F.Critical Accounting Policies
We have identified the policies outlined below as critical to our business operations and an understanding of our results of operations. The list is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all our accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, with no need for management's judgment in their application. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. Note that our preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.
These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS. The significant accounting policies are detailed as follows:
Significant accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions
Reclassifications
Certain accounts in the prior-year financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform with the presentation in the current-year financial statements.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions in order to apply the Company’s accounting policies, which have an effect on the reported amounts and disclosures made in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The following are the critical judgments and key sources of estimation:
Current versus noncurrent classification
The Company presents its assets and liabilities in the consolidated statement of consolidated statements of financial position based on current/non-current classification. An asset is current when it is:
*Expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle
*Held primarily for the purpose of trading
*Expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period
Or
4
*Cash unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
All other assets are classified as noncurrent.
A liability is current when:
*It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle
*It is held primarily for the purpose of trading
*It is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period
*There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period
*The terms of the liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
The Company classifies all other liabilities as noncurrent.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets and liabilities.
Revenue recognition
Further disclosures on revenue are provided in the following note:
The Company recognizes revenue from the following major sources:
*sale of pre-defined diagnostics report; and
*sale of specialized diagnostic services.
Both types for above reports are generated through test conducted using a DNA testing kit (“Kit”), which is provided to consumers at the time of sales order. Testing is completed when these kits are returned by the consumers for lab testing purposes. Completed kits containing the specimen are sent to a laboratory for processing. The Company analyzes the resulting genotype, generating a report for release to the consumer or ordering party. In management’s judgment, the Company’s activities comprise a single performance obligation as the various tasks are not distinct within the context of the contract: the Company’s obligation is to combine these inputs and only transfers control of the final report to the customer.
Sale of pre-defined diagnostics report
The Company sells pre-defined diagnostics reports through multiple channels including hospitals, healthcare practitioners, and direct to consumers via the Company’s website. The performance obligation is satisfied, and revenues are recognized when diagnostics reports are released to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to collect. A receivable is recognized by the Company as this represents the point in time at which the right to consideration becomes unconditional, as only the passage of time is required before payment is due.
5
Sale of specialized diagnostic services
The Company provides specialized diagnostic services to hospitals, healthcare practitioners, and various research facilities. The terms of the reports along with the price is agreed upon in the contract entered between the parties. The performance obligation is satisfied and revenues are recognized when diagnostics services have been performed and reports are released to the ordering party in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to collect. A receivable is recognized by the Company as this represents the point in time at which the right to consideration becomes unconditional, as only the passage of time is required before payment is due.
For both revenue streams, the transaction price is generally determined based on a stated price per unit and does not require significant judgment.
For both revenue streams, revenue is recognized at the point in time the DNA test report is made available to the customer. In management’s judgment, this occurs once the test and analysis are complete, after the results are reviewed by Company personnel, and released in the Company’s reporting system to be available for the customer to view.
Amounts collected in advance of services being provided are recorded as unearned revenue on the statement of consolidated statements of financial position. The associated revenue is recognized and the unearned revenue is reduced as the contracted services are subsequently performed. Sales to consumers are paid upfront prior to the Company sending a kit. Sales to institutional customers generally are paid on credit terms 10 to 90 days after the sample is received from the client for processing, or in some cases, prepaid by the institutional customer.
The Company collects sales tax on the revenues as per the laws of the jurisdiction, from where the services are provided or goods are sold. Sales tax collected and remains payable to the relevant government agency is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
The Company elected to expense sales commission and other costs incurred to obtain sales contracts for agreements that are expected to have terms of less than 12 months.
Financial instruments - initial recognition and subsequent measurement
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (“OCI”), and fair value through profit or loss.
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial assets contractual cash flow characteristics and the Company’s business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for
6
which the Company has applied the practical expedient, the Company initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Company has applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price as disclosed in revenue recognition note.
The Company’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both. Financial assets classified and measured at amortized cost are held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows while financial assets classified and measured at fair value through OCI are held within a business model with the objective of both holding to collect contractual cash flows and selling.
Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace (regular way trades) are recognized on the trade date, i.e., the date the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in two categories which are most relevant to the Company:
*Financial assets at amortized cost
*Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at amortized cost
The Company’s financial assets include cash, accounts receivable and receivables from shareholder which are carried at amortized cost.
Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognized (i.e., removed from the Company’s statement of financial position) when:
*The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
*The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset
When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent, it has retained the risks and
7
rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognize the transferred asset to the extent of its continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognizes an associated liability.
The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations the Company has retained.
The Company recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses (“ECLs”) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows the Company expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
ECLs are recognized in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).
For trade receivables, the Company applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Company does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date.
The Company considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 90-days past due. However, in certain cases, the Company may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates the Company is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Company. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.
Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
Subsequent measurement
*For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at amortized cost.
Financial liabilities at amortized cost (accounts payable and accrued liabilities)
8
This is the category most relevant to the Company. After initial recognition, loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (“EIR”) method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process.
Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the statement of profit or loss.
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are paid according to vendor terms, generally within 30 days. Due to the short duration, the carrying values equal the stated amounts due.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or canceled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Taxes
Further disclosure relating to the taxes is also provided in the following note:
*Income taxes (Note 14)
The Company has elected to include investment tax credits as a component of its income tax provision.
Current income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not in the consolidated statements of operations. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
9
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
The Company offsets deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities if and only if it has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.
G.Additional Company Matters
The Company has not filed for bankruptcy protection nor has it ever been involved in receivership or similar proceedings. The Company is not presently involved in any legal proceedings material to the business or financial condition of the Company. The Company does not anticipate any material reclassification, merger, consolidation, or purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of business, in the next 12 months.

Note 1—Nature of operations
These consolidated financial statements includes the financial results DNALabs Canada Inc. (the “Company” or “Parent”) and its wholly owned subsidiary DNALabs Corp. The Company is a limited privately held company incorporated and domiciled in Canada. The registered office is located at 200 – 1920 Yonge Street, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The Company has no ultimate beneficial owner as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, DNALab Corp, was incorporated under the laws of State of Delaware in the United States of America with its office located at 3651 FAU Boulevard, Suite 400, Boca Raton, Florida, United States.
The Company is principally engaged in the provision of deoxyribonucleic acid (“DNA”) testing services for various medical and non-medical purposes in Canada and the United States of America.
Note 2—Basis of presentation
Statement of Compliance – These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in compliance with adopted IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires Company management to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas where significant judgments and estimates have been made in preparing the consolidated financial statements and their effects are disclosed in Company’s significant accounting policies.
Basis of Measurement – A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies under IFRS is presented in Note 5.
These consolidated financial statements have been presented in Canadian dollars which is the functional currency of the Company and are prepared under the historical cost basis, unless otherwise stated.
Note 3—Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary. Control is achieved when the group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Company controls an investee if, and only if, the Company has:
-power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee)
-exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee
-The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns
Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights results in control. To support this presumption and when the Company has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

(In CAD)
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and for the six month period ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022.
-The contractual arrangement(s) with the other vote holders of the investee
-Rights arising from other contractual arrangements
-The group’s voting rights and potential voting rights
Note 3—Basis of consolidation (continued)
The Company re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the group gains control until the date the group ceases to control the subsidiary.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the consolidated financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with the Company’s accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.
If the Company loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the related assets (including goodwill), liabilities, non-controlling interest and other components of equity, while any resultant gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss. Any investment retained is recognized at fair value.
Note 4—Going concern
These consolidated financial statements are presented on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern. The going concern basis assumes the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. During the six months ended June 30,2023, the Company sustained a net comprehensive loss of $ 272,925, and has an excess of liabilities over assets amounting to $ 275,446 at June 30, 2023, and had negative cash flows from operations. These conditions cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, and therefore that it may be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Management is working to improve the financial results to more traditional levels by focusing on the business plan increasing sales within the United States and Canada. Management believes that anticipated cash flow from operations and cash increases as a result of improvements in working capital, will be sufficient to fund current operations and current working capital needs. Management believes the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues in addition to raising additional capital, provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company will be required to raise additional funds through public or private financing, additional collaborative relationships, or other arrangements until revenue increases to a point of positive cash flow. At present, the Company is engaged in a Regulation A securities offering, which, if successful, will provide additional capital to help fund current operations.

Revenue recognition
Further disclosures on revenue are provided in the following note:
*Note 6
The Company recognizes revenue from the following major sources:
*sale of pre-defined diagnostics report; and
*sale of specialized diagnostic services.
Both types for above reports are generated through test conducted using a DNA testing kit (“Kit”), which is provided to consumers at the time of sales order. Testing is completed when these kits are returned by the consumers for lab testing purposes. Completed kits containing the specimen are sent to a laboratory for processing.

Amounts collected in advance of services being provided are recorded as unearned revenue on the statement of consolidated statements of financial position. The associated revenue is recognized and the unearned revenue is reduced as the contracted services are subsequently performed. Sales to consumers

Financial instruments - initial recognition and subsequent measurement
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (“OCI”), and fair value through profit or loss.
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial assets contractual cash flow characteristics and the Company’s business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Company has applied the practical expedient, the Company initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Company has applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price as disclosed in revenue recognition note.
The Company’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both. Financial assets classified and measured at amortized cost are held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows while financial assets classified and measured at fair value through OCI are held within a business model with the objective of both holding to collect contractual cash flows and selling.
Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace (regular way trades) are recognized on the trade date, i.e., the date the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in two categories which are most relevant to the Company:
*Financial assets at amortized cost
*Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and for the six month period ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022.
Financial assets at amortized cost
The Company’s financial assets include cash, accounts receivable and receivables from shareholder which are carried at amortized cost.
Derecognition
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognized (i.e., removed from the Company’s statement of financial position) when:
*The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
*The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset
When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent, it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognize the transferred asset to the extent of its continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognizes an associated liability.
The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations the Company has retained.
The Company recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses (“ECLs”) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows the Company expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.
ECLs are recognized in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).
For trade receivables, the Company applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Company does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date.
The Company considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 90-days past due. However, in certain cases, the Company may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates the Company is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Company. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and for the six month period ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022.
Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
Subsequent measurement
*For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial liabilities are classified as Financial liabilities at amortized cost.
Financial liabilities at amortized cost (accounts payable and accrued liabilities)
This is the category most relevant to the Company. After initial recognition, loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (“EIR”) method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process.
Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the statement of profit or loss.
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are paid according to vendor terms, generally within 30 days. Due to the short duration, the carrying values equal the stated amounts due.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or canceled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
Taxes
Further disclosure relating to the taxes is also provided in the following note:
*Income taxes (Note 14)
The Company has elected to include investment tax credits as a component of its income tax provision.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and for the six month period ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022.
Current income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not in the consolidated statements of operations. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.
The Company offsets deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities if and only if it has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.
Foreign exchange
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars ($), which is Company’s functional currency. The functional currency of the US subsidiary of the Company is United States dollars. The foreign exchange rates were as follows:

USD/CAD closing rate at 30 June | 1.324 | 1.2678 |
USD/CAD average rates for the 6 months end June 30 | 1.3477 | 1.2535 |
Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Company at their respective functional currency spot rates at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date.
Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognized in profit or loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined.
The gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognized in OCI or profit or loss are also recognized in OCI or profit or loss,. respectively) In determining the spot exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense, or income (or part of it) on the derecognition of a non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability relating to advance consideration, the date of the transaction is the date on which the Company initially recognizes the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from the advance consideration. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, the Company determines the transaction date for each payment or receipt of advance consideration.
On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and their statements of profit or loss are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. The exchange difference arising on translation was presented within other comprehensive income (and classified in Other reserves) for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Government assistance
Government assistance is recognized where there is reasonable assurance the assistance will be received, and all attached conditions will be complied with.
The Company applied for financial assistance under available government subsidy programs for employers impacted by COVID-19. During 2022 and 2021, the Company received Canada Emergency Wage

Subsidies (“CEWS”) of approximately $0 and $2,900, respectively. Government assistance related to the wage subsidy has been recorded as a reduction of salaries and benefits.
The Company also received Canada Emergency Rent Subsidy (“CERS”) in 2022 and 2021 of approximately $0 and $285, respectively. Government assistance related to the rent subsidy has been recorded as a reduction of occupancy costs.
In addition, the Company received a loan under the Canada Emergency Business Account program as disclosed in Note 11.
Cash
Cash in the consolidated statement of financial position comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term, highly-liquid deposits with a maturity of three months or less, that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Provisions and Contingencies
Provisions represent liabilities to the Company for which the amount or timing is uncertain. Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable the Company will be required to settle that obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expected consideration to settle the obligation which, when the effect of the time value of money is material, is determined using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision during the period to reflect the passage of time is recognized in earnings as a finance cost.
Contingent liabilities also include obligations that are not recognized because their amount cannot be measured reliably or because settlement is not probable. Contingent liabilities do not include provisions for which it is certain the Company has a present obligation that is more likely than not to lead to an outflow of cash or other economic resources, even though the amount or timing is uncertain. A contingent liability is not recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position. However, unless the possibility of an outflow of economic resources is remote, a contingent liability is disclosed in the notes.
Note 6—Revenue
The Company derives its revenue mainly from the following two channels:
Institutional consumers include hospital, wellness clinics, and other healthcare practitioners. DNA tests ordered through the Company’s website are included in retail consumers.
There was no revenue recognized in the 6 months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30,2022 from performance obligations satisfied in the prior periods, such as changes in transaction prices. Management expects to recognize the Company’s $ 20,561 unearned revenue at June 30, 2023 upon completion of the underlying reports from kits within a few weeks of end of fiscal period.

Note 11—Government assistance loan
The Company applied for a loan under the Canada Emergency Business Account (“CEBA”) program introduced by the Government of Canada to support businesses impacted by the pandemic COVID-19. The loan is interest-free to December 31, 2023 (extended from December 31, 2022 by Canadian government), and if fully repaid will result in loan forgiveness of $20,000. The balance outstanding after this date will bear interest at 5.00% per annum to December 31, 2025, and the Company will not be eligible for loan forgiveness.
At December 31, 2022, the outstanding principal balance was $60,000 (at December 31, 2021 – the same). The loan was initially recognized in 2020 at fair value using market interest rate determined by independent appraiser (15.74%). The difference between the nominal value and fair value was recognized as deferred income (deferred government assistance) and is recognized in income statement over the initial loan term. The anticipated income from loan forgiveness is not accounted for in the calculations and will be recognized if and when the requirements for the waiver have been substantially met by the Company.
Note 12—Share capital and net loss per share
The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares class A, B and a few other classes with characteristics identical to class A. All common shares have no par value.

$20,964 of share based compensation costs during the 2022 (see below)
On June 22, 2022, the Corporation entered into a consulting agreement with Kendall Almerico (the “Consultant”) whereby the Corporation retained to services of the Consultant as a general consultant acting in connection with the Corporation’s use of the JOBS Act related to equity crowdfunding under Regulation A. The consulting agreement provides for the Consultant to receive compensation by way of 11,400 options exercisable within 5 years for $4.50 once the total amount of capital raised exceeds USD 100,000 (or if the Company discontinues collaboration).
This arrangement has been classified as an equity-settled share-based payment under IFRS 2. The Corporation recognised $20,964 of share-based payment expense relating to the services received in 2022 under this agreement. The recognised expense was measured with reference to fair value of services received.
No milestone was reached during the year ended December 31, 2022 or the six months ended June 30, 2023, and therefore no options were issued during that period to the Consultant.
No provision has been created by the Company in respect of this and certain other agreements with legal consultants that provide for additional 17,100 options to be issued and cash outflows once total amount of capital raised reaches USD 1,000,000.

The Company has non-capital losses carried forward for tax purposes. This tax difference results in a future tax asset of $97,273 assessing the recoverability of the future tax asset, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the future tax asset will be realized. The ultimate realization of future tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. As the Company is in start-up stage, there is a doubt regarding the future utilization of the asset and, therefore, an impairment of $97,273 on the deferred tax assets has not been recognized. If and when recognized, the tax benefits related to any reversal of the impairment on deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2022, will be accounted for as a reduction in income tax expense (income taxes recovered).

Note 16—Financial instruments and risk management
The Company classifies fair value measurements within a hierarchy which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 - Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability.
The carrying amounts of the following financial assets and liabilities are considered a reasonable approximation of fair value given their short maturity periods: cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses.
The government assistance loan and convertible notes were initially recognized at fair value using Level 3 input. In determining fair value for Level 3 instruments, the Company applies discounted cash-flow method. To determine the Company’s credit risk, the Company estimates credit risk by benchmarking the rate of return on expected of its debt to publicly-available comparable data from related companies. Using the estimated rating, the Company’s credit risk was quantified by reference to publicly-traded debt with a corresponding rating.
The Company manages its exposure to financial risk under the direction of its Board of Directors and focuses on actively securing the Company’s short-term to medium term cash flows by minimizing the exposure to financial markets. The Company's significant financial risks are described below.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk the company is not able to meet its obligations associated with its financial instruments. The company is exposed to this risk primarily through its accounts payable and accrued expenses, and other borrowings as well as from issue of common shares and convertible instruments. The company finances its operations through a combination of cash flows from operations and borrowings. Liquidity needs are actively monitored by management.
The below details financial liabilities by maturity based on remaining period from December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 to contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed are the contractual undiscounted cash flows:

Concentration and credit risk
Credit risk is the risk one party to a transaction will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The company is exposed to credit risk on the accounts receivable from clients. The maximum exposure to credit risk equals to the carrying amounts of financial assets in the statement of financial position. In order to reduce its credit risk, the company has adopted credit policies which include the regular review of outstanding accounts receivable.
For the year ended December 31, 2022 the Company did not have sales to any individual customer exceeding 10% of total Company revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, one customer with revenue greater than 10% of the Company’s total revenue comprised approximately 11% of the Company’s revenue. The accounts receivable for this customer totaled $6,328 at June 30, 2023.
Certain of the raw materials, components, and equipment associated with the DNA microarrays and kits used by the Company in the delivery of its services are available only from third party suppliers. The Company also relies on a third party laboratory service for the processing of its customer samples. Shortages and slowdowns could occur in these essential materials, components, equipment, and laboratory services due to an interruption of supply or increased demand in the industry. If the Company were unable to procure certain materials, components, equipment, or laboratory services at acceptable prices, it would be required to reduce its laboratory operations, which could have a material, adverse effect on its results of operations. A single supplier accounted for 100% of the Company’s total purchases of microarrays and the same single supplier accounted for 100% of the Company’s total purchases of kits for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the six months ended June 30, 2023. One laboratory service provider accounted

for 100% of the Company’s processing of customer samples for the year ended December 31, 2022 and and the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk is comprised of three types of risks: foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, and price risk. The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk and price risk.
Foreign currency risk
The Company’s activities involve holding foreign currencies and purchases and sales denominated in foreign currencies. These activities result in exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. At statement date of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had net liabilities denominated in U.S. dollars of approximately $212,387 and $110,320, respectively. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to currency risk.
An increase of 10% in the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar, with all other variables remaining constant, would decrease the Company’s net loss for the year ended December 31, 2022 and six months ended June 30, 2023 by approximately $14,941 and $28,094, respectively while a decrease of 10% would increase the net loss by approximately $14,941 and $28,094, respectively .
Price risk
The Company’s primary cost of fulfilling its sales contracts relates to laboratory processing fees. The Company manages by having under contract the laboratory fees on a fixed per unit processed. The laboratory contract renews on an annual basis with the service provider, with no committed quantities by the Company. The Company also manages this risk with its customers by providing customer pricing specific to the order for immediate or short duration expected fulfillment, or under customer contract for not longer than two years.
Note 17—Segment reporting and disclosures by geographic location
The Company determined that it operates as one operating segment. The Board of Directors is the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The CODM makes decisions based on the Company as a whole. In addition, the Company has a common basis for organization and types of products and services which derive revenues and consistent product margins. Accordingly, the Company operates and makes decisions as one reportable segment.
The following table presents geographic information about revenue attributed to countries based on the location of external customers for each of the year ended December 31, 2022 and the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Note 18—Standards issued but not yet effective
As of the date of authorization of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, certain new standards, amendments and interpretations, and improvements to existing standards have been published by the IASB but are not yet effective and have not been adopted early by the Company. Management anticipates all of the relevant pronouncements will be adopted in the first reporting period following the date of application, if applicable. Management is currently assessing, but has not yet determined, the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Information on new standards, amendments and interpretations, and improvements to existing standards, which could potentially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements, are detailed as follows.
Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current
In January 2020 and October 2022, the Board issued amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non--current. The amendments clarify:
What is meant by a right to defer settlement.
That a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period.
That classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right.
That only if an embedded derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument would the terms of a liability not impact its classification.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024 and must be applied retrospectively.
Definition of Accounting Estimates - Amendments to IAS 8
In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 8, in which it introduces a definition of accounting estimates. The amendments clarify the distinction between changes in accounting estimates and changes in
accounting policies and the correction of errors. Also, they clarify how entities use measurement techniques and inputs to develop accounting estimates. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 and apply to changes in accounting policies and changes in accounting estimates that occur on or after the start of that period. Earlier application is permitted if this fact is disclosed.
Disclosure of Accounting Policies - Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2
In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality

Judgements, in which it provides guidance and examples to help entities apply materiality judgements to accounting policy disclosures. The amendments aim to help entities provide accounting policy disclosures that are more useful by replacing the requirement for entities to disclose their ‘significant’ accounting policies with requirement to disclose their ‘material’ accounting policies and adding guidance on how entities apply the concept of materiality in making decisions about accounting policy disclosures.
The amendments to IAS 1 are applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023 with earlier application permitted. Since the amendments to the Practice Statement 2 provide non-mandatory guidance on the application of the definition of material to accounting policy information, an effective date for these amendments is not necessary.
Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction - Amendments to IAS 12
In May 2021, the Board issued amendments to IAS 12, which narrow the scope of the initial recognition exception under IAS 12, so that it no longer applies to transactions that give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences.
The amendments should be applied to transactions that occur on or after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. In addition, at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented, a deferred tax asset (provided that sufficient taxable profit is available) and a deferred tax liability should also be recognised for all deductible and taxable temporary differences associated with leases and decommissioning obligations.
