**Avricore Health Inc.**

**Consolidated Financial Statements**

**For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023**

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

![](ex1_002.jpg)

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Avricore Health Inc.

**Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Avricore Health Inc. and its subsidiaries (together, the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the "Financial Statements").

In our opinion, the Financial Statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

**Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern**

The accompanying Financial Statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 1, the Company has recurring net losses and negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's evaluation of the events and conditions and plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

**Basis for Opinion**

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

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

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

**Critical Audit Matters**

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the Financial Statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the Financial Statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the Financial Statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

<u>Impairment of Equipment and Related Intangible Asset</u>

*Critical Audit Matter Description*

 

We draw your attention to Notes 3(l), 6 and 7 of the Financial Statements. During the year, the agreement with the Company's major customer was not renewed and expired on March 31, 2025. The loss of this major customer has significantly impacted the Company's revenue and financial position in the December 31, 2025 year end. As a result, the Company performed an impairment test and recognized an impairment loss of $422,950 for equipment and an impairment loss of $70,594 for the related intangible assets. Significant judgment is exercised by the Company in performing its impairment assessment and significant assumptions are used in the impairment test, and include the following:

● The determination of the appropriate cash-generating unit ("CGU") to consider how the Company's equipment and related intangible assets generate cash inflows.

● The determination that the fair value less cost of disposal was appropriate as a basis for the recoverable amount as the value in use would not derive value because of current and expected significant losses and negative CGU cashflows.

● The fair value less cost of disposal was estimated based on measurable resale values, considering the assets' condition and supportable marketability.

Given these factors, the related audit effort in evaluating management's judgments in determining the impairment recognized and the carrying value of equipment as of December 31, 2025 was significant and required a high degree of auditor judgment.

*How the Critical Audit Matter was Addressed in the Audit*

 

We responded to this matter by performing the following procedures:

● We evaluated management's methodology and assumptions used in determining that fair value less cost of disposal was the appropriate basis for the recoverable amount. We considered the current and expected negative CGU cash flows for the value-in-use in assessing the use of fair values less cost of disposal as the basis for the recoverable amount.

● We assessed the reasonableness of recoverable amounts estimated for equipment and related intangibles on measurable resale values, considering the assets' condition and supportable marketability.

● We assessed whether the impairment loss was appropriately allocated to the Company's equipment and related intangibles in accordance with IAS 36.

● We reviewed the adequacy of the related disclosures in the Financial Statements.

**Avricore Health Inc.**

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023

*(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)*

 

**1.** **NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN** 

Avricore Health Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the *Company Act* of British Columbia on May 30, 2000. The Company's common shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") under the symbol "AVCR" and are quoted on the OTCQB Market as "AVCRF". The Company's registered office is at 700 – 1199 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 3T5.

The Company is involved in the business of health data and point-of-care technologies ("POCT").

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will continue in operations for the foreseeable future and be able to realize assets and satisfy liabilities in the normal course of business. The availability of sufficient cash flows to fund the Company's operations are dependent on revenues and other financing sources which are subject to uncertainty. The Company has recurring net losses and negative cash flows from operations and experienced a significant decrease in sales during the year ended December 31, 2025. As at December 31, 2025, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $34,263,284. These factors raise a material uncertainty that may raise substantial doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate revenue from its operations and/or raise additional financing to cover ongoing cash requirements. The consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments, which could be material, to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, which may be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

**2.** **BASIS OF PRESENTATION** 

**a)** **Statement of compliance** 

The consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").

**b)** **Basis of preparation** 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs, modified where applicable. The material accounting policies are presented in Note 3 of the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 and have been consistently applied in each of the periods presented. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the presentation and functional currency of the Company. The functional currency of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary HealthTab Ltd. is the UK pound sterling.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company's management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment and complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 3 (m). Actual results might differ from these estimates. The Company's management reviews these estimates and underlying judgments on an ongoing basis, based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates are adjusted for prospectively in the year in which the estimates are revised.

*(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)*

 

**2.** **BASIS OF PRESENTATION** (continued)

**c)** **Basis of consolidation** 

The consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and results of operations of all entities controlled by the Company. Inter-company balances and transactions, including unrealized income and expenses arising from inter-company transactions, are eliminated in preparing the Company's consolidated financial statements. Where control of an entity is obtained during a financial year, its results are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss from the date on which control commences. Where control of an entity ceases during a financial year, its results are included for that part of the year during which control exists.

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, HealthTabTM Inc and HealthTab Inc.'s wholly owned United Kingdom subsidiary, HealthTabTM Ltd.

**3.** **SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

**a)** **Revenue recognition** 

The Company's revenues are generated from operating leases of the POCT system and sale of testing panels. Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is shown net of tax and discounts.

The Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of goods and services to clients in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services by applying the following steps:

● Identify the contract with a customer;

● Identify
the performance obligations in the contract;

● Determine
the transaction price;

● Allocate
the transaction price to the performance obligations; and

● Recognize
revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

Revenue may be earned over time as the performance obligations are satisfied or at a point in time which is when the entity has earned a right to payment, the customer has possession of the asset and the related significant risks and rewards of ownership, and the customer has accepted the asset.

The Company's arrangements with customers can include multiple performance obligations. When contracts involve various performance obligations, the Company evaluates whether each performance obligation is distinct and should be accounted for as a separate unit of accounting under IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

**3.** **SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES** (continued)

**a)** **Revenue recognition** (continued)

The Company determines the standalone selling price by considering its overall pricing objectives and market conditions. Significant pricing practices taken into consideration include discounting practices, the size and volume of our transactions, our marketing strategy, historical sales and contract prices. The determination of standalone selling prices is made through consultation with and approval by management, taking into consideration our go-to-market strategy. As the Company's go-to-market strategies evolve, the Company may modify its pricing practices in the future, which could result in changes in relative standalone selling prices.

The Company generally receives payment from its customers after invoicing within the normal 28-day commercial terms. If a customer is specifically identified as a credit risk, recognition of revenue is deferred except to the extent of fees that have already been collected.

**b)** **Leases** 

A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys a lessee the right to control the use of lessor's identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

***The Company as a lessee***

 ****

A lease liability is recognized at the commencement of the lease term at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. At the commencement date, a corresponding right-of-use asset is recognized at the amount of the lease liability, adjusted for lease incentives received, retirement costs and initial direct costs. Depreciation is recognized on the right-of-use asset over the lease term. Interest expense is recognized on the lease liabilities using the effective interest rate method and payments are applied against the lease liability.

Key areas where management has made judgments, estimates, and assumptions related to the application of IFRS 16 include:

The incremental borrowing rates are based on judgments including economic environment, term, currency, and the underlying risk inherent to the asset. The carrying balance of the right-of-use assets, lease liabilities, and the resulting interest expense and depreciation expense, may differ due to changes in the market conditions and lease term.

- Lease terms are based on assumptions regarding extension terms that allow for operational flexibility and future market conditions.

***The Company as a lessor***

 ****

A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. All other leases are classified as finance leases.

Leases of the Company's POCT systems to customers are classified as operating leases. Lease payments from operating leases are recognized as income on a straight-line basis. All costs, including depreciation, incurred in earning the operating lease income are recognized as cost of sales. Initial direct costs incurred in obtaining an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the underlying asset and recognized as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income. The depreciation for depreciable underlying assets subject to operating leases is in accordance with depreciation policy for the Company's equipment.

**3.** **SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES** (continued)

**c)** **Foreign currency** 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of the respective entity, using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the remeasurement of monetary items at year-end exchange rates are recognized in profit or loss.

Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rates at the date of the transaction and are not retranslated. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are translated using the exchange rates at the date when fair value was determined.

The results and financial position of consolidated entities that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

● Equity is translated at historical rates of exchange at the reporting date.

● Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the reporting date.

● Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the year.

● All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income as cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.

**d)** **Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on account, demand deposits and money market investments with maturities from the date of acquisition of three months or less, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to insignificant changes in value.

**e)** **Intangible assets** 

All intangible assets acquired separately by the Company are recorded at cost on the date of acquisition. Intangible assets that have indefinite lives are measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets comprise of software, intellectual property, trademarks and web domains and distribution rights, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over 3 years. The Company's system software is amortized on a declining balance basis at 20%. Amortization rates are reviewed annually to ensure they are aligned with estimates of remaining economic useful lives of the associated intangible assets.

**f)** **Equipment** 

Equipment acquired by the Company is recorded at cost on the date of acquisition. Equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is calculated on a declining balance method over their estimated useful lives. The Company's system hardware is amortized at 55% and system analyzers at 20%.

**3.** **SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES** (continued)

**g)** **Share-based payments** 

The Company operates an incentive share purchase option plan. Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortized over the vesting periods. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The corresponding amount is recorded to the option reserve. The fair value of options is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which incorporates all market vesting conditions. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognized for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.

**h)** **Share capital** 

Proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants are recorded as share capital in the amount for which the option or warrant enabled the holder to purchase a share in the Company. Any previously recorded share-based payment related to the options or warrants exercised included in reserves is transferred to share capital on the exercise of options or warrants. Share capital issued for non-monetary consideration is valued at the closing market price at the date of issuance. The proceeds from issuance of units are allocated between common shares and warrants based on the residual method. Under this method, the proceeds are allocated first to share capital based on the fair value of the common shares at the time the units are issued and any residual value is allocated to the warrants reserve. Consideration received for the exercise of warrants is recorded in share capital, and any related amount recorded in warrants reserve is transferred to share capital.

**i)** **Income (loss) per share** 

Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in earnings of an entity. In a loss year, potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the loss per share calculation as the effect would be anti-dilutive. Basic and diluted income (loss) per share are the same for the periods presented.

**j)** **Income taxes** 

Income tax expense, consisting of current and deferred tax expense, is recognized in the statements of operations. Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at period-end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regard to previous years.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities and the related deferred income tax expense or recovery are recognized for deferred tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income (loss) in the period that substantive enactment occurs.

**3.** **SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES** (continued)

**j)** **Income taxes** (continued)

A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. To the extent that the Company does not consider it probable that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, the deferred tax asset is reduced. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

**k)** **Financial instruments** 

**Classification**

The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: at fair value through profit and loss ("FVTPL"), at fair value through other comprehensive income (loss) ("FVTOCI"), or at amortized cost. The Company determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition. The classification of debt instruments is driven by the Company's business model for managing the financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Equity instruments that are held for trading are classified as FVTPL. For other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate them as at FVTOCI. Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL (such as instruments held for trading or derivatives) or the Company has opted to measure them at FVTPL.

The Company has classified its cash and cash equivalents as FVTPL and term deposit, accounts receivable and accounts payable as amortized cost.

**Measurement**

***Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost***

 ****

Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value plus or minus

transaction costs, respectively, and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment.

***Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL***

 ****

Financial assets and liabilities carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities held at FVTPL are included in the profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

***Financial assets at FVTOCI***

 ****

Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently they are measured at fair value, with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) as they arise.

***Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost***

 ****

An 'expected credit loss' impairment model applies which requires a loss allowance to be recognized based on expected credit losses. The estimated present value of future cash flows associated with the asset is determined and an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between this amount and the carrying amount as follows: the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to estimated present value of the future cash flows associated with the asset, discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate, either directly or through the use of an allowance account and the resulting loss is recognized in profit or loss for the period. In a subsequent period, if the amount of the impairment loss related to financial assets measured at amortized cost decreases, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.

**k)** **Financial Instruments** (continued)

**Derecognition**

***Financial assets***

 ****

The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all of the associated risks and rewards of ownership to another entity. Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recognized in profit or loss.

**l)** **Impairment of equipment and intangible assets** 

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its equipment and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. Individual assets are grouped together as a cash generating unit for impairment assessment purposes at the lowest level at which there are identifiable cash flows that are independent from other group assets. The Company has one cash generating unit, the HealthTab system, comprised of system software, system analyzers and system hardware.

If any such indication of impairment exists, the Company makes an estimate of its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposition and value in use. Where the carrying amount of a cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the cash generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are adjusted for the risks specific to the cash generating unit and are discounted to their present value with a discount rate that reflects the current market indicators. The recoverable amount of intangible assets with an indefinite useful life, intangible assets not available for use, or goodwill acquired in a business combination are measured annually whether or not there are any indications that impairment exists.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the cash generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the cash generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized as income immediately.

**m)** **Significant accounting estimates and judgments** 

**Estimates**

Significant estimates used in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are as follows:

**3.** **SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES** (continued)

**m)** **Significant accounting estimates and judgments** (continued)

<u>Share-based payments</u>

The Company grants share-based awards to certain directors, officers, employees, consultants and other eligible persons. For equity-settled awards, the fair value is charged to the statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and credited to the reserves over the vesting period using the graded vesting method, after adjusting for the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest.

The fair value of equity-settled awards is determined at the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For equity-settled awards to non-employees, the fair value is measured at each vesting date. The estimate of warrant and option valuation also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model, including the volatility, expected life of warrants and options, risk free interest rate and dividend yield. Management must also make significant judgments or assessments as to how financial assets and liabilities are categorized.

<u>Estimation of useful lives of equipment and intangible assets</u>

Amortization of equipment and intangible assets (software) is dependent upon estimates of their useful lives. **T**he useful lives of the assets are assessed annually and may vary from previous estimates depending on a number of factors. In reassessing asset lives, factors such as technological innovation, product lifecycles, maintenance, and fair value of equipment are taken into account.

<u>Recoverable amounts of equipment and intangible assets</u>

The carrying amount of the Company's equipment and intangible assets (software) is reviewed at each financial reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset or its cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss for the period.

***Judgments***

 ****

Significant judgments used in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are as follows:

<u>Revenue recognition</u>

Revenue is recognized when the revenue recognition criteria expressed in the accounting policy disclosed in Note 3(a) have been met. Judgment may be required when allocating revenue or discounts on sales amongst the various elements in a sale involving multiple performance obligations.

<u>Indicators of impairment</u>

Indicators of impairment include observable declines in market value, significant negative changes in sales, or the technological, market, economic, or legal environment and increases in market interest rates. Judgement is required to determine the recoverable amount which is the higher of an assets fair value less costs of disposition and its value in use.

**m)** **Significant accounting estimates and judgments** (continued)<br>

<u>Deferred income taxes</u>

Tax interpretations, regulations and legislation in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates are subject to change. The determination of income tax expense and deferred tax involves judgment and estimates as to the future taxable earnings, expected timing of reversals of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and interpretations of laws in the countries in which the Company operates. The Company is subject to assessments by tax authorities who may interpret the tax law differently. Changes in these estimates may materially affect the final amount of deferred taxes or the timing of tax payments. If a positive forecast of taxable income indicates the probable use of a deferred tax asset, especially when it can be utilized without a time limit, that deferred tax asset is usually recognized in full.

<u>Going concern</u>

Management has applied judgements in the assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern when preparing its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but is not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period. The factors considered by management are disclosed in Note 1.

**n)** **Application of new and revised accounting standards and accounting standards issued but not yet effective** 

There are no significant changes in accounting policies but several amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards and interpretations became effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025.

<u>Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 – Classification and Measurement of Financial instruments</u>

The amendments provide guidance on the derecognition of a financial liability settled through electronic transfer, as well as the classification of financial assets for: contractual terms consistent with a basic lending arrangement; assets with non-recourse features and contractually linked instruments.

Additionally, the amendments introduce new disclosure requirements related to investments in equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"), and additional disclosures for financial instruments with contingent features. These amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. The Company is currently assessing these standards, and their potential impact on the Company in the current or future reporting periods.

<u>IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements</u>

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements. This standard aims to improve the consistency and clarity of financial statement presentation and disclosures by providing updated guidance on the structure and content of financial statements. Key changes include enhanced requirements for the presentation of financial performance, financial position, and cash flows, as well as additional disclosures to improve transparency and comparability. In addition, IFRS 18 requires entities to classify income and expenses into five categories, three of which are new – i.e. operating, investing and financing – and the income tax and discontinued operation categories. The new standard sets out detailed requirements for classifying income and expenses into each category. These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of IFRS 18 will have on its Financial Statements.

**17.** **FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT** (continued)

**a)** **Credit risk** 

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises primarily from the Company's cash and cash equivalents, term deposits and accounts receivable. The Company's cash and cash equivalents and term deposits are held through a large Canadian financial institution. The Company does not have financial assets that are invested in asset-backed commercial paper.

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its accounts receivable but does not require collateral. The Company establishes an allowance for expected credit losses based on the credit risk applicable to particular customers and historical data.

Approximately 72% of trade receivables are due from one customer at December 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024 – 97% from one customer).

**b)** **Liquidity risk** 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will incur difficulties meeting its financial obligations as they are due. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions without incurring unacceptable losses or risking harm to the Company's reputation. Liquidity risk has been assessed as moderate.

The Company monitors its spending plans, repayment obligations and cash resources, and takes actions with the objective of ensuring that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term business requirements. To facilitate its expenditure program, the Company raises funds primarily through public equity financing.

Contractual undiscounted cash flow requirements for financial liabilities as at December 31, 2025 are as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Carrying value** | **Contractual<br> Cash flows** | **Within 1 year 1** | **- 5 Years** |
| Trade accounts payable | $172521 | $172521 | $172521 | $- |
|  | 172521 | 172521 | 172521 | - |

---

c) Market risk

Market risk for the Company consists of currency risk and interest rate risk. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposure within acceptable limits, while maximizing returns.

***Currency risk***

 ****

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange rate risk mainly due to its operations in United Kingdom. The Company manages its risk by using accredited financial institutions to process its foreign currency transactions ensuring the market rate of foreign exchange.

***Currency risk (continued)***

 **

The following are balances of foreign currency exposure as of December 31 (Canadian dollar values of GB pound balances):

---

| |
|:---|
| Cash |
| Accounts receivable |
| Accounts payable |

---

Based on the above net exposures as at December 31, 2025, a 10% appreciation in the GB pound would result in a $45 change in the Company's other comprehensive income for the year.

***Interest rate risk***

 ****

Interest rate risk is the risk that fair values or future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. In respect of financial assets, the Company's policy is to invest cash at fixed interest rates and cash reserves are to be maintained in cash equivalents in order to maintain liquidity, while achieving a satisfactory return for shareholders. The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk.

**c)** **Fair values of financial instruments** 

The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities and amounts resulting from direct arm's length transactions.

Cash and cash equivalents are valued using quoted market prices or from amounts resulting from direct arm's length transactions. As a result, these financial assets have been included in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using a level 1 measurement. The carrying amounts of term deposits, accounts receivable and accounts payable are of approximate fair value due to their short-term maturity or current market rates for similar instruments.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full contractual term. Derivatives are included in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as they are valued using price models. These models require a variety of inputs, including, but not limited to, contractual terms, market prices, forward price curves, yield curves and credit spreads.

Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability are not based on observable market data.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

April 30, 2026

**OVERVIEW**

Avricore Health is committed to advancing pharmacy practice and patient care by acquiring and developing innovative early-stage technologies. At the core of this strategy is HealthTabTM, our wholly owned turnkey point-of-care testing (POCT) platform that empowers pharmacies to become proactive community diagnostic centers. HealthTabTM enhances the role of pharmacists in delivering frontline care by enabling rapid screening and clinical decision-making directly at the pharmacy counter. With a growing focus on accessible, efficient care—especially for chronic disease management—HealthTabTM contributes to improved patient outcomes and creates long-term value for all stakeholders.

Avricore continues to reach critical milestones, driven by strategic expansion, innovative offerings, and solid financial performance. These efforts position the company for sustained growth and market leadership in the evolving healthcare ecosystem.

**Adapting to a Changing Healthcare Landscape**

Healthcare systems globally are under increasing pressure due to budget constraints, clinician shortages, and rising demand for services. In Canada, over 6 million people lack access to a family doctor, and among those who do, only 29% receive timely care. Compounding the challenge, nearly a third of family doctors are expected to retire or leave the profession within the next three years. In the UK, with just 25% of physicians serving as GPs, individual practitioners are managing caseloads averaging 2,300 patients each.

As these strains intensify, pharmacy is emerging as a key player in delivering primary care services. HealthTabTM is at the forefront of this shift—offering pharmacists tools to conduct essential screenings, identify urgent care needs, and forge deeper patient relationships. The platform reduces the burden on traditional healthcare settings and helps drive efficiencies in care delivery.

The market demand for point-of-care solutions continues to grow, accelerated by the need for cost-effective, scalable, and decentralized care. HealthTabTM is uniquely positioned to meet this demand, providing innovative solutions where and when patients need them most.

**HEALTHTABTM – KEY DEVELOPMENTS**

**Financial Highlights:**

● 38 HealthTabTM systems were operating in the UK as of December 1, 2025; 7 in North East London, and 6 in North Central London and 25 in additional locations outside London

● HealthTabTM is being deployed in a new pilot launched by Barts Health NHS Trust, in collaboration with UCL Partners and the British Heart Foundation (BHF), to deliver inclisiran cholesterol-lowering injections through community pharmacies – a major expansion to secondary prevention.

● HealthTab has gained meaningful traction within the NHS, including the screening of more than 3,500 patients in community pharmacies across North East and North Central London through a collaboration with Barts Health NHS Trust. In an initial lipid-screening cohort of 556 patients, approximately one in five was identified as having elevated cardiovascular risk.

● During an initial one-month pilot of HbA1c testing for diabetes screening, the Company completed 2,295 HbA1c tests across 57 locations, achieving a monthly per-location average 10 times higher than previously achieved in Canada.

● In the year ended December 31, 2025 revenue decreased by 89% year over year to $533,884 and gross profit decreased by 87% to $238,295.

**Avricore Health Inc.**

Management's Discussion and Analysis

April 30, 2026

● In the three months ended December 31, 2025 revenue decreased by 98% year over year to $33,451.

● In the year ended December 31, 2025 the Company recorded a comprehensive loss of $1,858,840 (2024 – $669,024) and a net decrease in cash of $904,474 (2024 -increase $855,821).

**Growth Strategy 2025 and Beyond:**

Recently, the Company announced its strategy to grow HealthTab™ in the United Kingdom — a decision aligned with the region's robust healthcare market and significant investment in pharmacy-led services.

With operations in the Shoppers Drug Mart locations in Canada having concluded as of March 31, 2025, this allows for the redeployment of devices in Canada and the UK. This transition enhances resource efficiency and reduces upfront capital requirements for expanded device deployment.

Because the Company expects devices to be redeployed to new locations in Canada and the UK, management estimates that the Company will not require investment in new devices for the next 12 to 18 months. It also expects cash-on-hand, expected future cash inflows from revenues, and cash savings from redeployment of devices estimated to be sufficient to finance working capital for the next 12 to 18 months.

**UK Market Opportunity**

The timing of the Company's strategic efforts is driven by unprecedented UK government investment in UK pharmacy services:

● The UK Government's foundational strategy for the nation is detailed in its Plan for Change, launched in late 2024, where it lays out specific goals to increase access to NHS lead care by focusing on community care options, like pharmacy, and engaging in preventative health measures, specifically for chronic diseases, such as heart disease. (<u>Source</u>: pg. 27).

● On March 31, 2025, following a 6-week consultation, the Department of Health and Social Care announced an extra £617 million over 2 years to support community pharmacy, including fee increases for blood-pressure screening to identify undiagnosed hypertension. (<u>source</u>)

● The Community Pharmacy Pathfinder Program lays out the mandate and milestones for pharmacists to become Independent Prescribers, giving them the ability, for the first time, to directly diagnose and prescribe for chronic disease like cardiovascular disease. (<u>source</u>) Government also clearly intimating that point-of-care screening, as this will be required to meet this new pharmacy services practice.

● The NHS committed £645 million (approx. $1.1 billion CAD) to its Pharmacy First program in 2024.

● Currently, the NHS has one of the lowest family doctors to patient ratios it's had in decades, meaning one GP is responsible for almost 2300 patients on average.

● The NHS has mandated standardized electronic health records integration across all NHS services (HealthTabTM is a digital platform that integrates with electronic health record systems).

● Pharmacy-based screening programs have shown strong patient uptake. On October 11, 2024, the NHS Confederation, who represents NHS providers with over 1.5 million staff, caring for more than 1 million patients a day and control £150 billion of public expenditure, released their report measuring return on investment (ROI) for healthcare expenditures. The report listed community based cardiovascular disease screening and prevention as one of the best ROI's at £7.52 per £1 and £9 for diabetes invested after five years, further stating that "Implementing community pharmacies to aid in the detection of cardiovascular disease provided the quickest return, within one year."

● There are nearly 12,000 pharmacies in the UK, and more than half are participating currently in POCT blood-pressure screening, conducting approximately 250,000 screenings per month, demonstrating high amounts of undiagnosed hypertension.

**Avricore Health Inc.**

Management's Discussion and Analysis

April 30, 2026

● Recently, the NHS announced "shocking" findings of the rapid rise of strokes in people over 50, rising 55% in the last ten years. (<u>Source</u>)

● Only about 7% of UK pharmacies are profitable, adding services will not only ensure better access to care for patients and reduce acute and long-term chronic disease costs, but also ensure financial security for these critical healthcare access points. (<u>Source</u>)

**Initial UK Expansion and Implementation**

The Company's first HealthTabTM UK deployment in North East London pharmacies targets an area with significant cardiovascular disease burden and demonstrates the HealthTabTM platform's potential for rapid scaling:

● In November 2024 the Company announced the first cholesterol testing location in North East London.

● HealthTabTM is partnered with UCL Partners, an academic health science centre located in London, England. It is the largest academic health science centre in the world, treats more than 1.5 million patients each year, has a combined annual turnover of around £2 billion and includes around 3,500 scientists, senior researchers and consultants.

● HealthTabTM has integrated with NHS digital pathways, achieving data access objectives set out in current plans, and is continuing with further API connections.

● Focus is on areas with highest preventable disease burden.

● HealthTabTM enjoys strong support from local health authorities and pharmacy leadership.

● Cholesterol testing will expand to additional pharmacies in the coming months.

Avricore's HealthTabTM platform has been selected by a collaborative effort involving Barts Heart Centre, UCL Partners and HEART UK to assess the feasibility of community pharmacists in the UK providing cholesterol testing alongside blood pressure checks for cardiovascular risk evaluation. The study aims to build on the success of over 930,000 blood pressure checks conducted in 6,000 pharmacies as part of an NHS initiative. With NHS England allocating £645 million (approx. $1.1 billion CAD) to increase access to primary care in community pharmacy, HealthTabTM will support pharmacists in delivering vital support for chronic diseases.

Recently, the British Medical Journal conducted a comprehensive review of point-of-care devices used within the UK, noting that two-thirds fail to meet standards. The project lead for the NE London Initiative HealthTab was selected for was invited to offer comment on this in the Pharmaceutical Journal as the project's prominence and leadership in this area were noted for utilizing best practices to ensure the highest standards, read the article <u>here</u>.

The reseller agreement between HealthTabTM Inc. and Abbott Rapid Diagnostics Limited UK & Ireland provides a foundation for HealthTabTM to purchase and distribute the AfinionTM 2 and associated tests for diabetes and heart disease screening in community pharmacies in the United Kingdom.

**Continuing and New Canadian Initiatives:**

● In September 2023, the Company announced its first testing location within Rexall's Pharmacy Walk-In Clinic in Sherwood Park, Alberta. That location, a first for Rexall as well, offers both the Afinion 2TM blood-chemistry analyzer as well as the ID NowTM molecular platform by Abbott Rapid Diagnostics, giving patients quick access to their test results, and allowing for immediate consultation with their pharmacist.

● After the initial launch, the Company was pleased to announce further expansion of HealthTabTM with Rexall Pharmacy Group ULC ("Rexall"). The Companies have been working closely to develop the best patient approaches and internal workflows to ensure the most successful deployment of this powerful point-of-care testing platform.

5 \| P a g e

**Avricore Health Inc.**

Management's Discussion and Analysis

April 30, 2026

● The next steps with Rexall will be to deploy to a minimum of 20 other locations spread out between stores in Alberta and Ontario. After each deployment, the teams will collaborate to assess deployment workflow, refine processes and identify further deployment opportunities based on patient and pharmacist feedback.

● 19 HealthTabTM systems were operating in Rexall stores as of August 29, 2025; 12 in Ontario, 6 in Alberta and 1 is Saskatchewan.

● Avricore has partnered with Ascensia Diabetes Care to integrate their blood glucose monitoring systems, CONTOUR®NEXT GEN and CONTOUR®NEXT ONE, with Avricore's HealthTabTM platform. The collaboration aims to improve diabetes management for patients and pharmacists in Canada by linking daily blood glucose testing data to the patient's HealthTabTM account. This integration provides a more comprehensive health data tool for combating diabetes. Ongoing efforts to encourage patient engagement are active. Ascensia Diabetes Care is a global company focused on supporting people with diabetes and is a subsidiary of PHC Holdings Corporation.

**Canadian Healthcare Environment:**

● On January 10, 2025, Canada's Health Minister released an interpretation letter to provincial and territorial health plans noting that under the Canada Health Act, primary care provided by pharmacists, midwives and nurse practitioners can be covered by public insurance. This significant shift means not only more access to primary care without out-of-pocket expenses, but it provides a clearer format for provinces and territories considering expanding the scope of pharmacists and funding them that ensures the spirit and intent of the Canada Health Act is maintained. There is a deadline of April 1, 2026, listed as when each jurisdiction is to have a framework ready to implement. (<u>source</u>)

● The innovative practice of pharmacist-led primary healthcare clinics is expected to expand in Canada, as provinces struggle to meet the health care needs of their residents and recruit more family physicians. The program's primary focus is to screen patients at-risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease. On March 28<sup>th</sup>, 2023, the Government of Canada tabled its budget for the year ahead, including a 10-year funding agreement with the Nation's provinces to increase healthcare funding. That new funding approach was novel for the fact that each province has specific agreements in place, opposed to the more traditional generalized formula, which spent less in early intervention and prevention of disease. This approach is expected to bring substantial innovations related to healthcare data and new healthcare service delivery models, as the provinces agreed to make changes to rules and practices which have limited data-flow optimization and healthcare access.

● The Canadian Medical Association expressed support for many of the initiatives on March 30<sup>th</sup>, 2023, in relation to the healthcare agreement and encouraged government to institute recommendations from the *Addressing Canada's Health Workforce Crisis* report from the Standing Committee on Health. One of the key items they pointed to was "... *optimizing scopes of practice for health professionals*...".

● Most provinces have already begun expanding the scope of practice of their pharmacists, with 7 provinces allowing these healthcare professionals to prescribe for minor ailments and 8 provinces either allowing or will soon allow them to order and interpret lab results. HealthTabTM is uniquely situated to support the expanding scope of pharmacy practice.

● As of July 1<sup>st</sup>, 2022, the Government of Ontario brought into effect an expanded scope of practice for community pharmacists in the province, joining Alberta in this growing and increasingly popular approach. This includes limited prescribing for minor ailments, as well as the ability to perform certain point-of-care tests to assist patients with managing chronic disease. Approved tests include glucose, HbA1c and lipids, all of which HealthTabTM currently offers with the Abbott Afinion 2TM. Also announced as part of this plan in Ontario, is a second stage of scope modifications, which began on January 1, 2023. This stage allows for limited prescribing for minor ailments and certain prescription renewals, further enhancing the value of community pharmacy in direct patient care.

**Avricore Health Inc.**

Management's Discussion and Analysis

April 30, 2026

● These changes, and increasing demand, means Canadian pharmacy business is rapidly evolving before our eyes, from being product focused to care service focused. At $51.4 billion, the industry already represents a significant impact on healthcare, and the anticipated increase in funding and new service offerings, including point-of-care testing, will mean this practice will play an even more impactful role going forward.

● The 2023 "tripledemic" (Flu, RSV and Covid) strained the Canadian healthcare system beyond its breaking point, and 2024 has proven scientists' concerns about communicable infections have materialized. Pharmacy will play a key a role in these battles and confirmed tests results means faster responses, better treatment and less spread of these infectious diseases.

● While flu season strains pharmacies' capacity for chronic disease screening and management, having the ID Now™ means HealthTabTM can support pharmacies with confirmed molecular testing for virus detection during these critical months of the year and diversify the Company's revenues.

During the pilot with Shoppers Drug Mart®, over 15,000 HealthTabTM tests were completed for more than 6,900 patients. The data collected confirmed that the patients tested had a high prevalence of previously undiagnosed diabetes, pre-diabetes and heart disease and significant near-term risk for major health events. Almost 60 per cent of patients needed an intervention to better manage their chronic disease. On average, 31 percent received a new chronic medication, 28 percent required a change in their current medication, and 235 patients were newly identified as diabetic. Patients also reported in post surveys that they valued receiving this information from their pharmacists, and those pharmacists indicated that HealthTabTM enabled an increase in the value of services they were able to provide to their patients.

**Our Journey So Far**

2019 - Refocused the Company on HealthTabTM with the RASTR approach, emphasizing data generation and better patient outcomes. Began discussions with onsite testing and secured a tentative agreement. Faced financial challenges but placed new finance team in place and began funding and reorganization efforts.

2020 - Closed a $1M financing after significant effort, however the COVID-19 pandemic caused the loss of the onsite testing agreement. Used the pandemic period to negotiate down and clear debts. Began discussions with Abbott, leading to new opportunities with Shoppers Drug Mart (SDM). Launched the first Private Placement under the new team.

2021 - Successfully raised over $4M through two oversubscribed placements and options exercises. Conducted the first SDM pilot, driving expanded locations and business development momentum.

2022 - Scaled up HealthTabTM with SDM after a successful pilot, generating substantial revenues for the first time. Expanded the product line by adding ID NowTM for virus testing under the Abbott distribution agreement.

2023 - Achieved record revenues as HealthTabTM expanded to hundreds of new locations, including multi-device sites. Secured a partnership with Rexall and launched the first international opportunity through a UK feasibility study with Barts Heart Centre and HEART UK. Introduced glucose meter integration, enhancing patient insights.

2024 - Began the strategic shift into the UK pharmacy market while winding down the Shoppers Drug Mart partnership in Canada. The Company launched its first UK deployment in North East London community pharmacies in collaboration with Barts Health NHS Trust and UCLPartners, supported by increased NHS investment in pharmacy services, compelling health-economic evidence for cardiovascular screening, and a solid cash position to begin redeploying assets into the UK market.

2025 - Completed the UK pivot, establishing the Company's London head office, UK data infrastructure, NHS data integrations, and staging approximately 700 analyzers and supporting hardware for redeployment. HealthTabTM expanded across UK pilots in North East and North Central London, advanced into NHS secondary-prevention care pathways, and continued to grow in Canada through Rexall following the conclusion of Shoppers Drug Mart operations.

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:

The Company recorded a comprehensive loss of $1,858,840 for the year ended December 31, 2025 (2024 – $669,024).

Significant changes are as follows:

● Revenue decreased to $533,884 (2024 - $4,785,711) a 89% decrease due to the conclusion of the relationship with Shoppers Drug Mart. Gross profit amounted to $238,295 (2024 – $1,880,287) a 87% decrease. Gross margin or the period was 45% (2024 - 39%) due to the majority of sales coming from system fees and lower control and reagent sales.

● Recognized impairment of equipment and intangible assets of $493,544 (2024 - $772,174). With operations in the Shoppers Drug Mart locations in Canada having concluded as of March 31, 2025 the Company recognized an impairment of system analyzers, system hardware and some software that are currently not deployed. When the equipment is redeployed in future periods the impairment loss will be reversed and recognized in income.

● Share-based compensation of $280,677 (2024 - $541,164) was recognized for stock options issued and vested during the period.

● Consulting fees increased to $320,640 (2024 - $276,000) due to additional consultants engaged to assist with the U.K. expansion plan.

● Management fees decreased to $90,000 (2024 - $216,000) due to a departure of a former CEO in 2025.

For the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:

The Company recorded a comprehensive loss of $942,798 for the period ended December 31, 2025 (2024 – $712,518).

Significant changes are as follows:

● Revenue decreased to $33,451 (2024 - $1,421,076) a 98% decrease due to the conclusion of the relationship with Shoppers Drug Mart. Cost of sales of $40,758 (2024- $831,156) is predominantly comprised of amortization of system analyzers. The balance is attributed to cost of reagents and certain fixed system fees. Gross loss amounted to $7,307 (2024 – Gross profit of $589,930) a 101% decrease.

● Recognized impairment of equipment and intangible assets of 493,544 (2024 - $772,174).

**LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES**

The Company's operations have been financed through cash from operations and the issuance of common shares. We believe that our cash on hand, the expected future cash inflows from revenues, and cash savings from redeployment of devices to be sufficient to finance our working capital for the next twelve months. If our existing cash resources together with the cash we generate from the sales of our products and services are insufficient to fund our working capital and operational needs, we may need to sell additional equity or debt securities or seek additional financing through other arrangements.

**Avricore Health Inc.**

Management's Discussion and Analysis

April 30, 2026

There is an overall cash outflow of $904,474 for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the cash inflow of $855,821 in the comparable year in 2024.

**Funding Requirements**

Management devotes financial resources to the Company's operations, sales and commercialization efforts, regulatory approvals and business development. The Company will require cash to support working capital.

The future funding requirements will depend on many factors including:

● the extent to which we will be commercially successful in launching HealthTabTM in new markets,

● the size, cost and effectiveness of our sales and marketing programs, distribution and marketing arrangements,

● the redeployment of existing devices to new locations in Canada and the UK. Management estimates that the Company will not need to use cash to invest in devices for the next 12 to 18 months.

● the ability of the Company to raise capital through the issuance of its securities.

As at December 31, 2025, the Company had a working capital of $192,772 (2024 – $1,252,139) and $37,332 (2024 - $419,587) in receivables.

**RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS**

For the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded the following transactions with related parties:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) $21,600
 in office rent (2024 – $15,100) to a company controlled by the Chief Executive Officer
 of the Company.

b) $12,000
 in office rent (2024 – $12,000) to a company controlled by the Chief Financial Officer

 Officer of the Company. This amount is recorded under consulting fees.

**FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISKS**

**Operational Risk Factors**

***Limited Operating History***

 ****

There is no assurance that Avricore will earn profits in the future, or that profitability will be sustained. Operating in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry requires substantial financial resources, and there is no assurance that future revenues will be sufficient to generate the funds required to continue AVRICORE business development and marketing activities. In case AVRICORE does not have sufficient capital to fund its operations, the management may be required to restructure the operations.

***Going concern***

The assessment of the Company's ability to execute its strategy by funding future working capital requirements involves judgment. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern which assumes that the Company will continue in operations for the foreseeable future and be able to realize assets and satisfy liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has always experienced operating losses and negative operating cash flows. Operations have been funded by the issuance of share capital. These conditions may cast substantial doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

14 \| P a g e

**Avricore Health Inc.**

Management's Discussion and Analysis

April 30, 2026

***Development of Technological Capabilities***

The market for Avricore's products is characterized by changing technology and continuing process development. The future success of Company's business will depend in large part upon our ability to maintain and enhance the Company's technological capabilities, develop and market products and services which meet changing customer needs and successfully anticipate or respond to technological changes on a cost effective and timely basis. Although we believe that Company's operations provide the products and services currently required by our customers, there can be no assurance that the Company's process development efforts will be successful or that the emergence of new technologies, industry standards or customer requirements will not render Avricore's products or services uncompetitive. If Avricore needs new technologies and equipment to remain competitive, the development, acquisition and implementation of those technologies and equipment may require us to make significant capital investments.

***Dependence on Key Personnel***

We are dependent to a large extent upon the continued services of our senior management team and other key employees such as sales and technical personnel. There is intense competition for skilled employees and our failure to recruit, train and retain such employees could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

**Financial Instruments and Risk Management**

The Company's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and loans payable. The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to market conditions and the Company's activities. The Company has exposure to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk as a result of its use of financial instruments.

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework. The Board has implemented and monitors compliance with risk management policies.

***Credit risk***

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises primarily from the Company's cash and cash equivalents, term deposits and accounts receivable. The Company's cash and cash equivalents and term deposits are held through a large Canadian financial institution. The Company does not have financial assets that are invested in asset-backed commercial paper.

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its accounts receivable but does not require collateral. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the credit risk applicable to particular customers and historical data. Approximately 72% of trade receivables are due from one customer at December 31, 2025 (2024 – 97% from one customer).

***Liquidity risk***

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will incur difficulties meeting its financial obligations as they are due. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions without incurring unacceptable losses or risking harm to the Company's reputation.

The Company monitors its spending plans, repayment obligations and cash resources, and takes actions with the objective of ensuring that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term business requirements. To facilitate its expenditure program, the Company raises funds primarily through public equity financing. The Company anticipates it will have adequate liquidity to fund its financial liabilities through future equity contributions, however, there can be no guarantees that sufficient funds will be raised. As at December 31, 2025, the Company's liabilities $173,561 (2024 - $330,817) were comprised of accounts payable $172,521, and GST receivable $1,040 (2024 – $195,965, and $74,852, respectively).

***Currency risk***

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange rate risk mainly due to its operations in United Kingdom. The Company manages its risk by using accredited financial institutions to process its foreign currency transactions ensuring the market rate of foreign exchange.

***Interest rate risk***

Interest rate risk is the risk that fair values or future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. In respect of financial assets, the Company's policy is to invest cash at floating interest rates and cash reserves are to be maintained in cash equivalents in order to maintain liquidity, while achieving a satisfactory return for shareholders. The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk.

**OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS**

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, which would require disclosure.

Avricore Health Achieves Milestones and Outlines UK Expansion Roadmap for HealthTab™ Platform

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – (April 21, 2026) –**AVRICORE HEALTH INC.** (TSXV: AVCR) (the "**Company**" or "**Avricore**") announces HealthTab™ has now screened more than 3,500 patients in community pharmacies across North East and North Central London. During an initial one-month pilot of HbA1c testing for diabetes screening, the Company completed 2,295 HbA1c tests across 57 locations, achieving a monthly per-location average 10 times higher than previously achieved in Canada.

**Expansion Roadmap**

The Company has published "**The Path Forward**," a strategic update outlining the Company's UK expansion strategy for its HealthTab point-of-care testing platform. The presentation is now available on the Company's website at <u>avricore.com/investor-kit</u>.

The update outlines Avricore's progression from NHS-linked pilot programmes in London toward broader regional and national expansion across England, supported by clinical outcomes, independent evaluation, and growing institutional support.

**UK Programme Milestones**

HealthTab has gained meaningful traction within the NHS, including the screening of more than 3,500 patients in community pharmacies across North East and North Central London through a collaboration with Barts Health NHS Trust. In an initial lipid-screening cohort of 556 patients, approximately one in five was identified as having elevated cardiovascular risk.

The programme has been independently evaluated by <u>UCLPartners</u> and has received attention from NHS England's Chief Pharmaceutical Officer, as well as coverage by <u>BBC National News</u>. In addition, the British Heart Foundation, awarded a $385,000 grant to Barts Health, supporting an Inclisiran secondary-prevention pilot within the pharmacy network featuring HealthTab.

**Expanding Test Menu and Revenue Model**

HealthTab is continuing to expand its test menu within the NHS network. HbA1c testing for diabetes screening launched in Q1 2026, and UACR kidney function testing is planned for Q3 2026. In the first month of HbA1c availability, the network completed 2,295 tests in total across 57 pilot locations, approaching the ~3,000 tests per month average previously achieved across more than 700 locations in Canada.

The Company expects current pilots to expand to more than 100 pharmacy sites in Q2 2026, with monthly subscription revenue expected to begin in the second half of 2026.

The Path Forward presentation also outlines a phased growth roadmap targeting 500 or more active UK locations by mid-2027, within a longer-term addressable market of more than 10,000 community pharmacies across 42 NHS England integrated care boards. The Company currently has 700 analyzers staged and available for deployment from its London office.

**Strategic Context**

Avricore reported 2024 revenue of $4.79 million, representing 37% year-over-year growth, alongside 56% gross profit growth. 2025 was a transition year, during which the Company shifted its focus to the UK NHS market. The Company is now focused on scaling its UK platform through NHS commissioning pathways and is targeting a return to profitability by Q3 2027.

Beginning in September 2026, all newly qualified pharmacists in England will graduate as independent prescribers, a regulatory shift that further strengthens the clinical role of community pharmacy and supports the broader adoption of point-of-care testing infrastructure such as HealthTab.

Shareholders and prospective investors are encouraged to review the <u>full presentation</u>.
