Supplemental cash flow information (Note 15)

**Avricore Health Inc.** 

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

*(Unaudited - 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 OTCIQ Market as "NUVPF". 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 condensed interim 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.

The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate revenue from its operations, or raise additional financing to cover ongoing cash requirements. The condensed interim 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.

Deficit

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") a global pandemic. Since then, several measures have been implemented in Canada and the rest of the world in response to the increased impact from COVID-19. The Company continues to operate the business forward at this time. While the impact of COVID-19 is expected to be temporary, the current circumstances are dynamic and the impacts of COVID-19 on the Company's operations, including the duration and impact on the Company's future plans, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

 

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

**a)** **Statement of Compliance** 

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2022 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2021. The accounting policies followed in these interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in the Company's most recent annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

*(Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars)*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.** **BASIS OF PRESENTATION** (continued)

**a)** **Statement of Compliance** (continued)

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs, modified where applicable. The significant accounting policies are presented in Note 3 of the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 and have been consistently applied in each of the periods presented. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the Company's functional currency, unless other indicated.

The preparation of condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company's management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the condensed interim 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 below. 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.

**b)** **Basis of consolidation** 

Condensed interim 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 the condensed interim 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 condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled wholly owned subsidiary HealthTab™ Inc.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.** **SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

**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:

<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 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.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

*(Unaudited - Expressed in Canadian Dollars)*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.** **SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** (continued)

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

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. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and therefore the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable measure of the fair value of the Company's options and warrants issued. Management must also make significant judgments or assessments as to how financial assets and liabilities are categorized.

***Judgements***

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 have been met. Judgment may be required when allocating revenue or discounts on sales amongst the various elements in a sale involving multiple deliverables.

<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>

The Company's management has made an assessment of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and is satisfied that the Company has the resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future. The factors considered by management are disclosed in Note 1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.** **ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE** 

The Company's accounts receivable consists of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.** **SHARE CAPITAL** (continued)

**Share-based compensation**

Share-based compensation of $58,354 and $88,522 was recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 (2021 - $74,722 and $486,622), respectively, for stock options granted, vested, and repriced during the period. Options issued to directors and officers of the Company vested immediately, while those issued to consultants vest over one year, however, the Board may change such provisions at its discretion or as required on a grant-by-grant basis.

Share-based payments for options granted and repriced was measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | 2022 | 2021 |
| Expected life | 5 years | 5 years |
| Volatility | 139% - 153 | 134% - 146 |
| Dividend yield | 0% | 0% |
| Risk-free interest rate | 2.75% - 2.97 | 0.41% - 0.99 |

---

Option pricing models require the use of highly subjective estimates and assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Changes in the underlying assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**16.** **FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL 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.

This note presents information about the Company's exposure to each of the above risks and the Company's objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing these risks. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout the consolidated financial statements. 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.

**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 and accounts receivable. The Company's cash and cash equivalents are held through a large Canadian financial institution. The cash equivalent is composed of a guaranteed investment certificate and is issued by a Canadian bank with high investment-grade ratings. 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 96% of trade receivables are due from one customer at September 30, 2022 (2021 – 76% 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. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, liquidity risk has been assessed as high.

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 September 30, 2022, the Company's liabilities were comprised of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and loans payable of $337,018 (December 31, 2021 - $84,477).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**16.** **FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT** (continued)

**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. As all of the Company's purchases and sales are denominated in Canadian dollars, and it has no significant cash balances denominated in foreign currencies, the Company is not exposed to foreign currency risk at this time.

 **

***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.

**d)** **Fair value of financials instruments** 

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

Cash and cash equivalents are measured at fair value. For accounts receivable, accounts payable, and loans payable carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short-term maturity;

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.

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. The Company's lease liabilities are at this level.

Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability are not based on observable market data. Currently, the Company has no financial instruments at this level.

**17.** **SUBSEQUENT EVENTS** 

a) The
 Company issued 749,400 common shares upon exercise of warrants for gross proceeds of $149,880.

b) 21,333
 warrants with exercise price of $0.20 expired unexercised.

c) The
 Company issued 25,000 common shares upon exercise of options for gross proceeds of $2,500.

d) The
 Company granted 300,000 share options with an exercise price of $0.16, exercisable for 5
 years and vesting quarterly.

The HealthTab™ platform effectively turns pharmacies into community point-of-care diagnostic centres. It enables pharmacists to take on a greater role in primary health services, capitalizes on the rapidly growing point-of-care testing market, and ultimately improves the quality of life for patients living with chronic illness.

**COVID-19 RESPONSE**

In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, leading to an economic downturn. One year later the pandemic continues to severely impact the environment in which the Company operates.

One benefit is the increased focus on real world evaluations and rapid testing which has brought increased attention to HealthTab™. While continuing HealthTab's™ primary focus on general health screening it has also been adapted to support COVID-19 testing.

The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak impacts the Company's results will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the spread of the virus and government actions. Management continues to monitor the situation and adjust corporate planning as appropriate.

**HEALTHTAB™ – KEY DEVELOPMENTS**

Key developments have included:

● The Company is significantly expanding the number of Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacies offering its Healthtab™ point-of-care testing platform under a renewed Master Service Agreement (MSA) to up to 450 locations nation-wide. In addition to Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacies, this new MSA and corresponding Statement of Work (SOW) provides for affiliated locations under the Loblaw family of brands, to utilize Healthtab™ upon request.

● 166 HealthTab™ systems were operating in Shoppers Drug Mart® and Loblaw family stores including pharmacist walk-in clinics as of September 30, 2022, 144 in Ontario and 15 in British Columbia, 4 in Nova Scotia and 1 in New Brunswick. Additionally, the Company was honoured to have Healthtab™ placed in the first pharmacist-led primary healthcare clinic located in Lethbridge, Alberta. Not only was this the first clinic, it was also the first system placed in a Real Canadian Superstore®, as well as its first Alberta location.

● As of the date of this report 416 participating Shoppers Drug Mart® pharmacies and Loblaw family stores, have now received their HealthTab™ systems and are offering screening tests to patients. This innovative practice in healthcare delivery is expected to expand, as provinces struggle to recruit more family physicians. The program's primary focus is to screen patients at-risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease. In-store signage and print material will let customers know they are able to request HealthTab™ tests, and existing patients will be made aware through direct outreach from their Shoppers Drug Mart® or Real Canadian Superstore® pharmacist based on their health profile.

● 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 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 HealthTab™ currently offers with the Abbott Afinion 2™. Also announced as part of this plan in Ontario, is a second stage of scope modifications, which will begin on January 1, 2023. This stage allows for limited prescribing for minor ailments and certain prescription renewals, further enhancing the value of community pharmacy.

● During the pilot with Shoppers Drug Mart®, over 15,000 Healthtab™ 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 Healthtab™ enabled an increase in the value of services they were able to provide to their patients.

● Developed a quality assurance program with a third-part reference laboratory to offer HealthTab™ pharmacies industry leading validation for point-of-care instruments and test consumables.

● Signing of a non-exclusive, pilot supplier distribution agreement in Canada between HealthTab™ Inc., and Abbott, with respect to the handheld blood chemistry analyzer, i-STAT Alinity. The agreement allows HealthTab™ to distribute Abbott's point-of-care i-STAT Alinity and its associated tests for creatinine in Canadian pharmacies to better support patients with important information about their renal function.

● Amendment to the Distribution Agreement adds the Abbott's popular ID NOW™ molecular testing device which will add onsite testing and reporting capabilities for SARS-CoV-2 as well as Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), Influenza A & B and Streptococcus – a powerful combination for detecting infections before they spread.

● Partnered with Ellerca Health Inc. to offer joint diabetes screening and management support.

● Signing of a Distribution Agreement with Abbott Rapid Diagnostics, to integrate new devices into Avricore's HealthTab™ to expand its real-time data reporting system capabilities.

● Developing new pilot programs with national pharmacy chains,

● Continuing to negotiate new POC service integrations to expand the HealthTab™ testing menu.

● Refining HealthTab™'s de-centralized clinical trials capabilities to monetize de-identified data associated with high-value Real-World Evaluation (RWE).

● Moving forward with negotiations across several target demographics, domestically and internationally, with life-science companies, host-locations and Clinical Research Organizations (CRO).

HealthTab™ is a cloud-based network technology that enables the world's first harmonized, real-time response system where consumers receive a finger-stick blood test at their local pharmacy via a web-enabled clinical grade blood chemistry analyzer. These results are available in 12 minutes. Consumers' bio-markers, which include key results related to heart, liver and kidney function, are received via secure login which they can then use to better understand their health performance and share with their healthcare team for evidence-based decision making. This one-of-a-kind real-time reporting system opens the door to improved preventative healthcare in public and private health systems.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

as of November 29, 2022

De-identified data collected, with consumer consent across the HealthTab™ network of analyzers, can be shared with life-science companies and other research entities including the clinical research industry. The traditional clinical trial approach can be limited in the scope of time, demographical outreach, and other inherent exclusionary attributes. HealthTab™ presents a revolutionary model for utilizing the system's unique ability to offer real-time evaluations of treated populations and real-world evaluation clinical trials.

Between January and February 2020, the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions surveyed multiple leaders from 17 pharmaceutical companies on their organizations' RWE capabilities. Survey questions revolved around current and future applications for RWE, areas of investment, strategic partnerships, and use of Real World Data (RWD) and RWE in R&D.

● Ninety-four percent of survey respondents believe using RWE in R&D will become important or very important to their organizations by 2022.

● Almost all companies expect to increase investments in talent, technology, and external partnerships to strengthen their RWE capabilities.

● Reduced clinical trial costs and trial failure rates using RWE in R&D

● Entered strategic partnerships to access new sources of RWD (in fact, all have taken this step)

The Company believes is very well positioned as a strategic partner and lead in this exciting growth sector. In addition, HealthTab™ is ideally situated to provide Real Time Real World Data (RTRWD). This is an important distinction from RWD because anonymized data can be transmitted in real time versus the lag that is accompanied with RWD that is gathered from clinical reporting systems, insurance claims and adverse event reporting systems.

Currently, HealthTab™ is available in certain Shoppers Drug Marts in Ontario and BC. The Company has secured commitments with other pharmacies in Canada to place additional HealthTab™ systems and is in negotiations with corporate chains. Furthermore, the Company expanded a partnership agreement with the Ontario Pharmacists Association (OPA) to endorse HealthTab™ to pharmacies conducting COVID-19 testing and government for real-time reporting of test results. The OPA is the largest pharmacists' association in the country, with over 10,000 members and over 4,600 community pharmacy locations.

HealthTab™ is being embraced as it is the most credible way to deploy point-of-care testing in the pharmacy and community setting where it offers the reliability, accuracy and flexibility the sector needs. Avricore has enjoyed a robust response from a variety of key industry players including, CROs, labs, pharmacies and researchers and has been engaging in a variety of technical discussions which are anticipated to lead to business.

As conversations progress, the Company will be making announcements in due course.

**Fully Integrated Patient Health Records** 

The Company has been in technical discussions on the integration of HealthTab™ into the electronic medical records and pharmacy management systems with a Canadian market leader in the provision of these systems.

HealthTab™'s API integration capabilities make it ideal to achieve an industry first, where a consumer's test results can be directly linked to their patient health record, for real-time responses and smooth integration across the multiple platforms a health provider will use.

**Community Pharmacy Sector**

In an era of rapid change in health care delivery, community pharmacy practice models and community pharmacy business models are both experiencing significant evolution in focus and daunting challenges to be met. We strongly believe that Avricore is a game-changing catalyst for community pharmacy to meet their practice and business challenges and increasingly focus on patient-centred cognitive services with attendant point-of-care testing in the future. Avricore is focused on expanding and further deploying its HealthTab™ and to best meet the current community pharmacy sector's needs.

**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 HealthTab™,

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

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

As at September 30, 2022, the Company had a working capital of $964,327 (December 31, 2021 – $2,074,533). We believe that our cash on hand, the expected future cash inflows from revenues, net proceeds from the warrants exercised, if any, may be sufficient to finance our working capital within the next twelve months. If our existing cash resources together with the cash we generate from the sales of our products are insufficient to fund our working capital, operational needs, we may need to sell additional equity or debt securities or seek additional financing through other arrangements.

**RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS**

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded the following transactions with related parties:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) $45,500

**CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES**

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS. These accounting principles require the Company's management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements. 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Significant areas requiring management estimates include accounting for amounts recorded in connection recoverability of inventories, reporting of revenue recognition, bad debt and doubtful accounts, income taxes, accounting for stock-based compensation expense, and commitments and contingencies.

The significant accounting policies that we believe are the most critical in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include revenue recognition, stock-based compensation and fair value measurements of financial instruments. These and other significant accounting policies are described more fully in Note 2 and 3 of our annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 **

***Revenue recognition***

 **

The Company's revenues are generated from operating leases of the POC system and sale of testing panels. Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and it 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 client;

● 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 clients 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.

11 \| P a g e

**Avricore Health Inc.**

Management's Discussion and Analysis

as of November 29, 2022

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 clients after invoicing within the normal 28-day commercial terms. If a client is specifically identified as a credit risk, recognition of revenue is stopped except to the extent of fees that have already been collected.

***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. Sharebased 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.

**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 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.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

as of November 29, 2022

 **

***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 and accounts receivable. The Company's cash and cash equivalents are held through a large Canadian financial institution. The cash equivalent is composed of a guaranteed investment certificate and is issued by a Canadian bank with high investment-grade ratings. 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 96% of trade receivables are due from one customer at September 30, 2022 (December 31, 2021 – 76% 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.

13 \| P a g e

**Avricore Health Inc.**

Management's Discussion and Analysis

as of November 29, 2022

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, liquidity risk has been assessed as high. 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 September 30, 2022, the Company's liabilities were comprised of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and loans payable of $337,018 (2021 - $84,477).

***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. As all of the Company's purchases and sales are denominated in Canadian dollars, and it has no significant cash balances denominated in foreign currencies, the Company is not exposed to foreign currency risk at this time.

***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.

**HEALTHTAB™ – KEY DEVELOPMENTS**

Key developments have included:

● 166 HealthTab™ systems were operating in Shoppers Drug Mart® and Loblaw family stores including pharmacist walk-in clinics as of September 30, 2022, 144 in Ontario and 15 in British Columbia, 4 in Nova Scotia and 1 in New Brunswick. Additionally, the Company was honoured to have Healthtab™ placed in the first pharmacist-led primary healthcare clinic located in Lethbridge, Alberta. Not only was this the first clinic, it was also the first system placed in a Real Canadian Superstore®, as well as its first Alberta location.

● As of the date of this report 416 participating Shoppers Drug Mart® pharmacies and Loblaw family stores, have now received their HealthTab™ systems and are offering screening tests to patients. This innovative practice in healthcare delivery is expected to expand, as provinces struggle to recruit more family physicians. The program's primary focus is to screen patients at-risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease. In-store signage and print material will let customers know they are able to request HealthTab™ tests, and existing patients will be made aware through direct outreach from their Shoppers Drug Mart® or Real Canadian Superstore® pharmacist based on their health profile.

● 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 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 HealthTab™ currently offers with the Abbott Afinion 2™. Also announced as part of this plan in Ontario, is a second stage of scope modifications, which will begin on January 1, 2023.

● On September 29<sup>th</sup> the BC Government announced significant changes to the scope of practice of community pharmacists with an implementation date expected in Spring 2023. While the current announcements covers some minor ailment prescribing power, extending prescription renewals and certain injections, the BC Ministry of Health is continuing to work with the BC College of Pharmacists on further moves which could align the province with others who have already allowed for more primary care services to be located in pharmacy, such as Alberta and Ontario.

● During the pilot with Shoppers Drug Mart®, over 15,000 HealthTab™ 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 percent 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 HealthTab™ enabled an increase in the value of services they were able to provide to their patients.

● Developed a quality assurance program with a third-party reference laboratory to offer HealthTab™ pharmacies industry leading validation for point-of-care instruments and test consumables.

● Developing new domestic pilot programs with national pharmacy chains.

● Developing international programs and securing supplier agreements.

● Evaluating wearable and evaluating continuous glucose monitoring integration.
