REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM |
Board of Directors and Shareholders
ImmunoPrecise Antibodies Ltd.
Opinion on the financial statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of ImmunoPrecise Antibodies Ltd. (a British Columbia limited company) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of April 30, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and 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 April 30, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for of the years then ended, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Going concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred operating losses since its inception, including $26.6 million for the year ended April 30, 2023, and as of that date, the Company had $8.3 million in cash on hand. Further, the Company believes it will need additional capital to finance its operations and strategic goals. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s 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 audit 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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the years ended April 30, 2023 and 2022
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
ImmunoPrecise Antibodies Ltd. (the "Company" or “IPA”) was incorporated under the laws of Alberta on November 22, 1983. The Company is listed on the NASDAQ Global Market (“Nasdaq”) under the trading ticker symbol “IPA.” The Company is a supplier of custom antibody discovery services. The address of the Company's corporate office is 3204 – 4464 Markham Street, Victoria, BC, Canada V8Z 7X8.
Going concern basis
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. The Company has incurred operating losses since its inception, including $26.6 million for the year ended April 30, 2023, and has accumulated a deficit of $73.1 million as of April 30, 2023. The Company had $8.4 million cash on hand as of April 30, 2023. The Company expects its cash on hand as of April 30, 2023 will be insufficient to fund the Company’s operations for at least one year from the date these financial statements are available to be issued. These conditions raise material uncertainties which cast significant doubt as to whether the Compnay will be able to continue as a going concern should it not be able to obtain financing necessary to fund its planned revenue growth and working capital requirements.
The Company will need to raise additional funds to finance its operations and strategic goals and there can be no assurances that sufficient funding, including adequate financing, will be available. The ability of the Company to arrange additional financing in the future depends in part on the prevailing capital market conditions and profitability of its operations. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient funds, reductions in expenditures will be required, and this may impact the future growth plans of the Company.
(a)Statement of compliance
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), and include the significant accounting policies as described in Note 3.
These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cashflow information.

Control is achieved when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with an entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. Intercompany balances, transactions and unrealized intercompany gains and losses are eliminated upon consolidation.
(d)Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of a company is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates. The presentation currency for a company is the currency in which the company chooses to present its financial statements. The presentation currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar.
Foreign currency translation
Entities whose functional currencies differ from the presentation currency are translated into Canadian dollars as follows: assets and liabilities – at the closing rate as at the reporting date, and income and expenses – at the average rate of the period. All resulting changes are recognized in other comprehensive income as cumulative translation differences.
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at exchange rates at the date of the transactions. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the functional currency exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. All gains and losses on translation of these foreign currency transactions are included in profit or loss.
When the Company disposes of its entire interest in a foreign operation, or loses control, joint control, or significant influence over a foreign operation, the foreign currency gains or losses accumulated in other comprehensive income related to the foreign operation are recognized in profit or loss. If an entity disposes of part of an interest in a foreign operation which remains a subsidiary, a proportionate amount of foreign currency gains or losses accumulated in other comprehensive income related to the subsidiary are reallocated between controlling and non-controlling interests.

3.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business combinations
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition model. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Company, liabilities incurred by the Company to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Company in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired, and the liabilities assumed are recognized at their fair value at the acquisition date. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognized immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.
When the consideration transferred by the Company in a business combination includes assets or liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the ‘measurement period’ (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from sale of antibodies and service agreements.
Sale of antibodies: Revenue from sale of antibodies is recognized when the terms of a contract with a customer have been satisfied. This occurs when:
• The control over the product has been transferred to the customer; and
• The product is received by the customer or transfer of title to the customer occurs upon shipment.
Following delivery, the customer bears the risks of obsolescence and loss in relation to the goods. Revenue is recognized based on the price specified in the contract, net of estimated sales discounts and returns.
Contract revenue:
Revenues from contracted services are generally recognized as the performance obligations are satisfied over time, and the related expenditures are incurred pursuant to the terms of the agreement. Contract revenue is recognized over time when the key milestones contained within the contract are satisfied and there is an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. For contracts with no enforceable right to payment when the contract is incomplete, contract revenue is recognized when the customers are satisfied with the service at the end of the contract and control of the product has been transferred to the customer.
Unbilled revenue and deferred revenue:
Amounts recognized as revenue in excess of billings are classified as unbilled revenue. Amounts received in advance of the performance of services are classified as deferred revenue.
Cost of sales:
Cost of sales includes materials, direct labor, and allocation of overhead including depreciation of lab equipment.

Financial instruments
Recognition and Classification
The Company recognizes a financial asset or financial liability on the statement of financial position when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
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 if the Company has opted to measure them at FVTPL.

| | Classification and measurement IFRS 9 |
Cash | | Amortized cost |
Amounts receivable | | Amortized cost |
Investment | | FVTPL |
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | | Amortized cost |
Convertible Debentures | | Amortized cost |
Deferred acquisition payments | | Amortized cost |
Measurement
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 profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Where management has opted to recognize a financial liability at FVTPL, any changes associated with the Company’s own credit risk will be recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).
Financial assets at FVTOCI:
Elected 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 recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).
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.
Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost:
The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. At each reporting date, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the twelve month expected credit losses.
Irrespective of the preceding policy, the Company always measures the loss allowance of trade receivables at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses.
The Company shall recognize in profit or loss, as an impairment gain or loss, the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized.

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
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. However, gains and losses on derecognition of financial assets classified as FVTOCI remain within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Financial liabilities:
The Company derecognizes financial liabilities only when its obligations under the financial liabilities are discharged, cancelled or expired. Generally, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash assets, is recognized in profit or loss.
Government assistance
The Company periodically applies for financial assistance under available government incentive programs. Government assistance relating to capital expenditures is reflected as a reduction of the cost of such assets. Government assistance relating to research and development expenditures is recorded as a reduction of current year's expenses when the related expenditures are incurred.
Government grant
The Company periodically applies for financial assistance under available government incentive programs. The grant is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to them and the grants will be received. All funds received as part of the grant or subsidies are reflected in grant and subsidy income.
Inventory
Inventory consists of supplies, parts and antibodies and is valued at the lower of weighted average cost and net realizable value. Costs include acquisition, freight and other directly attributable costs.
Equipment and leasehold improvements
Equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the following terms:
| | |
Asset | Basis | Term |
Lab equipment | Straight line | 5 years |
Furniture and equipment | Straight line | 5 years |
Computer hardware | Straight line | 2 years |
Computer software | Straight line | 1 year |
Building | Straight line | Remaining term of the property lease |
Automobile | Straight line | Remaining term of the automobile lease |
Leasehold improvements | Straight line | Shorter of useful life and remaining term of the lease plus the first renewal option |
The Company evaluates equipment and leasehold improvements for indications of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Impairment losses are immediately recognized in profit and loss.

Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalized development costs, are not capitalized and the related expenditure is reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. Amortization for intangible assets with finite lives is provided over the following terms:
| | |
Asset | Basis | Term |
Internally generated development costs | Straight line | 5 years |
Intellectual property | Straight line | 10 - 15 years |
Proprietary processes | Straight line | 5 years |
Certifications | Straight line | 1 year |
Customer list | Straight line | 2 years |
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not subject to amortization and an impairment test is performed annually or as events occur that could indicate impairment.
Goodwill is reported at cost less any impairment. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (“CGU”s). To test for impairment, goodwill is allocated to each of the Company’s CGUs, groups of CGUs, or an operating segment expected to benefit from the acquisition. Goodwill is tested by combining the carrying amounts of equipment and leasehold improvements, intangible assets and goodwill and comparing this to the recoverable amount. Fair value less costs of disposal is price to be received in an orderly transaction between market participants. Value in use is assessed using the present value of the expected future cash flows. Any excess of the carrying amount over the recoverable amount is recorded as impairment. Impairment charges, which are not tax affected, are recognized in profit or loss and are not reversed.
During the year ended April 30, 2023, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $2.5 million related to the BioStrand CGU. See Note 9 for more information.

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparison of their carrying amount to the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less costs of disposal or the value in use. Value in use is determined by the present value of the future cash flows from the asset. If the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount, then there is impairment. Where an impairment loss exists, the portion of the carrying amount exceeding the recoverable amount is recorded as an expense immediately. Assets that have been impaired in prior periods are tested for possible reversal of impairment whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the impairment has reversed. If the impairment has reversed, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount but not beyond the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior periods. The reversal is recognized in profit or loss immediately.
Income taxes
Income taxes are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income (loss), except where they relate to items recognized directly in equity, in which case the related taxes are recognized in equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the difference between the tax and accounting values of assets and liabilities and are calculated using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates for the periods in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of tax rate changes is recognized in profit or loss or equity, as applicable, in the period of substantive enactment. Current taxes receivable or payable are estimated on taxable income for the current year at the statutory tax rates enacted or substantively enacted.
Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits of the relevant entity or group of entities, in a particular jurisdiction, will be available against which the assets can be utilized. As an exception, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary differences arise from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction (other than in a business combination) that affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit.
Investment tax credits (“ITCs”) are accounted for as a reduction in the cost of the expense when there is reasonable assurance that such credits will be realized. These ITCs are used to reduce current income taxes payable.
Leases
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The liabilities for leases of right-of-use assets are recognized at the lease commencement date at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments are discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. At the commencement date, a right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which is comprised of the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any decommissioning and restoration costs, less any lease incentives received.
Each lease payment is allocated between repayment of the lease principal and interest. Interest on the lease liability in each period during the lease term is allocated to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the lease liability. Except where the costs are included in the carrying amount of another asset, the Company recognizes in profit or loss (a) the interest on a lease liability and (b) variable lease payments not included in the measurement of a lease liability in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs. The Company subsequently measures the right-of-use asset at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses; and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life or the lease term, except where the lease contains a bargain purchase option a right-of-use asset is depreciated over the asset’s useful life.

Research and development
Research and development cost is charged to the income statement in the period in which it is incurred. Property, plant and equipment used for research and development is capitalized and depreciated in accordance with the equipment and leasehold improvements policy.
Share capital
Equity instruments are contracts that give a residual interest in the net assets of the Company. The Company's common shares are classified as equity instruments.
Proceeds from unit placements are allocated between common shares and warrants issued based on the residual value method, with the common shares being valued first.
Share issuance costs
Costs directly identifiable with the raising of share capital financing are charged against share capital. Share issuance costs incurred in advance of share subscriptions are recorded as deferred assets. Share issuance costs related to uncompleted share subscriptions are charged to operations.
Share-based payments
Where equity-settled share options are awarded to employees, the fair value of the options at the date of grant is charged to profit or loss over the vesting period.
Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to profit or loss over the remaining vesting period.
Where equity instruments are granted to non-employees, they are recorded at the fair value of the goods or services received in profit or loss, unless they are related to the issuance of shares. Amounts related to the issuance of shares are recorded as a reduction of share capital.
When the value of goods or services received in exchange for the share-based payment cannot be reliably estimated, the fair value is measured by use of a valuation model. The expected life used in the model is adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioral considerations.
All equity-settled share-based payments are reflected in contributed surplus, until exercised. Upon exercise, shares are issued from treasury and the amount reflected in contributed surplus is credited to share capital, adjusted for any consideration paid.
Where a grant of options is cancelled or settled during the vesting period, excluding forfeitures when vesting conditions are not satisfied, the Company immediately accounts for the cancellation as an acceleration of vesting and recognizes the amount that otherwise would have been recognized for services received over the remainder of the vesting period. Any payment made to the employee on the cancellation is accounted for as the repurchase of an equity interest except to the extent the payment exceeds the fair value of the equity instrument granted, measured at the repurchase date. Any such excess is recognized as an expense.
Earnings (loss) per share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. In periods where a net loss is incurred, potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the loss per share calculation as the effect would be anti-dilutive and basic and diluted loss per common share is the same. In a profit year, under the treasury stock method, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used for the calculation of diluted earnings per share assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average price during the year.

4.ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Standards adopted
Onerous Contracts – Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (Amendments to IAS 37)
The amendments to IAS 37 specify which costs an entity includes in determining the cost of fulfilling a contract for the purpose of assessing whether the contract is onerous. Costs that relate directly to a contract can either be incremental costs of fulfilling contracts (an example would be direct labour, materials) or an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts (an example would be the allocation of the depreciation charge for an item of property, plant and equipment used in fulfilling the contract).
The Company adopted this standard effective May 1, 2022. The adoption of the amendment to IAS 37 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2023.
Standards not yet adopted
Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current (Amendments to IAS 1)
The amendments to IAS 1 provide a more general approach to the classification of liabilities based on the contractual arrangements in place at the reporting date.
These amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, which is our fiscal year ending April 30, 2025.
5.CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS required estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates and judgments. Estimates are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimate is revised.
Judgements
Business combinations
Acquisitions of a business are accounted for as a business combination if the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business in accordance with IFRS 3. Judgement is required to determine if the transaction meets the definition of a business combination.
During the year ended April 30, 2022, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of Idea Family BV, BioStrand BV, BioKey BV, and BioClue BV (collectively “BioStrand”), as detailed in Note 6. Management concluded that BioStrand met the definition of a business, and accounted for the transaction as a business combination.
The acquisition of BioStrand includes potential future earn-out payments dependent on the future profitability of the business. Judgement was required to determine whether the payments constitute an exchange for the business or are transactions separate from the business combination. The potential future earn-out payments to the selling shareholders of BioStrand will be accounted for separate from the business combination (see Note 18).
Impairments
For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (“CGU”s). Management applies judgement to determine CGUs. Each asset or CGU is evaluated every reporting period to determine whether there are any indicators of impairment. If any such indicators exist, which is often judgment based, a formal estimate of recoverable amount is performed and an impairment charge is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the years ended April 30, 2023 and 2022
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)
The Company performs a goodwill impairment test annually and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill acquired through business combinations has been allocated to three different CGUs, the Company’s Oss and Utrecht locations at IPA Europe, and BioStrand. The goodwill allocated to Oss, Utrecht, and BioStrand was $3.1 million, $4.7 million and $11.4 million, respectively, as at April 30, 2023. The goodwill allcoated to BioStrand includes an impairment charge during the year ended April 30, 2023 of $2.5 million (see Note 9).
Estimates
Business combinations
At acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recognized at their fair value. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition-date fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Estimates are required to determine the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and estimated fair values may vary from prices that would be achieved in an arm’s length transaction at the acquisition date (see Note 6).
Impairment of long-lived assets
The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU of assets is measured at the higher of fair value less costs of disposal or value in use. These determinations and their individual assumptions require that management make a decision based on the best available information at each reporting period. The estimates and assumptions are subject to risk and uncertainty; hence, there is the possibility that changes in circumstances will alter these projections, which may impact the recoverable amount of the assets. In such circumstances, some or all of the carrying value of the assets may be further impaired or the impairment charge reversed with the impact recorded in profit or loss.
The recoverable amount of each CGU was based on value in use, determined by discounting the future cash flows to be generated from the continuing use of the CGU. The cash flows were projected over a five-year period for the Company's Utrecht and Oss locations, and an eight-year period for BioStrand. The projections are based on past experience and actual operating results.
The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test in April 2023 and identified impairment of the BioStrand CGU. The values assigned to the key assumptions represented management’s assessment of future trends in the industry and were based on historical data from both internal and external sources. See Note 9 for details on the weighted average cost of capital used in the assesments of the three CGUs.
Useful life of intangible assets
Intangible assets are amortized based on estimated useful life less their estimated residual value. Significant assumptions are involved in the determination of useful life and residual values and no assurance can be given that the actual useful lives and residual values will not differ significantly from current assumptions. Actual useful life and residual values may vary depending on a number of factors including internal technical evaluation, attributes of the assets and experience with similar assets. Changes to these estimates may affect the carrying value of assets, net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) in future periods (see Note 8).
Share-based payments
Where equity-settled share options are awarded to employees, the fair value of the options at the date of grant is charged to profit and loss over the vesting period. The Company makes assumptions to determine the estimated forfeiture rate of the share options, and these estimates are reviewed at the end of each reporting period. Changes to these estimates may affect contributed surplus and net income (loss) (see Note 12).
Reclassification
For the period ended October 31, 2022, the Company changed the presentation of its expense analysis from the nature of expense method to the function of expense method. In accordance with IAS 1, the Company reclassified comparative amounts beginning with the period started May 1, 2021. The reclassification is intended to provide more relevant information about the activities of separate functions at the Company, along with increased comparability to industry peers.

6.ACQUISITION OF BIOSTRAND
On April 13, 2022, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of BioStrand B.V., BioKey B.V., BioClue B.V. and Idea Family B.V. (collectively “BioStrand”) on terms as follows:
€2.7 million (CAD $3.7 million) was paid in cash on closing;
4,077,774 common shares of the Company were issued on closing;
Deferred cash payment of €0.5 million (CAD $0.7 million) to be paid 90 days subsequent to closing; and
Deferred cash payment of €0.5 million (CAD $0.6 million) to be paid over 3 years on the anniversary of the closing date.
BioStrand focuses on technology in the field of bioinformatics and biotechnology related to the identification of characteristic biological sequences in proteins, RNA and DNA, and their different information layers, the development of a knowledgebase containing these characteristic biological sequences and information layers, and the use of this database to process biological sequences and compare processed biological sequences. The acquisition provides the Company with advanced omics capabilities to enhance its antibody discovery processes and offer multi-omics data analysis to its clients.
The transaction was accounted for as a business combination, as the operations of BioStrand meet the definition of a business. As the transaction was accounted for as a business combination, legal and consulting costs of $0.7 million and $0.1 million, respectively, were expensed during the year ended April 30, 2022. The goodwill resulting from the allocation of the purchase price to the total fair value of net assets will represent the sales growth potential and assembled workforce of BioStrand.
During the three months ended July 31, 2022, the Company recorded the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in connection with building and vehicle leases at BioStrand. During the three months ended October 31, 2022, the Company adjusted goodwill upon the finalization of the deferred cash payment paid 90 days subsequent to closing. Both adjustments occurred during the measurement period and were applied retrospectively. The Company has allocated the purchase price as follows:
| | | | |
(in thousands) | | $ | |
Cash | | | 4,985 | |
Common shares of the Company | | | 29,126 | |
Fair value of consideration | | | 34,111 | |

Deferred income tax liability | | | (7,212 | ) |
| | | 34,111 | |
The intellectual property assets are primarily comprised of acquired technology assets that are expected to have a useful life of 15 years.
The fair value of the 4,077,774 common shares issued ($29.1 million) was determined based on the Canadian dollar equivalent of the consideration required of €21.3 million pursuant to the share purchase agreement using the closing stock price at` the date of the acquisition. The common shares are subject to an escrow agreement, and will be released to the vendors on the following schedule: 15% one year after closing, 20% two years after closing, and 65% three years after closing.
The operating results for BioStrand have been recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss beginning on April 13, 2022, the effective date of control. During the year ended April 30, 2022, the Company recorded a net loss of $0.2 million related to BioStrand.

Impairment testing
For annual impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the following cash-generating units:
| | | | | | | | |
(in thousands) | | April 30, 2023 $ | | | April 30, 2022 $ | |
Oss | | | 3,109 | | | | 2,823 | |

BioStrand | | | 11,352 | | | | 12,535 | |
| | | 19,171 | | | | 19,635 | |
The recoverable amount of each cash-generating unit was based on value-in-use calculations, and determined using a five-year forecast for Utrecht and Oss and an eight-year forecast for BioStrand, followed by a terminal growth rate determined by management. The present value of the forecasted cash flows of each cash-generating unit is determined by applying a discount rate reflecting a current market assessment of the time value of money and risks specific to the cash-generating units. The recoverable amount, growth rate assumptions and discount rates for each cash-generating unit as at April 30, 2023 and 2023 are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Recoverable amount | | | Terminal growth rates | | | Discount rates | |
(in thousands) | | 2023 $ | | | 2022 $ | | | 2023 % | | | 2022 % | | | 2023 % | | | 2022 % | |

BioStrand | | | 31,546 | | | | — | | | | 2.5 | % | | | — | | | | 33.1 | % | | | — | |
The terminal growth rates reflect the average GDP growth rate of the Netherlands and Belgium. The discount rates reflect management’s assessment of market and specific risk of the cash-generating units. Both the Oss and Utrecht cash-generating units operate in the same region and are included in the same operating segment of the Company. The cash flow forecasts include a key management assumption that future profit margins will remain stable, and is based on previous performance of the cash-generating units. The assumption for future profit margins is based on management’s review of the prior three years of performance of the cash-generating units.
During the year ended April 30, 2023, the Compay recorded an impairment loss of $2.5 million for the BioStrand CGU. The loss was recorded as a reduction in goodwill. The primary factor for the impairment included a rise in the discount rate as compared to the prior year, along with a delay in expected cash flows in the forecast. The increased discount rate relates to increases in the forecast risk for the BioStrand CGU, increased economic risk, and increased global interest rates as compared to the prior year.

10.CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
On May 15, 2020, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement financing by issuing 10% convertible debentures (“New Debentures”) for total proceeds of $2.59 million. On May 27, 2020, the Company issued an additional $0.04 million of the 10% New Debentures. In total, the Company issued $2.6 million of the New Debentures. The New Debentures are unsecured, bear interest at a rate of 10% per year and payable at maturity. The maturity date is May 15, 2022 for $2.59 million of the New Debentures and May 22, 2022 for $0.04 million of the New Debentures. The principal amount of the New Debentures may be convertible, at the option of the holder, into units of the Company at a conversion price of $4.25 per share. The Company may force convert the principal amount of the New Debentures at $4.25 per share if the average closing price is equal to or greater than $7.50 for 20 trading days.
The fair value of the New Debentures at the time of issue was calculated as the discounted cash flows assuming a 15% effective interest rate. The fair value of the equity component was determined at the time of issue as the difference between the face value and the fair value of the New Debentures. On initial recognition, the Company bifurcated $2.4 million to the carrying value of the New Debentures and $0.2 million to the equity component.
Under the financing, the Company paid finder’s cash commissions totaling $0.08 million and incurred legal and filing fees of $0.03 million. The transaction costs were allocated pro-rata based on the carrying values of the New Debentures and the equity component, with $0.1 million allocated to the New Debentures and $0.01 million allocated to the equity component.

Right-of-use assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets with finite useful lives for impairment whenever circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. During the year ended April 30, 2022, a significant change in the planned use of a right-of-use asset related to leased office space indicated possible impairment of the asset. Due to the nature of the leased space, the Company determined the recoverable amount to be nominal, and recorded an impairment charge of $0.2 million in general & administrative expense, the full carrying value of the asset.
During the year ended April 30, 2023, the Company recorded a right-of-use asset of $6.2 million upon commencement of a new lease at the Utrecht, the Netherlands location. The lease includes an initial term of five years, and a renewal option for an additional five years. The Company has determined that it is reasonably certain to exercise the renewal option.

14.RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company. Key management consists of Dr. Jennifer Bath, President and CEO; Brad McConn, CFO; Dr. Stefan Lang, former Chief Business Officer; Dr. Ilse Roodink, Chief Scientific Officer; Lisa Helbling, former Chief Financial Officer, Dr. Yasmina Abdiche, former Chief Scientific Officer; and Directors of the Company. During the years ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, the compensation for key management is as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
(in thousands) | | 2023 $ | | | 2022 $ | |
Salaries and other short-term benefits | | | 2,632 | | | | 2,531 | |
Severance (included in salaries) | | | 183 | | | | 8 | |
Share-based payments | | | 986 | | | | 1,388 | |
Director compensation (included in salaries) | | | 335 | | | | 355 | |
| | | 4,136 | | | | 4,282 | |
At April 30, 2023, included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities is $0.9 million (April 30, 2022 - $0.4 million) due to related parties. The amounts payable are non-interest bearing and unsecured.
These transactions are in the normal course of operations and are measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties, unless otherwise noted.
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to ensure sufficient liquidity for operations and adequate funding for growth and capital expenditures while maintaining an efficient balance between debt and equity. The capital structure of the Company consists of shareholders’ equity of $60.6 million.
The Company makes adjustments to its capital structure upon approval from its Board of Directors, in light of economic conditions and the Company’s working capital requirements. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the year. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
The Company’s financial instruments include cash, amounts receivable, restricted cash, investment, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, debentures, loans payable, leases and deferred acquisition payments.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, by reference to the reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values.
Level 1 – applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3 – applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The fair value of investment is determined based on “Level 2” inputs as its value under the equity method was the best approximation of its fair value. As at April 30, 2023, the Company believes the carrying values of cash, amounts receivable, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, leases and deferred acquisition payments approximate their fair values because of their nature and relatively short maturity dates or durations.
