In June 2020, BetterLife effected a consolidation of its issued and outstanding common shares on a ten (10) old for one (1) new common share.  References to common shares in this report have been adjusted for the consolidation.  Exercise or conversion prices and the number of common shares issuable under any of the Company's outstanding warrants, restricted stock units, performance stock units and stock options have also been proportionately adjusted to reflect the consolidation.

Product Description and Target Disease

AP-001 is a topical formulation of recombinant human IFNa2b based on the patented Biphasix™ drug formulation technology. The Biphasix formulation allows stable cream formulation of IFNa2b and its delivery across the dermis/mucosa, with minimal systemic exposure. AP-001 is being developed to treat HPV induced CIN, the precursor to cervical neoplasia. In the USA, terminology is shifting from CIN classification to Squamous Intraepithelial Lesions. Low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (“LSIL”) is equivalent to CIN-1 and high grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (“HSIL”) encompasses both CIN-2 and CIN-3. Current treatments of HSIL are all based on invasive surgical procedures. These procedures all require medical professional administration, have procedure associated discomfort, and risks for complications including bleeding and future pregnancy complications. In addition, 10-30% of women will have persistence of HPV following the procedure so have a continued risk of cervical cancer. AP-001 is being developed to be a non-invasive, self-administered treatment for HSIL, with minimal side effects. IFNa2b is a potent cytokine that possesses antiviral, immunomodulating, and antiproliferative activities. Recombinant human IFNa2b in an injectable form (Intron® A, Merck and Co, formerly Schering Plough) is approved in the US for both anti-viral and anti-neoplastic indications. In most indications, Intron A is administered by intravenous (IV), intramuscular (IM) or subcutaneous (SC) route, which results in range of severe adverse events (AEs). Intron A has received approval for anogenital warts caused by HPV, demonstrating the activity of IFNa2b against this virus. Intron A is administered by intralesional injections for HPV-induced anogenital warts when administered by intralesional injection, limiting its use in this indication. Intralesional injections are painful and must be administered by a medical professional. Intron A has not been developed for treatment of HPV-induced CIN. In contrast to the IV, IM, SC or intralesional injections required for Intron A, AP-001 will be a topical formulation of IFNa2b for local intra-vaginal use. Completed human AP-001 Phase 1-2 trials have shown minimal local AEs, and no systemic presence of IFNa2b upon use of AP-001.

AP-002 is an organo-gallium complex whose drug substance is: tris (8-quinolinolato) gallium(III). The finished drug product is an enteric protected tablet for oral administration. Preclinical studies show that AP-002 has distinct direct anti-tumor activity as well as direct anti-osteoclast activity. The activity profile of AP-002 makes it a promising development candidate to potentially treat cancers which give rise to bone metastases, which include breast, lung and prostate cancers.

Altum’s current lead product AP-003, is a patent pending proprietary IFNa2b inhalation formulation. In recent studies IFNa2b has been shown to be effective in slowing SARS-CoV-2 viral replication. In the study published Friday May 15, 2020 in Frontiers of Immunology titled "Interferon-a2b Treatment for COVID-19", the authors examined the course of disease in a cohort of 77 individuals with confirmed COVID-19 admitted to Union Hospital, Tongii Medical College, Wuhan, China, between January 16 and February 20, 2020. To the knowledge of the authors the findings presented in the study were the first to suggest therapeutic efficacy of IFNa2b in COVID-19 disease. Altum is planning a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial of AP-003 in early stage COVID-19 patients to start in the near future.

Cautionary note:  The Company is not making any express or implied claims that Altum’s AP-003 or any other product has the ability to treat, eliminate, cure or contain the COVID-19 (or SARS-2 Coronavirus) at this time. Further, the safety and efficacy of Altum’s AP-003 are under investigation and market authorization has not yet been obtained.

Product Current Stage of Development

AP-001 has completed two HPV associated CIN clinical trials in Germany:

· Study IFN002: An open-label study in women with low grade cervical lesions (Munich IIW, III or IIID Pap smears) and a concurrent observational study of untreated subjects (Study HPV001).
· Study IFN005: An open-label safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and efficacy study in women with CIN 1 or CIN 2.

AP-001 has also completed an HPV associated anogenital wart clinical trial: Study IFN001: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in women with anogenital warts.

AP-001 is now entering a Phase 2b trial. This study will be a randomized double blinded placebo controlled trial in HSIL patients. The aim of the trial is to obtain optimal schedule, clinical efficacy and adverse events profile data. The trial is projected to start in the third quarter of 2021, pending sufficient financing to conduct the trials.

4

AP-002 is currently in its first in human clinical trial. This Phase 1-2 clinical trial is being conducted in the USA (NCT04143789), and started in October 2019. The objective of the Phase 1 portion of the trial is define the dosing and adverse events (AEs, side effects) profile of the compound when administered by itself (monotherapy). The patients receiving AP-002 in the Phase 1 portion are advanced or recurrent solid tumors for which there are no standard therapies. In the Phase 2 portion of the trial, selected tumor types will be treated with the objective to gain data on anti-tumor efficacy of AP-002 in these tumor types (advanced or recurrent breast, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or prostate cancers).

AP-003 is currently in preclinical development. An Altum proprietary recombinant human IFNa2b produced in E. coli is under development. An Altum proprietary IFNa2b formulation is also under development.

Product Current Regulatory Status, Development Strategy and Projected Timelines

The previously completed AP-001 Phase 1-2 trials were conducted using AP-001 which had IFNa2b provided by Merck under a supply agreement, which is now terminated. Altum is now manufacturing its own proprietary IFNa2b to be used in manufacturing of AP-001 for all future trials. AP-001 has an US Investigational New Drug (“IND”). The AP-001 IND is currently inactive. With AP-001 manufactured using Altum’s own IFNa2b, Altum plans to either reactivate the old AP-001 US IND or file a new IND under which the AP-001 Phase 2b will be conducted in US. The AP-001 Phase 2b trial is projected to start in the third quarter of 2021. The follow-on AP-001 Phase 3 could potentially start by 2022.

AP-002 has an active US IND, under which the current ongoing monotherapy Phase 1-2 is being conducted in the USA. Depending on the outcome of this trial and the data from any subsequent combination Phase 1b trials, the subsequent trials and registration strategy will be developed. The AP-001 monotherapy Phase 1 portion is projected to end by the second half of 2020. The Phase 2 portion is projected to end in the second half of 2021. The Phase 1b combination study could potentially be conducted alongside the Phase 2 portion of the monotherapy trial. All trials are currently planned to be conducted in USA (states to be determined) and Canada (Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia).

AP-003 is currently in preclinical stage of development. The manufacturing and formulation work is currently ongoing. A pre-IND discussion has been conducted with the US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for use of AP-003 inhalation in COVID-19. Based on FDA feedback, an inhalation GLP toxicology study in rats using AP-003, to be conducted in the second half of 2020, is under planning.  A healthy human volunteer study, to be conducted in Australia in the second half of 2020, is also under planning. As currently projected, the data from the healthy human volunteer study together with the GLP toxicology study will be used to file a CTA in Canada and IND in the US to conduct a randomized placebo controlled trial(s) in COVID-19 patients. The COVID-19 trial(s) are projected to start in the second quarter of 2021.

During the quarter ended October 31, 2018, the Company settled convertible debentures totaling $1,500,000 through the issuance of 3,750,000 units, with each unit consisting of one common share and one share purchase warrant.  Pursuant to this settlement, a loss on extinguishment of convertible debentures of $1,221,603 was recorded, which increased the net loss for the quarter ended October 31, 2018 as compared to other quarters during the year ended January 31, 2019.

Net loss for the quarter ended January 31, 2020 was significantly higher than other quarters during the year ended January 31, 2020.  During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company recorded losses on impairments of abandoned assets, equipment, intangible asset and loans receivable totaling $8,145,510.

The Company reported a net income for the quarter ended April 30, 2020.  During the three months ended April 30, 2020, BetterLife assigned Pivot Naturals to a third party pursuant to settlement of a legal matter.  As a result, the Company’s lease on 3595 Cadillac Avenue in California, U.S.A. was assigned, and lease obligations extinguished.  A gain on extinguishment of the lease liability totaling $1,474,092 is included in gain on abandonment of assets for the quarter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company manages its liquidity risk by reviewing, on an ongoing basis, its capital requirements and capital structure.  The Company makes adjustments to its capital structure in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of its assets.  To maintain or adjust its capital structure, BetterLife may issue new common shares or debenture, acquire or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash.  As of July 31, 2020, the Company believes it has adequate available liquidity to meet operating requirements and fund product development initiatives.  While the Company has incurred losses to date, with an accumulated deficit of $56,156,525 at July 31, 2020, management expects to continue to fund its development efforts through its access to public capital markets.  However, there can be no assurance, especially in light of the current global outbreak of COVID-19, that it will gain adequate market acceptance for its projects or be able to generate sufficient positive cash flow to achieve its business plans. Therefore, the Company is subject to risks including, but not limited to, its inability to raise additional funds through equity and/or debt financing to support ongoing operations. See “Risks and Uncertainties”.

Working Capital

The following table presents the Company’s working capital as at July 31, 2020 and January 31, 2020:

July 31,<br> <br>2020 January 31,<br> <br>2020

| Current assets | $ | 2,029,029 | $ | 3,480,538 |

| Current liabilities | | 1,017,819 | | 960,064 |

| Working capital | $ | 1,011,210 | $ | 2,520,474 |

Working capital decreased as compared to January 31, 2020.  The Company utilized its cash to fund its working capital as well as its progress towards the close of the Amalgamation with Altum.

Statements of Cash Flows

The following table presents the Company’s cash flows for the six months ended July 31, 2020 and 2019:

SIX MONTHS ENDED

| Net cash provided by (used in): | July 31,<br> <br>2020 | | | July 31,<br> <br>2019 | | |

| Operating activities | $ | (2,025,434 | ) | $ | (4,821,244 | ) |

| Investing activities | | (532,880 | ) | | (432,923 | ) |

| Financing activities | | 538,590 | | | 12,511,163 | |

| Effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash | | (3,139 | ) | | 10,742 | |

| (Decrease) increase in cash for the period | $ | (2,022,863 | ) | $ | 7,267,738 | |

Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended July 31, 2020 decreased from the comparable period as the Company made efforts to minimize expenditures and cash outflows amid the COVID-19 pandemic and as it worked towards closing of the Amalgamation.

Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended July 31, 2020 included an advancement of $434,005 by way of promissory notes receivable to Altum to fund clinical activities.  Cash used in investing activities also included $88,466 used to acquire patents to Solmic’s Micelle oral drug delivery technology.

During the six months ended July 31, 2020, the Company used $304,613 of cash in financing activities related to payments on its lease obligations.  The Company also received net proceeds from the close of the first tranche of private placement totaling $650,703 and received subscriptions totaling $192,500 for the next tranche of private placement, which closed in August 2020.  During the six months ended July 31, 2019, net cash provided by financing activities was $12,511,163, which consisted of $16,310,000 net proceeds from issuance of common shares and warrants, offset by lease payments, net repayment of a promissory note, a payment for its convertible debenture modification and repayment of convertible debenture.

Commitments and Contingencies

As at July 31, 2020, the Company is a lessee in a lease for 285-295 Kesmark Street in Quebec, Canada with expiry in April 2025 and annual fiscal minimum lease payments of approximately $236,000 to $634,000 over the next five (5) fiscal years.

11

In September 2019, BetterLife was served with a claim from Green Stream Botanicals Corp. for a finder’s fee in the amount of $600,000 in relation to the non-brokered private placement of $15 million that it closed in May 2019.  In July 2020, this claim was settled for $120,000.

In November 2019, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer filed an originating application with the Superior Court in the province of Quebec for damages stemming from a termination of employment.  The former Chief Executive Officer is seeking payment of amounts totaling approximately $1 million, exercisability of his stock options until the original expiry dates, issuance of 600,000 stock options and an order that the Company not issue further common shares.  The Company believes the claim is unfounded and intends to vigorously defend these claims.

In January 2020, an injunction was filed against the Company in the Superior Court of Quebec by Bio V Pharma Inc. (“BioV”) seeking provisional orders in respect of the premises sub-leased at 285 Kesmark Street and damages of approximately $395,000.  BetterLife and BioV have, without prejudice or admission, settled the provisional injunction portion of the application while reserving their respective rights on interlocutory injunction and on the merits of the application.

In September 2020, a judgement for a safeguard order was rendered against the Company in the Superior Court of Quebec by Olymbec Development Inc. (“Olymbec”) ordering the Company to pay the sum of $45,293, inclusive of GST and QST and representing monthly lease payment on the lease of 285-295 Kesmark Street from September 1, 2020 (September 2020 - paid), and to pay $67,939, representing 50% of the arrears lease due to Olymbec (paid).

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Financial Risks

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.  The Company’s cash is held through reputable financial institutions in Canada, U.S. and Liechtenstein.  The Company’s amounts receivable consists of receivables from its sub-lease of 285 Kesmark Street. The carrying amount of cash and amounts receivable represent the maximum exposure to credit risk.  As at July 31, 2020, this amounted to $1,363,682 (January 31, 2020 - $3,303,002).

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.  The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet is financial obligations as they come due.  The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure.  Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related parties and the current portion of lease liabilities are due within the current operating period.

Currency Risk

Currency risk is the risk of loss due to fluctuation of foreign exchange rates and the effects of these fluctuations on foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities.  A 5% change in exchange rates will decrease the Company’s loss by approximately $16,650.  The Company does not invest in derivatives to mitigate these risks.

12

Business Risks

The Company is exposed to a number of “Risk Factors”, which are summarized below:

· There is substantial doubt as to whether the Company will continue operations. If the Company discontinues operations, shareholders could lose their investment.
· BetterLife has incurred operating losses in each year since inception and may continue to incur substantial and increasing losses for the foreseeable future. The Company also has negative capital cash flows from operating activities. If the Company cannot generate sufficient revenues to operate profitably or with positive cash flow from operating activities, it may suspend or cease its operations.
· BetterLife will require substantial additional funds to complete its development and commercialization activities, and if such funds are not available, the Company may need to significantly curtail or cease operations.
· The Company’s inability to complete its development projects in a timely manner could have a material adverse effect of the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
· The Company may not commence or complete clinical testing for any of its prospective pharmaceutical products and the commercial value of any clinical study will depend significantly upon the Company’s choice of indication and patient population selection. If BetterLife is unable to commence or complete clinical testing or if it makes a poor choice in terms of clinical strategy, the Company may never achieve revenues.
· BetterLife will rely on third parties to conduct its research, development and manufacturing activities. If these third parties do not perform as contractually required, fail to meet the Company’s manufacturing requirements and applicable regulatory requirements or otherwise expected, the Company may not be able to commercialize its products, which may prevent the Company from becoming profitable.
· If BetterLife is unable to establish a sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure or enter into collaborations with partners to perform these functions, it may not be successful in commercializing its product candidates.
· BetterLife’s product candidates may never gain market acceptance, which could prevent the Company from generating revenues.
· BetterLife faces potential product liability exposure, and any claim brought against the Company may cause it to divert resources from normal operations or terminate selling, distributing and marketing any of its products. This may cause BetterLife to cease its operations as it relates to that product.
· BetterLife faces substantial competition in the cannabis industry, which could harm it business and ability to operate profitably.
· The manufacturing of all of BetterLife’s products will be subject to ongoing regulatory requirements, and may therefore be the subject of regulatory or enforcement action. The associated costs could prevent the Company from achieving its goals or becoming profitable.
13
· Since certain of the Company’s directors are located outside of Canada, shareholders may be limited in their ability to enforce Canadian civil actions against the Company’s directors for damages to the value of their investment.
· BetterLife plans to indemnify its directors and officers against liability to the Company and its security holders, and such indemnification could increase its operating costs.
· Not all jurisdictions allow for the sale of hemp-based products and those jurisdictions which allow it could reverse their position.
· The COVID-19 pandemic and related government responses could have a material and adverse effect on BetterLife’s business, financial condition and results of operations, as set out in greater detail below.

Risks Related to Infectious Diseases and Related Government Responses

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. The Company’s business and its financial condition may be adversely impacted by the effects of COVID-19 and other infectious diseases.

The extent to which COVID-19 and other infectious diseases may impact BetterLife’s business, operations, financial condition and the market for its securities will depend on future developments and government responses, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. These include the duration, severity and scope of the outbreak and the actions taken by governmental entities to address and mitigate the pandemic. The Company’s business and operations could be adversely affected by the continued global spread of COVID-19 and any government actions to slow the spread of the infectious disease.  Areas that may be impacted include, but without limitation, workforce productivity and health, disruptions to supply chains, limitations on travel and ability to successfully commercialize the Company’s product portfolios and deliver end products to customers.

Given the uncertainty and lack of predictability surrounding COVID-19, the Company is not able to predict the length and severity of impact to its business and operations.  As a result, risks associated with COVID-19 may impact key estimates and assumptions used in the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Risks Related to BetterLife’s Intellectual Property

· If BetterLife is unable to maintain and enforce its proprietary intellectual property rights, it may not be able to operate profitably.
· If BetterLife is the subject of an intellectual property infringement claim, the cost of participating in any litigation could cause the Company to go out of business.
· BetterLife may, in the future, be required to license patent rights from third-party owners in order to develop its products candidates. If BetterLife cannot obtain those licenses or if third party owners do not properly maintain or enforce the patents underlying such licenses, the Company may not be able to market or sell its planned products.
14

Risks Associated with BetterLife’s Securities

· Trading on the OTC Bulletin Board and the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) may be volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of the Company’s common shares and make it difficult for its shareholders to resell their shares.
· BetterLife’s common share is or may be considered a penny stock. Trading of BetterLife’s common shares may be restricted by the SEC’s penny stock regulations and FINRA’s sales practice requirements, which may limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell their shares.
· Shareholders will experience dilution or subordinated stockholder rights, privileges and preferences as a result of the Company’s financing efforts.
· BetterLife does not intend to pay dividends and there will thus be fewer ways in which shareholders are able to make a gain on their investment, if at all.

BetterLife has sought to identify what it believes to be the most significant risks to its business, but it cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can it guarantee that it has identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to BetterLife’s common shares.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN RELATED PARTIES

During the three and six months ended July 31, 2020, BetterLife entered into transactions and had outstanding balances with various related parties. The transactions with related parties are in the normal course of business.

Key Management Compensation

During the three and six months ended July 31, 2020, compensation of key management and directors, including former key management and directors, of the Company totaled $154,354 and $509,245 (three and six months ended July 31, 2019 - $345,518 and $711,986, respectively), and consisted of salaries, consulting fees, directors’ fees and share-based payments.  During the six months ended July 31, 2020, 200,000 stock options for a former officer was forfeited and 160,000 stock options were granted to directors and officers.  In August 2020, the Company issued 258,333 common shares to an officer of the Company and a director of a wholly-owned subsidiary pursuant to the vesting of restricted stock units.  Key management includes those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities, directly or indirectly, of the Company.

As at July 31, 2020, the Company owed $1,244 to key management and directors (January 31, 2020 - $16,647).

15

License and Lock-Up Agreements

On May 6, 2020, the Company entered into binding letter of intent to acquire worldwide rights (other than in Greater China, Japan and ASEAN countries) to commercialize and sell AP-003, a potential COVID-19 treatment, from Altum (the “Licensing Agreement”).  Altum is currently preparing protocol and application to conduct clinical trials in Australia. Under the terms of the Licensing Agreement, on closing the Company will issue 1,000,000 common shares to Altum and grant to Altum 500,000 warrants to acquire an equivalent number of common shares at a price of $1.90 per common share. The warrants will have a term of two years and are only exercisable upon successful completion of the clinical trials.  In addition, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, upon registration of the proposed product in a major market, the Company will pay $5,000,000 in cash to Altum and Altum will be entitled to a tiered royalty equal to 7% of net sales on the first US$50,000,000 in a calendar year and a reduced royalty equal to 5% of net sales in any calendar year that are in excess of US$50,000,000.  Closing is contingent on, among other things, the Company undertaking an equity financing of at least US$5,000,000 and Altum obtaining an exclusive license with respect to certain intellectual property from Canadian governmental research and technology organization.

On July 3, 2020, the Company signed an amalgamation agreement with Altum pursuant to which Altum will be amalgamated with 12167573 Canada Ltd.  On August 31, 2020, upon ratification of the Amalgamation by the Canadian Securities Exchange, the Amalgamation closed and the Company issued the following:  18,217,239 common shares to Altum shareholders, 856,880 stock options, with exercise prices ranging between $0.03 and US$2.47 and expiry dates between September 7, 2020 and February 28, 2023, and 252,595 share purchase warrants with exercise price of US$1.44 and expiring on August 6, 2022.  Neither the Company nor Altum has any further obligations under the Licensing Agreement.

Promissory Notes Receivables

On May 15, 2020, the Company issued a promissory note of US$200,000 to Altum, of which $254,005 (US$189,500) was advanced as at July 31, 2020, to advance on clinical activities related to the clinical trials.  The promissory note is due on the earlier of (i) August 31, 2020, (ii) the termination of the Licensing Agreement or (iii) the second business day following the date that the Company demands repayment.

On July 27, 2020, the Company issued a promissory note of $1,000,000 to Altum, of which $180,000 was advanced as at July 31, 2020, to advance on clinical activities related to the clinical trials.  The promissory note is due on the earlier of (i) September 15, 2020, (ii) the termination of the Licensing Agreement or (iii) the second business day following the date that the Company demands repayment.

If the License Agreement is completed in accordance with its terms, the promissory notes are non-interest bearing and the amounts outstanding shall offset (reduce) the amounts payable by the Company under the Licensing Agreement.  If the Licensing Agreement is not completed in accordance with its terms or if it is terminated,  Altum shall pay to the Company interest on the outstanding principal amount and on the amount of overdue interest thereon from time to time at the rate of 10% per annum.

On August 31, 2020, the Company completed the Amalgamation with Altum and Altum became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS

There are none.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Critical accounting estimates are estimates and assumptions made by management that may result in material adjustments to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. Critical estimates used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements include, among others, the fair values of share-based payments and the valuations of long-lived assets and lease liabilities.

Critical accounting judgments are accounting policies that have been identified as being complex or involving subjective judgments or assessments. Critical accounting judgments include the going concern assessment of the Company, the expected economic lives of and the estimated future operating results and net cash flows from long-lived assets, the determination of functional currencies of the Company and its subsidiaries, the determination of whether an acquisition is a business combination or an asset acquisition and the determination of incremental borrowing rates used in valuations of lease liabilities.

The global outbreak of COVID-19 has had a significant impact on businesses through the restrictions put in place by the Canadian and U.S. federal, provincial/state and municipal governments regarding travel, business operations and isolation/quarantine orders. At this time, it is unknown the extent of the impact the COVID-19 outbreak may have on the Company as this will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and that cannot be predicted with confidence. These uncertainties arise from the inability to predict the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, and the duration of the outbreak, including the duration of travel restrictions, business closures or disruptions, and quarantine/isolation measures that are currently, or may be put in place by Canada and other countries to fight the virus. While the extent of the impact is unknown, the Company anticipates this outbreak may cause reduced customer demand, supply chain disruptions, staff shortages, and increased government regulations, all of which may negatively impact the Company’s business and financial condition

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting Standards and Interpretations Adopted

IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements

IAS 1 sets out the overall requirements for financial statements, including how they should be structured, the minimum requirements for their content and overriding concepts such as going concern, the accrual basis of accounting and the current/non-current distinction. The standard requires a complete set of financial statements to comprise a statement of financial position, a statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, a statement of changes in equity and a statement of cash flows.

IAS 1 has been revised to incorporate a new definition of “material” and IAS 8 – Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors has been revised to refer to this new definition in IAS 1. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020. Earlier application is permitted.

As of February 1, 2020, the Company has adopted IAS 1.  The adoption of IAS 1 had no significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

17

IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors

IAS 8 is applied in selecting and applying accounting policies, accounting for changes in estimates and reflecting corrections of prior period errors. The standard requires compliance with any specific IAS applying to a transaction, event or condition, and provides guidance on developing accounting policies for other items that result in relevant and reliable information. Changes in accounting policies and corrections of errors are generally retrospectively accounted for, whereas changes in accounting estimates are generally accounted for on a prospective basis. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020. Earlier application is permitted.

As of February 1, 2020, the Company has adopted IAS 8. The adoption of IAS 8 had no significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS

In accordance with IFRS, financial assets are classified into one of the following categories: amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss. Cash and amounts receivable are classified as amortized cost.  Their carrying values approximate fair value due to their limited time to maturity and ability to convert them to cash in the normal course. Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at fair value through profit or loss.  The Company’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related parties are measured at amortized cost. Their carrying values also approximate fair value due to their short term maturities.

BetterLife 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 twelve month expected credit losses. The Company shall recognize in the condensed consolidated interim statements of income (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.

18

The Company classifies and discloses fair value measurements based on a three-level hierarchy:

a.   Level 1 – inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

b.   Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

c.   Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability are not based on observable market data.

The Company has determined the estimated fair values of its financial instruments based upon appropriate valuation methodologies.  At July 31, 2020 and January 31, 2020, cash was measured and recognized in the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position using Level 1 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.  At July 31, 2020 and January 31, 2020, there were no financial assets or liabilities measured and recognized in the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position at fair value that would have been categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy above.

BetterLife Pharma Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in British Columbia under the Business Corporations Act on June 10, 2002.The Company is a biopharmaceutical company engaged in the development and commercialization of patented, differentiated and premium quality nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

Any such adjustments could be material.At July 31, 2020, the Company has not earned any revenue and has an accumulated deficit of $56,156,525.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of the Company and its subsidiaries at the exchange rate in effect at the transaction date.  Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in other than the functional currency are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the financial position date.  The resulting exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in other than the functional currency that are measured at fair value are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value is determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in other than the functional currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of transaction.

Foreign operations

For consolidation purposes, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated to the presentation currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the financial position date.  The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to the presentation currency using the average rates of exchange during the period.  All resulting exchange differences are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) and accumulated in a separate component of shareholders’ equity, described as foreign currency translation adjustment.

(f) Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income or loss is the change in net assets arising from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Financial assets that are measured at FVOCI will have revaluation gains and losses included in other comprehensive income or loss until the asset is removed from the consolidated statement of financial position. Certain gains and losses on the translation of amounts between the functional and presentation currency of the Company are included in other comprehensive income or loss.

(g) Income (Loss) Per Share

The Company presents the basic and diluted earnings or loss per share data for its common shares, calculated by dividing the earnings or loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings or loss per share is determined by adjusting the earnings or loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares.

3. New Accounting Pronouncements

The following new accounting standards and interpretations have been adopted by the Company as of February 1, 2020.

(a) IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”)

IAS 1 sets out the overall requirements for financial statements, including how they should be structured, the minimum requirements for their content and overriding concepts such as going concern, the accrual basis of accounting and the current/non-current distinction. The standard requires a complete set of financial statements to comprise a statement of financial position, a statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, a statement of changes in equity and a statement of cash flows.

IAS 1 has been revised to incorporate a new definition of “material” and IAS 8 – Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors has been revised to refer to this new definition in IAS 1. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020. Earlier application is permitted.

As of February 1, 2020, the Company adopted IAS 1. The adoption of IAS 1 had no significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

(b) IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors (“IAS 8”)

IAS 8 is applied in selecting and applying accounting policies, accounting for changes in estimates and reflecting corrections of prior period errors. The standard requires compliance with any specific IAS applying to a transaction, event or condition, and provides guidance on developing accounting policies for other items that result in relevant and reliable information. Changes in accounting policies and corrections of errors are generally retrospectively accounted for, whereas changes in accounting estimates are generally accounted for on a prospective basis. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020. Earlier application is permitted.

As of February 1, 2020, the Company adopted IAS 8. The adoption of IAS 8 had no significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

4. Settlement and Asset Abandonment

On February 13, 2020, the Company signed a Settlement Agreement and Release Agreement (“Settlement Agreement”) with two of its former employees in Pivot Naturals, LLC (“Pivot Naturals”) to settle the following legal matters:

· A demand for arbitration filed by these former employees before the American Arbitration Association alleging claims for breach of the written employment contracts, fraud, illegal retaliation in violation of California’s whistleblower statute and tortious discharge in violation of public policy seeking, among other things, recovery of damages for breach of employment contracts, including recovery of severance amounts, damages for breach of alleged option rights, waiting time penalties, as well as other general and punitive damages on the tort claims; and

21. Fair Value Measurements

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are grouped into three levels of fair value hierarchy.  The three levels are defined based on the observability of the significant inputs to the measurement, as follows:

· Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
· Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and,
· Level 3: unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities.

The Company does not have any financial instruments measured using Level 3 inputs.  The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, promissory notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related parties are considered to be a reasonable approximation of fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

22. Management of Financial Risk

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain risks, including credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and currency risk.

(a) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.  The Company’s cash is held through reputable financial institutions in Canada, U.S. and Liechtenstein.  The Company’s amounts receivable consists of receivables from its sub-lease of 285 Kesmark Street (Note 12). The carrying amount of cash and amounts receivable represent the maximum exposure to credit risk.  As at July 31, 2020, this amounted to $1,363,682 (January 31, 2020 - $3,303,002).

(b) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.  The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk.

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet is financial obligations as they come due.  The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure (Note 23).  Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related parties and the current portion of lease liabilities are due within the current operating period.

(d) Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk of loss due to fluctuation of foreign exchange rates and the effects of these fluctuations on foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities.  A 5% change in exchange rates will decrease the Company’s loss by approximately $16,650.  The Company does not invest in derivatives to mitigate these risks.

23. Management of Capital

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue the dedevelopment and commercialization of patented, differentiated and premium quality nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals, and to maintain a flexible capital structure.  The Company considers its capital to be its shareholders’ equity.

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of its assets.  To maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new common shares or debenture, acquire or dispose of assets or adjust the amount of cash.

In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary depending on various factors, including successful capital deployment and general industry conditions.  In order to maximize ongoing development efforts, the Company does not pay out dividends. There are no external restrictions on the Company’s capital.
