Predictmedix Provides Business and Technology Development
Updates and Closes Final Tranche of Private Placement
Toronto, Ontario, November 1, 2022 - Predictmedix Inc. ("Predictmedix" or the "Company") (CSE: PMED) (OTCQB: PMEDF), an emerging provider of rapid health screening solutions powered by a proprietary artificial intelligence (AI), announces that it has closed the final tranche of its non-brokered private placement. Pursuant to the final tranche, the Company has issued 1,600,000 units (the "Units") at a price of $0.05 per unit to investors for gross proceeds of $80,000. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one-half of one (1//2) common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"), whereby each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share for a period of two years from closing at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. Net proceeds from the financing will be used for general operations (working capital) including business development and technology upgrades. All securities issued in connection with the financing are subject to a statutory hold period expiring four months and one day from the date of issuance of the securities.
Business and Technology Development Updates:
• Two (2) publications successfully peer-reviewed and accepted in scientific journals
o A NOVEL DEEP LEARNING TECHNIQUE FOR ALCOHOL IMPAIRMENT USING VISUAL AND ACOUSTIC FEATURES1
o NOVEL AI BASED APPROACH FOR HUMAN BODY TEMPERATURE EVALUATION USING INNER EYE CANTHUS LOCALIZATION FROM CAMERA FEED2
• Four (4) additional publications are currently under peer-review in scientific journals. In addition to Predictmedix's recently peer-reviewed publications for detecting impairment from alcohol and detecting body temperature, these four publications continue to validate the Company's technology to identify symptoms of infectious diseases, fatigue, key vitals, and the overall ability to screen for various parameters as part of Safe Entry's Fit for Duty screening.
• Peer-reviewed journals articles are an imperative piece to Predictmedix's scalability and technology and solution adoption plan. Predictmedix's academic publications must be scrutinized by experts in the same field and is necessary to ensure academic scientific quality - and having several accepted publications in scientific journals is a significant milestone for the Company's sales efforts and for its IP.

• Significant updates and upgrades to our AI algorithms from capturing data from subjects across US, Canada, Mexico, and India - making Safe Entry Stations more accurate, reliable, and faster.
• Over-the-air, automated updates that integrates most recent captured datasets from various customer sites globally. Safe Entry Stations will receive updated algorithmic models via over-the-air updates, automatically, in real time.
• New employee monitoring heatmap whereby respective managers can visualize data scanned for infectious diseases, impairment from cannabis and alcohol, extreme fatigue and exhaustion, and emotionally distressed states.
• Recurrent Neural Network noise filtering and other new features are now being used to manage voice signals, as part of the Speech Detection parameter of Safe Entry's Fit for Duty screening. This contributes to a higher accuracy reading for Safe Entry's Speech Detection parameter.
• Distribution of demonstration units with comprehensive Fit for Duty screening via the Company's distributor SBL Testing Technologies ("SBL"). SBL has begun deploying Safe Entry Stations to partners such as Probe IMT in South Africa, a leader in technology integration to the mining sector throughout Africa, and other leading players in key markets. Furthermore, SBL currently has more than a dozen distributors throughout North America in various stages of introducing Safe Entry to potential clients.
• Safe Entry demonstration units being deployed are for a series of Discovery Sessions, starting in Calgary and Vancouver beginning this month, and throughout North America in Q4 and onwards.

Admiral Bay Resources Inc. ("Admiral") was incorporated in British Columbia on September 3, 1987.
Effective September 23, 2019, Admiral was part of a three-cornered amalgamation among Admiral, 2693980 Ontario Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Admiral) and Cultivar Holdings Ltd.

Admiral completed the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding shares of Cultivar Holdings Ltd. by way of a three-cornered amalgamation, pursuant to which 2693980 Ontario Inc., amalgamated with Cultivar Holdings Ltd. Pursuant to the Transaction, each registered shareholder of Cultivar Holdings Ltd. received one (1) common share in the capital of the Admiral for each common share held, resulting in the issuance of an aggregate of 97,439,900 common shares to Cultivar Holdings Ltd. Shareholders. As part of the Transaction, warrants of Cultivar Holdings Ltd. were replaced with common share purchase warrants of Admiral.
At completion of the Transaction, Admiral changed its name to Cultivar Holdings Inc. (the "Company").

2. Basis of Presentation and Going Concern
Basis of Preparation
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments recorded at fair value. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information. The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar, which is also the Company's reporting currency.
Statement of Compliance
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements (the "Financial Statements") are unaudited and have been prepared on a condensed basis in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), using accounting policies of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements required by IFRS as issued by IASB and interpretations issued by IFRIC. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2022, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are based on accounting policies as described in the January 31, 2022 annual consolidated financial statements.
Basis of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries; Cultivar Holdings Ltd. and Cann from the date of acquisition. The Company has a 100% interest in Cann and in Cultivar Holdings Ltd. The Company had a 49% interest in CJA which was sold on March 27, 2020 (see note 5). All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.
Going Concern Assumption
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared using IFRS on a going concern basis, which presumes the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business, for the next fiscal year. At October 31, 2022, the Company had cash of $107,190, working capital deficit of $231,916 and an accumulated deficit of $7,158,692. The continuing operations of the Company are dependent on funding provided by equity investors. The Company intends to finance its future requirements through a combination of equity and/or debt issuance. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such financings or obtain them on favorable terms.
This uncertainty may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying value or presentation of assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. These adjustments could be material.

2. Basis of Presentation and Going Concern (Cont'd)
Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates
The preparation of these interim consolidated financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, shareholders' equity, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, as at the date of the financial statements, and expenses for the years reported.
Critical Judgements
The preparation of these interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements regarding the going concern of the Company (discussed above), as well as the determination of functional currency. The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which an entity operates and has been determined for each entity within the Company. The functional currency for the Company and its subsidiaries has been determined to be the Canadian dollar.
Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be significant.
Significant estimates made by management affecting the interim consolidated financial statements include:
Share-based payments
Estimating fair value for granted stock options requires determining the most appropriate valuation model which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the option, volatility, dividend yield, and rate of forfeitures and making assumptions about them.
Deferred tax assets & liabilities
The estimation of income taxes includes evaluating the recoverability of deferred tax assets and liabilities based on an assessment of the Company's ability to utilize the underlying future tax deductions against future taxable income prior to expiry of those deductions. Management assesses whether it is probable that some or all of the deferred income tax assets and liabilities will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets and liabilities is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income, which in turn is dependent upon the successful discovery, extraction, development and commercialization of mineral reserves. To the extent that management's assessment of the Company's ability to utilize future tax deductions changes, the Company would be required to recognize more or fewer deferred tax assets or liabilities, and deferred income tax provisions or recoveries could be affected.
Useful life of property and equipment
Property and equipment is depreciated over its estimated useful life. Estimated useful lives are determined based on current facts and past experience and takes into consideration the anticipated physical life of the asset, the potential for technological obsolescence, and regulations.

Useful life of intangible assets
The intangible asset is depreciated over its estimated useful life. Estimated useful lives are determined based on current facts and past experience and takes into consideration the anticipated life of the asset, the potential for technological obsolescence, and regulations.
COVID-19 Estimation Uncertainty
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company's business or ability to raise funds.
Approval of the interim consolidated financial statements
These interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on December 29, 2022.
3. Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies set out in the consolidated financial statements at January 31, 2022, have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

4. Acquisition
During the year ended January 31, 2020, the Company completed the following acquisition:
Effective September 23, 2019, the Company was part of a three-cornered amalgamation among the Company, 2693980 Ontario Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary) and Cultivar Holdings Ltd. (the "Transaction"). The result of the transaction was that Admiral acquired all the issued and outstanding securities of Cultivar Holdings Ltd. on the basis of one share of Admiral for each share of former Cultivar. All outstanding warrants to purchase former Cultivar shares were exchanged, on an equivalent basis, for warrants to purchase shares of the Company. At completion of the transaction, Admiral changed its name to Cultivar Holdings Inc. and former Cultivar was amalgamated into 2693980 Ontario Inc.
Under IFRS, this was considered a Reverse Merger and Recapitalization (commonly referred to as a Reverse Take Over or "RTO"). The Company issued 6,514,249 shares valued at $0.21 per share, with a total value of $1,367,992 for the acquisition.

5. Sale of interest in Cultivar JA Limited
On March 27, 2020, the Company entered into a sale agreement (the "Sale Agreement") with respect to its 49% interest in Cultivar JA Limited ("Cultivar JA"), which holds a provisional cannabis cultivation license in Jamaica.
Pursuant to the terms of the Sale Agreement, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Cultivar Holdings Ltd., agreed to sell its 49% interest in Cultivar JA and all related royalty interests to the principals of Cultivar JA in exchange for the principals of Cultivar JA agreeing to return and cancel 4,000,000 common shares of the Company owned by the principals. In addition, the principals also agreed to terminate their right to receive an additional 500,000 common shares of the Company which had been reserved for issuance upon Jamaica's Licensing Authority issuing final approval for Cultivar JA's license.

5. Sale of interest in Cultivar JA Limited (Cont'd)
The sale agreement constituted a discontinued operation involving the loss of control of Cultivar JA by the Company. A discontinued operation is a component of the Company's business that represents a separate major line of business or a geographical area of operations that has been disposed of or is held for sale. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or earlier if the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale. When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation the comparative statement of comprehensive loss and cash flow operation is re-presented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative period.
The sale agreement constituted a discontinued operation of the Company effective March 27, 2020. As a result, all the assets and liabilities of Cultivar JA have been removed from the statement of financial position of the Company. The cancellation of 4,000,000 shares of the Company have been valued at $540,000, being the fair value of the shares on the date of the sale transaction.
The expenses of Cultivar JA have been determined to be a discontinued operation by the Company, and as a result, have been disclosed separately on the statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss)

8. Intangible Assets
a) On July 21, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of MobileWellbeing ("MWB"), an innovative, feature rich, Telemedicine Remote Patient Monitoring platform that will integrate with the Company's Artificial Intelligence ("AI") driven rapid screening system for infectious diseases, including COVID-19.
The consideration for the purchase was satisfied by payment in cash for $25,000, issuance of 20,000 shares and additional 30,000 shares to be issued on the 90th day of close. Consideration paid in the form of equity instruments is being considered share- based payment within the scope of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment and this asset acquisition is fair valued for a total consideration for $78,000 at the point control was obtained.
The acquisition has contingent considerations and royalty payments on achievement of certain milestones. The Company shall pay royalty of 20 percent of gross sales from the first $2.5 million in sales generated exclusively from the MWB platform. In addition, the Company is obligated to issue an additional 200,000 common shares commencing with the release of the initial version of the MWB platforms to the market and achievement of sales related milestones.
Contingent consideration in an asset acquisition was discussed at the March 2016 IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) meeting. An accounting policy choice exists, therefore an entity may recognize a liability for the expected variable payments at the time control of the underlying asset is obtained or they may only recognize such a liability as the related activity that gives rise to the variability occurs. The Company has opted to recognize the liability only when the related activity that gives rise to the variability occurs.

10. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has established a stock option plan whereby officers, directors, employees and service providers may be granted options to purchase common shares at a fixed price. Vesting and expiry provisions are determined at the date of grant. The plan provides for the issuance of stock options to acquire up to 10% of the Company's issued and outstanding capital. The plan is a rolling plan as the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the grant of stock options will increase as the Company's issued and outstanding share capital increases.
Year ended January 31, 2022

14. Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company's accounts receivables and accounts payable, approximate carrying value, due to their short-term nature. The Company's cash is measured at fair value under the fair value hierarchy based on level one quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Financial risk management and objectives
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risk (including interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, and commodity price risk).
The Company thoroughly examines the various financial risks to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and likelihood of those risks. Where material, these risks are reviewed and monitored by the Board of Directors.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company is exposed to credit risk as during the period ended October 31, 2022, one customer represented 94% of the total revenue and represented 99% of the total accounts receivable.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have sufficient cash resources to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company's liquidity and operating results may be adversely affected if its access to the capital market is hindered, whether as a result of a downturn in stock market conditions generally or matters specific to the Company. The Company historically has generated cash flows primarily from its financing activities.
The Company manages its liquidity needs by carefully monitoring scheduled costs. Liquidity is measured in various time bands, on day to day and week-to-week basis, as well as on long term liquidity needs over 180 day to 360 day look out periods. Funding for long term liquidity needs is based on the ability of the Company to successfully complete private placements.
As at October 31, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $107,190 to settle current liabilities of $620,038.

14. Financial Instruments (Cont'd)
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, commodity and equity prices, and foreign exchange rates.
(a) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk.
(b) Price risk
The Company is not exposed to significant price risk as it does not possess investments in publicly traded securities.
(c) Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument denominated in a foreign currency will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. Effective sale of the Company's interest in Cultivar JA in March 2020, the Company has no exposure to any currency except Canadian dollars.
15. Capital Management
The Company considers its capital to be shareholders' equity, which is comprised of share capital and deficit, which as at October 31, 2022 totaled $329,720. The Company's capital structure is adjusted based on the funds available to the Company such that it may continue to seek new opportunities. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria, but rather relies on the expertise of management and other professionals to sustain future development of the business.
The sources of future funds presently available to the Company are through the sale of equity capital or debt of the Company. The ability of the Company to arrange such financing in the future will depend in part upon the prevailing capital market conditions as well as the business performance of the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to arrange additional financing, if needed, on terms satisfactory to the Company.
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital restrictions.
16. Business Segment and Concentration
The Company, through its subsidiaries, is currently focused on artificial intelligence ("AI") technologies which are targeting two specific areas: 1) workplace health and safety and 2) healthcare. All assets are located in Canada except property and equipment for $59,525 which is located in India.
During the nine months ended October 31, 2022, one customer represented 94% of the total revenue and represented 99% of the total accounts receivable.

CORPORATE OVERVIEW
History
Admiral Bay Resources Inc. ("Admiral") was incorporated in British Columbia on September 3, 1987.
Effective September 23, 2019, Admiral was part of a three-cornered amalgamation among Admiral, 2693980 Ontario Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Admiral) and Cultivar Holdings Ltd. (the "Transaction"). Admiral completed the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding shares of Cultivar Holdings Ltd. by way of a three-cornered amalgamation, pursuant to which 2693980 Ontario Inc., amalgamated with Cultivar Holdings Ltd. Pursuant to the Transaction, each registered shareholder of Cultivar Holdings Ltd. received one (1) common share in the capital of the Admiral for each common share held, resulting in the issuance of an aggregate of 97,439,900 common shares to Cultivar Holdings Ltd. Shareholders. As part of the Transaction, warrants of Cultivar Holdings Ltd. were replaced with common share purchase warrants of Admiral.
At completion of the Transaction, Admiral changed its name to Cultivar Holdings Inc. (the "Company" or "Predictmedix").
On April 9, 2020, the Company announced that it had completed its name change from "Cultivar Holdings Inc." to "Predictmedix Inc." (the "Name Change"). The CUSIP number assigned to the Company's common shares following the name change is CUSIP 74040L100 (ISIN CA74040L1004). In connection with the Name Change, the Company's trading symbol, as listed on the CSE and the OTCQB also changed from "CULT" to "PMED", and from "CVRHF" to "PMEDF", respectively.
On February 15, 2018, the Company had acquired a 49% interest in a newly incorporated Cultivar JA Limited, ("CJA") a corporation incorporated under the laws of Jamaica. The remaining 51% interest was owned by local Jamaican business partners. On March 27, 2020, the Company sold and discontinued its interests in CJA.
On July 16, 2018, the Company had acquired a 100% interest in a newly incorporated CannIP Holdings Inc. (formerly 2639745 Ontario Inc.) ("Cann") a corporation incorporated under the laws of the province of Ontario. Cann is engaged in the development of cosmetic and edible product lines, as well as investment in technology to detect the influence of cannabis on individuals. The Company did a one for one share exchange with Cann and issued 29,800,000 common shares to the shareholders of Cann. The Company's corporate head office is located at 77 King Street W, Suite 3000, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5K 1G8.
The Company's Business and Products
The Company's business is focused on developing artificial intelligence ("AI") powered technologies for general workplace health and safety, and for the health care industry. In particular, the Company has developed A technology for the identification and detection of infectious disease symptoms (including COVID-19), sometimes referred to in this Registration Statement as our Infectious Disease Symptom Screening Solutions ("IDSS") and marketed in North America under the name "Safe Entry System." In addition, the Company is developing AI powered products that address (1) detection of alcohol and/or cannabis impairment in individuals; (2) mental illness screening; and (3) remote patient monitoring and treatment plans, sometimes referred to herein as the Mobile Wellbeing product. The following is a description of our primary product, the IDSS, and the products under development.
|
Infectious Disease Symptom Screening Solutions ("IDSS") |
Our primary product that is being marketed and sold currently. All Canadian Display Company Ltd, an Ontario corporation doing business as "Juiceworks Exhibits" ("Juiceworks") is the constructor and selling agent for the Company's Safe Entry Systems in North America. An initial license fee is received by the Company from customers when a Safe Entry System is sold or leased by Juiceworks. The Company then will receive a recurring monthly licensing fee from customers. A formal agreement with Juiceworks covering exclusive fabrication rights and non-exclusive selling rights is under discussion but has not been completed as of the date of this statement. Outside of North America, the Company intends to market and sell the Safe Entry System directly, however, the Company may enter into arrangements with third parties similar to the arrangement with Juiceworks to cover other territories. As a screening system, our IDSS does not render conclusive diagnoses, nor can it identify asymptomatic cases. Rather, it can (and should) be used to identify persons who are more likely to test positive for certain infectious diseases and refer such persons to undergo a more definitive test, such as a rapid COVID test. Our IDSS marketing targets potential customers who may have to rapidly screen large numbers of people where it is not practical to diagnostically test all of them. Such a situation arises in many public events. In a place where large numbers of people are to be admitted to a common area, the IDSS could be used to identify individuals who are more likely to test positive and yield a smaller pool of individuals who could then undergo a rapid diagnostic test prior to admission.Our IDSS screening stations will be networked and will collect data on an entirely anonymous basis that will enhance the performance of our IDSS screening stations everywhere. Our AI technology incorporates machine learning techniques that enables the system to improve accuracy as additional data is available. |
|
Remote patient monitoring and treatment plans application, sometimes referred to herein as the Mobile Wellbeing product (the "Mobile Wellbeing App" |
This product was substantially developed by Mobile Wellbeing, a company that we acquired in July of 2020. The product is a telemedicine remote patient monitoring platform. We are currently adding additional modules to this platform that will enable us to use a patient's history and real time medical data, such as blood pressure or blood glucose level, to provide patients and their medical professionals with treatment plans for chronic disease management and in some cases lifesaving advance notice of when a patient should go to a hospital. This product will be marketed or sold by the Company once the modules are added to the platform. |
|
|
|
|
Impairment Detection Screening |
Our Impairment Detection Screening scanner is under development and is not being marketed or sold currently. The product incorporates the Company's proprietary AI technology and is being developed to detect cannabis and/or alcohol drug impairment in individuals. The product will be developed as a screening station that is capable of making a recommendation as to whether individuals passing through the screening station should undergo additional definitive testing.
|
|
Mental Health Screening
|
Our Mental Health Screening station is under development and is not being marketed or sold currently. The product will incorporate the Company's proprietary AI technology to detect behavioral and physiological indicators of mental illness such as depression, autism, ADHD and dementia. As a step in the screening process, persons would be asked to read a script while undergoing the scan that detects vocal qualities, vocal cadence and physiological factors such as blood flow in the face. The intended use for this product will be to screen for indicators of mental disorders and make recommendations as to whether individuals passing through the screening station should undergo additional evaluation. In this way, the system could be used as a triage tool at mental health centers, police stations or any setting where a preliminary mental health assessment is required, and mental health professionals are not readily available to perform an assessment or are over-taxed by an inflow of possible cases. This technology represents an ambitious application of the Company's AI technology and is in a developmental stage. A prototype is not expected prior to the second half of 2022 and may not be ready for public demonstration prior to 2023. |
Operations
We will license our software to two distinct markets; law enforcement agencies and a variety of industries that are concerned about infectious disease and impairment in the workplace such as manufacturing, mining, and aviation, as well as any public venues where large numbers of people gather.
The Company's AI powered technology utilizes multispectral imaging with a focus on visual spectral imaging along with infrared thermography to identify individuals exhibiting symptoms associated with infectious diseases. The AI technology monitors and identifies potential presence of infectious disease symptoms such as fatigue, headache, coughing, sneezing, blood flow, sweat gland activation, metabolism, fever along with other key determinant factors. The technology can be deployed using multispectral cameras in facilities where there is large movement of people. The data collected is brought into a central server / cloud for analysis and alerts are sent in case of a positive detection. Privacy concerns are addressed by using dedicated servers, access control, no video data storage - only processing being carried out by our technology. Furthermore, even the summarized frames lack any personal identifiers. Additionally, the information on the camera stays anonymous so we cannot map which camera it is. The technology has been further refined and assembled in a proprietary hardware configuration (patent pending) which can be deployed in any facility with an electricity and an internet connection. This is in form of gateway structures like metal detectors seen in facilities all over North America. In addition to the technology development and deployment in North America, the Company is exploring business development opportunities across the world.
The Company has also focused on strategic acquisitions to bolster the technology portfolio which will carry long term value to the shareholders of the company. As such, in June 2020, the Company also announced a strategic acquisition which is a major step towards turning its screening technologies into a complete enterprise solution. The company announced the acquisition of MobileWellbeing, an innovative, feature rich, Telemedicine Remote Patient Monitoring platform. The Company plans to integrate MobileWellbeing with its Artificial Intelligence driven rapid screening system for infectious diseases, including COVID-19, and its screening modules for impairment and mental illness. Notably, we expect to turn our screening solutions into enterprise solutions with back-end patient or employee return-to-work monitoring. Additionally, we expect that this acquisition will allow Predictmedix to enter the growing markets of telehealth and clinical trials. Furthermore, MobileWellbeing can be used for data collection, transmission, evaluation, notification and intervention at home or through kiosks that might be especially useful in Long Term Care and Retirement Community settings.
MobileWellbeing has demonstrated its value in multiple different programs over several years, and has shown benefits such as improved patient health, minimized the impact of chronic disease, and driven down the cost for care through remote monitoring. MobileWellbeing has a unique and robust set of features such as, Assisted Monitoring that allows for data collection, transmission, evaluation, notification and intervention at home or through kiosks that might be especially useful in Long Term Care and Retirement Community settings.
The Interactive Voice Response System also gives patients the accessibility to interact with the system without the need for internet connected devices. This is an important consideration given the breadth of population affected and for regions, sometimes remote, where connectivity remains a major issue. The MobileWellbeing platform's suite of features are uniquely applicable to multiple use cases that impact Predictmedix clientele. Workplaces of all sizes and sectors want their Human Resources ("HR") departments to monitor employee recovery during quarantine periods and manage their transition back to work while maintaining employee privacy. Healthcare providers will now have a very robust tool to be able to remotely manage all aspects of care, recovery, and support whilst protecting all parties from the dangers of further infection transmission.
A patient can be critically ill or is not in a condition to visit the hospital or a medical physician on a regular basis. Such restriction may result in the deterioration of health of the patient. For example, a patient may be bed ridden and perfectly in good health but requires necessary monitoring of their health condition. At the same time, the patient is also reluctant to go to the hospital. In another scenario, the patient may be in a critical condition and needs lifesaving treatment before the patient can reach the hospital. All these scenarios require a system that can automatically recommend and adapt to a treatment so that the both lifestyle management and/or prescriptive analytics can provide better health management to a patient.

In a supervised environment with 128 participants, the Company's proprietary AI technology demonstrated a 79-87% efficacy in identification of cannabis impairment and 76-92% efficacy in identification of alcohol impairment (depending on the amount of cannabis or alcohol consumed by the subject). Furthermore, the company also announced a North American clinical study for its cannabis and alcohol impairment screening technology. Building on the datasets and insights from previous research and studies, the company announced commencement of an additional clinical study in February 2022 with researchers and doctors at a North American hospital. If the study shows similar results, the hospital study will provide a third-party independent validation of the Company's impairment detection solution ahead of commercial launch. The data collected can be used by the Company to further fine-tune the AI algorithms. The results of the independently validated study will be published in a peer-reviewed medical journal. The Company has engaged an accredited consulting firm to assist the Company in seeking classification of the technology as a class II medical device in the US.
On January 26, 2022, the Company announced another North American clinical study for it's infectious disease screening technology. Predictmedix is providing one (1) Safe Entry Station to be used to screen staff to provide protection, and two (2) units to screen incoming patients along with collecting symptom data from COVID-19 positive patients, whom will be validated by PCR tests. The hospital study will provide a third-party independent validation of the Company's Infectious Diseases Detection Solution ahead of a commercial launch, fulfilling a prerequisite for certification with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The results of the study will be published in a peer-reviewed medical journal. Predictmedix has engaged an accredited consulting firm to assist the Company in seeking classification of the technology as a Class II Medical Device in the United States. Class II devices are FDA approved for the market through the Premarket Notification, or 510(k) process. The 510(k) process entails a complex application to the FDA, which demonstrates that a device is safe and effective by demonstrating that the device is equivalent to another device which is on the market. While individual aspects and features of the Safe Entry Station are comparable to FDA class II devices, it is important to note that the Safe Entry Station differs from other medical devices as it is assimilating multiple features and combining it with the artificial intelligence driven decision making, which has wide ranging applications in healthcare.
The clinical studies are critical for the company to move forward with full scale commercialization of its technology. Although, the company has successfully deployed its technology at tier 1 events across the globe and has received validation from the client, the third-party clinical validation will serve as the launching pad for global rollout and expansion of the technology.
On April 5, 2022, the company announced conclusion of an initial deployment of a Safe Entry Station at a major Las Vegas entertainment event through its partnership with Uptown Sports Marketing.

The Safe Entry Stations will be utilized to screen both guests and staff for signs and symptoms of infectious diseases such as COVID-19. This repeat commercial placement was secured through the Company's South Asia partner, Entertainment Bay, who focuses on serving the live event market and seeks high visibility event placements for the Safe Entry Station. Furthermore, on June 29th, the company announced that it has received a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI) from KaTron Defence Space and Simulation Technologies, a leading Turkish provider of simulation products and services for aviation and aerospace, for the deployment of eighty (80) Safe Entry Stations for their corporate headquarters in Ankara, Turkey along with international clients.
The LOI, reflecting subscription fees of at least USD$1.4 million per year (CAD$1.85 million at the current exchange rate), is pending receipt of publication of results from a clinical study in a peer reviewed publication before transitioning to a formal purchase order, the announcement of which is expected in the third quarter of 2022. The LOI covers the deployment of 80 Predictmedix Safe Entry Stations, which are used to power "Fit for Work" screening - a non-invasive, autonomous, non-biased, and cost-efficient workplace screening solution for countless industries around the globe. Fit for Work screening ensures workers are in an alert mental and physical state by screening for impairment from Cannabis and alcohol, extreme fatigue, and symptoms of infectious diseases, such as COVID-19.
At the same time, the company further refined their AI algorithms and on July 25th announced its accuracy rates for identifying Respiration Rate, Heart Rate, and Core Body Temperature as part of its Fit for Work screening solutions for industries across the Globe.
Building upon previously collected data from clinical sites and real-world deployments, Predictmedix validated its technology on 270 participants which included two clinical sites. Participants walked through Safe Entry and their vitals were identified using the AI algorithms of Safe Entry in conjunction with edge computing. Simultaneously, the same vitals were also collected using standard medical devices with which the data from Safe Entry could be compared and correlated with.
The results of the accuracy rates are as follows:
Identification of Respiration Rate: 98.38%
Identification of Core Body Temperature: 98.37%
Identification of Heart Rate: 85%
Following the exceptional accuracy rates, the Company has initiated the next phase of Third-Party Validation by creating manuscripts which will be sent for peer review to academic journals for publication. Additionally, the Company has made significant developments to their novel IP for the filing of the Company's patents.
On August 22, 2022, the Company announced that it closed the first tranche of a non-brokered private placement (the "First Tranche"). Pursuant to the First Tranche, the Company issued 8,300,000 units (the "Units") at a price of $0.05 per unit to investors for gross proceeds of $415,000. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one-half of one (1//2) common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"), whereby each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share for a period of two years from closing at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. Net proceeds from the First Tranche will be used for general operations (working capital) including business development and technology upgrades. All securities issued in connection with the First Tranche are subject to a statutory hold period expiring four months and one day from the date of issuance of the securities.
On November 7, the company announced that it has closed the final tranche of its non-brokered private placement. Pursuant to the final tranche, the Company has issued 1,600,000 units (the "Units") at a price of $0.05 per unit to investors for gross proceeds of $80,000. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one-half of one (1//2) common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"), whereby each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share for a period of two years from closing at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. Net proceeds from the financing will be used for general operations (working capital) including business development and technology upgrades. All securities issued in connection with the financing are subject to a statutory hold period expiring four months and one day from the date of issuance of the securities.

Sale of interest in Cultivar JA Limited
On March 27, 2020, the Company entered into a sale agreement (the "Sale Agreement") with respect to its 49% interest in Cultivar JA Limited ("Cultivar JA"), which holds a provisional cannabis cultivation license in Jamaica.
Pursuant to the terms of the Sale Agreement, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Cultivar Holdings Ltd., agreed to sell its 49% interest in Cultivar JA and all related royalty interests to the principals of Cultivar JA in exchange for the principals of Cultivar JA agreeing to return and cancel 4,000,000 common shares of the Company owned by the principals. In addition, the principals also agreed to terminate their right to receive an additional 500,000 common shares of the Company which had been reserved for issuance upon Jamaica's Licensing Authority issuing final approval for Cultivar JA's license.
The sale agreement constituted a discontinued operation involving the loss of control of Cultivar JA by the Company. A discontinued operation is a component of the Company's business that represents a separate major line of business or a geographical area of operations that has been disposed of or is held for sale. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or earlier if the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale. When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation the comparative statement of comprehensive loss and cash flow operation is re-presented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative period.
The sale agreement constituted a discontinued operation of the Company effective March 27, 2020. As a result, all the assets and liabilities of Cultivar JA have been removed from the statement of financial position of the Company. The cancellation of 4,000,000 shares of the Company have been valued at $540,000, being the fair value of the shares on the date of the sale transaction.
The expenses of Cultivar JA have been determined to be a discontinued operation by the Company, and as a result, have been disclosed separately on the statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss)

Intangible Assets
a) On July 21, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of MobileWellbeing ("MWB"), an innovative, feature rich, Telemedicine Remote Patient Monitoring platform that will integrate with the Company's Artificial Intelligence ("AI") driven rapid screening system for infectious diseases, including COVID-19.
The consideration for the purchase was satisfied by payment in cash for $25,000, issuance of 20,000 shares and additional 30,000 shares to be issued on the 90th day of close. Consideration paid in the form of equity instruments is being considered share- based payment within the scope of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment and this asset acquisition is fair valued for a total consideration for $78,000 at the point control was obtained.
The acquisition has contingent considerations and royalty payments on achievement of certain milestones. The Company shall pay royalty of 20 percent of gross sales from the first $2.5 million in sales generated exclusively from the MWB platform. In addition, the Company is obligated to issue an additional 200,000 common shares commencing with the release of the initial version of the MWB platforms to the market and achievement of sales related milestones.
Contingent consideration in an asset acquisition was discussed at the March 2016 IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) meeting. An accounting policy choice exists, therefore an entity may recognize a liability for the expected variable payments at the time control of the underlying asset is obtained or they may only recognize such a liability as the related activity that gives rise to the variability occurs. The Company has opted to recognize the liability only when the related activity that gives rise to the variability occurs.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Preparing financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the Company to select from possible alternative accounting principles. Estimates also affect classification and reported amounts for various assets, liabilities, equity balances, revenues and expenses. Prior estimates are revised as new information is obtained and are subject to change in future periods. Management believes the accounting policies and estimates used in preparing the consolidated financial statements are considered appropriate in the circumstances but are subject to numerous judgments and uncertainties inherent in the financial reporting process.
The preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements regarding the going concern of the Company, as well as the determination of functional currency. The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which an entity operates and has been determined for each entity within the Company. The functional currency for the Company and its subsidiary has been determined to be the Canadian dollar.
Income taxes - There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company recognizes liabilities based on the Company's current understanding of tax laws as applied to the Company's circumstances. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
Stock option valuation ‐ Issuances and grants of share options are valued using the fair value method. Management uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the fair value of options determined at grant date. Grants of options result in non-cash charges to expense and a corresponding credit to share-based payment reserves. Charges associated with granted options are recorded over the vesting period. Significant assumptions affecting valuation of options include the trading value of the Company's shares at the date of grant, the exercise price, the term allowed for exercise, a volatility factor relating to the Company's historical share price, forfeiture rates, dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate.
Useful life of property and equipment - Property and equipment is depreciated over its estimated useful life. Estimated useful lives are determined based on current facts and past experience and takes into consideration the anticipated physical life of the asset, potential for technological obsolescence, and regulations.
Useful life of intangible assets - The intangible asset is depreciated over its estimated useful life. Estimated useful lives are determined based on current facts and past experience and takes into consideration the anticipated life of the asset, the potential for technological obsolescence, and regulations.
COVID-19 Estimation Uncertainty
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company's business or ability to raise funds.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
The fair value of the Company's accounts receivables and accounts payable, approximate carrying value, due to their short-term nature. The Company's cash is measured at fair value under the fair value hierarchy based on level one quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Financial risk management and objectives
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risk (including interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, and commodity price risk).
The Company thoroughly examines the various financial risks to which it is exposed and assesses the impact and likelihood of those risks. Where material, these risks are reviewed and monitored by the Board of Directors.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company is exposed to credit risk as during the period ended October 31, 2022, one customer represented 94% of the total revenue and represented 99% of the total accounts receivable.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have sufficient cash resources to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company's liquidity and operating results may be adversely affected if its access to the capital market is hindered, whether as a result of a downturn in stock market conditions generally or matters specific to the Company. The Company historically has generated cash flows primarily from its financing activities.
The Company manages its liquidity needs by carefully monitoring scheduled costs. Liquidity is measured in various time bands, on day to day and week-to-week basis, as well as on long term liquidity needs over 180 day to 360 day look out periods. Funding for long term liquidity needs is based on the ability of the Company to successfully complete private placements.
As at October 31, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $107,190 to settle current liabilities of $620,038.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, commodity and equity prices, and foreign exchange rates.
(a) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk.
(b) Price risk
The Company is not exposed to significant price risk as it does not possess investments in publicly traded securities.
(c) Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument denominated in a foreign currency will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. Effective sale of the Company's interest in Cultivar JA in March 2020, the Company has no exposure to any currency except Canadian dollars.

b) Marketing fees paid to Companies owned by children of the CEO, relates to services for marketing, website development/support/maintenance as well as content creation services. In addition, services include providing operational and project management services.
BOARD PURPOSE AND FUNCTION
The directors and management of the parent company have experience operating in Canada and the United States and taking projects through to various stages of development. The Board's purpose is to ensure corporate governance, risk, strategy and shareholder interests are priorities at all times.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Effective July 1, 2022, the Company signed a two-year contract with a corporation owned and controlled by the CEO to pay monthly compensation of $10,000 for CEO services. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay monthly rent for $2,000 and an additional $1,500 for the use of a personal vehicle.
Effective July 1, 2022, the Company signed a two-year contract with a corporation owned and controlled by the COO to pay monthly compensation of $8,500 for COO services. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay an additional $1,500 for the use of a personal vehicle.
CONTROL AND PROCEDURES
The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for designing internal controls over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company's financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.
Based on this assessment, it was determined that certain weaknesses existed in internal controls over financial reporting. As indicative of many small companies, the lack of segregation of duties and effective risk assessment were identified as areas where weaknesses existed. The existence of these weaknesses is to be compensated for by senior management monitoring, which exists. The officers will continue to monitor very closely all financial activities of the Company and increase the level of supervision in key areas. It is important to note that this issue would also require the Company to hire additional staff in order to provide greater segregation of duties. Since the increased costs of such hiring could burden the Company's financial resources, management has chosen to disclose the potential risk in its filings and proceed with increased staffing only when the budgets and workload will enable the action. The Company has attempted to mitigate these weaknesses, through a combination of extensive and detailed review by the CFO of the financial accounting and reporting.
(a) The Company being a venture issuer, is not required to certify the design and evaluation of the Company's Disclosure Control and Procedures ("DC&P") and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting ("ICFR") and has not completed such an evaluation; and
(b) inherent limitations on the ability of the certifying officers to design and implement on a cost effective basis DC&P and ICFR for the issuer may result in additional risks to the quality, reliability, transparency and timeliness of interim and annual filings and other reports provided under securities legislation.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Company is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties due to the nature of its business and the present stage of development of its business. Current and potential investors should give special consideration to the risk factors involved, should the Company continue in the cannabis business.
Management
Dependence on Key Personnel, Contractors and Service Providers, shareholders of our Company rely on the good faith, experience and judgment of the Company's management and advisors in supervising and providing for the effective management of the business and the operations of the Company and in selecting and developing new investment and expansion opportunities. The Company may need to recruit additional qualified contractors and service providers to supplement existing management. The Company will be dependent on a relatively small number of key persons, the loss of any one of whom could have an adverse effect on the Company.
Value of Our Common Shares
The value of the Company's common shares could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to variations in and annual operating results, the success of the Company's business strategy, competition or other applicable regulations which may affect the business of the Company and other factors.
Impact of Covid-19
Since December 31, 2019, the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus, specially identified as "COVID-19" has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of the government and central bank interventions. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Corporation and its operating subsidiaries in future periods.
Additional Funding and Financing Risk
Additional funds will be required for future development. The source of future funds available to the Company is through the sale of additional equity capital or borrowing of funds. There is no assurance that such funding will be available to the Company. Furthermore, even if such financing is successfully completed, there can be no assurance that it will be obtained on terms favorable to the Company or will provide the Company with sufficient funds to meet its objectives, which may adversely affect the Company's business and financial position. In addition, any future equity financings by the Company may result in substantial dilution for existing shareholders.
Uninsured Hazards
The Company currently carries no insurance coverage. The potential costs that could be associated with any liabilities not covered by insurance or compliance with applicable laws and regulations may cause substantial delays and require significant capital outlays, adversely affecting the Company's financial position.
Conflicts of Interest
Certain Directors and Officers of the Company also serve as Directors and officers of other companies involved in development and production. Consequently, there exists the possibility that such Directors or Officers may be in a position of conflict of interest. Any decision made by such Directors or Officers involving the Company are made in accordance with their duties and obligations to deal fairly and in good faith with the Company and such other companies. In addition, such Directors will declare and refrain from voting on, any matter in which such Directors may have a material conflict of interest.
General Venture Company Risks
The common shares must be considered highly speculative due to the nature of the Company's business, the early stage of its deployment, its current financial position and ongoing requirements for capital. An investment in the common shares should only be considered by those persons who can afford a total loss of investment and is not suited to those investors who may need to dispose of their investment in a timely fashion. Investors should consult with their own professional advisors to assess the legal, financial and other aspects of an investment in common shares.
Uncertainty of Revenue Growth
There can be no assurance that the Company can generate substantial revenue growth, or that any revenue growth that is achieved can be sustained. Revenue growth that the Company has achieved or may achieve may not be indicative of future operating results. In addition, the Company may increase further its operating expenses in order to fund increase its sales and marketing efforts and increase its administrative resources in anticipation of future growth. To the extent that increases in such expenses precede or are not subsequently followed by increased revenues, the Company's business, operating results and financial condition will be materially adversely affected.
Marketing and Distribution Capabilities
In order to commercialize its technology, the Company must either acquire or develop an internal marketing and sales force with technical expertise and with supporting distribution capabilities or arrange for third parties to perform these services. In order to market certain of its products, the Company must either acquire or develop a sales and distribution infrastructure. In order to maximize sales of other products, the Company may determine that it needs to either acquire or develop a sales and distribution infrastructure. The acquisition or development of a sales and distribution infrastructure would require substantial resources, which may divert the attention of its management and key personnel and defer its product development and deployment efforts. To the extent that the Company enters into marketing and sales arrangements with other companies, its revenues will depend on the efforts of others. These efforts may not be successful. If the Company fails to develop substantial sales, marketing and distribution channels, or to enter into arrangements with third parties for those purposes, it will experience delays in product sales and incur increased costs.
Rapid Technological Development
The markets for the Company's products and services are characterized by rapidly changing technology and evolving industry standards, which could result in product obsolescence or short product life cycles. Accordingly, the Company's success is dependent upon its ability to anticipate technological changes in the industries it serves and to successfully identify, obtain, develop and market new products that satisfy evolving industry requirements. There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully develop new products or enhance and improve its existing products or that any new products and enhanced and improved existing products will achieve market acceptance. Further, there can be no assurance that competitors will not market products that have perceived advantages over the Company's products or which render the products currently sold by the Company obsolete or less marketable. Regardless of the Industry as a whole, the less lethal sector moves somewhat slower in the adaptation and integration of new products.
The Company must commit significant resources to developing new products before knowing whether its investments will result in products the market will accept. To remain competitive, the Company may be required to invest significantly greater resources then currently anticipated in research and development and product enhancement efforts and result in increased operating expenses.
Competition
The Company's industry is competitive and composed of many foreign companies. The Company expects to experience competition from competitors whom it expects to continue to improve their products and technologies. Competitors may announce and introduce new products, services or enhancements that better meet the needs of end-users or changing industry standards, or achieve greater market acceptance due to pricing, sales channels or other factors. Competitors may be able to respond more quickly than the Company to changes in end-user requirements and devote greater resources to the enhancement, promotion and sale of their products.
Intellectual Property
The Company's ability to compete effectively will depend, in part, on its ability to maintain the proprietary nature of its technology and manufacturing processes. Although the Company considers certain of its product designs as well as manufacturing processes involving certain of its products to be proprietary, patents or copyrights do not protect all design and manufacturing processes. The Company has adopted procedures to protect its intellectual property and maintain secrecy of its confidential business information and trade secrets. However, there can be no assurance that such procedures will afford complete protection of such intellectual property, confidential business information and trade secrets. There can be no assurance that the Company's competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to the Company's technology.
To protect the Company's intellectual property, it may become involved in litigation, which could result in substantial expenses, divert the attention of its management, cause significant delays and materially disrupt the conduct of its business.
Business Segment and Concentration
The Company, through its subsidiaries, is currently focused on artificial intelligence ("AI") technologies which are targeting two specific areas: 1) workplace health and safety and 2) healthcare. All assets are located in Canada except property and equipment for $59,525 which is located in India.
During the nine months ended October 31, 2022, one customer represented 94% of the total revenue and represented 99% of the total accounts receivable.
STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK
Our objective is to maximize the value of the Company for our shareholders and our strategy to obtain this result is to continually seek opportunities to participate in new ventures primarily in AI.

Predictmedix Provides Corporate Update on Key Technology
Milestones and Commercialization Outlook for 2023
TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / January 16, 2023 / Predictmedix Inc. ("Predictmedix" or the "Company") (CSE:PMED)(OTCQB:PMEDF), an emerging provider of rapid health screening solutions powered by a proprietary artificial intelligence (AI), today announced a corporate update providing key technology milestones and commercialization outlook for the 2023 calendar year.
"Since the beginning of 2022, Safe Entry has evolved into a complete solution for workplaces around the world, helping companies and organizations ensure the health and safety of their employees to minimize accidents and liability. Safe Entry started as an advanced screener for identifying symptoms of Covid-19, and then we began testing Safe Entry to identify signs of impairment from alcohol and cannabis. After numerous trade shows, demos, events, and client placements we realized the urgent demand from multiple industries for a complete solution to ensure employee health and safety. Safe Entry has now evolved into a Fit for Duty solution as we call it, identifying not only signs of infectious diseases and impairment, but also signs of extreme fatigue, key vitals, and other important metrics for identifying overall Fit for Duty readiness," stated Dr. Rahul Kushwah, Chief Operating Officer at Predictmedix.
"To date, we have successfully published four (4) peer-reviewed publications. Our peer-reviewed publications in scientific journals are crucial in our commercialization plan - as it adds credibility and validation for our Fit for Duty screening technology and also gives our customers confidence in using Safe Entry as a complete workplace solution for health and safety screening. With our strong technological pipeline, we believe Predictmedix is at a commercial-ready stage and able to meet the demand for Safe Entry's Fit for Duty solutions from our prospective customers".
Technology Milestones
Significant technology upgrades have been made to Safe Entry in 2022. Physically, several upgrades such as the camera units, sensors and chips, general materials to fabricate the Safe Entry Stations and the process of fabricating were made. We've received ample positive feedback on the current design of Safe Entry from prospective customers and industry leaders at events and placements.
Page 1 of 5
Technologically, Safe Entry has had a transformational year. Its accuracy levels, speed and connectivity, installation, troubleshooting, and user experience have improved tremendously. This was all possible through obtaining and testing key datasets from our hospital studies and other placements as well as constantly gaining partners and customer feedback to improve Safe Entry's overall user experience and effectiveness.
Along with the Company's peer-reviewed publications, Predictmedix's recently completed clinical studies with large hospital groups. This has successfully validated Safe Entry's vital screening technology of heart rate, respiratory rate, eye redness, and body temperature with exceptionally high accuracy rates. Another leap in the right direction as Safe Entry's Fit for Duty solutions to validate the technology and prove the efficacy of Safe Entry.
Additionally, Predictmedix has developed novel deep-learning techniques for identifying fatigue in individuals in workplace settings. The Company's recently published peer-reviewed journal highlights the efficacy of the technology, with an astonishing 91% accuracy that will continue to improve through Safe Entry's deep-learning models.
We strive to continuously add to our suite of technologies. In fact, we have recently begun deployments of Safe Entry in bars across India and have also engaged in a partnership with a University in Indonesia to collect even more data for Safe Entry's screening capabilities.
Commercialization Outlook for 2023
Safe Entry is being positioned at the forefront of workplace health and safety solutions. The global workplace safety market is projected to grow from an estimated $14.2 billion USD in 2022 to $26.7 billion USD by 2027 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 13.5 %1.
While we were focused on upgrading, evolving, and validating Safe Entry - our team and partners were vigorous in educating market leaders at several trade show events across multiple industries about Safe Entry's Fit for Duty solutions. The excitement Safe Entry has generated from audiences at events while demoing Safe Entry has led to a bright-looking sales pipeline with a lot of potential for scalability and meaningful revenue.
Page 2 of 5
Predictmedix's peer-reviewed publications are an important milestone as the validation of our technology allows us to continue to develop our Triage solution for hospitals, where incoming patients' vitals are non-invasively screened and simultaneously transmitted to healthcare providers so decisions can be made more efficiently.
Predictmedix will be hyper-focused on commercialization throughout 2023, securing high-revenue recurring placements for workplaces in industries such as mining, manufacturing, warehousing, construction, and other industries where employee health and safety remain of high priority.
"It's our commitment to scale Safe Entry in 2023 and with our network of partners and industry leaders, we believe we are on our way to meeting significant revenue and scalability goals. As always, we continue to strive to build shareholder value through our technology portfolio, medical journals, and validated technology - all of which will allow us to create a significant impact in the marketplace in 2023 and beyond. To this end, the company is currently engaged in discussions with a number of large enterprises for potential commercial deployments," concluded Dr. Rahul Kushwah.
The Company announces that it has granted incentive stock options to officers and consultants of the Company to purchase an aggregate of 10,000,000 common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.05 per common share expiring four years from the date of grant.

Predictmedix Announces Third-Party Independent Clinical
Validation for AI-Powered Screening following 400 Patient Study at MGM Healthcare
Toronto, Ontario, February 15, 2023 - Predictmedix Inc. ("Predictmedix" or the "Company") (CSE: PMED) (OTCQB: PMEDF) (FRA:3QP), an emerging provider of rapid health screening solutions powered by a proprietary artificial intelligence (AI), today announced pivotal clinical validation data from one of the largest Government hospital groups in India for the company's AI-powered Safe Entry Stations. The third-party clinical findings show that Predictmedix's Safe Entry Stations accurately screen for various physiological conditions non-invasively - a pivotal milestone for the company's proprietary technology portfolio and for the global healthcare industry.
"Our team is diligently working towards the goal of Safe Entry being in thousands of hospital triages across the world. We believe our technology will drastically improve patient care and reduce the strain on already over-extended healthcare workers, " commented Dr. Rahul Kushwah, Chief Operating Officer at Predictmedix. "We're thrilled with the successful clinical findings from MGM Healthcare and are aggressively moving forward with commercializing Safe Entry as an automated, non-invasive healthcare tool powered by artificial intelligence."
The scope of the study was to determine the effectiveness of Predictmedix's AI-powered screening technology. The Safe Entry Station is a walk-thru system where an individual stands in front of the unit for 2-3 seconds while the multi-spectral imaging cameras gather the necessary information to determine the physiological state of the individual. Parameters like temperature, heart rate and respiration rate are collected non-invasively and the AI/ML algorithms compute a result. Vitals hold key insight into an individual's state, whether they're dealing with health complications, influenza, fatigue or even impairment. Safe Entry does not capture or store personal identity information, ever.
"The team at MGM has found Safe Entry to be ideal for hospital settings to non-invasively screen patients for various conditions by checking vital signs. We found Safe Entry to be very accurate at reading vital signs such as temperature, heart rate and respiration rate. Our overall assessment of Safe Entry has been quite positive as it has been used in various settings during the peak of the Covid outbreak within our hospital. Safe Entry was deployed at MGM for over 18 months, making several upgrades to their AI algorithms and models and now reached a mature stage of commercialization," read the independent clinical report from MGM dated February 2023.
