Recent acquisitions and the opening of new medical clinics provide us with a forward-looking revenue run rate that is on track to significantly exceed our historical revenues. We are focused on playing a key role in serving the massive backlog in patient care in Canada and Mexico, and therefore, we will continue to scale and invest in our digital and physical footprints in these countries.”

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS AND YEAR ENDED JANUARY 31, 2021
Operating Results
Revenue for the year ended January 31, 2021: For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021, revenues were $3,852,372 as compared to $3,617,388 last fiscal year, an increase of $234,984. T he increase in revenue was supported primarily by an increase in annual license fees from a partial year of new locations and an overall increase from revenues in Mexico related to the ongoing expansion.
Revenue for the 3 months ended January 31, 2021: For the 3 months ended January 31, 2021, revenues were $716,458 as compared to $833,248 in the same period in fiscal 2020, a decrease of $116,790. T he decrease in revenue was mainly driven by a decrease in license fees due to the turnover in clinics and a decrease in retention fees as this revenue was accelerated and received in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 (a timing difference) offset by an increase in clinic operations due to the opening of three new clinics in Mexico and increased sales from COVID testing in Mexico. Management expects this decrease, primarily affected by a timing difference in retention fees, will normalize in future quarters.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) for the year ended January 31, 2021 : Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021, was $209,627 compared to $263,511 for the same period in fiscal 2020.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) for the 3 months ended January 31, 2021: Adjusted EBITDA of ($642,269) compared to ($121,596) in the same period in fiscal 2020. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA consists primarily of an overall cost of new management and infrastructure to position the Company for growth and scale in several areas of the business. Management expects this to normalize as new revenue streams are realized in the coming months.
Income (Loss) from operations for the year ended January 31, 2021: For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021, loss from operations was ($1,354,639) compared to an income of $153,068 in fiscal 2020. The loss from operations consists of a significant amount of new expenses in the last two quarters of fiscal 2021 such as stock compensation expenses, consulting fees, bad debt expenses, salaries and wages, and development costs, partially offset by decreases in professional fees, office and general expenses, license fees and increase in annual revenues.
(Loss) from operations for the 3 months ended January 31, 2021: For the 3 months ended January 31, 2021, the loss from operations was ($1,986,989) compared to ($151,164) in the same period in fiscal 2020. The increase in loss from operations consists mostly of a significant amount of new expenses in the last quarter of fiscal 2021 such as stock compensation expenses, consulting fees, bad debt expenses, salaries and wages, and development costs, acquisition-related costs, and investor communication-related costs, offset marginally by decrease in office and general expenses. The Company incurred these new expenses from becoming a publicly traded entity and expanding its infrastructure and staff for growth and scale in 2022.

Cash of $7.7 million (January 31, 2020 - $0)

Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure to assess the ongoing performance of the Company as it provides more meaningful operating results by excluding the effects of expenses that are not reflective of our underlying business performance as well as on-time or non-recurring expenses. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to add back or deduct, as applicable, certain expenses, costs, charges, or benefits incurred in the period, which in management’s view, are not indicative of normal operations, including: (i) stock compensation expense, (ii) interest income, (iii) other income (expense), (iv) loss on investments at fair value, (v) write down on investments, (vi) F/X adjustments, and (vii) listing expenses.
Non-GAAP measure: Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as alternatives to net income (loss) determined in accordance with IFRS. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Adjusted EBITDA is a meaningful financial metric as it measures cash generated from operations which the Company can use to fund working capital requirements, service future interest and principal debt repayments and fund future growth initiatives.
