Opinion on the financial statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Immuno Precise Antibodies Ltd. (a British Columbia limited company) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of April 30, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended April 30, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of April 30, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended April 30, 2025, in conformity with Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Standards Board.

ITEM 16K – CYBERSECURITY

Risk Management and Strategy

As of the date of the filing of this Annual Report, the Company has information systems in place and has not suffered a “cybersecurity threat” (as defined in Item 106(a) of Regulation S-K) or “cybersecurity incident” (as defined in Item 106(a) of Regulation S-K). Moreover, the Company is aware of the evolution of cybersecurity risks and is taking proactive steps by keeping up to date our information systems and educating our personnel about these risks.

In order to mitigate these risks to a degree, the Company has an in-house IT Director and utilizes Software as a server (SaaS) to monitor and update the Company’s information systems.

The Company has implemented multiple measures to combat and reduce the risk of cybersecurity threats and cybersecurity incidents such as:

Engaging a IT Director in-house, who is available to respond immediately in the event of any cybersecurity threat or cybersecurity incident;
Developing internal System Use Policy and Information Security Policy reviewed by the CFO and IT Director enhancing the scrutiny of the emails received via a third-party security service provider to identify potential threats; and
Implementing informal educational outreach programs including email reminders to educate staff about certain cybersecurity risks.

Governance

The IT Director monitors cybersecurity risks and potential incidents while following and periodically reviewing the System Use policy and Information Security policy recommending updates to the CFO where needed. The CEO advises the Board of any potential cybersecurity threat and the corresponding mitigation steps needed.

At the time of filing this Annual Report the Company does not have a subcommittee dedicated to cybersecurity. However, as the Company’s situation evolves, the Board will consider increased oversight to manage the risks from cybersecurity threats.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

ImmunoPrecise Antibodies Ltd. (the "Company" or “IPA”) was incorporated under the laws of Alberta on November 22, 1983. The Company is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the trading ticker symbol “IPA.” The Company is a supplier of custom antibody discovery services. The address of the Company's corporate office is Industrious 823 Congress Ave Suite 300 Austin, Texas 78701.

Going concern basis

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. The Company has incurred net losses since its inception, including $30.2 million for the year ended April 30, 2025, and has accumulated a deficit of $128.8 million as of April 30, 2025. The Company had $10.8 million cash on hand as of April 30, 2025. The Company expects its cash on hand as of April 30, 2025 will be insufficient to fund the Company’s operations for at least one year from the date these financial statements are available to be issued. These conditions raise material uncertainties which cast significant doubt as to whether the Company will be able to continue as a going concern should it not be able to obtain financing necessary to fund its planned revenue growth and working capital requirements.

The Company will need to raise additional funds to finance its operations and strategic goals and there can be no assurances that sufficient funding, including adequate financing, will be available. The ability of the Company to arrange additional financing in the future depends in part on the prevailing capital market conditions and profitability of its operations. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient funds, reductions in expenditures will be required, and this may impact the future growth plans of the Company.

Nasdaq Deficiency Notice

On August 19, 2024, the Company first received written notification (the "Notification Letter") from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in the Nasdaq Rule 5450(a)(1) based on the closing bid price of the Common Shares of IPA (the “Common Shares”) being less than U.S.$1.00 per share for the 30 consecutive business days (the “Minimum Bid Requirement”) from July 5, 2024 to August 15, 2024. The Company was given a 180-day compliance period, or until February 17, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement.

The Company did not regain compliance during the first 180-calendar-day compliance period. However, on February 20, 2025, the Company transferred its securities to the Nasdaq Capital Market and was granted an additional 180-day compliance period, or until August 18, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement.

The Notification Letter is only a notification of deficiency, it is not a notice of imminent delisting, and it has no current immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Common Shares on Nasdaq. Nasdaq’s determination is based on the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Requirement.

On July 13, 2025, Nasdaq notified the Company that it has determined that for the last 10 consecutive business days, from June 26, 2025 to July 10, 2025, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock has been at U.S.$1.00 per share or greater. Accordingly, the Company has regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), and this matter is now closed.

Control is achieved when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with an entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. Intercompany balances, transactions and unrealized intercompany gains and losses are eliminated upon consolidation.

(d)
Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of a company is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates. The presentation currency for a company is the currency in which the company chooses to present its financial statements. The presentation and functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar.

Foreign currency translation

Entities whose functional currencies differ from the presentation currency are translated into Canadian dollars as follows: assets and liabilities – at the closing rate as at the reporting date, and income and expenses – at the average rate of the period. All resulting changes are recognized in other comprehensive income as cumulative translation differences.

Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at exchange rates at the date of the transactions. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the functional currency exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using exchange rates as at the dates

of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. All gains and losses on translation of these foreign currency transactions are included in profit or loss.

When the Company disposes of its entire interest in a foreign operation, or loses control, joint control, or significant influence over a foreign operation, the foreign currency gains or losses accumulated in other comprehensive income related to the foreign operation are recognized in profit or loss. If an entity disposes of part of an interest in a foreign operation which remains a subsidiary, a proportionate amount of foreign currency gains or losses accumulated in other comprehensive income related to the subsidiary are reallocated between controlling and non-controlling interests.

(e)
Correction of immaterial error

We corrected an immaterial error related to fiscal years 2023 and 2024. The adjustment related to the correction of the recognition of a deferred tax asset and resulting offset with the deferred income tax liability for fiscal years 2023 and 2024. The error had the impact of overstating the deferred tax liability and overstating the net loss in fiscal 2023 and 2024. Management evaluated the effect of the adjustment on previously issued interim and annual consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS guidelines and concluded that it was immaterial to the interim and annual periods. As a result, in accordance with IFRS, we corrected the comparative periods in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and Comprehensive Loss as of April 30, 2025.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business combinations

Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition model. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Company,

liabilities incurred by the Company to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Company in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired, and the liabilities assumed are recognized at their fair value at the acquisition date. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognized immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.

When the consideration transferred by the Company in a business combination includes assets or liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the ‘measurement period’ (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from sale of antibodies and service agreements.

Sale of antibodies:

Revenue from sale of antibodies is recognized when the terms of a contract with a customer have been satisfied. This occurs when:

The control over the product has been transferred to the customer; and
The product is received by the customer or transfer of title to the customer occurs upon shipment.

Following delivery, the customer bears the risks of obsolescence and loss in relation to the goods. Revenue is recognized based on the price specified in the contract, net of estimated sales discounts and returns.

Contract revenue:

Revenues from contracted services are generally recognized as the performance obligations are satisfied over time, and the related expenditures are incurred pursuant to the terms of the agreement. Contract revenue is recognized over time based on the input method, specifically the hours incurred. Revenue is recognized as the work progresses, in proportion to the amount of labor hours expended on the contract. For contracts with no enforceable right to payment when the contract is incomplete, contract revenue is recognized when the customers are satisfied with the service at the end of the contract and control of the product has been transferred to the customer. We apply the practical expedient outlined in IFRS 15.121, which allows us not to disclose information about remaining performance obligations as our contract duration is less than one year and we have the right to invoice for performance to date. The following table summarizes revenue recognized over time versus at a point in time for the years ended April 30:

Unbilled revenue and deferred revenue:

Amounts recognized as revenue in excess of billings are classified as unbilled revenue. Amounts received in advance of the performance of services are classified as deferred revenue.

Cost of sales:

Cost of sales includes materials, direct labor, and allocation of overhead including depreciation of lab equipment.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value and are readily convertible to known amounts of cash.

Recognition and Measurement

Cash and cash equivalents are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, the carrying amount is considered to be the same as their fair value.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash is classified separately from cash and cash equivalents. It represents amounts that are held in trust or escrow accounts or that are otherwise restricted as to withdrawal or usage. The nature and purpose of restrictions on cash balances are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Restricted cash is not considered a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows.

Financial instruments

Recognition and Classification

The Company recognizes a financial asset or financial liability on the statement of financial position when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.

The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: at fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), at fair value through other comprehensive income (loss) (“FVTOCI”) or at amortized cost. The Company determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition. The classification of debt instruments is driven by the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics.

Equity instruments that are held for trading are classified as FVTPL. For other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate them as at FVTOCI. Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL (such as instruments held for trading or derivatives) or if the Company has opted to measure them at FVTPL.

Measurement

Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL:

Financial assets and liabilities carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities held at FVTPL are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Where management has opted to recognize a financial

liability at FVTPL, any changes associated with the Company’s own credit risk will be recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).

Financial assets at FVTOCI:

Elected investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently they are measured at fair value, with gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).

Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost:

Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value plus or minus transaction costs, respectively, and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment.

Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost:

The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. At each reporting date, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the twelve month expected credit losses.

Irrespective of the preceding policy, the Company always measures the loss allowance of trade receivables at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses.

The Company shall recognize in profit or loss, as an impairment gain or loss, the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized.

Derecognition

Financial assets:

The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all of the associated risks and rewards of ownership to another entity. Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recognized in profit or loss. However, gains and losses on derecognition of financial assets classified as FVTOCI remain within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Financial liabilities:

The Company derecognizes financial liabilities only when its obligations under the financial liabilities are discharged, cancelled or expired. Generally, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash assets, is recognized in profit or loss.

Government assistance

The Company periodically applies for financial assistance under available government incentive programs. Government assistance relating to capital expenditures is reflected as a reduction of the cost of such assets. Government assistance relating to research and development expenditures is recorded as a reduction of current year's expenses when the related expenditures are incurred.

Government grant

The Company periodically applies for financial assistance under available government incentive programs. The grant is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to them and the grants will be received. All funds received as part of the grant or subsidies are reflected in grant and subsidy income.

Inventory

Inventory consists of supplies, parts and antibodies and is valued at the lower of weighted average cost and net realizable value. Costs include acquisition, freight and other directly attributable costs.

Equipment and leasehold improvements

Equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the following terms:

The Company evaluates equipment and leasehold improvements for indications of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Impairment losses are immediately recognized in profit and loss.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalized development costs, are not capitalized and the related expenditure is reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite.

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. Amortization for intangible assets with finite lives is provided over the following terms:

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit ("CGU") level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.

During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2024, the Company recorded an impairment of intangible assets charge of $3.9 million related to the BioStrand CGU. See Note 9 for more information.

During the fiscal year 2025, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $21.2 million for the BioStrand CGU. The loss was recorded as a reduction in the intangible assets in BioStrand. The primary factor for the impairment included a delay in expected cash flows of BioStrand due to the strategic plans and expected use of BioStrand's assets. The increased discount rate relates to additional forecast risk for the BioStrand CGU, as compared to fiscal year ended April 30, 2024.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not subject to amortization and an impairment test is performed annually or as events occur that could indicate impairment.

Goodwill is reported at cost less any impairment. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (“CGU”). To test for impairment, goodwill is allocated to each of the Company’s CGUs, groups of CGUs, or an operating segment expected to benefit from the acquisition. Goodwill is tested by combining the carrying amounts of equipment and leasehold improvements, intangible assets and goodwill and comparing this to the recoverable amount. Fair value less costs of disposal is price to be received in an orderly transaction between market participants. Value in use is assessed using the present value of the expected future cash flows. Any excess of the carrying amount over the recoverable amount is recorded as impairment. Impairment charges, which are not tax affected, are recognized in profit or loss and are not reversed.

During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2023, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $2.5 million related to the BioStrand CGU. During the year ended April 30, 2024, the Company recorded an impairment of goodwill charge of $11.2 million related to the BioStrand CGU. No impairment was recorded against goodwill for BioStrand for the year ended April 30, 2025. See Note 9 for more information.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparison of their carrying amount to the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less costs of disposal or the value in use. Value in use is determined by the present value of the future cash flows from the asset. If the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount, then there is impairment. Where an impairment loss exists, the portion of the carrying amount exceeding the recoverable amount is recorded as an expense immediately. Assets that have been impaired in prior periods are tested for possible reversal of impairment whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the impairment has reversed. If the impairment has reversed, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount but not beyond the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior periods. The reversal is recognized in profit or loss immediately.

During the year ended April 30, 2024, the Company recorded an impairment of intangible assets charge of $3.9 million and an impairment of goodwill charge of $11.2 million related to the BioStrand CGU. The impairment losses were determined based on fair value less costs of disposal, considering discount rates, growth rates, and other relevant factors. See Note 8 and Note 9 for more information.

Income taxes

Income taxes are recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss, except where they relate to items recognized directly in equity, in which case the related taxes are recognized in equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the difference between the tax and accounting values of assets and liabilities and are calculated using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates for the periods in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of tax rate changes is recognized in profit or loss or equity, as applicable, in the period of substantive enactment. Current taxes receivable or payable are estimated on taxable income for the current year at the statutory tax rates enacted or substantively enacted.

Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits of the relevant entity or group of entities, in a particular jurisdiction, will be available against which the assets can be utilized. As an exception, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary differences arise from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction (other than in a business combination) that affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit.

Investment tax credits (“ITCs”) are accounted for as a reduction in the cost of the expense when there is reasonable assurance that such credits will be realized. These ITCs are used to reduce current income taxes payable.

Leases

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

The liabilities for leases of right-of-use assets are recognized at the lease commencement date at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments are discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. At the commencement date, a right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which is comprised of the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any decommissioning and restoration costs, less any lease incentives received.

Each lease payment is allocated between repayment of the lease principal and interest. Interest on the lease liability in each period during the lease term is allocated to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the lease liability. Except where the costs are included in the carrying amount of another asset, the Company recognizes in profit or loss (a) the interest on a lease liability and (b) variable lease payments not included in the measurement of a lease liability in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs. The Company subsequently measures the right-of-use asset at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses; and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life or the lease term, except where the lease contains a bargain purchase option a right-of-use asset is depreciated over the asset’s useful life.

Research and development

Research and development cost is charged to the income statement in the period in which it is incurred. Property, plant and equipment used for research and development is capitalized and depreciated in accordance with the equipment and leasehold improvements policy.

Share capital

Equity instruments are contracts that give a residual interest in the net assets of the Company. The Company's common shares are classified as equity instruments.

Proceeds from unit placements are allocated between common shares and warrants issued based on the residual value method, with the common shares being valued first.

Share issuance costs

Costs directly identifiable with the raising of share capital financing are charged against share capital. Share issuance costs incurred in advance of share subscriptions are recorded as deferred assets. Share issuance costs related to uncompleted share subscriptions are charged to operations.

Share-based payments

Where equity-settled share options are awarded to employees, the fair value of the options at the date of grant is charged to profit or loss over the vesting period.

Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to profit or loss over the remaining vesting period.

Where equity instruments are granted to non-employees, they are recorded at the fair value of the goods or services received in profit or loss, unless they are related to the issuance of shares. Amounts related to the issuance of shares are recorded as a reduction of share capital.

When the value of goods or services received in exchange for the share-based payment cannot be reliably estimated, the fair value is measured by use of a valuation model. The expected life used in the model is adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioral considerations.

All equity-settled share-based payments are reflected in contributed surplus, until exercised. Upon exercise, shares are issued from treasury and the amount reflected in contributed surplus is credited to share capital, adjusted for any consideration paid.

Where a grant of options is cancelled or settled during the vesting period, excluding forfeitures when vesting conditions are not satisfied, the Company immediately accounts for the cancellation as an acceleration of vesting and recognizes the amount that otherwise would have been recognized for services received over the remainder of the vesting period. Any payment made to the employee on the cancellation is accounted for as the repurchase of an equity interest except to the extent the payment exceeds the fair value of the equity instrument granted, measured at the repurchase date. Any such excess is recognized as an expense.

Earnings (loss) per share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. In periods where a net loss is incurred, potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the loss per share calculation as the effect would be anti-dilutive and basic and diluted loss per common share is the same. In a profit year, under the treasury stock method, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used for the calculation of diluted earnings per share assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average price during the year.

ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Standards adopted

Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current (Amendments to IAS 1)

The amendments to IAS 1 provide a more general approach to the classification of liabilities based on the contractual arrangements in place at the reporting date.

These amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, which is our fiscal year ending April 30, 2025. We adopted these amendments in our first fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2024 with no impact noted to our classification of liabilities.

Standards not yet adopted

IFRS 18

The new requirements introduced in IFRS 18 will help to achieve comparability of the financial performance of similar entities, especially related to how ‘operating profit or loss’ is defined. The new disclosures required for some management-defined performance measures will also enhance transparency. The Company does not expect IFRS 18 to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

These amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS required estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates and judgments. Estimates are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimate is revised.

Judgments

Business combinations

Acquisitions of a business are accounted for as a business combination if the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business in accordance with IFRS 3. Judgment is required to determine if the transaction meets the definition of a business combination.

During the year ended April 30, 2022, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of Idea Family BV, BioStrand BV, BioKey BV, and BioClue BV (collectively “BioStrand”), as detailed in Note 6. Management concluded that BioStrand met the definition of a business and accounted for the transaction as a business combination.

The acquisition of BioStrand includes potential future earn-out payments dependent on the future profitability of the business. Judgment was required to determine whether the payments constitute an exchange for the business or are transactions separate from the business combination. The potential future earn-out payments to the selling shareholders of BioStrand will be accounted for separate from the business combination (see Note 18).

Impairments

For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows called a cash-generating unit (“CGU"). Management applies judgment to determine CGUs. Each asset or CGU is evaluated every reporting period to determine whether there are any indicators of impairment. If any such indicators exist, which is often judgment based, a formal estimate of recoverable amount is performed and an impairment charge is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

The Company performs a goodwill impairment test annually and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill acquired through business combinations was allocated to three different CGUs, the Company’s Oss and Utrecht locations at IPA Europe, and BioStrand. The goodwill allocated to Oss and Utrecht was $3.3 million and $4.9 million, respectively, as of April 30, 2025. The goodwill allocated to Oss and Utrecht and BioStrand was $3.1 million, $4.6 million, respectively, as of April 30, 2024. The goodwill allocated to BioStrand was fully impaired as of April 30, 2024 and April 30, 2025 (see Note 9).

Estimates

Business combinations

At acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recognized at their fair value. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition-date fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Estimates are required to determine the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and estimated fair values may vary from prices that would be achieved in an arm’s length transaction at the acquisition date (see Note 6).

Impairment of long-lived assets

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU of assets is measured at the higher of fair value less costs of disposal or value in use. These determinations and their individual assumptions require that management make a decision based on the best available information at each reporting period. The estimates and assumptions are subject to risk and uncertainty; hence, there is the possibility that changes in circumstances will alter these projections, which may impact the recoverable amount of the assets. In such circumstances, some or all of the carrying value of the assets may be further impaired or the impairment charge reversed with the impact recorded in profit or loss.

The recoverable amount of each CGU was based on value in use, determined by discounting the future cash flows to be generated from the continuing use of the CGU. The cash flows were projected over a five-year period for the Company's Utrecht and Oss locations, and a seven-year period for BioStrand. The projections are based on past experience and actual operating results.

The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test for April 2025 and no CGUs were identified as requiring impairment. The values assigned to the key assumptions represented management’s assessment of future trends in the industry and were based on historical data from both internal and external sources. See Note 9 for details on the weighted average cost of capital used in the assessments of the three CGUs.

Useful life of intangible assets

Intangible assets are amortized based on estimated useful life less their estimated residual value. Significant assumptions are involved in the determination of useful life and residual values and no assurance can be given that the actual useful lives and residual values will not differ significantly from current assumptions. Actual useful life and residual values may vary depending on a number of factors including internal technical evaluation, attributes of the assets and experience with similar assets. Changes to these estimates may affect the carrying value of assets, net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) in future periods (see Note 8).

Share-based payments

Where equity-settled share options are awarded to employees, the fair value of the options at the date of grant is charged to profit and loss over the vesting period. The Company makes assumptions to determine the estimated forfeiture rate of the share options, and these estimates are reviewed at the end of each reporting period. Changes to these estimates may affect contributed surplus and net income (loss) (see Note 12).

ACQUISITION OF BIOSTRAND

On April 13, 2022, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of BioStrand B.V., BioKey B.V., BioClue B.V. and Idea Family B.V. (collectively “BioStrand”) on terms as follows:

2.7 million (CAD $3.7 million) was paid in cash on closing;

4,077,774 common shares of the Company were issued on closing;

Deferred cash payment of €0.5 million (CAD $0.7 million) to be paid 90 days subsequent to closing; and

Deferred cash payment of €0.5 million (CAD $0.6 million) to be paid over 3 years on the anniversary of the closing date.

BioStrand focuses on technology in the field of bioinformatics and biotechnology related to the identification of characteristic biological sequences in proteins, RNA and DNA, and their different information layers, the development of a knowledge base containing these characteristic biological sequences and information layers, and the use of this database to process biological sequences and compare processed biological sequences. The acquisition provides the Company with advanced omics capabilities to enhance its antibody discovery processes and offer multi-omics data analysis to its clients.

The transaction was accounted for as a business combination, as the operations of BioStrand meet the definition of a business. As the transaction was accounted for as a business combination, legal and consulting costs of $0.7 million and $0.1 million, respectively, were expensed during the year ended April 30, 2022. The goodwill resulting from the allocation of the purchase price to the total fair value of net assets will represent the sales growth potential and assembled workforce of BioStrand.

During the three months ended July 31, 2022, the Company recorded the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in connection with building and vehicle leases at BioStrand. During the three months ended October 31, 2022, the Company adjusted goodwill upon the finalization of the deferred cash payment paid 90 days subsequent to closing. Both adjustments occurred during the measurement period and were applied retrospectively. The Company has allocated the purchase price as follows:

The intellectual property assets are primarily comprised of acquired technology assets that are expected to have a useful life of 15 years.

The fair value of the 4,077,774 common shares issued ($29.1 million) was determined based on the Canadian dollar equivalent of the consideration required of €21.3 million pursuant to the share purchase agreement using the closing stock price at` the date of the acquisition. The common shares are subject to an escrow agreement and will be released to the vendors on the following schedule: 15% one year after closing, 20% two years after closing, and 65% three years after closing.

The deferred cash payments of €1.0 million was fair valued on the date of acquisition using a discounted cash flow model. The changes in the value of the subsequent payments during the years ended April 30, 2025, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:

The recoverable amount of each CGU was based on value-in-use calculations and determined using a five-year forecast for Oss and Utrecht, followed by a terminal growth rate determined by management. The present value of the forecasted cash flows of each CGU is determined by applying a discount rate reflecting a current market assessment of the time value of money and risks specific to the CGU. The recoverable amount, growth rate assumptions and discount rates for each CGU as of April 30, 2025, 2024 are as follows:

The terminal growth rates consider the average GDP growth rate of the Netherlands and Belgium. The discount rates reflect management’s assessment of market and specific risk of the CGU. Both the Oss and Utrecht CGUs operate in the same region and are included in the same operating segment of the Company. The cash flow forecasts include a key management assumption that

future profit margins will remain stable and is based on previous performance of the CGU. The assumption for future profit margins is based on management’s review of the prior three years of performance of the CGU.

During the year ended April 30, 2023, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $2.5 million for the BioStrand CGU. The loss was recorded as a reduction in goodwill. The primary factor for the impairment included a rise in the discount rate as compared to the prior year, along with a delay in expected cash flows in the forecast. The increased discount rate relates to increases in the forecast risk for the BioStrand CGU, increased economic risk, and increased global interest rates as compared to the prior year.

During the year ended April 30, 2024, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $11.2 million on impairment of goodwill. The loss was recorded as a reduction in goodwill and the intangible assets. The primary factor for the impairment included a rise in the discount rate as compared to the prior year, along with a delay in expected cash flows in the forecast. The increased discount rate relates to increases in the forecast risk for the BioStrand CGU, increased economic risk, and increased global interest rates as compared to the prior year.

Sales of the common shares will be made in transactions that are deemed to be "at-the-market distributions" as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) of the United Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including, without limitation, sales made directly on Nasdaq or any other existing trading market for the common shares in the United States. Common shares will only be sold on the facilities of an exchange or market outside Canada to purchasers who the Company has no reason to believe are resident in Canada and, in all others cases, to purchasers who are not located or resident in Canada. The Company will determine, at its sole discretion, the date, minimum price and maximum number of common shares to be sold under the ATM Facility. The common shares will be distributed from time to time in negotiated transactions, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices relating to such prevailing market prices, and/or in any other manner permitted by applicable law. As such, the prices may vary between purchasers over time. The Company is not required to sell any common shares at any time during the term of the ATM Facility. In fiscal 2024, 629,240 common shares were sold under the ATM with proceeds net of commissions of $1.8 million.

2025 Transaction

During the year ended April 30, 2025, the Company issued 13,315,850 Common Shares under the ATM Facility with proceeds net of commissions of $12.2 million.

During the year ended April 30, 2025, the Company issued 5,893,768 common shares with a value of U.S.$3.0 million pursuant to the conversion of U.S.$3.0 million principal balance of convertible debentures.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, amounts receivable, restricted cash, investment, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, debentures, loans payable, leases and deferred acquisition payments.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, by reference to the reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values.

Level 1 – applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Level 3 – applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The fair value of investment is determined based on “Level 2” inputs as its value under the equity method was the best approximation of its fair value. As at April 30, 2025, the Company believes the carrying values of cash, amounts receivable,

restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, leases and deferred acquisition payments approximate their fair values because of their nature and relatively short maturity dates or durations.

Concentration of risk:

Concentrations of credit risk

Credit risk relates to cash, restricted cash and amounts receivable and arises from the possibility that counterparty to an instrument may fail to perform. At April 30, 2025, all of the Company’s cash was held with tier one banks. Details of amounts receivable and allowance for credit losses as of April 30, 2025, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:

Currency risk

The Company operates in the US and Europe which gives rise to exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency values. Most significantly, the Company is exposed to potential currency fluctuations between US and Canadian dollars, which was translated at 1.3812 at April 30, 2025, and the Euro and Canadian dollar, which was translated at 1.5687 at April 30, 2025. Fluctuations in the exchange rate could impact profitability.

Liquidity risk

The Company’s approach to managing its obligations is to maintain sufficient resources to meet its obligations when due without undue risk to the Company. The Company monitors its cash requirements on an ongoing basis to ensure that there are sufficient resources for operations as well as to fund anticipated leasing, capital and development expenditures. In addition, the Company manages its cash to meet its obligations and to fund general and administrative costs.

The share purchase agreement related to the acquisition of BioStrand includes contingent earnout payments based on 20% of the EBITDA of BioStrand, as defined in the share purchase agreement, over a 7-year period, which shall not exceed in total €12.0 million. The Company has determined these payments relate to post-acquisition services because they are contingent on the employment of two key employees and will be expensed in the period earned. As of April 30, 2025, the Company's unpaid maximum commitment related to the BioStrand earnout is €12.0 million.

On July 4, 2025, tax legislation known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was enacted in the United States. OBBBA modifies certain international tax provisions such as the tax on Global Intangible Low Taxed Income ("GILTI") and renames GILTI as Net CFC Tested Income ("NCTI"). The Company records NCTI taxes on a deferred basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of U.S. tax law changes introduced by OBBBA on our consolidated financial statements. A quantitative

estimate of the specific financial impacts cannot be reasonably determined at this time due to the complexity of the changes in OBBBA and the need for further analysis.

Business combinations

Business combinations

Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition model. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Company,

liabilities incurred by the Company to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Company in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired, and the liabilities assumed are recognized at their fair value at the acquisition date. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognized immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.

When the consideration transferred by the Company in a business combination includes assets or liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the ‘measurement period’ (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.

Revenue recognition

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from sale of antibodies and service agreements.

Sale of antibodies:

Revenue from sale of antibodies is recognized when the terms of a contract with a customer have been satisfied. This occurs when:

The control over the product has been transferred to the customer; and
The product is received by the customer or transfer of title to the customer occurs upon shipment.

Following delivery, the customer bears the risks of obsolescence and loss in relation to the goods. Revenue is recognized based on the price specified in the contract, net of estimated sales discounts and returns.

Contract revenue:

Revenues from contracted services are generally recognized as the performance obligations are satisfied over time, and the related expenditures are incurred pursuant to the terms of the agreement. Contract revenue is recognized over time based on the input method, specifically the hours incurred. Revenue is recognized as the work progresses, in proportion to the amount of labor hours expended on the contract. For contracts with no enforceable right to payment when the contract is incomplete, contract revenue is recognized when the customers are satisfied with the service at the end of the contract and control of the product has been transferred to the customer. We apply the practical expedient outlined in IFRS 15.121, which allows us not to disclose information about remaining performance obligations as our contract duration is less than one year and we have the right to invoice for performance to date. The following table summarizes revenue recognized over time versus at a point in time for the years ended April 30:

Unbilled revenue and deferred revenue:

Amounts recognized as revenue in excess of billings are classified as unbilled revenue. Amounts received in advance of the performance of services are classified as deferred revenue.

Cost of sales:

Cost of sales includes materials, direct labor, and allocation of overhead including depreciation of lab equipment.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value and are readily convertible to known amounts of cash.

Recognition and Measurement

Cash and cash equivalents are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, the carrying amount is considered to be the same as their fair value.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash is classified separately from cash and cash equivalents. It represents amounts that are held in trust or escrow accounts or that are otherwise restricted as to withdrawal or usage. The nature and purpose of restrictions on cash balances are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Restricted cash is not considered a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows.

Financial instruments

Financial instruments

Recognition and Classification

The Company recognizes a financial asset or financial liability on the statement of financial position when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.

The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: at fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), at fair value through other comprehensive income (loss) (“FVTOCI”) or at amortized cost. The Company determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition. The classification of debt instruments is driven by the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics.

Equity instruments that are held for trading are classified as FVTPL. For other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate them as at FVTOCI. Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL (such as instruments held for trading or derivatives) or if the Company has opted to measure them at FVTPL.

Measurement

Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL:

Financial assets and liabilities carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities held at FVTPL are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Where management has opted to recognize a financial

liability at FVTPL, any changes associated with the Company’s own credit risk will be recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).

Financial assets at FVTOCI:

Elected investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently they are measured at fair value, with gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).

Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost:

Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value plus or minus transaction costs, respectively, and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment.

Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost:

The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. At each reporting date, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the twelve month expected credit losses.

Irrespective of the preceding policy, the Company always measures the loss allowance of trade receivables at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses.

The Company shall recognize in profit or loss, as an impairment gain or loss, the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized.

Derecognition

Financial assets:

The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all of the associated risks and rewards of ownership to another entity. Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recognized in profit or loss. However, gains and losses on derecognition of financial assets classified as FVTOCI remain within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Financial liabilities:

The Company derecognizes financial liabilities only when its obligations under the financial liabilities are discharged, cancelled or expired. Generally, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash assets, is recognized in profit or loss.

Government assistance

Government assistance

The Company periodically applies for financial assistance under available government incentive programs. Government assistance relating to capital expenditures is reflected as a reduction of the cost of such assets. Government assistance relating to research and development expenditures is recorded as a reduction of current year's expenses when the related expenditures are incurred.

Government grant

Government grant

The Company periodically applies for financial assistance under available government incentive programs. The grant is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to them and the grants will be received. All funds received as part of the grant or subsidies are reflected in grant and subsidy income.

Inventory

Inventory

Inventory consists of supplies, parts and antibodies and is valued at the lower of weighted average cost and net realizable value. Costs include acquisition, freight and other directly attributable costs.

Equipment and leasehold improvements

The Company evaluates equipment and leasehold improvements for indications of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Impairment losses are immediately recognized in profit and loss.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalized development costs, are not capitalized and the related expenditure is reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite.

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. Amortization for intangible assets with finite lives is provided over the following terms:

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit ("CGU") level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.

During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2024, the Company recorded an impairment of intangible assets charge of $3.9 million related to the BioStrand CGU. See Note 9 for more information.

During the fiscal year 2025, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $21.2 million for the BioStrand CGU. The loss was recorded as a reduction in the intangible assets in BioStrand. The primary factor for the impairment included a delay in expected cash flows of BioStrand due to the strategic plans and expected use of BioStrand's assets. The increased discount rate relates to additional forecast risk for the BioStrand CGU, as compared to fiscal year ended April 30, 2024.

Goodwill

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not subject to amortization and an impairment test is performed annually or as events occur that could indicate impairment.

Goodwill is reported at cost less any impairment. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (“CGU”). To test for impairment, goodwill is allocated to each of the Company’s CGUs, groups of CGUs, or an operating segment expected to benefit from the acquisition. Goodwill is tested by combining the carrying amounts of equipment and leasehold improvements, intangible assets and goodwill and comparing this to the recoverable amount. Fair value less costs of disposal is price to be received in an orderly transaction between market participants. Value in use is assessed using the present value of the expected future cash flows. Any excess of the carrying amount over the recoverable amount is recorded as impairment. Impairment charges, which are not tax affected, are recognized in profit or loss and are not reversed.

During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2023, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $2.5 million related to the BioStrand CGU. During the year ended April 30, 2024, the Company recorded an impairment of goodwill charge of $11.2 million related to the BioStrand CGU. No impairment was recorded against goodwill for BioStrand for the year ended April 30, 2025. See Note 9 for more information.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparison of their carrying amount to the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less costs of disposal or the value in use. Value in use is determined by the present value of the future cash flows from the asset. If the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount, then there is impairment. Where an impairment loss exists, the portion of the carrying amount exceeding the recoverable amount is recorded as an expense immediately. Assets that have been impaired in prior periods are tested for possible reversal of impairment whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the impairment has reversed. If the impairment has reversed, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount but not beyond the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior periods. The reversal is recognized in profit or loss immediately.

During the year ended April 30, 2024, the Company recorded an impairment of intangible assets charge of $3.9 million and an impairment of goodwill charge of $11.2 million related to the BioStrand CGU. The impairment losses were determined based on fair value less costs of disposal, considering discount rates, growth rates, and other relevant factors. See Note 8 and Note 9 for more information.

Income taxes

Income taxes

Income taxes are recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss, except where they relate to items recognized directly in equity, in which case the related taxes are recognized in equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the difference between the tax and accounting values of assets and liabilities and are calculated using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates for the periods in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of tax rate changes is recognized in profit or loss or equity, as applicable, in the period of substantive enactment. Current taxes receivable or payable are estimated on taxable income for the current year at the statutory tax rates enacted or substantively enacted.

Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits of the relevant entity or group of entities, in a particular jurisdiction, will be available against which the assets can be utilized. As an exception, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary differences arise from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction (other than in a business combination) that affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit.

Investment tax credits (“ITCs”) are accounted for as a reduction in the cost of the expense when there is reasonable assurance that such credits will be realized. These ITCs are used to reduce current income taxes payable.

Leases

Leases

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

The liabilities for leases of right-of-use assets are recognized at the lease commencement date at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments are discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. At the commencement date, a right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which is comprised of the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any decommissioning and restoration costs, less any lease incentives received.

Each lease payment is allocated between repayment of the lease principal and interest. Interest on the lease liability in each period during the lease term is allocated to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the lease liability. Except where the costs are included in the carrying amount of another asset, the Company recognizes in profit or loss (a) the interest on a lease liability and (b) variable lease payments not included in the measurement of a lease liability in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs. The Company subsequently measures the right-of-use asset at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses; and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life or the lease term, except where the lease contains a bargain purchase option a right-of-use asset is depreciated over the asset’s useful life.

Research and development

Research and development

Research and development cost is charged to the income statement in the period in which it is incurred. Property, plant and equipment used for research and development is capitalized and depreciated in accordance with the equipment and leasehold improvements policy.

Share capital

Share capital

Equity instruments are contracts that give a residual interest in the net assets of the Company. The Company's common shares are classified as equity instruments.

Proceeds from unit placements are allocated between common shares and warrants issued based on the residual value method, with the common shares being valued first.

Share issuance costs

Share issuance costs

Costs directly identifiable with the raising of share capital financing are charged against share capital. Share issuance costs incurred in advance of share subscriptions are recorded as deferred assets. Share issuance costs related to uncompleted share subscriptions are charged to operations.

Share-based payments

Share-based payments

Where equity-settled share options are awarded to employees, the fair value of the options at the date of grant is charged to profit or loss over the vesting period.

Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to profit or loss over the remaining vesting period.

Where equity instruments are granted to non-employees, they are recorded at the fair value of the goods or services received in profit or loss, unless they are related to the issuance of shares. Amounts related to the issuance of shares are recorded as a reduction of share capital.

When the value of goods or services received in exchange for the share-based payment cannot be reliably estimated, the fair value is measured by use of a valuation model. The expected life used in the model is adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioral considerations.

All equity-settled share-based payments are reflected in contributed surplus, until exercised. Upon exercise, shares are issued from treasury and the amount reflected in contributed surplus is credited to share capital, adjusted for any consideration paid.

Where a grant of options is cancelled or settled during the vesting period, excluding forfeitures when vesting conditions are not satisfied, the Company immediately accounts for the cancellation as an acceleration of vesting and recognizes the amount that otherwise would have been recognized for services received over the remainder of the vesting period. Any payment made to the employee on the cancellation is accounted for as the repurchase of an equity interest except to the extent the payment exceeds the fair value of the equity instrument granted, measured at the repurchase date. Any such excess is recognized as an expense.

Earnings (loss) per share

Earnings (loss) per share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. In periods where a net loss is incurred, potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the loss per share calculation as the effect would be anti-dilutive and basic and diluted loss per common share is the same. In a profit year, under the treasury stock method, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used for the calculation of diluted earnings per share assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average price during the year.

Summary of Classification and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities

Equity instruments that are held for trading are classified as FVTPL. For other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate them as at FVTOCI. Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL (such as instruments held for trading or derivatives) or if the Company has opted to measure them at FVTPL.

Summary of Differences and Related Tax Effects

Income tax expense differs from the amount that would be computed by applying the federal and provincial statutory tax rates of (2025 – 27%, 2024 – 27%, and 2023 – 27%) to the earnings before income taxes. The reasons for the differences and related tax effects are as follows:

On July 4, 2025, tax legislation known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was enacted in the United States. OBBBA modifies certain international tax provisions such as the tax on Global Intangible Low Taxed Income ("GILTI") and renames GILTI as Net CFC Tested Income ("NCTI"). The Company records NCTI taxes on a deferred basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of U.S. tax law changes introduced by OBBBA on our consolidated financial statements. A quantitative

estimate of the specific financial impacts cannot be reasonably determined at this time due to the complexity of the changes in OBBBA and the need for further analysis.

Impairment of long-lived assets, description The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparison of their carrying amount to the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less costs of disposal or the value in use. Value in use is determined by the present value of the future cash flows from the asset. If the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount, then there is impairment. Where an impairment loss exists, the portion of the carrying amount exceeding the recoverable amount is recorded as an expense immediately. Assets that have been impaired in prior periods are tested for possible reversal of impairment whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the impairment has reversed. If the impairment has reversed, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount but not beyond the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior periods. The reversal is recognized in profit or loss immediately.
