-
Basis of preparation
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the Nine-month period ended November 30, 2025 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, Interim Financial Reporting. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same basis of presentation, accounting policies, and methods of computation as outlined in Note 2, Summary of significant accounting policies, in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2025, which have also been prepared in accordance with IFRS. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2025.
-
New accounting standards and amendments issued and adopted
In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures and IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, following the implementation review of the requirements of IFRS 9 and related requirements of IFRS 7.
The IASB amended IFRS 9 to clarify the timing of recognition and derecognition of certain financial assets and liabilities, with a new exception for certain financial liabilities settled in cash through an electronic payment system, and to clarify and add additional guidance for assessing whether the cash flows associated with a financial asset consist solely of repayments of principal and interest payments on the outstanding principal.
The IASB amended IFRS 7 to add new disclosures for certain instruments whose contractual terms may modify cash flows, and to improve the presentation of information about equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the amendments to IFRS 7 and IFRS 9, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2026.
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements, which will replace the current IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements.
IFRS 18 introduces three new elements designed to improve the presentation of information in financial statements. It introduces three new categories of revenue and expense (operating, investing, and financing) to improve the comparability of income statements between companies. In addition, IFRS 18 aims to improve the transparency of
performance indicators defined by management. Finally, IFRS 18 provides guidance on how to present information in financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting IFRS 18, which will be applicable to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2027.
-
Estimates
The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Company's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2025.
-
Seasonality
The Company's sales are not subject to seasonality. Quarterly sales can vary based on the timing of revenue recognition on large orders.

Fair value of financial instruments
The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
Level 1 - quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and
Level 3 - unobservable inputs such as inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The Company does not have any financial instruments measured and recognized at fair value that are material. For other financial instruments not recognized at fair value, their fair value is approximately the carrying amount as at November 30, 2025.

- Subsequent event
On January 14, 2026, the Company announced that its controlling shareholder, Velan Holding Co. Ltd. ("Velan Holding"), the sole holder of the Company's multiple voting shares, has agreed to sell its 15,566,567 multiple voting shares and one subordinate voting share (representing approximately 72.1% of the Company's outstanding shares and 92.8% of its aggregate voting rights) to funds managed by Birch Hill Equity Partners Management Inc. ("Birch Hill"), at a price of C$13.10 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of C$203,922,040.80 to Velan Holding and two other entities associated with shareholders of Velan Holding (the "VH Transaction").
Pursuant to a pre-closing reorganization, Velan Holding will, among other things, convert 2,290,075 multiple voting shares into the same number of subordinate voting shares. Therefore, giving effect to such pre-closing reorganization, 13,276,492 multiple voting shares and 2,290,076 subordinate voting shares will be sold to Birch Hill on closing of the VH Transaction (representing approximately 72.1% of the Company's outstanding shares and 91.9% of its aggregate voting rights) (collectively the "VH Transaction Shares").
The VH Transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2026, subject to the receipt of the required regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. The completion of the VH Transaction is not subject to any financing condition or approval by the Company's shareholders.
The Company estimates that transaction related fees will be approximately $12 million, as well as additional change of control triggered costs of approximately $5 million relating mostly to the vesting and accelerated vesting of various incentive plans already in place at the time of the transaction. Of this total amount, $4 million has already been paid or accrued.
