9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act that
are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange
Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure
controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including
our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our
management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal accounting and financial officer, has evaluated the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Annual
Report on Form 10-K. Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide
only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit
relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal accounting
and financial officer have concluded that as of July 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable
assurance level.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined
in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision and with the participation
of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to provide reasonable assurance regarding
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the U.S. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore,
even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and
presentation.
As
of July 31, 2024, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal
financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework
in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Based
on this assessment, our management concluded that, as of July 31, 2024, our internal control over financial reporting was effective at
the reasonable assurance level.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There
has been no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended July 31, 2024. No change in our
internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter
ended July 31, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting,
except for our remediation efforts described above.

60
Family
Relationships and Other Arrangements
There
are no family relationships among our directors and executive officers. There are no arrangements or understandings between or among
our executive officers and directors pursuant to which any director or executive officer was or is to be selected as a director or executive
officer.
Composition
of our Board
Under
our amended articles of incorporation, our Board consists of a minimum of three directors and up to that number which was last set by
ordinary resolution of the shareholders. Our Board is currently comprised of seven directors, and under the Business Corporations Act
(British Columbia) (“BCBCA”), as a reporting issuer, we must have no fewer than three directors. Under the BCBCA, a director
may be removed with or without cause by a resolution passed by at least two-thirds of the votes cast by shareholders present in person
or by proxy at a meeting and who are entitled to vote. The directors are appointed at the annual general meeting of shareholders and
the term of office for each of the directors will expire at the time of our next annual shareholders meeting. Our amended articles of
incorporation provide that, between annual general meetings of our shareholders, the directors may appoint one or more additional directors,
but the number of additional directors may not at any time exceed one-third of the number of directors who held office at the expiration
of the last meeting of our shareholders. Under the BCBCA, there is no minimum number of directors required to be resident Canadians as
defined in the BCBCA.
Director
Term Limits and Other Mechanisms of Board Renewal
Our
Board has not adopted director term limits or other automatic mechanisms of Board renewal. Rather than adopting formal term limits, mandatory
age-related retirement policies and other mechanisms of Board renewal, the nominating and corporate governance committee of our Board
will develop a skills and competencies matrix for our Board as a whole and for individual directors. The nominating and corporate governance
committee conducts a process for the assessment of our board of directors, each committee and each director regarding his or her effectiveness
and contribution, and reports evaluation results to our Board on a regular basis.
Director
Independence
Under
the Nasdaq Rules, independent directors must comprise a majority of a listed company’s board of directors. For purposes of the
Nasdaq Rules, an independent director means a person other than an executive officer or employee of the company who, in the opinion of
the board of directors, has no relationship with the company that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying
out the responsibilities of a director. Under NI 58-101, a director is considered to be independent if he or she is independent within
the meaning of Section 1.4 of National Instrument 52-110- Audit Committees . Section 1.4 of NI 52-110 generally provides that a
director is independent if he or she has no direct or indirect relationship with the issuer which could, in the view of the issuer’s
board of directors, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of the director’s independent judgment.
Our
Board has undertaken a review of the independence of each director. Based on information provided by each director concerning his or
her background, employment and affiliations, our Board has determined that Dr. Gross, Dr. Taub, Mr. Embro-Pantalony, Mr. Schmieg, and
Mr. Bondarenko, representing five of the seven members of our Board, are “independent” as that term is defined under the
Nasdaq Rules. In making this determination, our Board considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director
has with our company and all other facts and circumstances our Board deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the
beneficial ownership of our shares by each non-employee director. Dr. Williams is not independent by virtue of being the Company’s
Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Lustig is not independent by virtue of being a significant securityholder of the Company.
Certain
members of our Board are also members of the boards of other public companies. Our Board has not adopted a director interlock policy,
but is kept informed of other public directorships held by its members.
61
Mandate
of the Board of Directors
Our
Board is responsible for supervising the management of our business and affairs, including providing guidance and strategic oversight
to management. Our Board’s mandate includes, among other things, the following matters:
●

planning, including appointing, training and monitoring senior management;
●
developing
the corporate goals and objectives that management is responsible for meeting and reviewing the performance of our senior officers
against such corporate goals and objectives;
●
taking
steps to satisfy itself as to the integrity of our executive officers and that our executive officers create a culture of integrity
throughout the organization;

reviewing
and approving our code of conduct and reviewing and monitoring compliance with the code of conduct and our enterprise risk management
processes;
●
reviewing
and approving management’s strategic and business plans and our financial objectives, plans and actions, including significant
capital allocations and expenditures; and
●
reviewing
and approving material transactions not in the ordinary course of business.
Meetings
of Independent Directors
Our
Board holds regularly-scheduled quarterly meetings as well as ad hoc meetings from time to time. The independent members of our
Board also meet, as required, without the non-independent directors and members of management after each regularly scheduled board meeting.
A
director who has a material interest in a matter before our Board or any committee on which he or she serves is required to disclose
such interest as soon as the director becomes aware of it. In situations where a director has a material interest in a matter to be considered
by our Board or any committee on which he or she serves, such director may be required to absent himself or herself from the meeting
while discussions and voting with respect to the matter are taking place. Directors are also required to comply with the relevant provisions
of the BCBCA regarding conflicts of interest.
Position
Descriptions
Our
Board has adopted written terms of reference for the chairman which set out his or her key responsibilities, including duties relating
to determining the frequency, dates and locations of meetings and setting Board meeting agendas, chairing Board and shareholder meetings
and carrying out any other or special assignments or any functions as may be requested by our Board or management, as appropriate.
Our
Board has also adopted written terms of reference for each of the committee chairs which set out each of the committee chair’s
key responsibilities, including duties relating to determining the frequency, dates and locations of meetings and setting committee meeting
agendas, chairing committee meetings, reporting to our Board and carrying out any other special assignments or any functions as may be
requested by our Board.
In
addition, our Board, in conjunction with our Chief Executive Officer, will develop and implement a written position description for the
role of our Chief Executive Officer.
62
Orientation
and Continuing Education
We
have implemented an orientation program for new directors under which a new director meets separately with the chairman of our Board,
members of the senior executive team and the secretary.
The
nominating and corporate governance committee will be responsible for coordinating orientation and continuing director development programs
relating to the committee’s mandate. The chairman of our Board will be responsible for overseeing director continuing education
designed to maintain or enhance the skills and abilities of our directors and to ensure that their knowledge and understanding of our
business remains current.
Code
of Conduct
Our
board of directors has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees. We have made the Code of
Ethics available on our website https://briacell.com/corporate/corporate-governance/. We intend to disclose future amendments to, or
waivers of, our Code of Ethics, as and to the extent required by SEC regulations, at the same location on our website identified above
or in public filings.
Monitoring
Compliance with the Code of Conduct
Our
nominating and corporate governance committee will be responsible for reviewing and evaluating the code of conduct at least annually
and will recommend any necessary or appropriate changes to our Board for consideration. The nominating and corporate governance committee
will assist our Board with the monitoring of compliance with the code of conduct, and will be responsible for considering any waivers
therefrom (other than waivers applicable to members of the nominating and corporate governance committee, which shall be considered by
the audit committee, or waivers applicable to our directors or executive officers, which shall be subject to review by our Board as a
whole).
Requirement
for Directors and Officers to Disclose Interest in a Contract or Transaction
In
accordance with the BCBCA, each director and officer must disclose the nature and extent of any interest that he or she has in a material
contract or material transaction whether made or proposed with us, if the director or officer is a party to the contract or transaction,
is a director or an officer or an individual acting in a similar capacity of a party to the contract or transaction, or has a material
interest in a party to the contract or transaction. Subject to certain limited exceptions under the BCBCA, no director may vote on a
resolution to approve a material contract or material transaction which is subject to such disclosure requirement.
As
of the date hereof, except as otherwise disclosed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, to the knowledge of the Board or the management
of the Company, there are no material interests, whether direct or indirect, of any informed person of the Company, any proposed director
of the Company, or any associate or affiliate of any informed person or proposed director, in any transaction since the commencement
of the Company’s most recently completed financial year or in any proposed transaction which has materially affected or would materially
affect the Company of any of its subsidiaries.
Benefits
upon Termination of Employment
The
service contracts with our directors do not provide for any benefits upon termination of employment, other than a “tail”
directors and officers insurance policy.
Complaint
Reporting
In
order to foster a climate of openness and honesty in which any concern or complaint pertaining to a suspected violation of the law, our
code of conduct or any of our policies, or any unethical or questionable act or behavior, our code of conduct will require that our employees
promptly report the violation or suspected violation. In order to ensure that violations or suspected violations can be reported without
fear of retaliation, harassment or an adverse employment consequence, we will adopt a whistleblowing policy which will contain procedures
that are aimed to facilitate confidential, anonymous submissions of complaints by our directors, officers, employees and others.
Committees
of the Board
We
currently have an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee, with each committee
having a written charter.
63
Audit
Committee
Our
Audit Committee is currently comprised of Vaughn C. Embro-Pantalony, Martin Schmieg and Jane A. Gross, and chaired by Mr. Embro-Pantalony.
Our Board has determined that each of Mr. Schmieg and Mr. Embro-Pantalony is financially literate and meets the independence requirements
for directors, including the heightened independence standards for members of the audit committee under Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange

the Nasdaq Rules, “financially literate” within the meaning of NI 52-110, and a “financial expert” as defined

Compensation
Committee
Our
compensation committee is comprised of Mr. Embro-Pantalony, Mr. Marc Lustig and Mr. Schmieg and is chaired by Mr. Schmieg. The Compensation Committee
is appointed by the Board to assist in promoting a culture of integrity throughout the Company, to assist the Board in setting director
and senior executive compensation, and to develop and submit to the Board recommendations with respect to other employee benefits as
the Compensation Committee sees fit. In the performance of its duties, the Compensation Committee is guided by the following principles:
●
offering
competitive compensation to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified executives in order for the Company to meet its goals;
and
●
acting
in the interests of the Company and the shareholders by being fiscally responsible.
The
Board relies on the knowledge and experience of the members of the Compensation Committee to set appropriate levels of compensation for
senior officers. Neither the Company nor the Compensation Committee currently has, or has had at any time since incorporation, any contractual
arrangement with any executive compensation consultant who has a role in determining or recommending the amount or form of senior officer
compensation.
65
When
determining compensation payable, the Compensation Committee considers both external and internal data. External data includes
general market conditions and well as information regarding compensation paid to directors, CEOs and CFOs of companies of similar
size and at a similar stage of development in the industry. Internal data includes annual reviews of the performance of the
directors, CEO and CFO in light of the Company’s corporate objectives and considers other factors that may have impacted the
Company’s success in achieving its objectives. During the year ended July 31, 2024, the Compensation Committee held two
meetings in person or through conference calls.
Nominating
and Corporate Governance Committee
The
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is appointed by the Board to assist in fulfilling its corporate governance responsibilities
under applicable laws. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for, among other things, developing the Company’s
approach to governance issues and establishing sound corporate governance practices that are in the interests of shareholders and that
contribute to effective and efficient decision-making.
Our
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is currently comprised of Mr. Marc Lustig and Dr. Taub and is chaired by Mr. Lustig. During
the year ended July 31, 2024, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held one meeting.
Exculpation,
Insurance and Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Under
the BCBCA, a company may indemnify: (i) a current or former director or officer of that company; (ii) a current or former director or
officer of another corporation if, at the time such individual held such office, the corporation was an affiliate of the company, or
if such individual held such office at the company’s request; or (iii) an individual who, at the request of the company, held,
or holds, an equivalent position in another entity (an “indemnifiable person”) against all costs, charges and expenses, including
an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by him or her in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative
or other legal proceeding or investigative action (whether current, threatened, pending or completed) in which he or she is involved
because of that person’s position as an indemnifiable person, unless: (i) the individual did not act honestly and in good faith
with a view to the best interests of such company or the other entity, as the case may be; or (ii) in the case of a proceeding other
than a civil proceeding, the individual did not have reasonable grounds for believing that the individual’s conduct was lawful.
A company cannot indemnify an indemnifiable person if it is prohibited from doing so under its articles or by applicable law. A company
may pay, as they are incurred in advance of the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, the expenses actually and reasonably incurred
by an indemnifiable person in respect of that proceeding only if the indemnifiable person has provided an undertaking that, if it is
ultimately determined that the payment of expenses was prohibited, the indemnifiable person will repay any amounts advanced. Subject
to the aforementioned prohibitions on indemnification, a company must, after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, pay the
expenses actually and reasonably incurred by an indemnifiable person in respect of such eligible proceeding if such indemnifiable person
has not been reimbursed for such expenses, and was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the outcome of such eligible proceeding
or was substantially successful on the merits in the outcome of such eligible proceeding. On application from an indemnifiable person,
a court may make any order the court considers appropriate in respect of an eligible proceeding, including the indemnification of penalties
imposed or expenses incurred in any such proceedings and the enforcement of an indemnification agreement. As permitted by the BCBCA,
under Article 21.1, we are required to indemnify our directors and former directors (and such individual’s respective heirs and
legal representatives) and we will indemnify any such person to the extent permitted by the BCBCA .
The
BCBCA provides certain protections under Part 5 - Management, Division 5 - Indemnification of Directors and Officers and Payment
of Expenses, to our current and former directors and officers, as well as other eligible parties defined in Section 159 of the BCBCA
(the “Eligible Parties”, each an “Eligible Party”). The Company will indemnify the Eligible Parties, to the fullest
extent permitted by law and subject to certain limitations listed in Section 163 of the BCBCA, against any proceeding in which an Eligible
Party or any of the heirs and personal or other legal representatives of the Eligible Party, by reason of the Eligible Party being or
having been a director or officer of, or holding or having held a position equivalent to that of a director or officer of, the Company
or an associated corporation (a) is or may be joined as a party, or (b) is or may be liable for or in respect of a judgment, penalty
or fine in, or expenses related tom, the proceeding.
66
We
maintain insurance policies relating to certain liabilities that our directors and officers may incur in such capacity.

Based
solely on a Schedule 13G filed with the SEC on September 16, 2024. The Schedule 13G was filed by CVI Investments, Inc. and
Heights Capital Management, Inc. According to the Schedule 13G, as of September 16, 2024, CVI Investments, Inc. and Heights Capital
Management, Inc. have shared voting power and shared dispositive power with regard to 2,608,695 common shares, representing approximately
7.28% of the outstanding common shares.
Section
16(A) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section
16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity
securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders
are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based
on a review of the copies of such forms received, we believe that during the fiscal year ending July 31, 2024, all filing requirements
applicable to our officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were complied with, except for one late Form 4 filing for
Marc Lustig with respect to his purchase of common shares and warrants in our May 2024 offering.

ITEM
13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Other

which the amount involved in the transaction exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of our total assets at year-end for
the last two completed fiscal years, and in which any of our directors, executive officers or, to our knowledge, beneficial owners of
more than 5% of our capital stock or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons had or will have a direct or
indirect material interest, other than equity and other compensation, termination, change in control and other arrangements, which are
described elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Other than as set forth below, we are not a party to a current related party
transaction, and no transaction is currently proposed, in which the amount of the transaction exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of
the average of our total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years and in which a related person had or will have a
direct or indirect material interest.
On
May 17, 2024 we issued and sold to a director 902,935 common shares together with warrants to purchase up to 902,935 common shares at
a combined purchase price of $2.215 per share and accompanying warrant. The warrants will be exercisable six months from the date of
issuance at an exercise price of $2.11 per share and will expire on the five year anniversary of the initial exercise date.
Director
Independence
Our
board of directors undertook a review of the independence of our directors and considered whether any director has a relationship with
us that could compromise that director’s ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out that director’s responsibilities.
Our board of directors has affirmatively determined that Dr. Gross, Dr. Taub. Mr. Bondarenko, Mr. Empro-Pantalony, Mr. Lustig, and Mr.
Schmieg are each an “independent director,” as defined under the Nasdaq rules.

F- 1
REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Board of Directors and Shareholders of BriaCell Therapeutics Corp.
Opinion
on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of BriaCell Therapeutics Corp. (the Company) as at July 31, 2024 and 2023,
and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity (deficit), and cash
flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended July 31, 2024, 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 consolidated financial position at the
Company as of July 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its consolidated operations and its consolidated cash flows for each of the
years in the two-year period ended July 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
Material
Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As
discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has an
accumulated deficit that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in
regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis
for Opinion
These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance
with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part
of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether
due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence
regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTE
1: GENERAL AND GOING CONCERN
a.
BriaCell
Therapeutics Corp. (“BriaCell” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British
Columbia) on July 26, 2006 and is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbol “BCT”. The
Company also trades on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbols “BCTX” and “BCTXW”.
b.
BriaCell
is an immuno-oncology biotechnology company. The Company is currently advancing its Bria-IMT targeted immunotherapy program against
end-stage breast cancer to Phase 3 study which has been approved by the FDA. BriaCell is also developing a personalized off-the-shelf
immunotherapy, Bria-OTS™, and a soluble CD80 protein therapeutic which acts both as a stimulator of the immune system as well
as an immune checkpoint inhibitor.
c.
Going concern
The
Company continues to devote substantially all of its efforts toward research and development activities. In the course of such
activities, the Company has sustained operating losses and expects such losses to continue in the foreseeable future. The
Company’s accumulated deficit as of July 31, 2024 was $ 85,443,697 (July
31, 2023 - $ 80,652,231 )
and negative cash flows from operating activities during the year ended July 31, 2024 was $ 24,126,128
(July 31, 2023 - $ 23,744,860 ).
The Company is planning to finance its operations by exploring additional sources of capital and financing, while
managing its existing working capital resources. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its
ability to attain future profitable operations and to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations arising from normal
business operations when they come due. The uncertainty of the Company’s ability to raise such financial capital casts
substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not
be able to continue as a going concern. See note 15(c,d) for details of an $ 8.5
million and $ 5.0 million offering that was completed in September 2024 and October 2024, respectively.
d.
The
Company has two wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries: (i) BriaCell Therapeutics Corp. (“BTC”),
which was incorporated in April 3, 2014, under the laws of the state of Delaware, and (ii)
BTC has a wholly-owned subsidiary, Sapientia Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Sapientia”),
which was incorporated in September 20, 2012, under the laws of the state of Delaware. The
Company also has one Canadian subsidiary: BriaPro Therapeutics Corp, (“BriaPro”)
which was incorporated on May 15, 2023, under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).
See also note 1e. (Sapientia and BTC and BriaPro together, the “Subsidiaries”)
The
Company has one operating segment and reporting unit.
e.
On
August 31, 2023, the Company closed a plan of arrangement spinout transaction (the “Arrangement”) pursuant to which certain
pipeline assets of the Company, including Bria-TILsRx™ and protein kinase C delta (PKCδ) inhibitors for multiple indications
including cancer (the “BriaPro Assets”), were spun-out to BriaPro Therapeutics Corp. (“BriaPro”), resulting
in a 2/3rd owned subsidiary of the Company with the remaining 1/3rd held by BriaCell shareholders (“BriaCell Shareholders”).
Pursuant
to the terms of the Arrangement, BriaPro has acquired the entire right and interest in and to the BriaPro Assets in consideration for
the issuance by BriaPro to the Company of BriaPro common shares. Under the terms of the Arrangement, for each BriaCell share held immediately
prior to closing, BriaCell Shareholders receive one (1) common share of BriaPro, and one (1) new common share of BriaCell (retiring their
old share) having the same terms and characteristics as the existing BriaCell common shares. The Company will remain listed on the NASDAQ
Stock Market and Toronto Stock Exchange, and BriaPro is an unlisted reporting issuer in Canada.
Immediately
following the closing of the Arrangement, the Company controls 2/3rd of the BriaPro common shares representing approximately 66.6 % of
the issued and outstanding common shares of BriaPro.
As
a result of the Arrangement, there are 47,945,178 BriaPro common shares issued and outstanding. The Company now beneficially owns or
controls approximately 31,963,452 BriaPro common shares, representing 2/3rd of the issued and outstanding BriaPro common shares.
Pursuant
to the Arrangement, each BriaCell warrant in issuance at the time of the Arrangement shall, in accordance with its terms, entitle
the holder thereof to receive, upon the exercise thereof, one BriaCell Share and one BriaPro Share for the original exercise
price. Warrants issued by the Company, subsequent to the Arrangement are not subject to the terms above.
Upon
the exercise of BriaCell Warrants, BriaCell shall, as agent for BriaPro, collect and pay to BriaPro an amount for each one (1) BriaPro
Share so issued that is equal to the exercise price under the BriaCell Warrant multiplied by the fair market value of one (1) BriaPro
Share at the Effective Date divided by the total fair market value of one (1) BriaCell Share and one (1) BriaPro Share at the Effective
Date (“BriaPro Warrant Shares”).
Pursuant
to the Arrangement, all Briacell option holders received the same amount of BriaPro options (“BriaPro Option”) and under
the BriaPro incentive plan. The exercise price of the BriaCell options was apportioned between the BriaCell options and the BriaPro options,
as follows:
Each
one (1) BriaPro Option to acquire one (1) Share shall have an exercise price equal to the product obtained by multiplying the original
exercise price of the BriaCell Option by the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the fair market value of a BriaPro Share at the Effective
Date by (B) the aggregate fair market value of a BriaCell Share and a BriaPro Share at the Effective Date.
Pursuant
to the Arrangement, all BriaCell Restricted Shares Units (“RSU”) holders received the same amount of BriaPro RSU’s
under the BriaPro incentive plan.
Transition
Services Agreement
On
August 31, 2023, the Company and BriaPro executed a transition services agreement (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which BriaCell
will provide certain research and development and head office services (the “Services”) to BriaPro for a fixed monthly fee
of $ 20,000 .
Briacell
and BriaPro acknowledged the transitional nature of the Services and accordingly, as promptly as practicable, BriaPro agreed to use commercially
reasonable efforts to transition each Service to its own internal organization or to obtain alternate third party providers to provide
the Services.
In
accordance with US GAAP’s Accounting Standards Codification 505 “Equity”, the Arrangement was determined to be a spinoff
of nonmonetary assets which did not constitute a business. However, since the assets were transferred to an entity under the Company’s
control, the assets is being recorded on the Company’s basis (carry value) and not at fair market value.
NOTE
2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a.
Basis of presentation of the financial statements :
The
Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the United States generally accepted accounting
principles (U.S. GAAP) as set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification
(ASC).

NOTE
2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)
b.
Use of estimates, assumptions and judgements :
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company’s management believes
that the estimates, judgment and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates,
judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements,
and the reported amount of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Going
Concern
Preparation
of the consolidated financial statement on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and payments of liabilities
in the ordinary course of business. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be unable to realize the carrying
value of its assets, including its intangible assets and to meet its liabilities as they become due.
Warrants
and options
The
Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of options at the grant date, and the warrant liability
at the grant date and each reporting period date. The key assumptions used in the model are the expected future volatility in the price
of the Company’s shares and the expected life of the warrants.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 740, Income Taxes (“FASB ASC 740”),
on a tax jurisdictional basis. The Company files income tax returns in the United States.
Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and the consolidated financial statements reported amounts using enacted tax rates and laws in effect in the year
in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when it is determined
to be more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Provision
for Income Taxes. Management accounts for income taxes by estimating future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax and
book basis of assets and liabilities considering the provisions of enacted tax laws. The application of income tax law is inherently
complex. Laws and regulations in this area are voluminous and are often ambiguous. As such, management is required to make many subjective
assumptions and judgments regarding the Corporation’s income tax exposures, including judgments in determining the amount and timing
of recognition of the resulting deferred tax assets and liabilities, including projections of future taxable income. Interpretations
of and guidance surrounding income tax laws and regulations change over time. As such, changes in management’s subjective assumptions
and judgments can materially affect amounts recognized in the Consolidated balance sheet and Consolidated Statements of Operations and
Comprehensive Loss
Intangible
assets
Intangible
assets are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if there is an indication of impairment. The carrying value of intangibles
with definite lives is reviewed each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If there are indications
of impairment, the impairment analysis is completed and if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is
impaired and impairment loss is recognized.
Prepaid expenses
The Company has prepaid certain expenses in respect of its pivotal phase
III trial and estimates the period over which such expenses will be incurred. As of July 31, 2024, the Company revised its estimate of
the time to completion in respect of this trial. Amounts estimated to be expenses in more than 12 months have been classified to long-term
prepaid expenses.
The
useful life of property and equipment
Property
and equipment are depreciated over their useful lives. Useful lives are based on management’s estimates of the period that the
assets will be used which are periodically reviewed for continued appropriateness. Changes to estimates can result in significant variations
in the amounts charged to the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss in specific periods.
Investment
equity method
Investments
in entities over which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest but has significant influence are accounted for using
the equity method, with the Company’s share of losses reported in the loss from equity method investments on the statements of
operation and comprehensive loss. The Company has a 51.2 % interest in BC Therapeutics. Management evaluates whether it has control over the investee in accordance with the guidance of ASC 810, which requires judgment to
assess factors such as power over significant activities of the investee, exposure to variable returns, and the ability to affect those
returns. Based on this evaluation, management determines whether control or significant influence is present for accounting purposes.
c.
Principal of consolidation :
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its Subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated upon consolidation.
d.
Consolidated financial statements in U.S dollars :
The
functional currency is the currency that best reflects the economic environment in which the Company and its subsidiary operates and
conducts their transactions. The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries
is the U.S. dollar.
Accordingly,
monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are remeasured into U.S. dollars at each reporting period end in
accordance with ASC No. 830 “Foreign Currency Matters.” All transaction gains and losses of the remeasured monetary balance
sheet items are reflected in the statements of operations as financing income or expenses as appropriate.

e.
Cash and cash equivalents :
Cash
equivalents are short-term highly liquid deposits that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less,
at the date acquired, and investments with maturities of longer than three months where the investment can be liquidated before the maturity
date without a significant penalty.
f.
Equity method investments :
Investments
in entities over which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest but has significant influence, are accounted for using
the equity method, with the Company’s share of losses reported in loss from equity method investments on the statements of operation
and comprehensive loss. Equity method investments are recorded at cost, plus the Company’s share of undistributed earnings or losses,
and impairment, if any, within interest in equity investees on the statements of financial position.
g.
Property and E quipment, net :
Property and equipment with individual values of over $ 2,500 are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets at the following annual rates:
SCHEDULE

h.
Intangible assets, net :
Separately
acquired intangible assets are measured on initial recognition at cost including directly attributable costs. Intangible assets acquired
in a business combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date. Expenditures relating to internally generated intangible
assets, excluding capitalized development costs, are recognized in profit or loss when incurred.
Intangible
assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their useful lives and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.
The evaluation is performed at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other
assets and liabilities. Recoverability of these group of assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted
cash flows the group of assets is expected to generate. If such review indicates that the carrying amount of intangible assets is not
recoverable, the carrying amount of such assets is reduced to fair value.
The
amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset are reviewed at least at each year end.
Intangible
assets with indefinite useful lives are not systematically amortized and are tested for impairment annually, or whenever there is an
indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The useful life of these assets is reviewed annually to determine whether their
indefinite life assessment continues to be supportable. If the events and circumstances do not continue to support the assessment, the
change in the useful life assessment from indefinite to finite life is accounted for prospectively as a change in accounting estimate
and on that date the asset is tested for impairment. Commencing from that date, the asset is amortized systematically over its useful
life.

i.
Research and Development expenses :
Research
and development expenses are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss when incurred. Research and
development expenses consist of intellectual property, development and production expenditures.
Government grants are recognized
when there is reasonable assurance that the grants will be received, and the Company will comply with the conditions. The grants are
offset against the related research and development expenditure.
j.
Fair value of financial instruments :
The
accounting guidance for fair value provides a framework for measuring fair value, clarifies the definition of fair value, and expands
disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to
transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The accounting guidance
establishes a three-tiered hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value as follows:
Level
1
—
Quoted
prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy
gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
Level
2
—
Observable
inputs that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets but corroborated by market data.
Level
3
—
Unobservable
inputs are used when little or no market data are available.
The
carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, subscriptions receipts, trade payables and accrued expenses and other payables
approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of such instruments.
The
carrying amount of warrant liabilities is recorded at the fair value at each reporting period.

k.
Leases :
The
Company accounts for leases according to ASC 842, “Leases”. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease and the classification
of that lease at inception based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether the Company
obtains the right to substantially all the economic benefits from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether the Company
has a right to direct the use of the asset. An ROU asset represents the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease
liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease agreement. An ROU asset is measured
based on the discounted present value of the remaining lease payments, plus any initial direct costs incurred and prepaid lease payments,
excluding lease incentives. The lease liability is measured at lease commencement date based on the discounted present value of the remaining
lease payments. The implicit rate within the operating leases is generally not determinable, therefore the Company uses the Incremental
Borrowing Rate (“IBR”) based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease
payments. The Company’s IBR is estimated to approximate the interest rate for collateralized borrowing with similar terms and payments
and in economic environments where the leased asset is located. An option to extend the lease is considered in connection with determining
the ROU asset and lease liability when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. An option to terminate is
considered unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will not exercise the option.
The
Company elected the practical expedient for lease agreements with a term of twelve months or less and does not recognize right-of-use
(“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities in respect of those agreements. The Company also elected the practical expedient to
not separate lease and non-lease components for its leases.
l.
Share-based compensation :
The
Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC No. 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”,
which requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model.
The value of the award is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods, which is the vesting period of the respective
award, on a straight-line basis when the only condition to vesting is continued service.
The
Company has selected the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as the most appropriate fair value method for its option awards. The Company
recognizes forfeitures of equity-based awards as they occur. Restricted share units use the share price on the grant date to determine
the fair value of the restricted share unit award.

m.
Income Taxes :
The
Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, which prescribes the use of the liability method
whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax
bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are
expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value, if
needed.
ASC
740 offers a two-step approach for recognizing and measuring a liability for uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the
tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more
likely than not that, on an evaluation of the technical merits, the tax position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of
any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50%
likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. As of July 31, 2024, and 2023 no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was recorded
as a result of ASC 740.
n.
Basic and diluted net loss per Share :
The
Company’s basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted-average
number of shares of ordinary shares outstanding for the period, without consideration of potentially dilutive securities. The diluted
net loss per share is calculated by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period using the treasury
share method or the if-converted method based on the nature of such securities. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss
per share in periods when the effects of potentially dilutive ordinary shares are anti-dilutive.
o.
Recently issued and adopted accounting standards :
As
an “emerging growth company,” the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) allows the Company to delay
adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to
private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period under the JOBS Act. The adoption dates discussed below
reflects this election.
1.
In July 2023, the FASB issued 2023-03 —
Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205), Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220),
Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Equity (Topic 505), and Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718):
Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 120, SEC Staff Announcement at the March 24, 2022, EITF
Meeting, and Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 6.B, Accounting Series Release 280 — General Revision of Regulation S-X: Income
or Loss Applicable to Common Stock (SEC Update). The adoption of this standard on August 1, 2023, did not result in amended
disclosures in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, nor did this standard have a material impact the
Company’s results of operations.
2.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 - Income Taxes (Topic
740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This standard modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to require entities
to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation, the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or
benefit, and income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations. ASU 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose their income tax
payments to international, federal, state, and local jurisdictions. The ASU is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2024,
but early adoption is permitted. This ASU should be applied on a prospective basis, although retrospective application is permitted. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements and disclosures.
3.
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01 - Compensation—Stock
Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards. This standard clarifies whether profits interest
and similar awards fall within the scope of stock-based compensation guidance as defined in ASC Topic 718, introducing examples to demonstrate
this. The ASU includes scenarios where profits interest awards are classified as equity instruments or liability awards and situations
where they fall outside ASC Topic 718, being accounted for under ASC Topic 710. The ASU is effective for years beginning after December
15, 2024, but early adoption is permitted. This ASU should be applied on a prospective basis, although retrospective application is permitted.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements and disclosures.

4: INVESTMENT IN BC THERAPEUTICS INC.
On
December 21, 2021, the Company and BC Therapeutics, Inc. (“BC Therapeutics” or “the Investee”) entered a share
purchase agreement (“SPA”), pursuant to which the Company initially provided a loan of $ 300,000 to BC Therapeutics, with no interest to be paid. Subsequently, in accordance with the SPA, this
loan was converted into an equity investment in BC Therapeutics at a rate of $ 1.25 per share, resulting in a 37.5 % ownership interest
(“Initial Investment”).
Pursuant to the SPA (“Initial Investment”), Briacell also received two options to invest an additional
$ 225,000 per option at $ 1.25 per BC Therapeutics share. The first option expires on February 15, 2024 (“First BC Therapeutics Option”)
and the second option expires on June 30, 2024 (“Second BC Therapeutics Options”, together, the “BC Therapeutic Options”).
In accordance with ASC 321 and ASC 815, the BC Therapeutics Options were valued at $ 76,350 in accordance with the Black Scholes Option
Price Model, using the following assumptions: Share price: $ 1.25 , Exercise price: $ 1.25 , Dividend yield: 0 %, Risk free interest rate: 4.902 %, Volatility: 100 %.
BC
Therapeutics has a board of four representatives, with two representatives appointed by BriaCell and two representatives appointed by
the existing shareholders. All significant decisions related to BC Therapeutics require the approval of at least a majority of the board
members.
On
February 1, 2024, the Company exercised the First BC Therapeutics Option and currently holds 51.2 %
of BC Therapeutics. The value of the BC Therapeutics Options was updated to consider the effect of the exercise of the First BC
Therapeutics Option. Consequently, the fair value of the First BC Therapeutics Option, $ 35,964 ,
has been reclassified to the investment. See also note 15(a) for details of transactions subsequent to the year end.
In
accordance with ASC 810, the Company continues to account for the investment under the equity method of accounting as the Company does
not exercise control over BC Therapeutics.

The
Company classifies its cash equivalents and the liability in respect of publicly traded warrants within Level 1 because they are valued using the
quoted market prices in active markets.
The
fair value of the warrant liability for non-public warrants is measured using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that
are observable for the liability either directly or indirectly, and thus are classified as Level 2 financial instruments.

f. The Company has net deferred tax assets relating primarily to net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards, research and development,
and share issuance costs. Subject to certain limitations, the Company may use these deferred tax assets to offset taxable income in future
periods. Due to the Company’s history of losses and uncertainty regarding future earnings, a full valuation allowance has been recorded
against the Company’s deferred tax assets, as it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. The net change in
the total valuation allowance for the year ended July 31, 2024, was $ 1,792,500 .

14: BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER SHARE
Basic
net loss per ordinary share is computed by dividing net loss for each reporting period by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares
outstanding during each period. Diluted net loss per ordinary share is computed by dividing net loss for each reporting period by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, plus dilutive potential ordinary shares considered outstanding
during the period, in accordance with ASC No. 260-10 “Earnings Per Share”. The Company experienced a loss in the year ended
July 31, 2024 and 2023; hence all potentially dilutive ordinary shares were excluded due to their anti-dilutive effect.
