Significant
Accounting Policies
a. Nature
of business/basis of preparation
The
Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”). Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. The Company’s
management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These Company’s Unaudited
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto
included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2023.

Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements
that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required
to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding
executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory

Table of Contents
b. Foreign
currency translation
i.
Translation of foreign subsidiary
The
accounts of the foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at year end exchange rates
and income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the year. Translation adjustments resulting
from fluctuations in the exchange rates are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of stockholders'
equity.
ii. Exposed to currency variations
in subsidiary
The primary operations and functional
currency of a subsidiary's business is in South African Rand. Due to the emerging market nature of this currency the spread volatility
of the currency low and high can be material during a year. The conversion of the currency from Rand to reporting currency US Dollar
can cause significant up or downward trends that is recorded in reserves under the heading accumulated comprehensive income.
c. Accounts
Receivables
Allowance
based on a review and management evaluation
Accounts
receivables are presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, net of estimated uncollectible amounts. The carrying amounts
of trade accounts receivable and unbilled accounts receivable represent the maximum credit risk exposure of these assets. On a quarterly
basis, in accordance with FASB ASC 326, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASC 326"), the Company evaluates
the collectability of outstanding accounts receivable balances to determine an allowance for credit losses that
reflects its best estimate of the lifetime expected credit losses. The allowance for credit loss is based on an assessment of past events,
current economic conditions, and forecasts of future events. Individual uncollectible accounts are written off against the allowance
when collection of the individual accounts appears doubtful.
d. Revenue
recognition
The
Company generate its revenues from the sale of high-quality medical devices which are self- manufactured through in-depth research and
development. The products developed are sold via a network of distributors in many parts of the world and through a direct sales force
in South Africa.
Our clients are billed based on a
pricelist that are agreed upon in each customer contract, orders are shipped on a per order basis from our warehouse with Free-on-Board
Inco terms, therefore our client assumes the risk of the sale at point of invoice. The Company has two operating segments, Inside the
United States of America and Outside the United States of America, these sales are split by these territories and further segregated
into the specific line of product sold into these territories.
The
Company has no contract assets or liabilities representing accrued revenues that have not yet been billed to the customers due to certain
contractual terms, because of the fact that orders are placed, invoiced and shipped on a per order basis and when our clients require
additional inventory. All revenue is recognized at a specific point and time.
F- 6
Table of Contents
Revenues are recognized when control
of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects
to receive in exchange for those products. The Company apply the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of
revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its arrangements:
• identify
the contract with a customer,
• identify
the performance obligations in the contract,
• determine
the transaction price,
• allocate
the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract, and
• recognize
revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.
Under
ASC Topic 606, the Company estimate the transaction price, including variable consideration, at the commencement of the contract and
recognizes revenue at point of sale when risks and rewards are transferred to the customer. There are no contract revenue agreements
that would need to be recognized over time and the point of risks and rewards being transferred is very clear.
Payment Terms
Our
payment terms vary per segments; export sales made from within South Africa are subject to prepayment, where accounts are granted, they
generally have payment terms of 30 days from statement and sales made inside the United States of America are 45 to 60 days The
time between a customer’s payment and the receipt of funds is not significant. Our contracts with customers do not result in significant
obligations associated with returns, refunds or warranties. Our payment terms are generally fixed and do not include variable revenues.
e. Research
and development
All
research and development expenses are expensed as incurred and are included in operating expenses.
f. Earnings
per share
Basic
earnings per share
Basic
earnings (loss) per share are computed based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during each year.
g. New
accounting pronouncements
In
November 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2019-11,
Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses which amends ("ASU") No. 2016-13 Measurement of Credit
Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13") and modifies or replaces existing models for impairment of trade and other receivables,
debt securities, loans, beneficial interests held as assets, purchased-credit impaired financial assets and other instruments. The new
standard requires entities to measure expected losses over the life of the asset and recognize an allowance for estimated credit losses
upon recognition of the financial instrument. For the Company, this standard is effective December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted.
Entities are required to apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning
of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The impact of this was assessed on accounts receivable and loans receivable,
and the impact was not material for this reporting period.
F- 7
Table of Contents
Allowance
for Credit Losses – Accounts Receivable
The
allowance for credit losses required under ASC 326 is a valuation account that is deducted from the accounts receivables’ amortized
cost basis on the Company’s Unaudited Co ndensed
consolidated balance sheets. Our accounts receivables are generated from the sales revenue. The Company elected to estimate expected
losses using an analytical model based on methods that utilize the accounts receivable aging schedule. This analytical model incorporates
historical loss activity, geographic location, customer-specific information, collection terms and customer amounts. The Company evaluates
the estimated allowance on an aggregate basis as each individual account receivable shares similar risk characteristics. Upon adoption
of ASC 326 using the modified retrospective transition method and as of August 31, 2023, the Company determined that the allowance for
credit losses, if any, is immaterial as of adoption date and the Company will continue to evaluate the accounts receivable portfolio
on an on-going basis.
The
Company sells a significant amount to DISA Vascular Distribution trading as DISA Life Sciences. For the quarter ending August 31, 2023
33 %
(August 31, 2022: 64 % )
and for the six months ended August 31, 2023 29 %
(August 31,2022: 66 % )
of the Company's total revenue is derived from this single customer in the distribution environment in South Africa.
No allowance for doubtful accounts
was recognized as of August 31, 2023 and February 28, 2023, respectively. Exports out of South Africa is done on a pre-payment basis
with exception of one customer whose account was settled in full post quarter end. Sales inside South Africa is conducted through DISA
Lifesciences whose account was settled in full after the end of the quarter. All sales in the United States of America were made for
the first time during the first quarter and fully collected post quarter within terms.
All
other ASUs issued and not yet effective for the three months ended August 31, 2023, and through the date of this report, were assessed
and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on the Company’s financial position or results
of operations.
h. Reporting
segments
The
Company has two main reportable segments that comprise the structure used by the Company executive committee (Exco) to make key operating
decisions and assess performance. The Company’s reportable segments are operating segments that are differentiated by the activities
that each undertakes and the products they manufacture and market (referred to as business segments). Each business utilizes the same
technology, manufacturing and marketing strategies, and differ by geographical region only.
The Company evaluates the performance
of its reportable segments based on operating profit after re- measurement items. The Company accounts for inter-segment sales and transfers
as if the sales and transfers were entered into under the same terms and conditions as would have been entered into in a market-related
transaction.
The financial information of the Company’s
reportable segments is reported to the Exco for the purpose of making decisions about allocating resources to the segment and assessing
its performance.
Operating segments are reported
in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Exco who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing the
performance of the operating segments.
Medinotec Inc's qualitative application
of the segmental accounting policy
The Exco is the Company’s chief
operating decision-maker. Management has determined the operating segments based on the information reviewed by the Exco for the purposes
of allocating resources and assessing performance.
The
Exco considers the business from a mainly a geographic perspective since products sold in all territories are the same. Geographically,
management considers the performance within the United States of America and Outside the United States of America. From a product sales
perspective, management separately considers the activities in these geographies on a segmental basis. The Company manufactures and sells
medical devices in two divisions namely Sales inside the United States of America (Domestic) and Sales outside the United States of America
(International).

Fair
Value Measurements
The
Company reports all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair
value in the Unaudited Cond ensed
Consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable
inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The authoritative guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the
inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable
inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 — Inputs are quoted prices
(unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 — Inputs are observable,
unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets
or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for
substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities.
Level 3 — Inputs are unobservable
inputs for the asset or liability.
The level in the fair value hierarchy
within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement in its entirety.
At August 31, 2023 and February 28,
2023, all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable were short term in nature,
and their carrying amounts approximate fair value. Our current and long-term debt arrangements are classified as level 2 financial instruments.

Innovative outcomes

605,130
In furtherance of our efforts to
expand into the United States of America, on September 16, 2022, we entered into an unsecured revolving line of credit to lend Innovative
Outcomes, Inc. up to $ 750,000 , of which
$ 585,000 has been drawn as
of August 31,2023.
Innovative Outcomes is a company
in Little Rock, Arkansas, and we plan to enter into an arrangement with the entity for the marketing and distribution of various products.
The funds from our line of credit will be used by Innovative Outcomes for setting up infrastructure for the products, including a headquarters
for sales representatives, an administrative hub and customer services to handle all back-office items, setting up a sales system and
marketing program, warehousing of inventory in a licensed warehouse, setting up distribution capabilities, marketing activities and training
activities.
•
Maximum allowed according to Revolving Credit Agreement:
$ 750,000
•
Amounts
advanced shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to eight percent ( 8.0 % ), compounded monthly. In the event of a default, any amounts advanced will bear interest at (12%) per annum .
•
Maturity: September
30, 2024
•
Unsecured
•
Amount drawn: $ 585,000

Table of Contents
The
entity considers the performance of the loan to Innovative Outcomes against the development of the related infrastructure to support
sales into the inside the United States of America Sales segment and then determines the allowance for credit loan losses. Since the
segment showed significant growth over the past quarter and the growth is expected to continue in the United States of America sales
territory management deems this loan made for the intention of building the United States of America market as being fully performing
at the moment. There has also not been any material breach in the contract for the quarter under review and therefore the loan is classified
as fully performing at the moment and no credit loss is provided against it. Management conducts this assessment once a quarter.
Loans
payable
Loans
from related parties
Loans
payable consist of a $ 2,238,974
unsecured loan from the prior parent entity of
DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited incorporated in South Africa called Minoan Medical Proprietary Limited. This loan originated to fund
working capital and capex expansions of DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited during the developmental and startup phase. After the acquisition
of DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited Company assumed this liability. The Company has a period of 3 years after the IPO date or a date
at which the company starts trading on a recognizable exchange to repay the loan . During these 3
years the loan will carry interest at the prevailing
prime lending rate of the time.
The
prevailing prime lending rate on the quarter ending August 31, 2023 in South Africa is 11.75 % .
The
interest charged for the quarter was $ 61,054 and a 1% movement in the interest rates constitutes a value of $5,598 on a quarterly basis .
The interest rate chargeable is a guideline determined by the South African Reserve Bank and gets utilized by financial institutions
to determine the financial gain they may derive from a loan. The Prime rate is therefore an arm’s length transaction and justifiable
rate that can be applied to a loan within the borders of the Republic of South Africa and therefore complies with the arm’s length
definitions in ASC 850-10-50-6.
The
loan can be settled in cash or any other form of equivalent, it’s important to note that the South African Reserve Bank would need
to approve any settlement made by Medinotec Inc on behalf of its subsidiary DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited.
Minoan
Medical Proprietary Limited’s ultimate beneficial owner is the CEO of the Company Dr. Gregory Vizirgianakis and is used to hold
his medical investments and exports of which DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited was one of these investments before it got transferred
into the Company. Pieter van Niekerk (CFO) also serves as a director on Minoan Medical Proprietary Limited.
Operational
charges are charged to the Minoan Medical loan account.

b. Litigation
From time to time, the Company may
become involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business and may be subject to third-party infringement claims.
In the normal course of business,
the Company may agree to indemnify third parties with whom they enter into contractual relationships, including customers, lessors, and
parties to other transactions with the Company, with respect to certain matters. The Company has agreed, under certain conditions, to
hold these third parties harmless against specified losses, such as those arising from a breach of representations or covenants, other
third-party claims that the Company’s products, when used for their intended purposes infringe the intellectual property rights
of such other third parties, or other claims made against certain parties. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount
of liability under these indemnification obligations due to the Company’s limited history of prior indemnification claims and the
unique facts and circumstances that are likely to be involved in each claim.
From time to time, the Company is
subject to various claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that any liability of the Condensed Consolidated
entities that may arise out of or with respect to these matters will not materially adversely affect the financial position, results
of operations, or cash flows of the Company.
At reporting date there is no known material
litigation or claims against the Company.

Deferred
tax assets refer to assets that are attributable to differences between the Condensed Consolidated financial statement carrying amounts
of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets in essence represent future savings of taxes that
would otherwise be paid in cash. The realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of sufficient future taxable
income, including capital gains. If it is determined that the deferred tax assets cannot be realized, a valuation allowance must be established,
with a corresponding charge to net income. The current six months ending August 31, 2023 the Company is approaching its breakeven point
with marginal profitability. The on boarding of various planned new products as discussed in the post balance sheet events note is expected
to change the profitability of the Company materially into the future and therefore the deferred tax assets on the tax losses will be
utilized as these profits build up over time.

Forward-Looking
Statements
Certain
statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives,
and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements”
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,”
“project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,”
“plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will
likely result,” and similar expressions. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor
provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement
for purposes of complying with those safe-harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations
and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking

Business
Overview
Medinotec
Inc. established Medinotec Capital Proprietary Limited in South Africa as a wholly owned subsidiary, which in turn acquired DISA Medinotec
Proprietary Limited, after successfully proving that a private placement of a minimum of $3 Million was feasible.
Medinotec Capital Proprietary
Limited acquired DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited (therefore establishing the Medinotec Company of Companies), a South African based
medical device manufacturing and distribution company.
In 2018, DISA Medinotec
Proprietary Limited developed its most innovative product to date – the Trachealator. This award-winning (Medical Design Excellence
Awards – Gold Winner 2021) balloon catheter was developed to address an as-yet unmet supply need in the specialty of advanced airway
management, more specifically tracheal dilation. That makes this innovative product in our opinion a world first in its ability to dilate
a patient’s airway while maintaining ventilation to the patient without obstructing his/her airway.
This
life-saving device has quite literally changed the way that tracheal and, to a degree, bronchial stenosis, is managed in extremely ill
patients. This is especially true in a post Covid-19 world where tracheal stenosis due to extended tracheal intubation is becoming an
ever more frequent pathology encountered by surgeons.
The Medinotec Company of
Companies is currently in management’s opinion considered a global leader in tracheal non-occlusive airway dilation technology.
This belief of management was formed on the fact that there are a number of airway dilation balloons that are offered for the management
of tracheal stenosis, but to our knowledge all of them are occlusive in nature. The fact that the Trachealator is a non-occlusive airway
solution, allowing for continuous ventilation during dilation, results in management believing that we could be regarded as a global
leader in this technology.

Other
products manufactured by The Medinotec Company of Companies include:
•
The “Cape
Cross PTCA Catheter” The Medinotec Company of Companies also designed and developed a range of semi-compliant coronary
PTCA balloon catheters known as the Cape Cross, which attained a CE Mark and are marketed around the world and in South Africa, becoming
a widely used interventional balloons in the market. A PTCA balloon catheter (also known as a Plain Old Balloon Angioplasty [“POBA”]
catheter) is inserted either from the groin or the arm and threaded through the blood vessels, through the aorta into the heart.
The cardiac surgeon and/or interventional cardiologist will move the catheter to the blocked artery (plaque). The balloon part of
the catheter is inflated to open the blockage in the artery, after which the balloon is deflated, and the entire catheter withdrawn
and removed. If this procedure is not effective enough to open the artery, a coronary stent will be placed inside the diseased area
of the artery.
•
Cape
“ Cross Non-Compliant (“NC”) ” Catheter On the back of the Cape Cross, the Cape Cross NC Catheter was
developed for post dilation purposes. The product has become a mainstay of our cardiology range. It is CE Marked and widely used
in South Africa. After a stent is placed in an artery, it is followed up by moving a NC catheter to the site where the stent was
placed. The NC catheter balloon part is then inflated inside the stent. This is done to “seat” the stent inside the artery
wall. In other words, if the stent was not optimally placed, the NC Catheter can be used to make the stent fit “snugly”
against the artery wall to avoid dislodgement and movement of the stent after placement.
•
The
“Lamprey” Suction Dissector, a surgical tool used in the fields of neurosurgery, ear, nose and throat (“ENT”)
surgery and general surgery to combine the processes of suctioning blood out of the surgeon’s field of view while allowing
him/her to dissect sensitive structures without having to change instruments.
•
The
Aortic Perfusion and Dilation Catheter, a non-occlusive perfusion balloon to allow the expansion of the aortic valve (“BAV”
or Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty) without impeding the cardiac output, which is currently in the mid stages of research and development
and could potentially be used to post-dilate the artificial valve in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (“TAVI”),
a rapidly growing market, without the need for pacing.
•
A
highly specific, niche Chronic Total Occlusion (“CTO”) Catheter of 1mm in diameter. This micro balloon catheter addresses
an extremely specific market need for difficult coronary cases and will cement our position as one of the leading specialized coronary
balloon catheter manufacturers in the world.
•
A
new self-expanding, temporary, silicone Tracheal Stent to be used in conjunction with the Trachealator in the treatment of tracheal
stenosis. The complimentary nature of this product will build on our current expertise in the field of advanced airway management.

Results of Operations for the Three and Six Months
ended August 31, 2023 and 2022
Medinotec
Inc. was formed in Nevada and is at the moment a holding company, but it is expected to facilitate the sales of all products in the United
States directly in the near future. Therefore, over time, as we implement our business plan and realize commercial operations in the
United States, we believe Medinotec Inc. will become the primary operating company within the Medinotec Company of Companies and the
South African DISA Medinotec Proprietary Limited will be the manufacturing platform for the operations in the United States and other
countries.
Revenue
The Consolidated Medinotec Company of Companies’
revenue for the quarter ended August 31, 2023 was $350,792 compared to $135,879 in revenue being recorded in the comparative
quarter for the prior year. The Consolidated Medinotec Company of Companies’ revenue for the six months ended August 31, 2023 was
$766,999 compared to $332,350 revenue being recorded in the comparative six months in the prior year.
The revenue was up in comparison to the prior year
with $214,913 for the quarter and up by $434,649 for the six months. The reason for the higher sales growth in quarter two was due to
demand in the South African region and replenishing of inventory levels by hospitals as well as increased interest and demand in the
products of the Medinotec Company of Companies.

The increase overall for the tracheal or product in both the Outside
and Inside United States territories, is substantiated by the roll out of this product as our lead product in the non-occlusive tracheal
dilation market.
Cost of Goods
The Company’s operating
expenses were $234,069 for the quarter ended August 31, 2023, down from $259,032 for the quarter ended August 31, 2022. The Company’s
operating expenses were $510,927 for the six months ended August 31, 2023, up from $417,483 for the six months ended August 31, 2022.
The Rand weakened from an
average conversion rate of 1$: 16.67 (Q2: 2022) to 1$: 18.50 (Q2: 2023) against the US Dollar. Therefore, this will cause an expense
decrease/improvement of 11% on the operating expenses due to dollar strength within the conversion rate applied. This is estimated at
a value of $25,748.
After taking into account
the effects of the foreign currency exchange, the remaining changes are mainly attributable to the Sales and Marketing expenses that,
together with the Compliance cost, showed a step cost increase to support the higher sales figure for the six months ended August 31,
2023. Due to the amount of territories entered during the year, there was also an increase in general compliance costs to list products
in these countries and to provide initial training and marketing into these countries.

Limited R&D activities
were conducted in this quarter due to the focus on rolling out the Trachealator in the United States which consumed all production and
testing resources. R&D activities have resumed, and are expected to increase for the rest of the year.
General
and administrative expenses showed significant growth due increases in payroll costs in the United States, indemnity insurance and
payments made to service providers as part of obtaining our quotation on the OTCQX markets. Costs relating to the quotation on the OTC
markets that will not be non-recurring in the future is estimated at $30,000 and all other costs will be repeated in the future.
One
of the major components that affects the operating expenses is the costs of compliance for the business. These costs increased significantly
as we started to grow our product portfolio and is expected to rise as we enter new sales territories. Certain costs are once off in
nature and others will be recurring this will be determined after the markets have been entered and all regulatory requirements met.

The change is mainly attributable
to the higher sales in the Unites States of America, Currency fluctuations, general and Administrative expenses and sales and marketing
expenses which showed a step cost increase to support the higher sales figure, which includes the compliance costs discussed in operating
expenses above which is expected to continue to rise as new planned roll territories become active.
Related party expenses included
in operating expenses include Minoan Capital Proprietary Limited for Rental expenses in the first quarter ending August 31, 2023 was
$7,970. The related party rental expenses in the same quarter preceding year ending August 31, 2022 amounted to $8,800.
The rent charge is comparable
to rent charged for similar properties in the same relative area. The company does market research of a Minimum and a Maximum rental
value within the area at every renewal of the rental agreement to ensure this is market related, this exercise is undertaken together
with a registered property agent who has the appropriate knowledge of the area.
Interest charged on the
loan account for the quarter ended in favor of related party Minoan Medical Proprietary Limited was $61,054 for the quarter ended August
31, 2023, up from $41,953 in the same quarter ending August 31, 2022. This change is attributable to an increase in the prime lending
rate and additional draw downs on the loan. The interest rate chargeable is a guideline determined by the South African Reserve Bank
and gets utilized by financial institutions to determine the financial gain they may derive from a loan. The Prime rate is therefore
an arm’s length transaction and justifiable rate that can be applied to a loan within the borders of the Republic of South Africa
and therefore complies with the arm’s length definitions in ASC 850-10-50-6.
Liquidity and Capital
Resources
The
Company, as of August 31, 2023, had total current assets of $3,834,207 and total assets in the amount of $4,930,289. Total current liabilities
as of August 31, 2023 was $123,892. The Company had
working capital of $3,710,315 as of August 31, 2023.
As
the research and development phase of this product has been completed, we expect to see an increase in sales being realized against expenditure
incurred, the build out of the United States of America market is evident from the six month loss of $10,876 for the six month period
ended August 31,2023 versus the loss of $252,736 for the comparative period ending August 31,2022. A private placement was completed
in the wake of the successful research and development (R&D) and subsequent regulatory approval in the prior financial year for $3,467,500
and therefore the Company has enough cash reserves and working capital to fund the roll out in the market of the United States of America
(USA) including new R&D activities and Marketing and Sales functions .
The Company also embarked on obtaining additional distribution contracts in the cardiology field which will further complement its basket
of products within the territory of South Africa, these distribution rights are expected to be granted and transitioned by Sept 2023.
We further expect to grow
distribution revenues in the future which will add to the product basket and ensure more revenue streams with mature profitable products
that will complement our in house developed products. We have cash available on hand and believe that this cash will be sufficient to
fund operations and meet our obligations as they come due within one year from the date these Condensed Consolidated financial statements
are issued. In the event that we do not achieve the revenue anticipated in its current operating plan, management has the ability and
commitment to reduce operating expenses as necessary. Our long-term success is dependent upon our ability to successfully raise additional
capital, market our existing services, increase revenues, and, ultimately, to achieve profitable operations.
Our Unaudited Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction
of liabilities in the normal course of business. We received FDA 510(k) approval through the substantially equivalence process for Class
II medical devices for our main product being the Trachealator in November 2021. As the research and development phase of this product
has been completed, we expect to see an increase in sales being realized against expenditure incurred, the build out of the United States
of America market is evident from the small loss of $10,876 for the six months ended August 31, 2023 versus the loss of 252,736 for the
comparative period ending August 31, 2022.

Cash Flow Movements
Operating activities used
cash of $17,131 during the quarter ended August 31, 2023 compared to $480,779 for the same quarter ended August 31, 2022. For the six
months ending August 31, 2023 operating cash requirements was 281,256 in comparison to $600,000 the 6 months ending August 31, 2022.
This is mainly due to an increase in investment for accounts receivables and inventory combined for the 2022 period and investment in
inventory for the current year these outflows are directly related to supporting the sales initiative in the United States of America.
Since sales significantly increased quarter on quarter. As the business continues to grow the terms of customers will continue to affect
the growth in accounts receivables while sales grow.
Investing
activities was insignificant with a total spend of $18,011 during the quarter ending August 31, 2023 and consumed $1,047 for the prior
quarter ending August 31, 2022. No investing activities took place for the six months ending August 31,2023 and for the comparative six
months ending August 31, 2022 the group invested $ 29,500 into property plant and equipment. The investment into property, plant and
equipment peaked in the 2021 Fiscal period as the plant reached maximum potential production its current form. The new focus will be
on sales and compliance activities as described in the operating expenses section during the quarter ending August 31, 2023. Any current
outflows for new plant will be purely to maintain operating levels and to replace outdated items.
Financing activities provided
cash of $168,110 during the quarter ended August 31, 2023 and $318,608 for the same quarter in the prior year. For the six months ending
August 31, 2023 financing activities provided funding of $260,901 compared to $3,901,564 in the prior period ending August 31, 2022.
The increase in the prior year is mainly due to the private placement being concluded during which $3,467,500 was raised and capital
raising fees of $169,375 was incurred. The remaining increases in the current quarter and prior quarter is due to an additional drawdown
on the related party borrowing from Minoan Medical Proprietary Limited. The loan account in favor of Minoan Medical Proprietary Limited
increased by $476,171 during the quarter ended August 31, 2023. In the prior year the loan account increased by $318,561 in the quarter
ended August 31, 2022. The loan account is used to fund operational requirements.
The
loan account in favor of Minoan Medical Proprietary Limited increased to $260,901 for the six months ended August 31, 2023.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of August 31, 2023, there

Critical Accounting Estimates
Our
critical accounting estimates
are set forth in Note 2 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
We
are classified as an emerging growth company for our first five fiscal years after obtaining an IPO since our gross revenues does not
exceed $1.07 billion, we have not issued over $1 billion in non-convertible debt over three years, and have not elected to become a large
accelerated filer. We also qualify as a small reporting company since our public float is below $250 Million and less than $100 million
in revenue. If a company qualifies as a “smaller reporting company,” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, it may
choose to prepare its disclosure
relying on scaled disclosure requirements for smaller reporting companies in Regulation S-K. With the current information available the
company expects to remain an Emerging Growth Company for at least five years.
Recently Issued Accounting
Pronouncements
The Company does not expect
the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s Consolidated results of
operation, financial position or cash flow.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and
Procedures
We conducted an evaluation,
with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of
our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
or the Exchange Act, as of August 31, 2023, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted
by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange
Commission’s rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted
by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial
officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that
evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of August 31, 2023, our disclosure controls
and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses identified and described below.
Our principal executive
officers do not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. Although our disclosure
controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our principal executive officers
have determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at doing so, a control system, no matter how well conceived
and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Further, the design of a
control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to
their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that
all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities
that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls
can be circumvented if there exists in an individual a desire to do so. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving
its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Remediation Plan to Address
the Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A material weakness is a
deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility
that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management
identified the following three material weaknesses that have caused management to conclude that, as of August 31, 2023, our disclosure
controls and procedures, and our internal control over financial reporting, were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:
1.
We do not have
written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial
reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as of the period ending August 31, 2023. Management evaluated
the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure
controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
2.
We do not have sufficient
segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of
all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation
of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management
evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and
has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
3.
Effective controls over
the control environment were not maintained. Specifically, a formally adopted written code of business conduct and ethics that governs
our employees, officers, and directors was not in place. Additionally, management has not developed and effectively communicated
to employees its accounting policies and procedures. This has resulted in inconsistent practices.
To address these material
weaknesses, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly
present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Accordingly,
we believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results
of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
We intend to remedy our
material weaknesses with regard to insufficient segregation of duties by hiring additional employees in order to segregate duties in
a manner that establishes effective internal controls once resources become available.
Changes in Internal Control
over Financial Reporting
No
change in our system of internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this report, ,
that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
