−Removed: Non-operating income
+Added: Key Drivers of Operating Expense Trends
+Added: General and Administrative Expenses :
+Added: and administrative (G&A) expenses decreased significantly, although this was partially due to the reclassification of $327,950 in
+Added: expenses to revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, relating to activities outside the United States.
+Added: Excluding this reclassification,
+Added: G&A expenses increased by $48,036, mainly driven by the addition of payroll costs related to new distribution agreements and higher
+Added: compliance costs as the Company expanded its market presence.
+Added: Research and Development (R&D) :
+Added: recorded R&D expenses of $91,133 for the year ended February 28, 2025, up from $22,351 in the prior year.
+Added: However, R&D spending
+Added: remains a relatively small portion of our overall operating expenses.
+Added: This increase was primarily focused on perfecting existing manufacturing
+Added: processes to support the scaling of our Trachealator product and other potential product integrations.
+Added: Given the nature of our operations,
+Added: the majority of our R&D efforts are directed toward refining production methods and ensuring that products can be efficiently manufactured
+Added: within our current infrastructure.
+Added: We only engage in R&D for products where a working prototype and proof of concept are already in
+Added: hand, and we focus exclusively on products that align with our existing capabilities.
+Added: This approach significantly reduces our R&D
+Added: costs compared to companies engaged in speculative or early-stage development.
+Added: Compliance Costs :
+Added: A substantial portion of
+Added: our operating expenses relates to compliance activities required to maintain international standards, including ISO certifications and
+Added: CE/FDA product registrations.
+Added: These compliance costs are essential for ensuring that our products meet regulatory requirements in the
+Added: markets where we operate.
+Added: Additionally, we incur costs for maintaining distribution licenses and product registrations with local health
+Added: authorities in each country, such as the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA) in South Africa.
+Added: While some of these
+Added: compliance costs are one-time in nature, many will be recurring as the Company enters new territories and ensures ongoing regulatory compliance.
+Added: As we expand into more markets, particularly within the medical device industry, these compliance costs will likely increase.
+Added: Future Operating Expense Growth
+Added: Looking forward, we anticipate that future operating
+Added: expenses will grow primarily in two areas:
+Added: Regulatory Compliance:
+Added: As we expand into additional territories, we expect ongoing costs related to maintaining
+Added: and obtaining product registrations, as well as adhering to the evolving regulatory standards in different jurisdictions.
+Added: This includes
+Added: the maintenance of certifications such as ISO, CE, and FDA approvals, as well as local health authority requirements in each market.
+Added: Sales and Marketing:
+Added: As we increase our global footprint, particularly with the Trachealator and other products, we expect
+Added: to allocate more resources toward sales and marketing efforts.
+Added: These costs will be essential to drive product adoption, support new distribution
+Added: agreements, and build brand awareness in new regions.
+Added: In addition, while R&D expenses will remain relatively
+Added: modest, the Company's focus will remain on optimizing manufacturing processes, ensuring that production capabilities are aligned with
+Added: increased product demand and the scalability of our operations.
+Added: Non-operating income and expenses
+Added: Non-operating income and expenses for the fiscal year
+Added: ended February 28, 2025, primarily consist of interest earned on free cash and the management of liquid assets.
+Added: These amounts are immaterial
+Added: relative to our core operating results and do not significantly affect the business’s overall financial performance.
+Added: However, there
+Added: were some key non-operating transactions that impacted both the balance sheet and income statement during the prior fiscal year.
Note Receivable
−Removed: The Company decided to provide
−Removed: full impairment against Innovative Outcomes note receivable on November 30, 2023 which totaled S642,012.

−Removed: No impairment was recorded
−Removed: during fiscal 2023.
+Added: On November 30, 2023, the Company fully

−Removed: designed and manufactured product sold in the United States.

+Added: the note receivable which was impaired and a tax refund receivable.
+Added: No interest income is recognized
+Added: on the impaired note receivable, although interest continues to accrue contractually in accordance with the terms of the agreement, while

+Added: This increase in net income is primarily driven
+Added: by the higher sales generated from the new cardiology distribution business in South Africa, as well as the increased sales of the Trachealator,
+Added: an internally designed and manufactured product, in the United States.
+Added: The growth in both distribution revenues and the Trachealator's
+Added: success in new markets were key factors in driving this positive shift in profitability.

+Added: Consolidated,
+Added: we had working capital of $3,551,844 as of February 29, 2024.
+Added: The research and development phase of the

+Added: Therefore, we expect to see an increase in sales and marketing expenses, primarily
+Added: for the rollout in the United States and the expansion of the cardiology distribution contract business in South Africa.
+Added: The Company has sufficient cash reserves and
+Added: working capital to fund the roll-out in the market of the United States, including new research and development activities, as well as

+Added: capital expenditure commitments.
+Added: All planned capital projects have been completed, and there are no additional contractual obligations
+Added: for plant expansion or equipment purchases.
+Added: Our manufacturing facility currently operates below its maximum capacity, which allows us
+Added: to absorb modest increases in production without significant additional investment.

+Added: to changes in customer demand with minimal incremental capital outlay.
+Added: We fund our operations and working capital
+Added: needs primarily from cash generated by our ongoing business activities.
+Added: Over the past two fiscal years, our operating cash flows have

+Added: We maintain strong
+Added: operational controls that allow us to manage our working capital effectively, ensuring liquidity is available for daily operations and
+Added: short-term commitments.
+Added: In the longer term, we may require additional
+Added: capital to support strategic initiatives, including select product enhancements and potential expansion efforts.
+Added: While we do not currently
+Added: anticipate large-scale capital expenditures, the need for future funding to support ongoing business growth or research and development
+Added: (R&D) efforts may arise.
+Added: As a smaller reporting company with limited R&D activities, we continue to focus our research investments
+Added: on incremental product refinements rather than early-stage or speculative development.
+Added: These expenditures remain modest, as previously
+Added: disclosed, and are primarily directed toward refining existing production processes.
+Added: However, any significant future R&D initiatives
+Added: or product development would likely require external funding, either through equity or debt financing.
+Added: In terms of liquidity, we currently have sufficient
+Added: cash resources to meet our short-term obligations and continue day-to-day operations.
+Added: We regularly evaluate cash needs based on forecasted
+Added: operational demands and have identified no material trends or uncertainties that would cause a significant change in our liquidity position.
+Added: Any potential changes in liquidity would likely arise from strategic decisions, such as expansion or increased investment in R&D,
+Added: but we expect that cash flows from ongoing operations will continue to provide the necessary funds.
+Added: Capital Resources
+Added: As of the end of the latest fiscal period,
+Added: our capital requirements are primarily focused on sustaining and optimizing existing operations, rather than large-scale growth or capital
+Added: We have no material capital expenditures committed for the near term.
+Added: However, as our business continues to evolve, we anticipate
+Added: that we may seek external financing options, such as equity offerings or debt financing, should the need arise for larger investments
+Added: in new products or significant capacity expansion.
+Added: While our current capital structure remains
+Added: primarily equity-based, we are mindful of changing trends in the availability and cost of capital resources, including any shifts in equity
+Added: or debt market conditions that may affect our financing strategy.
+Added: We continue to explore opportunities to optimize our capital resources,
+Added: balancing the need for flexibility with prudent financial management.
+Added: Currency Fluctuations and Exchange Rate
+Added: Given the Company’s exposure to various
+Added: currencies, particularly the South African Rand and the U.S.
+Added: Dollar, fluctuations in exchange rates could impact our working capital and
+Added: cash reserves.
+Added: We monitor foreign exchange risks and may take steps to hedge against significant adverse movements.
+Added: While we have not
+Added: implemented any hedging strategy at this time, we will continue to assess the impact of currency fluctuations on our financial position
+Added: and operations.
+Added: Funding Strategy for Expansion
+Added: As part of our growth strategy, the Company
+Added: continues to explore opportunities for alternative funding sources, including strategic partnerships, grants, and government incentives,
+Added: to support expansion into new markets and product development initiatives.
+Added: These options could provide additional capital if needed for
+Added: larger-scale projects or unforeseen expenditures.
+Added: Future Plans and Financing Needs
+Added: Looking ahead, we anticipate that any major
+Added: strategic initiatives, such as entering new markets or funding larger-scale projects, may require additional capital.
+Added: We continue to explore
+Added: all available financing options to ensure that we can access the necessary resources to fund future growth and innovation.
+Added: This includes
+Added: potential equity or debt offerings, as well as exploring potential partnerships or other arrangements that could provide non-dilutive

+Added: in South Africa, which significantly contributed to the overall profitability of the Company in the 2024 fiscal year.

+Added: This turnaround was mainly driven by strong growth in distribution revenue, particularly from the launch of the cardiology
+Added: distribution business in South Africa and expanded U.S.
+Added: sales of the Trachealator product.
+Added: Operational cash flow also benefited from
+Added: improved working capital management, including better receivables collection and inventory optimization.
+Added: Operating expenses were carefully
+Added: controlled, allowing the Group to support growth initiatives—especially in sales and marketing—while maintaining positive
+Added: cash generation from operations.
+Added: Management also notes customer concentration risk, with most customers situated within the South African
+Added: segment, which should be considered in assessing the quality and stability of these cash flows.
+Added: Management believes that these improvements,
+Added: alongside efficiencies and sustained revenue momentum, position the Group for continued positive cash flow generation.
+Added: Non-cash adjustments,
+Added: including depreciation and share-based compensation, are minimal in our business.
+Added: Cash flows used in Investing Activities
+Added: Net cash used in investing activities
+Added: increased for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2025.
+Added: This change was primarily driven by the absence of inflows from a note receivable,
+Added: which had generated positive cash flows through repayments in the prior year.
+Added: In contrast, during the current year, the outstanding balance
+Added: of the note receivable increased and was subsequently impaired, resulting in no corresponding cash inflow.
+Added: Additionally, the Group increased its
+Added: investment in property, plant, and equipment (PP&E), reflecting continued expansion and operational scaling.
+Added: These capital expenditures
+Added: contributed to higher cash outflows from investing activities compared to the prior year.
+Added: Cash flows used in Financing Activities
+Added: Cash flows used in financing activities
+Added: for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2025, and February 29, 2024, primarily related to the repayment of a related party loan.
+Added: 2025, the Company repaid $895,279, an increase compared to $9,680 in the prior year.
+Added: This increased repayment reflects the Company’s
+Added: continued efforts to reduce financial liabilities and strengthen its balance sheet.
+Added: Looking ahead, the Company may evaluate additional financing
+Added: options—including potential debt or equity issuances—to support its strategic growth objectives.
+Added: This may include funding
+Added: expansion into new markets, increasing production capacity, and scaling marketing and distribution efforts to drive long-term value creation.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
−Removed: As of February 29, 2024,
−Removed: there were no off-balance sheet arrangements.
−Removed: Critical Accounting Policies
−Removed: While our significant accounting
−Removed: policies are described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, we believe that the accounting policies below are most critical
−Removed: to understanding our financial condition and historical and future results of operations.
−Removed: Company generates revenues through two distinct revenue sources:
−Removed: From the sale of high-quality medical devices which are self-manufactured through in-depth research and development;
−Removed: Through the distribution of finished products on behalf of other principals around the world into pre-agreed territories which are
−Removed: usually exclusive territories granted by such principal.
−Removed: Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its
−Removed: obligations under each of its arrangements:
−Removed: the contract with a customer,
−Removed: the performance obligations in the contract,
−Removed: the transaction price,
−Removed: the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract, and
−Removed: revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.
−Removed: Revenue from the sale of self-manufactured
−Removed: These products are developed in-house.
−Removed: The Company’s clients are
−Removed: billed based on a pricelist that is agreed on in each customer’s contract.
−Removed: Orders are shipped on a per order basis from the Company’s
−Removed: warehouse with Free-On-Board Inco terms.
−Removed: Revenues relating to the self-manufactured
−Removed: products are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration
−Removed: that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products.
−Removed: Revenue from the distribution
−Removed: The distribution products are sold
−Removed: via a network, which consists of a mixture of sub-distributors and in some instances a direct sales force.
−Removed: The Company’s clients
−Removed: are billed based on a pricelist that are agreed upon in each customer contract, orders are shipped on a per order basis from the Company’s
−Removed: warehouse with Free-on-Board Inco terms.
−Removed: The Company’s sub-distributors order from the Company on the same basis as its customers
−Removed: and have no preferential return rights on their inventory orders, therefore the client assumes the risk of the sale at point of invoice.
−Removed: Revenues relating to the distribution
−Removed: of products are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer in an amount that reflects the
−Removed: consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products.
−Removed: Goods delivered to a consignee pursuant
−Removed: to a consignment arrangement are not considered sales, and do not qualify for revenue recognition.
−Removed: Once it is determined that substantial
−Removed: risk of loss, rewards of ownership, as well as control of the asset have transferred to the consignee, revenue recognition would then
−Removed: be appropriate, assuming all other criteria for revenue recognition have been satisfied.
−Removed: For both revenue streams
−Removed: The Company has two operating segments,
−Removed: inside the United States and outside the United States.
−Removed: These sales are split by these territories and further segregated into the specific
−Removed: revenue streams sold into these territories.
−Removed: The Company has no contract assets
−Removed: or liabilities representing accrued revenues that have not yet been billed to the customers due to certain contractual terms, because
−Removed: of the fact that orders are placed, invoiced, and shipped on a per order basis as and when the clients require additional inventory.
−Removed: revenue is recognized at a specific point and time.
−Removed: Under ASC Topic 606, the Company
−Removed: estimates the transaction price, including variable consideration, at the commencement of the contract and recognizes revenue at point
−Removed: of sale when risks and rewards are transferred to the customer.
−Removed: There are no contract revenue agreements that would need to be recognized
−Removed: over time and the point of risks and rewards being transferred is very clear.
−Removed: Payment Terms
−Removed: Our payment terms vary per segments;
−Removed: export sales made from within South Africa are subject to prepayment, where accounts are granted.
−Removed: They generally have payment terms of
−Removed: 30 days from statement and sales made inside the United States are 45 to 60 days.
−Removed: Terms can be extended by the Company when it deems
−Removed: the business case and credit worthiness of the customer is strong enough.
−Removed: The time between a customer’s payment and the receipt
−Removed: of funds is not significant.
−Removed: The Company’s contracts with customers do not result in significant obligations associated with returns,
−Removed: refunds, or warranties.
−Removed: Payment terms are generally fixed and do not include variable revenues.
−Removed: Allowance for note receivable impairment
−Removed: The Company records allowances for
−Removed: loan impairment when it is determined that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the terms of the underlying
−Removed: Interest income on impaired loans is recognized only when interest payments are received.
+Added: As of February 28, 2025, there were no off-balance
+Added: sheet arrangements.
+Added: Critical Accounting Estimates
+Added: While our significant accounting policies are described
+Added: in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, we believe that the accounting estimates below are most critical to understanding
+Added: our financial condition and historical and future results of operations.
+Added: Allowance for credit losses on loans receivable
+Added: The Company records allowances for loan impairment
+Added: when it is determined that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the terms of the underlying agreement.
+Added: income on impaired loans is recognized only when interest payments are received.
+Added: The Trachealator product obtained FDA approval in
+Added: November 2021, which allowed the Company to sell this product into the United States of America.
+Added: Since the Company had no prior sales
+Added: channels or infrastructure in the United States, management found it prudent to plan a roll out of the product with a distributor that
+Added: had an established network and infrastructure.
+Added: For this business, the Company partnered with a company called Innovative Outcomes and
+Added: entered into a revolving credit facility to a maximum of $750,000.
+Added: Innovative Outcomes would use this to grow both their own distribution
+Added: network and infrastructure and also allow for the Company to utilize this network and infrastructure.
+Added: However, during the quarter ending
+Added: November 30, 2023, there was a material change in strategic focus where the Company would require its products to be marketed to niche
+Added: surgical units, Innovative Outcomes would be servicing the wound care clinic market only which meant that the future growth of the combined
+Added: network and infrastructure would not be a strategic match between the two entities.
+Added: It was therefore decided to separate the network
+Added: and infrastructure developed and for each company to pursue its strategic focus.
+Added: The note receivable will continue on the same terms
+Added: and became payable in the 2024 fiscal year, but the Company decided to provide full impairment against this receivable on November 30,
+Added: This decision was made in prudence due to the fact that the receivable is no longer backed by any Trachealator revenue streams.
+Added: This does not change that Innovative Outcomes will still be liable for payment of this in the future.
+Added: While impaired, no interest income
+Added: will be recognized on the receivable.
+Added: Should payments be received this provision will be reversed with the same amount of cashflow received.
+Added: Management believes that prior allowances for this
+Added: note receivable were determined with appropriate assumptions and were as accurate as possible given the information available at the time.
+Added: We continuously compare actual repayments and write-offs against our allowances and revise our estimate when subsequent events or newly
+Added: obtained information indicate that adjustments are necessary.
+Added: There have been no material changes during the current
+Added: year to the assumptions or methodologies used in estimating expected credit losses on the note receivable.
+Added: Our approach to incorporating
+Added: historical loss data, current borrower assessments and forward-looking information remains consistent with prior periods.
Valuation, costing and obsolescence
−Removed: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (weighted average)
−Removed: or net realizable value and consist of raw materials, work-in process and finished goods and include purchased materials, machine time,
−Removed: direct labor and manufacturing overhead.
−Removed: Management evaluates the need to record adjustments to write
−Removed: down inventory to the lower of cost or net realizable value on an annual basis.
−Removed: The Company’s policy is to assess the valuation
−Removed: of all inventories, including raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods and it writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence
−Removed: based upon the age of inventory and assumptions about future demand and usage.
−Removed: The provision for stock obsolescence is assessed at the
−Removed: end of every reporting period.
−Removed: Due to the long shelf life of our products as well as the ability the resterilize products to reset the
−Removed: shelf life, this provision, in managements opinion, will never increase significantly.
−Removed: Recently Issued Accounting
−Removed: Pronouncements
−Removed: See Note 2 to our Consolidated
−Removed: Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information about recent accounting pronouncements,

+Added: reviews remains consistent with prior periods.
+Added: Management does not anticipate any material
+Added: changes to the methodologies or key assumptions used to determine inventory valuation or obsolescence provisions in future periods.
+Added: Deferred tax assets and liabilities
+Added: We identify temporary differences between
+Added: the financial statement basis and tax basis of our assets and liabilities, as well as available loss and credit carryforwards.
+Added: the enacted statutory tax rates expected to be in effect when such differences reverse, pursuant to U.S.
+Added: federal and state tax law and,
+Added: where applicable, South African Income Tax Act provisions.
+Added: We then assess positive and negative evidence—such as future taxable
+Added: income projections, historical earnings patterns, tax-planning strategies and the expiration dates of carryforwards—to conclude
+Added: whether it is “more likely than not” that DTAs will be realized.
+Added: A valuation allowance is recorded against DTAs when realization
+Added: is not deemed more likely than not.
+Added: Management believes that prior deferred
+Added: tax asset estimates were prepared with appropriate assumptions and were as accurate as possible given the information available at the
+Added: We continue to perform retrospective evaluations of those estimates against actual outcomes to confirm the reasonability of our
