Pursuant to the terms of the licence agreement, the company has been granted the licence for a period of 10 years after the first commercial sale of a licensed product (with an option to extend for additional five-year terms). As consideration for the patent licence, the company has issued UFRF 603,870 common shares of the company. Commencing in 2017, an annual license maintenance fee of US$2,000 would be paid by the Company and every year thereafter until the first commercial sale. In addition, the company will pay an annual licence maintenance fee and will make payments upon meeting certain development, regulatory and commercialization milestones. Upon commencement of commercial production, the Company will pay a royalty between 2% and 4% on all net sales.

On March 6, 2018 the Company entered into a second license agreement with the UFRF for Patent Cooperation Treaty ("PCT") application, "Device and Method for Detection of Cannabis and Other Controlled Substances Using FAIMS" (PCT/CA2017/000042), and amended on August 26, 2019. The agreement provides Cannabix exclusive worldwide rights in all breath diagnostic applications of controlled substances. Pursuant to the terms of the licence agreement, the Company has been granted the licence for a period of 10 years after the first commercial sale of a licensed product (with an option to extend for additional five-year terms). The Company will pay an annual licence maintenance fee and will make payments upon meeting certain development, regulatory and commercialization milestones. Upon commencement of commercial production, the Company will pay a royalty between 2% and 4% on all net sales. There is no assurance that a final patent will be accepted and issued by regulatory authorities in relation to PCT/CA2017/000042.

Other Patent Applications

The Company has filed additional patent applications in relation to its technology, all of which are in pending status, and is contemplating further patent filings to protect additional advances in its technology. Applications that are currently pending include a US application for an Ignition Interlock System for Detection of Cannabis and other Controlled Substances Using FAIMS, and Canadian and US applications directed to an Ignition Interlock System for Detection of Cannabis. There is no assurance that final patents will be accepted and issued by regulatory authorities. A provisional patent application directed at multiple technological advancements that the company has made to FAIMS technology to render it sufficiently sensitive for the detection of cannabis from breath samples has also been filed, and the technology protected by this application extends to the detection of other molecules by FAIMS as well.

Agreement with Cannabix Breathalyzer Inc.

On June 5, 2014, the Company and Cannabix Breathalyzer Inc (a private company) entered into a definitive licensing agreement for marijuana breath detection technology. The definitive licensing agreement ("Definitive Agreement") provides the Company (the "Licensee") exclusive right, title, and interest in United States Patent Application Serial No. 61/981,650 No. 1 ("Licensed Patent") from Cannabix Breathalyzer Inc. (the licensor). The territory covered in the agreement is the United States and its territories and possessions, and all other countries that are deemed to constitute the North American Continent (the "Territory"). In consideration for the Licensed Patent, the Company issued 7,500,000 common shares to current shareholders of Cannabix Breathalyzer Inc. and issued 7,500,000 warrants exercisable at $0.075 (fully exercised by the expiry date on June 26, 2015) to Cannabix Breathalyzer Inc. The Licensee shall pay Licensor a royalty of three percent (3%) of Licensee's selling price for each Licensed Product manufactured, used, or sold by Licensee in the Territory or imported by Licensee into the Territory. Additional milestone share payments are required by the Definitive Agreement. As at April 30, 2020, the Company recorded a write-down of $3,893,163 of the deferred costs related to patent application 61/981,650 as the Company has licenced a patent from the University of Florida and has licenced patent applications from the University of British Columbia. The Company has filed several of its own provisional and non-provisional patent applications since 2015. It is believed by management that future commercialized technologies will largely be based on new intellectual property stemming from the Company's research and development activities and licenced technologies from the University of Florida and University of British Columbia.

Additional milestone payments

The Definitive Agreement outlines share payments upon reaching the following milestones: The issuance of 7,500,000 of common shares of the Company within 14 business days of prototype delivery to the Company and this prototype was received and shares were issued on April 9, 2015. Furthermore, upon the future receipt of the final patent, the company will issue 5,000,000 common shares of the Company. US non-provisional patent application no. 14/689,434 was filed April 17, 2015 (cannabis drug detection device) claiming priority from the prior provisional application and naming the same inventors Attariwala and Malhi. The US application was published on October 29, 2015. Assignment of the application from the inventors to Cannabix Breathalyzer was recorded in the US Patent Office on June 4, 2015. Assignment of the application from Cannabix Breathalyzer Inc. to Cannabix Technologies Inc. was recorded in the US Patent Office on August 23, 2016. Corresponding Canadian patent application No. 2887841 was filed April 16, 2015, also claiming priority from the prior provisional application, and an assignment of the application from Cannabix Breathalyzer Inc. to Cannabix Technologies Inc. was also recorded with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office on August 23, 2016.

The Company has received office actions and comments from Canadian and US Patent and Trademark Offices since its initial filing. As it is entitled to do with all patent applications, the Company on has filed a response on February 27, 2020 to overcome objections raised in an Office Action issued by the US Patent and Trademark Office dated August 29, 2019. The Company has also filed a response on January 2, 2020, to address objections raised by the Canadian Intellectual Property Office in an Examiner's Report issued July 3, 2019. New office actions were issued by the US and Canadian authorities on March 17, 2020 and April 9, 2020, respectively, and the Company is currently working with its intellectual property counsel to respond to the objections raised in those office actions. There is no assurance that final patents will be accepted and issued by regulatory authorities.

OVERALL PERFORMANCE

The Company was incorporated on April 5, 2011. As an early stage technology development company, the Company has not generated revenues to date from the development its marijuana breathalyzer technology and anticipates that it will continue to require equity financing to fund operations until such time a commercial product is developed and generates revenues on a profitable basis. The Company is focused on technology development and management anticipates that expenses will increase during the foreseeable future as the Company carries out prototype development of the Cannabix marijuana breathalyzer and eventually initiates research and testing studies on such a product. The Company has incurred costs in connection with the technology development business, as well as exploration programs related to its past mineral exploration projects. Net loss for the year ended April 30, 2020 was $6,970,785 compared to $3,880,500 for the year ended April 30, 2019.

The Company incurred a net loss of $6,970,785 during the year ended April 30, 2020 largely as a result of technology research and development costs of $1,185,421, share-based payments of $1,212,115, and a write-down of deferred costs relating to the original license agreement of $3,893,163.

During the year ended April 30, 2020, the Company incurred significant costs related to technology development. Most of the expenses were higher than the previous year during the company's regular operations. The Company anticipates that expenses will continue to rise in connection with the Company's focus on the identification and development of its technology business. See the discussion under the headings "Liquidity" and "Capital Resources" for more information.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Year ended April 30, 2020 compared to April 30, 2019

The Company had a net loss of $6,970,785 for the year ended April 30, 2020, compared to a net loss of $3,880,500 for the previous year.

During the year ended April 30, 2020, the Company incurred expenses of $3,182,074 (2019 - $4,016,460), primarily of research and development costs of $1,185,421 (2019 - $1,156,140), which increased slightly due to the continuous development of the marijuana breathalyzer, investor relation expenses of $123,777 (2019 - $83,142), which increased due to additional advertising and promotion campaigns, and consulting fees of $451,500 (2019 - $406,799), which increased slightly due to the company having additional consultants. Share-based payments of 1,212,115 (2019 - $2,149,905) was recognized as the fair value of 2,350,000 (2019 – 1,575,000) stock options being granted during the year ended April 30, 2020. Professional fees (accounting and legal) were $38,556 (2019 - $37,521), transfer agent and filing fees were $41,850 (2019 - $78,030), which was lower due to the timing of costs associated with the AGM, of which $26,753 was recorded under prepaid expenses. Travel expenses decreased slightly during the year ended April 30, 2020 to $33,710 from $37,558, which was due to less travel by management and consultants of the Company. Rent expense was $36,274 for the year ended April 30, 2020, compared to $14,747 for the year ended April 30, 2019, which was an increase due to renting additional lab and office space in Florida and Vancouver. Depreciation was $21,408 (2019 - $20,332), and office and miscellaneous expenses were $37,463 in 2020 compared to $32,286 in 2019. Interest income during the year ended April 30, 2020 was $104,452 compared to $135,960 in 2019, which is a result of the cash being held in guaranteed investment certificates.

Corporate, general, and administration expenses decreased from $2,860,320 for the year ended April 30, 2019 to $1,996,653 in 2020. The decrease was primarily a result of difference in the fair value of share-based payments from the issuance of stock options grated during the years ended April 30, 2019 and April 30, 2020. The fair value of the stock options issued during the year ended April 30, 2020 was 1,212,115 compared to $2,149,905 for the year ended April 30, 2019.

Share-based payments expense of $1,212,115 (2019 - $2,149,905) is the valuation of the stock options granted to directors, officers, and consultants, which were fully vested at the time of issuance. The Company is an early stage technology development company focussed on developing marijuana breathalyzer products, also described under the heading "Description of Business".

During the year ended April 30, 2020, the Company recorded a write-down of deferred costs relating to the original license agreement of $3,893,163. There were no impairment costs recorded in the year ended April 30, 2019.

SUMMARY OF QUARTERLY RESULTS

The following is a summary of the Company's financial results for the eight most recently completed quarters:

QuarterEndedApril 30,2020$ QuarterEndedJanuary 31,2020$ QuarterEndedOctober 31,2019$ QuarterEndedJuly 31,2019$ QuarterEndedApril 30,2019$ QuarterEndedJanuary 31,2019$ QuarterEndedOctober 31,2018$ QuarterEndedJuly 31,2018$

Revenue Nil Nil Nil Nil Nil Nil Nil Nil
Net loss (4,490,480) (523,435) (1,418,439) (538,431) (803,982) (524,406) (2,242,534) (309,578)
Loss per share,basic and diluted (0.04) (0.01) (0.01) (0.01) (0.01) (0.01) (0.02) Nil

On a quarter-by-quarter basis the loss can fluctuate significantly due to research and development costs and the timing of stock option grants.

An analysis of the quarterly results over the last eight quarters shows significant changes in financial performance during the quarters ended April 30, 2020, October 31, 2019, and October 31, 2018 along with a slightly higher net loss for the quarter ended April 30, 2019. Net loss was higher during the quarter ended April 30, 2020, primarily due to the write-down of deferred costs relating to the original license agreement of $3,893,163. Net loss for the Company was higher due to the Company incurring costs related to share-based payments during the quarters ended October 31, 2019, October 31, 2018, and a year-end adjustment to the stock-based compensation during the quarter ended April 30, 2019. During the quarter ended October 31, 2019, the Company incurred share-based payment expenses of $872,342. During the quarter ended October 31, 2018, the Company incurred share-based payment expenses of $1,876,940. During the quarter ended July 31, 2019, the Company incurred share-based payment expenses of $72,390. Share-based compensation is the fair value of the stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Research and development costs began increasing during the quarter ended January 31, 2017 and have continued to increase during the subsequent quarters. Research and development costs have increased due to additional consulting, independent contractors, and testing, all related the technology development. Management anticipates expenditures to increase slightly or remain similar to the last eight quarters, with exception of the share-based compensation expenses. Research and development costs and consulting fees will increase, and investor communications fees may increase slightly. Share-based payments are expected to decrease over the next few quarters if additional stock options are not issued. Other expenditures should remain relatively stable going forward as management does not anticipate additional costs related to the Company's activities. General and administrative expenses incurred during last eight quarters have remained relatively stable, but may increase slightly.

LIQUIDITY

The Company has not begun commercial sales of any of its technology holdings and nor has production occurred form activities on its resource properties and accordingly, the Company does not generate cash from operations. The Company finances technology development and exploration activities by raising capital from equity markets. The Company may encounter difficulty sourcing future financing in light of the recent economic downturn.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $8,437,100 as at April 30, 2020 and $10,272,706 as at April 30, 2019. The Company had working capital of $8,478,171 at April 30, 2020 and working capital of $10,263,520 as at April 30, 2019.

During the year ended April 30, 2020, the Company issued nil (2019 – 2,082,050) common shares in relation to the exercise of share purchase warrants and received proceeds of $nil (2019 - $939,810) pursuant to the exercise of share purchase warrants.

During the year ended April 30, 2020, the Company issued 1,100,000 (2019 – 1,375,000) common shares in relation to exercise of stock options for proceeds of $137,500 (2019 - $218,000) pursuant to the exercise of the stock options. As at April 30, 2020, the amount of $78,750 is recorded as share subscriptions receivable. The fair value of the stock options exercised of $64,610 (2019 - $140,392) was reallocated from share-based payment reserve to share capital.

If additional funds are required, the Company plans to raise additional capital primarily through the private placement of its equity securities. Under such circumstances, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain further funds required for the Company's continued working capital requirements. Due to the recovery from the global financial crisis, the Company may find it increasingly difficult to raise the funds required to continue the Company's operations. Share prices have undergone significant decreases and any issuance of the Company's equity securities in the near future may result in substantial dilution to the Company's existing shareholders.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company continues to utilize its cash resources to fund its administrative requirements and product development. As the Company does not currently generate revenue, cash balances will continue to decline as funds are utilized to conduct its operations, unless replenished by capital fundraising. In order to fund the Company's ongoing operational needs, the Company will need funding through equity or debt financing. The Company's operations to date have been financed by the issuance of its common shares. The Company continues to seek capital through various means including the issuance of equity and debt. While the Company has been successful in raising funds in the past, there is no assurance that it will continue to do so in the future or that it will be available on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to the Company.

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to continue to raise adequate financing and to commence profitable operations in the future. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient funding, the ability of the Company to meet its obligations as they come due and, accordingly, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern will be in significant doubt. The Company has incurred $19,571,895 in losses from inception including a net loss of $6,970,785 for the year ended April 30, 2020 (2019 - $3,880,500) and has working capital of $8,478,171 as at April 30, 2020 (2019 – $10,263,520).

Operating Activities

The Company used net cash of $1,894,356 in operating activities during the year ended April 30, 2020 compared to $1,827,199 during the year ended April 30, 2019.

Investing Activities

The Company used cash of $nil for the purchase of property and equipment during the year ended April 30, 2020 and $56,406 during the year ended April 30, 2019.

Financing Activities

The Company received net cash of $58,750 from financing activities during the year ended April 30, 2020 through the issuance of common shares pursuant to the exercise of stock options. During the year ended April 30, 2019, the Company received net cash of $1,157,810 through the issuance of common shares pursuant to the exercise of share purchase warrants and stock options.

RISK FACTORS

Much of the information included in this report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other forwardlooking statements. Such forward-looking statements include any projections or estimates made by the Company and its management in connection with the Company's business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect the Company's current judgment regarding the direction of its business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions, or other future performance suggested herein. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.

Such estimates, projections or other forward-looking statements involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. The Company cautions readers of this report that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other forward-looking statements. In evaluating the Company, its business and any investment in its business, readers should carefully consider the following factors:

Risks Related to the Company's Business

Because of the unique difficulties and uncertainties inherent in early stage technology development, the Company faces a high risk of business failure.

Risks and Uncertainties

An investment in the Company involves significant risks and must be considered speculative due to the nature of the Company's business. Investors should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below. This list of risks and uncertainties below is not exhaustive. Furthermore, additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that the Company believes to be immaterial may also adversely affect Cannabix Technologies' business.

Risks Related to the Company's Business

The Company has a history of operating losses and may never achieve profitability in the future. The Company is an early stage technology development company; accordingly, it has not yet generated any revenues.

The Company expects to be involved in research and development to create several prototype marijuana breathalyzers and then performing extensive trial testing and conducting research studies with such devices prior to determining their commercial viability. This process may take several years and require significant financial resources without income. The Company expects these expenses to result in continuing operating losses for the foreseeable future.

The Company's ability to generate future revenue or achieve profitable operations is largely dependent on its ability to attract the experienced management and know-how to develop a trial tested device and to (perhaps) partner with larger, more established companies in the industry to successfully commercialize a marijuana breathalyzer. Successfully developing a marijuana breathalyzer into marketable device may take several years and significant financial resources and the Company cannot assure that it can achieve these objectives.

The Company will primarily be in a developing industry and will be subject to all associated regulatory risks.

As a result, the Company's business must be evaluated in light of the problems, delays, uncertainties and complications encountered in connection with establishing a marijuana breathalyzer and related business.

There is a possibility that the Company's marijuana breathalyzer, currently under development, will be found to be ineffective, that it will be unable to receive necessary regulatory approvals in order to commercialize a device, or that it will obtain regulatory approvals that are too narrow to be commercially viable.

Any failure to successfully develop and obtain regulatory approval for products would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Trial testing for potential marijuana breathalyzer will be expensive and time consuming, and their outcome uncertain.

Before the Company can obtain regulatory approval for the commercial sale of any marijuana breathalyzer, it will be required to complete extensive trial testing to demonstrate safety and efficacy. Depending on the exact nature of trial testing, such trials can be expensive and are difficult to design and implement. The testing process is also timeconsuming and can often be subject to unexpected delays.

The timing and completion of trial testing may be subject to significant delays relating to various causes, including: inability to manufacture or obtain sufficient quantities of materials and or test subjects for use in trial testing; delays arising from collaborative partnerships; delays or failures in the technology during the testing period; delays in obtaining regulatory approvals to commence a study, or government intervention to suspend or terminate a study; delays, suspensions or termination of trial testing due to the applicable institutional review board or independent ethics board responsible for overseeing the study to protect research subjects; delays in identifying and reaching agreement on acceptable terms with prospective trial testing sites and subjects; variability in the number and types of subjects available for each study and resulting difficulties in identifying and enrolling subjects who meet trial eligibility criteria; scheduling conflicts; difficulty in maintaining contact with subjects after testing, resulting in incomplete data; unforeseen safety issues or side effects; lack of efficacy during trial testing; reliance on research organizations to conduct trial testing, which may not conduct such trials with good laboratory practices; or other regulatory delays.

Protection of proprietary technology can be unpredictable and costly.

The Company's success will depend in part upon its ability to obtain a patent for its patent pending technology and being able to maintain the existing patent it has licenced from UFRF as well as successfully file future patents. Obtaining such patent protection can be costly and the outcome of any application for such can be unpredictable. In addition, any breach of confidentiality by a third party by premature disclosure may preclude the obtainment of appropriate patent protection, thereby affecting the development and commercial value of the Company's technology and products.

Competition

The planned business to be carried out by the Company will be highly competitive and involve a high degree of risk. There are several direct and indirect competitors to the Company. In its efforts to achieve its objectives, the Company will compete with other companies that may have greater resources, faster execution to market, and potentially superior technology.

Uninsured or Uninsurable Risk

The Company may become subject to risks against which it cannot insure or against which it may elect not to insure. Settling related liabilities would reduce funds available for core business activities. Settlement of uninsured liabilities could have a material adverse effect on our financial position.

Conflicts of Interest

The Company's directors and officers may currently be involved, or become involved, in other business ventures that compete with our platform and services. Business opportunities for the Company may create circumstances in which outside interests of our directors and officers conflict with the interests of the Company. Directors and officers are required to act in good faith and in a manner that benefits the Company.

It is possible, however, that our directors and officers may owe similar consideration to another organization(s). It is possible that these and other conflicts of interest are resolved in a way that has a material adverse impact on the Company.

Dependence on Key Personnel

The Company depends on support from existing directors and officers and its ability to attract, and retain, new directors, officers and other personnel with appropriate skill sets. Inability to retain key team members or find new professionals to serve in important roles could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. There can be no assurance that we will be able to attract or retain the quality of personnel required in the future.

Patent & IP

The Company through its Licence Agreement with Cannabix Breathalyzer Inc. holds certain rights to patent pending technology but cannot guarantee their final patent approval or commercial viability. The Company through its Licence Agreement with UFRF holds certain rights to patented and unpatented technology. The Company cannot guarantee its ability financially maintain such patents, and or their future commercial viability or use. The Company cannot guarantee final patent approval or commercial viability

Financial Liquidity

The Company has not yet generated meaningful revenue and will likely operate at a loss as it develops its first device. We may require additional financing in order to execute our business plan. Our ability to secure required financing will depend in part upon on investor perception of our ability to create a successful business. Capital market conditions and other factors beyond our control may also play important roles in our ability to raise capital. The Company can offer no assurance that it will be able to successfully obtain additional financing, or that future financing occurs on terms satisfactory to our management and/or shareholders. If funds are unavailable in the future, or unavailable in the amounts that we feel the business requires, or unavailable on acceptable terms, we may be required to cease operating or modify our business plans in a manner that undermines our ability to achieve our business objectives.

Financial Statements Prepared on Going Concern Basis

The Company's financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under which an entity is considered to be able to realize its assets and satisfy its liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company's future operations are dependent upon the successful completion of financing and the creation of operations deemed successful according to the standards of our industry. The Company cannot guarantee that it will be successful in obtaining financing in the future or in achieving business objective set forth internally or externally. Our consolidated financial statements may not contain the adjustments relating to carrying values and classification of assets and/or liabilities that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Costs of Maintaining a Public Listing

As a result of obtaining a public listing, the Company will incur greater legal, accounting and other expenses related to regulatory compliance than it would have had it remained a private entity. The Company may also elect to devote greater resources than it otherwise would have on communication and other activities typically considered important by publicly traded companies.

Share Price Volatility and Speculative Nature of Share Ownership

The Company is listed for trading on the CSE, resulting in many legacy shareholders being able to freely trade their shares. Factors both internal and external to the Company may significantly influence the price at which our shares trade, and the volatility of our share price. Quarterly operating results and material developments reported by the Company can, and likely will, influence the price of our shares.

Sentiment toward technology stocks, as well as toward the stock market in general, is among the many external factors that may have a significant impact on the price of the Company's shares. The Company is a relatively young company that is not generating revenue and does not possess significant cash reserves. As such, it should be considered a speculative investment. There is no guarantee that a liquid market will be developed or maintained for the Company's shares.

Public Health Crises

Global or national health concerns, including the outbreak of pandemic or contagious diseases, such as COVID-19, may adversely affect the Company. The Company's business, operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected by the outbreak of epidemics or pandemics or other health crises. The Company expects to experience some short to medium term negative impacts from the COVID-19 outbreak; however, the extent of such impacts is currently unquantifiable, but may be significant. Such impacts include, with respect to its operations, the ability of the Company to access debt or equity capital on acceptable terms or at all.

Risks Relating to the Company's Common Stock

A decline in the price of the Company's common stock could affect its ability to raise further working capital and adversely impact its ability to continue operations.

A prolonged decline in the price of the Company's common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of its common stock and a reduction in its ability to raise capital. Because a significant portion of the Company's operations have been and will be financed through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of its common stock could be especially detrimental to the Company's liquidity and its operations. Such reductions may force the Company to reallocate funds from other planned uses and may have a significant negative effect on the Company's business plan and operations, including its ability to develop new products and continue its current operations. If the Company's stock price declines, it can offer no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional capital or generate funds from operations sufficient to meet its obligations. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient capital in the future, the Company may not be able to have the resources to continue its normal operations.
