Acquisition Pipeline
OnMarch 11, 2021 , the Company completed a Change of Business, as defined by theTSX Venture Exchange , to become an acquisition-oriented medical device company with plans to achieve scale through further acquisitions and organic growth. The Company presently intends to operate in the recovery science market, including post-operative pain, wound care and other markets serving the aging population inthe United States . OnMay 21, 2021 , the Company acquiredSouth Dakota Partners Inc. ("SDP"). SDP operates a large state-of-the-art production facility located in theState of South Dakota currently producing proprietary and white label medical devices for pain management, cold and hot therapy, NMES, PEMF and ultrasound. Information relating to SDP contained in this Report covers the entire three and six months endingAugust 31, 2022 . OnSeptember 30, 2021 , the Company acquiredSimbex, LLC ("Simbex"), an IP-based business that has a portfolio of several revenue and royalty generating products ranging from wearable technology to products for physical stability as well as expertise in development and design of many medical devices on the market it has innovated over the past several years. Simbex generated over$8,000,000 in audited revenues in 2020 with reported gross margins of 50% and was cash flow positive. Information relating to Simbex contained in this Report covers the entire three- and six-months endingAugust 31, 2022 . 33 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OnNovember 29, 2021 , the Company acquired the customer lists, sales orders and supply agreements, and related sales channel and intellectual property assets ofALG-Health, LLC ("ALG"), a business engaged in the selling medical devices and supplies to small, independent hospitals, group purchasing organizations, medical offices and clinics, in exchange for nonvoting securities ofALG Health Plus which are exchangeable for up to a maximum of 21,000,000 nonvoting Class A shares of the Company subject to the achievement of certain revenue and EBITDA targets. In connection with the transaction, its subsidiary ALG Health Plus entered into an exclusive supply agreement with ALG. OnMarch 11, 2022 , the Company acquiredMio-Guard, LLC , ("Mio-Guard") a business engaged in medical device sales and marketing serving the Midwest United States. Mio-Guard and its predecessors had 2021 unaudited annual revenues of approximately$4.5M (US$3.6M ) with 25% gross margins. Since 2009, Mio-Guard has sold into the athletic training, physical therapy and orthopedics markets for sports medicine products. Mio-Guard has over fifty sales representatives inthe United States with a focus on the Midwest, South andCentral United States and long-standing relationships with institutions ranging from high school to college to professional athletics. OnSeptember 23, 2022 , the Company acquiredDaMar Plastics Manufacturing Inc. ("DaMar"), a business engaged in designing, producing and selling specialty plastics in several markets including the medical device market. With over 50 years in business, DaMar currently provides the medical and consumer industries with precision plastic molding technology. The acquisition builds upon the Company's strategy to create a fully integrated global medical device company and adds precision plastics technology capabilities to the Company. The addition of DaMar Plastics to Salona Global is projected to add$6.6 million of revenue annually with gross profit margins of approximately 45%. Additionally, the Company's management team has a pipeline of small, privately held, stand-alone and bolt-on medical device companies targeted for acquisition in the highly fragmented global market for injury, surgical prevention, rehabilitation and recovery for the aging population throughout the continuum of care, which fall into one of three primary categories:
• Private smaller medical device companies struggling with sufficient capitalization and operational expertise to fully realize the value of their intellectual property;
• Niche players that succeed in developing a handful of quality products often turn to larger listed companies that do not allow ownership to participate in the upside of including their device in a larger company; and
• Smaller
The Company believes it is the well positioned to offer acquisition targets upside through stock/cash acquisitions with a liquid TSXV listing.
The Company intends to acquire any identified medical device targets using a structure similar to its prior acquisitions. It is intended that potential targets would primarily or solely receive Company equity as consideration for the potential acquisition rather than cash, which would reduce its requirement for additional capital. Additionally, to date, discussions are most advanced with targets that are operationally cash flow positive, which may enhance the Company's ability to borrow for additional capital needs.
Selected Financial Information
The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated below, to assess the financial
health of its acquisitions and determine the overall potential of its business
not including transaction costs and other activities associated with the ongoing
growth strategy of the Company. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net loss less
interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, foreign
exchange gain, change in fair value of contingent consideration, and transaction
costs.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amortization of intangible assets reflects the amortization of intangible assets such as trademarks, non-compete agreement, intellectual property, and customer base. The Company depreciates property and equipment across their useful lives. While there can be no assurances, the Company expects depreciation of property and equipment and of right of use asset and interest expense to increase as the Company continues to grow its balance sheet through acquisitions. The change in fair value of earnout consideration represents the increase in fair value of SDP's 19,162,000 earnout shares onMay 31, 2022 , the date of issuance. The change in fair value of the contingent consideration represents the obligations resulting from the Simbex, Health Plus and Mio-Guard acquisitions. The company assesses its potential obligations related to these commitments during the quarter and fair values them accordingly. Transaction costs include legal, financial, audit, US and Canadian regulatory expenses and other fees incurred in connection with the Change of Business transaction, the SDP, Simbex, Mio-Guard, and ALG acquisitions, due diligence of acquisition targets, financing costs, US regulatory costs, and associated accounting and other costs. While these costs are necessary to the change of its line of business, they are not operational expenses of the business.

Foreign currency translation gain
28%
Since the Company operates inthe United States , it is exposed to foreign currency risk. Management is unable to effectively predict swings in the foreign exchange value of theU.S. Dollar against the Canadian Dollar. When currency is moved between denominations, a gain or loss may be realized which management is unable to accurately predict.

InFebruary 2022 , the Company completed a private placement of 7,749,000 units (the "Units") at$0.55 per Unit (consisting of one common share and one warrant to purchase one common share) for gross proceeds of approximately$4.26 million .
