Report on Business

  1. Provide a general overview and discussion of the development of the Issuer’s business and operations over the previous month. Where the Issuer was inactive disclose this fact.

  1. Provide a general overview and discussion of the activities of management.
  • The pandemic has entered the endemic stage with restrictions being relaxed globally. There are still concerns of higher infection rates due to the Omricon BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants that are becoming dominant strains with high transmission rates. 4 and BA.5 now account for more than 21% of new cases in the U.S., according to U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimatesas of June 11, 2022. These two new subvariants evolved from the Omicron lineage to become even more contagious and can bypass immunity from a past infection or vaccination, experts say. This means people can be reinfected even if they had Omicron earlier this year. Health care focus is on the fall where there are concerns of a spike in cases due to the annual flu virus. Financial, operational and recovery measures instituted by the management team aided in sustaining business viability over the past 24 months and the company intends to navigate through the endemic phase diligently.
  • On June 7, 2022, BioMark announced that BioMark and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York (“Icahn Mount Sinai”) entered into collaborative research agreement to work together on clinical studies related to early lung cancer diagnosis for at risk population using a set of proprietary plasma biomarkers and machine learning algorithms discovered and developed by BioMark. This initiative is part of BioMark’s effort to commercialize its liquid-biopsy technology that leverages the latest advances in metabolomics and machine learning algorithms in the US. The test developed through this dynamic collaboration would offer the opportunity to screen nearly 16 million individuals eligible for lung cancer screening under current US guidelines could be significantly improved with a widely accessible blood-based cancer screening.
  • BioMark and Phytronix presented a poster at the ASMS held in Minneapolis from June 5-9, 2022. Abstract title:“Quantification of Beta-Hydroxybutyric acid and Tryptophan in plasma as metabolic biomarkers of cancer using the LDTD-MS/MS technique”. The poster attracted interest from many potential companies in the clinical lab space on the use of this novel integrated technology for cancer screening application.
  • BioMark attended the BIO International Convention 2022, held in June 13-16, 2022, in San Diego, CA. The Company presented in several one-on-one meetings with potential investors, strategic biopharma and lab collaborators/partners. Quebec government and Mitacs partially sponsored BioMark’s participation and provided access to its booth at the Canadian pavilion. The meetings with specific states and institutions across United States are being followed upon as these avenues will be critical as BioMark expands its operational footprint into US and other global jurisdictions that have expressed interest in the company’s early lung cancer blood-based assay.
  • On June 21st, 2022, BioMark announced that it has obtained a novel patent in Japan, No.7038044, further strengthening the Company’s intellectual property position worldwide and coverage of its blood-based technology for early lung cancer detection and screening. The Japan Patent Office is the first to issue patent on the Company’s biomarker panel for detecting lung cancer, which belongs to a large family of patents that BioMark owns, and complements similar patents currently pending in Canada, China, Europe, and US. In addition, BioMark successfully obtained certificate of registration for BioMark trademark use in Canada under Ref.: Canada R#021131-0028. The issued trademark will be used in Canada in association with the wares and/or services described in the registration which is what the company is planning to introduce firstly on its lung cancer screening assay primed for commercialization early next year.
  • On June 30, 2022, BioMark Diagnostic Solution signed the Letter of Intent with TransDiag in France. TransDiag has been successful in attracting well-known clinical institutions and collaborators to partner with BioMark to conduct trials that will be useful in assessing, reviewing, and establishing a lung cancer screening platform in Europe, starting in France. The parties are looking to commence the trials on a screening program for early lung cancer in September 2022. The 2 groups are jointly reviewing international research sponsored programs offered by the Federal government from both counties that encourages collaboration and innovation.
  • BioMark’s business development advisor for Europe and Middle East is exploring potential partnerships in Qatar with various medical institutions and Health Ministry on setting up clinical collaborations and technology development capacity related to early diagnosis and prevention solutions. Presentations were made to senior government officials and special meetings are scheduled for later in July and August of 2022.
  • BioMark continued to entertain discussions with various financial institutions and government agencies to secure non-dilutive funding, favourable loans and equity investments to accelerate the commercialization of its early lung cancer liquid biopsy franchise and to advance its expansion strategy in Quebec and the USA and for general corporate purposes. Exploratory meetings were scheduled at Bio 2022 in June with government agencies from Texas, Maryland and other NIH and NCI funded cancer facilities.  
  • BioMark Diagnostics Solutions Inc. submitted an application to join the Medical Alley Association’s US Market Access Acceleration Program to help have a deeper understanding of biotech sector in the US and build contacts. Decision is expected in mid-July that will announce the successful applicants.
