It should be read in conjunction with the September 30, 2023 interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. This MD&A complements and supplements the Corporation's financial statements, but does not form part of the Corporation's financial statements.
The currency used is the Canadian dollar unless otherwise stated.
Date of information
This MD&A is dated November 28, 2023 and was approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation on the same date.
Forward-looking statements
This MD&A contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to the Corporation. By their nature, these forward-looking statements necessarily imply risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include risks associated with the going concern assumption, market acceptance, competitive developments, the world economic situation and other factors. Except for ongoing obligations under securities laws to disclose all material information to investors, we disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Non-GAAP financial measure
This MD&A contains non-GAAP financial measures. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of an issuer's historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flow that is not specified, defined or determined under the Corporation's GAAP (as that term is defined in Regulation 52-107respecting Acceptable Accounting Principles and Auditing Standards) and is not presented in the Corporation's financial statements.
Working capital is the only non-GAAP financial measure presented in this document. It is obtained by subtracting the sum of the amounts for (i) accounts payable and accrued liabilities and (ii) other current liabilities from the sum of the amounts for (i) cash, (ii) non-restrictedshort-term investments, (iii) accounts receivable and (iv) other current assets.

Going concern assumption
The September 30, 2023 interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Corporation will continue to operate for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Corporation's current level of revenue is not sufficient to cover its expenses and ongoing commitments. The Corporation's ability to generate positive cash flows from its operating activities is dependent on achieving and maintaining profitable operations. Until it is able to generate positive cash flows from its operating activities, the Corporation will need, from time to time, to raise funds through financing activities.
Since its inception, the Corporation has been able to finance its activities and operate on a going concern basis through issuances of common shares, stock warrants, convertible notes, convertible debentures and loans. While the Corporation has been successful in securing financing in the past, there can be no assurance it will be able to do so in the future, and that such sources of funding or initiatives will be available on terms acceptable to the Corporation. If the Corporation is unable to obtain sufficient additional funding in the near-term, it may be unable to continue its operations, and amounts from the sale of assets might be less than the amounts reflected in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
As at September 30, 2023, the Corporation is current in its payroll taxes and is not in default with regards to its debt.
The September 30, 2023 interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that would be necessary if the going concern basis was not appropriate. Such adjustments, if required, may be material.
Significant events during the period
Financing activities
During the six-month period ended September 30, 2023;
- the Corporation raised a net amount of $843,775 through the issuance of unsecured convertible debentures and stock warrants.
- the Corporation received an aggregate amount of $447,374 through the exercise of stock warrants and stock options.

Interim Management Discussion and Analysis - Quarterly Highlights
Description of the Corporation and activities
The common shares of DIAGNOS are currently listed on (i) the TSX Venture Exchange of the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol ADK and (ii) the OTCQB, under the symbol DGNOF.
DIAGNOS group of entities is organized as follows:
DIAGNOS Inc.
(Canada)
Diagnos Healthcare (India) | Diagnos Internacional SA de CV |
Private Ltd - | (Mexico) - |
99.74% ownership | 99.8% ownership |
DIAGNOS markets CARA (Computer Assisted Retinal Analysis), a software platform that assists health specialists in the detection of diabetic retinopathy. CARA is an in-house hosted web-based application that integrates fundus cameras with an image processing engine over a secure internet connection and has been developed by, and is proprietary to, DIAGNOS.
The CARA suite of applications allows an eye care specialist to more clearly visualize both normal retinal landmarks (optic nerve, vascular system, macula, fovea), as well as pathological changes (exudates, hemorrhages, micro- aneurisms, neo-vascularisation).
Services rendered by the Corporation vary from image enhancement only to turn-key screening solutions.
Business model
The Corporation's main market is the screening of diabetic patients for diabetic retinopathy.
Screening projects are classified into two main categories; managed and standalone. Managed projects are those which require a full-time technician for each screening unit to manage the screening logistics, whereas standalone projects comprise one part-time technician and/or remote technical support to manage several screening units. In standalone projects, a camera is usually deployed at the screening site for the duration of the contract, after the part- time technician and/or remote technical support has trained site staff on how to acquire and transfer images.
Revenue arises from fees charged to analyse the retina of the eye image through the CARA web platform, usually on a per-transaction basis. The per-transaction fee varies based on the degree of deployment; managed or standalone. Revenue may also arise from fixed-amount subscription to the CARA platform.
