1. Nature of operations and going concern

 

Zomedica Pharmaceuticals Corp. ("Zomedica" or the “Company”) was incorporated on January 7, 2013 under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) as Wise Oakwood Ventures Inc. (“WOW”) and was classified as a capital pool company, as defined in Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange. ZoMedica Pharmaceuticals Inc. was incorporated on May 14, 2015 under the Canada Business Corporations Act.

 

On April 21, 2016, the Company closed its qualifying transaction (“Transaction”), consisting of the acquisition of ZoMedica Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“ZoMedica”) pursuant to a three-cornered amalgamation, whereby ZoMedica was amalgamated with 9674128 Canada Inc. (which was wholly-owned by WOW) and common shares and options of the Company were issued to former holders of ZoMedica securities as consideration. The amalgamated company changed its name to Zomedica Pharmaceuticals Ltd. and WOW subsequently changed its name to Zomedica Pharmaceuticals Corp. Prior to completion of the Transaction, WOW consolidated its common shares on the basis of the one post-consolidation common share for every 2.5 pre-consolidation common shares. The Transaction constituted WOW’s qualifying transaction under TSX Venture Exchange Policy 2.4 – Capital Pool Companies . The shares of Zomedica Pharmaceuticals Corp. began trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the new symbol “ZOM” on Monday, May 2, 2016. On June 21, 2016, the Company filed Articles of Amalgamation and vertically amalgamated with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Zomedica Pharmaceuticals Ltd.

 

Zomedica has one corporate subsidiary, Zomedica Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware company whose results and operations are included in these consolidated financial statements. The Company is a biopharmaceutical company targeting health and wellness solutions for the companion pet through a ground-breaking approach that focuses on the needs of the veterinarians themselves. Zomedica's head office is located at 100 Phoenix Drive, Suite 190, Ann Arbor, MI 48108 and its registered office is located at Suite 1250, 639 – 5th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta T2P 0M9.

 

On November 20, 2017, Zomedica announced that its registration statement on Form S-1 was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and on November 21, 2017, the Company’s common shares began trading on the NYSE American under the symbol “ZOM”.

 

Going concern

 

The consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next twelve months. The Company has incurred losses from operations since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $43,950,695 as at March 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018 - $32,273,787). The Company has funded its research and development (“R&D”) activities principally through the issuance of securities and loans from related parties. There is no certainty that such funding will be available going forward. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern and realize its assets and pay its liabilities as they become due.

 

In order for the Company to continue as a going concern and fund any significant expansion of its operation or R&D activities, the Company will require significant additional capital. The Company’s ultimate success will depend on whether its future product candidates receive the necessary regulatory approval and it is able to successfully market approved products. The Company cannot be certain that it will be able to receive regulatory approval for any of its future product candidates, or that it will reach the level of sales and revenues necessary to achieve and sustain profitability.

1. Nature of operations and going concern (continued)

 

Going concern (continued)

 

The availability of equity or debt financing will be affected by, among other things, the results of the Company’s research and development, its ability to obtain regulatory approvals, the market acceptance of its products, the state of the capital markets generally, strategic alliance agreements, and other relevant commercial considerations. In addition, if the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, its then existing security holders will likely experience dilution, and the incurring of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require the Company to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict its operations. Any failure on its part to raise additional funds on terms favorable to the Company or at all, may require the Company to significantly change or curtail its current or planned operations in order to conserve cash until such time, if ever, that sufficient proceeds from operations are generated, and could result in the Company not taking advantage of business opportunities.

 

2. Basis of preparation

 

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently in the condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

 

Basis of consolidation

 

These condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned operating subsidiary, Zomedica Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

 

All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

 

3. Significant accounting policies

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of the condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Areas where significant judgment is involved in making estimates are: the fair values of financial assets and liabilities; the determination of fair value of stock-based compensation; the useful lives of property and equipment; deferred income taxes and forecasting future cash flows for assessing the going concern assumption.

 

Basis of measurement

 

The condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except as otherwise noted.

 

Functional and reporting currencies

 

The Company’s and subsidiary’s functional currency, as determined by management, is US dollars, which is also the Company’s reporting currency.

 

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods and companies presented in the condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

Research and development

 

Research and development costs related to continued research and development programs are expensed as incurred in accordance with ASC topic 730.

 

Share issue costs

 

Share issue costs are recorded as a reduction of the proceeds from the issuance of capital stock.

 

Translation of foreign currencies

 

In respect of other transactions denominated in currencies other than the Company and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries’ functional currencies, the monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the period end rates. Revenue and expenses are translated at rates of exchange prevailing on the transaction dates. All of the exchange gains or losses resulting from these other transactions are recognized in the condensed unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

Stock-based compensation

 

The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted if the fair value of the goods or services received by the Company cannot be reliably estimated.

 

The Company calculates stock-based compensation using the fair value method, under which the fair value of the options at the grant date is calculated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, and subsequently expensed over the vesting period of the option. The provisions of the Company's stock-based compensation plans do not require the Company to settle any options by transferring cash or other assets, and therefore the Company classifies the awards as equity. Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of stock-based payment awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

 

The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

 

Loss per share

 

Basic loss per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through the exercise or conversion of stock options, restricted stock awards, warrants and convertible securities. In certain circumstances, the conversion of options are excluded from diluted EPS if the effect of such inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

 

The dilutive effect of stock options is determined using the treasury stock method. Stock options to purchase common shares of the Company during the period were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the Company has incurred a loss for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

Comprehensive loss

 

The Company follows ASC topic 220. This statement establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive (loss) income and its components. Comprehensive loss is net loss plus certain items that are recorded directly to shareholders' equity. The Company has no other comprehensive loss items

 

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance, ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (“ROU”) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. Additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures are also required by the new guidance. Topic 842 is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods) beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted.

 

A modified retrospective transition approach is required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. The Company adopted the new standard with an initial application date of January 1, 2019 and used the effective date as its date of initial application. Consequently, financial information was not updated, and the disclosures required under the new standard were not provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019.

 

The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company has elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permits the Company not to reassess under the new standard prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company has not elected the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements; the latter not being applicable to the Company.

 

4. Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty

 

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and revenue and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current and future periods.

 

10

 

 

4. Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued)

 

Critical areas of estimation and judgements in applying accounting policies include the following:

 

Going concern

 

These condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business within the foreseeable future. Management uses judgment in determining assumptions for cash flow projections, such as anticipated financing, anticipated sales and future commitments to assess the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. A critical judgment is that the Company continues to raise funds going forward and satisfy their obligations as they become due.

 

Stock-based payments

 

The Company estimates the fair value of convertible securities such as options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model which requires significant estimation around assumptions and inputs such as expected term to maturity, expected volatility and expected dividends.

 

Useful lives of property and equipment

 

The Company reviews the estimated useful lives of property and equipment with definite useful lives at the end of each year and assesses whether the useful lives of certain items should be shortened or extended, due to various factors including technology, competition and revised service offerings. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company was not required to adjust the useful lives of any assets based on the factors described above. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable.

 

Deferred income taxes

 

The calculation of deferred income taxes is based on assumptions which are subject to uncertainty as to timing and which tax rates are expected to apply when temporary differences reverse. Deferred tax recorded is also subject to uncertainty regarding the magnitude of non-capital losses available for carry forward and of the balances in various tax pools. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty, and the effect on the financial statements from changes in such estimates in future period could be material. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that they will be able to be utilized against future taxable income. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

8. Leases

 

As discussed in Note 3, the Company adopted ASC 842 with an initial application date of January 1, 2019. The Company is party to two lease agreements under which it rents office and laboratory space. The rent for both of these leases was prepaid upon inception and therefore at adoption the Company reclassified its prepaid lease balances of $1,613,038 to a right-of-use asset.

 

The Company amortizes the asset on a straight-line basis and records the expense in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized $127,345 (2017 – nil) in amortization expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

11. Stock-based compensation (continued)

 

The fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2019 was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of options granted using the following assumptions:

 

    January 10, 2019  
Volatility     68 %
Risk-free interest rate     2.56 %
Expected life (years)     2  
Dividend yield     0 %
Common share price   $ 1.23  
Strike price   $ 1.52  
Forfeiture rate     nil  

 

The Company recorded $2,341,104 of stock-based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The Company recorded the cash receipt of $600,000 as capital stock and reclassified $154,148 of stock-based compensation to capital stock due to the exercise of options disclosed above.

 

Volatility is determined based on volatilities of comparable companies when the Company does not have its own sufficient trading history. The expected term, which represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, is estimated based on an average of the term of the options.

 

The Company has estimated its stock option forfeitures to be nil for the three months ended March 31, 2019 (three months ended March 31, 2018 - $nil).

 

 

12. Commitments and contingencies

 

On October 1, 2018, the Company entered into a one-year rental agreement. The Company elected not to disclose this lease in accordance with ASC 842 as it is a one-year term. Total future annual lease payments for the premises are as follows:

 

2019   $ 7,920  
Total   $ 7,920  

 

On November 26, 2018, the Company entered into a Development and Supply Agreement and as part of this agreement, the Company has contingent future outflows as follows:

 

1 st payment: At the later of the achievement of a future milestone event or March 15, 2019 - $2,000,000 in cash
2 nd payment: At the later of the achievement of a future milestone event or March 15, 2019, can decide to receive payment as follows:
  o $3,000,000 in cash or
  o $1,500,000 in cash and $1.95 million in equity

12. Commitments and contingencies (continued)

 

3 rd payment: At the later of the achievement of a future milestone event or September 12, 2019, can decide to receive payment as follows:
  o $3,000,000 in cash or
  o $1,500,000 in cash and $1.95 million in equity
4 th payment: At the later of the achievement of a future milestone or February 19, 2020 - $2,000,000 in cash.

 

As at March 31, 2019, the first two milestone payments have been met. The Company recorded an accrued liability for $5,000,000 in accordance with the terms.

 

On May 10, 2018, the Company entered into a Development, Commercialization and Exclusive Distribution Agreement. As part of the agreement, the Company is required to make the following future milestone payments:

 

$3,500,000 in cash payment upon the achievement of future development milestones
$3,500,000 in equity based on the number of the Company’s common stock determined by dividing the amount due by the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE American exchange over the 10 trading days prior to the achievement of the milestone event.
 

As at March 31, 2019, none of the future development milestones related to the above agreement have been met.

 

On December 20, 2017, the Company entered into a License and Supply Agreement and as part of this agreement, the Company has contingent future outflows as follows:

 

1 st payment: At the achievement of a future milestone event - $250,000 in cash and $250,000 in equity
2 nd payment: At the achievement of a future milestone event - $250,000 in cash and $250,000 in equity
 

Under the agreement, the Company was obligated to pay up to $1 million, payable 50 percent in cash and 50 percent in unregistered common shares, upon the achievement of specified milestones. As at March 31, 2019, each of these development milestones related to the above agreement have been met. Rather than taking the aforementioned payments in cash (50 percent) and equity (50 percent), the partner company elected to receive all of its compensation through the issuance of common shares of the Company. Accordingly, as discussed in Note 10(ii), the Company issued 657,894 common shares in satisfaction of the agreement and recognized $736,841 as research and development expense in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

13. Financial instruments

 

(a) Fair values

 

The Company follows ASC topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of ASC topic 820 apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. ASC topic 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and establishes a three level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. Inputs refers broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, the fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

17

 

 

13. Financial instruments (continued)

 

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

 

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for asset or liabilities.

 

The categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

(i) The Company calculates expected volatility based on historical volatility of the Company’s peer group that is publicly traded for options.

 

An increase/decrease in the volatility would have resulted in an increase/decrease in the fair value of the options.

 

The carrying values of cash, trade and other receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and shareholder loans payable approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

(b) Interest rate and credit risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument might be adversely affected by a change in interest rates. The Company does not believe that the results of operations or cash flows would be affected to any significant degree by a sudden change in market interest rates, relative to interest rates on cash and cash equivalents, due to related parties due to the short-term nature of these balances.

 

The Company is also exposed to credit risk at period end from the carrying value of its cash. The Company manages this risk by maintaining bank accounts with a Canadian Chartered Bank. The Company’s cash is not subject to any external restrictions.

 

(c) Foreign exchange risk

 

The Company has balances in Canadian dollars that give rise to exposure to foreign exchange (“FX”) risk relating to the impact of translating certain non-U.S. dollar balance sheet accounts as these statements are presented in U.S. dollars. A strengthening U.S. dollar will lead to a FX loss while a weakening U.S. dollar will lead to a FX gain. For each Canadian dollar balance of $1.0 million, a +/- 10% movement in the Canadian currency held by the Company versus the U.S. dollar would affect the Company’s loss and other comprehensive loss by $0.1 million.

 

(d) Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty raising liquid funds to meet commitments as they fall due. In meeting its liquidity requirements, the Company closely monitors its forecasted cash requirements with expected cash drawdown.

 

The following are the contractual maturities of the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities as at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

Overview

 

We are a development stage veterinary diagnostic and pharmaceutical company creating products for companion animals (canine, feline, and equine) by focusing on the unmet needs of clinical veterinarians. We believe that we have identified and are developing diagnostics and therapeutics that have the potential to significantly improve the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases affecting companion animals. We believe that there are significant unmet medical needs for pets, and that the pet diagnostic and therapeutic segments of the animal health industry are likely to grow substantially as new diagnostic tools and treatments are identified, developed, and marketed specifically for companion animals.

 

Together with our strategic partners, we are developing three diagnostic platforms, a Bulk Acoustic Wave sensor-based veterinary point-of-care diagnostic platform for performing immunodiagnostic testing, a Raman spectroscopy-based point-of-care diagnostic platform for the detection of pathogens, and liquid biopsy assays for the detection of cancer, along with related consumables. We believe that the regulatory pathway to approval of companion animal diagnostics is significantly shorter than for similar diagnostic products intended for human use. In certain cases, pre-market clearance may be unnecessary, depending on the intended use of the diagnostic.

 

We also have identified a number of drugs that have proven safe and effective in humans that we are developing for use in canines and felines. We believe this development approach enables us to reduce the risks associated with obtaining regulatory approval for unproven product candidates and shortens the development timeline necessary to bring our product candidates to market. We have four drug product candidates in early development and have identified several other potential product candidates for further investigation.

 

23

 

 

In addition, we are investigating the development of alternative drug delivery technologies for our drug product candidates. Many of the human-approved therapeutics used in companion animals are only available in pill or injectable form. However, it can be difficult to give a companion animal an injection or to assure that the animal has swallowed a pill. As a result, we believe that compliance with treatment regimens is a significant problem for veterinarians and pet owners. The challenges associated with medicating pets are unique, and we believe that developing product candidates that can be easily taken by the pet or easily administered by pet owners will help increase compliance.

 

We are a development-stage company with no products approved for marketing and sale, and we have not generated any revenue. We have incurred significant net losses since our inception. We incurred net losses of $11,676,908 and $2,171,328 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, respectively, and $16,647,687 and $8,065,072 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. These losses have resulted principally from costs incurred in connection with investigating and developing our product candidates, research and development activities and general and administrative costs associated with our operations. As of March 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $43,950,695 and cash and cash equivalents of $2,296,731.

 

For the foreseeable future, we expect to continue to incur losses, which will increase significantly from historical levels as we expand our product development activities, commercialize them if they do not require U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Veterinary Medicine, or FDA-CVM, pre-market approval, seek regulatory approvals for our product candidates where required from the FDA-CVM or the United States Department of Agriculture Center for Veterinary Biologics, or the USDA-CVB.

 

For further information on the regulatory, business and product pipeline, please see the “Business” section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. For further information on the risk factors, please see the “Risk Factors” section of the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Revenue

 

We do not have any products approved for sale, have not generated any revenue from product sales since our inception and do not expect to generate any revenue from the sale of products in the near future. If our development efforts result in clinical success and regulatory approval or collaboration agreements with third parties for any of our product candidates, we may generate revenue from those product candidates.

 

Operating Expenses

 

The majority of our operating expenses to date have been for the general and administrative activities related to general business activities, capital market activities and stock-based compensation, and research and development activities related to our lead product candidates.

 

Research and Development Expense

 

All costs of research and development are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Research and development costs primarily consist of salaries and related expenses for personnel, fees paid to consultants, outside service providers, professional services, travel costs and materials used in clinical trials and research and development.

 

We have a point-of-care biosensor platform, ZM-024, that we are developing for diagnosis and treatment management of disorders such as thyroid and adrenal disorders, a point-of-care diagnostic platform, ZM-020, for the detection of pathogens in urine and fecal samples, and a non-invasive diagnostic assay or blood test, ZM-017, that we are developing as an aid for veterinarians in diagnosing cancer in canines.

 

We have four drug product candidates in development. Our lead drug product candidate is ZM-007, an oral suspension formulation of metronidazole targeting the treatment of acute diarrhea in small dog breeds and puppies under nine pounds or four kilograms. Our second drug product candidate is ZM-012, a novel tablet formulation of metronidazole, most commonly known as Flagyl®, its human pharmaceutical brand name, and a complementary formulation to ZM-007, targeting the treatment of acute diarrhea in larger dogs. Our third drug product candidate is ZM-006, a transdermal gel formulation of methimazole, most commonly known as Tapazole®, its human pharmaceutical brand name, and Felimazole®, its feline pharmaceutical brand name, targeting hyperthyroidism in cats. Our fourth drug product candidate is ZM-011, a transdermal gel formulation of fluoxetine, most commonly known as Prozac®, its human pharmaceutical brand name.  

 

24

 

 

General and Administrative Expense

 

General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel costs, including salaries, related benefits and stock-based compensation for employees, consultants and directors. General and administrative expenses also include rent and other facilities costs and professional and consulting fees for legal, accounting, tax services and other general business services.

 

Professional Fees

 

Professional fees include attorney’s fees, accounting fees and consulting fees incurred in connection with product investigation and analysis, regulatory analysis, government relations, audit, securities offerings, investor relations, and general corporate and intellectual property advice.

 

Income Taxes

 

As of December 31, 2018, we had net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes of $11,522,620 and non-capital loss carryforwards for Canada of approximately $13,353,870, which will begin to expire in fiscal year 2036. We have evaluated the factors bearing upon the realizability of our deferred tax assets, which are comprised principally of net operating loss carryforwards and non-capital loss carryforwards. We concluded that, due to the uncertainty of realizing any tax benefits as of December 31, 2018, a valuation allowance was necessary to fully offset our deferred tax assets.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

 

Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and revenue, costs and expenses and related disclosures during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those described below. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 3 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this document, we believe that the estimates and assumptions involved in the following accounting policies may have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements.

 

JOBS Act

 

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or the JOBS Act, contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for an “emerging growth company.” We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of the JOBS Act provision that an emerging growth company may delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such times as those standards apply to private companies.

 

In addition, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if as an “emerging growth company” we choose to rely on such exemptions, we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, and (ii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis). These exemptions will apply until December 31, 2022 or until we no longer meet the requirements of being an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

 

25

 

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Areas where significant judgment is involved in making estimates are: the fair values of financial assets and liabilities; the determination of fair value of stock-based compensation; the useful lives and recoverability of property and equipment; deferred income taxes and forecasting future cash flows for assessing the going concern assumption. 

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development expenses comprise costs incurred in performing research and development activities, including salaries and benefits, safety and efficacy studies and contract manufacturing costs, contract research costs, patent procurement costs, materials and supplies and occupancy costs. Research and development activities include internal and external activities associated with research and development studies of current product candidates and advancing product candidates towards a goal of obtaining regulatory approval to manufacture and market the product candidate.

 

Research and development costs related to continued research and development programs are expensed as incurred in accordance with ASC topic 730.

 

Translation of Foreign Currencies

 

The functional currency, as determined by management, is U.S. dollars, which is also our reporting currency. Transactions denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars and the monetary value of assets and liabilities are translated at the period end exchange rates. Revenue and expenses are translated at rates of exchange prevailing on the transaction dates. All of the exchange gains or losses resulting from these other transactions are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We measure the cost of equity-settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted if the fair value of the goods or services received by us cannot be reliably estimated.

 

We calculate stock-based compensation using the fair value method, under which the fair value of the options at the grant date is calculated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, and subsequently expensed over the vesting period of the option. The provisions of our stock-based compensation plans do not require us to settle any options by transferring cash or other assets, and therefore we classify the awards as equity. Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of stock-based payment awards that are ultimately expected to vest. We estimate forfeitures at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Volatility is determined based on volatilities of comparable companies when the Company does not have its own trading history. The expected term, which represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, is estimated based on an average of the term of the options. The risk-free rate assumed in valuing the options is based on the Canadian treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the option. The expected dividend yield percentage at the date of grant is nil as we are not expected to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

Loss Per Share

 

Basic loss per share, or EPS, is computed by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through the exercise or conversion of stock options, restricted stock awards, warrants and convertible securities. In certain circumstances, the conversion of options, warrants and convertible securities are excluded from diluted EPS if the effect of such inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

 

The dilutive effect of stock options is determined using the treasury stock method. Stock options and warrants to purchase our common shares issued during the period were not included in the computation of diluted EPS, as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

Comprehensive Loss

 

We follow ASC topic 220. This statement establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive (loss) income and its components. Comprehensive loss is net loss plus certain items that are recorded directly to shareholders' equity. We currently have no other comprehensive loss items. 

 

Results of Operations

 

Three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to three months ended March 31, 2018

 

Our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 are as follows:

Revenue

 

We did not generate any revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $7,531,375 compared to $600,341 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, an increase of $6,931,034 or 1,155%. The increase was primarily due to two milestone payments of $3,000,000 and $2,000,000, accrued pursuant to the achievement of the milestones as part of our development of ZM-024 under our development and supply agreement with Qorvo Biotechnologies, LLC. Milestone payments of $736,841 accrued and paid in common stock pursuant the achievement of milestones as part of our development of ZM-017 under our license and supply agreement with Celsee, Inc., and expensed $150,000 in additional licensing fees from deposits pursuant to the achievement of milestone activities under our license and supply agreement with Celsee, Inc. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 we expensed $25,000 in licensing fees from deposits pursuant to the achievement of milestone activities under our license and supply agreement with Celsee, Inc. After adjusting for the licensing fees, research and development expenses increased $1,069,193. This increase is a result of a higher level of third-party expenses relating to the development of our product candidate developments and the addition of full-time employees. As a result, period over period, contracted outsourced activities increased $985,324, salaries increased $64,489, and consulting expenses increased $22,670. The increase in contracted outsourced activities was largely due to the significant development activities of ZM-024, as evidenced by the achievement of the two milestones previously discussed. We expect that our research and development expenditures in 2019 will be significantly higher than in 2018, due to work related to verification and validation of ZM-024, ZM-020 and ZM-017, the initiation of pilot and pivotal studies related to our four INADs, as well as additional diagnostic developments and technologies.

General and Administrative

 

General and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $3,231,261, compared to $1,160,171 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, an increase of $2,071,090 or 179%. The increase was primarily due to the increase in salaries, bonus and benefits of $2,286,214, which included share-based compensation expense of $2,341,104 as a result of the granting of options to purchase an aggregate of 5,995,000 common shares in January 2019, all of which vested upon the date of grant. After adjusting for the share-based compensation expense, general and administrative expense decreased $270,014. This decrease was due to the reclassification of rent expense to amortization of right-of-use asset of $127,345, a reduction in travel and accommodation for $64,140 and the net decrease in salaries, bonus and benefits of $54,890. We expect that general and administrative expense will increase in 2019 and future periods as we increase our level of activity.

 

Professional Fees

 

Professional fees for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $739,394 compared to $371,947 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, an increase of $367,447 or 99%. The increase was primarily due to increased expenses related to the filing of our S-3 resale registration statement and our S-8 registration statement.

 

Net Loss

 

Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $11,676,908, or $0.12 per share, compared with a net loss of $2,171,328, or $0.02 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2018, an increase of $9,505,580 or 438%. The net loss in each period was attributed to the matters described above. We expect to continue to record net losses in future periods until such time as we have sufficient revenue from our product candidates to offset our operating expenses.

Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $2,581,275, compared to $1,707,794 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, an increase of $873,481 or 51%. The largest uses of cash resulted primarily from an increase in salaries, bonus and benefits as we had 27 employees at March 31, 2019 compared to 21 employees at March 31, 2018. Other uses of cash include costs associated with regulatory costs, insurance and professional fees, and reporting costs associated with being subject to U.S. securities law reporting obligations.

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $1,707,794, which resulted primarily from our net loss of $2,171,328. The largest uses of cash stemmed from an increase in salaries, bonus and other significant uses of cash include regulatory and insurance expenses related to our listing on the NYSE American, and travel and accommodation expenses related to business development and pre-marketing activity.

 

Financing Activities 

 

Net cash from financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $3,006,828, compared to net cash from financing activities of $1,407,786 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, an increase of $1,599,042 or 114%. Cash from financing activities resulted primarily from the $3,000,000 public offering of our common shares, and proceeds of $600,000 from the exercise of stock options partially offset by stock issuance costs of $593,172.

 

Net cash from financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $1,407,786, which was from the exercise of stock options.

 

Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $69,087, compared to $13,219 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, an increase of $55,868 or 423%. The increase resulted primarily from additional leasehold improvements in Ann Arbor.

  

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $13,219 which resulted primarily from the completion of build-out of additional office space in Ann Arbor.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations and have not generated any revenue since our inception in May 2015. As of March 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $43,950,695. We have funded our working capital requirements primarily through the sale of our common shares and the exercise of stock options.

 

As at March 31, 2019, the Company had cash of $2,296,731, prepaid expenses and deposits of $1,113,775, and accounts receivable of $77,971. Current assets amounted to $3,488,477 with current liabilities of $7,773,936, resulting in a working capital deficit (defined as current assets minus current liabilities) of $4,285,459.

 

On October 17, 2017 we entered into a five-year $5,000,000 unsecured working capital facility with Equidebt LLC, one of our shareholders (the “Equidebt Facility”). Amounts borrowed under the Equidebt Facility bear interest at a rate of 14% per annum payable at maturity. All amounts borrowed under the Equidebt Facility become due and payable on October 17, 2022. We can make two borrowings per month under the Equidebt Facility, each of which must be for a minimum of $250,000. The Equidebt Facility is unsecured; however Gerald A. Solensky Jr., our Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, has personally guaranteed our obligations under the Equidebt Facility.

 

On May 9, 2019, we entered into subscription agreements to sell $12,000,000 of our Series 1 Preferred Shares to an accredited investor in a private placement at a purchase price of $1,000,000 per Series 1 Preferred Share; $5,000,000 of the purchase price was paid on May 9, 2019 and the remaining $7,000,000 is expected to be paid on or prior to June 7, 2019.

 

We also entered into an at-the-market equity offering sales agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., effective as of December 20, 2018, under which Zomedica may sell pursuant to the universal shelf registration statement common shares in the United States only, from time to time, for up to $50.0 million and was amended on March 25, 2019 to $10.0 million in aggregate sales proceeds in "at the market" transactions.

 

If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our existing security holders will likely experience dilution, and the incurring of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that could restrict operations. In the event that we are unable to obtain sufficient capital to meet our working capital requirements, we may be required to change or curtail current or planned operations in order to conserve cash until such time, if ever, that sufficient proceeds from operations are generated. In such an event, we may not be able to take advantage of business opportunities, and may have to terminate or delay safety and efficacy studies, curtail our product development programs, or sell or assign rights to our product candidates, products and technologies.

Our future capital requirements depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:

 

the scope, progress, results and costs of researching and developing our current or future product candidates;

 

the timing of, and the costs involved in, obtaining regulatory approvals for any of our current or future product candidates;

 

the number and characteristics of the product candidates we pursue;

 

the cost of manufacturing our current and future product candidates and any products we successfully commercialize;

 

the cost of commercialization activities if any of our current or future product candidates are approved for sale, including marketing, sales, service, customer support and distribution costs;

 

the expenses needed to attract and retain skilled personnel;

 

the costs associated with being a public company;

 

our ability to establish and maintain strategic collaborations, licensing or other arrangements and the financial terms of such agreements; and

 

the costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining, defending and enforcing possible patent claims, including litigation costs and the outcome of any such litigation.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Since inception, we have not engaged in the use of any off-balance sheet arrangements, such as structured finance entities, special purpose entities or variable interest entities. 

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance, ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. Additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures are also required by the new guidance. Topic 842 is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods) beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted.

 

A modified retrospective transition approach is required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. The Company adopted the new standard with an initial application date of January 1, 2019 and used the effective date as its date of initial application. Consequently, financial information were not updated, and the disclosures required under the new standard were not provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019.

 

The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company has elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permits the Company not to reassess under the new standard prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company has not elected the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements; the latter not being applicable to the Company.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Our Disclosure Controls

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.  

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in the framework in “Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2019.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

RISK FACTORS

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

We have a limited operating history, are not profitable and may never become profitable.

   

We have not generated any revenue to date, and we expect to continue to incur significant research and development costs and other expenses. Our net loss and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 was $11,676,908 and $2,171,328, respectively, and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $16,647,687 and $8,065,075, respectively. Our accumulated deficit as of March 31, 2019 was $43,950,695. As of March 31, 2019, we had total shareholders' deficit of $1,879,872. We expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future, which will increase significantly from historical levels as we expand our product development activities (including conducting required clinical studies and trials), seek necessary approvals for our product candidates, and begin commercialization activities. Even if we succeed in developing and broadly commercializing one or more of our product candidates, we expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future, and we may never become profitable. If we fail to achieve or maintain profitability, then we may be unable to continue our operations at planned levels and be forced to reduce or cease operations.

 

We will need to raise additional capital to achieve our goals.

 

We do not have any products approved for sale. Although we believe that we do not require pre-market approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Veterinary Medicine, or the FDA-CVM, to market and sell ZM-024, a Bulk Acoustic Wave sensor-based veterinary point-of-care diagnostic platform for performing immunodiagnostic testing, ZM-020, our Raman spectroscopy-based point-of-care diagnostic platform, or ZM-017, the circulating tumor cell, or CTC, diagnostic assay that we are developing, we do not expect to commence marketing of these solutions until the first half of 2020.

 

Until, and unless, we receive approval from the FDA-CVM for our drug product candidates, we cannot market or sell our drug products in the United States and will have no material drug product revenue. Our lead drug product candidates are in the formulation, optimization and/or pilot study stage, and we have not yet begun pivotal trials. We anticipate that each of our drug product candidates will require approximately five years of development at a cost of approximately $6 million per drug product candidate before we expect to be able to apply for marketing approval in the United States. In addition, certain assays that we may choose to pursue for use in our diagnostic platforms may require pre-market regulatory approval.

 

We are also seeking to identify potential complementary opportunities in the veterinary diagnostics and therapeutics sectors. We will continue to expend substantial resources for the foreseeable future to develop our existing product candidates and any other product candidates that we may develop or acquire. These expenditures will include: costs of developing and validating our diagnostic product candidates and related assays and consumables; costs associated with drug formulation; costs associated with conducting pilot and pivotal trials and clinical studies; costs associated with completing other research and development activities; costs of identifying additional potential product candidates; costs associated with payments to technology licensors and maintaining other intellectual property; costs of obtaining regulatory approvals; costs associated with securing contract manufacturers to meet our commercial manufacturing and supply capabilities; and costs associated with marketing and selling our products. In addition, under our existing development agreements, we are required make significant cash milestone payments to our development partners and to pay certain development costs. We do not control the timing of these payments. We also may incur unanticipated costs. Because the outcome of our development activities and commercialization efforts is inherently uncertain, the actual amounts necessary to successfully complete the development and commercialization of our existing or future product candidates may be greater or less than we anticipate.

 

33

 

 

As a result, we will need to obtain additional capital to fund the development of our business. Except for our $5,000,000 unsecured working capital loan we have no existing agreements or arrangements with respect to any financings, and any such financings may result in dilution to our shareholders, the imposition of debt covenants and repayment obligations or other restrictions that may adversely affect our business or the value of our common shares.

 

Our future capital requirements depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:

 

the scope, progress, results and costs of researching and developing our existing or future diagnostics and product candidates;

 

the extent to which any of our future diagnostic assays may be subject to USDA-CVB pre-market regulation;

 

the timing of, and the costs involved in, obtaining regulatory approvals for any of our existing or future diagnostics or product candidates;

 

the number and characteristics of the diagnostics and/or product candidates we pursue;
the cost of contract manufacturers to manufacture our existing and future diagnostics and product candidates and any products we successfully commercialize;

 

the cost of commercialization activities if any of our existing or future diagnostics and product candidates are approved for sale, including marketing, sales and distribution costs;

 

the expenses needed to attract and retain skilled personnel;

 

the costs associated with being a public company;

 

our ability to establish and maintain strategic partnerships, licensing or other arrangements and the financial terms of such agreements; and

 

the costs involved in preparing and filing patent applications, maintaining any successfully obtained patents and protecting and enforcing any such patents.

 

Additional funds may not be available when we need them on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available to us on a timely basis, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate one or more of our product development programs or any future commercialization efforts.

 

In March of 2019, we completed an underwritten public offering of our common shares for $3,000,000 however, we will need to obtain additional capital to fund the development of our business.

 

Risks Related to Our Securities

 

We will be obligated to pay a significant portion of our net sales to the holders of our Series 1 Preferred Shares. This payment obligation will materially and adversely affect our liquidity and capital resources, may adversely impact our ability to raise additional capital, and could adversely affect the trading price of our common shares.

 

We are obligated to make annual payments to the holders of our Series 1 Preferred Shares in an amount equal to nine percent of the net sales (as defined in the Series 1 Preferred Shares), if any, of our company and our affiliates (the “Net Sales Payments”) until such time as the holders have received total Net Sales Payments equal to nine times the aggregate stated value of the outstanding Series 1 Preferred Shares. Such payments will materially and adversely affect our liquidity and capital resources which could result in a shortage of capital necessary to fund our operations or to take advantage of business opportunities as they arise. Our obligation to make these payments may make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital on terms acceptable to us, or at all. This payment obligation also may adversely affect investor perceptions of our company which could adversely affect the trading price of our common shares.

 

34

 

 

In the event of a sale of our company, holders of our Series 1 Preferred Shares will be entitled to a substantial premium on the purchase price they paid for their Series 1 Preferred Shares, which will reduce the sale proceeds to be received by holders of our common shares.

 

In the event that our company is the subject of a “fundamental transaction” (defined in the Series 1 Preferred Shares to include an amalgamation, merger or other business combination transaction involving our company in which our shareholders do not have the right to cast more than 50% of the votes that may be cast for the election of directors, or a sale, lease or other disposition of the properties and/or assets of our company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to a third party) the holders of the Series 1 Preferred Shares will have the right, in preference to the holders of our common shares, to receive a portion of the aggregate consideration paid in the fundamental transaction that will represent a substantial premium on the purchase price they paid for their Series 1 Preferred Shares. Such premium will reduce the proceeds of any such fundamental transaction that would be received by holders of our common shares.

 

In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, holders of the Series 1 Preferred Shares will have a liquidation preference over holders of our common shares and if the net assets of our company available for distribution to holders of our equity securities is not sufficient to pay this liquidation preference in full, holders of our common shares would receive no liquidating distribution in respect of their common shares.

 

In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, holders of the Series 1 Preferred Shares will have a liquidation preference equal to the stated value of the Series 1 Preferred Shares less the Net Sales Payments paid on the Series 1 Preferred Shares before holders of our common shares would be entitled to any proceeds of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up. If the net assets of our company available for distribution to holders of our equity securities is not sufficient to pay this liquidation preference in full, holders of our common shares would receive no liquidating distribution in respect of their common shares.

 

35

 

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

As previously announced, on May 9, 2019, we commenced a private placement offering to an accredited investor in the United States (the “Offering”) of our Series 1 Preferred Shares, without par value (the “Series 1 Preferred Shares”). On May 9, 2019 we entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) to sell $12,000,000 of our Series 1 Preferred Shares to an accredited investor in a private placement at a purchase price of $1,000,000 per Series 1 Preferred Share; $5,000,000 of the purchase price was paid on May 9, 2019 and the remaining $7,000,000 is expected to be paid on or prior to June 7, 2019. The Subscription Agreements contain certain customary representations, warranties and agreements, but the obligations of the investor’s party thereto are not subject to any financing condition. Pursuant to the terms of the Offering, we may conduct one or more additional closings of the Offering at any time on or prior to June 7, 2019 for total aggregate proceeds of up to $20,000,000.

 

In connection with the Offering, on May 9, 2019, we filed Articles of Amendment (the “Articles of Amendment”) to our Articles of Incorporation with the Corporate Registrar of the Province of Alberta (being our governing corporate jurisdiction) to designate the preferences, rights and limitations of the Series 1 Preferred Shares. Pursuant to the Articles of Amendment, we designated 20 shares of our previously undesignated preferred stock as Series 1 Preferred Shares. Each Series 1 Preferred Share has a stated value of $1,000,000. The Series 1 Preferred Shares do not have voting rights except to the extent required by applicable law and are not convertible into the Company’s common shares. Holders of the Series 1 Preferred Shares will not be entitled to dividends but, in lieu thereof, will receive Net Sales Payments until such time as the holders have received total Net Sales Payments equal to 9 times the aggregate stated value of the outstanding Series 1 Preferred Shares. We will have the right to redeem the outstanding Series 1 Preferred Shares at any time at a redemption price equal to 9 times the aggregate stated value of the Series 1 Preferred Shares outstanding less the aggregate amount of the Net Sales Payments paid (the “Redemption Amount”).

 

Upon any dissolution, liquidation or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of Series 1 Preferred Shares will be entitled to a liquidation preference equal to the stated value of the Series 1 Preferred Shares less the Net Sales Payments paid on the Series 1 Preferred Shares

 

In the event of a fundamental transaction (defined in the Series 1 Preferred Shares to include an amalgamation, merger or other business combination transaction involving our company in which our shareholders do not have the right to cast more than 50% of the votes that may be cast for the election of directors, or a sale, lease or other disposition of the properties and/or assets of our company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to a third party), the holders of the Series 1 Preferred Shares will be entitled to receive consideration for their Series 1 Preferred Shares equal to a multiple of the stated value of the Series 1 Preferred Shares ranging from 5.0 to 9.0 depending on the timing of the fundamental transaction, subject to a cap equal to the Redemption Amount.

 

The descriptions of the Series 1 Preferred Shares and the Subscription Agreements are summaries only, are not intended to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Articles of Amendment and the Form of Subscription Agreement, each of which is filed as an exhibit to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

The Series 1 Preferred Shares being sold in the Offering have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and are being sold pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Such securities are therefore restricted in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

 

36

 

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security. The securities described herein have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States or any state thereof absent registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

Such return shall be payable until such time as the aggregate Net Sales Returns paid to the holders of the Preferred Shares equals the Redemption Amount (as hereinafter defined), at which time such right shall terminate and no further Net Sales Returns shall be paid or payable to the holders of Preferred Shares.

 

5.2 Definitions . For purposes of this Section 5, the following terms have the following meanings:

 

a. " Affiliate " means any person controlled directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, by the Corporation. A Person shall be regarded as in control of the Corporation if the Corporation owns or directly or indirectly controls more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting shares or other ownership interest of the other person, or if it possesses, directly or indirectly, the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such person;

  2  

 

5.4 Allocation of Net Sales Returns . Once the Net Sales Returns have been calculated in accordance with this Section, the Net Sales Return shall be allocated and payable in cash on a pro rata basis to the holders of the Preferred Shares as of the applicable Net Sales Return Record Date.

 

5.5 Termination upon Redemption . Upon the exercise by the Corporation of its right of Redemption pursuant to Section 6 herein, the right of the holders of the Preferred Shares to receive the Net Sales Returns shall terminate.

 

5.6 Unsecured Obligations . The Net Sales Returns are unsecured obligations of the Corporation.

 

5.7 Amendments, Modifications and Waivers . All modifications, amendments or waivers to the Net Sales Returns shall require the written consent of the Corporation and the Holders of the majority of the issued and outstanding Preferred Shares.

 

6. Redemption

 

6.1 The redemption amount of the Preferred Shares (the " Redemption Amount ") shall be equal to the following:

 

  [Stated Value multiplied by nine (9)] less   [cumulative aggregate Net Sales Returns that have been paid to holders (as of the Redemption Date)].

 

6.2 Subject to applicable law, including the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Alberta), the Corporation shall have the right to redeem, at any time following the payment to the holders of the Preferred Shares of the Redemption Amount, all, or from time to time any part of, the then outstanding Preferred Shares via the delivery to such holders of a Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 6.4 herein, together with all accrued and unpaid Net Sales Returns in respect thereof up to the most recent Net Sales Return Record Date (the foregoing is herein referred to as the " Redemption ").

 

6.3 In case only a part of the then outstanding Preferred Shares is at any time to be redeemed, the Preferred Shares so to be redeemed shall be redeemed pro rata , excluding fractions, from the holdings of all shareholders of Preferred Shares or in such other manner as the Board of Directors deems reasonable.

 

6.4 On any Redemption of Preferred Shares under this Section 6, the Corporation shall, subject to the unanimous waiver of notice by the registered holders thereof, give at least 10 days before the date fixed for redemption (the " Redemption Date "), a notice in writing of the intention of the Corporation to redeem Preferred Shares (the " Redemption Notice ") to each person who at the date of giving of such notice is a registered holder of Preferred Shares to be redeemed. The Redemption Notice shall set out the calculation of the Redemption Amount, the Redemption Date and the number of Preferred Shares so held that are to be redeemed.

 

6.5 The delivery of the Redemption Amount by such reasonable means as the Corporation deems desirable, on or before the Redemption Date shall be deemed to give effect to the Redemption on the Redemption Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall be entitled to require at any time, and from time to time, that the Redemption Amount be delivered to holders of Preferred Shares only upon presentation and surrender at the registered office of the Corporation or at any other place or places in Alberta designated by the Redemption Notice of the certificate or certificates for such Preferred Shares to be redeemed.

b. a sale, lease, disposition or conveyance of the property and/or assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any other person (provided that the other person is not an affiliate of the Corporation) for consideration consisting of cash and/or securities and the subsequent distribution of all of such consideration to all of the holders of Common Shares, on a pro rata basis;

[Note: Financial assets include cash and securities, but do not include a personal residence – see the definition of "financial assets" later in this certificate. Financial assets are generally liquid or relatively easy to liquidate. You must subtract any liabilities related to your financial assets to calculate your net financial assets—see the definition of "related liabilities". Financial assets held in a group RRSP under which you do not have the ability to acquire the financial assets and deal with them directly are not considered to be beneficially owned by you. If you meet the higher financial asset threshold set out in paragraph (j.1), then initial paragraph (j.1) instead of this paragraph (j).]

 ________   (k) an individual whose net income before taxes exceeded C$200,000 in each of the two most recent calendar years or whose net income before taxes combined with that of a spouse exceeded C$300,000 in each of the two most recent calendar years and who, in either case, reasonably expects to exceed that net income level in the current calendar year, [Note: You are required to complete Exhibit B]

 

[Note: If individual accredited investors wish to purchase through wholly-owned holding companies or similar entities, such purchasing entities must qualify under section (t) below, which must be initialed and complete. If you are an accredited investor described in this paragraph (k), you must deliver a completed Form 45-106F9 – Form for Individual Accredited Investors (See Exhibit B hereto).]

 

 ________   (l) an individual who, either alone or with a spouse, has net assets of at least C$5,000,000,

 

[Note: To calculate net assets, take the value of your total assets (which may include a personal residence) and subtract your total liabilities (which may include a mortgage). The value attributed to assets should reasonably reflect their estimated fair value. Income tax should be considered a liability if the obligation to pay it is outstanding at the time of the subscription.]

 

[Note: If you are an accredited investor described in this paragraph (l), you must deliver a completed Form 45-106F9 – Form for Individual Accredited Investors (See Exhibit B hereto).]

You are buying Exempt Market Securities

They are called exempt market securities because two parts of securities law do not apply to them. If an issuer wants to sell exempt market securities to you:

 

· the issuer does not have to give you a prospectus (a document that describes the investment in detail and gives you some legal protections), and

 

· the securities do not have to be sold by an investment dealer registered with a securities regulatory authority.

 

There are restrictions on your ability to resell exempt market securities . Exempt market securities are more risky than other securities.

 

You may not receive any written information about the issuer or its business

If you have any questions about the issuer or its business, ask for written clarification before you purchase the securities. You should consult your own professional advisers before investing in the securities.

 

You will not receive advice

Unless you consult your own professional advisers, you will not get professional advice about whether the investment is suitable for you.

 

 

For more information on the exempt market, refer to the Saskatchewan Financial Services Commission's website at http://www.sfsc.gov.sk.ca .
