ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
GENERAL
We were incorporated as Plandel Resources, Inc. under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 19, 2010. On March 24, 2014 we changed our name to Sports Asylum, Inc. and on September 30, 2014 we changed our name to Cell MedX Corp. to reflect our new business direction.
At the time of formation, our goal was to acquire and develop gold properties while world gold prices were strong, which resulted in the acquisition of a 100% interest in the Plandel Gold Claim located in the Republic of the Philippines. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we continue to hold our interest in the Plandel Gold Claim, however, we have terminated all business activities associated with it.
On November 25, 2014, we completed the acquisition of a proprietary method for the application of bioelectric signaling to treat diabetes and related ailments (the “e-balance Technology”). With our acquisition of the e-balance Technology, we have shifted our business direction to the discovery, development and commercialization of therapeutic products for patients with diseases such as diabetes by developing technologies to help manage the illness and related complications.
On November 26, 2014, we formed a subsidiary, Avyonce Cosmedics Inc., (the “Avyonce”) under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. Avyonce’s main business activity is channelled towards the resale and marketing of spa technology and equipment to the worldwide beauty and wellness industry, as well as providing continuing education to the estheticians and healthcare professionals in the field of medical aesthetics.

The “First Clinical Trial” means a pilot clinical trial conducted on human subjects designed to test the safety and efficacy of the e-balance Technology as an adjunctive treatment for diabetes mellitus. Objectives for this trial will include the identification of markers of improved diabetic control, insight into optimal treatment parameters, magnitude and timing of clinical effects, and measurement of overall efficacy while monitoring for any potential adverse effects.
The “Second Clinical Trial” means a controlled clinical trial conducted on human subjects to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the e-balance Technology in a more formal multicenter format. Specific objectives and study endpoints will be informed by the results of the pilot clinical trial. The magnitude of the e-balance Technology’s bioelectric impacts on diabetes management and outcomes will be investigated over a longer time frame, while seeking to establish optimal prescriptions of current dosing, frequencies, timing, waveform, pulsing, and patterning. The Second Clinical Trial will also include a series of investigations in vitro and in diabetic model animals to further elucidate mechanisms of action, limits of dosing safety, and to explore for occult adverse effects of bioelectrical therapies.
The “Third Clinical Trial” means a formal, controlled & blinded clinical trial conducted on human subjects designed to demonstrate efficacy and safety of the e-balance device, adhering to the rigorous standards of an FDA approved and monitored Investigational New Device, and producing data adequate to support the Pre-Marketing Approval (PMA) application as well as subsequent filings with regulatory agencies in non-U.S. jurisdictions. The claims for the device will be driven by the discoveries of the first two clinical trials as well as animal safety data. The study design will examine the efficacy of e-balance Technology in ameliorating the signs and symptoms of diabetes mellitus, reducing the incidence and/or impact of common complications of diabetes, and improving overall diabetes control. The cost implications of such benefits will also be examined.
Any Options that vest and become exercisable expire on the 5

Diabetes and Its Complications
Diabetes is a severe and debilitating disease with profound consequences, both for the individual and for society. The complications of diabetes are devastating, and the economic costs of care comprise a substantial portion of health care budgets. Despite the best efforts of the scientific community to devise a cure, the incidence of diabetes is on the rise. Today there are 382 million people living with diabetes worldwide and a further 316 million people are at high risk of developing diabetes. These numbers are expected to grow to 592 million and 500 million, respectively, by 2035.
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a heterogeneous group of metabolic disorders characterized by hyperglycemia (high blood sugar levels) with impaired metabolism of carbohydrate, fat and proteins resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. Diabetes is one of the world’s oldest diseases with the syndrome being discovered centuries ago. The worldwide increase in the prevalence of diabetes has highlighted the need for increased research efforts into treatment options for both the disease itself and its associated complications.
Type 1 diabetes is caused by destruction of the insulin secreting (beta) cells of the pancreas. The pathogenesis involves autoimmune processes that lead to an absolute insulin deficiency. Type 2 diabetes is caused by a combination of genetic and non-genetic factors that result in insulin resistance and insulin deficiency. Non-genetic factors include increasing age, high caloric intake, obesity, central adiposity, sedentary lifestyle, and low birth weight. This group comprises approximately 90–95% of cases in the diabetes syndrome.
Chronic hyperglycemia leads to various metabolic, hormonal, and physiologic alterations in the body, which further develop a number of secondary complications, resulting in the major increases in morbidity and mortality seen with all types of diabetes. Diabetes dramatically increases the risk of cardiovascular problems, such as coronary artery disease, chest pain (angina), heart attack, stroke, narrowing of arteries (atherosclerosis) and high blood pressure.
High blood sugar over time can injure the walls of the tiny blood vessels (capillaries) that nourish nerves, especially in the legs, causing tingling, numbness, burning or pain. Gradually, all sensation can be lost. Nerve damage in the feet or poor blood flow to the feet increases the risk of various foot complications. In diabetics, minor wounds easily become serious infections, which may heal poorly. Severe damage might require toe, foot or leg amputation.
Diabetes can damage the blood vessels of the retina (diabetic retinopathy), potentially leading to blindness. It also increases the risk of other serious vision conditions, such as cataracts and glaucoma. Diabetic hypertension is a major contributor to kidney failure or irreversible end-stage kidney disease, which often requires dialysis or a kidney transplant.
Damage to the nerves that control digestion can cause problems with nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation. For men, erectile dysfunction may be an issue. Diabetes may leave people more susceptible to a variety of skin
disorders, including bacterial and fungal infections. Type 2 diabetes may increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease.
Diabetes Care & Management
In the absence of a cure, the goal of diabetes management is to reduce the likelihood of complications by eliminating the wide fluctuations in blood sugar that define the disease. The current toolset for managing blood sugar levels is limited.
Diabetes management entails the administration of insulin in combination with careful blood glucose monitoring (Type 1 diabetes) or involves adjustments to diet and exercise levels, use of oral anti-diabetic drugs and insulin administration to control blood sugar (Type 2 diabetes).
Blood sugars may be self-monitored using a portable, personal device that takes a small blood sample obtained with a tiny finger lancet. Using such a device, tight glycemic control becomes possible, as an adjunct to insulin therapy, either injected or delivered via a wearable insulin pump. This technology-enabled self-care model has been shown to reduce complications and improve the quality of life in Type 1 diabetes. Replicating these results in Type 2 diabetes has been challenging, largely reflecting the heterogeneous nature of the disease and the fact that it changes with increasing age and other factors. Implantable sensors that measure blood glucose continually have come into practice more recently.
The value of self-monitoring enablement using electronic devices, including the next generation of wearable health appliances, is aided by incorporating decision support algorithms and other intelligent information technology tools. The concept of the “artificial pancreas” combines glucose sensing technologies with automated insulin delivery by pump, with software based decision making interposed so that the former drives the latter (fully automated feedback loop). Such systems are under development but have not yet made their way to market.
The e-balance Technology
Based on the science of bioelectric signals affecting epigenetic events, the behavior of cells can be modified to affect tissue, organ, and organism level events. Cell MedX is developing a radically different and very promising family of devices whose core technology demarcates it from the approaches currently in use and those in the “future advances” pipeline as reflected in current medical literature.
Microcurrent delivery devices used for the treatment of diabetic neuropathy and poor wound healing in diabetics have been in the marketplace for decades. However, the e-balance Technology can be distinguished from those devices, which have a limited utility and are not designed to treat diabetes at its core – the underlying metabolic disorder that leads to hyperglycemia and its sequelae. It is hoped that devices incorporating the e-balance Technology will effect changes much further “upstream” in the pathophysiology or natural history of diabetes. Not a “me too” device, nor an incremental improvement in an established realm, devices based on the e-balance Technology could, if proven through diligent research and development, open a new category of diabetes care.
The e-balance Technology is intended to expand the traditional healthcare model of diabetes management by enabling patients to manage their symptoms using a biosignal generating device that is simple to use, causes no discomfort, and can easily be incorporated into any lifestyle.
It is expected that the e-balance
Technology, currently in the research and development stage, will form the basis for a product line that will be available to aid in the management of diabetes mellitus (both Type 1 and Type 2) and its complications, both as a professional clinic-based device and as a home use device. In the future, wearable devices may also be developed.
A research and development plan has been constructed that will perform a series of investigations that will move the product from a prototype stage through a series of refinements and enhancements to achieve the safety and efficacy objectives of the device(s) upon which a set of claims intended for FDA approval through the rigorous Pre-Market Approval (PMA) process will be constructed. A series of pre-clinical and clinical trials is planned (see “
Clinical Trials
”, below). The final marketing claims for the product, which become the foundation for sales & marketing efforts in subsequent phases, will derive from the clinical trials. Such claims will likely focus on overall diabetes management, including reductions in average blood sugar (HbA1C) as well as other markers that denote the degree and quality of blood sugar control. Measures that track complications of the disease will also be in focus.
Scientific Foundations
Ion flows and transmembrane gradients produced by ion channels and pumps are key regulators of cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation.
Instructive roles for bioelectrical gradients in embryogenesis, regeneration, and neoplasm are being revealed.
The application of electromagnetic forces to human tissues to effect biologic change has been explored since the 19
th
century. A good deal of that was wishful thinking or deliberate deception. However, recent advances in molecular biology and imaging technology have allowed insight into the sources and downstream consequences of ion flows in complex organisms. In complement to the current focus on molecular genetics and stem cell biology, artificial modulation of bioelectrical signals in somatic tissues is a powerful modality that might result in profound advances in understanding and augmentation of regenerative capacity. Molecular bioelectricity and its role in cell-to-cell signaling and epigenetics (altering cell behavior without altering genes) provides a new pathway to discovery of technologies that can counteract the effects of many diseases.
Many cells in the human body are
“
electrically excitable
”
including those involved with production of chemical signals that affect blood sugar. One example of such a cell of the endocrine type is the L cell, which resides in the gut and secretes cell glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2), peptide YY (PYY) and oxyntomodulin. GLP-1 is an enteric hormone that stimulates insulin secretion and improves glycaemia in Type 2 diabetes. There is evidence that in Type 2 diabetes these cells become
“
unsynchronized”. Growing these cells in tissue culture and subjecting them to specific electrical signals can act to resynchronize their chemical activity, and alter their behavior as a
“
dispersed
”
metabolic organ. This serves as an illustration of how endogenous ion flows may serve as key epigenetic regulators of cell behavior, and suggests that bioelectric mechanisms might be harnessed at a whole organism level to cause functional regenerative changes. It is possible that the e-balance Technology may affect these processes, although that has yet to be established. We intend to explore this hypothesis in greater detail during our clinical trials.
Empirical Modeling
The first-in-human observational research took place over many years and was carefully documented by the discoverers of the e-balance Technology. The results of this research lead the discoverers to believe that a specific device with a specific set of bioelectric signals of known waveform, frequency, amplitude, pulse, and duration, accompanied by sensing circuits that respond to fluctuations in the body’s response, in a closed feedback loop, produced cumulative effects that led to remarkable global effects in functional aspects of living in a person who had lived with Type 1 diabetes since age 10. Casual trials in another person with longstanding diabetes, Type 2 in this case, yielded findings of a similar nature in a limited time frame.
Effects observed in these trials include subjective reports of diminished fatigue, improved cognition, diminished neuropathic limb pain, improved sleep, less leg swelling, and improved skin appearance in color and texture, and a reduction in visual disturbance. Objective measures included healing of wounds, control of blood pressure leading to discontinuation of medication, and greatly improved control of blood sugars with remarkable diminution in HbA1C (which reflects average blood sugar over months). Remarkably, in the context of Type 1 Diabetes with other potential variables remaining the same, insulin requirements diminished to a considerable degree.
Coincident with these improvements was a series of observations with differing electrical current delivery parameters and response algorithms that were sequentially matched to alterations in diabetes related signs and symptoms.
Clinical Trials
On January 13, 2015, we appointed Dr. John Sanderson, MD, a stem cell researcher and former Johnson & Johnson (LifeScan) medical director, our Chief Medical Officer. Prior to this appointment Dr. Sanderson acted as a member of our Scientific Advisory Board. He is responsible for the design and executive oversight of the e-balance research program.
During January through March 2015, we carried out a preliminary Pilot Trial (the “Pilot Trial”), which was designed to examine the short term metabolic impact of a single treatment with e-balance Technology on two diabetic subjects. Pre-and post treatment blood samples from each subject were sent for extensive metabolic pathway analysis at the university of Alberta Metabolomics Unit. From those studies we observed alterations in several pathways, which are known to be deficient in persons with diabetes. The results of the Pilot Trial are notable in that significant shifts in metabolites related to blood sugar handling and disposal occurred in a very short time frame, with the only intervening variable being a 20 minute treatment with e-balance Technology.
The findings from the Pilot Trial were then used to inform further experimentation, including selection of metabolic end points for testing during a Phase IB clinical trial, which we started preparations for in July 2015. This study is to include up to 30 type 1 and type 2 diabetics meeting admission criteria who will be subject to a variety of measures pre-and post treatment lasting 3-6 months. As of the date of the filing of this Annual Report, we have prepared protocols and set up and equipped the clinic space in preparation for induction of subjects, which we expect to start in mid September 2015. This clinical trial will allow us to document the response of persons with diabetes to e-balance Technology while controlling as many variables as is practical in an outpatient study. The primary end point to be followed is HbA1C as the classical measure of long range diabetes control, with a 0.5% decrease in HbA1C as a criterion for improvement in an individual with diabetes.
A positive result from the Phase IB clinical trial would fully justify the next clinical trial; one whose design will meet criteria leading to potential approval as determined by discussions with the FDA and other regulatory bodies, who will be consulted prior to that trial. In that study, we are planning to employ additional controls in a multi-institutional, multinational protocol. The test device will be redesigned according to specifications for the finished product. A larger and more complex trial, it will take place over a year. This trial will give us an opportunity to fine tune and optimize the controllable parameters of e-balance Technology, while also exploring fully the biochemical pathways that are responsible (mechanism of action) for change.
Studies will be reported at their conclusion in standard format, and subjected to peer review, informally through the advisory group and outside independent experts, or formally in preparation for publication in a journal. Results will also be summarized in a white paper for internal use and investor relations.
Product Development
The prototype e-balance device that will be used in the Phase IB clinical trial will be based on an existing clinical device that has been repurposed and modified for purposes of the clinical trials using compiled data from the casual experiments described in the section
“
Empirical Modeling.
”
The working prototype will use a transcutaneous energy delivery device with ionic currents delivered by external electrode arrays, with parameters deriving from embedded intelligence in the form of custom algorithms and artificial intelligence. In addition to effectors, electrodes will act as sensors to create physiologic bioelectric feedback loops that alter multiple current dynamics.
During the research and development phases, the device itself is expected to undergo constant revision to optimize its functionality, add new features and create new form factors, (including, the potential development of wearable devices).
The first product development phase of the e-balance Technology will commence in parallel with the Phase IB clinical trial and will concentrate on redesigning, prototyping and recursively testing the instrument from the basic circuits up, with marketable products under a New Device Application with the US Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”). A design control process pursuant to current FDA device guidelines will be instituted.
The second product development phase will focus on user interface design, wireless enablement, networking protocols, improvements in the internal hardware components from both cost and functionality viewpoints, refinement and development of algorithms and continued Quality Assurance (QA) testing for all improvements per the design protocol. This phase will mirror the second clinical trial in timing.
The third product development phase will take the core technologies and implement multiple form factors for clinical grade and home use, including the potential development of a miniature or wearable device that can be integrated into wireless local networks in a fashion similar to the latest generation of glucose measurement devices. Server (cloud-based) tools may be developed, along with applications for portable information appliances (smart phones, tablets, glucose meters and insulin pumps).
As of the date of this Annual Report, we have received several quotes from leading engineering and design firms interested to work with us on the development of the prototype of the e-balance device. We have yet to enter into a formal development contracts with any of these firms.
Current Status of Clincial Trials and Product Development Efforts
As previously discussed in the sections entitled
“Clinical Trials”
and ”
Product Development”
we commenced our preliminary Pilot Trial in January 2015. Our costs associated with the Pilot Trial were approximately $103,713 and included $77,867 we recorded as research and development fees, of which $70,000 represents consulting fees we incurred to Dr. Sanderson, and $27,801 we paid to acquire necessary hardware to test e-balance Technology. This amount does not include $100,000 we paid to Ms. Arnett and Mr. Hargreaves for the e-balance Technology, which amount has also been recorded as research and development fees.
Due to the delays in funding of the further clinical trials, our Research and Development costs for fiscal 2015 were lower than budgeted and disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K we filed with the SEC on December 3, 2014. In addition, we had to extend the timelines for our further clinical studies and product development.
In July 2015 we started preparations for the Phase IB clinical trial. We prepared protocols and set up and equipped the clinic space in preparation for induction of subjects, which we expect to start in mid September 2015, with expected completion in Fiscal Q3 2016. The estimated total cost of the Phase IB clinical trial is expected to be approximately $192,600 and includes the purchase of additional hardware to test the e-balance Technology, salaries payable to the study personnel, including physicians and other professionals engaged in the trial, and other operating and research costs required to successfully complete the trial.
The Phase II clinical trial will be designed based on the results of the Phase IB clinical trial. We estimate the costs of this Phase to be approximately $181,400.
We are planning to start developing our e-balance device in the Fall 2015 to coincide with our clinical trials. We have estimated that we will require approximately $420,000 to complete the project, of which $350,000 will be required during the fiscal 2016.
The following table summarizes our cash requirements for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2016:
Based on our operating budget, our cash requirement for the year ending May 31, 2016, is approximately $1,571,000. As at May 31, 2015, we had $1,258 cash on hand, a working capital deficit of $709,912 and cash flows used in operations of $316,811 for the year then ended. We will require additional capital to support our day-to-day operations and carry out the planned clinical trials and the development of the e-balance Technology. We are planning to raise this capital through debt or equity financing or through a combination of both.
Medical Device Regulations and Government Approvals
The manufacture, packaging, marketing and importing of medical devices is heavily regulated in the United States and Canada. Further, we expect that any other countries in which we may seek to sell or market devices based on the e-balance Technology will similarly have an extensive regulatory environment.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) is responsible for regulating firms that manufacture, repackage, re-label and/or import medical devices sold in the United States. Health Canada’s Health Products and Food Branch Inspectorate is responsible for regulating the manufacture, labeling, packaging, distribution and import of medical devices sold in Canada.
Prior to selling any devices based on the e-balance Technology for the treatment in the United States or Canada, we will be required to make applications to obtain approval from the FDA and Health Canada, respectively. The type of application and complexity of the procedures for obtaining FDA and Health Canada approval will depend upon the classification of the devices that we develop under the provisions of the United States Food and Drugs Act of 1906, as amended, and the Food and Drugs Act (Canada), as amended, respectively, and related regulations. In addition, we may be required to apply to the FDA for an investigational device exemption (IDE) and/or Health Canada under the Investigational Testing Authorization program for the use of any such devices in clinical trials that we sponsor to test the efficacy of the e-balance Technology in treating diabetes and related ailments. Such approvals have not yet been obtained.
Third Party Payers / Private Insurers
Reimbursement for medical devices through Medicare and Medicaid in the U.S., and through health protectorates in other nations, is not guaranteed. Third party private payers or private insurers typically follow the lead of government healthcare providers. A decision as to whether a device or treatment is covered involves extensive negotiations and is typically predicated on the concept of health cost savings. If the device can be shown to reduce health care costs through prevention of expensive complications of diabetes, such applications for approvals would be more favorably reviewed.
While health care economic data will be gathered in the third clinical trial, it often requires more longitudinal data (over years) to demonstrate that complications (which are often late stage) have been prevented or ameliorated. Additional (post-market) studies may be required to demonstrate these effects. A lack of third party coverage would limit sales to private pay consumers in the near term after product launch.
Marketing Plans
Once approved for marketing, the intent is to market devices incorporating the e-balance Technology through authorized dealers and distributors of medical equipment, as well as directly to end users and to professional / institutional users. Devices targeted at end users are expected to be self-managed devices that can be used by individuals in the comfort of their own homes. Devices targeted at professional / institutional users are expected to be larger scaled devices that can be used in clinical settings. A professional sales force is also expected to be developed. Initially, the Company intends to focus on marketing any products that we develop based on the e-balance Technology in the United States and Canada. The United States and Canada include approximately 100 million patients suffering from diabetes mellitus and related complications of which 50% are struggling to keep their blood sugar levels within recommended ranges and therefore potentially benefitting from our e-balance Technology.
Competition
The current market for treatments that assist in the control and management of diabetes and its complications is highly competitive. However, since our technology is based on the microcurrent therapy, which is not traditionally used for management of diabetes, direct competition for e-balance Technology is not well defined.
Indirect competitors include a multitude of pharmaceutical companies that produce insulin and other various drugs to maintain and prevent diabetes related complications; companies producing glucose monitoring
devices.
Competitors in microcurrent therapy would include BodiHealth Systems, a wholly owned subsidiary of Thrisoint Pty Ltd, focusing on pain relief market in US; Electromedical Products International, Inc., the company that developed Alpha-Stim® PPM, which treats and alleviates acute, chronic or postoperative pain using microcurrent electrical therapy.
Patents/Trade Marks/Licenses/Franchises/Concessions/Royalty Agreements or Labor Contracts
The e-balance Technology is covered by a US provisional patent application filed by Ms. Arnett and Mr. Hargreaves. We acquired all rights to the e-balance Technology, including the provisional patent application from Ms. Arnett and Mr. Hargreaves on November 25, 2014.
Number of Total Employees and Number of Full Time Employees
We currently have no employees other than our executive officers, who provide their services as independent consultants. Our wholly owned subsidiary, Avyonce, has one employee. We contract for the services of medical staff we require to administer the trials, as well as other consultants on “as needed” basis.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
There is a high degree of risk associated with buying our common stock. Prospective investors should carefully read this Annual Report on Form 10-K and consider the following risk factors when deciding whether to purchase our shares. These are speculative stocks and should be purchased by only those who can afford to lose their entire investment.
The risk factors outlined below are some of the known, substantial, material and potential risks that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and common share value. We cannot assure that we will successfully address these or any unknown risks and a failure to do so can have a negative impact on your investment. We may encounter risks in addition to those described below. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, may also impair or adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operation.
Risks Associated with our Company and our Industry
We operate in a highly competitive market. We face competition from large, well established medical device manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies in the market for treating and managing diabetes and related ailments. Many of these companies are very well accepted by health practitioners and have significant resources, and we may not be able to compete effectively.
The market for treatment and management of diabetes and related ailments is intensely competitive, subject to rapid change and significantly affected by new product introductions. We compete indirectly with large pharmaceutical and medical device companies, such as Bayer Corp., Becton Dickinson Corp., LifeScan Inc., a division of Johnson & Johnson, MediSense Inc. and TheraSense Inc. These competitors’ products are based on traditional healthcare model and are well accepted by health practitioners and patients. If these companies decide to penetrate our target market they could threaten our position in the market.
We are subject to numerous governmental regulations which can increase our costs of developing our e-balance Technology and products based on this technology.
Our products will be subject to rigorous regulation by the FDA, Health Canada and numerous international, supranational, federal, and state authorities. The process of obtaining regulatory approvals to market a medical device can be costly and time-consuming, and approvals might not be granted for future products, or additional indications or uses of existing products, on a timely basis, if at all. Delays in the receipt of, or failure to obtain approvals for, our products, or new indications and uses, could result in delayed realization of product revenues, reduction in revenues, and in substantial additional costs. In addition, no assurance can be given that we will remain in compliance with applicable FDA, Health Canada and other regulatory requirements once approval or marketing authorization has been obtained for a product. These requirements include, among other things, regulations regarding manufacturing practices, product labeling, and advertising and postmarketing reporting, including adverse event reports and field alerts due to manufacturing quality concerns.
Changes in the health care regulatory environment may adversely affect our business.
A number of the provisions of the U.S. Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 and its amendments changed access to health care products and services and established new fees for the medical device industry. Future rulemaking could increase rebates, reduce prices or the rate of price increases for health care products and services, or require additional reporting and disclosure. We cannot predict the timing or impact of any future rulemaking.
The expiration or loss of patent protection and licenses may affect our future revenues and operating income.
Our business relies on patents, patent applications and trademarks to protect our intellectual property. Although most of the challenges to our intellectual property may come from other businesses, governments may also challenge intellectual property protections. To the extent our intellectual property is successfully challenged, invalidated, or circumvented or to the extent it does not allow us to compete effectively, our business will suffer. To the extent that countries do not enforce our intellectual property rights or to the extent that countries require compulsory licensing of our intellectual property, our future revenues and operating income will be reduced.
Competitors' intellectual property may prevent us from selling our products or have a material adverse effect on our future profitability and financial condition.
Competitors may claim that our technology infringes upon their intellectual property. Resolving an intellectual property infringement claim can be costly and time consuming and may require us to enter into license agreements. We cannot guarantee that we would be able to obtain license agreements on commercially reasonable terms. A successful claim of patent or other intellectual property infringement could subject us to significant damages or an injunction preventing the manufacture, sale or use of our product. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our profitability and financial condition.
Our research and development efforts may not result in the development of commercially successful products based on our e-balance Technology, which may hinder our profitability and future growth.
We do not currently have any marketable products. Our e-balance Technology is currently in the research and development stage as are our planned products incorporating this technology. In order to develop commercially marketable products, we will be required to commit substantial efforts, funds, and other resources to research and development. A high rate of failure is inherent in the research and development of new products and technologies. We must make ongoing substantial expenditures without any assurance that our efforts will be commercially successful. Failure can occur at any point in the process, including after significant funds have been invested. Planned products may fail to reach the market or may only have limited commercial success because of efficacy or safety concerns, failure to achieve positive clinical outcomes, inability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals, limited scope of approved uses, excessive costs to manufacture, the failure to establish or maintain intellectual property rights, or infringement of the intellectual property rights of others.
Even if we successfully develop marketable products or commercially develop our current technology, we may be quickly rendered obsolete by changing customer preferences, changing industry standards, or competitors' innovations.
Innovations may not be accepted quickly in the marketplace because of, among other things, entrenched patterns of clinical practice or uncertainty over third-party reimbursement. We cannot state with certainty when or whether our products under development will be launched, whether we will be able to develop, license, or otherwise acquire new products, or whether any products will be commercially successful. Failure to launch successful new products or new indications for existing products may cause our products to become obsolete, causing our revenues and operating results to suffer.
New products and technological advances by our competitors may negatively affect our results of operations.
Our products face intense competition from our competitors. Competitors' products may be safer, more effective, more effectively marketed or sold, or have lower prices or superior performance features than our products. We cannot predict with certainty the timing or impact of the introduction of competitors' products.
Significant safety concerns could arise for our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and financial condition.
Health care products typically receive regulatory approval based on data obtained in controlled clinical trials of limited duration. Following regulatory approval, these products will be used over longer periods of time in many patients. Investigators may also conduct additional, and perhaps more extensive, studies. If new safety issues are reported, we may be required to amend the conditions of use for a product. For example, we may be required to provide additional warnings on a product's label or narrow its approved intended use, either of which could reduce the product's market acceptance. If serious safety issues arise with our product, sales of the product could be halted by us or by regulatory authorities. Safety issues affecting suppliers' or competitors' products also may reduce
the
market acceptance of our products.
Inability to attract and maintain key personnel may cause our business to fail.
Success depends on the acquisition of key personnel. We will have to compete with other companies both within and outside the healthcare industry to recruit and retain competent employees and consultants. If we cannot maintain qualified personnel to meet the needs of our anticipated growth, we could face material adverse effects on our business and financial condition.
We are recently formed, lack an operating history and to date have generated only minimal revenues through our wholly owned subsidiary, Avyonce. If we cannot increase our revenues to start generating profits, our investors may lose their entire investment.
We are a recently formed company and to date have generated only minimal revenues through sales of Spa equipment and MediSpa courses through our wholly owned subsidiary, Avyonce. No profits have been made to date and if we fail to make any then we may fail as a business and an investment in our common stock will be worth nothing. We have no operating history and thus no way to measure progress or potential future success. Success has yet to be proved. We have yet to prove our e-balane Technology through clinical trials and we have yet to develop any products through which we would be able to start generating revenue. Financial losses should be expected to continue in the near future and at least until such time that we enter commercial production of devices based on the e-balance Technology, of which there is no assurance. As a new business we face all the risks of a ‘start-up’ venture including unforeseen costs, expenses, problems, and management limitations and difficulties. Since inception, we have accumulated deficit of $1,115,460 and there is no guarantee, that we may ever be able to turn a profit or locate additional opportunities, hire additional management and other personnel.
We need to acquire additional financing or our business will fail.
We must obtain additional capital or our business will fail. In order to continue development of our e-balance Technology and to successfully complete clinical trials, we must secure more funds. Currently, we have very limited resources and have already accumulated a net loss. Financing may be subject to numerous factors including investor sentiment, acceptance of our technology and so on. We currently have no arrangements for additional financing. We may also have to borrow large sums of money that require substantial capital and interest payments.
Risks related to our stock
We expect to raise additional capital through the offering of more shares, which will result in dilution to our current shareholders.
Raising additional capital through future offerings of common stock is expected to be necessary for our Company to continue. However there is no guarantee that we will be successful in raising additional capital. Issuance of additional stock will increase the total number of shares issued and outstanding resulting in decrease of the percentage interest held by each of our shareholders.
There is a limited market for our common stock meaning that our shareholders may not be able to resell their shares.
Our common stock currently has a limited market which may restrict shareholders’ ability to resell their stock or use their stock as collateral. Thus, the shareholders may have to sell their shares privately which may prove very difficult. Private sales are more difficult and often give lower than anticipated prices.
Should a larger public market develop for our stock, future sales of shares may negatively affect their market price.
Even if a larger market develops, the shares may be sparsely traded and have wide share price fluctuations. Liquidity may be low despite there being a market, making it difficult to get a return on the investment. The price also depends on potential investor’s feelings regarding the results of our operations, the competition of other companies’ shares, our ability to generate future revenues, and market perception about future of microcurrent technologies.
Because our stock is a penny stock, stockholders will be more limited in their ability to sell their stock.
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or quotation system.
Because our securities constitute "penny stocks" within the meaning of the rules, the rules apply to us and to our securities. The rules may further affect the ability of owners of shares to sell our securities in any market that might develop for them. As long as the quotation price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per share, the common stock will be subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that:
|
·
|
contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
|
|
·
|
contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of securities laws;
|
|
·
|
contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;
|
|
·
|
contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
|
|
·
|
defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and
|
|
·
|
contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.
|
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with: (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock.
We have not paid nor anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock.
We have not declared any dividends on our common stock during the past two fiscal years or at any time in our history. The Nevada Revised Statutes (the “NRS”), provide certain limitations on our ability to declare dividends. Section 78.288 of Chapter 78 of the NRS prohibits us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:
|
(a)
|
we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or
|
|
|
(b)
|
except as may be allowed by our Articles of Incorporation, our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if we were to be dissolved at the time of the distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of stockholders who may have preferential rights and whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the distribution.
|
We do not expect to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future as we expect to spend any funds legally available for the payment of dividends on the development of our business.

DIVIDENDS
We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock since our inception and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We plan to retain our earnings, if any, to provide funds for the expansion of our business.
Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws do not contain any restrictions limiting our ability to declare dividends. Section 78.288 of the Nevada Revised Statutes prohibits us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:
|
(a)
|
we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
During our fiscal year ended May 31, 2015, we completed the following unregistered sales of our equity securities:
|
·
|
On November 25, 2014, upon completing our acquisition of the e-balance Technology, we issued options to purchase an aggregate of up to 20,000,000 shares of our common stock to Ms. Arnett and Mr. Hargreaves with an initial exercise price of $0.05 per share. A description of the terms and conditions of the options granted to Ms. Arnett and Mr. Hargreaves, including the vesting provisions attached thereto, is provided in the section entitled “
Business Of Cell MedX; Technology Purchase Agreement”
in Part I of this Annual Report.
|
|
·
|
In January 2015 we received subscription proceeds for 150,000 units (each a “Unit”) at a price of $0.50 per Unit for total proceeds of $75,000. Each Unit consists of one share of our common stock and one warrant for the purchase of one additional share of our common stock, exercisable at a price of $1.00 per share. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Units subscribed for remain unissued.

PENNY STOCK RULES
The SEC has adopted regulations that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks.” “Penny stocks” are generally defined as being any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. These rules require that any broker-dealer who recommends our common stock to persons other than prior customers and accredited investors, must, prior to the sale, make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to execute the transaction. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with trading in the penny stock market. In addition, broker-dealers must disclose commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities they offer. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our securities, which could severely limit their market price and liquidity of our securities. The application of the “penny stock” rules may affect your ability to resell our securities.

Revenues
Our revenue during the year ended May 31, 2015, was associated with the beginning of operations of our wholly owned subsidiary, Avyonce Cosmedics Inc. (“Avyonce”). The revenue consisted of sales of spa equipment and consumable products, as well as continuing education courses to estheticians and health care professionals in the field of medical aesthetics.
Operating Expenses
During the year ended May 31, 2015, our operating expenses increased by $1,029,702 from $18,527 incurred during the year ended May 31, 2014, to $1,048,229 incurred during the year ended May 31, 2015. The increase was associated with our acquisition of e-balance Technology, which resulted in change to our business operations and overall increase to our operating expenses. The most significant year-to-date changes were as follows:
|
●
|
During the year ended May 31, 2015, we incurred $275,146 in consulting fees. Of this amount, $172,647 was paid or accrued to Jean Arnett and Brad Hargreaves – the vendors of our e-balance Technology - for assisting us with our business development efforts. In addition, we incurred $27,600 in management fees. We did not have similar expenses during the comparable period in Fiscal 2014.
|
|
●
|
In order to bring awareness for our Company and the e-balance Technology to the general public, we have incurred $80,631 in corporate communications and marketing fees, which included programming and design of our corporate web site, and the production of PowerPoint and video presentations.
|
|
●
|
During the year ended May 31, 2015, we recorded $88,900 in financing fees on the loan agreements we entered into to support our current operations. The non-cash financing fees resulted from the conversion features of the loans, which were below the market value of the shares on the date of the transactions.
|
|
●
|
Our legal fees for the year ended May 31, 2015, were $64,819 and were mainly associated with our acquisition of the e-balance Technology.
|
|
●
|
Our research and development fees for the year ended May 31, 2015, amounted to $177,867, of which $100,000 was associated with the payment we made to the vendors of the e-balance Technology, pursuant to our Technology Purchase Agreement, as amended, and $70,000 were incurred to Dr. Sanderson, as compensation for his agreeing to act as our Chief Medical Officer and to design and carry out our medical studies, which commenced in January 2015 with the Pilot Trial.
|
|
●
|
During the year ended May 31, 2015, we recorded $203,829 in stock-based compensation, which was calculated to be a fair market value of the options we issued to Dr. Sanderson pursuant to his Consulting Agreement with us.
|
|
●
|
During the year ended May 31, 2015, we recorded $29,646 in due diligence costs related to acquisition of the e-balance Technology.
|
|
●
|
Due to increased business activity, our accounting and audit fees increased by $17,993 to $30,093 we incurred during the year ended May 31, 2015, our filing and regulatory fees increased by $15,757 to $22,184 during the same period in Fiscal 2015.
|
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working Capital
We did not generated sufficient cash flows from our operating activities to satisfy our cash requirements for Fiscal 2015. The amount of cash that we have generated from our operations to date is significantly less than our current debt obligations, including our debt obligations under our notes and advances payable. There is no assurance that we will be able to generate sufficient cash from our operations to repay the amounts owing under these notes and advances payable, or to service our other debt obligations. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from our operations to repay the amounts owing when due, we may be required to raise additional financing from other sources.

Net cash used in operating activities during the year ended May 31, 2015, was $316,811. This cash was primarily used to cover our cash operating expenses of $742,178, to increase our inventory held by Avyonce by $729 and increase our other current assets mainly associated with the prepayments of future expenses by $18,772. These uses of cash were offset by increases in our accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $222,790 and $30,402, respectively, as well as increases in amounts due to related parties of $185,462 and interest accrued on the notes payable of $6,214.
Net cash used in operating activities during the year ended May 31, 2014, was $9,778. This cash was used to cover our cash operating expenses of $18,527 and was offset by increases in our accounts payable and amounts due to related parties of $1,949 and $6,800, respectively.
Non-cash transactions
During the year ended May 31, 2015, our net loss was affected by the following expenses that did not have any impact on cash used in operations:
|
·
|
$1,955 in amortization expense we recorded on our equipment that will be used in clinical trials of our e-balance Technology;
|
|
·
|
$88,900 in financing costs associated with the conversion feature of the notes payable we issued to an arms length party, as the conversion price was below the market value of the shares on the date of the transaction;
|
|
·
|
$203,829 in stock-based compensation associated with the fair value of the options to purchase up to 2,400,000 shares of our common stock we issued to Dr. Sanderson as compensation for his appointment as our Chief Medical Officer; and
|
|
·
|
$4,697 gain that resulted from foreign exchange fluctuations on Canadian Dollar denominated loans and advances we received.
|
We did not have any non-cash transactions during the year ended May 31, 2014.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
During the year ended May 31, 2015, we borrowed a total of $205,000 from City Group LLC (the “Lender”), an unrelated party. The loans are unsecured, payable on demand and bear interest at 6% per annum, compounded monthly. Subject to applicable US securities laws, at the discretion of the Lender, $195,000 of principle amount outstanding and accrued interest thereon may be converted into shares of our common stock at $0.50 per share. We recorded $88,900 in non-cash financing fees associated with the conversion feature. In addition, we received $40,523 and $24,721 (CAD$27,500) in non-interest bearing advances from an unrelated party; these advances are due on demand.
In addition to the debt financing, during the same period we received subscriptions for 150,000 units (each a “Unit”) at a price of $0.50 per Unit for total proceeds of $75,000. Each Unit consists of one share of our common stock and one warrant for the purchase of one additional share of our common stock, exercisable at a price of $1.00 per share. As of the date of this report, the Units subscribed for remain unissued.
We did not have any financing transactions during the year ended May 31, 2014.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
During the year ended May 31, 2015, we paid $27,801 for the equipment which will be used in our clinical trials. We did not have any investing activities during the Fiscal 2014.
Going Concern
The notes to our audited consolidated financial statements at May 31, 2015, disclose our uncertain ability to continue as a going concern. We are development stage company with limited operations. To date we were able to generate only minimal revenue from the operations of our wholly owned subsidiary, Avyonce. Our research and development plans for the near future will require large capital expenditures, which we are planning to mitigate through equity or debt financing.
We have accumulated a deficit of $
1,115,460 since inception and increased sales will be required to fund and support our operations. Our continuation as a going concern depends upon the continued financial support of our shareholders, our ability to obtain necessary debt or equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. Our audited consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments that would be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in our financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
Critical Accounting Policies
An appreciation of our critical accounting policies is necessary to understand our financial results. These policies may require management to make difficult and subjective judgments regarding uncertainties, and as a result, such estimates may significantly impact our financial results. The precision of these estimates and the likelihood of future changes depend on a number of underlying variables and a range of possible outcomes. We have applied our critical accounting policies and estimation methods consistently.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cell MedX Corp. and our wholly owned subsidiary, Avyonce Cosmedics Inc. On consolidation, we eliminate all intercompany balances and transactions.
Foreign Currency Translations and Transactions
Our functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. We translate foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities into their U.S. dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the period. Related translation adjustments as well as gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are reported as part of operating expenses on the statement of operations.
Our wholly owned subsidiary’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar. On consolidation, the Avyonce translates assets and liabilities to U.S. dollars using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date, and translates revenues and expenses using average exchange rates during the period. Gains and losses arising on settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the other comprehensive income. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K we have not entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize the revenue when all the following conditions have been met:
|
·
|
the sales price is fixed or determinable;
|
|
·
|
pervasive evidence of an agreement exists;
|
|
·
|
when delivery of the product has occurred and title has transferred or services have been provided; and
|
|
·
|
when collectability is reasonably assured.
|
Inventory Valuation
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, net of trade discounts received, with costs being determined based on the weighted average cost basis.
Research and Development Costs
We expense all in-house research and development costs in the period they were incurred. Acquired research and development costs are capitalized to the extent that the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the asset can be reasonable estimated or may be verified by an appraisal in certain instances. In all other instances the costs are expensed in the period they were incurred. Acquired research and development costs for a particular research and development project that have no future economic values, are expensed as research and development costs at the time the costs are incurred.
Accounts Receivable
Receivables represent valid claims against debtors for services provided or goods sold on or before the balance sheet date and are reduced to their estimated net realizable value. An allowance for doubtful accounts is based on an assessment of the collectability of all past due accounts. At May 31, 2015 and 2014, our allowance for doubtful accounts was $Nil.
Long-lived Assets
In accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment”, we test long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to:
|
·
|
significant decreases in the market price of the asset;
|
|
·
|
significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors;
|
|
·
|
accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset;
|
|
·
|
current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and
|
|
·
|
current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.
|
Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount exceeds fair value.
Equipment
Equipment is stated at cost and is amortized over its estimated useful life on a straight-line basis over 3 years.
Stock Options and other Share-based Compensation
For equity awards, such as stock options, total compensation cost is based on the grant date fair value and for liability awards, such as stock appreciation rights, total compensation cost is based on the settlement value. We recognize the stock-based compensation expense for all awards over the service period required to earn the award, which is the shorter of the vesting period or the time period an employee becomes eligible to retain the award at retirement.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Our financial instruments include cash, amounts receivable, accounts payable, notes and advances payable, and amounts due to related parties. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to their short maturities.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable.
At May 31, 2015, we had $979 in cash on deposit with a large chartered Canadian bank and $279 on deposit with a large US bank. Of these deposits approximately $635 was insured. As part of our cash management process, we perform periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions. We have not experienced any losses in cash balances and do not believe we are exposed to any significant credit risk on our cash.
Accounts receivable consists of sales income generated by our wholly owned subsidiary, Avyonce, and is not collateralized. We continually monitor the financial condition of our customers to reduce the risk of loss. We routinely assess the financial strength of our source of revenue income and as a consequence, concentration of credit risk is limited. At May 31, 2015, we had $79 in accounts receivable outstanding.
Recent Accounting Standards and Pronouncements
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation”. We elected to early adopt the guidance in FASB Topic 915 as of May 31, 2014, and no longer provide the accounting disclosures for development stage companies.
Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other authoritative standards groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and in Item 10(f) of Regulation SK and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of the Company.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Cell MedX Corp. (the “Company”) as at May 31, 2015 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of other auditors, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at May 31, 2015 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, to date the Company has reported losses since inception from operations and requires additional funds to meet its obligations and fund the costs of its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in this regard are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sports Asylum, Inc. as of May 31, 2014 and the results of their operations and cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(FORMERLY SPORTS ASYLUM, INC.)
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MAY 31, 2015
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Cell MedX Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated as Plandel Resources, Inc. under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 19, 2010. On March 24, 2014, the Company changed its name to Sports Asylum, Inc. and on September 30, 2014, to Cell MedX Corp. On November 26, 2014, the Company formed a subsidiary, Avyonce Cosmedics Inc., (the “Subsidiary”) under the laws of British Columbia.
The Company is an early development stage company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of therapeutic products for patients with diseases such as diabetes. Through the Subsidiary, the Company is engaged in reselling and marketing spa technology and equipment as well as providing continuing education to the estheticians and health care professionals in the field of medical aesthetics.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As of May 31, 2015, the Company has not achieved profitable operations and has accumulated a deficit of $1,115,460. Continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to meet obligations and pay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due and ultimately upon its ability to achieve profitable operations. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time and raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management intends to obtain additional funding by borrowing funds from its directors and officers, issuing promissory notes and/or a private placement of common stock.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cell MedX Corp. and the Subsidiary. On consolidation, all intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated.
Accounting estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with US 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the useful life and recoverability of equipment, fair value of stock-based compensation, fair value of financial instruments and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Foreign currency translations and transactions
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into their U.S. dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the period. Related translation adjustments as well as gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are reported as part of operating expenses on the statement of operations.
The Subsidiary’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar. On consolidation, the Subsidiary translates assets and liabilities to U.S. dollars using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date, and translates revenues and expenses using average exchange rates during the period. Gains and losses arising on settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the other comprehensive income. The Company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
CELL MEDX CORP.
(FORMERLY SPORTS ASYLUM, INC.)
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MAY 31, 2015
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized when all the following conditions have been met:
|
·
|
the sales price is fixed or determinable;
|
|
·
|
pervasive evidence of an agreement exists;
|
|
·
|
when delivery of the product has occurred and title has transferred or services have been provided; and
|
|
·
|
when collectability is reasonably assured.
|
Inventory valuation
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, net of trade discounts received, with costs being determined based on the weighted average cost basis.
Research and development costs
The Company expenses all in-house research and development costs in the period they were incurred. Acquired research and development costs are capitalized to the extent that the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the asset can be reasonably estimated or may be verified by an appraisal in certain instances. In all other instances the costs are expensed in the period they were incurred. Acquired research and development costs for a particular research and development project that have no future economic values, are expensed as research and development costs at the time the costs are incurred.
Income taxes
Income tax expense is based on pre-tax financial accounting income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carry forwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Loss per share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted net income per common share includes the potential dilution that could occur upon exercise of the options and warrants to acquire common stock computed using the treasury stock method which assumes that the increase in the number of shares is reduced by the number of shares which could have been repurchased by the Company with the proceeds from the exercise of the options and warrants.
Long-lived assets
In accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment”, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount exceeds fair value.

Financial instruments
The Company’s financial instruments include cash, amounts receivable, accounts payable, notes and advances payable, and amounts due to related parties. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to their short maturities.
Stock options and other share-based compensation
For equity awards, such as stock options, total compensation cost is based on the grant date fair value and for liability awards, such as stock appreciation rights, total compensation cost is based on the settlement value. The company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for all awards over the service period required to earn the award, which is the shorter of the vesting period or the time period an employee becomes eligible to retain the award at retirement.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation”. The Company elected to early adopt the guidance in FASB Topic 915 as of May 31, 2014, and no longer provides the accounting disclosures for development stage companies.
Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other authoritative standards groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In addition, the Vendors were appointed Vice President, Corporate Strategy and Vice President, Technology and Operations of the Company.
The cash consideration paid for acquisition of the Technology has been expensed as research and development costs.

At May 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had a deferred tax asset that related to net operating losses. A full valuation allowance has been established; as management believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
As at May 31, 2015, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $774,500 (2014 - $28,320) to reduce future federal and state taxable income. The Company also has non-capital loss carry forwards of approximately $25,000 (2014 - $Nil) to reduce Canadian taxable income. These losses expire by 2035.
The Company is not currently subject to any income tax examinations by any tax authority. Should a tax examination be opened, management does not anticipate any tax adjustments, if accepted, that would result in a material change to its financial position.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
During our fiscal year ended May 31, 2015, we terminated Sadler, Gibb & Associates LLC as our principal independent accountants and appointed Dale Matheson Carr-Hilton Labonte LLP as our new principal independent accountants. This change in our principal independent accountants was not due to any disagreements with our former principal independent accountants.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In connection with the preparation of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, an evaluation was carried out by our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)) as of May 31, 2015. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Based on that evaluation, our management concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information required to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
|
·
|
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
|
|
·
|
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our Board of Directors; and
|
|
·
|
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
|
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2015, based on criteria established in
Internal Control -Integrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). As a result of this assessment, it was found that the internal controls can be relied upon.
Our independent auditors have not issued an attestation report on management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. As a result, this Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. We were not required to have, nor have we, engaged our independent registered public accounting firm to perform an audit of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.
Changes in Internal Controls
As of the end of the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our results of operations.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our equity securities (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”), to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Under the SEC regulations, Reporting Persons are required to provide us with copies of all forms that they file pursuant to Section 16(a). Based on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, the following persons have, during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015, failed to file, on a timely basis, the reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act:

Nomination Procedure for Directors
We do not have a standing nominating committee. Recommendations for candidates to stand for election as directors are made by our Board of Directors. In carrying out their responsibilities, the Board of Directors will consider candidates suggested by stockholders. If a stockholder wishes to formally place a candidate’s name in nomination, however, he or she must do so in accordance with the provisions of the Company’s Bylaws. Suggestions for candidates to be evaluated by the proposed directors must be sent to the Board of Directors, c/o Cell MedX Corp., 74 N. Pecos Road, Suite D, Henderson, NV 89074.
Identification of Audit Committee
We do not have a separately-designated standing audit committee. Rather, our entire Board of Directors performs the required functions of an audit committee.
Our audit committee is responsible for: (1) selection and oversight of our independent accountant; (2) establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal controls and auditing matters; (3) establishing procedures for the confidential, anonymous submission by our employees of concerns regarding accounting and auditing matters; (4) engaging outside advisors; and, (5) funding for the outside auditory and any outside advisors engagement by the audit committee.
As of May 31, 2015, we did not have a written audit committee charter or similar document and have not adopted any specific policies or procedures for the engagement of non-audit services.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
Frank McEnulty, our Chief Executive Officer, President and a member of our Board of Directors qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert”, as defined by Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Notwithstanding the fact that Mr. McEnulty is not an independent director, we believe that his experience in analyzing and evaluating financial statements, as well as his prior experience being on the board of directors of other public companies will provide us with the guidance we need until we are able to expand our board to include independent directors who have the knowledge and experience to serve on an audit committee.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all our executive officers and employees, including our CEO and CFO. Our Code of Ethics is attached as an exhibit to this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We believe that our Code of Ethics is reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct; provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in public reports; comply with applicable laws; ensure prompt internal reporting of code violations; and provide accountability for adherence to the Code.

On November 24, 2014, we issued to each of Ms. Arnett and Mr. Hargreaves options for the purchase of up to 10,000,000 shares (20,000,000 shares in total) of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share (the “Arnett/Hargreaves Options”). Exercise of the Arnett/Hargreaves Options is subject to certain vesting conditions based on the design, initiation and completion of clinical trials for the e-balance Technology. On November 30, 2014, we amended the terms of the Arnett/Hargreaves Options to re-define the clinical trials to be conducted. As amended, the Arnett/Hargreaves Options vest as follows:

The “First Clinical Trial” means a pilot clinical trial conducted on human subjects designed to test the safety and efficacy of the e-balance Technology as an adjunctive treatment for diabetes mellitus. Objectives for this trial include the identification of markers of improved diabetic control, insight into optimal treatment parameters, magnitude and timing of clinical effects, and measurement of overall efficacy while monitoring for any potential adverse effects.
The “Second Clinical Trial” means a controlled clinical trial conducted on human subjects to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the e-balance Technology in a more formal multicenter format. Specific objectives and study endpoints will be informed by the results of the pilot clinical trial. The magnitude of the e-balance Technology’s bioelectric impacts on diabetes management and outcomes will be investigated over a longer time frame, while seeking to establish optimal prescriptions of current dosing, frequencies, timing, waveform, pulsing, and patterning. The Second Clinical Trial will also include a series of investigations in vitro and in diabetic model animals to further elucidate mechanisms of action, limits of dosing safety, and to explore for occult adverse effects of bioelectrical therapies.
The “Third Clinical Trial” means a formal, controlled & blinded clinical trial conducted on human subjects designed to demonstrate efficacy and safety of the e-balance device, adhering to the rigorous standards of an FDA approved and monitored Investigational New Device, and producing data adequate to support the Pre-Marketing Approval (PMA) application as well as subsequent filings with regulatory agencies in non-U.S. jurisdictions. The claims for the device will be driven by the discoveries of the first two clinical trials as well as animal safety data. The study design will examine the efficacy of e-balance Technology in ameliorating the signs and symptoms of diabetes mellitus, reducing the incidence and/or impact of common complications of diabetes, and improving overall diabetes control. The cost implications of such benefits will also be examined.
Any Arnett/Hargreaves Options that vest and become exercisable will expire on the 5
th
year anniversary of the particular vesting date. Any Arnett/Hargreaves Options that have not vested will expire on December 31, 2019, subject to certain early termination provisions upon the death of the optionee, or if the optionee ceases to act for the Company in any capacity either voluntarily or as a result of a termination or removal
On August 26, 2015, subsequent to our fiscal year end, our board of directors determined that Arnett/Hargreaves Options for the purchase of up to 2,500,000 shares of our common stock (1,250,000 shares each), which were to vest upon the design and commencement of the first clinical trial, have vested.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
|
The compensation paid to our directors during our May 31, 2015 fiscal year, has been disclosed in the tables above.
ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL HOLDERS AND MANAGEMENT.
The following tables set forth certain information concerning the number of shares of our common stock owned beneficially as of August 28, 2015
by: (i) each person (including any group) known to us to own more than five percent (5%) of any class of our voting securities, (ii) each of our directors and each of our named executive officers (as defined under Item 402(m)(2) of Regulation S-K), and (iii) officers and directors as a group. Unless otherwise indicated, the shareholders listed possess sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown.
Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in the following tables does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding. As of August 28, 2015, there were 31,000,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.

Other than a change in control resulting from the exercise by Ms. Arnett and Mr. Hargreaves of their options as described above, we are not aware of any arrangements that might result in a change in control of our Company subsequent to the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.
Director Independence
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Link alternative trading system on the OTCQB marketplace, which does not have director independence requirements. In determining whether any of our directors are independent, we have applied the definition of “independent director” in Section 803 of the NYSE MKT Company Guide. We have determined that, under that definition, as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, none of our directors is independent.
Transactions with Related Persons
Since June 1, 2014, the directors, executive officers, or holders of more than 5% of our common stock, or members of their immediate families, as described below, have completed transactions with us in which they had direct or indirect material interests that exceeded the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of our total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years.
Purchase of the e-balance Technology from Ms. Arnett and Mr. Hargreaves
On November 25, 2014, we completed the acquisition of a proprietary technology for the use of microcurrents for the treatment of diabetes and related ailments (the “e-balance Technology”) from Jean Arnett, our Vice President of Corporate Strategy and a member of our Board of Directors, and Bradley Hargreaves, our Vice President of Technology and Operations. Mr. Hargreaves is the spouse of Ms. Arnett. A description of our acquisition of the e-balance Technology is provided under
Item 1. Description of Business
of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Additional transactions with Ms. Arnett and Mr. Hargreaves
