NEUROKINE PHARMACEUTICALS INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements
Period Ended July 31, 2014 (unaudited)
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
1.
Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business
Neurokine Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in British Columbia under the Business Corporations Act on June 10, 2002. The Company is a development stage company, as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 915, Development Stage Entities, and is in the business of developing and commercializing new uses for existing prescription drugs for diseases mediated by acute and chronic inflammatory reactions as well as developing proprietary encapsulation technology in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As at July 31, 2014, the Company has not earned any revenue, has a working capital deficit of $591,955 and an accumulated deficit of $2,859,943. The continued operations of the Company are dependent on its ability to generate future cash flows or obtain additional financing. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
2.
Significant Accounting Policies
(a)
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements and the related notes of the Company are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and are expressed in Canadian dollars. The Companys fiscal year-end is January 31.
(b)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States 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. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, valuation of convertible debentures, assumptions used to determine the fair values of stock-based compensation and derivative liabilities, 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 Companys estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
(c)
Interim Financial Statements
These interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year or for any future period.
8
2.
Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(d)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. As at July 31 and January 31, 2014, the Company had no cash equivalents.
(e)
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is comprised of office equipment and is recorded at cost. The Company amortizes the cost of equipment on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life of five years.
(f)
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 is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.
(g)
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation Stock-Based Compensation, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
(h)
Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative financial instruments that are not classified as equity and are not used in hedging relationships are measured at fair value. Subsequent changes to fair value are recorded in the statement of operations.
(i)
Loss Per Share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive. At July 31, 2014, the Company has nil (January 31, 2014 nil) potentially dilutive shares.

2.
Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(j)
Comprehensive Loss
ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at July 31 and January 31, 2014, the Company had no items representing comprehensive income or loss.
(k)
Research and Development Costs
Research costs are expensed in the period that they are incurred.
(l)
Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instruments categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
(m)
Foreign Currency Translation
The Companys functional currency and its reporting currency is the Canadian dollar and foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in United States dollars. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. Expenses are translated at average rates for the period. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.

(n)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
(o)
Comparative Figures
During the period, the Company determined that certain transactions affecting stockholders equity had inadvertently been recorded using a par value of $0.001 in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2014.
The Company has determined that its previously filed Form 10-K included a misclassification of $33,000 related to equity. After taking the reclassification into account, the balances of common shares and additional paid-in capital as of January 31, 2014, are $1,184,148 and $754,586, respectively.

The debenture is unsecured, bears interest at 8% per annum, and matured on December 23, 2011. The note is convertible into common shares at a conversion price equal to 55% of the average closing market price of the lowest three trading prices of the Companys common stock during the preceding ten days prior to conversion.

As of July 31, 2014, the fair value of the conversion option derivative liability was $1,404 (January 31, 2014 - $73,133).
(c)
On July 4, 2011, the Company issued a note payable with a non-related party for $85,000. The note was unsecured, due interest at 24% per annum, and due on October 4, 2011. On October 4, 2011, the note was extended to January 4, 2012 under the same terms of the original agreement.
On December 4, 2011, the Company agreed to modify the principal balance owing of $85,000 and accrued interest of $8,551 into a new $100,000 note payable, which is unsecured, due interest at 24% per annum, and due on December 3, 2012. In addition, the note became convertible into common shares of the Company at a conversion rate of $0.001 per share. As part of the conversion to extend the note, the Company issued 10,000,000 common shares with a fair value of $225,000 as a termination fee of the original note agreement.

General Overview
We are a development stage biopharmaceutical company. We were incorporated in the Province of British Columbia, Canada under the name 649186 B.C. Ltd. on June 10, 2002. On September 9, 2003, we changed our name to Xerxes Health Corp. and on June 26, 2007, we adopted our current name, Neurokine Pharmaceuticals Inc.. We have no subsidiaries.
Effective June 4, 2014, we filed with the British Columbia Registrar of Companies a Form 11, Notice of Alteration, wherein we increased our authorized share capital from 200,000,000 common shares without par value to an unlimited number of common shares without par value. The increase of authorized capital was approved by our stockholders at the annual and special meeting held on June 3, 2014.
Our principal executive office is located at 1275 West 6th Avenue, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6H 1A6. Our telephone number is (604) 805-7783.
16
We are engaged in the development and commercialization of therapeutic pharmaceutical products with a strategic emphasis on research and development to innovate applications for existing drugs. This is commonly known as drug re-profiling. Our research and development activities are focused on assessing known drugs and compounds, developing hypotheses concerning their usage for new indications (diseases), and conducting experimentation and clinical research to test those hypotheses. Where appropriate based on our research, we intend to depart from a strict re-profiling strategy to develop new variants of, or delivery methods for, existing drugs or compounds.
Our Current Business
We are a development stage biopharmaceutical company engaged in the development and commercialization of therapeutic pharmaceutical products, with a strategic emphasis on the innovation of new therapeutic uses for existing drugs. This is commonly known as drug re-profiling. Our research and development activities are focused on assessing known drugs and compounds, developing hypotheses concerning their usage for new indications (diseases), and conducting experimentation and clinical research to test those hypotheses. Where appropriate based on our research, we intend to depart from a strict re-profiling strategy to develop new variants of, or delivery methods for, existing drugs or compounds.
Our focus on drug re-profiling, although not uncommon amongst pharmaceutical companies, differs from traditional drug development practices which focus largely on the development of new drugs.
To date, we have concentrated our research on innovating applications for existing drugs for the treatment of diseases and conditions mediated by acute and chronic inflammatory reactions. The diseases and conditions that have been the subject of our research include:
·
neurocognitive impairment, and specifically, neurocognitive impairment in post-coronary artery bypass graft (also known as CABG or heart bypass) surgery patients;
·
degenerative central nervous system diseases, and specifically, Alzheimers disease; and
·
degenerative disk disease, and specifically, discogenic neck and back pain conditions.
Through our research we have identified and, where required, secured the rights necessary to develop two anti-inflammatory products, NK-001 and NK-002, that we believe hold promising prospects for the treatment of neurocognitive impairment and Alzheimers disease, respectively. Of these, NK-001 falls under our re-profiling strategy, as it is a new application of the drug Etanercept, which is marketed under FDA approval as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. Accordingly, we do not anticipate that NK-001 will require pre-clinical, preliminary safety or pharmacokinetic (the process by which the drug is metabolized by the body) studies. Because Etanercept has already been the subject of safety studies on a patient population similar to patients targeted by NK-001, we do not anticipate requiring additional pre-clinical or safety studies before proceeding to later stage clinical trials, and we have received approval to conduct clinical trials in South Africa on that basis.
In contrast, NK-002 is a new formulation for the delivery of Etanercept and is therefore properly classified as a new drug. As a new drug, NK-002 will require a full development program, including a full range of successful pre-clinical, safety, and pharmacokinetic studies before advanced clinical testing will be permitted to occur. Both of our planned products, including our flagship product NK-001, are in the development stage as of the date of this quarterly report and neither has been approved for sale to the public in any country.
17
The research and development activities required to produce the intellectual property underlying our two product candidates, NK-001 and NK-002, was carried out by Dr. Ahmad Doroudian, a director and officer of our company, Jonathan Willmer, our former chief medical officer and former director, and Dr. Hassan Salari, our former officer and director, in their capacity as our officers. To date, we have outsourced all other research and development work to third parties, including clinical trial planning, laboratory services, data management, statistical services and report writing. We have relied primarily on three contractors in this regard. The first, Globe Laboratories Inc., is a center for drug research and development founded and controlled by Julian Salari, a former officer and director of our company, that provides us with expertise in manufacturing certain generic drugs that are the basis of our planned products. The second, Virtus, is a South African firm that specializes in the planning and execution of clinical trials and has developed the clinical protocol of NK-001 on our behalf and entered into an agreement with us to conduct that clinical trial. The third, Northern Lipids Inc., assisted us to develop certain liposomal encapsulations for our development of NK-002. We anticipate that we will continue to rely on third parties to satisfy our research and development requirements until such time as it becomes cost effective to hire employees to satisfy those requirements.
On April 26, 2013, we issued a convertible debenture with a non-related party for $15,254 (US$15,000). The debenture is secured by 15,000,000 shares of common stock of our company, to be delivered to the lender if principal and interest are not repaid on maturity, bears interest at 24% per annum, and matured on April 27, 2014. As the debenture matured unpaid, 15,000,000 shares of common stock became issuable. The note, plus accrued interest, is convertible into common shares at a conversion price of US$0.001 per share at the discretion of the lender and at any time during the term of this debenture.
On September 26, 2013, we entered into a debt settlement subscription agreement with a director and officer of our company, Ahmad Doroudian. Pursuant to the agreement our board of directors authorized the issuance to Dr. Doroudian of 35,000,000 shares in our common stock at the price of $0.001 per share. The securities were issued in full settlement of $35,000 in debt payable on demand to Dr. Doroudian in respect of cash advances made by him to our company. As a result of the transaction Dr. Doroudian owns or beneficial owns the aggregate of 43,059,784 shares of our common stock which constitutes approximately 60% of our issued and outstanding voting securities as at the date of this report.

Our total current liabilities as of July 31, 2014 were $602,819 as compared to total current liabilities of $728,915 as of January 31, 2014. The decrease in current liabilities was attributed to a decrease in the current portion of derivative liabilities offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, loans payable, due to related parties and convertible debentures.

During the six months ended July 31, 2014, we received $nil in cash from financing activities compared with proceeds of $15,254 during the six months ended July 31, 2013 from the issuance of a convertible debenture.
We will require additional funds to fund our budgeted expenses over the next 12 months. These funds may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. There is still no assurance that we will be able to maintain operations at a level sufficient for an investor to obtain a return on his investment in our common stock. Further, we may continue to be unprofitable. We need to raise additional funds in the immediate future in order to proceed with our budgeted expenses.

Specifically, we estimate our operating expenses and working capital requirements for the next 12 months to be as follows:
|

Based on our planned expenditures, we will require additional funds of approximately $737,200 to proceed with our business plan over the next 12 months. If we secure less than the full amount of financing that we require, we will not be able to carry out our complete business plan and we will be forced to proceed with a scaled back business plan based on our available financial resources.
Inflation
The amounts presented in the financial statements do not provide for the effect of inflation on our operations or financial position. The net operating losses shown would be greater than reported if the effects of inflation were reflected either by charging operations with amounts that represent replacement costs or by using other inflation adjustments.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by managements application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financial statements.
20
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements and the related notes of our company are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and are expressed in Canadian dollars. Our companys fiscal year-end is January 31.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States 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. Our company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the recoverability of long-lived assets, valuation of convertible debentures, assumptions used to determine the fair value of stock-based compensation and derivative liabilities, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. Our company bases our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe 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 our company may differ materially and adversely from our companys estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Our company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. As at July 31, 2014, and January 31, 2014, our company had no cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is comprised of office equipment and is recorded at cost. Our company amortizes the cost of equipment on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life of five years.
Long-lived Assets
In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, our 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 is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.
Stock-Based Compensation
Our company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation Stock-Based Compensation, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
21
Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative financial instruments that are not classified as equity and are not used in hedging relationships are measured at fair value. Subsequent changes to fair value are recorded in the statement of operations.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Our company computes net earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. At July 31, 2014, our company has nil (January 31, 2014 nil) potentially dilutive shares.
Comprehensive Loss
ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at July 31, 2014, and January 31, 2014, our company had no items representing comprehensive income or loss.
Research and Development Costs
Research costs are expensed in the period that they are incurred.
Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instruments categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3 - Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Foreign Currency Translation
Our companys functional currency and its reporting currency is the Canadian dollar and foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in United States dollars. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. Expenses are translated at average rates for the period. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Our company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact our financial statements and we do not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
