1. Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business

Pivot Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in British Columbia under the Business Corporations Act on June 10, 2002. On April 7, 2015, the Company changed its name from Neurokine Pharmaceuticals Inc. to Pivot Pharmaceuticals Inc. The Company is in the business of developing and commercializing therapeutic pharmaceutical products, focused on the strategy of identifying new therapeutic treatments to address unmet medical needs in women’s health.

These consolidated 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 of October 31, 2017, the Company has not earned any revenue, has a working capital of $145,887 and an accumulated deficit of $20,392,333. 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 Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated 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 consolidated 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 U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is January 31.

(b) Use of Estimates

The preparation of these consolidated 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 consolidated 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, 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 Company’s 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 condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown. The condensed consolidated results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year or for any future period. Certain disclosures and financial information have been condensed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(d) Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company. Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The consolidating entities include:

(e) 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 consolidated statement of operations. 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 for all exercisable options and warrants and the if-converted method for all outstanding convertible debentures. 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. As at October 31, 2017, the Company had 2,822,046 (January 31, 2017 – 9,692,748) potentially dilutive shares.

(f) 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 instrument’s 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.

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related parties and promissory note. Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of our cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(g) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its consolidated 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 consolidated financial position or results of operations.

3. Disposal of Asset

On September 11, 2017, the Company completed an exchange agreement whereby the Company exchanged with its past Chief Executive Officer 100% of its shares of common stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary, IndUS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“IndUS”), for 3,800,000 shares of common stock of the Company (Note 9(a)). Pursuant to the exchange agreement, the Company has provided its former Chief Executive Officer a promissory note (Note 8(a)) in the amount of $200,000 in discharge of all obligations with respect to Dr. Chaturvedi’s accrued salary totaling $267,267 through September 11, 2017.

The disposal of IndUS resulted in a gain as follows:

The disposal of IndUS did not meet the definition of discontinued operations as it did not represent a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results.

4. Asset Acquisitions

(a) BiPhasix License

On September 12, 2017, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with Altum Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Altum”) whereby the Company acquired worldwide rights to the BiPhasix™ transdermal drug delivery technology for the development and commercialization of Cannabinoids, Cannabidiol and Tetrahydrocannabinol products. Consideration included:

(b) Solmic Solubilization License

On September 23, 2017, the Company entered into a collaboration and license agreement with SolMic GmbH (“Solmic”) whereby the Company will acquire worldwide rights to Solmic’s Solubilization Technology for the development and commercialization of cannabinoid-containing natural extracts. Milestones include payments upon the following developments: 1) Regulatory approval of a natural health product; 2) First approval of an investigative new drug application for a pharmaceutical product; 3) Positive outcome of a Phase II clinical trial of a pharmaceutical product in the first indication; and 4) Approval of a New Drug Application for a pharmaceutical product by the US Food and Drug Administration.

6. Convertible Debenture

On September 30, 2016, the Company issued a convertible debenture with a non-related party for $500,000 Canadian Dollars ($380,411 US Dollars at September 30, 2016) (“Initial Advance”). The debenture is secured under a General Security Agreement, bears interest at 8% per annum and matures on the earlier of:

The Company may request one or more additional advances of up to an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 Canadian Dollars (“Additional Advances”) provided that the aggregate amount under the convertible debenture does not exceed $1,500,000 Canadian Dollars.

The note, including the Initial Advance and any Additional Advances, is convertible into common shares at a conversion price equal to the average closing market price of the Company’s common stock during the five day period leading up to the conversion date. The Company recorded the conversion feature of the convertible debenture as a derivative liability at an estimated fair value of $134,892 with a corresponding discount to the convertible debenture (Note 7).

Pursuant to the convertible loan agreement, the Company issued 434,622 share purchase warrants to which the lender may acquire an interest in the Company equal to 12% of the maximum principal amount outstanding at any time at a price of $0.10 per share, which equates to the ten day average trading price of the Company’s common stock determined as at September 30, 2016. The Company calculated the 434,622 share purchase warrants based on the maximum outstanding principal balance on the convertible loan as of September 30, 2016. The Company recorded the share purchase warrant at an estimated fair value of $20,154 with a corresponding discount to the convertible debenture (Note 11).

General Overview

We are a development stage pharmaceutical 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 changed our name to “Neurokine Pharmaceuticals Inc.”.

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 500,000,000 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.

On September 26, 2014, our company held a special meeting of stockholders to approve the removal of our company’s Pre-Existing Company Provisions, the cancellation of our current Articles and the adoption of new Articles and to approve a reverse stock split on the basis of up to one new common stock for every 100 old common stock.

Effective October 8, 2014, we filed with the British Columbia Registrar of Companies a Form 11, Notice of Alteration, wherein we removed our Pre-Existing Company Provisions.

Effective April 7, 2015, we filed with the British Columbia Registrar of Companies a Form 11, Notice of Alteration, wherein we changed our name to “Pivot Pharmaceuticals Inc.”.

Effective at the opening of trading on April 20, 2015, as approved by FINRA, our company effected a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common shares on the basis of 10 old common stock for 1 new common stock.

On November 20, 2015, we completed the acquisition of IndUS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“IndUS”), a Delaware corporation, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Acquisition Agreement dated as of November 4, 2015 among our company, Pivot Pharma U.S. Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary, IndUS and Sindu Research Laboratories Pvt Ltd. As consideration for the purchase, we issued 4,512,500 shares of common stock on November 23, 2015 and 237,500 shares of common stock on December 4, 2015 and granted 41,833 stock options pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger. As part of the acquisition, we appointed Dr. Pravin Chaturvedi as our new Chief Executive Officer and Director. On September 11, 2017, we completed an exchange agreement whereby we exchanged with Dr. Chaturvedi 100% of its shares of common stock of IndUS for 3,800,000 shares of common stock of Pivot, upon which Dr. Chaturvedi resigned as Chief Executive Officer and Director.

On September 12, 2017, we entered into a licensing agreement with Altum Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Altum”) whereby we were granted worldwide rights to BiPhasix Transdermal Drug Delivery Technology (“BiPhasix Technology”) for the delivery and commercialization of cannabinoids, cannabidiol (“CBD”), and tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”) based products. Financial consideration included:

On September 23, 2017, we entered into a collaboration and license agreement with SolMic GmbH (“Solmic”) whereby we will acquire worldwide rights to Solmic’s Solubilisation Technology for the development and commercialization of cannabinoid-containing natural extracts. Milestones include payments upon the following developments: 1) Regulatory approval of a natural health product; 2) First approval of an investigative new drug application for a pharmaceutical product; 3) Positive outcome of a Phase II clinical trial of a pharmaceutical product in the first indication; and 4) Approval of a New Drug Application for a pharmaceutical product by the US Food and Drug Administration. Other consideration include a sales milestone upon aggregate net sales of $5,000,000 and royalties on aggregate net sales.

On November 7, 2017, we signed a letter of intent to enter into a licensing agreement with Thrudermic LLC (“Thrudermic”) by January 18, 2018, whereby we will acquire worldwide rights for the development and commercialization of the Thrudermic Nano Technology (“TNT”) for all cannabinoids. Consideration will include:

Our principal executive office is located at 1275 West 6th Avenue, Vancouver, B.C. Canada V6H 1A6. Our telephone number is (604) 805-7783.

Our Current Business

We are an emerging biopharmaceutical company engaged in the development and commercialization of therapeutic pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals, as well as drug delivery platform technologies.

Our company focuses on pharmaceutical development of proprietary drug delivery technologies for multiple indications using small molecules, biological and botanical (e.g. cannabinoids) products to treat unmet medical needs. We have in-licensed a patented topical transdermal drug delivery technology platform, BiPhasix, and an oral drug delivery technology, Solmic Micelle, for delivery of cannabinoids.

Our fully-owned subsidiary, Pivot Green Stream Health Solutions Inc. (“PGS”), focuses on the research, development, and commercialization of cannabinoid based nutraceuticals. PGS will generate data to support the safety and efficacy of cannabinoids as Natural Health Product (“NHPs”) as outlined in Health Canada Regulations in order to make particular health claims. Health Canada publishes the Natural Health Products Regulations (“NHPR”) which set out the requirements governing the sale, manufacture, packaging, labelling, importation, distribution and storage of NHPs.

According to Health Canada, the objective of the NHPR is to provide reasonable assurance that products offered for sale in Canada are safe, efficacious and of high quality. PGS may also follow applicable and harmonized regulations for product development and commercialization in the US, European Union and Asia Pacific regions. Alternatively, PGS will commercialize certain cannabinoid products with a Licensed Producer and/or Licensed Distributor as per the regulations concerning Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (“ACMPR”) since certain active ingredients in cannabinoids remain restricted until new legislation permits ease of development and distribution in 2018.

Lastly, PGS may also develop products containing cannabinoid active ingredients obtained from industrial hemp according to the Industrial Hemp Regulations (“IHR”) permitting such products provided they are sourced from industrial hemp. Otherwise stated, this means that the plants and plant parts of the genera Cannabis, the leaves and flowering heads of which do not contain more than 0.3% THC w/w, and includes the derivatives of such plants and plant parts.

PGS’s pipeline targets indications such as cancer supportive care, pain and inflammation, women’s sexual dysfunction, dermatology and eye disease.

Our overall strategy includes the following:

Our Research and Development Strategy

Our management team has implemented a business minded and cost conscious approach to product research and development by focusing on development of novel therapies to address unmet needs in health care. Our research and development strategy will apply novel drug delivery options for new and/or existing drugs or NHPs.

For a drug to be successful it must be both efficacious and acceptably safe. Before a drug may be commercially marketed, it must be scrutinized and approved by applicable health authorities (such as Health Canada and the FDA in the United States) in each country or jurisdiction where it is sought to be sold. In pharmaceutical research and development, clinical trials are conducted to assess the safety and efficacy of the drug and the data to be collected for such new drugs. Health authorities then scrutinize the preclinical and clinical data and determine, based on the results, whether a drug may be sold to the public. Similarly, clinical trials can only take place once satisfactory information has been gathered on the quality of the product and its non-clinical safety, and approval to conduct clinical trials has been granted by the appropriate health authority in the country where the trial is scheduled to take place.

Clinical trials involving new drugs are commonly classified into four phases. Each phase of the drug approval process is treated as a separate clinical trial. The drug development process will normally proceed through all four phases over many years. If the drug successfully passes through Phases I, II and III, it will usually be approved by the national regulatory authority for use in the general population. Phase IV trials are ‘post approval’ studies. Due to the considerable cost that may be required to complete a full series of clinical trials, the burden of paying for all the necessary people and services is usually borne by the sponsor, who may be the pharmaceutical or biotechnology company that developed the drug that is the subject of the study. Since the diversity of roles may exceed the resources of the sponsor, clinical trials are often managed by outsourced partners such as contract research organizations. Furthermore, approval rates for new drugs at each clinical trial stage are prohibitively low, which may require the sponsor to finance additional trials or abandon the drug under development altogether.

We will also develop products regulated under Canada’s Natural Health Products Guidance and support claims with clinical based data as per current regulations.

Preclinical safety studies for pharmaceutical or NHP product development will be conducted over the next 12 months to advance at least one of our product candidates.

Our Product Candidates

PGS-N005 (Female Sexual Dysfunction CBD Topical Cream)

Using our BiPhasix platform technology, we will develop and commercialize a topical cream containing CBDs (“PGS-N005”) for perimenopausal, menopausal and post-menopausal women who have noticed a decline in sexual desire and response, known as hypoactive sexual desire disorder. Up to 63% of sexually active women in the U.S. might be affected by female sexual dysfunction (“FSD”). While erectile dysfunction in men has been extensively researched, very little has been completed on FSD which can involve reduced sex drive, difficulty becoming aroused, vaginal dryness, lack of orgasm and decreased sexual satisfaction. The FSD market in the U.S. is estimated to exceed $4 billion with over 50 million potential sufferers.¹

PGS-N007 (Psoriasis BiPhasix CBD Topical Cream)

Using our BiPhasix platform technology, we will develop and commercialize a topical cream containing CBDs (“PGS-N007”) for psoriasis. Preclinical research has shown that CBD has potent anti-inflammatory properties suggesting that cannabinoids may be helpful for inflammation-related skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema. CBD, THC and other cannabinoids are anti-psoriasis agents. Under a psoriasis condition, skin cells are replaced every three to five days rather than the normal 30 days. This excessive and rapid growth of the epidermal layer of the skin generates red, itchy and scaly patches, which may be localized or completely cover the body.²

Psoriasis is generally considered an autoimmune and genetic disease triggered by environmental factors. Cold, medications, infections, traumas, body and psychological stress may play a role in starting the disease. Psoriasis is not contagious and there is no current cure for it. However, various treatments can control the symptoms. Psoriasis is associated with an increased risk of psoriatic arthritis, lymphomas, cardiovascular disease, Crohn’s disease and depression. Psoriatic arthritis affects up to 30% of individuals with psoriasis.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

Working Capital

Our total current assets as of October 31, 2017 were $295,912 as compared to total current assets of $129,758 as of January 31, 2017. The increase was primarily due to private placements of $223,000 made during the period. Our total current liabilities as of October 31, 2017 were $150,025 as compared to total current liabilities of $1,606,979 as of January 31, 2017. The decrease in current liabilities was primarily attributed to forgiveness of accrued management and consulting fees, accounts payable settled through issuance of shares of our common stock and conversion of convertible debts into shares of our common stock during the nine months ended October 31, 2017.

Cash Flows

Operating Activities

During the nine months ended October 31, 2017, our cash used by operating activities decreased by $60,117 when compared to cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended October 31, 2016. The decrease in cash used for operating activities was a result of our company’s efforts at minimizing cash outlays.

Investing Activities

During the nine months ended October 31, 2017, we acquired a license for worldwide rights to the BiPhasix Technology for the delivery and commercialization of cannabinoids, CBD, and THC based products by issuing 2,500,000 shares of our common stock valued at $250,000. We did not have any investing activities during the nine months ended October 31, 2016.

Financing Activities

During the nine months ended October 31, 2017, we received $332,625 (2016 - $381,350) in cash from financing activities.

In order for our company to expand its operations, we will require additional funds. The required additional 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 have negative cash flows from operating activities and may continue to be unprofitable. We will need to raise additional funds in the immediate future in order to proceed with our expanded operations. We have negative cash flows from operating activities. If we cannot generate sufficient revenues to operate with positive cash flows from operating activities or are unable to raise additional funds, we may suspend or cease our operations.

In order for the Company to expand its operations and pursue its business plans related to development of its product candidates, we will require additional funds. Specifically, we estimate our operating expenses and working capital requirements for the next 12 months for our expanded operations to be as follows:

_______________

Based on our planned expenditures, we will require approximately C$200,250 to proceed with the Stage 1 of our business plan over the next 12 months, which is the development of BiPhasix cream without active pharmaceutical ingredients.

The objectives that we expect to accomplish are as follows:

The following are significant milestones we expect to accomplish:

Funds raised will be used towards the recruitment of appropriate management and research and development (“R&D”) personnel, as well as towards product development expenditures. Specifically, the funds will be used to cover R&D expenses associated with 1) manufacturing scale-up of PGS-N005 and PGS-N007, funds permitting for PGS-N007, at a GMP-certified, high potency drug manufacturing facility; 2) development and manufacture of formulation of PGS-N005 and PGS-N007, funds permitting for PGS-N007, at a GMP-certified product manufacturing facility for administration of the drug candidates in animals (for safety evaluation) and subsequently to humans 3) submission to appropriate regulatory authorities for NHP registration.

Inflation

The amounts presented in the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing consolidated 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 management’s application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our consolidated financial statements is critical to an understanding of our consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, assumptions used to determine the fair values of stock-based compensation and derivative liabilities, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. Our 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 our company may differ materially and adversely from our company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

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.

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 instrument’s 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.

Our company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and amounts due to related parties. Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and derivative liabilities is determined based on “Level 2” inputs, as determined by observable market data. We believe that the recorded values of all of our other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of our parent entity, Pivot Pharmaceuticals Inc., is the Canadian dollar and the functional currency of our subsidiary is the US dollar. Our company’s presentation currency is the US dollar.

Monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the consolidated 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.

Results of operations are translated into our company’s presentation currency, US dollars, at an appropriate average rate of exchange during the year. Net assets and liabilities are translated to US dollars for presentation purposes at rates of exchange in effect at the end of the period. Gains or losses arising on translation are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) as foreign currency translation adjustments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Our company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact our consolidated 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 consolidated financial position or results of operations.
