Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Period ended April 30, 2017

(Expressed in U.S. dollars)

 

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 April 30, 2017, the Company has not earned any revenue, has a working capital deficit of $1,735,893 and an accumulated deficit of $20,917,570. 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:

 

 

 

% of ownership

 

 

Jurisdiction

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pivot Pharmaceuticals Inc.

 

Parent

 

 

Canada

 

IndUS Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

 

 

100%

 

USA

 

 

 

(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 April 30, 2017, the Company had 4,115,304 (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 convertible debenture. 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.

 

 

 

 

(h) Reclassification

 

 

 

 

Results for the three months ended April 30, 2016 have been reclassified to allocate previously reported stock-based compensation of $3,030,288 as follows: $817,409 to general and administrative, $77,505 to professional fees and $2,135,374 to management fees.

 

3. 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 date the lender demands repayment of principal and interest following an event of default,

 

 

· The date of a dissolution event,

 

 

· The date of a liquidity event, and

 

 

· March 30, 2017.

 

 

 

 

 

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 4).

 

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, 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 6).

 

As of April 30, 2017, the carrying value of the convertible debenture is $365,978 (January 31, 2017 - $275,011) which is net of debt discounts related to conversion feature, financing costs and warrants of $nil, $nil and $nil, respectively (January 31, 2017 - $94,709, $6,126 and $6,477, respectively). As of April 30, 2017, interest accrued on the convertible debenture is $17,998 (January 31, 2017 - $10,307) and the fair value of the conversion option derivative liability is $221,317 (January 31, 2017 - $312,541).

Our Current Business

 

We are a development stage biopharmaceutical company engaged in the development and commercialization of therapeutic pharmaceutical products, focused on the strategy of identifying new therapeutic treatments to address unmet medical needs in women’s health including but not limited to urological and/or gynecological disturbances; and advancing novel anticancer drug candidates to provide new treatment options for metastatic cancers in women that do not have adequate treatment options or have poor response to existing treatment options due to inherent or acquired mutations. Our research and development activities are focused on i) advancing novel drug candidates for the treatment of women’s cancers including, but not limited to metastatic endometrial cancer and triple-negative breast cancer, which have limited treatment options; and ii) leveraging novel drug delivery treatment options to allow ‘targeted’ delivery of drugs to address women’s health needs in urological and/or gynecological indications, and iii) opportunistically in-licensing later-stage drug candidates to augment our drug pipeline. Where appropriate, we intend to depart from these strategies to opportunistically acquire additional novel treatment options to address unmet or under-served medical needs in women’s health.

 

Our business model currently includes the following activities:

 

 

· identifying novel drug delivery technologies that will allow targeted drug delivery for drugs;

 

· securing and developing intellectual property rights to such products;

 

· conducting appropriate laboratory tests and clinical trials;

 

· advancing novel drug candidates to treat women’s cancers from our acquisition of IndUS to support Investigational New Drug application to allow first-in-human trials;

 

· opportunistically acquiring later-stage drug candidates that provide new treatment options to address unmet medical needs in women’s health in cancer and lower urinary tract symptoms; and

 

· establishing partnerships with large and specialty pharmaceutical companies and/or biotechnology companies to collaboratively develop and/or commercialize our products.

One of our areas of focus includes developing therapeutic applications for existing drugs using novel delivery technologies for the treatment of diseases and conditions specific to cancer and/or urological disturbances in women. The diseases and conditions that are the subject of our research and development program include addressing resistant cancers affecting women’s health and developing new treatment options using novel drugs and/or novel delivery approaches to address oncological and urological conditions such as various gynecological and breast cancers as well as lower urinary tract symptoms such as overactive bladder. Our current pipeline addresses the therapeutic areas of cancer and potentially other indications such as lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and pain:

 

 

· Metastatic endometrial cancer (PVT-005)

 

· Triple-negative breast cancer (PVT-006)

 

PVT-005 and PVT-006 are novel and patented anticancer small molecule drug candidates acquired through the acquisition of IndUS. These molecules are novel DNA damage response inhibitors and belong to the chemical class of pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimers (PBDs). These molecules have shown preclinical activity in cancers that have mutations in their tumor suppression and/or DNA repair abilities and have shown ‘synthetic lethality’ when dosed as monotherapy in such resistant cancers and/or in combination with standard-of-care drugs that are used in chemotherapeutic regimens for such patients. PVT-005 and PVT-006 have shown excellent activity in tumor cells that have genetic or epigenetic mutations in DNA mismatch repair (mlh1, MSH2), tumor suppression functions (p53, PTEN) and/or homologous recombination (HR) functions. They have shown significant synergies with platinum-based drugs such as cisplatin, and other drugs like topoisomerase II and I inhibitors (doxorubicin and camptothecin, respectively) and receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitors – all or some of which are part of standard-of-care chemotherapeutic regimens to treat ovarian, breast, colorectal, non-small cell lung and other cancers that affect women’s health.

 

Our research and development strategy is focused on developing novel treatment options to address various unmet medical needs in women’s health, including but not limited to urological issues and breast and gynecological cancers such as metastatic endometrial or triple-negative breast cancer that have inherent or acquired mutations rendering them resistant to existing treatment options and represent orphan drug designation opportunities.

 

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 women’s health. Our research and development strategy will apply novel delivery options for new and/or existing drugs to address unmet medical needs affecting women’s health as well as advance some of its patented and proprietary novel anticancer drugs in gynecological and/or breast cancers through its recent acquisition of IndUS.

 

In order 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 Food and Drug Administration (“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.

Our research and development strategy includes the development of novel anticancer drugs targeting subsets of women’s cancer patients that have metastatic endometrial, triple-negative breast and/or ovarian cancer, to explore the opportunity of securing an orphan drug designation (intended for patient populations <200,000 in the US). Since our anticancer portfolio has novel drugs that will require the conduct of nonclinical and clinical studies for new molecular entities (NMEs); we may also use targeted delivery options for approved (generic) drugs to avoid the higher cost of repeating one or more pre-clinical or clinical, safety, pharmacokinetic or other tests by applying novel drug delivery approaches to get targeted delivery of drugs and get a quicker time to market by leveraging a US regulatory pathway termed 505b2 applications. In doing so, a company may reduce the time required to complete the necessary research and development activities, which can typically take in excess of ten years, by more than half, as well as reduce the corresponding development costs.

 

Our acquisition of Greater Boston-based IndUS has provided us with a portfolio of novel, patented and proprietary, novel anticancer drug candidates from multiple chemical classes of molecules referred to as pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimers (PBDs). These molecules have shown excellent anticancer potential during their initial biological testing conducted at the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, MD. Subsequent to their initial biological evaluation, chemical scale-up and formulation studies were conducted to evaluate their pharmacokinetics in rats and two novel and patented pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimers were prioritized for advancement through preclinical studies to support first-in-human studies. PVT-005 and PVT-006 provide novel treatment options in combination with existing chemotherapeutic regimens to address unmet medical needs in women’s cancers. Our initial focus for PVT-005 is in patients with metastatic endometrial cancer, which harbors microsatellite (genomic) instability mutations in DNA replication and repair pathways that render the cancer resistant to many existing chemotherapy options. It is estimated that approximately 43,000 women in the United States have metastatic endometrial cancer that would become eligible for new therapy options following their initial treatments and PVT-005 will be added to the standard chemotherapeutic regimen(s) that will be used to treat metastatic endometrial cancer. Similarly, PVT-006, a novel and patented pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimer, distinct from PVT-005, has been identified as a lead candidate to address unmet medical needs of women with triple-negative breast cancer. Triple-negative breast cancer is a very aggressive form of breast cancer that affects younger women, predominantly of African-American descent. It is estimated that approximately 170,000 women in the United States have triple-negative breast cancer. Five different molecular subtypes of triple-negative breast cancer have been identified and the basal-like subtype of triple-negative breast cancer (BL-TNBC) affects at least 40,000 women in the United States. PVT-006 is more likely to be effective in combination with existing anticancer agents, in basal-like triple-negative breast cancer subtype due to their mutations in DNA repair and replication pathways, which PVT-006 targets as its mechanism of action.

 

Preclinical safety studies will be conducted over the next 12 months to advance at least one of these candidates to an IND-stage to allow initiation of clinical studies in these highly unmet medical needs in women’s cancer.

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:

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.
