BIOTRICITY, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 (Unaudited)
(Expressed in US dollars)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Biotricity, Inc. (formerly MetaSolutions, Inc.) (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on August 29, 2012.
iMedical Innovations Inc. (iMedical) was incorporated on July 3, 2014 under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada.
Both the Company and iMedical are engaged in research and development activities within the remote monitoring segment of preventative care. They are focused on a realizable healthcare business model that has an existing market and commercialization pathway. As such, its efforts to date have been devoted in building technology that enables access to this market through the development of a tangible product.
On February 2, 2016, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with 1061806 BC LTD. (Callco), a British Columbia corporation and wholly owned subsidiary (incorporated on February 2, 2016), 1062024 B.C. LTD., a company existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (Exchangeco), iMedical, and the former shareholders of iMedical (the Exchange Agreement), whereby Exchangeco acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of iMedical, taking into account certain shares pursuant to the Exchange Agreement as further explained in Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. These subsidiaries were solely used for the issuance of exchangeable shares in the reverse takeover transaction and have no other transactions or balances. After giving effect to this transaction, the Company acquired all of iMedicals assets and liabilities and commenced operations through iMedical.
As a result of the Share Exchange, iMedical is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. This transaction has been accounted for as reverse merger. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations reflected in the consolidated financial statements for the periods prior to February 2, 2016 are those of iMedical and are recorded at the historical cost basis. After February 2, 2016, the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements include the assets and liabilities of both iMedical and the Company and the historical operations of both after that date as one entity.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND MEASUREMENT
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP) for interim financial information and the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of SEC Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with Biotricitys audited financial statements for the four months ended December 31, 2015 and year ended August 31, 2015 and notes thereto included in the Form 10-KT filed with the SEC on April 13, 2016 and iMedicals audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 and notes thereto included in the Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on April 13, 2016. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016. The Companys fiscal year-end is December 31.
7
3. GOING CONCERN
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred recurring losses from operations and as at September 30, 2016 has a working capital deficiency of $2,513,317 (December 31, 2015: $105,821 working capital surplus) and an accumulated deficit of $13,884,935 (December 31, 2015: $9,228,774). Management anticipates the Company will attain profitable status and improve its liquidity through continued business development and additional debt or equity investment in the Company. Management is pursuing various sources of financing.
On October 31, 2015, the Company engaged an agent to act as exclusive financial advisor to the Company with respect to assisting the Company in its capital raising efforts as well as assisting the Company in the review of potential financing alternatives available to it and to provide recommendations with respect to the options available to it for meeting its capital needs. Under the engagement agreement, the agent will represent the Company as the sole or lead placement agent, underwriter, book-runner or similar representation in its efforts to obtain financing of up to $12 million in the form of a private placement, public offering, whether in one or a series of transactions, in a private or public offering of equity, convertible debt or equity, equity linked securities or any other securities (as explained in Notes 6 and 11).
The Companys continued existence is dependent upon its ability to continue to execute its operating plan and to obtain additional debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance that the necessary debt or equity financing will be available, or will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, in which case the Company may be unable to meet its obligations. Should the Company be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, the net realizable value of its assets may be materially less than the amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of recorded asset amounts that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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. Areas involving significant estimates and assumptions include: deferred income tax assets and related valuation allowance, accruals and valuation of derivatives, convertible promissory notes and stock options. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates are reviewed periodically, and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become known.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Boards (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 260-10 which provides for calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. Diluted earnings per share exclude all potentially dilutive shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. There were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding as at September 30, 2016.
8
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands required disclosure about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
● |
| Level 1 – Valuation based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|
|
|
● |
| Level 2 – Valuation based on quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets. |
|
|
|
● |
| Level 3 – Valuation based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring managements best estimate of what market participants would use as fair value. |
In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Companys assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments or interest rates that are comparable to market rates. These financial instruments include cash, due to stockholders, deposits and other receivables, convertible promissory notes, derivative liabilities, and accounts payable. The Company's cash and derivative liabilities, which are carried at fair value, are classified as a Level 1 financial instruments. The Companys bank accounts are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit, therefore, bear minimal credit risk.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2016, the Company adopted the accounting pronouncement issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") to update guidance on how companies account for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. This guidance requires all income tax effects of awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled and changes the presentation of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted these provisions on a prospective basis. In addition, this pronouncement changes guidance on: (a) accounting for forfeitures of share-based awards and (b) employers accounting for an employees use of shares to satisfy the employers statutory income tax withholding obligation. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position and/or results of operations.
In February 2016, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the FASB to replace existing lease accounting guidance. This pronouncement is intended to provide enhanced transparency and comparability by requiring lessees to record right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases. Expenses associated with leases will continue to be recognized in a manner similar to current accounting guidance. This pronouncement is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The adoption is required to be applied on a modified retrospective basis for each prior reporting period presented. The Company has not yet determined the effect that the adoption of this pronouncement may have on our financial position and/or results of operations.
9
On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted the accounting pronouncement issued by the FASB which eliminates the requirement that an acquirer in a business combination account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. Instead, an acquirer will recognize a measurement-period adjustment during the period in which it determines the amount of the adjustment. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position and/or results of operations.
On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted the accounting pronouncement issued by the FASB to update the guidance related to the presentation of debt issuance costs. This guidance requires debt issuance costs, related to a recognized debt liability, be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability rather than being presented as an asset. The Company adopted this pronouncement on a retrospective basis, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company financial position and/or results of operations.
In November 2015, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the FASB to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes within the balance sheet. This pronouncement eliminates the requirement that deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented as current or noncurrent based on the nature of the underlying assets and liabilities. Instead, the pronouncement requires all deferred tax assets and liabilities, including valuation allowances, be classified as noncurrent. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company intend to adopt this pronouncement on January 1, 2017, and the adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial position and/or results of operations.
In May 2014, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the FASB to clarify existing guidance on revenue recognition. This guidance includes the required steps to achieve the core principle that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The guidance permits the use of one of two retrospective transition methods. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has the Company determined the effect that the adoption of the pronouncement may have on its financial position and/or results of operations.

6. CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES
Pursuant to a term sheet offering of $2,000,000, the Company during the year ended December 31, 2015 issued convertible promissory notes to various accredited investors amounting to $1,368,978 in face value. These notes have a maturity date of 24 months and carry annual interest rate of 11%. The note holders have the right until any time until the note is fully paid, to convert any outstanding and unpaid principal portion of the note, and accrued interest, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock. The note has a conversion price initially set at $1.78. Upon any future financings completed by the Company, the conversion price will reset to 75% of the future financing pricing. These notes do not contain prepayment penalties upon redemption. These notes are secured by all of the present and after acquired property of the Company. However, the Company can force conversion of these notes, if during the term of the agreement, the Company completes a public listing and the Common Share price exceeds the conversion price for at least 20 consecutive trading days. At the closing of the Notes, the Company issued cash (7%) and warrants (7% of the number of Common Shares into which the Notes may be converted) to a broker. The broker received 3% in cash and warrants for those investors introduced by the Company. The warrants have a term of 24 months and a similar reset provision based on future financings.
Pursuant to the conversion provisions, in August 2016, the Company converted the promissory notes, in the aggregate face value of $1,368,978, into 912,652 shares of common shares as detailed below. The fair value of the common shares was $2,907,912 and $1,538,934 was allocated to the related derivative liabilities (see note 7) and the balance to the carrying value of the notes.

During the nine months ended September 2016, Biotricity commenced a bridge offering of up to an aggregate of $2,500,000 of convertible promissory notes and issued to various investors note in the aggregate face value of amounting to $1,655,000. These notes have a maturity date of 12 months and carry an annual interest rate of 10%. The Bridge Notes principal is paid in cash and all outstanding accrued interest is converted into common stock based on the average of the lowest 3 trading days volume weighted average price (VWAP) over the last 10 trading days plus an embedded warrant at maturity. All of the outstanding principal and accrued interest shall convert (Forced Conversion) into units/securities upon the consummation of a qualified financing, based upon the lesser of: (i) $1.65 per units/securities and (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the balance on the Forced Conversion date multiplied by 1.20 by (y) the actual price per unit/security in the qualified financing.
Upon the maturity date of the notes, the Company will also issue warrants exercisable into a number of shares of the Company securities equal to (i) in the case of a Qualified Financing, the number of shares issued upon conversion of the Note and (ii) in all other cases, the number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the outstanding balance by 2.00.
In connection with the bridge offering, the Company incurred a brokerage commission expense of $130,800.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016:
| Face value of convertible promissory notes issued | $ 1,655,000 |
|
| Discount recognized at issuance due to embedded derivatives | $ (882,945) |
|
| Financing costs | $ (130,800) |
|
| Accretion expense | $ 82,455 |
|
| Accreted value of convertible promissory notes as of September 30, 2016 | $ 723,710 |

7. DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
In connection with the sale of debt or equity instruments, the Company may sell options or warrants to purchase its common stock. In certain circumstances, these options or warrants are classified as derivative liabilities, rather than as equity. Additionally, the debt or equity instruments may contain embedded derivative instruments, such as embedded derivative features which in certain circumstances may be required to be bifurcated from the associated host instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument liability.
The Company's derivative instrument liabilities are re-valued at the end of each reporting period, with changes in the fair value of the derivative liability recorded as charges or credits to income in the period in which the changes occur. For options, warrants and bifurcated embedded derivative features that are accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, the Company estimates fair value using either quoted market prices of financial instruments with similar characteristics or other valuation techniques. The valuation techniques require assumptions related to the remaining term of the instruments and risk-free rates of return, our current common stock price and expected dividend yield, and the expected volatility of our common stock price over the life of the option.
The derivative liabilities arising from convertible promissory notes/warrants and related issuance of broker warrants are as follows:
| Convertible |
| Broker |

Derivative liabilities as at September 30, 2016 | $ 1,034,060 |
| $ 79,230 |
| $ 1,113,290 |
|
The lattice methodology was used to value the derivative components, using the following assumptions at issuance and during the nine months ended September 30, 2016:
Assumptions |
|
Dividend yield | 0.00% |
Risk-free rate for term | 0.29% - 0.49% |
Volatility | 102%-105% |
Remaining terms (years) | 0.46 - 1.0 |
Stock price ($ per share) | $1.49 and $3.00 |
The projected annual volatility curve for valuation at issuance and period end was based on the comparable companys annual volatility. The Company used market trade stock prices at issuance and period end date.
8. STOCKHOLDERS DEFICIENCY

·
Each outstanding option to purchase common shares in the Company (whether vested or unvested) was exchanged, without any further action or consideration on the part of the holder of such option, for approximately 1.197 economically equivalent replacement options with an inverse adjustment to the exercise price of the replacement option to reflect the exchange ratio of approximately 1.197:1;
·
Each outstanding warrant to purchase common shares in the Company was adjusted, in accordance with the terms thereof, such that it entitles the holder to receive approximately 1.197 shares of the common stock of Biotricity for each Warrant, with an inverse adjustment to the exercise price of the Warrants to reflect the exchange ratio of approximately 1.197:1

Stock-based compensation
On March 30, 2015, iMedical approved Directors, Officers and Employees Stock Option Plan, under which it authorized and issued 3,000,000 options.

The Plan seeks to achieve this purpose by providing for awards in the form of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock purchase rights, restricted stock bonuses, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units and other stock-based awards.
The Plan shall continue in effect until its termination by the Committee; provided, however, that all awards shall be granted, if at all, on or before the day immediately preceding the tenth (10th) anniversary of the effective date. The maximum number of shares of stock that may be issued under the Plan pursuant to awards shall be equal to 3,750,000 shares; provided that the maximum number of shares of stock that may be issued under the Plan pursuant to awards shall automatically and without any further Company or shareholder approval, increase on January 1 of each year for not more than 10 years from the Effective Date, so the number of shares that may be issued is an amount no greater than 15% of the Companys outstanding shares of stock and shares of stock underlying any outstanding exchangeable shares as of such January 1; provided further that no such increase shall be effective if it would violate any applicable law or stock exchange rule or regulation, or result in adverse tax consequences to the Company or any participant that would not otherwise result but for the increase.

Plan of Operation and Recent Corporate Developments
We were incorporated on August 29, 2012 in the State of Nevada. At the time of our incorporation the name of our company was Metasolutions, Inc. On January 27, 2016, we filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation, effective as of February 1, 2016, whereby, among other things, we changed our name to Biotricity Inc. and increased the authorized number of shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 125,000,000 and blank check preferred stock from 1,000,000 to 10,000,000.
On February 2, 2016 we acquired Biotricity, through our indirect subsidiary Exchangeco and consummated the Acquisition Transaction. Immediately prior to the closing of the Acquisition Transaction, we transferred all of the then-existing business, properties, assets, operations, liabilities and goodwill of the Company, to W270 SA, a Costa Rican corporation, pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement. Accordingly, as of immediately prior to the closing of the Acquisition Transaction, we had no assets or liabilities.

Results of Operations: For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015
From our inception in July 2009 through to September 30, 2016, Biotricity has generated a deficit of $13,884,935. We expect to incur additional operating losses through the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016 and beyond, principally as a result of our continuing anticipated research and development costs and due to anticipated initial limited sales of the Bioflux, our planned first product. When we approach final stages of the anticipated commercialization of the Bioflux, we will have to devote and expect to continue to devote significant resources in the areas of capital expenditures and research and development costs.
Operating Expenses
General and administrative expenses:
Our general and administrative expenses increased for the three months ended September 30, 2016 by $254,658 to $1,155,016 compared to $900,358 during the three months ended September 30, 2015. The increase was, in part, due to increased level of activities and due to $196,142 expense related to stock options granted in 2016. Our general and administrative expenses for nine months ended September 30, 2016 decreased by $777,328 to $2,024,540 compared to $2,801,868 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease was due to reduced expenses related to employee stock options. We had incurred $1,849,916 of employee stock options expenses in 2015.
Research and development expenses:
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we incurred research and development expenses of $248,048 and 755,907, respectively, compared to $326,206 and $891,719, incurred in there and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively
Accretion expense:
During the three months ended September 30, 2016, we incurred accretion expense of $473,552 compared to $3,014 incurred in the comparable prior year period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we incurred accretion expense of $667,655 compared to $3,014 incurred in the comparable period in 2015. Increased levels of borrowings in 2016 relating to our up-to $2.5 million private placement of bridge notes resulted in higher debt discount and related accretion expense.
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities:
We recorded a loss of $465,832 due to changes in fair value of our derivative liabilities during the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to gain of $2,679 during the three months ended September 30, 2015. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recorded a loss of $1,208,059 compared to a gain of $2,679 in comparable period in 2015.
Net Loss:
As a result of the foregoing, the net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was $2,342,448 compared to a net loss of $1,226,899 during the three months ended September 30, 2015. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the net loss was $4,656,161 compared to a net loss of $3,693,922 in 2015.
Translation Adjustment
Translation adjustment for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2016 were a loss of $80,101 and a loss of $271,210, respectively, as compared to a loss of $31,388 and a gain of $28,257, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. This translation adjustment represents loss resulted from the translation of currency in the financial statements from our functional currency of Canadian dollars to the reporting currency in U.S. dollars.
18
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We are a development stage company and have not yet realized any revenues from our operations. Our working capital deficiency was $2,513,317 as of September 30, 2016, compared to a working capital surplus of $105,821 at December 31, 2015. The increase in working capital deficiency was due to our operational losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and due to short term borrowings to fund our operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, our operating activities used cash of approximately $1,759,000 compared to approximately $1,424,000 used during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, our operations, after adjusting for non-cash items, used approximately $2,140,000 of cash. Changes in working capital items provided approximately $381,000 of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, our Companys operations, after adjustment for non-cash items, used approximately $1,477,000 of cash and working capital items provided approximately $53,000 of cash.
During the nine months ended September 2016, we commenced a bridge offering of convertible promissory notes and issued to various investors note in the aggregate face value of amounting to $1,655,000, resulting in net proceed of $1,524,200. These notes have a maturity date of 12 months and carry an annual interest rate of 10%. The Bridge Notes principal is paid in cash and all outstanding accrued interest is converted into common stock based on the average of the lowest 3 trading days volume weighted average price (VWAP) over the last 10 trading days plus an embedded warrant at maturity.
In August 2016, we converted notes in the aggregate face value of $1,368,978, issued in 2015, into 912,652 shares of common shares. The fair value of the common shares was $2,907,912 and $1,538,934 was allocated to the related derivative liabilities and the balance to the carrying value of the notes.
We issued an aggregate of 131,365 shares of our common stock upon exercise of warrants and received $105,500 of exercise cash proceeds.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. We incurred a comprehensive loss of $4,656,161 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, have accumulated losses totaling $13,884,935 and have a working capital deficit of $2,513,317 at September 30, 2016. These factors, among others, indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
As we proceed with the commercialization of the Bioflux product development we have devoted and expect to continue to devote significant resources in the areas of capital expenditures and research and development costs and operations, marketing and sales expenditures.
We expect to require additional funds to further develop our business plan, including the anticipated commercialization of the Bioflux and Biolife products. Based on our current operating plans, we will require approximately $6 million to complete the development of Bioflux including marketing, sales, regulatory and clinical costs to first introduce this product into the market place. We expect to require an additional approximately $4 million to also complete the development of our Bioflux product and increase penetration in new and existing markets and expand our intellectual property platform, which we anticipate would lead to profitability. Since it is impossible to predict with certainty the timing and amount of funds required to launch the Bioflux and Biolife product in any other markets or any of our other proposed products, we anticipate that we will need to raise additional funds through equity or debt offerings or otherwise in order to meet our expected future liquidity requirements. Any such financing that we undertake will likely be dilutive to existing stockholders. We are currently in discussion to raise additional equity financing of which we can give no assurance of success.
19
In addition, we expect to also need additional funds to respond to business opportunities and challenges, including our ongoing operating expenses, protecting our intellectual property, developing or acquiring new lines of business and enhancing our operating infrastructure. While we may need to seek additional funding for such purposes, we may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all. In addition, the terms of our financings may be dilutive to, or otherwise adversely affect, holders of our common stock. We may also seek additional funds through arrangements with collaborators or other third parties. We may not be able to negotiate any such arrangements on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain additional funding on a timely basis, we may be required to curtail or terminate some or all of our proposed product lines.
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.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) and are expressed in United States Dollars. Significant accounting policies are summarized below:
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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. Areas involving significant estimates and assumptions include: deferred income tax assets and related valuation allowance, accruals and valuation of derivatives, promissory notes and stock options. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates are reviewed periodically, and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become known.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Boards (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 260-10 which provides for calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. Diluted earnings per share exclude all potentially dilutive shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. There were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding as at September 30, 2016.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands required disclosure about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
20
● |
|
| Level 1 – Valuation based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|
|
|
|
● |
|
| Level 2 – Valuation based on quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets. |
|
|
|
|
● |
|
| Level 3 – Valuation based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring managements best estimate of what market participants would use as fair value. |
In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Companys assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments or interest rates that are comparable to market rates. These financial instruments include cash and accounts payable. The Company's cash, which is carried at fair value, is classified as a Level 1 financial instrument. The Companys bank accounts are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit, therefore, bear minimal credit risk.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2016, the Company adopted the accounting pronouncement issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") to update guidance on how companies account for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. This guidance requires all income tax effects of awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled and changes the presentation of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted these provisions on a prospective basis. In addition, this pronouncement changes guidance on: (a) accounting for forfeitures of share-based awards and (b) employers accounting for an employees use of shares to satisfy the employers statutory income tax withholding obligation. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position and/or results of operations.
In February 2016, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the FASB to replace existing lease accounting guidance. This pronouncement is intended to provide enhanced transparency and comparability by requiring lessees to record right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases. Expenses associated with leases will continue to be recognized in a manner similar to current accounting guidance. This pronouncement is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The adoption is required to be applied on a modified retrospective basis for each prior reporting period presented. The Company has not yet determined the effect that the adoption of this pronouncement may have on its financial position and/or results of operations.
On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted the accounting pronouncement issued by the FASB which eliminates the requirement that an acquirer in a business combination account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. Instead, an acquirer will recognize a measurement-period adjustment during the period in which it determines the amount of the adjustment. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position and/or results of operations.
On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted the accounting pronouncement issued by the FASB to update the guidance related to the presentation of debt issuance costs. This guidance requires debt issuance costs, related to a recognized debt liability, be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability rather than being presented as an asset. The Company adopted this pronouncement on a retrospective basis, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company financial position and/or results of operations.
21
In November 2015, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the FASB to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes within the balance sheet. This pronouncement eliminates the requirement that deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented as current or noncurrent based on the nature of the underlying assets and liabilities. Instead, the pronouncement requires all deferred tax assets and liabilities, including valuation allowances, be classified as noncurrent. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company intend to adopt this pronouncement on January 1, 2017, and the adoption is not expected to have a material impact on its financial position and/or results of operations.
In May 2014, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the FASB to clarify existing guidance on revenue recognition. This guidance includes the required steps to achieve the core principle that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The guidance permits the use of one of two retrospective transition methods. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has the Company determined the effect that the adoption of the pronouncement may have on its financial position and/or results of operations.

Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of disclosure controls and procedures in Rule 13a-15(e). The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance of reaching the Company's desired disclosure control objectives. In designing periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Company's certifying officer has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in reaching that level of assurance.
At the end of the period being reported upon, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Management has confidence in its internal controls and procedures. The Companys management believes that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable assurance and cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the internal control system are met, and no evaluation of internal controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Further, the design of an internal control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitation in all internal control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issuers and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
22
Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in the Companys internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the third quarter of 2016 that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Internal control systems, no matter how well designed and operated, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even a system which is determined to be effective cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues have been detected or prevented. Our systems of internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
