BIOTRICITY INC.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2018 (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 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 iMedical’s 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 a 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 Company’s 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, MEASUREMENT AND CONSOLIDATION


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 Biotricity’s audited financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 and their accompanying notes.


The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are expressed in United States dollars (“USD”). 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 three months ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2019. The Company’s fiscal year-end is March 31.


The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. 



F-4








Liquidity and Basis of Presentation


The Company is an emerging growth entity that is in the early stages of commercializing its first product and is concurrently in development mode, operating a research and development program in order to develop, obtain regulatory approval for, and commercialize other proposed products. The Company has incurred recurring losses from operations, and as at June 30, 2018, has an accumulated deficit of $28,867,947 and a working capital deficit of $752,810. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company launched its first commercial sales program, having already hired an experienced professional in-house sales team. Management anticipates the Company will improve its liquidity through continued business development and after additional equity or debt capitalization of the Company. The Company has developed and continues to pursue sources of funding that management believes if successful would be sufficient to support the Company’s operating plan and alleviate any substantial doubt as to its ability to meet its obligations at least for one year from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. As an example of this, the Company filed a shelf prospectus under which it conducted its first registered direct sale of shares during December 2017, which raised gross proceeds of $2,475,901. In June 2018, the Company conducted a further registered direct sale of shares which raised gross proceeds of $500,000. The acquirer, a private equity fund also entered into agreements with the Company to commit themselves to purchase up to $25 million in additional shares of the Company at the direction and sole discretion of the Company (see Note 7 – Stockholders’ Equity (Deficiency)).


The Company’s operating plan is predicated on a variety of assumptions including, but not limited to, the level of product demand, cost estimates, its ability to continue to raise additional debt and equity financing, the planned repayment dates of outstanding operating liabilities, and the state of the general economic environment in which the Company operates.  There can be no assurance that these assumptions will prove to be accurate in all material respects, or that the Company will be able to successfully execute its operating plan. In the absence of additional financing, the Company may have to modify its operating plan to slow down the pace for development and commercialization of its proposed products.


3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Revenue Recognition


The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606.


Our Bioflux mobile cardiac telemetry device, a wearable device, is worn by patients for a monitoring period up to 30 days. The cardiac data that the device monitors and collects is curated and analyzed by our proprietary algorithms and then securely communicated to a remote monitoring facility for electronic reporting and conveyance to the patient’s prescribing physician or other certified cardiac medical professional. The device, together with its licensed software, is available for sale to the medical center or physician, who is responsible for the delivery of clinical diagnosis and therapy. The remote monitoring, data collection and reporting services performed by our technology culminate in a patient study that is generally billable when it is complete and is issued to the physician. In order to recognize revenue, we consider whether or not the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of a commercial arrangement exists, and delivery has occurred or services have been rendered. For sales of devices, which we invoice directly, additional revenue recognition criteria include that the price is fixed and determinable and collectability is reasonably assured; for revenue that is earned based on customer usage of our proprietary software to render a patient’s cardiac study, we recognize revenue when the study ends based on a fixed billing rate. Costs associated with providing our services are recorded as the service is provided regardless of whether or when revenue is recognized.



F-5








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, stock options and warrants, as well as assumptions used by management in its assessment of liquidity. 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 Board’s (“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 June 30, 2018 and 2017.


Cash


Cash includes cash on hand and balances with banks.


Foreign Currency Translation

 

The functional currency of the Company’s Canadian-based subsidiary is the Canadian dollar and the US-based parent is the U.S. dollar. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the historical rate on the date of the transaction. All exchange gains or losses arising from translation of these foreign currency transactions are included in net income (loss) for the period. In translating the financial statements of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries from their functional currency into the Company’s reporting currency of United States dollars, balance sheet accounts are translated using the closing exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and income and expense accounts are translated using an average exchange rate prevailing during the reporting period. Adjustments resulting from the translation, if any, are included in cumulative other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.



F-6








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 Company’s 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 Company’s bank accounts are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit, therefore, bear minimal credit risk.


Operating Leases


The Company leases office space and certain office equipment under operating lease agreements. The lease term begins on the date of initial possession of the leased property for purposes of recognizing lease expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease renewal periods are considered on a lease-by-lease basis and are generally not included in the initial lease term.


Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740.  The Company provides for federal and provincial income taxes payable, as well as for those deferred because of the timing differences between reporting income and expenses for financial statement purposes versus tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recoverable or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period of the change. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.



F-7








Research and Development


Research and development costs, which relate primarily to product and software development, are charged to operations as incurred. Under certain research and development arrangements with third parties, the Company may be required to make payments that are contingent on the achievement of specific developmental, regulatory and/or commercial milestones. Before a product receives regulatory approval, milestone payments made to third parties are expensed when the milestone is achieved. Milestone payments made to third parties after regulatory approval is received are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the approved product.


Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for share-based payments in accordance with the provision of ASC 718, which requires that all share-based payments issued to acquire goods or services, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values, net of estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Compensation expense related to share-based awards is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.

 

The Company accounts for stock based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services, as prescribed by ASC 718-10, at either the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable, using the guidelines in ASC 505-50. The Company issues compensatory shares for services including, but not limited to, executive, management, accounting, operations, corporate communication, financial and administrative consulting services.


Convertible Notes Payable and Derivative Instruments

 

The Company has adopted the provisions of ASU 2017-11 to account for the down round features of warrants issued with private placements effective as of April 1, 2017. In doing so, warrants with a down round feature previously treated as derivative liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet and measured at fair value are henceforth treated as equity, with no adjustment for changes in fair value at each reporting period. Previously, the Company accounted for conversion options embedded in convertible notes in accordance with ASC 815. ASC 815 generally requires companies to bifurcate conversion options embedded in convertible notes from their host instruments and to account for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments. ASC 815 provides for an exception to this rule when convertible notes, as host instruments, are deemed to be conventional, as defined by ASC 815-40. The Company accounts for convertible notes deemed conventional and conversion options embedded in non-conventional convertible notes which qualify as equity under ASC 815, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 470-20, which provides guidance on accounting for convertible securities with beneficial conversion features. Accordingly, the Company records, as a discount to convertible notes, the intrinsic value of such conversion options based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement (FASB ASU 2018-07) to expand the scope of ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating the effects of this pronouncement on our consolidated financial statements, including potential early adoption.


On April 1, 2018, the Company adopted the accounting pronouncement issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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. The Company adopted this pronouncement on a modified retrospective basis.


In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-11 (“ASU 2017-11”), which addressed accounting for (I) certain financial instruments with down round features and (II) replacement of the indefinite deferral for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests with a scope exception. The main provisions of Part I of ASU 2017-11 “change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share (EPS) to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS.” Under previous US GAAP, warrants with a down round feature are not being considered indexed to the entity’s own stock, which results in classification of the warrant as a derivative liability. Under ASU 2017-11, the down round feature qualifies for a scope exception from derivative treatment. ASU 2017-11 is effective for public companies as of December 15, 2018 and interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period, with adjustments reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year. The Company has issued financial instruments with down round features. The Company opted to adopt ASU 2017-11 in its three-month interim period ended September 30, 2017, which is effective from April 1, 2017, with adjustments reflected in the accumulated deficit of stockholders’ deficiency as of April 1, 2017. Please refer to Note 6.


The amendments in this Update require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this Update do not provide a definition of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents.  The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The amendments in this Update should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. Management does not expect to have a significant impact of this ASU on the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASU 2017-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting.” ASU 2017-09 provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material impact on the financial position and/or results of operations.


On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted the accounting pronouncement issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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 that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, including valuation allowances, be classified as noncurrent. We adopted this pronouncement on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed financial position and/or results of operations.

5. CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES


Prior to April 1, 2016, pursuant to a term sheet offering of up to $2,000,000, the Company issued convertible promissory notes to various accredited investors amounting to $1,368,978 in face value. These notes had a maturity date of 24 months and carried an annual interest rate of 11%. The note holders had the right to convert any outstanding and unpaid principal portion of the note, and accrued interest, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock any time until the note was fully paid. The notes had a conversion price initially set at $1.78. Upon any future financings completed by the Company, the conversion price was to reset to 75% of the future financing pricing. These notes did not contain prepayment penalties upon redemption. These notes were secured by all of the present and after acquired property of the Company. However, the Company could force conversion of these notes, if during the term of the agreement, the Company completed a public listing and the Common Share price exceeded 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 had a term of 24 months and a similar reset provision based on future financings.


Pursuant to the conversion provisions, in August 2016, promissory notes in the aggregate face value of $1,368,978 were converted 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 6) and the balance to the carrying value of the notes.

In March 2016, the Company commenced a bridge offering of up to an aggregate of $2,500,000 of convertible promissory notes.  Up to March 31, 2017, the Company issued, to various investors, a new series of convertible notes (“Bridge Notes”) in the aggregate face value of $2,455,000 (December 31, 2016 – $2,230,000). The Bridge Notes have a maturity date of 12 months and carry an annual interest rate of 10%. The Bridge Notes principal and all outstanding accrued interest may be converted into common stock based on the average of the lowest 3 trading days volume weighted average price over the last 10 trading days plus an embedded warrant at maturity. However, all the outstanding principal and accrued interest would convert 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 also has an obligation to 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.

6. DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES


The Accounting Pronouncements ASU 2017-11 provided a change to the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2017-11 to account for the down round features of its warrants issued with its private placements effective April 1, 2017. The Company used a modified retrospective approach to adoption, which does not restate its financial statements as at the prior year end, March 31, 2017. Adoption is effective as of April 1, 2017, the beginning of the Company’s current fiscal year. The cumulative effect of this accounting standard update adjusted accumulated deficit as of April 1, 2017 by $483,524, with a corresponding adjustment to 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 have previously been classified as derivative liabilities, rather than as equity. Additionally, the debt or equity instruments may contain embedded derivative instruments, which in certain circumstances may be required to be bifurcated from the associated host instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument liability.


Previously, the Company's derivative instrument liabilities were 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 occurred. For options, warrants and bifurcated embedded derivative features that were accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, the Company estimated 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 details of derivative liabilities (pre and post adoption of ASU 2017-11) were as follows:

7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIENCY)


a)

Authorized stock


In contemplation of the acquisition of iMedical on February 2, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors and shareholders approved the increase in authorized capital stock from 100,000,000 shares of common stock to 125,000,000 shares of common stock, with a par value of $0.001 per share, and from 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with a par value of $0.001 per share. As at June 30, 2018, the Company is authorized to issue 125,000,000 (March 31, 2018 – 125,000,000) shares of common stock ($0.001 par value) and 10,000,000 (March 31, 2018 – 10,000,000) shares of preferred stock ($0.001 par value).


At June 30, 2018, there were 26,108,160 (March 31, 2018 – 23,713,602) shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Additionally, at June 30, 2018, there were 6,203,814 (March 31, 2018 – 8,143,937) outstanding exchangeable shares. There is currently one share of the Special Voting Preferred Stock issued and outstanding held by one holder of record, which is the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement.

b)

Exchange Agreement


As initially described in Note 1 above, on February 2, 2016:


·

Biotricity issued approximately 1.197 shares of its common stock in exchange for each common share of the Company held by the Company shareholders who in general terms, are not residents of Canada (for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada). Accordingly the Company issued 13,376,947 shares;

·

Shareholders of the Company who in general terms, are Canadian residents (for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) received approximately 1.197 Exchangeable Shares in the capital of Exchangeco in exchange for each common share of the Company held. Accordingly the Company issued 9,123,031 Exchangeable Shares;

·

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

·

Each outstanding advisor 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 Advisor Warrant, with an inverse adjustment to the exercise price of the Advisor Warrants to reflect the exchange ratio of approximately 1.197:1; and

·

The outstanding 11% secured convertible promissory notes of the Company were adjusted, in accordance with the adjustment provisions thereof, as and from closing, so as to permit the holders to convert (and in some circumstances permit the Company to force the conversion of) the convertible promissory notes into shares of the common stock of Biotricity at a 25% discount to purchase price per share in Biotricity’s next offering.


Issuance of common stock, exchangeable shares and cancellation of shares in connection with the reverse takeover transaction as explained above represents recapitalization of capital retroactively adjusting the accounting acquirer’s legal capital to reflect the legal capital of the accounting acquiree.


During the three months ended June 30, 2018, shareholders holding 1,940,126 exchangeable shares with voting rights and other attributes corresponding to the Company’s common stock (but with the additional right to cashlessly exchange on a one-for-one basis into common stock) retracted and exchanged their exchangeable shares for the corresponding number of shares of common stock.

Share issuances




F-14








Share issuances during the year ended March 31, 2018


During the year ended March 31, 2018, the Company sold to accredited investors a further total of 1,282,767 Units, for gross proceeds of $2,244,845 (net proceeds of $1,926,780).


During the year ended March 31, 2018, prior to closing its private placement offering on or about July 31, 2017, the Company sold to accredited investors a further total of 263,188 Units for gross proceeds of $460,579 (net proceeds of $413,629).  Cash issuance costs of $46,950 have been adjusted against additional paid in capital. In connection with this private placement, the Company also issued 21,055 broker warrants and 131,594 warrants to investors (refer to warrant issuances).


During the year ended March 31, 2018, the Company completed a registered offering, which raised net proceeds of $2,520,561 million through the issuance of 450,164 common shares.


Cash issuance costs of $320,355 relating to the above private placements have been adjusted against additional paid in capital. In connection with the above private placements and conversion of notes as detailed in Note 5, the Company issued broker warrants and warrants to investors having fair values of $385,635 and $3,183,614, respectively, which were initially classified as derivative liabilities with corresponding debit to additional paid in capital.


On raising a total of $3,000,000 in aggregate proceeds from the Common Share Offering, this would qualify that offering as a Qualified Financing that would allow the Company, at its discretion, to convert the principal amount of the Bridge Notes (discussed in Note 5), along with accrued interest thereon, into units of the Common Share Offering. Conversion would be based upon the price that is the lesser of: (i) $1.60 per New Round Stock and (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Outstanding Balance on the conversion date multiplied by 1.20 by (y) the actual price per New Round Stock in the Qualified Financing. The notes and the warrants were further subject to a “most-favored nation” clause in the event the Company, prior to maturity of the notes, consummates a financing that is not a Qualified Financing.  Upon completion of a Qualified Financing, in connection with the conversion of the Bridge Notes, the Company would also pay the Placement Agent up to 8% in cashless broker warrants with an exercise price of $3.00 and an expiry date of two years from the date of issuance. Based on achieving this milestone, on May 31, 2017, the Company converted Bridge Notes with the aggregate principal amount of $2,455,000 plus accrued interest thereon, into a further 1,823,020 Units of its Common Share Offering (each of which corresponded to one share and half of one warrant).


During the year ended March 31, 2018, the Company issued an aggregate of 527,941 common stock and has recognized its obligation to issue a further 20,250 shares of common stock (see paragraph d, below), to various consultants. The fair value of these shares amounted to $1,908,481 were recognized as general and administrative and research and development expenses, as applicable, in the statement of operations, with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in-capital.


During the year ended March 31, 2018, the Company also issued an aggregate of 252,798 shares of its common stock upon exercise of warrants and received $428,311 of exercise cash proceeds. In addition, during this year, the Company issued 58,795 shares of common stock to brokers who opted to perform cashless exercise of their 108,799 warrants. See paragraph e, below


 



F-15








Share issuances during the three months ended June 30, 2018


During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with a private equity investment fund (the “Investor”) to install a committed equity purchase facility, which allows the Company, at its sole option, to direct the Investor to make multiple common share purchases that in aggregate can be up to $25 million (the “Aggregate Amount”) during the term of the facility, which will be up to 36 months. As part of this transaction, the Investor purchased 128,750 shares of common stock of the Company, at a price of $4, for gross proceeds of $515,000 and paid the Investor $15,000 in issuance costs. As compensation for providing this equity purchase facility, the Company also issued to the Investor an additional 121,344 shares (representing a dollar value equal to 1.6% of the Aggregate Amount, or $400,000, at a price per share that was equal to the average of the closing sale prices of the common shares for the ten (10) consecutive business days prior to the closing date of the transaction). The size and purchase price for each future drawdown under this agreement is governed by the purchase facilities agreement and is predicated on trading volumes as well as the average trading and closing prices of the common stock on the day of drawdown and the prior ten (10) trading days, such that the purchase price is always fixed and know at the time the Company elects to sell shares to the Investor.


During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company issued an aggregate of 141,500 common stock to various consultants. Not including 14,000 of these shares, that were accounted for as common shares to be issued in relation to issuance obligations as at March 31, 2018, the fair value of the remaining 127,500 shares amounted to $427,125 and has been expensed to general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations, with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in-capital.


During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company also issued 62,838 shares of its common stock upon exercise of warrants and received $50,835 of exercise cash proceeds.


d)

Shares to be issued


Common stock to be issued of 88,500 shares ($176,572) comprise of:


·

82,250 shares of common stock to various consultants in connection with services rendered during the quarter with a fair value of $153,510; and

·

6,250 shares of common stock to be issued to a consultant, which represents an obligation recognized in the prior period, with a fair value of $23,062.


The fair value of these shares was determined by using the market price of the common stock as at the date of issuance.


e)

Warrant issuances



F-16








Warrant issuances during the year ended March 31, 2018


During December 2017, 112,798 broker warrants were exercised at exercises price of between $1.04 and $1.49, such that the Company received cash proceeds of $124,718. Also during December 2017, 140,000 consultant warrants were exercised at exercise prices between $2.00 and 2.58, for cash proceeds to the Company of $303,200.


During March 2018, 108,799 broker warrants were exercised into 58,795 common shares through the cashless exercise. The Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, exercise all or any part of this Warrant in a “cashless” or “net-issue” exercise (a “Cashless Exercise”) by delivering to the Company (1) the Notice of Exercise and (2) the original Warrant, pursuant to which the Purchaser shall surrender the right to receive upon exercise of this Warrant the full number of Warrant Shares set forth in Section 1 hereof and instead, without cash payment, shall receive a number of Warrant Shares calculated by using the following formula: X = Y (A - B)/A with: X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Purchaser Y = the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which the Warrant is being exercised A = the fair value per share of Common Stock on the date of exercise of this Warrant B = the then-current Exercise Price of the Warrant. The average of the closing sales prices, as quoted on the primary national or regional stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, or, if not listed, on the Nasdaq Market if quoted thereon, or, if not listed or quoted, the OTC Bulletin Board (or any tier of the OTC Markets) if quoted thereon, on the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the date on which the Notice of Exercise is deemed to have been sent to the Company, or (B) if the Common Stock is not publicly traded as set forth above, as reasonably and in good faith determined by the Board of Directors of the Company as of the date which the Notice of Exercise is deemed to have been sent to the Company.


Warrant issuances during the three months ended June 30, 2018


During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company issued 65,000 warrants as compensation for advisor and consultant services, which were fair valued at $96,509 and expensed in general and administrative expenses, with a corresponding credit to additional paid in capital. Their fair value has been estimated using a multi-nomial lattice model with an expected life of 3 years, a risk free rate ranging from 2.13% to 2.49%, stock price of $3.16 to $4.15 and expected volatility of 133.39% to 138.27%.

2015 Equity Incentive Plan


On March 30, 2015, iMedical approved its Directors, Officers and Employees Stock Option Plan, under which it authorized and issued 3,000,000 options. This plan was established to enable the Company to attract and retain the services of highly qualified and experience directors, officers, employees and consultants and to give such person an interest in the success of the Company.  As of June 30 and March 31, 2017, there were no outstanding vested options and 137,500 unvested options at an exercise price of $.0001 under this plan.  These options now represent the right to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock using the same exchange ratio of approximately 1.1969:1, thus there were 164,590 (35,907 had been cancelled) adjusted unvested options as at June 30 and March 31, 2017.  No other grants will be made under this plan.

The fair value of options at the issuance date were determined at $2,257,953 which were fully expensed during the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 based on vesting period and were included in general and administrative expenses with corresponding credit to additional paid-in-capital. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, 3,390,503 (2,832,500 Pre-exchange Agreement) options were exercised by those employees who met the vesting conditions; 50% of the grants either vest immediately or at the time of U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) filing date and 50% will vest upon Liquidity Trigger.  Liquidity Trigger means the day on which the board of directors resolve in favour of i) the Company is able to raise a certain level of financing; ii) a reverse takeover transaction that results in the Company being a reporting issuer, and iii) initial public offering that results in the Company being a reporting issuer. During the three-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, no outstanding options under this above plan were exercised.


2016 Equity Incentive Plan


On February 2, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company approved 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of the participating company group and its stockholders by providing an incentive to attract, retain and reward persons performing services for the participating company group and by motivating such persons to contribute to the growth and profitability of the participating company group. 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.



F-19








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 Company’s 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.


During July 2016, the Company granted an officer options to purchase an aggregate of 2,499,998 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.20 subject to a 3 year vesting period, with the fair value of the options being expensed over a 3 year period. Two additional employees were also granted 175,000 options to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.24 with a 1 year vesting period, with the fair value of the options being expensed over a 1 year period. One additional employee was also granted 35,000 options to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.24 with a 2 year vesting period, with the fair value of the options expensed over a 2 year period.


During the year ended March 31, 2018, an additional 1,437,500 stock options were granted with a weighted average remaining contractual life from 2.76 to 9.51 years.


As of June 30, 2018, the cumulative grant-date fair value of the options granted under the Plan was $3,789,813 (June 30, 2017 - $2,372,108). The following table summarizes the stock option activities of the Company:

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


On January 8, 2016, the Company entered into a 40-month lease agreement for its office premises in California, USA. The monthly rent from the date of commencement to the 12th month is $16,530, from the 13th to the 24th month is $17,026, from the 25th to the 36th month is $17,536, whereas the final 3 months is $18,062.


There are no claims against the company that were assessed as significant, which were outstanding as at June 30, 2018 and, consequently, no provision for such has been recognized in the consolidated financial statements.


10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


The Company’s management has evaluated subsequent events up to August 14, 2018, the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued, pursuant to the requirements of ASC 855 and has determined the following material subsequent events:


During the period of July 1, 2018 through August 8, 2018, the Company issued an aggregate of 295,203 common shares under its common share finance facility with a private equity firm (the “Investor”). The size and purchase price for each drawdown is governed by the purchase facilities agreement and is predicated on trading volumes as well as the average trading and closing prices of the common stock on the day of drawdown and the prior ten (10) trading days, such that the purchase price is always fixed and known at the time the Company elects to sell shares to the Investor.


During this same period, the Company issued 286,907 common shares to consultants in connection with compensation for the provision of media and marketing services; 76,000 of these shares were recorded as shares to be issued at June 30, 2018 since they related to the accrual of existing compensation obligations.


During July 2018, the Board of Directors of the company adopted a new compensation program for directors which includes cash compensation for the current fiscal year of $24,000, equity compensation for the current fiscal year to include 31,250 shares of the Company’s common stock and 31,250 options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at $2.00 per share, such options to vest and be fully exercisable upon the first anniversary from the date upon which a director was named to the Board.

Company Overview


Biotricity, Inc. (“Company”, “Biotricity”, “we”, “us” or “our”)


We are a leading-edge medical technology company focused on biometric data monitoring solutions. Our aim is to deliver innovative, remote monitoring solutions to the medical, healthcare, and consumer markets, with a focus on diagnostic and post-diagnostic solutions for lifestyle and chronic illnesses. We approach the diagnostic side of remote patient monitoring by applying innovation within existing business models where reimbursement is established. We believe this approach reduces the risk associated with traditional medical device development and accelerates the path to revenue. In post-diagnostic markets, we intend to apply medical grade biometrics to enable consumers to self-manage, thereby driving patient compliance and reducing healthcare costs. We are first focusing on a segment of the multi-billion-dollar diagnostic mobile cardiac telemetry market, otherwise known as MCT.


To date, we have developed our Bioflux MCT technology which is comprised of a monitoring device and software component, verified our business model, and built strategic partnerships to accelerate our market strategy and growth. We started commercial sale of our technology to customers in April 2018.

We have established a research partnership with the University of Calgary to determine the predictive value of electrocardiogram (ECG) readings in preventative healthcare applications. The study is designed to identify novel patterns in ECG readings that may be translated into probability models for use in the development of proprietary algorithms for diagnostic applications, and to determine if ECG readings have predictive value for use in preventative healthcare applications, such as self-managed care. The research is partly funded by the National Research Council of Canada. As part of the collaboration, we have the right to license any intellectual property discovered, created or reduced to practice in the performance of the collaboration that was created solely by the University’s personnel.  Otherwise, we own all intellectual property resulting from the collaboration.  The term of the collaboration is until December 31, 2020.


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.


On February 2, 2016, we acquired iMedical Innovation Inc., a company existing under the laws of Canada, through our indirect subsidiary 1062024 B.C. LTD., a company existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. Immediately prior to the closing of the acquisition, we transferred all of the then-existing business, properties, assets, operations, liabilities and goodwill of the Company, to W270 SA, a Costa Rican corporation. Accordingly, as of immediately prior to the closing of the acquisition, we had no assets or liabilities, and subsequent to the closing we commenced operations through iMedical. As a result, we treated the acquisition as a reverse merger and recapitalization for accounting purposes, with iMedical as the acquirer for accounting purposes.


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:


Revenue Recognition


The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606.


Our Bioflux mobile cardiac telemetry device, a wearable device, is worn by patients for a monitoring period up to 30 days. The cardiac data that the device monitors and collects is curated and analyzed by our proprietary algorithms and then securely communicated to a remote monitoring facility for electronic reporting and conveyance to the patient’s prescribing physician or other certified cardiac medical professional. The device, together with its licensed software, is available for sale to the medical center or physician, who is responsible for the delivery of clinical diagnosis and therapy. The remote monitoring, data collection and reporting services performed by our technology culminate in a patient study that is generally billable when it is complete and is issued to the physician. In order to recognize revenue, we consider whether or not the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of a commercial arrangement exists, and delivery has occurred or services have been rendered. For sales of devices, which we invoice directly, additional revenue recognition criteria include that the price is fixed and determinable and collectability is reasonably assured; for revenue that is earned based on customer usage of our proprietary software to render a patient’s cardiac study, we recognize revenue based on a fixed billing rate. If all revenue recognition criteria are met, revenue is recognized upon delivery of the patient study, on an accrual basis. Costs associated with providing our services are recorded as the service is provided regardless of whether or when revenue is recognized.




6








Use of Estimates


The preparation of the audited 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, stock options and warrants, as well as assumptions used by management in its assessment of liquidity. 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


We have adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“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 June 30, 2017.


Cash


Cash includes cash on hand and balances with banks.



7








Foreign Currency Translation


The functional currency of the US-based company is the US dollar and the Canadian-based company is the Canadian dollar. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the historical rate on the date of the transaction. All exchange gains or losses arising from translation of these foreign currency transactions are included in net income (loss) for the year. In translating the financial statements of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries from their functional currency into the Company’s reporting currency of US dollars, balance sheet accounts are translated using the closing exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and income and expense accounts are translated using an average exchange rate prevailing during the reporting period. Adjustments resulting from the translation, if any, are included in cumulative other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments


Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“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 management’s 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. Our 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. Our cash, which is carried at fair value, is classified as a Level 1 financial instrument. Our bank accounts are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit, therefore, bear minimal credit risk.



8








Income Taxes


We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740. We provide for federal and provincial income taxes payable, as well as for those deferred because of the timing differences between reporting income and expenses for financial statement purposes versus tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recoverable or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period of the change. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.


Research and Development


We are engaged in research and development work. Research and development costs, which relate primarily to software development, are charged to operations as incurred. Under certain research and development arrangements with third parties, we may be required to make payments that are contingent on the achievement of specific developmental, regulatory and/or commercial milestones. Before a product receives regulatory approval, milestone payments made to third parties are expensed when the milestone is achieved. Milestone payments made to third parties after regulatory approval is received are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the approved product. Research and development costs were $309,871 for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $315,110 for the corresponding periods ended June 30, 2017.


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets


In accordance with ASC Topic 360-10, we review the carrying amount of long-lived assets for the existence of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that suggest impairment. We determine if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is impaired based on anticipated undiscounted cash flows, before interest, from the use of the asset. In the event of impairment, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is determined based on appraised value of the assets or the anticipated cash flows from the use of the asset or asset group, discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved.


Stock Based Compensation


We account for share-based payments in accordance with the provision of ASC 718, which requires that all share-based payments issued to acquire goods or services, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values, net of estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Compensation expense related to share-based awards is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.


We account for stock based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services, as prescribed by ASC 718-10, at either the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable, using the guidelines in ASC 505-50. We issue compensatory shares for services including, but not limited to, executive, management, accounting, operations, corporate communication, financial and administrative consulting services.


Operating Leases


We lease office space and certain office equipment under operating lease agreements. The lease term begins on the date of initial possession of the leased property for purposes of recognizing lease expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease renewal periods are considered on a lease-by-lease basis and are generally not included in the initial lease term.



9








Convertible Notes Payable and Derivative Instruments


We account for conversion options embedded in convertible notes in accordance with ASC 815. ASC 815 generally requires companies to bifurcate conversion options embedded in convertible notes from their host instruments and to account for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments. ASC 815 provides for an exception to this rule when convertible notes, as host instruments, are deemed to be conventional, as defined by ASC 815-40.


We account for convertible notes deemed conventional and conversion options embedded in non-conventional convertible notes which qualify as equity under ASC 815, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 470-20, which provides guidance on accounting for convertible securities with beneficial conversion features. Accordingly, we record, as a discount to convertible notes, the intrinsic value of such conversion options based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt.


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements


In June 2018, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement (FASB ASU 2018-07) to expand the scope of ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating the effects of this pronouncement on our consolidated financial statements, including potential early adoption.


On April 1, 2018, the Company adopted the accounting pronouncement issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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. The Company adopted this pronouncement on a modified retrospective and such adoption did not have a material impact on our financial position and/or results of operations.

 

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the accounting pronouncement issued by the FASB to clarify how entities should present restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. This guidance requires entities to show changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the combined statement of cash flows. This guidance was adopted on a retrospective basis, and such adoption did not have a material impact on combined financial position and/or results of operations.

In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-11 (“ASU 2017-11”), which addressed accounting for (I) certain financial instruments with down round features and (II) replacement of the indefinite deferral for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests with a scope exception. The main provisions of Part I of ASU 2017-11 change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS.” Under previous US GAAP, warrants with a down round feature are not being considered indexed to the entity’s own stock, which results in classification of the warrant as a derivative liability. Under ASU 2017-11, the down round feature qualifies for a scope exception from derivative treatment. ASU 2017-11 is effective for public companies as of December 15, 2018 and interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period, with adjustments reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year. The Company has issued financial instruments with down round features.


The Company opted to adopt ASU 2017-11 in its three-month interim period ended September 30, 2017, which is effective from April 1, 2017, with adjustments reflected in the accumulated deficit of stockholders’ deficiency as of April 1, 2017.  For details of the adjustments, please refer to Note 6 of the Financial Statements.


In May 2017, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASU 2017-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting.” ASU 2017-09 provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material impact on the financial position and/or results of operations.


On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted the accounting pronouncement issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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 that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, including valuation allowances, be classified as noncurrent. We adopted this pronouncement on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed financial position and/or results of operations.


On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted the accounting pronouncement issued by the FASB to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment. This guidance eliminates the requirement that an entity calculate the implied fair value of goodwill when measuring an impairment charge. Instead, an entity would record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. The Company adopted this pronouncement on a prospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed 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 adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed financial position and/or results of operations.

Results of Operations


As disclosed at the time of receiving the recent final Food and Drug Administration clearance, Biotricity immediately commenced the third-party manufacture of devices and hired its initial go-to-market sales force, choosing to launch limited market reviews of its device and the workflows associated with doctor and patient use, including the operations of the monitoring centers that this workflow entails. Though they can entail small amounts of revenue, the primary focus of these limited market reviews is the development of key opinion leaders that will work with the Company to improve the use of the device and all of the associated workflows in order to enhance commercialization and sales penetration in the areas we have chosen for initial launch.


From its inception in July 2009 through to June 30, 3018, Biotricity has generated a deficit of $28,867,947. We expect to incur additional operating losses, principally because of the anticipated initial limited sales we expect to be associated with a measured and well-executed commercialization path for Bioflux, our planned first product, as well as anticipated costs of continued research and development associated with product improvement and new product development. As we approach final stages of the commercialization, we also expect to devote significant resources towards capital expenditures in order to install an adequate operating infrastructure that can provide excellent customer service and sales support.


Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017


Operating Expenses


Total operating expenses for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 were $2,438,176 compared to $1,381,769 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2017, as further described below.


For the three-month period ended June 30, 2018, we incurred general and administrative expenses of $2,128,305 compared to $1,066,659 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017. The increase was due to the increased professional fees and product marketing and promotion required in preparing for the launch of a developed product, as well as payroll and compensation-related expenses associated with building professional sales force and an engineering division that is less reliant on contract consultants.


For the three-month period ended June 30, 2018, we incurred research and development expenses of 309,871 compared to research and development expenses of $315,110 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017. The associated level of activity has remained consistent during the three-month period ended June 30, 2017 despite completion of our FDA approval process and the preparing Bioflux for commercialization because we are intent on competing for our customers on the basis of being able to offer a product that is state of the art, with enhancements that will allow them to make more effective use of our device. We are also concurrently conducting research to develop other health monitoring products that will use the remote patient monitoring platform that we have developed.


Comparison of the results of the three-month period ended June 30, 2017 to the corresponding prior year period were affected by the Company’s adoption of ASU 2017-11 during the three-month period ended September 30, 2017. As a result, change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $42,128, previously recognized as an expense during the three-month period ended June 30, 2017, were reversed.


Net Loss


Net loss for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 was $2,420,516 (2017: $2,303,313) resulting in a loss per share of $0.076 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 (2017: $0.84).

Translation Adjustment


Translation adjustment loss for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 was $102,649 as compared to translation adjustment loss of $86,490 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. 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 of U.S. dollars.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


The Company is in development mode, operating a research and development program to develop, obtain regulatory approval for, and commercialize its proposed products.


We generally require cash to:

·

fund our operations and working capital requirements,

·

develop and execute our product development and market introduction plans,

·

fund research and development efforts, and

·

pay any debt obligations as they come due.


As a result of its being in development-mode, pre-revenue operations, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations, and as at June 30, 2018, has an accumulated deficit of $28,867,947. Management anticipates the Company will improve its liquidity through continued business development and after additional debt or equity investment in the Company. To do this, the Company has developed and continues to pursue sources of funding, including but not limited to those described below.


During the months ended June 30, 2018, the Company has entered into an arrangement with a private equity firm, that allows it to have use of a committed facility that allows it to raise up to $25 million in additional capital, at its discretion. The first sale of shares under this facility raised $515,000. Measured, discretionary use of this facility and any additional equity financing that the Company may undertake will be dilutive to existing stockholders.


During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company issued 141,500 shares as compensation to consultants that provide contractual services.   


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 continued commercialization of the Bioflux and the later introduction of Biolife products. Based on our current operating plans, we will require approximately $4 million ($7 million in order to accelerate commercialization) to grow our sales team and order devices that will be placed in the field to produce revenue. A portion of these funds will also go towards the further development of Bioflux in its next generation, in addition to including marketing, sales, regulatory and clinical costs to better introduce the product into the market place. We expect to require an additional approximately $4 million to also complete the development of our Biolife 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.



13








Based on the above facts and assumptions, we believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, along with anticipated near-term equity financings, will be sufficient to meet our needs for the next twelve months from the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. However, we will need to seek additional debt or equity capital 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. The terms of our future 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. There can be no assurance we will be able to raise this additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all.  If we are unable to obtain additional funding on a timely basis, we may be required to modify our operating plan and otherwise curtail or slow the pace of development and commercialization of our proposed product lines.


Net Cash Used in Operating Activities


During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we used cash in operating activities of $1,209,549 compared to $1,284,885 for the three months ended June 30, 2017.  These activities involved expenditures undertaken on business development, marketing and operating activities, as well as continued research and product development.


Net Cash from Financing Activities


Net cash provided by financing activities was $550,835 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $1,926,780 for the three months ended June 30, 2017.  Financing activities during the three months ended June 30, 2018 related to the installment of the Company’s new committed facility discussed above, whereas activities of the corresponding prior year period related to funds that were previously raised through a private placement offering of equity to accredited investors.


Net Cash Used in Investing Activities


The Company did not use any net cash in investing activities in the three months periods ended June 30, 2018 or 2017.


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.

Item 4.


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 officers have 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 to ensure that the material information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officer, as well as recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms relating to the Company, since the assessment and control of disclosure decisions is currently performed by a small team.  The Company has improved this situation by adding additional review levels and plans to further remediate this issue as it plans to expand its management team and build a fulsome internal control framework required by a more complex entity.


Changes in Internal Controls


There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three-month period ended June 30,2018 that have materially affected, or are 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.
