ITEM 1. BUSINESS
History
Security Devices International Inc. was incorporated on March 1, 2005. The Company began as a research and development company focused on the development of 40mm less-lethal ammunition. The term 40mm refers to the diameter of the bullet (sometimes also referred to as a round or a projectile) and bullets of this size are required for standard issue military riot guns. 40mm bullets are also the emerging standard among riot guns used by police forces and correctional services, although many police forces are currently using 37mm riot guns. 40mm rounds are quickly becoming the industry standard in both military and law enforcement circles.
The Company began with development of a wireless electric projectile (a WEP), named the Lektrox. The Company hired Elad Engineering Ltd. (Elad) a ballistics engineering firm located in Tel Aviv, Israel, to collaborate in the development of the WEP. The WEP uses mini-harpoons to fix the bullet to the target's clothing or body. The bullet contains an electrical system that releases a charge that imitates the electro-neural impulses used by the human body. Sending out a control signal to the muscles, this high-voltage low-current pulse overrides the target's nervous system inducing a muscle spasm that causes the target to fall to the ground helpless.
Commencing in December 2008, the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate (JNLWD) of the US Department of Defense, an organization responsible for the development and coordination of non-lethal weapons activities within the United States, tested the WEP through its evaluation facility at Penn State University. The testing evaluated the effectiveness and safety of the electrical output compared to the Governments standard total body effects model. Testing was completed in November 2009 and a report was prepared by Penn State University and submitted to the JNLWD in January 2010. An executive summary was released to the Company indicating a positive outcome. Research and development continued on the WEP until mid-2010.
To reduce kinetic energy levels, the head of the WEP contains a cushioning mechanism composed of a collapsible material that enlarges the contact surface and absorbs part of the impact. In June 2010, the Company began development of a 40mm blunt impact projectile (the BIP), which used the cushioning mechanism of the WEP but did not contain the electrical mechanism of the WEP. The BIP used the pain of impact to obtain compliance from the target.
In the fall of 2010 the Company underwent a change in the board of directors and management. Two new directors were appointed and the board of directors appointed a Chief Operating Officer. The Company contracted with Level 4 Capital Corp. to assist with restructuring of the Company, contract negotiations and operational issues.
Early in 2011 the Company decided to focus its attention on the BIP and to discontinue further development work on the WEP. The Company concluded that the cost and time required to complete development and testing of the BIP were significantly less than that required to complete development and testing of the WEP. The BIP is also less expensive to produce than the WEP, and can be sold for a lower price. The Company plans to use revenue received from BIP sales to complete the development and production line for the WEP.
Initially, the Companys products were designed, tested and assembled in Israel. In 2011, the Company moved its engineering, intellectual property and production facilities from Tel Aviv, Israel to the operator (the BIP Manufacturer) of an injection molding facility outside of Boston, Massachusetts. The BIP Manufacturer has a history of manufacturing 40mm components for the military sector, and provides molding services to the medical, aerospace, petrochemical, commercial, electronics, and defense industries.
The Company attended several military tradeshows through 2011 and signed a teaming agreement with Chemring Ordnance Inc. (Chemring), of Perry, Florida in December 2011. The agreement gives Chemring the non-exclusive right to market and sell the BIP worldwide for a five- year term. Chemring is responsible for its costs of marketing the BIPs and BIPs sold through this arrangement will bear the Chemring brand. The Company has retained the right to market the BIP directly to military, law enforcement and government agencies outside of Chemrings sales channels.
1
Research and development for the BIP was completed in the summer of 2012.
In October 2012, the Company obtained an ammunition certification from Chemring which meant that the BIP satisfied the standards set by Chemring for products which it would distribute.
In November 2012, the Company obtained a United States Department of Transportation number (DOT#) required in order for the Company to ship BIP rounds.
In June 2012, the Company contracted CRT Less Lethal Inc. (CRT) to test the BIP. CRT is a Seattle- based company founded in 2003 with expertise in the analysis, evaluation and human effects testing of less-lethal munitions. The testing protocol included accuracy, precision, consistency, muzzle and target energy, impact energy density and effective range of the BIP. Human volunteers were used during the test firing, revealing full effects to the lower body from the blunt trauma of the BIP. Extensive wound profiling from the tests were finalized in a detailed report from CRT. Based on data obtained from the three-stage evaluation, the BIP passed the CRT testing protocol for accuracy, consistency, relative safety and effectiveness.
In July 2012, the Company signed a five-year development, supply and manufacturing agreement with the BIP Manufacturer. An engineering team is available to the Company through the BIP Manufacturer for development of all of the core components of the BIP and any product changes that are necessary.
During 2012, the Company attended several law enforcement tradeshows and conducted live fire demonstrations with government agencies in Canada, and the US. Live fire demonstrations allow the Company to demonstrate the short and long distance firing capabilities, accuracy and relative safety of the BIP.
In 2012, the Company began the development of five new less-lethal ammunition rounds. These new rounds will be a modified version of the BIP, four of which will carry a payload, including; BIP MP (temporary powder-based marking agent), BIP ML (semi-permanent liquid marking agent), BIP OC (Oleoresin Capsicum A pepper spray liquid), BIP MO (malodorant liquid), and the BIP TR (training round). The Company has now moved into the testing phase with the payload rounds.
In 2013, the Company moved its full manufacturing operations to a supply manufacture and engineering company in the Boston, MA area. This allowed the Company to become fully autonomous from its previous partner, Chemring Ordnance of Florida, USA. SDI decreased its manufacturing costs in this process and is in full control of its manufacturing and logistics processes as a result.
In 2013 the Payload configuration was completed and the final versions of the BIP Payload rounds were prototyped. The full production of the BIP Payload models are to be completed in the first calendar quarter of 2014.
The Company undertook an Initial Public Offering (IPO) in January 2013, and became a public reporting issuer on the TSX-Venture Exchange in September 2013.
SDI continued to sign distributors, agents and referral agents to market and sell SDIs innovative non-lethal ammunition, globally. At year-end, SDI had signed a total of 9 distributors or agents, covering the following Countries: Canada, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, Turkey, Portugal, Spain, France, California, India, South America, and select African countries.
In June 2013, SDI, through its teaming agreement, Chemring Ordnance supplied the Israel Defense Forces with 900 BIP rounds for testing and evaluation. SDI also received a purchase order from the United States Border Patrol for 110 rounds to be used for testing and evaluation for a procurement that is expected in 2014.
Montreal Police also purchased rounds for testing and evaluation from SDI.
In the fourth quarter of 2013, SDI sold rounds to Orange County Florida Sheriffs department for use by their SWAT team as well as Campbell County, Virginia for SWAT use, and Indian River Sheriffs Department in Florida for use in their Correctional Services facility.
In November 2013, SDIs BIP rounds were showcased at the International SWAT Competition in Florida. The event hosted 57 SWAT teams from around the world that competed in a week long competition. SDIs BIP rounds were used by the competing teams in the less-lethal competition, giving SDI international exposure for their rounds.
The requests for demonstrations of SDIs products were strong from the Law Enforcement sector in 2013 and SDI staff conducted dozens of multi-agency live fire demonstrations, in 4 countries.
SDI attended and demonstrated to a military agency in an African country. The capability of the BIP round and the Company is currently in the follow up stage with this Agency.
SDI attended and demonstrated to a large Police Force in India. The capability of the BIP round and the Company is currently in the follow up stage with this Agency.

Products
SDIs business is the development, manufacture and sale of less-lethal ammunition. This ammunition is used by the military and police forces for crowd control.
The Company has two products:
a) |
The Company has developed the BIP, a blunt impact projectile which uses pain compliance to control a target. The Company is developing five versions of the standard BIP, four of which contain a payload and one of which is a cheaper cost practice round. A payload is an internal capsule within the BIP, which holds a liquid or powder substance. |
b) |
The Company has undertaken substantial work to develop the WEP, a wireless electric projective which releases an electrical pulse that induces a muscle spasm and causes the target to fall to the ground helpless. |
Less-Lethal Sector
Both military and law enforcement agencies are seeking alternatives to traditional lethal ammunition. From a military standpoint, the involvement of armed forces in populated areas has created a need for less-lethal ammunition. Police forces also require non-lethal ammunition for riot control and critical incident de-escalation, motivated in part by a desire to avoid expensive litigation.
Chemical irritants (such as tear gas) have been sporadically used by military and have been adopted by police forces around the world for use in riot control.
Throughout the 1970s and 1980s the military and police forces began to use kinetic energy impact projectiles. These projectiles included wood, rubber and bean-bag material as ammunition. Many of these projectiles are still being used by military and police forces around the world. There has been very little technology progression within this space over the last half a century.
The rubber bullet was developed by the Ministry of Defense for the British Army in Northern Ireland at the request of army officers who wanted a weapon for use in civil disturbances with a range beyond a stone-throwing distance. In managements opinion, rubber bullets are inaccurate and have unpredictable ricochets. In addition, management believes that they have caused numerous severe injuries and several deaths.
The nature of a militarys role has changed significantly to the extent that the military becomes actively engaged in the policing of civilian populations. This is where the military in effect, intersects with local police forces to support and uphold national and regional law. Today, military units are involved in on-going conflicts that bring them into direct contact with civilian populations in Iraq, Afghanistan and various countries in the Middle East. Soldiers who are deployed in humanitarian roles are often subject to rules of engagement, which disallow the use of deadly force unless soldiers encounter a lethal threat. The military requires less-lethal deterrent ammunition for use in crowd and riot control, perimeter security and pilfering situations. In managements opinion, less-lethal ammunition means a greater opportunity to preserve life.
Police and military forces require easily applied options for riot control without the consequences of lethal force. In addition to the litigation, administrative and financial resources required to defend the use of lethal force, there is a moral consideration as well. Police and military forces must balance the risk of injury or death to their own personnel against the risk of injury to civilians, including bystanders. Riot control involves difficult and challenging decision that often must be made within seconds.
Both police and military personnel are demanding access to options that fall somewhere between physically charging into a crowd with batons and firing munitions designed to kill targets. If these personnel are equipped and trained with less-lethal munitions, they are better equipped to diffuse a riot and regain control. By providing soldiers and police with a midlevel force response, appropriate to the level of threat, the chance of an escalation can be reduced. In addition, if this less-lethal response can be employed at a standoff distance, the troops or officers can maintain a buffer zone between themselves and the crowd. The capability to target a specific individual, as opposed to spraying an entire crowd, reduces the risk of injury to innocent bystanders and political backlash.
Conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, events such as the August 2011 UK riots, and the June 2012 Quebec student street violence have led governments, police and defense decision-makers to seek cost effective less-lethal weapons. These decision-makers understand that social media will limit the use of lethal weapons and a new generation of less-lethal weapons is required.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND PLAN OF OPERATION
This management discussion and analysis ("MD&A") in respect of the fiscal year ended November 30, 2013 includes information from, and should be read in conjunction with, the audited annual financial statements and related notes for SDI for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2013.
Comparison of Year Ended November 30, 2013 to Year Ended November 30, 2012
i. Overview
The Corporation has $30,096 of revenue during the year ended November 30, 2013 and we continue to operate at a loss. We expect our operating losses to continue for so long as we remain in a development stage and perhaps thereafter. As of November 30, 2013, we had accumulated losses of $21,320,357 (November 30, 2012 - $19,296,146). Our ability to emerge from the development stage and conduct business operations is dependent, in large part, upon our raising additional equity financing.
As described in greater detail below, the Corporations major financial endeavor over the years has been its effort to raise additional capital to pursue its development activities.
ii. Assets
Total assets as of November 30, 2013 includes cash and cash equivalent of $1,842,149, accounts receivable of $20,351, prepaid expenses and other receivables of $45,372 and plant and equipment for $152,137 net of depreciation. Total assets as of November 30, 2012 includes cash of $232,471, deferred costs of $32,500, prepaid expenses and other receivables of $7,200 and plant and equipment for $145,048 net of depreciation. Total assets increased from $417,219 on November 30, 2012 to $2,060,009 on November 30, 2013. This increase is primarily the result of net proceeds from issuance of common stock for $3,069,700 offset in part by expenses incurred in normal course of business.
iii. Revenues
Revenue from operations during the year ended November 30, 2013 was $30,096 as compared to $Nil during the year ended November 30, 2012.
iv. Net Loss
The Corporations expenses are reflected in the Statements of Operation under the category of Operating Expenses. The significant components of expense that have contributed to the total operating expense are discussed as follows:
(a) General and Administration Expense
General and administration expense represents professional, consulting, office and general and other miscellaneous costs incurred during the years covered by this report.
General and administration expense for the year ended November 30, 2013 was $1,698,523, as compared with $2,056,996 for the year ended November 30, 2012. General and administration expense decreased by $358,473 in the current year, as compared to the prior year. The primary reasons for the change in general and administrative costs are as follows:
During the year ended November 30, 2013 the Company expensed a total of $296,700 as management fees for payment to its three directors. During the year ended November 30, 2012 the Company expensed a total of $272,400 as Management fee for payment to its three directors.
The Corporation expensed stock based compensation expense (included in general and administrative expenses) for issue of options and warrants for $Nil during the year ended November 30, 2013 ($929,365 in 2012). Stock based compensation expense does not require the use of cash (non-cash expenses), associated with the issuance of options and warrants.
Filing expenses increased by $84,045 in 2013 as compared to 2012 as the Company obtained a listing of its common stock on TSXV in Canada.
Consulting expenses increased in 2013 as compared to 2012:
Effective January 1, 2013, the Company executed contracts with two consultants to assist the Company with sales initiatives, demos and participate in trade shows on a remuneration of $7,000 each per month.
Effective November 1, 2013, the Company executed an agreement with a non-related consultant to pay compensation of $10,000 per month. The consultant has agreed to act as a corporate advisor to assist in the development of strategies and tactics to improve the Companys external communication of its corporate strategy and asset value.
In addition, the Company increased its travel expenses by an additional $72,233 in 2013 as compared to 2012 primarily to move the business towards production.
6
(b) Research and Product Development costs
Research and Product Development costs include research costs incurred on the Corporations less-than-lethal defense technology. Research and Product Development costs for the year ended November 30, 2013 was $nil, as compared to recovery of ($215,143) for the year ended November 30, 2012.
On November 30, 2009, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with its former research and development services contractor Elad Engineering Ltd. (Elad) to settle their liability. On March 13, 2012, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Elad to settle the accounts payable. Elad had previously performed services for the development of a less-than-lethal-electric-projectile and blunt impact projectile. At the date of the settlement agreement, the Company owed Elad $315,143.The Company and Elad agreed to irrevocably waive and release each other from any claim, demand or action in connection with services provided, upon payment of $100,000 by the Company to Elad no later than March 20, 2012. The $100,000 payment was made on March 20, 2012. The Company recorded the reduction of the payable in the amount of $215,143 as recovery of research and development product development cost. This was measured as the difference between the amount payable to Elad and the settlement amount.

x. Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates are based on our best knowledge of current events and actions the Corporation may undertake in the future. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments. To the extent actual results differ from those estimates; our future results of operations may be affected.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11 (ASU 2011-11), Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which requires certain additional disclosure requirements about financial instruments and derivatives instruments that are subject to netting arrangements. The new disclosures are required for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those periods. The adoption of this update did not have an impact on the financial statements of the Company.
In August 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-03, Technical Amendments and Corrections to SEC Sections: Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 114, Technical Amendments Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-9250, and Corrections Related to FASB Accounting Standards Update 2010-22 (SEC Update) in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-03. This update amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of SAB No. 114. The adoption of ASU 2012-03 is not expected to have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations.
In October 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2012-04, Technical Corrections and Improvements in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-04. The amendments in this update cover a wide range of topics in the Accounting Standards Codification. These amendments include technical corrections and improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification and conforming amendments related to fair value measurements. The amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2012-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations.
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-04, "Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date." This ASU addresses the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of certain obligations resulting from joint and several arrangements including debt arrangements, other contractual obligations, and settled litigation and judicial rulings.

Risk Factors
Additional Financing
The Corporation does not have adequate revenue to fund all of its operational needs and may require additional financing to continue its operations if it is unable to generate substantial revenue growth. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available at all or on favorable terms. Failure to generate substantial revenue growth may result in the Corporation looking to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of the Corporations deployment of its products, resulting in the possible dilution. Any such financing will dilute the ownership interest of the Corporations shareholders at the time of the financing, and may dilute the value of their shareholdings.
General Venture Company Risks
The Common Shares must be considered highly speculative due to the nature of the Corporations business, the early stage of its deployment, its current financial position and ongoing requirements for capital. An investment in the Common Shares should only be considered by those persons who can afford a total loss of investment, and is not suited to those investors who may need to dispose of their investment in a timely fashion. Investors should consult with their own professional advisors to assess the legal, financial and other aspects of an investment in Common Shares.
Uncertainty of Revenue Growth
There can be no assurance that the Corporation can generate substantial revenue growth, or that any revenue growth that is achieved can be sustained. Revenue growth that the Corporation has achieved or may achieve may not be indicative of future operating results. In addition, the Corporation may increase further its operating expenses in order to fund increase its sales and marketing efforts and increase its administrative resources in anticipation of future growth. To the extent that increases in such expenses precede or are not subsequently followed by increased revenues, the Corporations business, operating results and financial condition will be materially adversely affected.
13
Dependence on Management and Key Personnel
The Corporation is dependent on certain members of its management. The loss of the services of one or more of them could adversely affect the Corporation. The Corporations ability to maintain its competitive position is dependent upon its ability to attract and retain highly qualified managerial, specialized technical, manufacturing, sales and marketing personnel. There can be no assurance that the Corporation will be able to continue to recruit and retain such personnel. The inability of the Corporation to recruit and retain such personnel would adversely affect the Corporations operations and product development.
Dependence on Key Suppliers
The Corporation may be able to purchase certain key components of its products from a limited number of suppliers. Failure of a supplier to provide sufficient quantities on favorable terms or on a timely basis could result in possible lost sales.
Product Liability
The Corporation may be subject to proceedings or claims that may arise in the ordinary conduct of the business, which could include product and service warranty claims, which could be substantial. If its products fail to perform as warranted and it fails to quickly resolve product quality or performance issues in a timely manner, sales may be lost and it may be forced to pay damages. Any failure to meet customer requirements could materially affect its business, results of operations and financial condition. The occurrence of product defects and the inability to correct errors could result in the delay or loss of market acceptance of its products, material warranty expense, diversion of technological and other resources from its product development efforts, and the loss of credibility with customers, manufacturers representatives, distributors, value added resellers, systems integrators, original equipment manufacturers and end-users, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Corporations business, operating results and financial conditions.
The Corporation currently has general liability insurance which includes product liability coverage. There is no assurance this insurance policy will cover all potential claims which may have a material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Corporation. A product recall could have a material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Corporation.
Strategic Alliances
The Corporation relies upon, and expects to rely upon, strategic alliances with original equipment manufacturers for the manufacturing and distribution of its products. There can be no assurance that such strategic alliances can be achieved or will achieve their goals.
Marketing and Distribution Capabilities
In order to commercialize its technology, the Corporation must either acquire or develop an internal marketing and sales force with technical expertise and with supporting distribution capabilities or arrange for third parties to perform these services. In order to market any of its products, the Corporation must either acquire or develop a sales and distribution infrastructure. The acquisition or development of a sales and distribution infrastructure would require substantial resources, which may divert the attention of its Management and key personnel, and defer its product development and deployment efforts. To the extent that the Corporation enters into marketing and sales arrangements with other companies, its revenues will depend on the efforts of others. These efforts may not be successful. If the Corporation fails to develop substantial sales, marketing and distribution channels, or to enter into arrangements with third parties for those purposes, it will experience delays in product sales and incur increased costs.
Rapid Technological Development
The markets for the Corporations products and services are characterized by rapidly changing technology and evolving industry standards, which could result in product obsolescence or short product life cycles. Accordingly, the Corporations success is dependent upon its ability to anticipate technological changes in the industries it serves and to successfully identify, obtain, develop and market new products that satisfy evolving industry requirements. There can be no assurance that the Corporation will successfully develop new products or enhance and improve its existing products or that any new products and enhanced and improved existing products will achieve market acceptance. Further, there can be no assurance that competitors will not market products that have perceived advantages over the Corporations products or which render the products currently sold by the Corporation obsolete or less marketable.
The Corporation must commit significant resources to developing new products before knowing whether its investments will result in products the market will accept. To remain competitive, the Corporation may be required to invest significantly greater resources then currently anticipated in research and development and product enhancement efforts, and result in increased operating expenses.
Competition
The Corporations industry is highly competitive and composed of many domestic and foreign companies. The Corporation has experienced and expects to continue to experience, substantial competition from numerous competitors whom it expects to continue to improve their products and technologies. Competitors may announce and introduce new products, services or enhancements that better meet the needs of end-users or changing industry standards, or achieve greater market acceptance due to pricing, sales channels or other factors. Competitors may be able to respond more quickly than the Corporation to changes in end-user requirements and devote greater resources to the enhancement, promotion and sale of their products.
14
Regulation
The Corporation is subject to numerous federal, provincial, state and local environmental, health and safety legislation and measures relating to the manufacture of ammunition. There can be no assurance that the Corporation will not experience difficulties with its efforts to comply with applicable regulations as they change in the future or that its continued compliance efforts (or failure to comply with applicable requirements) will not have a material adverse effect on the Corporations results of operations, business, prospects and financial condition. The Corporations continued compliance with present and changing future laws could restrict the Corporations ability to modify or expand its facilities or continue production and could require the Corporation to acquire costly equipment or to incur other significant expense.
Intellectual Property
The Corporations ability to compete effectively will depend, in part, on its ability to maintain the proprietary nature of its technology and manufacturing processes. Although the Corporation considers certain of its product designs as well as manufacturing processes involving certain of its products to be proprietary, patents or copyrights do not protect all design and manufacturing processes. The Corporation has adopted procedures to protect its intellectual property and maintain secrecy of its confidential business information and trade secrets. However, there can be no assurance that such procedures will afford complete protection of such intellectual property, confidential business information and trade secrets. There can be no assurance that the Corporations competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to the Corporations technology.
To protect the Corporations intellectual property, it may become involved in litigation, which could result in substantial expenses, divert the attention of its management, cause significant delays and materially disrupt the conduct of its business.
Infringement of Intellectual Property Rights
While the Corporation believes that its products and other intellectual property do not infringe upon the proprietary rights of third parties, its commercial success depends, in part, upon the Corporation not infringing intellectual property rights of others. A number of the Corporations competitors and other third parties have been issued or may have filed patent applications or may obtain additional patents and proprietary rights for technologies similar to those utilized by the Corporation. Some of these patents may grant very broad protection to the owners of the patents. The Corporation has not undertaken a review to determine whether any existing third party patents or the issuance of any third party patents would require the Corporation to alter its technology, obtain licenses or cease certain activities. The Corporation may become subject to claims by third parties that its technology infringes their intellectual property rights due to the growth of products in its target markets, the overlap in functionality of those products and the prevalence of products. The Corporation may become subject to these claims either directly or through indemnities against these claims that it provides to end-users, manufacturers representatives, distributors, value added resellers, system integrators and original equipment manufacturers.
Litigation may be necessary to determine the scope, enforceability and validity of third party proprietary rights or to establish the Corporations proprietary rights. Some of its competitors have, or are affiliated with companies having, substantially greater resources than the Corporation and these competitors may be able to sustain the costs of complex intellectual property litigation to a greater degree and for a longer period of time than the Corporation. Regardless of their merit, any such claims could be time consuming to evaluate and defend, result in costly litigation, cause product shipment delays or stoppages, divert managements attention and focus away from the business, subject the Corporation to significant liabilities and equitable remedies, including injunctions, require the Corporation to enter into costly royalty or licensing agreements and require the Corporation to modify or stop using infringing technology.
The Corporation may be prohibited from developing or commercializing certain technologies and products unless it obtains a license from a third party. There can be no assurance that it will be able to obtain any such license on commercially favourable terms or at all. If it does not obtain such a license, it could be required to cease the sale of certain of its products.
Health and Safety
Health and safety issues related to its products may arise that could lead to litigation or other action against the Corporation or to regulation of certain of its product components. The Corporation may be required to modify its technology and may not be able to do so. It may also be required to pay damages that may reduce its profitability and adversely affect its financial condition. Even if these concerns prove to be baseless, the resulting negative publicity could affect the Corporations ability to market certain of its products and, in turn, could harm its business and results from operations.
Stress in the global financial system may adversely affect the Corporations operations in ways that may be hard to predict or to defend against
Recent events have demonstrated that businesses and industries throughout the world are very tightly connected to each other. Thus, events seemingly unrelated to the Corporation, or to its industry, may adversely affect its finances or operations in ways that are hard to predict or defend against. For example, credit contraction in financial markets may hurt the Corporations ability to access credit when it is needed or rapid changes in foreign exchange rates may adversely affect financial results. Finally, a reduction in credit, combined with reduced economic activity, may adversely affect businesses and industries that collectively constitute a significant portion of the Corporations customer base. As a result, these customers may need to reduce their purchases of the Corporations products, or there may be greater difficulty in receiving payment for the products that these customers purchase from the Corporation. Any of these events, or any other events caused by turmoil in world financial markets, may have a material adverse effect on the business, operating results, and financial condition.
Insurance and Uninsured Risks
The Corporations business is subject to a number of risks and hazards including industrial accidents, labour disputes, changes in the regulatory environment. Such occurrences could result in damage to equipment, personal injury or death, monetary losses and possible legal liability. Although the Corporation maintains liability insurance in amounts which it considers adequate, the nature of these risks is such that liabilities might exceed policy limits, the liabilities and hazards might not be insurable, or the Corporation may elect not to insure against such liabilities due to high premium costs or other reasons, in which event the Corporation could incur significant costs that could have a materially adverse effect upon its financial position.
Conflicts of Interest
Certain directors and officers of the Corporation are or may become associated with other companies in the same or related industries which may give rise to conflicts of interest. Directors who have a material interest in any person who is a party to a material contract or a proposed material contract with the Corporation are required, subject to certain exceptions, to disclose that interest and generally abstain from voting on any resolution to approve the contract. In addition, the directors and the officers are required to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation. The directors and officers of the Corporation have either other full-time employment or other business or time restrictions placed on them and accordingly, the Corporation will not be the only business enterprise of these directors and officers.
15
Dividend Policy
The Corporation has not paid dividends in the past and has no plans to pay dividends for the foreseeable future. The future dividend policy of the Corporation will be determined by its directors.
Lack of Active Market
There can be no assurance that an active market for the Common Shares will continue and any increased demand to buy or sell the Common Shares can create volatility in price and volume.
Market Price of Common Shares
There can be no assurance that an active market for the Common Shares will be sustained. Securities of small and mid cap companies have experienced substantial volatility in the past, often based on factors unrelated to the financial performance or prospects of the companies involved. These factors include global economic developments and market perceptions of the attractiveness of certain industries. The price per Common Share is also likely to be affected by change in the Corporations financial condition or results of operations as reflected in its quarterly filings. Other factors unrelated to the performance of the Corporation that may have an effect on the price of Common Shares include the following: the extent of analytical coverage available to subscribers concerning the business of the Corporation may be limited if investment banks with research capabilities do not follow the Corporations securities; lessening in trading volume and general market interest in the Corporations securities may affect a subscribers ability to trade significant numbers of Common Shares, the size of the Corporations public float may limit the ability of some institutions to invest in the Corporations securities; a substantial decline in the price of the Common Shares that persists for a significant period of time could cause the Corporations securities to be delisted from the exchange, further reducing market liquidity. If an active market for the Common Shares does not continue, the liquidity of a subscribers investment may be limited and the price of the Common Shares may decline. If such a market does not develop, subscribers may lose their entire investment in the Common Shares.
Political Regulatory Risks
Any changes in government policy may result in changes to laws affecting the sale of the Corporations products. This may affect the Corporations ability to ship product in the future. The possibility that future governments may adopt substantially different policies, may also effect the Corporations operations. Local governments in all countries the Corporation deals with issue end user certificates to purchase or receive live ammunition from the Corporation. It is the decision of these countries in the Middle East, the United States, Canada, Europe, and the Baltics whether or not they will take possession or purchase such munitions.
Dividends
The Corporation has not, since the date of its incorporation, declared or paid any dividends on its Common Shares and does not currently intend to pay dividends. Earnings, if any, will be retained to finance further growth and development of the business of the Corporation.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
SDI maintains a system of controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (1934 Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by SDI in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act, is accumulated and communicated to SDIs management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of November 30, 2013, SDIs Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of SDIs disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that as of November 30, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting disclosed below.
Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
SDIs management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. As defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of SDIs principal executive officer and principal financial officer and implemented by SDIs Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of SDIs financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
SDIs management evaluated the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2013 based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or the COSO Framework. Managements assessment included an evaluation of the design of SDIs internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of those controls.
Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting as of November 30, 2013 were not effective due to the following material weakness:
Inherent in any small business is the pervasive problem involving segregation of duties. Since SDI has a small accounting department, segregation of duties cannot be completely accomplished at this stage in its corporate lifecycle.
In order to correct the foregoing material weakness, during the fiscal year 2013, we have taken and are taking the following remediation measures that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting:
-
We have several Directors with business experience and spending time with the business.
-
We have established an audit committee of our board of directors. The audit committee will provide oversight of our accounting and financial reporting;
-
We have a Chief Financial Officer who has knowledge of, and experience regarding, U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements.
Accordingly, SDIs management has added compensating controls to reduce and minimize the risk of a material misstatement in SDIs annual and interim financial statements.
There was no change in SDIs internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended November 30, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, SDIs internal control over financial reporting.

These options/warrants have been valued using Black-Scholes methodology. The following assumptions were made for purposes of calculating the value of options/warrants based awards: an expected option term of 4 years to exercise for 2012 awards; a projected dividend of zero; projected stock price volatility of 206.87% for 2012 awards and a risk-free interest rate of 2% for 2012 awards. |
The actual value realized, if any, on option/warrant exercises will be dependent on overall market conditions and the future performance of the Corporation and its Common Shares. | |

Stock Option and Bonus Plans
SDI has adopted stock option and stock bonus plans. A summary description of these plans follows. In some cases these Plans are collectively referred to as the Plans.
Incentive Stock Option Plan. SDIs Incentive Stock Option Plan authorizes the issuance of shares of SDIs Common Stock to persons that exercise options granted pursuant to the Plan. Only SDI employees may be granted options pursuant to the Incentive Stock Option Plan. The option exercise price is determined by SDIs directors but cannot be less than the market price of SDIs common stock on the date the option is granted.
Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan. SDIs Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan authorizes the issuance of shares of SDIs Common Stock to persons that exercise options granted pursuant to the Plans. SDIs employees, directors, officers, consultants and advisors are eligible to be granted options pursuant to the Plans, provided however that bona fide services must be rendered by such consultants or advisors and such services must not be in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction.
22
Stock Bonus Plan. SDIs Stock Bonus Plan allows for the issuance of shares of common stock to its employees, directors, officers, consultants and advisors. However bona fide services must be rendered by the consultants or advisors and such services must not be in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction.
Effective May 31, 2013, the Company adopted an incentive stock option plan (the 2013 Plan), which replaces the stock option and stock bonus plans that were in place prior to adoption of the 2013 Plan. All outstanding options to purchase Common Shares granted by the Company under the prior plans are now governed by the 2013 Plan and the prior plans (an Incentive Stock Option Plan, a Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, and a Stock Bonus Plan) have been terminated.

The following tables show all options exercised by SDIs current officers and directors since the inception of SDI and through November 30, 2013, and the options held by the officers and directors named below.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Security
Devices International, Inc.
(A Development Stage Enterprise)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Security Devices International, Inc. (the Company) as of November 30, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, cash flows and changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) for the years ended November 30, 2013 and 2012 and the period from inception (March 1, 2005) to November 30, 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of November 30, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended November 30, 2013 and 2012 and the period from inception (March 1, 2005) to November 30, 2013, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has limited revenues and expects to continue to incur significant expenses from operations. The Companys future success is dependent upon its ability to raise sufficient capital, not only to cover its operating expenses, but also to continue to develop and be able to profitably market its products. Those factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
The financial statements include the accounts of Security Devices International Inc. (the Company or SDI) were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on March 1, 2005. | |
2. |
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN |
The Company is a non-lethal defense technology company, specializing in the development of innovative next generation solutions for security situations that do not require the use of lethal force. SDI has implemented manufacturing partnerships to assist in the deployment of their patented and patent pending family of products. These products consist of the Blunt Impact Projectile 40mm (BIP) line of products, and the Wireless Electric Projectile 40mm (WEP). | |
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next fiscal year. | |
The Company has incurred a cumulative loss of $21,320,357 from inception to November 30, 2013 which includes a non-cash stock based compensation expense of $6,485,771 for issue of options and warrants. The Company has funded operations through the issuance of capital stock and convertible debentures. The Company is considered a development stage enterprise since it has not realized significant revenues. The company has started to generate revenue from operations. However, it still expects to incur significant expenses before becoming profitable. The Companys future success is dependent upon its ability to raise sufficient capital or generate adequate revenue, to cover its ongoing operating expenses, and also to continue to develop and be able to profitably market its products. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. | |
In addition to raising funds in the prior years, the Company raised $160,000 through the issuance of 800,000 common shares during the year ended November 30, 2011. The Company further raised an additional $878,328 by issue of Convertible Debentures during the year ended November 30, 2011 and $910,000 during the year ended November 30, 2012. In addition, the Company raised $649,750 by issuance of 2,165,834 common shares during the year ended November 30, 2012. On August 15, 2013, the Company filed an amended and restated final prospectus (the Prospectus) in Canada, in the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario for listing its shares in these provinces in Canada. On August 27, 2013 the Company completed an initial public offering to raise gross proceeds of CAD $3,993,980 (US $3,794,280) through the issuance of 9,984,950 Common Shares at a price of CAD $0.40 (US $0.38) per Common Share (the Issue Price). The Companys common shares commenced trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX) under the symbol SDZ. |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
a) |
Use of Estimates | |
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. As the precise determination of assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses, depends on future events, the preparation of financial statements for any period necessarily involves the use of estimates. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates. Significant estimates include accruals, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, estimates for calculation of stock based compensation, estimating the useful life of its plant and equipment and accounting for converstion features on convertible debt transactions. | ||
b) |
Income Taxes | |
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (ASC 740-10-25). Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740- 10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets likely. The Company did not incur any material impact to its financial condition or results of operations due to the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company is subject to U.S federal jurisdiction income tax examinations for the tax years 2007 through 2012. In addition, the Company is subject to state and local income tax examinations for the tax years 2007 through 2012. | ||
c) |
Revenue Recognition | |
The Companys revenue recognition policies follow common practice in the manufacturing industry. The Company records revenue when it is realized, or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue to be realized, or realizable and earned, when the following revenue recognition requirements are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; the products or services have been accepted by the customer via delivery or installation acceptance; the sales price is fixed or determinable; and collectability is probable. For product sales, the Company determines that the earnings process is complete when title, risk of loss and the right to use product has transferred to the customer. In addition, the company also recognizes revenue pursuant to a teaming agreement, wherein, if a contract is awarded and executed, revenue is recognized in accordance with the sharing of revenue as set out in the teaming agreement (also refer to note 12). |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-Contd | |
d) |
Earnings (Loss) Per Share | |
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus common stock equivalents (if dilutive) related to stock options and warrants for each year. There were no common equivalent shares outstanding at November 30, 2013 and 2012 that have been included in dilutive loss per share calculation as the effects would have been anti-dilutive. At November 30, 2013, there were 1,510,000 options and 5,542,645 warrants outstanding, which were convertible into equal number of common shares of the Company. At November 30, 2012, there were 1,660,000 options and 4,319,000 warrants outstanding, which were convertible into equal number of common shares of the Company. | ||
e) |
Cash and cash equivalents | |
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, and any other highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less. The carrying amounts approximate fair values because of the short maturity of those instruments. | ||
f) |
Research and Product Development | |
Research and Product Development costs, other than capital expenditures but including acquired research and product development costs, are charged against income in the period incurred. | ||
g) |
Stock-Based Compensation | |
All awards granted to employees and non-employees after November 30, 2005 are valued at fair value by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and recognized on a straight line basis over the service periods of each award. The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees using the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earlier of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services. As of November 30, 2013 there was $nil of unrecognized expense related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements granted. The total stock-based compensation expense relating to all employees and non employees for the years ended November 30, 2013 and 2012 was $Nil and $929,365 respectively. |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-Contd | |
h) |
Foreign Currency | |
The Company maintains its books, records and banking transactions in U.S. dollars which is its functional and reporting currency. Exchange gains and losses are realized due to the differences in the exchange rate at the transaction date versus the rate in effect at the settlement or balance sheet date. Exchange gains and losses are recorded in the statement of operations. | ||
i) |
Comprehensive loss | |
Comprehensive loss includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non- owner sources. Examples of items to be included in comprehensive loss, which are excluded from net loss, include foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities. | ||
j) |
Financial Instruments | |
The Companys financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. | ||
The Company follows ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820-10), which among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, a three-tier fair value hierarchy has been established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: |
Level 1Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Assets that are generally included in this category are cash and cash equivalents comprised of money market funds, restricted cash and short-term investments.
Level 2Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instruments anticipated life.
Level 3Inputs reflect managements best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.

Cash and cash equivalents have been measured using Level 1 of the Fair Value Hierarchy. | ||
k) |
Impairment of Long-lived Assets | |
Long-lived assets to be held and used are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. If there are indications of impairment, the Company uses future undiscounted cash flows of the related asset or asset group over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded asset values, the assets are written down to their estimated fair value. | ||
l) |
Concentration of Credit Risk | |
The Company does not have significant off-balance sheet risk or credit concentration. |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements-Contd |
In October 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2012-04, Technical Corrections and Improvements in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-04. The amendments in this update cover a wide range of topics in the Accounting Standards Codification. These amendments include technical corrections and improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification and conforming amendments related to fair value measurements. The amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2012-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations.
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-04, "Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date." This ASU addresses the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of certain obligations resulting from joint and several arrangements including debt arrangements, other contractual obligations, and settled litigation and judicial rulings. This ASU is effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance.
In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, "Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity." This ASU addresses the accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity. The guidance outlines the events when cumulative translation adjustments should be released into net income and is intended by FASB to eliminate some disparity in current accounting practice. This ASU is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance.
In July 2013, the FASB issued 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry forward Exists (ASU 2013-11), which requires entities to present an unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss (NOL) or tax credit carry forward whenever the NOL or tax credit carry forward would be available to reduce the additional taxable income or tax due if the tax position is disallowed. This accounting standard update requires entities to assess whether to net the unrecognized tax benefit with a deferred tax asset as of the reporting date. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance.

Accounting for the Financings:
The Company has evaluated the terms and conditions of the convertible debentures under the guidance of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The conversion features meet the definition of conventional convertible for purposes of applying the conventional convertible exemption. The definition of conventional contemplates a limitation on the number of shares issuable under the arrangement. In the case of Convertible Debentures 2, 4 and 5 the instrument is convertible into a fixed number of shares. Although this instrument contains a down-round protection feature, it was determined to be insignificant and did not preclude characterization as conventional convertible. Since the Convertible Debentures achieved the conventional convertible exemption, the Company was required to consider whether the hybrid contracts embody a beneficial conversion feature. In the case of Convertible Debenture5, the calculation of the effective conversion amount resulted in a beneficial conversion feature. However, in the case of Convertible Debentures 2 and 4 the calculation of the effective conversion amount did not result in a beneficial conversion feature. At inception, the Company recorded a beneficial conversion feature for Convertible Debenture 5 as a component of stockholders equity.
The optional redemption feature embedded in Convertible Debentures 2, 4 and 5 were not considered clearly and closely related to the host debt instrument. The Company analyzed the down-round protection feature, which expires 45 days from the inception date of the financing. The Company determined that there were no contemplated financings during this time period that would trigger the down-round protection feature. Given the features short-term nature and the unlikelihood of a triggering event occurring, the down-round protection feature was deemed immaterial at inception and thus does not require bifurcation and liability classification.
The purchase price allocation for Convertible Debenture 5 resulted in a debt discount of $50,000 respectively. The discount on the debenture is being amortized through periodic charges to interest expense over the term of the debenture using the effective interest method.

$199,342 (CAD $200,000) Convertible Bridge Loan
On January 30, 2013, the Company issued a $199,342 (CAD $200,000) 6% convertible bridge loan with a term to July 30, 2013 (the Maturity Date). The holder has the option at any time prior to the maturity date to demand the payment of principal and interest (the Demand Date). Therefore, the principal amount of the note and interest is payable at the earlier of the demand date or the maturity date. In the event the holder demands payment, the Company has ten days to make payment. In the event the Company does not make payment within the ten day period, the holder has the option to convert the outstanding principal, interest, and top-up mechanism into common stock. The conversion price of the note is equal to the twenty day moving average of the trading market price on the date of conversion (variable conversion price). The holder is entitled to the maximum allowable discount. As a top-up mechanism, on or before the maturity date, the Company is required to pay the holder $11,961. This top-up mechanism is payable in addition the 6% interest due on the note. In connection with the issuance of the bridge loan, the Company issued detachable warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of the Companys common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of CAD$0.50 per share and a time to expiration of two years.
The Company evaluated the terms and conditions of the convertible bridge loan and detachable warrants under the guidance of ASC 815. Even though the instrument's conversion price used to calculate the settlement amount is not fixed the embedded conversion feature is still considered indexed to an entity's own stock under the guidance of ASC 815 because the only variables that could affect the settlement amount are inputs to the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed forward or option on equity shares. However, the conversion feature did not meet the conditions for equity classification provided in paragraphs 11 through 35 of ASC 815-40-25 because due to the variable conversion price contained in the contracts, the number of shares that could be required to be delivered upon net-share settlement is essentially indeterminate. Therefore, the conversion feature requires bifurcation and liability classification. There were no terms or features contained in the warrant agreement that would preclude the warrants from achieving equity classification.
The following table reflects the allocation on the financing date:
Convertible Bridge Loans | $ | 199,342 Face Value | ||
Proceeds | $ | (199,342 | ) | |
Embedded conversion feature | 159,268 | |||
Paid in capital (warrants) | 24,246 | |||
Convertible bridge loans | 15,828 |
On September 16, 2013, the holder converted the bridge loan ($199,342), accrued interest ($7,504), and top-up mechanism ($11,961) totaling $218,807 into 736,078 shares of common stock. Prior to the conversion, the discount of $183,514 was amortized up to face value using the effective interest method.
$97,456 (CAD $100,000) Convertible Bridge Loan
On March 14, 2013, the Company issued a $97,456 (CAD $100,000) 6% convertible bridge loan with a term to July 30, 2013 (the Maturity Date). The holder has the option at any time prior to the maturity date to demand the payment of principal and interest (the Demand Date). Therefore, the principal amount of the note and interest is payable at the earlier of the demand date or the maturity date. In the event the holder demands payment, the Company has ten days to make payment. In the event the Company does not make payment within the ten day period, the holder has the option to convert the outstanding principal, interest, and top-up mechanism into common stock. The conversion price of the note is equal to the twenty day moving average of the trading market price on the date of conversion (variable conversion price). The holder is entitled to the maximum allowable discount. As a top-up mechanism, on or before the maturity date, the Company is required to pay the holder $5,847. This top-up mechanism is payable in addition the 6% interest due on the note. In connection with the issuance of the bridge loan, the Company issued detachable warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of the Companys common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of CAD$0.50 per share and a time to expiration of two years.
