CANNABICS PHARMACEUTICALS INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
November 30, 2014
(unaudited)
Note 1 – Nature of Business, Presentation and Going Concern
Organization
Cannabics Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the "Company"), was incorporated in the State of Nevada, on September 15, 2004, under the name of Thrust Energy Corp. The Company was originally engaged in the exploration, exploitation, development and production of oil and gas projects within North America, but was unable to operate profitably.
In May 2011, the Company changed its name to American Mining Corporation, suspending its oil and gas operations and changing its business to toll milling and refining, mineral exploration and mine development.
On April 25, 2014, the Company experienced a change in control. Cannabics, Inc. (“Cannabics”) acquired a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company in accordance with stock purchase agreements by and between Cannabics and Thomas Mills (“Mills”). On the closing date, April 25, 2014, pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Cannabics purchased from Mills 20,500,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding restricted common stock for $198,000, representing 51%.
On May 21, 2014, the Company changed its name, via merger in the state of Nevada, to Cannabics Pharmaceuticals Inc. As of May 21, 2014, the Company has changed its course of business to laboratory research and development.
On August 25, 2014, the Company organized G.R.I.N. Ultra Ltd. (“GRIN”), an Israeli corporation, as a wholly-owned subsidiary. GRIN provides research and development activities for the Company’s products in Israel.
Stock Split
On June 3, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors declared a two-to-one forward stock split of all outstanding shares of common stock. The stock split was approved by FINRA on June 25, 2014. The effect of the stock split increased the number of shares of common stock outstanding from 40,880,203 to 81,760,406. All common share and per common share data in these financial statements and related notes hereto have been retroactively adjusted to account for the effect of the stock split for all periods presented prior to June 3, 2014. The total number of authorized common shares and the par value thereof was not changed by the split.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial statement presentation and in accordance with Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required in annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year.
These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with our 2014 annual financial statements included in our Form 10-K/A, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 15, 2014.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cannabics Pharmaceuticals Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, G.R.I.N. Ultra Ltd. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred a net loss of $127,658 for the three months ended November 30, 2014 and has incurred cumulative losses since inception of $865,409. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its abilities to generate revenues, to continue to raise investment capital, and develop and implement its business plan. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)
Note 1 – Nature of Business, Presentation and Going Concern (Continued)
Going Concern (Continued)
The unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported losses, total assets, or stockholders’ equity as previously reported.
Note 2 – Intangible Assets
On July 24, 2014, the Company executed a Collaboration & Exclusivity Agreement with Cannabics, Inc. (“Cannabics”), a Delaware corporation and largest shareholder of the Company. Per the terms of the Agreement, the Company has issued 18,239,594 shares of its common stock to acquire the entire institutional knowledge of Cannabics, Inc., which primarily consists of the human Brain Trust in its team of experts, the cumulative result of their years of scientific knowledge in the fields of Molecular Biology, Cancer and Pharmacology research.
Cannabics has executed an Exclusivity clause whereby from that day forth they shall carry on their research and development as part of, and for the exclusive benefit of the Company. Additionally Cannabics tendered $150,000 to the Company specifically earmarked as working funds towards prospective short-term projects of the Company.
The shares were valued at $0.25 per share based on an August 2014 Private Placement Memorandum (“PPM”) issued by the Company for 1,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.25 per share. The total value of the shares of $4,559,899 is reduced by the cash received from Cannabics of $150,000, for a net value of the intangible assets of $4,409,899.
Management has determined that the intangible assets have indefinite lives, and as such, are not amortized on a period basis. The value of the intangible assets will be tested for impairment of their value on an as needed basis, no less than annually. There was no impairment recorded for the three months ended November 30, 2014 and the year ended August 31, 2014.
Note 3 – Related Party Transactions
On June 24, 2013, the Company accepted a subscription for 40,000,000 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $0.0025 per share for total cash consideration of $100,000 from Ophion Management Ltd. (“Ophion”), a Canadian corporation controlled by Thomas Mills, who was at the time the controlling shareholder of the Company. On June 28, 2013, the subscription was rescinded by mutual consent and a promissory note for the principal amount of $100,000 (the “Promissory Note”) was issued by the Company to Ophion. The Promissory Note was due on demand and accrued simple interest at the rate of 20% per year from June 20, 2013. The Promissory Note was assigned to Mr. Mills on October 7, 2013.
On October 24, 2013, the Company entered into a debt restructuring agreement with Mr. Mills, whereby he agreed to surrender the Promissory Note for cancellation. In exchange for the Promissory Note, the Company agreed to issue a convertible promissory note with a fixed maturity date of December 31, 2013 (the “Convertible Note”). The Convertible Note, accrued simple interest at the rate of 20% per annum from June 20, 2013, and was convertible at any time by the holder of the Convertible Note into shares of the Company’s common stock at the rate of one share for each $0.0025 of indebtedness secured by the Convertible Note. On October 28, 2013, the Promissory Note was cancelled and the Convertible Note was issued.
On November 20, 2013, the Convertible Note was rescinded by agreement and a subscription by Mr. Mills for 40,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.0025 per share was accepted by the Company.
As of August 31, 2013, Mr. Mills had advanced $30,798 to the Company. During the year ended August 31, 2014, Mr. Mills advanced an additional $9,202 and was repaid $40,000, resulting in a balance of $-0- at August 31, 2014 and November 30, 2014.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
SPECIAL NOTE CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
We believe that it is important to communicate our future expectations to our security holders and to the public. This report, therefore, contains statements about future events and expectations which are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Sections 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including the statements about our plans, objectives, expectations and prospects under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” You can expect to identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “might,” “could,” “would,” ”will,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “expect,” “intend,” “seek” and other similar expressions. Any statement contained in this report that is not a statement of historical fact may be deemed to be a forward-looking statement. Although we believe that the plans, objectives, expectations and prospects reflected in or suggested by our forward-looking statements are reasonable, those statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, and we can give no assurance that our plans, objectives, expectations and prospects will be achieved.
Important factors that might cause our actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements are contained in the “Risk Factors” section of and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014 and in our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The following discussion of our results of operations should be read together with our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report.
Company Overview
Cannabics Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the "Company", “CNBX”, “we”, “us” or “our”) was incorporated in Nevada on September 15, 2004, under the name of Thrust Energy Corp. The Company was originally engaged in the exploration, exploitation, development and production of oil and gas projects within North America, but was unable to operate profitably.
In May 2011, the Company changed its name to American Mining Corporation, suspending its oil and gas operations and changing its business to toll milling and refining, mineral exploration and mine development.
On April 25, 2014, the Company experienced a change in control. Cannabics, Inc. (“Cannabics”) acquired a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company in accordance with stock purchase agreements by and between Cannabics and Thomas Mills (“Mills”). On the closing date, April 25, 2014, pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Cannabics purchased from Mills 20,500,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding restricted common stock for $198,000, representing 51%. The purchase price for the Mills Shares was held in escrow subject to a condition subsequent as to certain representations and warranties by Mr. Mills which were not satisfied by Mr. Mills until June 20, 2014, at which time Escrow was released.
Cannabics is a US based company founded in 2012 by a group of researchers from the fields of molecular biology, cancer research and pharmacology.
On May 21, 2014, the Company changed its name, via merger in the state of Nevada, to Cannabics Pharmaceuticals Inc. The Company’s principle offices are in Bethesda, Maryland. As of May 21, 2014, the Company has changed its course of business to laboratory research and development.
On June 3rd, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors declared a two-to-one forward stock split of all outstanding shares of common stock. The stock split was approved by FINRA on June 19th, 2014. The effect of the stock split increased the number of shares of common stock outstanding from 40,880,203 to 81,760,406. All common share and per common share data in these financial statements and related notes hereto have been retroactively adjusted to account for the effect of the stock split for all periods presented prior to June 3rd, 2014. The total number of authorized common shares and the par value thereof was not changed by the split.
On June 19th, 2014, FINRA granted final approval of Change of Name & Ticker Symbol of the Corporation from American Mining Corporation to CANNABICS PHARMACEUTICALS INC., with the new Ticker Symbol of “CNBX”. Said approval was predicated upon Cannabics Pharmaceuticals Inc.’s filing of Articles of Merger with American Mining Corporation with the Nevada Secretary of State on May 21st, 2014. Under the laws of the State of Nevada, Cannabics Pharmaceuticals Inc. was merged with and into the Registrant, with the Registrant being the surviving entity. The Merger was completed under Section 92A.180 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, Chapter 92A, as amended, and as such, does not require the approval of the stockholders of either the Registrant or Cannabics Pharmaceuticals Inc.
On July 24th, 2014, Cannabics Pharmaceuticals Inc. executed a Collaboration & Exclusivity Agreement with Cannabics, Inc., a Delaware Corporation and largest shareholder of the Company. Per the terms of the Agreement, the Company issued 18,239,594 Shares to acquire the entire institutional knowledge of Cannabics, Inc., which primarily consists of the human Brain Trust in its team of experts, the cumulative result of their years of scientific knowledge in the fields of Molecular Biology, Cancer and Pharmacology research.

Results of Operations
For the Three Months Ended November 30, 2014 and 2013
Revenues
We had no revenue for the three months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013.
Operating Expenses
For the three months ended November 30, 2014 our total operating expenses were $126,054 compared to $14,223 for the three months ended November 30, 2013 resulting in an increase of $111,831. The increase is attributable to increases in general and administrative expenses of $23,839; management salaries of $32,184; consulting fees of $11,500; legal fees of $19,945; sales and marketing expenses of $31,000; research and development expenses of $299; and depreciation of $368; offset by a decrease in professional fees of $7,304.

We incurred foreign exchange losses of $1,604 for the three months ended November 30, 2014 compared to foreign exchange gains of $883 for the three months ended November 30, 2013. As a result, net loss was $127,658 for the three months ended November 30, 2014 compared to $13,340 for the three months ended November 30, 2013.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
As of November 30, 2014, the Company had $65,618 in cash and working capital of $5,308. We do not have sufficient resources to effectuate our business. We expect to incur a minimum of $1,000,000 in expenses during the next twelve months of operations. We estimate that these expenses will be comprised primarily of general expenses including overhead, legal and accounting fees, research and development expenses, and fees payable to outside medical centers for clinical studies.
Liquidity and Capital Resources during the Three Months Ended November 30, 2014 compared to the Three Months ended November 30, 2013
We used cash in operations of $109,631 for the three months ended November 30, 2014 compared to cash used in operations of $41,402 for the three months ended November 30, 2013. The negative cash flow from operating activities for the three months ended November 30, 2014 is primarily attributable to the Company's net loss from operations of $127,658, offset by depreciation of $368, stock issued for services of $17,500, and by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $159. Cash used in operations for the three months ended November 30, 2013 is primarily attributable to the Company's net loss from operations of $13,340, and by the net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $28,062.
Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended November 30, 2014 was $3,710, consisting of the acquisition of equipment. We did not use any cash in investing activities during the three months ended November 30, 2013.
Cash generated in our financing activities was $78,333 consisting of the sale of common stock for the three months ended November 30, 2014, compared to no cash generated during the comparable period in 2013.
We will have to raise funds to pay for our expenses. We may have to borrow money from shareholders or issue debt or equity or enter into a strategic arrangement with a third party. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us. We currently have no arrangements or understandings with any person to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources. Since we have no such arrangements or plans currently in effect, our inability to raise funds for our operations will have a severe negative impact on our ability to remain a viable company.
Going Concern
Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the audited financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2014 regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.
Our unaudited financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time and raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern. Our unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amount and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
There is no assurance that our operations will be profitable. Our continued existence and plans for future growth depend on our ability to obtain the additional capital necessary to operate either through the generation of revenue or the issuance of additional debt or equity.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experiences and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors and circumstances. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances; however, actual results may differ from these estimates under different future conditions.
