Explanatory Note

Helius Medical Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this amendment on Form 10-Q/A (this “Amendment”) to amend its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as filed on August 14, 2015 (the “Original Filing”), to restate its interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as a result of the Company not previously re-measuring the fair value of stock options awarded to non-employees that had not yet vested. See Note 9 “Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements” to the Company’s restated interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

In connection with the Original Filing, under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, our management evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of June 30, 2015. Subsequently, the Company’s management has determined that the improper design of controls with respect to the calculation of the fair value of the Company’s share based compensation was a deficiency in its internal control over financial reporting resulting from the material weakness identified at June 30, 2015.

Except as required to reflect the effects of the corrections for the items above, no additional modifications or updates have been made to the Original Filing and are set forth in this Amendment. Information not affected by these corrections remains unchanged and reflects the disclosure made at the time of the Original Filing. This Amendment does not describe other events occurring after the Original Filing, including exhibits, or modify or update those disclosures affected by subsequent events. This Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Company’s filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing, as information in such reports and documents may update or supersede certain information contained in this Amendment.

The certifications of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are attached to this Amendment as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, and 32.1 respectively.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of Helius Medical Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“the SEC”) on June 29, 2015. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company at June 30, 2015, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2015. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. It should be understood that accounting measures at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year end. The results of operations for the three ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any future interim periods.

2.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Liquidity

The Company has incurred a net loss of $2,511,781 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and, as of June 30, 2015, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $21,935,232(March 31, 2015 - $19,423,451). Until the Company generates a level of revenue to support its cost structure, the Company expects to continue to incur substantial operating losses and net cash outflows. While the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $971,863 as of June 30, 2015 (March 31, 2015 - $418,893), management does not believe these resources will be sufficient to meet the Company’s operating and capital needs for the ensuing fiscal year.

The Company intends to fund ongoing activities by utilizing current cash and cash equivalents and by raising additional capital through equity or debt financings. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital or that such capital, if available, will be on terms that are acceptable to the Company. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional capital, the Company may be compelled to reduce the scope of its operations and planned capital expenditure or sell certain assets, including intellectual property assets. This material uncertainty gives rise to substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The book values of these instruments approximate their fair values due to the immediate or short-term nature of those instruments.

ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instruments categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value;

Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment are measured using Level 1 inputs.

7


The Company had certain Level 3 liabilities required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with US GAAP as at June 30, 2015. As at June 30, 2015, the Company’s Level 3 liabilities consisted of the grant of share Purchase options to non-employees. The resulting Level 3 liabilities have no active market and are required to be measured at their fair value each reporting period based on information that is unobservable.

A summary of the Company’s Level 3 liabilities for the periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are as follows:

    June 30, 2015     June 30, 2014  
  $    $  
             
Non-employee options (Note 5(a))            
             
Beginning fair value   1,581,444     -  
Issuance   -     -  
Reallocation of vested non-employee options   670,111     -  
Change in fair value   (405,472 )   -  
Ending fair value of Level 3 liability   1,846,083     -  

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03 Interest Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30). This guidance is to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs by recognizing debt issuance costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from that debt liability consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. The amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this new accounting pronouncement on its financial statements.

CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE

On February 19, 2014, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement where the Company agreed to sell and issue a note with annual simple interest at 8% (the Debenture). A total of $1,000,100 in principal had been received.

On June 13, 2014, the Debenture matured on the closing of the Company’s qualified financing. Upon completion of the qualified financing, the Debenture automatically converted into equity securities of the Company at a price per share equal to 85% of the price per share of the qualified financing. The conversion option of the Debenture was accounted for as a contingent beneficial conversion feature valued at $176,488 which was recorded as interest expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Loss on settlement of the contingency.

The weighted average grant date fair value of stock options vested during the period ended June 30, 2015 of CAD$0.54 was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: stock price CAD$1.06; exercise price CAD$1.14; expected risk-free interest rate 1.08%; expected life 4.1 years; expected volatility 67.85% and expected dividend rate 0%. The Company has adopted the simplified method prescribed by the SEC in SAB Topic 14 in respect of estimating the expected term of its stock options as its limited share purchase option history does not provide a reasonable basis to estimate the expected terms. Expected volatility was determined by reference to the average volatility rates of other companies in the same industry due to the Company’s limited trading history.

Non-Employee Stock Options

In accordance with the guidance of ASC 815-40-15, stock options awarded to non-employees that are performing services for the company are required to be accounted for as derivative liabilities once the services have been performed and the options have vested because they are considered not to be indexed to the Company’s stock due to their exercise price being denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency. Stock options awarded to non-employees that are not vested are accounted for as equity awards until the terms associated with their vesting requirements have been met.

The non-employee stock options are accounted for at their respective fair values and are summarized as follows for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014:

    June 30, 2015
(Restated Note 9)
    June 30, 2014
(Restated Note 9)
 
   $    $  
             
Fair value of non-employee options, beginning of the period   1,581,444     -  
Issuance   -     -  
Reallocation of vested non-employee options   670,111     -  
Change in fair value of non-employee stock options during the period   (405,472 )   -  
             
Fair value of non-employee options, end of the period   1,846,083     -  

The non-employee options are required to be re-valued with the change in fair value of the liability recorded as a gain or loss on the change of fair value of derivative liability and included in other items in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Loss at the end of each reporting period. The fair value of the options will continue to be classified as a liability until such time as they are exercised, expire or there is an amendment to the respective agreements that renders these financial instruments to be no longer classified as a liability.

Share-based payments are classified in the Company’s Statement of Loss as follows for the period ended June 30, 2015 and 2014:

    June 30, 2015
(Restated Note 9)
    June 30, 2014
(Restated Note 9)
 
   $   $  
             
Consulting fees   48,505     44,172  
Research and development   (15,750 )   147,398  
Wages and salaries   277,485     141,920  
             
    310,240     333,490  

The Company used the Black Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of the options as the fair value of the services provided could not be reliably calculated. The following assumptions were used:

          March 31, 2015     March 31, 2014  
Stock Price   CAD$     0.50 - 3.18     0.27  
Exercise Price   CAD$     0.60 - 3.20     0.0003  
Risk-free interest rate (%)         0.53 - 1.42     1.20 - 1.65  
Dividend yield (%)         0.00     0.00  
Expected volatility (%)         67.85     97.73 - 116.82  
Expected option life (years)         3.00 - 5.00     4.33 - 5.00  

11


The Black Scholes option pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of share options that have no vesting provisions and are fully transferable. Also, option-pricing models require the use of estimates and assumptions including the expected volatility. The Company uses expected volatility rates which are based upon the average volatility rates of other companies in the same industry, due to the Company’s limited history. The Company based the current stock price on the value per shares issued to date. Changes in the underlying assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates.

Share Purchase Warrants

The Company closed its First Financing at $2.15 per First Financing Unit of 849,273 First Financing Units raising $1,825,937 on April 30, 2015. Each First Financing Unit consists of one common stock of the Company and one half of a First Financing Warrant of the Company where one full First Financing Warrant is exercisable for 3 years at $3.00 into one common share. The Company also issued 27,396 First Financing Finders Warrants. Each First Financing Finders Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one additional common share of the Company at a price of $3.00 per share for a period of thirty-six (36) months from the closing date of the First Financing.

The Company closed its Second Financing at $2.15 per Second Financing Unit of 335,463 Second Financing Units raising $721,243 on June 26, 2015. Each Second Financing Units consists of one common stock of the Company and one half of a Second Financing Warrant of the Company where one full Second Financing Warrant is exercisable for 3 years at $3.00 into one common share. The Company also issued 18,978 Second Financing Finders Warrants. Each Second Financing Finders Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one additional common share of the Company at a price of $2.15 per share for a period of sixty (60) months from the closing date of the Second Financing.

The continuity of warrants for the three months ended June 30, 2015 is as follows:

    Number of warrants           Weighted Average Exercise Price  
    CAD     US     CAD $     US $  
Balance, March 31, 2015   8,444,400     -   $  1.00     -

RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

13


The Company’s previously issued financial statements have been restated to reflect the correction of an error in the re-measurement of non-employee stock option awards that had yet to vest.

Previously, the Company had recorded the stock-based compensation for the period ended June 30, 2015 based on the fair value of the awards on their respective grant dates. Under the provisions of ASC 505-50, the Company is required to measure stock-based compensation for non-employees at the earlier of the performance commitment date or the date that the services have been completed. A performance commitment date exists only when the counterparty has sufficient disincentive not to complete. Otherwise, the Company is required to re-measure unvested non-employee options at their respective fair values until the services have been completed or once the options have vested. Under the terms of the Company’s stock option awards to non-employees, there were no performance disincentives. As a result the Company is required to re-measure its non-employee awards until they have vested.

The correction of the error is presented in the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2015 as follows:

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2014

Revenues

During the three months ended June, 2015 and 2014, we did not generate any revenues.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2015 were $2,835,775 as compared to $1,383,829 during the three months ended June 30, 2014. Significant changes and expenditures are outlined as follows:

 

Advertising, marketing, and IR expenses were $308,213 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, and $46,226 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase relates to advertising and promotion expenses and investor relation consulting fees. We have engaged both investor relations and public relations professionals in Canada and the US to help develop corporate material as well as arranging and participating in conferences and road shows to increase the public's awareness of our activities and the PoNS™ device.

   

 

Audit and accounting fees were $80,462 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, and $10,645 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase of $69,817 was mainly due to the requirement to review and audit the Company’s financial statements since it became a reporting issuer.

   

 

Consulting fees were $105,987 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and $51,323 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase of $54,664 was mainly due to the timing of the recognition of stock-based compensation.

   

 

Insurance expenses were $29,539 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, and $7,486 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase of $22,053 was mainly due to the need for general liability, directors’ and officers’, and product insurance as the Company continues its research and development plans.

   

 

Legal fees were $293,736 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $219,934 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase of $73,802 was primarily composed of fees incurred for general corporate matters. In addition, our legal activity to ensure current and quality regulatory filings has increased significantly since becoming a public company in Canada. Furthermore, the engagement of various specialized legal counsels for the development of our intellectual properties and the commercialization of the PoNS™ device is carried out to secure our intellectual property, including the issuance of two patents.

   

 

Meals and travel expenses were $95,867 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $29,441 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase of $66,426 was primarily due to travel to and from various investor and medical conferences as well as required travel for personnel to coordinate the clinical trials.

16



 

Office expenses were $26,039 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $21,424 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase of $4,615 was mainly due to general and administrative expenses but also includes computer and internet expenses, telephone expenses, and rent expenses. These expenses increased significantly as we ramped up our operations.

   

 

Professional fees were $nil for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $13,125 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Corporate communications and industry research fees incurred in the three months ended June 30, 2014, were not required again.

   

 

Research and development expenses were $1,370,926 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $750,354 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase was primarily due to the continuous efforts on research and development activities of the PoNS™ device, especially activities relating to preparation of clinical trials which mostly includes our commercial development-to-supply program with Ximedica, LLC (“Ximedica”), a contract manufacturer, and the NeuroFeedback's 12- month pilot clinical trial. The increase also included expenses associated with the granting of options to two directors and one advisor for services rendered as non-employee consultants relating to design and manufacturing of the PoNS™ device.

   

 

Transfer agent and regulatory fees were $32,579 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $15,260 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase of $17,319 stems from the Company’s requirement as a public company to retain a transfer agent, as well as the associated filing fees.

   

 

Wages and salaries expenses were $492,427 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $218,611 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase of $273,816 was mainly due to the expense during the three months ended June 30, 2015, associated with the granting of options to employees.

Non-Operating Items

We recorded a gain of $323,994 in respect of non-operating items during the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to a loss of $180,124 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Significant changes are outlined as follows:

Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $nil as compared to $2,810 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease stems from the cashing and closing of a number of interest- bearing short-term investment accounts with our banking institutions.

   

Accreted interest expenses were $nil for the three months ended June 30, 2015, and $176,488 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease relates to the convertible debenture which was converted and settled in fiscal 2015. As such, no amounts were charge during fiscal 2016.

   

Change in fair value of derivative liability for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $405,472 as compared to $nil for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The change in fair value of derivative liability is based on the change of the remaining term of our options granted to non-employees providing services for NHC and the change in our stock price. The derivative liabilities do not represent cash liabilities.

   

Foreign exchange losses for the three months ended June 30, 2015 were $81,425 as compared to losses of $6,446 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The losses stem from our Canadian dollar holdings as well as translating the balance of the Canadian dollar intercompany to the reporting currency.

Net Loss

The net loss was $2,511,781 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and $563,593 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in net loss of $947,828 resulted primarily from an increase in most operating expenses, especially advertising, marketing and IR, insurance expenses, legal fees, research and development, wages and salaries and expenses associated with the granting of options to two directors and one advisor for services rendered as non-employee consultants.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, does not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation.

The following table sets out our cash and working capital as of June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015:

    June 30, 2015     March 31, 2015  
Cash and cash equivalents $  971,863   $  418,893  
Working capital (deficit) $  (153,160 ) $  18,543  

As of June 30, 2015, our current assets were $1,430,339 (March 31, 2015 - $1,216,347), which increased mostly due to the closing of multiple private placements during the three months ended June 30, 2015. Current liabilities were $1,583,499 (March 31, 2015 - $1,197,804), which increased due to an increase in our operations since the closing of a private placement and our acquisition of NHC. Working capital was $(153,160) (March 31, 2015 – $18,543). Our current assets as of June 30, 2015 consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $971,863 (March 31, 2015 - $418,893), which increased mostly due to the closing of multiple private placements, short-term investment of $nil (March 31, 2015 - $378,000), which decreased as a result of cashing and closing certain term deposits with our banking institution, receivables of $24,231 (March 31, 2015 - $8,833), which increased due to the larger amount of refundable Canadian commodity tax based on the Company’s increase in Canadian operations, and prepaid expenses of $434,245 (March 31, 2015 - $410,621), which mostly include a prepayment to Ximedica and insurance expenses. Our current liabilities as of June 30, 2015 consisted of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1,583,499 (March 31, 2015 - $1,197,804), which increased due to our increased operations.

As a result of our increased activity, the accumulated deficit increased from $19,423,451 as at March 31, 2015 to $21,935,232 as at June 30, 2015.

We currently have limited working capital and liquid assets. Our cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2015 were $971,863. To date we have not generated any revenue from the sales of products or services. There are a number of conditions that we must satisfy before we will be able to generate revenue, including but not limited to successful completion of the design of the PoNS™ device, FDA clearance of the PoNS™ device for treating balance disorder associated with mild to moderate TBI and MS, manufacturing of a commercially-viable version of the PoNS™ device and demonstration of effectiveness sufficient to generate commercial orders by customers for our product. While we are currently seeking additional funding, we do not currently have sufficient resources to accomplish any of these conditions necessary for us to generate revenue. We will therefore require substantial additional funds in order to continue to conduct the research and development and regulatory clearance and approval activities necessary to bring our product to market, to establish effective marketing and sales capabilities and to develop other product candidates.

We will have to continue to rely on equity and debt financing. There can be no assurance that financing, whether debt or equity, will always be available to us in the amount required at any particular time or for any particular period or, if available, that it can be obtained on terms satisfactory to us. Without additional financing, we do not believe our resources will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital needs through the third quarter of 2015.

Statement of Cash Flows

Quarter ended June 30, 2015 compared to quarter ended June 30, 2014

During the quarter ended June 30, 2015, our net cash increased by $552,970 (June 30, 2014 - $7,014,291), which included net cash used in operating activities of $2,146,000 (June 30, 2014 - $540,868) stemming from our increase in operations, net cash provided by investing activities of $378,000 (June 30, 2014 - $173,904) stemming from the closing of a number of short-term investment accounts and net cash provided by financing activities of $2,394,684 (June 30, 2014 - $7,240,597) stemming mainly from the closing of multiple private placements.

Cash Used in Operating Activities

Operating activities in the three months ended June 30, 2015 used cash of $2,146,000 (June 30, 2014 - $540,868). This was made up of a net loss of $2,511,781 (June 30, 2014 - $1,563,953) less adjustments for non-cash items such as accretion of beneficial conversion feature of $nil (June 30, 2014 – $176,488), change in fair value of derivative liability of ($405,472) (June 30, 2014 – $nil), stock based compensation of $310,240 (June 30, 2014 - $333,490), receivables of ($15,264) (June 30, 2014 - $nil), accounts payable of $382,844 (June 30, 2014 – $622,002), prepaid expenses of ($22,205) (June 30, 2014 – $108,895) and foreign exchange on re-measurement of $115,638 (June 30, 2014 - $Nil). Receivables increased due to the higher amount of refundable Canadian commodity tax. Payables and prepaid expenses increased due to our increase in operations.

Cash Provided by Investing Activities

During the three months ended June 30, 2015, cash provided by investing activities totaled $378,000 (June 30, 2014 - $173,904). This was made up of the closing of a number of interest-bearing short-term investment accounts held. The previous period’s activities included cash acquired from the recapitalization of $23,904 and proceeds from a bridge financing of $150,000.

Cash Provided by Financing Activities

During the three months ended June 30, 2015, financing activities provided cash of $2,394,684(June 30, 2014 - $7,240,597). Financing activities during the three month period ended June 30, 2015, consisted of: issuance of share capital of $2,519,561(June 30, 2014 - $6,607,402) stemming from multiple private placements, share issue costs of $124,877 (June 30, 2014 - $Nil) and proceeds from the debenture of $nil (June 30, 2014 - $633,195).

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

To the best of management’s knowledge, there are no off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03 Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30). This guidance is to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs by recognizing debt issuance costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from that debt liability consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. The amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this new accounting pronouncement on its financial statements.

Subsequent Events

On July 17, 2015, we closed a private placement to four accredited investors, which included two institutions and two individuals, consisting of an aggregate of 125,756 units at a price of $2.15 per unit for gross proceeds of $270,375. Each unit issued in the private placement consisted of one share of our common stock and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional share of our common stock at a purchase price of $3.00 for a period of thirty-six months. We relied on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) thereunder for the private placements. In connection with the July 17, 2015 private placement, we issued 7,545 warrants to an institutional accredited investor that served as finder for the private placement. The finder’s warrants permit the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $2.15 per share for a period of sixty months. We relied on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for the issuance of the finder’s warrant.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This preparation requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. U.S. GAAP provides the framework from which to make these estimates, assumption and disclosures. We choose accounting policies within U.S. GAAP that management believes are appropriate to accurately and fairly report our operating results and financial position in a consistent manner. Management regularly assesses these policies in light of current and forecasted economic conditions. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management. While there are a number of significant accounting policies affecting our financial statements, we believe the critical accounting policies involving the most complex, difficult and subjective estimates and judgments are: valuation of non-monetary transactions, stock compensation for services, valuation of options and valuation of income taxes.

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for all of our stock-based payments and awards under the fair value based method. We recognize our stock-based compensation using the accelerated attribution method.

Stock-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of the consideration received, or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, or liabilities incurred, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value of stock-based payments to non-employees is periodically re-measured until the counterparty performance is complete, and any change therein is recognized over the vesting period of the award and in the same manner as if we had paid cash instead of paying with or using equity based instruments. The fair value of the stock-based payments to non-employees that is fully vested and non-forfeitable as at the grant date is measured and recognized at that date.

We account for the granting of share purchase options to employees using the fair value method whereby all awards to employees will be recorded at fair value on the date of the grant. The fair value of all share purchase options are expensed over their vesting period with a corresponding increase to additional capital surplus. Upon exercise of share purchase options, the consideration paid by the option holder, together with the amount previously recognized in additional paid-in capital is recorded as an increase to share capital. Share purchase options granted to employees are accounted for as liabilities when they contain conditions or other features that are indexed to other than a market, performance or service condition.

We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of our share purchase options. Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.

Derivative Liabilities

We evaluate our financial instruments and other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with ASC 815. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability and the change in fair value is recorded in the consolidated statements of loss. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity.

20


The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instruments that become subject to reclassification are reclassified at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

We use the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value derivative liabilities. This model uses Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820 Fair Value Measurement.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Financial Instruments and Other Risks

We are exposed to credit risks and market risks related to changes to interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, each of which could affect the value of our current assets and liabilities. We invest our cash equivalents in fixed rate, highly liquid and highly rated financial instruments such as guaranteed investment contracts, or GICs. At June 30, 2015, our cash and cash equivalents were held as GICs, the majority of which were denominated in U.S. dollars. We do not believe that the results of operations or cash flows would be affected to any significant degree by a sudden change in market interest rates relative to our investment portfolio, due to the relative short-term nature of the investments. We have not entered into any forward currency contracts or other financial derivatives to hedge foreign exchange risk. We are subject to foreign exchange rate fluctuations that could have a material effect on our total net assets or net loss. We are exposed to interest rate cash flow risk on our cash and cash equivalents as these instruments bear interest on current market rates

Item 4.   Controls And Procedures

In connection with the Original Filing, under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, our management evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of June 30, 2015. Subsequently, the Company’s management has determined that the improper design of controls with respect to the calculation of the fair value of the Company’s share based compensation was a deficiency in its internal control over financial reporting resulting from the material weakness identified at June 30, 2015. As a result, we did not maintain effective controls over the accounting with respect to re-measurement of the fair value of the Company’s stock options awarded to non-employees that had not yet vested, which led us to restate our interim condensed consolidated financial statements. As of the date of this filing, we are still in the process of remediating the material weaknesses that caused our disclosure controls and procedures to not be effective.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In connection with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2015, our management determined that our accounting staff does not have sufficient technical accounting knowledge relating to accounting for income taxes and complex U.S. GAAP matters, which our management determined has caused our disclosure controls and procedures to be ineffective.

We intend to take appropriate and reasonable steps to make the necessary improvements to our accounting staff to remediate the material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures as resources to do so become available. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings  

On January 27, 2015 we received a demand letter containing allegations that we had entered into a consulting arrangement with the complainants and breached certain of its terms, and used certain intellectual property in the form of business and marketing plans allegedly prepared by the complainants, and seeking damages. On May 7, 2015, Mr. Rainier Maas and Dr. Jochen Scheld filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania seeking monetary damages in excess of $225,000. We intend to conduct a vigorous defense of this matter. At this point management is unable to determine the outcome of this matter.

Except as described above, we are not aware of any legal proceedings contemplated by any governmental authority or any other party involving us or our properties. As of August 14, 2015, no director, officer or affiliate is (i) a party adverse to us in any legal proceeding, or (ii) has an adverse interest to us in any legal proceedings. We are not aware of any other legal proceedings pending or that have been threatened against us or our properties.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2015, as amended. You should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2015, as amended, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. The risks described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2015, as amended, are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

On April 30, 2015, we closed a private placement to 12 accredited investors, which included one institution and 11 individuals, consisting of an aggregate of 849,273 units at a price of $2.15 per unit for gross proceeds of approximately $1,825,937. Each unit consisted of one share of our common stock and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional share of our common stock at a price of $3.00 per share until April 30, 2018. We relied on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) thereunder for the private placement. In connection with the private placement, we issued 27,396 warrants to one institutional accredited investor that served as a finder for the private placement. The finder’s warrant permits the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $3.00 per share until April 30, 2018. We relied on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for the issuance of the finder’s warrant.

On June 26, 2015, we closed a private placement to seven accredited investors, which included one institution and six individuals, consisting of an aggregate of 335,463 units at a price of $2.15 per unit for gross proceeds of $721,243. Each unit issued in the private placements consisted of one share of our common stock and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional share of our common stock at a purchase price of $3.00 for a period of thirty-six months. We relied on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) thereunder for the private placements. In connection with the June 26, 2015 private placement, we issued 18,978 warrants to an institutional accredited investor that served as finder for the private placement. The finder’s warrants permit the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $2.15 per share for a period of sixty months. We relied on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for the issuance of the finder’s warrant.
