Nature of operations and liquidity risk

Nature of operations

DelMar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation formed on June 24, 2009 under the name Berry Only, Inc. Prior to a reverse acquisition undertaken on January 25, 2013 Berry did not have any significant assets or operations. The Company is the parent company of Del Mar Pharmaceuticals (BC) Ltd. (“DelMar (BC)”), a British Columbia, Canada corporation incorporated on April 6, 2010, which is an early stage company with a focus on the development of drugs for the treatment of cancer. The Company is also the parent company of 0959454 B.C. Ltd., a British Columbia corporation (“Callco”), and 0959456 B.C. Ltd., a British Columbia corporation (“Exchangeco”). Callco and Exchangeco were formed to facilitate the reverse acquisition.

Pursuant to the reverse acquisition, the Company acquired (either directly or indirectly (through Exchangeco)) all of the issued and outstanding shares of DelMar (BC) on January 25, 2013. As a result of the shareholders of DelMar (BC) owning a controlling interest in the Company subsequent to the reverse acquisition, for accounting purposes the transaction is a capital transaction with DelMar (BC) being the accounting acquirer even though the legal acquirer is Berry. Therefore, the historic financial statements of DelMar (BC) are presented as the comparative balances for the periods prior to the reverse acquisition.

References to the Company, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, DelMar (BC), Callco and Exchangeco. References to Berry relate to the Company prior to the reverse acquisition.

The Company is focused on the discovery and development of new medicines with the potential to treat cancer patients who have failed modern targeted or biologic therapy. The Company has initiated a clinical trial with its drug candidate VAL-083 for the treatment of refractory glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”). The Phase I/II study is an open-label, single arm dose-escalation study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and anti-tumor activity of VAL-083 in patients with histologically confirmed initial diagnosis of primary WHO Grade IV malignant glioma, now recurrent. Patients with prior low-grade glioma or anaplastic glioma are eligible to participate in the study, if histologic assessment of their condition demonstrates transformation to GBM.

The address of the Company’s administrative offices is Suite 720 - 999 West Broadway, Vancouver, British Columbia, V5Z 1K5 with clinical operations located at 3485 Edison Way, Suite R, Menlo Park, California, 94025.

Liquidity risk

For the six-month period ended December 31, 2014, the Company reported a loss of $2,399,120 and an accumulated deficit of $21,064,623 at that date. As at December 31, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents on hand of $3,958,439. The Company does not have the prospect of achieving revenues in the near future and the Company will require additional funding to maintain its research and development projects and for general operations. There is a great degree of uncertainty with respect to the expenses the Company will incur in executing its business plan. In addition, the Company has not begun to commercialize or generate revenues from any product candidate.

Consequently, management is pursuing various financing alternatives to fund the Company’s operations so it can continue as a going concern (note 5) in the medium to longer term. During the six months ended December 31, 2014 the Company received an aggregate $1,266,177 in net proceeds from the exercise of 1,986,074 warrants. We believe, based on our current estimates, that we will be able to fund our operations until at least the end of first quarter of calendar 2016.

There is no assurance that our cost estimates will prove to be accurate or that unforeseen events, problems or delays will not occur that would require us to seek additional debt and/or equity funding. The ability of the Company to meet its obligations and continue the research and development of its product candidate is dependent on its ability to continue to raise adequate financing. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available to the Company in the amount required at any time or for any period or, if available, that it can be obtained on terms satisfactory to the Company. The Company may tailor its drug candidate program based on the amount of funding the Company raises.

Significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation

The consolidated condensed interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and are presented in United States dollars. The Company’s functional currency is the United States dollar.

In the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company’s functional currency changed from Canadian dollars to United States dollars as a result of various objective factors. Therefore translation of goods and services in a foreign currency are re-measured to the functional currency of the Company with gains and losses on re-measurement recorded in the consolidated condensed interim statement of loss. Any gains and losses that were previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income are unchanged from the date of the change of functional currency which was January 1, 2013.

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

December 31, 2014

(expressed in US dollars unless otherwise noted)

The accompanying consolidated condensed interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, DelMar BC, Callco, and Exchangeco. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below and have been consistently applied to all periods presented.

Unaudited interim financial data

The accompanying unaudited December 31, 2014 consolidated condensed interim balance sheet, the consolidated condensed interim statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, and consolidated condensed cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related interim information contained within the notes to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and the notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These consolidated condensed interim financial statements should read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company as at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 filed in our Form 10-KT filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 28, 2014. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated condensed interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position at December 31, 2014 and results of its operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, and its cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. The results for three and six months ended December 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2015 or for any other future annual or interim period.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated condensed interim financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses, contingent assets and contingent liabilities as at the end or during the reporting period. Actual results could significantly differ from those estimates. Significant areas requiring management to make estimates include the derivative liability and the valuation of equity instruments, including stock options, issued for services. We have updated our estimates and models for the issuance of any new awards issued during the period.

Loss per share

Loss per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. For the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2014 and for the three months ended December 31, 2013 diluted loss per share does not differ from basic loss per share since the effect of the Company’s warrants and stock options are anti-dilutive. At December 31, 2014, potential common shares of 15,409,745 (December 31, 2013 – 24,864,009) relating to warrants and 3,415,000 (December 31, 2013 – 3,240,000) relating to stock options were excluded from the calculation of net loss per common share because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

December 31, 2014

(expressed in US dollars unless otherwise noted)

For the six months ended December 31, 2013 diluted income per share has also been presented. Diluted income per share is calculated using the treasury stock method which uses the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period and also includes the dilutive effect of potentially issuable common shares from outstanding stock options and warrants.

Recent accounting pronouncements

The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. The accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to the date of these financial statements that were considered significant by management were evaluated for the potential effect on these financial statements. Management does not believe any of the subsequent pronouncements will have a material effect on these financial statements as presented and does not anticipate the need for any future restatement of these financial statements because of the retro-active application of any accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to December 31, 2014 through the date these financial statements were issued.

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15 - Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The objective of the guidance is to require management to explicitly assess an entity's ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. In connection with each annual and interim period, management will assess if there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the issuance date of an entity’s financial statements. The new standard defines substantial doubt and provides examples of indicators thereof. The definition of substantial doubt incorporates a likelihood threshold of "probable" similar to the current use of that term in U.S. GAAP for loss contingencies. The new standard will be effective for all entities in the first annual period ending after December 15, 2016 (December 31, 2016 for calendar year-end entities). Earlier application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing this standard for its impact on future reporting periods.

Valent Technologies LLC agreement

On September 30, 2014, the Company entered into an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Valent Technologies, LLC (“Valent”), an entity owned by Dr. Dennis Brown, the Company’s Chief Scientific Officer and director, and DelMar (BC). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Valent exchanged its loan payable in the outstanding amount of $278,530 (including aggregate accrued interest to September 30, 2014 of $28,530), issued to Valent by DelMar (BC), for 278,530 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock.

Effective September 30, 2014, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of Nevada. Pursuant to the Series A Certificate of Designation, the Company designated 278,530 shares of preferred stock as Series A Preferred Stock. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock have a stated value of $1.00 per share and are not convertible into common stock. The holder of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to dividends at the rate of 3% of the Stated Value per year, payable quarterly in arrears. Upon any liquidation of the Company, the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to be paid, out of any assets of the Company available for distribution to stockholders, the Stated Value of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon, prior to any payments being made with respect to the common stock.

Investor Warrants

Tender offer – Investor Warrant exercise price reduction

On June 9, 2014, as amended on June 26, 2014, July 10, 2014, and July 29, 2014, the Company filed a tender offer statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to certain warrants to purchase common stock of the Company issued to investors (the “Investor Warrants”) to provide the holders thereof with the opportunity to amend and exercise their warrants, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Company’s tender offer statement. Pursuant to the tender offer, the Company offered to amend Investor Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 9,195,478 shares of common stock (the “Offer to Amend and Exercise”). There was no minimum participation requirement with respect to the Offer to Amend and Exercise.

Pursuant to the Offer to Amend and Exercise, the Investor Warrants subject to the tender offer were amended (the “Amended Warrants”) to: (i) reduce the exercise price of the Investor Warrants from $0.80 per share to $0.65 per share of common stock in cash, (ii) shorten the exercise period of the Investor Warrants so that they expire concurrently with the expiration of the Offer to Amend and Exercise at 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on August 8, 2014, as may be extended by the Company in its sole discretion (“Expiration Date”), (iii) delete the price-based anti-dilution provisions contained in the Investor Warrants, (iv) restrict the ability of the holder of shares issuable upon exercise of the Amended Warrants to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any of such shares without the prior written consent of the Company for a period of time twenty (20) days after the Expiration Date (the “ Lock-Up Period ”); and (v) provide that a holder, acting alone or with others, will agree not to effect any purchases or sales of any securities of the Company in any “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, or any type of direct and indirect stock pledges, forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, short sales, swaps, “put equivalent positions” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act) or similar arrangements, or sales or other transactions through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers through the expiration of the Lock-Up Period.

Upon the expiration of the Offer to Amend and Exercise on August 8, 2014, 762,227 Amended Warrants were exercised for net proceeds of $470,676 after payment by the Company of a 5% warrant agent fee of $24,772.

In addition, during the six months ended December 31, 2014, 1,223,847 Investor Warrants were exercised at $0.65 per warrant for 1,223,847 shares of common stock. The Company received proceeds of $795,501 from these exercises.

The Company recognized a loss of $92,843 at the time of the exchange.

The remaining 5,964,738 Investor Warrants outstanding at December 31 , 2014 have been re-valued at December 31, 2014 using a simulated probability valuation model using the following assumptions: dividend rate - 0%, volatility - 73%, risk free rate – 1.34% and a term of approximately 3.0 years.

All 5,964,738 Investor Warrants outstanding at December 31, 2014 have an exercise price of $0.80.

Dividend Warrants

In connection with the reverse acquisition, effective January 24, 2013, the Company effected a warrant dividend (the “Warrant Dividend”) pursuant to which the Company issued one five-year warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 for each outstanding share of common stock (the “Dividend Warrants”). Pursuant to the Warrant Dividend, the Company issued an aggregate of 3,250,007 Dividend Warrants.

On October 31, 2014, the Company and all of its Dividend Warrant holders entered into amendments to the Dividend Warrants such that the Company’s redemption rights and certain provisions of the Dividend Warrant agreements relating to potential cash settlement of the Dividend Warrants were removed. The Dividend Warrants were revalued to the date of the amendment on October 31, 2014 which resulted in a reclassification to equity of $975,278.

Warrants issued for services

The Company has issued 300,000 warrants for services. The warrants were issued on September 12, 2013 and are exercisable on a cashless basis at an exercise price of $1.76 for five years. The warrants have been measured at December 31, 2014 using a simulated probability valuation model using the following assumptions: dividend rate - 0%, volatility - 74%, risk free rate – 1.49% and a term of approximately 3.5 years.

Financial instruments

The Company has financial instruments that are measured at fair value. To determine the fair value, we use the fair value hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use to value an asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs based on assumptions about the factors market participants would use to value an asset or liability. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level one - inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level two - inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals; and

Level three - unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.

Assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain securities within the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, accounts payable, related party payables and derivative liability. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, accounts payable and related party payables approximate their fair values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

As quoted prices for the derivative liability are not readily available, the Company has used a simulated probability valuation model, as described in note 2 to estimate fair value. The derivative liability utilizes Level 3 inputs as defined above.

Subsequent events

Tender offer warrant exchange

On January 8, 2015 (note 5) , the Company filed a tender offer statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and on January 23, 2015, the Company filed an amendment thereto , with respect to certain Investor Warrants to purchase common stock of the Company. The tender offer provided the holders of the Investor Warrants with the opportunity to receive one share of common stock for every three Investor Warrants that are tendered. The tender offer was available to all 5,964,738 Investor Warrants outstanding at December 31, 2014. If all outstanding Investor Warrants were tendered, the Company would have issued 1,988,246 shares of common stock. To participate in the tender offer the Investor Warrant holders were required to deliver completed exchange documents to the Company, prior to the expiration of the tender offer, which was 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on February 9, 2015.

The tender offer expired on February 9, 2015. A total of 1,591,875 Investor Warrants were exchanged for 530,625 shares of common stock resulting in a net increase in stockholder’s equity of approximately $400,957.

Summary

DelMar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) is developing a new drug candidate targeting orphan cancer indications. We aim to develop products that will have a high impact in patient care and a high return for our investors. In order to accelerate our development timelines and reduce technical risk, we leverage existing clinical and commercial data from a wide range of sources.

Recent Highlights

During the most recent quarter, we announced important new data demonstrating progress on our drug development programs:

In October we presented new non-clinical research supporting the potential utility of VAL-083 in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”) at the American Association for Cancer Research’s (“AACR”) New Horizons in Cancer Research.

In November, we presented an update on our ongoing Phase I/II clinical trial with VAL-083 as a potential new therapy for refractory glioblastoma at the Society for NeuroOncology (“SNO”) Annual meeting. At SNO, we also presented new non-clinical data supporting the favorable differentiation of VAL-083 versus the standard-of-care in the treatment of glioblastoma.

We participated in the second Brain Tumor Clinical Trial Endpoints Workshop held on October 14, 2014 in Bethesda, MD. The workshops, which are sponsored by the National Brain Tumor Society, bring together private industry, leading clinicians, and key members of the US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) staff and leaders of the National Cancer Institutes (“NCI”) to discuss clinical trial design and strategies for accelerating approval of promising brain tumor therapies.

Table of Contents

On December 2, 2014 our common stock was approved to begin trading on the OTCQX. We believe that having our stock quoted on the OTCQX is an important step forward to building liquidity for our shareholders as part of our overall mission to deliver long-term shareholder value.

On January 12, 2015 we announced the achievement of an important milestone in our ongoing Phase I/II clinical trial with VAL-083 as a potential new therapy for the treatment of refractory glioblastoma. Specifically, we reported the first observation of a dose limiting toxicity (“DLT”), which signals the near-term completion of dose-escalation and identification of a maximum tolerated dose (“MTD”) for advancement to registration-directed clinical trials in glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”).

On January 13, 2015, we announced that we have received a notice of allowance for another United States patent covering VAL-083. At December 31, 2014 we have filed a total of ten patent applications which are being prosecuted in the United States and in international jurisdictions. To date, three US patents and one international patent have been allowed.

On December 31, 2014, we issued an aggregate 414,889 shares of common stock in exchange for the surrender of Investor Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,244,666 shares of common stock. Subsequently, we consummated a Warrant Exchange Tender Offer providing the opportunity for holders of Investor Warrants to receive one share of common stock for every three Investor Warrants held. The Warrant Exchange Tender Offer is part of the Company's strategy to build sufficient stockholders equity in partial fulfillment of the requirements to list our common stock to a national securities exchange such as the NASDAQ Capital Market or NYSE MKT. The tender offer expired on February 9, 2015. A total of 1,591,875 Investor Warrants were exchanged for 530,625 shares of common stock resulting in a net increase in stockholder’s equity of approximately $400,957.

As part of our strategy to list our common stock on a national securities exchange in the timeliest manner possible, we also:

Received net proceeds of $1,266,177 from the exercise of Investor Warrants at $0.65 per warrant during the six months December 31, 2014. The exercise of these warrants, including through a tender offer, has provided us with additional non-dilutive capital sufficient to fund our current operations through at least the end of March 2016.

Entered into amendments to warrants issued as a dividend to stockholders on January 24, 2013 (the “Dividend Warrants”) such that all of the Dividend Warrants were reclassified to equity on October 31, 2014.

Changed our fiscal year end to June 30 from December 31.

Overview

We are a Nevada corporation formed on June 24, 2009 under the name Berry Only, Inc. Prior to a reverse acquisition undertaken on January 25, 2013 Berry did not have any significant assets or operations. DelMar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) is the parent company of Del Mar Pharmaceuticals (BC) Ltd. (“DelMar (BC)”), a British Columbia, Canada corporation incorporated on April 6, 2010, that is focused on the development of drugs for the treatment of cancer. The Company is also the parent company to 0959454 B.C. Ltd., a British Columbia corporation (“Callco”), and 0959456 B.C. Ltd., a British Columbia corporation (“Exchangeco”). Callco and Exchangeco were formed to facilitate the reverse acquisition.

Table of Contents

Our drug discovery research and development focuses on identifying well-validated clinical and commercial-stage compounds and establishing a scientific rationale for development in modern orphan cancer indications. We conduct further research on promising candidates through our network of consultants and contract research organizations. This approach allows us to identify and advance potential drug candidates without significant investment in “wet lab” infrastructure. Based on this strategy, we acquired intellectual property and prototype drug product related to our drug candidate, VAL-083, from Valent Technologies LLC (“Valent”) in September 2010 and initiated new clinical trials in 2011.

VAL-083

Our product candidate, VAL-083, represents a “first in class” small-molecule chemotherapeutic, which means that the molecular structure of VAL-083 is not an analogue or derivative of other small molecule chemotherapeutics approved for the treatment of cancer. VAL-083, which was originally discovered in the 1960’s, has been assessed in multiple clinical studies sponsored by the NCI in the United States as a treatment for various cancers including lung, brain, cervical, ovarian tumors and leukemia. Published pre-clinical and clinical data suggest that VAL-083 may be active against a range of tumor types. VAL-083 is approved as a cancer chemotherapeutic in China for the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia (“CML”) and lung cancer. VAL-083 has not been approved for any indications outside of China.

Upon obtaining regulatory approval, we intend to commercialize VAL-083 for the treatment of orphan cancer indications where patients have failed other therapies or have limited medical options. An orphan disease is defined in the United States under the Rare Disease Act of 2002 as “any disease or condition that affects less than 200,000 persons in the United States”. The Orphan Drug Act of 1983 is a federal law that provides financial and other incentives including a period of market exclusivity to encourage the development of new treatments for orphan diseases.

We research the mechanism of action of our product candidate to determine the clinical indications best suited for therapy and attempt to rapidly advance our product candidate into human clinical trials and toward commercialization.

Central Nervous System Cancers

In October 2011, we initiated clinical trials with VAL-083 as a potential new treatment for GBM, the most common and aggressive form of brain cancer. In August 2013, we received a notice of allowance from the FDA enabling the Company to implement a more rapid dose-escalation scheme in our GBM study. The revised dosing regimen was allowed by the FDA following an extensive safety review of patients treated prior to that date. In comparison to the original dose-escalation scheme, the revised plan will enable the trial to reach higher doses and skip two interim doses.

We have presented interim data from our GBM clinical trial at peer-reviewed scientific meetings including most recently at the SNO in November 2014 and previously during the year at the annual meetings of AACR and the American Society of Clinical Oncology (“ASCO”). In summary, at doses tested to date, our interim clinical data is as follows:

We completed dose escalation cohorts up to 40mg/m2 without observation of dose limiting toxicity and subsequently filed a protocol amendment to allow for exploration of VAL-083 at doses up to 60mg/m²;

Table of Contents

We observed our first DLT in one patient in the 50mg/m² cohort, which suggests that we are nearing the identification of the MTD and advancement into registration-directed (Phase II/III) clinical trials. One of three GBM patients in cohort 7 (40mg/m²) and one of three GBM patients in cohort 6 (30 mg/m²) exhibited stable disease after one or two cycles of treatment. In earlier cohorts, we reported that two patients exhibited a response (stable disease or partial response) with a maximum response of 28 cycles (84 weeks) and improved clinical signs prior to discontinuing due to adverse events unrelated to the study;

Pharmacokinetics are linear and consistent with previous published data suggesting that concentrations of VAL-083 being obtained in our current clinical trial are achieving plasma levels that are effective against glioma cell lines in vitro; and

We presented additional data demonstrating that the cytotoxic activity of VAL-083 is distinct from standard-of-care in GBM. Specifically, the tumor-killing activity of VAL-083 has been demonstrated to be independent of MGMT, the enzyme believed to cause resistance to the current front-line therapy in the treatment of GBM.

These data support the further development of VAL-083. We are currently conducting our clinical trial at three centers: the Brain Tumor Center at University of California, San Francisco (“UCSF”), the Sarah Cannon Cancer Research Center (“SCRI”) in Nashville, Tennessee and the SCRI affiliate site at the Florida Cancer Specialist Research Institute in Sarasota, Florida. We plan to add additional clinical sites in order to accelerate enrollment as the trial progresses.

We are now delivering doses of VAL-083 that are substantially higher than were achieved in the original NCI-sponsored clinical trials. Our modernized dosing regimen takes advantage of improved side-effect management and new knowledge of the pharmacokinetic and toxicity profile of VAL-083. Our strategy to “hit the tumor harder more often” allows us to achieve higher levels of drug at the tumor-site, which we believe will result in significant clinical benefit for GBM patients who currently have no viable treatment options.

A summary of our current dose escalation scheme including doses completed to date is as follows:

DOSING REGIMEN & STUDY	SINGLE DOSE	Acute Regimen (single cycle)		Comparative Cumulative Dose (@ 35 days)	Dose Density (dose per week)	Status
NCI GBM historical regimen (Eagan et al) daily x 5 q 5wks (cycle = 35 days)	25 mg/m²	x5 days =	125 mg/m²	125 mg/m²	25mg/m²/wk	Historical Studies: Myelosuppression observed
DelMar VAL-083 regimen daily x 3 q 3wks (cycle = 21 days)	30 mg/m²	x3 days =	90 mg/m²	180 mg/m²	30mg/m²/wk	No DLT
	40 mg/m²		120 mg/m²	240 mg/m²	40mg/m²/wk	No DLT
	50 mg/m²		150 mg/m²	300 mg/m²	50mg/m²/wk	DLT observed
	60 mg/m²		180 mg/m²	360 mg/m²	60mg/m²/wk	planned

Patients being enrolled in our current clinical trial have a growing brain tumor that has failed to respond to any other approved treatment. The correlation between tumor progression and impending death in this patient population is well-documented. Therefore, our interim results demonstrating that VAL-083 can either stabilize disease progression by halting tumor growth or shrinking the tumor is expected to result in longer patient survival and improved quality of life.

We plan to continue our clinical trials with VAL-083 as a potential treatment for GBM patients who have failed other therapies. Currently, there is no approved therapy for these patients. The goal of the current trial is to establish a modernized dosing regimen for advancement into registration directed trials in the United States as a potential new therapy for the treatment of refractory GBM.

We have identified or enrolled sufficient patients to fill the 50mg/m² cohort. We have had our first observation of a DLT which signals VAL-083's potential advancement toward registration-directed clinical trials in GBM. We are currently studying a dose of 50mg/m2 and two patients have completed the required assessments. The Company's clinical protocol requires acquisition of safety data for 35 days following initial treatment with VAL-083. At this dose, one patient completed the required 35 day follow-up period without observation of a DLT. The second patient in the 50mg/m² cohort experienced myelosuppressive DLT as defined by grade four thrombocytopenia (low platelet counts). The patient's symptoms resolved rapidly and spontaneously returned to normal without concomitant medication or transfusion.

Table of Contents

Our goal is to maximize the amount of VAL-083 that can safely reach the tumor. If we observe a DLT with the third patient in the 50mg/m2 cohort, we would then propose the highest previous safe dose – 40mg/m2 – as the MTD for advancement to registration-directed trials. However, if no further DLT is observed at 50mg/m2our protocol stipulates that an additional three subjects would be enrolled at the 50mg/m2 dose, and if any of these additional subjects experiences a DLT we would then propose the highest previous dose – 40mg/m2 – as the MTD for advancement to registration-directed trials. If no DLT is observed, we may determine to continue dose escalation. Our protocol currently allows dosing up to 60mg/m2.

We believe that it is likely that we will expand enrollment of the 50mg/m² cohort prior to confirming MTD or advancing to higher doses. Based on our current enrollment and timelines, we believe it is likely that we will confirm MTD during the first half of calendar 2015.

The final decision on the dose chosen for advancement to Phase II/II registration directed studies will be determined by the safety and tolerability of our modernized dosing regimen as we achieve a MTD. Once MTD is determined, we plan to expand enrollment at that dose by an additional 14 patients in accordance with the protocol that has been filed with the FDA. During this period, we plan to request a guidance meeting with the FDA to discuss our proposed registration trial design.

We anticipate that the Phase II/III registration trial will be an open-label trial with radiographic response and overall survival as the primary endpoints. The size, design and timing of initiation of the registration-directed clinical trial will depend on completion of the current dose-escalation study and discussions with the FDA and our clinical advisors. We will provide a formal update, including any adjustment to our projected timelines once MTD is determined.

Data from the registration-directed trial will form the basis of our application for FDA approval. Our overall goal remains to complete registration-directed clinical trials with VAL-083 and to seek FDA approval as a new therapy for refractory glioblastoma in the timeliest manner possible. Based on our current financial resources, initiation of the registration trial will require additional funding to support the expanded clinical operations necessary to conduct and manage the study.

Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality around the world and effective treatment for lung cancer remains a significant global unmet need despite advances in therapy. In general, prognosis for lung cancer patients remains poor, with 5-year relative survival of less than 14% among males and less than 18% among females in most countries. Globally, the market for lung cancer treatment may exceed $7 billion by 2019.

Non–small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”) is the most common type of lung cancer. There are three common forms of NSCLC: adenocarcinomas are often found in an outer area of the lung; squamous cell carcinomas are usually found in the center of the lung next to an air tube (bronchus); and large cell carcinomas, which can occur in any part of the lung and tend to grow and spread faster than adenocarcinoma. NSCLC accounts for 85% of all lung cancer cases in the United States and approximately 90% of lung cancer cases diagnosed in China.

The activity of VAL-083 against solid tumors, including lung cancer, has been established in both pre-clinical and human clinical trials conducted by the NCI. VAL-083 has been approved by the Chinese Food and Drug Administration (“CFDA”) (formerly the State Food and Drug Administration) for the treatment of lung cancer. However, sales of VAL-083in China have been limited by a lack of modern data, poor distribution, and preference for targeted therapies such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors (“TKIs”) in the modern era.

We have begun to establish a strong scientific and clinical rationale to support the development of VAL-083 as a potential treatment for NSCLC in the modern era. The standard of care for newly diagnosed NSCLC is platinum-based combination therapy or TKI therapy for patients whose cancer exhibit epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. Patients exhibiting EGFR mutations have shown an impressive 60% initial response rate to TKIs which exceeds the response rate for conventional chemotherapy. However, treatment in the event of TKI resistance has emerged as an important unmet medical need.

Table of Contents

In October 2014, we presented new non-clinical data at the AACR New Horizons in Cancer Research Meeting. Our data support superior activity of VAL-083 compared to standard platinum-based treatment in both TKI-sensitive and TKI-resistant tumor models. Further, our data demonstrate that VAL-083 may have a synergistic effect in combination with cisplatin. These data suggest the potential of VAL-083 to be used in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy and to address modern unmet medical needs in the treatment of TKI-resistant NSCLC.

As a next step in the investigation of VAL-083 as a potential treatment for NSCLC, we have developed a protocol for a post-market clinical study to be conducted by a leading cancer clinician in the context of the current approval in China.

We plan to conduct this trial collaboration with Guangxi Wuzhou Pharmaceutical Group Co. Ltd. (“Guangxi Wuzhou Pharmaceuticals”). Under the terms of our collaboration agreement with Guangxi Wuzhou Pharmaceuticals, we are responsible for establishing protocols for and conducting clinical trials and Guangxi Wuzhou Pharmaceuticals is responsible for the costs associated with clinical trials conducted in China. (See Developing Partnerships with Pharmaceutical Companies – Guangxi Wuzhou Pharmaceutical Company). Our goal is to initiate this clinical trial by mid calendar 2015, with the aim to develop new data to support product growth in China and to establish clinical proof of concept to expand our drug development efforts with VAL-083.

Conducting this clinical trial in China under our collaboration agreement with Guangxi Wuzhou Pharmaceuticals will allow us to enhance the potential value of VAL-083 without affecting our own planned cash expenditures. We also believe that these new data will support the potential to establish global partnerships and collaborations with larger pharmaceutical companies who have the resources and commercial infrastructure to effectively develop and commercialize VAL-083 as a treatment for NSCLC on a world-wide basis.

Additional Indications

In historical studies sponsored by the National Cancer Institute in the United States, VAL-083 exhibited clinical activity against a range of tumor types including central nervous system tumors, solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. We have established new non-clinical data supporting the activity of VAL-083 in different types of cancer that are resistant to modern targeted therapies and we believe that the unique cytotoxic mechanism of VAL-083 may provide benefit to patients in a range of indications. We intend to continue to research these opportunities, and if appropriate, expand our clinical development efforts to include additional indications.

Intellectual Property and Patents

We have filed a broad portfolio of new patent applications to protect our intellectual property. Our patent applications claim compositions and methods related to the use of VAL-083 and related compounds as well as methods of synthesis and quality controls for the manufacturing process of VAL-083. In January 2015 our third patent was issued by the United States Patent Office. We continue to prosecute patent cases in the United States and international jurisdictions.

In addition to new patent filings, we intend to seek orphan drug protection and other statutory protection for our intellectual property. In February 2012, VAL-083 was granted Orphan Drug protection in the United States for the treatment of glioma, including GBM by the FDA. In January 2013, the EMA granted Orphan Drug protection to VAL-083. The orphan drug designation means that we may sell VAL-083 as a treatment for GBM without competition for seven years in the United States and for ten years in the European Union following market approval, in respect of a medicinal product containing a similar active substance for the same indication.

Drugs granted orphan drug protection generally follow the same regulatory development path as any other pharmaceutical product. However, incentives such as scientific advice and reduction or waiver of registration fees and access to specialized grant funding may be available to support and accelerate development of orphan drug candidates.

Developing Partnerships with Pharmaceutical Companies

Guangxi Wuzhou Pharmaceutical Company

Pursuant to a memorandum of understanding and collaboration agreement, dated October 25, 2012, we have established a strategic collaboration with Guangxi Wuzhou Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of publicly traded Guangxi Wuzhou Zhongheng Group Co., Ltd. (SHG: 600252) (the “Guangxi Agreement”). VAL-083 is approved for the treatment of CML and lung cancer in China and Guangxi Wuzhou Pharmaceuticals is the only manufacturer licensed by the CFDA to produce the product for the China market. Through the Guangxi Agreement, we have obtained drug product for our VAL-083 clinical trials in the United States and we have also secured certain commercial rights in China.

Pursuant to the Guangxi Agreement, we granted to Guangxi Wuzhou Pharmaceuticals a royalty-free license to certain of our intellectual property, as it relates to quality control and drug production methods for VAL-083, and we agreed that Guangxi Wuzhou Pharmaceuticals will be our exclusive supplier of VAL-083 for clinical trials and commercial sales, subject to Guangxi Wuzhou Pharmaceuticals obtaining and maintaining cGMP certification by the FDA, EMA or other applicable regulatory agencies, and Guangxi Wuzhou Pharmaceuticals being able to meet volumes ordered by us. The Company and Guangxi Wuzhou Pharmaceuticals will work together to ensure the product specifications meet global standards in order to accelerate international development and regulatory approval. Guangxi Wuzhou Pharmaceuticals will be our exclusive supplier of VAL-083 for clinical development and commercial sales, subject to its meeting and maintaining required regulatory certification. Failure of Guangxi Wuzhou Pharmaceuticals to meet production timelines or to obtain regulatory certifications could negatively affect our drug development timelines.

The Guangxi Agreement also provides us with certain exclusive commercial rights related to drug supply. Specifically, the Guangxi Agreement establishes an exclusive supply relationship between us and Guangxi Wuzhou Pharmaceuticals for the Chinese market and all markets outside China. Guangxi Wuzhou Pharmaceuticals agreed that it may not sell VAL-083 for markets outside of China to any other purchaser other than us. In addition, Guangxi Wuzhou Pharmaceuticals granted us a pre-emptive right in China (subject to our acceptance of proposed sales volume and prices) to purchase VAL-083 produced by Guangxi Wuzhou Pharmaceuticals.

Our strategy in China is to work in collaboration with Guangxi Wuzhou Pharmaceuticals and globally recognized clinical investigators to develop new clinical and non-clinical data in collaboration with leading cancer researchers. Under the terms of our collaboration agreement with Guangxi Wuzhou Pharmaceuticals, we are responsible for establishing protocols for and conducting clinical trials and Guangxi Wuzhou Pharmaceuticals is responsible for the costs associated with clinical trials conducted in China. We believe these data, if favorable, will allow the repositioning and sales growth of VAL-083 in the China market under its approved indications and provide us with clinical proof-of-concept to support global development of VAL-083 for the treatment of GBM and lung cancer.

We and Guangxi Wuzhou Pharmaceuticals have formed a clinical advisory board to oversee clinical studies. Under the terms of the Guangxi Agreement, Guangxi Wuzhou Pharmaceuticals will provide funding support for clinical trials conducted in China and we are responsible for development and commercialization.

The term of the Guangxi Agreement (except as it relates to the exclusive rights in the China market) is indefinite, subject to termination upon written agreement of all parties, or if either party breaches any material term and fails to remedy such breach within 30 days of receipt of notice of the breach, or if any action to be taken thereunder is not agreed to by both parties, provided that such matter is referred to the chief executive officer of both parties, and they are unable to resolve such matter within 90 days.

The protection of intellectual property rights in China (where VAL-083 is manufactured pursuant to the Guangxi Agreement with the only manufacturer presently licensed by the CFDA to produce the product for the China market, and where VAL-083 is approved for the treatment of CML and lung cancer) is relatively weak compared to the United States, which may negatively affect our ability to generate revenue from VAL-083 in China.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses increased to $612,169 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 from $566,060 for the three months ended December 31, 2013. The increase was largely attributable to an increase in clinical development, pre-clinical research, and intellectual property costs partially offset by a decrease in share-based compensation expenses. Clinical development costs have increased due to higher support costs related to regulatory activities and submissions to the FDA, drug manufacturing as the Company prepares for its registration trial, and activities relating to the preparation of protocols for the lung cancer and GBM studies in China. Pre-clinical research has increased due to the Company undertaking mechanism of action and lung cancer studies that had not yet been initiated at December 31, 2013. Intellectual property costs have increased in the three months ended December 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2013 as the Company has now been granted three patents and has recently submitted additional patent applications. Partially offsetting the impact of higher costs in these areas are lower share-based payments of a reversal of expense of ($8,077) in the current quarter compared to an expense of $163,514 for the corresponding 2013 period. In relation to research and development expenses during the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 the Company incurred share-based payments relating to stock option expense only. The decrease in stock option expense in the current quarter was due to a decrease in the Company’s share price in the current quarter compared to the prior quarter.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses were $656,229 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 compared to $636,182 for the three months ended December 31, 2013. Overall, an increase in share-based payments and facilities costs was largely offset by decreases in professional fees in the current period compared to the corresponding period in 2013. Share-based payments increased to $219,646 in the three months ended December 31, 2014 from $192,391 for the three months ended December 31, 2013. In relation to general and administrative expenses during the three months ended December 31, 2014, the Company incurred share-based payments related to stock option expense and shares issued for services while during the three months ended December 31, 2013 the Company incurred share-based payments relating to stock options and for warrants issued for services. The decrease in stock option expense in the current quarter was due to a decrease in the Company’s share price in the current quarter compared to the corresponding quarter in the prior year.

Table of Contents

Excluding the impact of share-based payments, general and administrative expenses remained relatively consistent decreasing slightly to $436,582 during the three months ended December 31, 2014 from $443,791 for the three months ended December 31, 2013. The principal reasons for the decrease were lower professional fees partially offset by higher facilities costs. Professional fees decreased during the three months ended December 31, 2014 compared the three months ended December 31, 2013 due to lower business development and investor relations costs. Facilities costs increased for the three months ended December 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2013 largely due an increase in promotion and press releases, and filing and related fees. The filings fees related to the Company listing its common stock on the OTCQX.

Change in fair value of derivative liability

Based on the terms of certain warrants issued by the Company, the Company determined that the warrants were a derivative liability which is recognized at fair value at the date of the transaction and re-measured at fair value every reporting period with gains or losses on the changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated condensed interim statement of loss and comprehensive loss. The balances recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were largely due to a decrease in the Company’s common stock price between the date the warrants were last valued and December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which were the current revaluation dates presented for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

The Company recognized gains of $435,200 and $372,487 from the change in fair value of the derivative liability for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In addition, as a result of amending the Investor Warrants and Dividend Warrants during the quarter ended December 31, 2014, the Company also recognized a loss of $143,532. All warrants that have been exercised or amended were revalued at their respective exercise or amendment dates and then the reclassification to equity was recorded. Also, during the quarter ended December 31, 2014, the Company exchanged certain Investor Warrants for shares of common stock resulting in the recognition of a loss of $92,843 on the exchange. The Company consummated a tender offer in relation to the 5,964,738 Investor Warrants outstanding at December 31, 2014. The Investor Warrant holders could elect to exchange three Investor Warrants for one share of common stock of the Company until the expiration of the tender offer on February 9, 2015.

Changes in the Company’s common stock price can result in significant volatility in the Company’s reported net loss due to its impact on the fair value of the derivative liability. As a result of revaluation gains and losses, the Company expects that its reported net income or loss will continue to fluctuate significantly.

Foreign Exchange Gain

The Company’s functional currency at December 31, 2014 is the USD but the Company incurs a portion of its expenses in CDN. The foreign exchange gains and losses are reported in other (income) loss in the Consolidated Condensed Interim Statement of Loss and Comprehensive Loss.

The Company recognized a foreign exchange loss of $7,295 for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 compared to a loss of $34,797 for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. The change was due to changes in the exchange rate between the CDN and the USD and to varying levels of CDN accounts payable.

Interest Expense

Pursuant to a loan agreement dated February 3, 2011, the Company received a loan from Valent in the amount of $250,000 for the purchase of the prototype drug product. The loan was payable on demand, unsecured and bore interest at 3% per year. Effective September 30, 2014 the loan balance, including accumulated interest to September 30, 2014, was exchanged for 278,530 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock pays an annual dividend of 3%.

Table of Contents

For the three-months ended December 31, 2014, the Company accrued $2,089 related to the dividend payable to Valent. The dividend has been recorded as a direct increase in accumulated deficit and was paid subsequent to December 31, 2014. For the three-months ended December 31, 2013 the Company accrued $2,044 in interest on its loan payable with Valent.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses increased to $1,283,796 for the six months ended December 31, 2014 from $1,126,295 for the six months ended December 31, 2013. The increase was largely attributable to an increase in clinical development, pre-clinical research, and intellectual property costs partially offset by a decrease in share-based compensation expenses. Clinical development costs have increased due to higher support costs related to regulatory activities and submissions to the FDA, drug manufacturing as the Company prepares for its registration trial, and activities relating to the preparation of protocols for the lung cancer and GBM studies in China. Pre-clinical research has increased due to the Company undertaking mechanism of action and lung cancer studies that had not yet been initiated at December 31, 2013. Intellectual property costs increased in the six months ended December 31, 2014 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2013 as the Company has now been granted three patents and is has recently submitted additional patent applications. Partially offsetting the impact of higher costs in these areas are lower share-based payments of $13,056 in the current six month period compared to $259,589 for the corresponding 2013 period. In relation to research and development expenses during the six months ended December 31, 2014 the Company incurred share-based payments relating to stock option expense only. During the six months ended December 31, 2013 the Company incurred expenses for stock options and the issuance of shares for services. The decrease in stock option expense in the current period was due to a decrease in the Company’s share price in the six month period in 2014 compared to the corresponding period in 2013.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses were $1,101,229 for the six months ended December 31, 2014 compared to $1,377,550 for the six months ended December 31, 2013. The decrease was partially attributable to a decrease in share-based payments to $247,454 in the six months ended December 31, 2014 from $490,710 for the six months ended December 31, 2013. In relation to general and administrative expenses during the six months ended December 31, 2014, the Company incurred share-based payments related to stock options and shares issued for services while during the six months ended December 31, 2013 the Company incurred share-based payments relating to stock options and for warrants issued for services. The decrease in stock option expense in the current period was due to a decrease in the Company’s share price in the current period compared to the corresponding period in 2013.

Excluding the impact of share-based payments, general and administrative expenses remained relatively consistent decreasing slightly to $853,775 during the six months ended December 31, 2014 from $886,840 for the six months ended December 31, 2013. The principal reasons for the decrease were lower professional fees partially offset by higher personnel and facilities costs. Professional fees were lower during the six months ended December 31, 2014 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2013 due to lower business development and investor relations costs. Personnel costs increased due to higher management fees and benefits in the current six months compared to the corresponding period in 2013. Facilities costs increased for the six months ended December 31, 2014 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2013 largely due an increase in promotion and press releases, and filing and related fees. The filings fees related to the Company listing its common stock on the OTCQX.

Change in fair value of derivative liability

Based on the terms of certain warrants issued by the Company, the Company determined that the warrants were a derivative liability which is recognized at fair value at the date of the transaction and re-measured at fair value every reporting period with gains or losses on the changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated condensed interim statement of loss and comprehensive loss. The balances recognized during the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were primarily due to a changes in the Company’s common stock price between the date the warrants were last valued and December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which were the current revaluation dates presented for the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

The Company recognized gains of $66,606 and $8,466,826 from the change in fair value of the derivative liability for the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In addition, as a result of amending the Investor Warrants and Dividend Warrants during the period ended December 31, 2014, the Company also recognized a gain of $23,658. All warrants that have been exercised or amended were revalued at their respective exercise or amendment dates and then the reclassification to equity was recorded. Also, during the six months ended December 31, 2014, the Company exchanged certain Investor Warrants for shares of common stock resulting in the recognition of a loss of $92,843 on the exchange. The Company consummated a tender offer in relation to the 5,964,738 Investor Warrants outstanding at December 31, 2014. The Investor Warrant holders could elect to exchange three Investor Warrants for one share of common stock of the Company until the expiration of the tender offer on February 9, 2015.

Foreign Exchange Gain

The Company recognized a foreign exchange loss of $9,686 for the six months ended December 31, 2014 compared to a loss of $31,963 for the six months ended December 31, 2013. The change was due to changes in the exchange rate between the CDN and the USD and to varying levels of CDN accounts payable.

Interest Expense

For the six-months ended December 31, 2014, the Company accrued $2,089 related to the dividend payable to Valent and $2,091 related to interest from June 30, 2014 to September 30, 2014 when the loan was converted to preferred shares. The dividend has been recorded as a direct increase in accumulated deficit and the $2,091 has been recognized as interest expense. For the six-months ended December 31, 2013 the Company accrued $4,073 in interest on its loan payable with Valent.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities decreased to $2,065,360 for the six months ended December 31, 2014 from $2,146,189 for the six months ended December 31, 2013. During the six months ended December 31, 2014 the Company reported a loss of $2,399,120 compared to income of $5,928,256 for the six months ended December 31, 2013. However, included in the net income in 2013 was a gain of $8,466,826 attributable to changes in the fair value of the derivative liability. During the six months ended December 31, 2014, the Company recognized a gain of $66,606 from changes in the fair value of the derivative liability. Excluding the impact of changes in the fair value of the derivative liability, non-cash items relating to accrued interest, gains from amending the terms of certain warrants, losses from the exchange of warrants, and stock-based compensation totaled $331,786 for the six months ended December 31, 2014. Non-cash items relating to accrued interest, warrants issued for services, and share-based compensation totaled $754,372 for the six months ended December 31, 2013. The most significant changes in non-cash working capital for the six months ended December 31, 2014 were from a decrease in prepaid expenses of $78,770. In the six months ended December 31, 2013 the most significant items were due to reductions in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and related party payables of $290,770 and $127,432 respectively.

Financing Activities

The Company received net proceeds of $1,266,177 from the exercise of warrants during the six months ended December 31, 2014. In addition, the Company recognized $2,089 in dividends on the Series A preferred stock issued to Valent. There were no financing activities in the prior period.

Operating Capital and Capital Expenditure Requirements

For the six month period ended December 31, 2014, the Company reported a loss of $2,399,120 and an accumulated deficit of $21,064,623 at that date. As at December 31, 2014, the Company has cash and cash equivalents on hand of $3,958,439. The Company does not have the prospect of achieving revenues in the near future and the Company will require additional funding to maintain its research and development projects and for general operations. There is a great degree of uncertainty with respect to the expenses the Company will incur in executing its business plan. In addition, the Company has not begun to commercialize or generate revenues from any product candidate.

Consequently, management is pursuing various financing alternatives to fund the Company’s operations so it can continue as a going concern in the medium to longer term. During the six months ended December 31, 2014 the Company received an aggregate $1,266,177 in net proceeds from the exercise of 1,986,074 warrants. We believe, based on our current estimates, that we will be able to fund our operations until at least the end of first quarter of calendar 2016.

Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including but not limited to:

the rate of progress and cost of our clinical trials, preclinical studies and other discovery and research and development activities;

the costs associated with establishing manufacturing and commercialization capabilities;

the costs of acquiring or investing in businesses, product candidates and technologies;

the costs of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights;

the costs and timing of seeking and obtaining FDA and other regulatory approvals;

the effect of competing technological and market developments; and

the economic and other terms and timing of any collaboration, licensing or other arrangements into which we may enter.

Until we can generate a sufficient amount of product revenue to finance our cash requirements, which we may never do, we expect to finance future cash needs primarily through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or strategic collaborations. Although we are not reliant on institutional credit finance and therefore not subject to debt covenant compliance requirements or potential withdrawal of credit by banks, the current economic climate has also impacted the availability of funds and activity in equity markets. We do not know whether additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are not able to secure additional funding when needed, we may have to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of our clinical trials or research and development programs or make changes to our operating plan. In addition, we may have to seek a partner for one or more of our product candidate programs at an earlier stage of development, which would lower the economic value of those programs to us.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, requires companies to establish accounting policies and to make estimates that affect both the amount and timing of the recording of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Some of these estimates require judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and therefore actual results may differ from those estimates.

A detailed presentation of all of the Company’s significant accountings policies and the estimates derived therefrom is included in Note 3 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the transition period ended June 30, 2014 contained in our Form 10-KT filed with the SEC on August 28, 2014. While all of the significant accounting policies are important to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the following accounting policies and the estimates derived therefrom have been identified as being critical:

Shares for services

Stock options

Derivative liability

Shares for services

Periodically, the Company has issued equity instruments for services provided by employees and nonemployees. The equity instruments are valued at the fair value of the instrument granted.

Stock options

The Company accounts for these awards under ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation over the requisite service period for awards expected to vest. Compensation expense for unvested options to non-employees is revalued at each period end and is being amortized over the vesting period of the options. The determination of grant-date fair value for stock option awards is estimated using the Black-Scholes model, which includes variables such as the expected volatility of the Company’s share price, the anticipated exercise behavior of its grantee, interest rates, and dividend yields. These variables are projected based on the Company’s historical data, experience, and other factors. Changes in any of these variables could result in material adjustments to the expense recognized for share-based payments. Such value is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures, using the straight-line attribution method. The estimation of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from current estimates, such amounts are recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. The Company considers many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including type of awards granted, employee class, and historical experience. Actual results and future estimates may differ substantially from current estimates.

Derivative liability

The Company accounts for certain warrants under the authoritative guidance on accounting for derivative financial instruments indexed to, and potentially settled in, a company’s own stock, on the understanding that in compliance with applicable securities laws, the warrants require the issuance of securities upon exercise and do not sufficiently preclude an implied right to net cash settlement. The Company classifies warrants in its balance sheet as a derivative liability which is fair valued at each reporting period subsequent to the initial issuance. As quoted prices for the derivative liability are not available, the Company uses a simulated probability valuation model to value the warrants. Determining the appropriate fair-value model and calculating the fair value of warrants requires considerable judgment. Any change in the estimates used may cause the value to be higher or lower than that reported. The estimated volatility of the Company’s common stock at the date of issuance, and at each subsequent reporting period, is based on the historical volatility of similar life sciences companies. The risk-free interest rate is based on rates published by the government for bonds with a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants at the valuation date. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not required for a smaller reporting company.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's (the “SEC”) rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and also are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
