NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(EXPRESSED IN CANADIAN DOLLARS)

(UNAUDITED)

 

1. Company Overview and Basis of Presentation

 

Nature and History of Operations

 

Tropic International Inc. (formerly Rockford Minerals, Inc.) (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on October 29, 2007. The Company was a natural resource exploration company with an objective of acquiring, exploring and, if warranted and feasible, developing natural resource properties. Activities during the exploration stage included developing the business plan and raising capital.

 

On June 28, 2013, the Company completed a reverse takeover transaction (see Note 2) with Tropic Spa Inc. (“TSI”), a company that manufactures and sells Home Mist Tanning units that deliver a full-body application. As a result of this transaction, the Company became a holding company operating through TSI. Upon the closing of the share exchange agreement described below, the Company changed its fiscal year end from October 31 to August 31 to coincide with the fiscal year end of TSI.

 

On December 6, 2013, the Company changed its name to Tropic International Inc. as a result of a merger with a wholly-owned subsidiary incorporated solely to effect the name change.

 

On September 3, 2014, the Company’s shares became eligible for quotation on the OTCQB under the symbol TRPO.

 

On June 13, 2016, the Company completed an asset acquisition transaction (see Note 3) with Notox Bioscience Inc. (“Notox”), a private Nevada corporation incorporated on May 31, 2016 for the purpose of acquiring 100% of the right, title and interest in and to an exclusive license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with The Cleveland Clinic Foundation (the “Clinic”), an Ohio not-for-profit corporation. As a result of this transaction, the Company is a holding company operating through both TSI and Notox.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of the Company, TSI and Notox for the three months ended November 30, 2017. The comparative amounts are the results of operations of the Company, TSI and Notox for the three months ended November 30, 2016.

 

On November 19, 2007, TSI obtained the rights to the Home Mist Tanning system and the application for and acquisition of a United States Patent “Apparatus for Spray Application of a Sunless Tanning Product” (the “US Patent”). As of March 11, 2013, the total value assigned to the carrying value of the US Patent was $6,342,279.

 

On October 16, 2014, the Company, through TSI, obtained an Australian patent (the “Australian Patent”), incurring application costs of $4,976. On June 21, 2016, the Company, through TSI, obtained a Canadian patent (the “Canadian Patent”), incurring application costs of $17,406. On December 28, 2016, the Company, through TSI, obtained a Chinese patent (the “Chinese Patent”), incurring application costs of $5,806. Costs incurred are recorded as intangible assets. On August 31, 2017, the net carrying amount of the patents was written down to a nominal amount of $4 (see Note 9).

 

As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has a deficit of $11,189,751 (August 31, 2017 - $10,972,661) since inception, a working capital deficiency of $2,807,700 (August 31, 2017 - $3,134,766) and a stockholders’ deficiency of $1,713,130 (August 31, 2017 - stockholders’ equity of $1,986,065). This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital and to implement its business plan. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(EXPRESSED IN CANADIAN DOLLARS)

(UNAUDITED)

 

1. Company Overview and Basis of Presentation (cont’d)

 

Management has evaluated the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern by assessing its ability to meet its obligations as they become due within one year from the date of issue of the financial statements. Management’s assessment included the following factors:

 

  The Company’s financial condition as at the date of issue of the financial statements;
  The Company’s actual or anticipated conditional and unconditional obligations due within one year from the date of issue of the financial statements;
  The funds necessary to maintain the Company’s operations considering its current financial condition, obligations and other expected cash flows; and
  Other conditions and events that may affect the Company’s ability to meet its obligations within one year from the date of issue of the financial statements.

 

The Company’s operating expenses are estimated to be approximately $100,000 per year. As at November 30, 2017, the Company’s current cash liabilities total approximately $2,354,000 (August 31, 2017 - $2,175,000). Of this amount, approximately $1,887,000 – accounts payable and accrued liabilities ($926,000), advances from related parties/shareholders ($259,000) and license assignment fee payable ($702,000) – is payable to related parties and/or major shareholders who have not and will not require payment until such time as sufficient cash flow is available. Of the remaining $467,000, $46,000 was repaid subsequent to the end of the period and $120,000 is payable to an organization that is willing to continue to defer payment. To the extent the remaining $301,000 cannot be deferred and sufficient equity financing has not been raised to make the payment required, management will advance funds to the Company, if appropriate.

 

2. Reverse Takeover

 

On June 28, 2013 (the “Closing Date”), the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary 1894632 Ontario Inc. (“Subco”) and TSI entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with certain of the shareholders of TSI (the “Selling Shareholders”) pursuant to which the Company acquired 39,015,439 common shares, or approximately 78% of the issued and outstanding shares, of TSI in exchange for the issuance of 39,015,439 preferred shares of Subco to the Selling Shareholders on a one-for-one basis. Each one preferred share of Subco is exchangeable into one share of the Company’s common stock at the option of the holder subject to the following restrictions:

 

  The Selling Shareholders required the written consent of Subco to exchange, sell or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of their preferred shares of Subco until the six month anniversary of the Closing Date;
     
  Within 30 days of that time, and provided TSI generated at least $1,000,000 in gross revenue during the preceding six month period, Subco permitted the Selling Shareholders to require Subco to redeem an aggregate of 1% of its then-outstanding preferred shares on a pro-rata basis; and
     
  Within 30 days of each six month anniversary of the Closing Date until June 30, 2015, on which date all restrictions on the preferred shares automatically expired unless extended by the Selling Shareholders, Subco granted the holders of its preferred shares a permission identical to the one above.

 

Upon the closing of the Exchange Agreement, the sole officer and director of TSI became the sole officer and a director of the Company and the Company adopted the business plan of TSI.

(UNAUDITED)

 

2. Reverse Takeover (cont’d)

 

As a result of the share exchange, the Selling Shareholders controlled approximately 87% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company on a fully-exchanged basis as of the Closing Date. The Exchange Agreement represented a reverse takeover and was therefore accounted for under the acquisition method with TSI as the accounting acquirer and continuing entity for accounting and financial reporting purposes and the Company as the legal parent being the acquiree. There was no active market to reliably determine fair value of the consideration other than the value of the identifiable assets acquired. Therefore, the purchase price allocation of the acquisition was based on the fair value of the net liabilities acquired which was charged to additional paid-in-capital.

 

The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were as follows:

 

Cash  $1,774 
Subscriptions receivable   10 
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities   (32,488)
Loan payable to TSI   (25,454)
Net liabilities acquired  $(56,158)

 

On February 17, 2015, the Company, Subco, TSI and the Selling Shareholders entered into an amendment to the Exchange Agreement in order to correct certain administrative errors in the Exchange Agreement and provide for the post-closing execution of the Exchange Agreement by those shareholders of TSI who were not original signatories thereto. In addition, the Selling Shareholders approved certain changes to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached to the preferred shares of Subco by consent in writing. This included extending the automatic expiration date in respect of the preferred shares of Subco from June 30, 2015 to June 30, 2017. On February 22, 2017, this automatic expiration date was further extended to December 31, 2018.

 

3. Asset Acquisition and License Agreement

 

On June 13, 2016 (the “Second Closing Date”), the Company, Notox and the shareholders of Notox (the “Notox Shareholders”) entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Notox from the Notox Shareholders in exchange for the issuance of 50,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. See Note 16.

 

On the Second Closing Date, Notox and Zoran Holding Corporation (“ZHC”), a private Ontario corporation, entered into an assignment agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”) pursuant to which ZHC irrevocably assigned 100% of its right, title and interest in and to the License Agreement, as amended, to Notox. Also on the Second Closing Date, the sole officer and director of Notox and ZHC became a director and officer of the Company.

 

On November 23, 2016, the Company, Notox and the Notox Shareholders entered into an amendment to the Share Exchange Agreement in order to clarify certain sections in the Share Exchange Agreement, to provide for an assignment fee and to describe how the Company will use the proceeds of any equity financing completed after the Second Closing Date. In consideration for inducing ZHC to enter into the Assignment Agreement, the Company will pay an aggregate of US$1,000,000 to ZKC in the form of a one-time assignment fee. See Note 14.

3. Asset Acquisition and License Agreement (cont’d)

 

On December 1, 2012, ZHC and the Clinic entered into the License Agreement whereby the Clinic granted ZHC an exclusive worldwide license and a non-exclusive worldwide license in the field of aesthetics and pain to make, use, offer to sell, sell and import certain products throughout the term of the License Agreement. The term continues until the expiration of the last to expire of the certain patents. The License Agreement was amended on July 30, 2013 and July 1, 2016. Pursuant to the License Agreement, as amended, Notox is the licensee under the License Agreement and is solely responsible for making all regulatory filings and securing regulatory approval for the products covered by the License Agreement. The Clinic will receive a royalty based on the sale of certain products, a milestone payment within 30 days following the first commercial sale of such products and a percentage of any sublicensing revenues. Royalties and other payments are payable quarterly. Notox is required to achieve two commercial milestones: regulatory filings submitted to regulatory authorities by November 30, 2019 and first commercial sale within nine months following regulatory approval. Failure to achieve these milestones, without satisfactory justification, constitutes a material breach of the License Agreement giving the Clinic the right, but not the obligation, to convert the License Agreement to a non-exclusive license or terminate the License Agreement. The Clinic has the right to verify Notox’s compliance with the License Agreement.

 

Within 30 days following Notox’s receipt of the first regulatory approval, Notox is required to reimburse the Clinic for current patenting costs. All patenting costs, patent office fees and outside patent counsel costs will, at the Clinic’s option, either be paid directly by Notox or by the Clinic with the Clinic invoicing Notox, provided that Notox has no obligation to pay or reimburse the Clinic until after first regulatory approval has been obtained. Upon termination or expiration of the License Agreement, all accrued and unreimbursed patenting costs become immediately due and payable to the Clinic. As of November 30, 2017, all accrued and unreimbursed patenting costs totalled US$157,758 ($203,319) (August 31, 2017 - US$157,758 ($197,765)).

 

As a result of the share exchange and on the Second Closing Date, the Notox Shareholders controlled approximately 89% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company (52.5% on a fully-exchanged basis) and Notox became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Notox did not meet the definition (inputs, processes and outputs criteria) of a business. The Share Exchange Agreement represented an asset acquisition and was therefore accounted for under the asset acquisition method.

 

Acquired intangible assets are recognized and initially measured based on their fair value plus transaction costs incurred as part of the acquisition. There was no active market to reliably determine the fair value of the License Agreement acquired. Therefore the fair value of the License Agreement was based on the par value of the common stock exchanged by the Company.

 

The fair value and gross carrying value of the License Agreement is as follows:

 

License Agreement  $133,212 
Cash   131 
Accrued liabilities   (5,423)
Capital stock exchanged (50,000,000 shares at US$0.002 per share)  $127,920 

 

Fair value of License Agreement  $133,212 
Acquisition costs   19,519 
Assignment fee (US$1,000,000)   1,347,000 
Gross carrying value of License Agreement  $1,499,731

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, TSI, Notox, Subco and 1894631 Ontario Inc., the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to equipment, fair values of intangible assets, useful lives of intangible assets and the likelihood of realization of its deferred tax assets. The Company bases its estimates on assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.

 

Concentration of Risk

 

The financial instrument which potentially subjects the Company to a concentration of credit risk is cash. The Company places its cash in an account with a high credit quality financial institution.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies. There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies that are disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto during the period ended November 30, 2017.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost, computed using the first-in, first-out method, or market. If the cost of inventory exceeds its market value, a provision is made currently for the difference between the cost and market value. The Company’s inventory consists of finished goods, components and supplies.

 

Equipment, Net

 

Equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset. Mould equipment is depreciated at 20% on a declining-balance basis. The website was depreciated on a straight-line basis over five years. One-half of these rates are used in the year of acquisition. Replacements and major improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed of and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations.

Intangible Assets

 

Patents

 

The US Patent is recorded at the value attributed to the shares issued by TSI in connection with its acquisition less accumulated amortization and impairment writedowns. The US Patent was issued on September 29, 2009 and is effective until September 29, 2026. The Australian, Canadian and Chinese Patents are recorded at the application costs incurred less accumulated amortization and impairment writedowns. The Australian Patent was issued on October 16, 2014 and is effective until April 5, 2027. The Canadian Patent was issued on June 21, 2016 and is effective until April 5, 2027. The Chinese Patent was issued on December 28, 2016 and is effective until February 1, 2033. Upon expiration, the patents can be extended subject to certain changes required to secure the extension. Although the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors (such as stability of the industry, technological advances and legislative action that results in an uncertain or changing regulatory environment) can have an adverse effect on the industry and the Company’s product, management is not currently aware of any known adverse factors that will affect the Company in the future.

 

Costs incurred for patents which are in the process of being completed will be amortized over the life of the patent when the patent is issued.

 

The Company does not believe that there are any limits to how long its Home Mist Tanning units can sell in the market place. While it expects to be able to secure extensions for its patents prior to expiry, this cannot be predicted with certainty at this time. Accordingly, management has determined that the best estimates of useful lives of the US, Australian, Canadian and Chinese Patents are 17, 13, 11 and 16 years, respectively. At this time, the Company does not believe that the patents will have a residual value at the end of their useful lives.

 

License Agreement

 

The License Agreement is recorded at estimated fair value plus acquisition costs less accumulated amortization. The term of the License Agreement continues until the expiration of the last to expire of the Licensed Patents (as defined in the License Agreement). All costs related to the development of the licensed technology are expensed as incurred.

 

The technology licensed by Notox is a platform that provides the Company access to four large market segments or verticals (derma, pain, body and headache) that include the fields of aesthetics, drug-free pain management, body contouring and perspiration control. Based on management’s experience, it takes approximately two years to fully develop each vertical, with each vertical being developed in sequence. Accordingly, management’s best estimate of the amortization period for the License Agreement is eight years.

 

Amortization and Impairment

 

Definite-lived intangible assets are required to be amortized using a method that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed or utilized. At this time, management is not able to determine with any amount of certainty the number of Home Mist Tanning units that will be sold over the useful lives of the patents. Accordingly, the patents were being amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of their useful lives. The License Agreement is being amortized over eight years based on management’s best estimate of the time required to develop the four verticals as explained above.

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)

 

Intangible assets subject to amortization are required to be reviewed for impairment. An impairment loss must be recognized if the intangible asset’s carrying amount is not recoverable and the carrying amount exceeds fair value. The Company applies the following three-step process to identify, recognize and measure impairment of intangible assets:

 

  Consider whether indicators of impairment are present indicating that the intangible assets’ carrying amount might not be recoverable;
  If indicators are present, perform a recoverability test by comparing the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the intangible assets to their carrying amounts; and
  If the undiscounted cash flows used in the recoverability test are less than the intangible assets’ carrying amount, determine the intangible assets’ fair value and recognize an impairment loss if the carrying amount exceeds fair value.

 

Because of the unique nature of a patent and a license agreement, income-producing definite-lived intangible assets, the calculation of cash flows can be very difficult to estimate. In this case, the estimated cash flows reflect the direct revenue expected to be generated by the patents and the License Agreement as well as an allocation of expenses.

 

Leases

 

The Company currently rents premises pursuant to two operating leases.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets, including equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount should be evaluated. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by it. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.

 

Stock Purchase Warrants

 

When the Company undertakes a private placement, it may issue units comprised of common stock of the Company and warrants to acquire common stock of the Company. Warrants with a strike price denominated in the Company’s functional currency (the Canadian dollar) are considered to be indexed to the Company’s stock and are classified as equity. Warrants with a strike price denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency are considered not to be indexed to the Company’s stock and are classified as a liability. Warrants classified as equity are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value are not recognized as long as the warrants continue to be classified as equity. Warrants classified as a liability are initially measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in profit or loss in each reporting period.

 

Sales

 

The Company has Home Mist Tanning units and related supplies available for sale, primarily online via its website. The Company recognizes revenue when the units and supplies have been shipped to the customer, the amount to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue is recorded net of applicable sales taxes.

Warranty

 

The Company is committed to supplying products of superior quality and design. Because of this commitment, it provides a limited one year warranty effective from the date of purchase. The Company warranties its Home Mist Tanning units to be free of defects. If a unit stops operating due to defects in materials or workmanship, the Company either repairs or replaces it for free.

 

Production Costs

 

Production costs consist of patent and license agreement amortization, production consulting fees, equipment depreciation, design and production costs and materials and supplies.

 

Advertising Costs

 

The Company charges all advertising and marketing costs to expense in the period incurred.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred income tax is accounted for using the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences in recognizing certain income and expense items for financial reporting purposes and tax reporting purposes. Such deferred income taxes primarily relate to the difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to the future years in which deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be settled or realized. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. At this time, the Company is not able to project future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible and, accordingly, management is not able to determine if it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company does not have any derivative financial assets or liabilities.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Carrying values of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, advances from related parties/shareholders, license assignment fee payable and stock subscribed approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. Amounts receivable consists primarily of Harmonized Sales Tax (“HST”) receivable from the Government of Canada. HST is not a financial instrument.

 

Foreign Currency

 

The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars.

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)

 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the period-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items or on settlement of monetary items are recognized in the loss in the period in which they arise.

 

5. Loss Per Share

 

The following table sets forth the computation of loss per share:

Loss per share  $(0.00)  $(0.00)

 

6. Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. There is a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, which require management judgment or estimation.

 

The Company measures its financial instruments at fair value.

 

The carrying value of cash deposits is a reasonable estimate of its fair value due to the short maturity of the financial instrument.

 

The Company’s stock purchase warrants are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

 

7. Design and Production - NRFTS

 

On February 20, 2017, the Company entered into the Notox Radio Frequency Treatment System (“NRFTS”) Proposal (the “Proposal”) with RBC Medical Innovations (“RBC”) to develop technology licensed by Notox. The NRFTS is comprised of two distinct components – the disposable probe and the radio frequency generator (“RFG”) console. Pursuant to the Proposal, RBC will execute design and production of the NRFTS and is responsible for overall program management, system integration and development and manufacturing transfer of the RFG console. The project is to be completed in three

9. Patents, Net (cont’d)

 

During the year ended August 31, 2017, management identified the following indicators of impairment indicating that the patents’ carrying amounts might not be recoverable:

 

  The inability to raise sufficient equity financing to implement its strategic plan; and
  Operating and cash flow losses since the Company completed the development of the US, Australian, Canadian and Chinese patents.

 

Management’s intention is to license commercial tanning units for use in stores and spas in the United States, to sell personal tanning units internationally and to supply the spray tan solution for those units. Given that management is in the process of changing its focus in respect of the marketing and sale of the tanning units and associated products, it is not in a position to be able to estimate the future cash flows attributable to the patents with any degree of certainty. Accordingly, the patents were written down to a nominal amount of $4 at August 31, 2017.

 

In connection with the writedown of the patents, the fact that there have been minimal sales to date and no comparable products on the market to use as a point of reference, management is not able to determine whether inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Accordingly, inventory was written down to a nominal amount of $1 at August 31, 2017.

PRESENTATION OF INFORMATION

 

Except as otherwise indicated by the context, references in this Report to “we”, “us” and “our” are to the combined business of Tropic International Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

 

This Report includes our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements as at and for the three months ended November 30, 2017. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”). All financial information in this Report is presented in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated, and should be read in conjunction with our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Report.

 

As disclosed in our current report on Form 8-K dated July 3, 2013, on June 28, 2013 we completed a share exchange with Tropic Spa Inc., an Ontario corporation (“Tropic Spa”), 1894632 Ontario Inc., an Ontario corporation (“Subco”), and certain of the shareholders of Tropic Spa (collectively, the “Tropic Spa Shareholders”), pursuant to which we acquired 78,030,877 common shares, or approximately 78% of the issued and outstanding shares, of Tropic Spa in exchange for the issuance of 78,030,877 preferred shares of Subco, our wholly owned subsidiary, to the Tropic Spa Shareholders on a one-for-one basis (the “Share Exchange”). Each preferred share of Subco is exchangeable into one share of our common stock at the option of the holder thereof, subject to certain restrictions. As a result of the Share Exchange, Tropic Spa became our majority-owned subsidiary and the former shareholders of Tropic Spa became holders of the preferred shares of Subco, a company that has only one issued and outstanding common share which is held by us. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse takeover/recapitalization effected by a share exchange, wherein Tropic Spa is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. Our consolidated financial statements are therefore, in substance, those of Tropic Spa.

 

Also, as disclosed in our current report on Form 8-K dated July 14, 2016, on June 13, 2016 we completed a share exchange with Notox Bioscience Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Notox”), and all the shareholders of Notox (collectively, the “Notox Shareholders”) pursuant to which we acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of Notox from the Notox Shareholders in exchange for the issuance of 100,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock to the Notox Shareholders on a 1,000-for-one basis (the “Notox Share Exchange”). In connection with the Notox Share Exchange, Notox acquired 100% of the right, title and interest in and to an exclusive license agreement dated December 1, 2012, as amended on July 30, 2013 (together, the “License Agreement”) with the Cleveland Clinic Foundation (the “Clinic”) formerly held by Zoran Holding Corporation, a private Ontario corporation (“ZHC”), Notox became our wholly-owned subsidiary, and the Notox Shareholders acquired approximately 89% of our issued and outstanding common stock (52.5% on a fully-exchanged basis). The transaction represented an asset acquisition and was therefore accounted for under the asset acquisition method.

 

Finally, on August 25, 2016, we completed a reverse split of our issued and outstanding common stock at the ratio of one (1) new share for every two (2) existing shares and caused Subco to do the same. All share and per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the reverse split except as otherwise indicated.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition has been derived from and should be read in conjunction with our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto that appear elsewhere in this Report, as well as the “Presentation of Information” section that appears at the beginning of this Report.

 

Overview

 

We are a company in the business of developing and commercializing innovative technologies. Through Notox, we own 100% of the right, title and interest in and to the License Agreement with the Clinic formerly held by ZHC. The License Agreement grants us the exclusive license to certain patented intellectual property of the Clinic relating to the treatment of a neuromuscular defect developed by Dr. Frank Papay, MD, FACS Chairman Dermatology and Plastic Surgery Institute, Cleveland Clinic, and in particular, the ability to produce sell, improve and modernize products that incorporate such intellectual property in the fields of aesthetics, drug free pain management, body contouring and perspiration control. We plan to develop this intellectual property into the world’s first credible and healthier non-toxic alternative to Botox, which is a commercial form of the botulinum toxin protein used primarily for medical and cosmetic purposes.

 

On September 26, 2017, we entered into a second amendment to the License Agreement with Notox and the Clinic, effective July 1, 2016. The purpose of this amendment was to, among other things: (i) clarify certain vague terms of the License Agreement; (ii) include us as a party for the purpose of guaranteeing the due and prompt payment and performance of all covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities of Notox; (iii) record the Clinic’s explicit consent to the assignment from ZHC to Notox; (iv) extend the deadline for achieving the first commercial milestone (the submission of regulatory filings to applicable authorities) from November 30, 2017 to November 30, 2019; and (v) establish a second commercial milestone (the completion of at least one commercial sale within nine months of receiving regulatory approval).

 

Through Tropic Spa, our goal is to market unique commercial tanning systems designed primarily for spas, gyms and clinics, as well as a personal tanning solution designed for convenient home use that delivers a full-body application and eliminates the harmful health effects associated with traditional tanning beds, and in particular, exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The consequences of such exposure generally include an increase in the risk of contracting both melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers as well as structural damage to the skin that can result in what dermatologists call “photoageing”, or premature wrinkles, freckles, leathery texture and a loss of elasticity.

 

To date, we have finalized the design of our personal tanning product and applied for and acquired patents for it in the United States (the “US Patent”), Canada, Australia and China. We have also prepared our product for market, completed two phases of test marketing initiatives, and are currently exploring potential avenues for launching the product on a worldwide scale.

 

Results of Operations

 

Revenue

 

We did not generate any revenue during either the three months ended November 30, 2017 or the same period in 2016.

During the three months ended November 30, 2017, we incurred $189,264 in total general and administrative expenses, compared to $151,362 in such expenses during the same period in 2016.

 

Our expenses during the three months ended November 30, 2017 consisted of $117,690 in management-related consulting fees, $16,396 in professional fees, $6,139 in trust and filing fees, $5,700 in rent, $2,820 in interest on advances from related parties/shareholders, $2,480 in office and miscellaneous expenses, $1,245 in travel and entertainment expenses, $247 in marketing expenses and $36,547 in foreign exchange loss.

Apart from the $42,177 foreign exchange difference between the two periods, our expenses were relatively consistent from period-to-period.

 

The significant management-related consulting fees we incurred over both periods were paid to our principal executive officers and directors and one consultant who provides management-related services to us and is also a major shareholder.

 

Other Items

 

During the year ended August 31, 2017, we incurred a patent writedown in the amount of $3,381,362 associated with the U.S., Australian, Canadian and Chinese patents, as well as a writedown of amounts receivable in the amount of $20,332. These were offset to some extent by a $9,333 gain associated with the revaluation of certain outstanding warrants to purchase shares of our common stock that are denominated in U.S. dollars.

 

During the three months ended November 30, 2017, we incurred a writedown of amounts receivable in the amount of $5,746 and a $27,067 gain associated with the revaluation of certain outstanding warrants to purchase shares of our common stock for the reason described above.

 

Net Loss

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of November 30, 2017, we had $44,149 in cash, $159,436 in current assets, $1,457,325 in total assets, $2,967,136 in current liabilities, $3,170,455 in total liabilities and a working capital deficiency of $2,807,700. As of that date, we also had an accumulated deficit of $11,189,751.

 

During the three months ended November 30, 2017, we spent $12,560 in net cash on operating activities, compared to $156,255 in net cash spending on operating activities during the same period in the prior year. The decrease of approximately 92% in our cash spending on operating activities between the two periods was primarily attributable to the decrease in our net loss as described above, as adjusted for certain changes in our assets and liabilities, and in particular an increase of $136,639 in our accounts payable and accrued liabilities from period-to-period.

All of the cash we spent on financing activities during the current period was in the form of stock stock issuance costs, whereas substantially all of the cash we received during the same period in the prior year was in the form of proceeds from the issuance of our common stock ($395,580), less certain stock issuance costs ($19,899) and related party/shareholder advance repayments ($38,000).

 

During the three months ended November 30, 2017, our cash decreased by $18,995 due to a combination of our operating, investing and financing activities.

 

Plan of Operations

 

Our plan of operations over the next 12 months is to continue the process initiated by ZHC to design, manufacture and commercialize the Notox system and its features. We expect to work closely with the Clinic in this regard, and anticipate that we will require at least US$4,675,000 to carry out our plan, as follows:

 

Description  Amount
(US$)
 
Design, testing and prototyping the Notox unit (including $111,200 in milestone payments to RBC)   600,000 
Design, testing and prototyping the Notox treatment probe   1,400,000 
Acquisition costs payable to ZHC   450,000 
Human trial expenses   950,000 
FDA Section 510(k) notification costs and CE marking expenses   750,000 
Marketing and inventory expenses   525,000 
Total   4,675,000 

 

In addition, over the next 12 months our plan of operations through Tropic Spa is to carry out a complete evaluation of the home tanning system’s potential and to develop the commercial side of the tanning business, including through possible licensing arrangements both domestically and abroad. We do not anticipate spending any specific amounts for these purposes, as the evaluation and development described above will be covered by our general and administrative expenses described below.

 

We expect to incur the following general and administrative expenses over the next 12 months. These expenses are reasonably consistent with those from prior periods, as adjusted to reflect the expected increase in our operations and the costs of maintaining our status as a public company.

Description  Amount
($)
 
Professional fees and filing fees   120,000 
Management-related consulting fees   500,000 
Rent (including utilities)   30,000 
Travel and entertainment expenses   25,000 
Office and miscellaneous expenses   25,000 
Total   700,000 

 

We do not currently have sufficient funds to carry out our entire plan of operations, so we intend to meet the balance of our cash requirements for the next 12 months through a combination of debt financing and equity financing through private placements. Currently we are active in contacting broker/dealers in Canada and elsewhere regarding possible financing arrangements; however, we do not currently have any agreements in place to complete any private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any such financings. If we are unsuccessful in obtaining sufficient funds through our capital raising efforts, we may review other financing options, although we cannot provide any assurance that any such options will be available to us or on terms reasonably acceptable to us. Further, if we are unable to secure any additional financing then we plan to reduce the amount that we spend on our operations, including management-related consulting fees and other general and administrative expenses, so as not to exceed the capital resources available to us.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost, computed using the first-in, first-out method, or market. If the cost of inventory exceeds its market value, a provision is made currently for the difference between the cost and market value. Our inventory consists of finished goods, components and supplies.

 

Equipment, Net

 

Equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset. Mould equipment is depreciated at 20% on a declining-balance basis. The website is depreciated on a straight-line basis over five years. One-half of these rates are used in the year of acquisition. Replacements and major improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed of and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Patents

 

The US Patent is recorded at the value attributed to the shares issued by TSI in connection with its acquisition less accumulated amortization and impairment writedowns. The US Patent was issued on September 29, 2009 and is effective until September 29, 2026. The Australian, Canadian and Chinese Patents are recorded at the application costs incurred less accumulated amortization and impairment writedowns. The Australian Patent was issued on October 16, 2014 and is effective until April 5, 2027. The Canadian Patent was issued on June 21, 2016 and is effective until April 5, 2027. The Chinese Patent was issued on December 28, 2016 and is effective until February 1, 2033. Upon expiration, the patents can be extended subject to certain changes required to secure the extension. Although the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors (such as stability of the industry, technological advances and legislative action that results in an uncertain or changing regulatory environment) can have an adverse effect on the industry and our product, management is not currently aware of any known adverse factors that will affect us in the future.

Costs incurred for patents which are in the process of being completed will be amortized over the life of the patent when the patent is issued.

 

We do not believe that there are any limits to how long our Home Mist Tanning units can sell in the market place. While we expect to be able to secure an extension to our patents prior to expiry, this cannot be predicted with certainty at this time. Accordingly, management has determined that the best estimate of the useful life of the US, Australian, Canadian and Chinese Patents are 17, 13, 11 and 16 years, respectively. At this time, we do not believe that the patents will have a residual value at the end of their useful lives.

 

License Agreement

 

The License Agreement is recorded at estimated fair value plus acquisition costs less accumulated amortization. The term of the License Agreement continues until the expiration of the last to expire of the Licensed Patents (as defined in the License Agreement). All costs related to the development of the licensed technology are expensed as incurred.

 

The technology licensed by Notox is a platform that provides us access to four large market segments or verticals (derma, pain, body and headache) that include the fields of aesthetics, drug-free pain management, body contouring and perspiration control. Based on management’s experience, it takes approximately two years to fully develop each vertical, with each vertical being developed in sequence. Accordingly, management’s best estimate of the amortization period for the License Agreement is eight years.

 

Amortization and Impairment

 

Definite-lived intangible assets are required to be amortized using a method that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed or utilized. At this time, management is not able to determine with any amount of certainty the number of Home Mist Tanning units that will be sold over the useful lives of the patents. Accordingly, the patents were being amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of their useful lives. The License Agreement is being amortized over eight years based on management’s best estimate of the time required to develop the four verticals as explained above.

 

Intangible assets subject to amortization are required to be reviewed for impairment. An impairment loss must be recognized if the intangible asset’s carrying amount is not recoverable and the carrying amount exceeds fair value. We apply the following three-step process to identify, recognize and measure impairment of intangible assets:

 

  Consider whether indicators of impairment are present indicating that the intangible assets’ carrying amount might not be recoverable;
  If indicators are present, perform a recoverability test by comparing the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the intangible assets to their carrying amounts; and
  If the undiscounted cash flows used in the recoverability test are less than the intangible assets’ carrying amount, determine the intangible assets’ fair value and recognize an impairment loss if the carrying amount exceeds fair value.

Because of the unique nature of a patent and a license agreement, income-producing definite-lived intangible assets, the calculation of cash flows can be very difficult to estimate. In this case, the estimated cash flows reflect the direct revenue expected to be generated by the patents and the License Agreement as well as an allocation of expenses.

 

Foreign Currency

 

Our functional currency and the functional currency of our subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar. Our consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars.

 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the period-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items or on settlement of monetary items are recognized in the loss in the period in which they arise.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

 

Going Concern

 

Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies we will continue to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business. As at November 30, 2017, we had a working capital deficiency of $2,807,700 and an accumulated deficit of $11,189,751. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from our stockholders, our ability to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Not required.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us 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 rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As of the end of the period covered by this Report, management, with the participation of our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon this evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to certain deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. These deficiencies include the fact that we have no audit committee, traditionally have had no independent directors, and do not have a system in place to review and monitor internal control over financial reporting.

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that a reasonable possibility exists that a material misstatement of our financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The deficiencies described above constitute, both individually and in the aggregate, a material weakness given their potential impact on our financial reporting and internal control over financial reporting.

 

Management is currently evaluating remediation plans for the deficiencies and will implement changes as time and financial resources allow.

 

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) during the period ended November 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
