1. Company Overview and Basis of Presentation

 

Nature and History of Operations

 

Notox Technologies Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on October 29, 2007. The Company has transitioned into developing, commercializing and promoting its patented Notox aesthetic and drug free pain management platform. The Company’s goals are to market a credible, non-toxic alternative to Botox and subsequently develop other features of its Notox technology such as drug-free pain management, body countering, skin tightening and anti-perspiration. In addition, the Company is seeking to build its distribution capabilities for other medical and aesthetic products around the world.

 

On June 28, 2013, the Company completed a reverse takeover transaction with Tropic Spa Inc. (“TSI”), a private Ontario corporation that manufactured and sold 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.

 

On June 13, 2016, the Company completed an asset acquisition transaction 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.

 

On December 27, 2018, the automatic expiration date for the preferred shares of 1894632 Ontario Inc. (“Subco”) issued in connection with the TSI reverse takeover transaction was extended to December 31, 2020.

 

On December 1, 2019, the Company entered into an option and put agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”) with Xthetica Inc. (“NewCo”), a newly incorporated Nevada corporation, and the sole shareholder of NewCo (the “NewCo Shareholder”) pursuant to which the NewCo Shareholder granted the Company the sole and exclusive right and option to purchase all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of NewCo (the “NewCo Stock”) in exchange for the issuance of an aggregate of up to 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase up to 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The option is exercisable by the Company in tranches over a period of three years beginning on January 1, 2021.

 

Each share issued upon the exercise of an option will be issued at a deemed price per share equal to the value of the Company’s common stock on the OTCQB (or such other stock exchange or quotation medium on which the shares are then trading) on the date of issuance, while each warrant issued upon the exercise of an option will be exercisable into one share of the Company’s common stock at a price of US$1.40 per share for a period of three years from the date of issuance, subject to standard adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and the like.

 

Pursuant to the Definitive Agreement, the Company granted the NewCo Shareholder a corresponding series of put rights covering the NewCo Stock, also exercisable in tranches over a period of three years beginning on January 1, 2021. Each put right allows the NewCo Shareholder to cause the Company to purchase up to a certain number of shares of NewCo Stock in exchange for the issuance of a certain number of shares of the Company’s common stock plus warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s stock on the same terms as described above. The exercise of each put right is subject to Xthetica Canada Inc. (“Xthetica CA”), a newly incorporated Canadian federal corporation and subsidiary of the Company, achieving certain EBITDA milestones in each of its financial years, as reflected in the audited financial statements of Xthetica CA.

 

Assuming the full exercise of the option or put rights, of which there is no guarantee, NewCo will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. To date, no option or put rights have been exercised.

 

Concurrent with the execution of the Definitive Agreement, the Company entered into an assignment agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”) with Xthetica Inc., an Ontario corporation owned by the NewCo Shareholder (the “Assignor”), pursuant to which the Assignor assigned all of its rights, title and interest in and to certain of its assets to Xthetica CA.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Xthetica CA since the acquisition date. Please refer to Note 5 for further details.

1. Company Overview and Basis of Presentation (continued)

 

Going Concern

 

As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has a deficit of $13,120,246 (August 31, 2019 - $12,418,531) since inception, a working capital deficiency of $2,843,648 (August 31, 2019 - $3,586,763) and a stockholders’ deficiency of $812,058 (August 31, 2019 - $2,827,020). 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 condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

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 CEO and President have committed to providing financing if and when necessary to fund the operating expenses for the year ended August 31, 2020.

 

Basis of Presentation and Measurement

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of SEC Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the years ended August 31, 2019 and 2018 and their accompanying notes.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are expressed in Canadian Dollars (“CAD”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. Operating results for the six months ended February 29, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending August 31, 2020.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

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

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US 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 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.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Carrying values of cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, advances from related parties/shareholders, stock purchase warrants, license assignment fee and accrued interest payable, due to the clinic and stock subscribed in advance approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items.

 

Business Combination

 

Acquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The Company measures goodwill as the fair value of the consideration transferred, including the recognized amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, less the net recognized amount of the identifiable assets and liabilities assumed, all measured as of the acquisition date.

 

The Company determines the fair value of the consideration based on the fair value of the net assets acquired. Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Company incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, definite-life intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Subsequent expenditures are capitalized only when they increase the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which they relate. All other expenditures are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

 

Intangible assets have been amortized based on the useful life as below:

 

Patents - 8 years; and

Trademarks, License Agreement and customer base - 5 years

3. 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 Company’s only financial instrument that is classified as Level 1 is cash. Stock purchase warrants are valued as Level 2. The fair value of the other financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying value due to the short-term nature of the instruments. Due to the Clinic’s fair value approximates its carrying amount as the amounts are accrued.

4. License Agreement, Net

 

Under the License Agreement, Notox has an 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. Royalties and other payments are payable quarterly. Notox is required to achieve two commercial milestones: first commercial sale within nine months following regulatory approval, and regulatory filings submitted to regulatory authorities by November 30, 2019. The Clinic and Notox are working on completing an amendment to the License Agreement that would extend the November 30, 2019 deadline referenced above, based on the clear development milestones and schedule.

 

As of February, 29, 2020, all accrued and unreimbursed patenting costs totaled $274,773 (August 31, 2019 - $264,113). 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.

 

Pursuant to above, the gross carrying value of the License Agreement is as follows:

5. Business Combination

 

On December 1, 2019, the Company entered into the Definitive Agreement with NewCo and the NewCo Shareholder, and concurrently, Xthetica CA entered into the Assignment Agreement with the Assignor. (Note 1)

 

The transaction was accounted for as a business combination, as the group of assets of the Assignor met the definition of a business. No transaction costs were incurred and expensed as a result of the acquisition. On completion of the business combination, the Company determined the fair value of the consideration based on the fair value of the net assets acquired. Due to the timing of the acquisition, the fair values assigned to the net assets acquired are preliminary and may be revised by the Company within 12 months from the date of acquisition as additional information is received.

Expected stock price volatility   100,00%   100.00%
Expected life of warrants   1.9 years    0.02 years 

 

12. Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company’s future results of operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Factors that could affect its future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from expectations include, but are not limited to: current economic conditions; the Company’s degree of success in securing regulatory approval and marketing products developed pursuant to the License Agreement; increasing competition; and dependence on its existing management and key personnel.

 

13. Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 842, Leases”, to introduce amendments which will affect the effective dates of the above noted Topics. The Company is evaluating the impact this standard will have on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments”, to introduce amendments which will affect the recognition and measurement of financial instruments, including derivatives and hedging. Only Topic 4 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the impact this standard will have on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, “Leases (Topic 842)”, to introduce amendments which will affect all lessors that are not manufactures or dealers, and those which are depository and lending entities. The amendments in this update amend Topic 842, and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of this pronouncement on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Changes to Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements”, which will improve the effectiveness of disclosure requirements for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The standard removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements, and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company will be evaluating the impact this standard will have on the Company’s financial statements.

 

14. Contingent Liability

 

Pursuant to the reverse takeover transaction with TSI, the Company may be required to acquire up to 296,500 common shares of TSI, being those TSI shares still outstanding, in exchange for 148,250 preferred shares of Subco on a one-for-two basis. Such preferred shares would then be exchangeable on the same basis as the 49,851,751 Subco preferred shares currently outstanding. See Note 11.

15. Subsequent Event

 

The Company’s management has evaluated subsequent events up to May 29, 2020, the filing date of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, pursuant to the requirements of ASC 855 and has determined that there have been events that have occurred that would require a disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Subsequent to February 29, 2020, the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus identified as COVID-19 has resulted in a widespread health crisis that has affected economies and financial markets around the world. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve. Management is actively monitoring the global situation and its effects on the sector and the Company’s financial position and operations. To the date of the issuance of these financial statements, the Company is still assessing the potential risks and uncertainties arising from COVID-19, which will be accounted for when reliable estimates become available. Actual effects will depend on many factors beyond the control and knowledge of management.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) contains forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are contained principally in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of this Report. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “anticipates”, “believes”, “seeks”, “could”, “estimates”, “expects”, “intends”, “may”, “plans”, “potential”, “predicts”, “projects”, “should”, “would” and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are based on assumptions and subject to risks and uncertainties. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Such statements may include, but are not limited to, information related to: anticipated operating results; relationships with our customers; consumer demand; financial resources and condition; changes in revenues; changes in profitability; changes in accounting treatment; cost of sales; selling, general and administrative expenses; interest expense; the ability to produce the liquidity or enter into agreements to acquire the capital necessary to continue our operations and take advantage of opportunities; legal proceedings and claims; and the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Also, forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this Report. You should read this Report and the documents that we reference and file or furnish as exhibits to this Report completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements publicly, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies and financial markets globally, leading to an economic downturn. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including ours. This outbreak could decrease spending, adversely affect demand for our products and harm our business and results of operations. It is not possible for us to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on our business or results of operations at this time.

 

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 Notox Technologies Corp. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

 

This Report includes our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended February 29, 2020. 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 condensed 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 condensed 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 condensed 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.

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). Since late 2019, we have been engaged in discussions with the Clinic to extend the November 30, 2019 date referenced in the preceding sentence. Those discussions have been delayed by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated travel restrictions, but are still ongoing.

 

Through Tropic Spa, we have finalized the design of a personal tanning product and applied for and acquired patents for it in the United States (the “US Patent”), Canada, Australia and China. The product consists of a unique tanning system designed for spas, gyms, clinics and 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. We are currently seeking to establish licensing opportunities for Tropic Spa’s intellectual property, but have not entered into any formal arrangements as of the date of this Report.

 

On December 1, 2019, we entered into an option and put agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”) with Xthetica Inc. (“NewCo”), a newly incorporated Nevada corporation, and Manny Kapur, the sole shareholder of NewCo, pursuant to which Mr. Kapur granted us the sole and exclusive right and option to purchase all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of NewCo (the “NewCo Stock”) in exchange for the issuance of an aggregate of up to 10,000,000 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase up to 10,000,000 shares of our common stock. The option is exercisable by us in tranches over a period of three years beginning on January 1, 2021.

 

Each share issued upon the exercise of an option will be issued at a deemed price per share equal to the value of our common stock on the OTCQB (or such other stock exchange or quotation medium on which the shares are then trading) on the date of issuance, while each warrant issued upon the exercise of an option will be exercisable into one share of our common stock at a price of US$1.40 per share for a period of three years from the date of issuance, subject to standard adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and the like.

 

17
   

 

Pursuant to the Definitive Agreement, we granted Mr. Kapur a corresponding series of put rights covering the NewCo Stock, also exercisable in tranches over a period of three years beginning on January 1, 2021. Each put right allows Mr. Kapur to cause us to purchase up to a certain number of shares of NewCo Stock in exchange for the issuance of a certain number of shares of our common stock plus warrants to purchase shares of our stock on the same terms as described above. Importantly, the exercise of each put right is subject to Xthetica Canada Inc. (“Xthetica CA”), a newly incorporated Canadian federal corporation and our subsidiary, achieving certain EBITDA milestones in each of its financial years, as reflected in the audited financial statements of Xthetica CA.

 

Assuming the full exercise of the option or put rights, of which there is no guarantee, NewCo will become our wholly owned subsidiary.

 

In connection with the execution and delivery of the Definitive Agreement, Xthetica Inc. (“Xthetica”), a private Ontario, Canada corporation owned by Mr. Kapur, entered into an assignment agreement with Xthetica CA, in the form attached as Appendix 1 to the Definitive Agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”), pursuant to which Xthetica assigned 100% of its right, title and interest in and to certain assets to Xthetica CA. The assets include Xthetica’s rights and obligations under a series of license and distribution agreements with manufacturers of medical aesthetics products, certain of Xthetica’s inventory, and the goodwill of Xthetica.

 

Xthetica CA provides products, services and training to a large number of aesthetic clinics and nurses in Canada, mainly in Ontario, Quebec and to a lesser extent, Manitoba, Alberta and British Columbia. The company uses an internal sales force and works closely and together with manufacturers and distribution partners to educate and train for new product launches.

19
   

 

As was the case during the three months ended February 29, 2020, substantially all of the changes described above were due to the increase in our operations, through Xthetica CA, following the closing of the Definitive Agreement and Assignment Agreement.

 

Other Items

 

During the six months ended February 29, 2020, we generated a $1,776 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 same period in the prior year, we incurred a writedown of amounts receivable in the amount of $8,753, a $46,083 gain associated with the revaluation of certain outstanding warrants to purchase shares of our common stock that are denominated in U.S. dollars, and a $109,808 gain on the expiration of certain outstanding warrants to purchase shares of our common stock that are also denominated in U.S. dollars.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of February 29, 2020, we had $59,565 in cash, $2,029,166 in current assets, $4,781,711 in total assets, $4,872,814 in current liabilities, $5,593,769 in total liabilities and a working capital deficiency of $2,843,648. As of that date, we also had an accumulated deficit of $13,120,246.

 

During the six months ended February 29, 2020, we spent $29,526 in net cash on operating activities, compared to $100,459 in net cash spending on operating activities during the same period in the prior year. The decrease of approximately 70% in our spending between the two periods was primarily attributable to the increase in our net loss as adjusted for certain changes in our assets and liabilities from period-to-period, an in particular, increases in our inventory, amounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

 

During the six months ended February 29, 2020, we received $75,915 in net cash from investing activities, substantially all of which was in the form of cash acquired upon the closing of the Xthetica acquisition. We did not spend any cash on investing activities during the same period in the prior year.

 

During the six months ended February 29, 2020, we spent $1,667 in net cash on financing activities, compared to receiving $198,113 in net cash from financing activities during the same period in the prior year.

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$5,025,000 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   800,000 
Human trial expenses   950,000 
FDA Section 510(k) notification costs and CE marking expenses   750,000 
Marketing and inventory expenses   525,000 
Total   5,025,000 

 

In addition, over the next 12 months our plan of operations through Tropic Spa is to create licensing opportunities for Tropic Spa’s intellectual property, and in particular, its U.S., Canadian, Australian and Chinese patents. We plan to target existing and highly-recognized brands in the tanning industry, both locally and internationally, that may be drawn to Tropic Spa’s technology in order to better serve their existing customers and enhance their competitive advantage. We do not anticipate spending any specific amounts for this purpose, as the creation of such opportunities will be covered by our general and administrative expenses described below.

 

We have not yet prepared a detailed 12-month plan of operations for Xthetica CA due to business disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. We expect to prepare an achievable plan upon the receipt of additional information from our manufacturing and distribution partners, as well as applicable levels of government, over the coming months and anticipate including it in our next quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

 

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   333,000 
Rent (including utilities)   30,000 
Travel and entertainment expenses   25,000 
Office and miscellaneous expenses   25,000 
Total   533,000 

 

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

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, definite-life intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Subsequent expenditures are capitalized only when they increase the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which they relate. All other expenditures are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

 

Intangible assets have been amortized based on the useful life as below:

 

Patents - 8 Years; and

Trademarks, License Agreement and customer base - 5 years

 

Foreign Currency 

 

Our functional currency and the functional currency of our subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar. Our condensed 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 February 29, 2020, we had a working capital deficiency of $2,843,648 and an accumulated deficit of $13,120,246. 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 February 29, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

We are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of our executive officers or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting us, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or our officers or directors of those of our subsidiaries’ in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.
