1. Development Stage Company 

 

Global Health Ventures Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 25, 2006 under the name Acting Scout Inc. The Company changed its name to Goldtown Investments Corp. on September 20, 2007 and on October 6, 2008 changed its name to Global Health Ventures Inc. The Company is located in British Columbia, Canada. The Company is a development stage specialty pharmaceutical company that is in the business of acquiring and licensing current outstanding and promising healthcare related technologies for further development and re-licensing to major pharmaceutical companies.  The Company is a Development Stage Company, as defined under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915 “Development Stage Entities”.      

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated significant revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate significant earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations and the attainment of profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As at August 31, 2011, the Company has never generated any significant revenue and has accumulated losses of $10,668,645 since inception. These consolidated 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 the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.      

 

The Company’s common stock trades on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) under the symbol “GHLV”. 

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

 

a) Basis of Presentation 

 

These consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in U.S. dollars. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary, Posh Cosmeceuticals Ltd. (“Posh”), and its inactive wholly-owned subsidiary, Global Health (BC) Ventures Inc.  

 

b) Interim Financial Statements 

 

The interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year or for any future period. These financial statements should be used in conjunction with the Company’s annual audited financial statements. 

 

c) Use of Estimates 

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to deferred income tax asset valuation allowance, depreciation of property, plant and equipment, stock based compensation, convertible debenture, and valuation of patents and medical licenses. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

 

d) Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share 

 

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive. 

 

e) Revenue Recognition 

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition”. The Company has never generated any revenue since inception. 

 

f) Comprehensive Loss 

 

ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. 

 

g) Cash and Cash Equivalents 

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. 

 

h) Property, Plant and Equipment 

 

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided annually at rates calculated to write off the assets over their estimated useful lives as follows: 

 

Laboratory equipment 20%   diminishing balance
Computer hardware 45%   diminishing balance
Office furniture and fixtures 20%   diminishing balance
Office machines and equipment 20%   diminishing balance

 

In the year of acquisition, these rates are reduced by one-half. 

 

i) Medical Technology Licenses 

 

The Company amortizes the cost of acquired medical technology licenses over the lesser of the license term or the estimated period of benefit. The term of the current medical license is the later of the date on which all the licensed patents have expired or been revoked without a right of further appeal, and the date on which the marketing for the license agreements and the licenses granted under the agreement is seized. The medical technology licenses are being amortized over 7 years. 

 

j) Long-Lived Assets 

 

In accordance with ASC 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment”, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. 

 

Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

 

k) Financial Instruments 

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, amounts due to a related party, a convertible note, and amounts due to/from shareholder. The fair value of financial instruments cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, amounts due to a related party and amounts due to/from shareholder were estimated to approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s long-term convertible note approximates its fair value based on current market borrowing rates. Accordingly, the long-term convertible note is classified as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. 

 

The Company’s operations will be in Canada and the United States, resulting in exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. The financial risk is the risk to the Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk. 

 

l) Income Taxes 

 

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, current taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable for the current period. 

 

Deferred income taxes are provided for based on the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases as well as the benefit of losses available to be carried forward to future years for tax purposes. 

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be covered or settled. The effect of deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not be realized. 

 

m) Foreign Currency Translation 

 

The functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar with the reported amounts being stated in the United States dollar. In accordance with ASC 830 “Foreign Currency Matters”, assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet dates. Income and expense items are translated at average annual rates of exchange. The resulting translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity. 

 

n) Research and development costs 

 

Research costs are expensed in the period incurred. Development costs are expensed in the period incurred unless the Company believes a development project meets generally accepted accounting criteria for deferral and amortization. No such costs have been deferred as at August 31, 2011 and 2010. 

 

o) Stock-based Compensation 

 

In accordance with ASC 718 “Stock Compensation”, the Company accounts for share-based payments using the fair value method. Shares of common stock issued to third parties for non-cash consideration are valued based on the fair market value of the services provided or the fair market value of the common stock on the measurement date, whichever is more readily determinable.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

 

Recently Issued     

 

In March 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-11, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives" (codified within ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”). ASU 2010-11 improves disclosures originally required under SFAS No. 161. ASU 2010-11 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2010.  

 

In April 2010, the FASB published guidance on defining a milestone and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue recognition for research and development transactions. Consideration that is contingent on achievement of a milestone in its entirety may be recognized as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved only if the milestone is judged to meet certain criteria to be considered substantive. Milestones should be considered substantive in their entirety and may not be bifurcated. An arrangement may contain both substantive and nonsubstantive milestones that should be evaluated individually. The amendments are effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods with those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. 

 

Future Pronouncements     

 

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) is considering timelines for the use of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) by SEC issuers. The Company expects to adopt IFRS as its reporting standard when the SEC requires its domestic registrants in the U.S. to transition to IFRS. The Company has not assessed the impact of this potential change on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.  

 

In May 2011, the FASB provided amendments to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The amendments provide clarification and/or additional requirements relating to the following a) application of the highest and best use and valuation premise concepts, b) measurement of the fair value of instruments classified in an entity’s shareholders’ equity, c) measurement of the fair value of financial instruments that are managed within a portfolio, d) application of premiums and discounts in a fair value measurement, and e) disclosures about fair value measurements. These amendments will be effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of the amendments to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 

 

In June 2011, the FASB provided amendments requiring an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a singular continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but continuous statements, eliminating the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders equity. Additionally, the amendments require an entity to present reclassification adjustments on the face of the financial statements from other comprehensive income to net income. These amendments will be effective retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of the amendments to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

4. Convertible Debt 

 

On March 19, 2010, the Company sold to one investor (the “Lender”) a $4,200,000 convertible debenture (the “Debenture”) due March 18, 2014, unless converted in accordance with the repayment terms prior to such date. The debenture bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum payable on maturity, is unsecured and ranks equally to any of the Company’s existing and future unsecured debts.     

 

The Debenture was sold with a 25% discount from face value for a net book value of $3,150,000.  The $3,150,000 consists of cash of $400,000 paid at closing and eleven investor notes in the amount of $250,000 each. The investor notes are mandatorily pre-payable in sequence, at the rate of one note per month commencing on the seven month anniversary of the closing date. In March 2011, at the Lender’s discretion, two monthly investments notes were received by the Company. For the three months ended August 31, 2011, two investor notes were received by the Company. As at August 31, 2011, all eleven investor notes payable under the Debenture had been received by the Company. 

 

Beginning six months from the closing date, the Lender may require the Company to repay the principal amount of the Debenture plus accrued interest, in full or in part, in fully-paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock at a rate per share equal to the market price as calculated under the Securities Purchase Agreement governing the Debenture (the “Agreement”). The Lender is not permitted to deliver a request for repayment where the dollar amount of the request for repayment would exceed 125% of the amounts outstanding under the Debenture. In September 2010, the conversion price was amended, providing for an additional 10% discount to the market price as defined under the Agreement.   

 

As long as any amounts due under the Debenture are outstanding, the Company is prohibited, unless consented to by the Lender, from selling, leasing or otherwise disposing of any of its assets other than in its ordinary course of business, from merging or consolidating with any other person unless the Debenture is assumed by the surviving entity and from adopting any plan or arrangement for the dissolution or liquidation of the Company.  Debenture covenants also prohibit the Company from redeeming or repurchasing any of its capital stock or making any advance or loan to any person, firm or corporation except for reasonable business expenses advanced to Company employees or independent contractors in the ordinary course of business. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company also has to reserve for issuance 50,000,000 shares of common stock as may be issuable from time to time upon a request for repayment of the Debenture in common stock. As at May 31, 2011, only 29,016,808 shares of the Company’s common stock were available for issuance. 

 

On June 16 2011, the holders of a majority of the Company’s issued and outstanding stock approved an amendment to the Company’s bylaws and an increase in the Company’s authorized capital from 196,000,000 shares of common stock to 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock. 

 

Events of default under the terms of the Agreement include the following: 

a) Default of payment of interest or principal or any amount due under the Agreement; 

b) Material default, misrepresentation, or material breach of the covenants described in the paragraph above; 

c) Any transfer, conveyance, or assignment of substantial Company or subsidiary assets; 

d) Any money judgment, writ of warrant or attachment, or similar process against the Company in excess of $100,000; 

e) Failure to issue common stock within 5 business days of receipt of a written request for repayment of outstanding amounts in common stock;  

f) The average dollar volume of common stock for any consecutive 10 day trading period falls below $40,000 per day; 

g) Control of the whole or substantial portion of the Company by any governmental agencies; 

h) Order by a court adjudging the Company bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization; 

i) Failure of the Company to continually maintain its status as a reporting company under the federal securities laws or as a DWAC eligible issuer; and 

j) Failure to timely file reports required to be filed by the SEC.

4. Convertible Debt (continued)   

 

Upon occurrence of one of the above events, the amount due under the Debenture will be immediately due and payable at the rate of 110% of the sum of the principal outstanding immediately prior to the event of default and all interest, fees, costs and penalties. These amounts will accrue interest at the rate of 12% per annum until payment. 

 

On July 16, 2010, the Company had an event of default under the terms of the Debenture. The Lender waived the default, and in exchange, raised the interest rate on the Debenture from 6% per annum to 9% per annum. 

 

On September 2, 2010, the Company had an event of default under the terms of the Debenture. The Lender waived the default, and in exchange, raised the interest rate on the Debenture from 9% per annum to 12% per annum and negotiated a 10% discount on the market price as defined under the agreement for all conversions of the Debenture into common stock. 

 

Subsequent to August 31, 2011, on September 19, 2011, the Company had an event of default under the terms of the March 19, 2010 Debenture, as the Company did not maintain its DWAC eligibility. See Note 13: Contingencies, and Note 14: Subsequent Events, for additional information. 

 

On June 16, 2011, the Company sold to the Lender a convertible note (the “Note”) in the amount of $4,338,833. The Note was sold with a 25% discount from face value for a net book value of $3,250,000, consisting of an initial cash payment of $250,000 paid at closing and twelve investor notes in the amount of $250,000 each. The Note matures in 48 months and bears interest at a rate of 6% per annum while each investor note matures in 50 months and bears interest at the rate of 5% per annum. In the event of a default, the outstanding balance of the Note will accrue interest at the rate of 12% per annum. Events of default under the terms of the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement governing the Note (the “Note Agreement”) include the following: 

 

a) Failure to make payments of costs, fees, interest, principal, or other amount due hereunder; 

b) Failure to transfer or pledge the investor notes; 

c) Failure to deliver conversion shares or shares of common stock to be delivered upon exercise of the warrant; 

d) Breach of any covenant, obligation, condition or agreement contained in the Note or any of the other transaction documents;  

e) Falsification of any representations and warrants made or furnished by or on behalf of the Company to the Lender in writing;  

f) Failure to pay debts and/or voluntary bankruptcy; 

g) Involuntary bankruptcy; 

h) If any governmental or regulator authority takes on institutes any action that will materially affect the Company’s financial condition, operations or ability to pay or perform the Company’s obligations under the Note; and  

i) The Company’s failure to maintain authorized but unissued shares of common stock equal to at least 200% of the number of shares of common stock that would be needed to fully convert the Note and exercise the warrant at any given time after the date that is 30 days from the date of the Note.  

 

The Lender has the right to convert the outstanding balance of the Note, in whole or in part, into shares of the Company’s common stock which will be valued at the market value. As part of the transaction, the Lender also acquired warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock equal to $250,000, exercisable until June 30, 2016. During the three months ended August 31, 2011, the Company received the $250,000 initial cash payment on the Note, and none of the twelve investor notes. 

 

Subsequent to August 31, 2011, on September 19 2011, the Company had an event of default under the terms of the Note. See Note 13: Contingencies, and Note 14: Subsequent Events, for additional information. 

 

In connection with the issuance of the Debenture, the Company incurred $952,250 of issuance costs which consisted of $895,250 of non-cash costs for warrants issued to the Lender and for warrants issued as a finder’s fee and $57,000 of cash costs for commissions and related professional fees.  Additional cash costs for commissions of $89,146 were incurred in the twelve month period ending May 31, 2011 and commissions of $8,716 were incurred in the three months ending August 31, 2011. These costs are being amortized as interest expense through March 18, 2014, the maturity date of the Debenture.

4. Convertible Debt (continued) 

 

In connection with the issuance of the June 16, 2011 Note, the Company incurred $266,405 of issuance costs which consisted of $241,404 of non-cash costs for warrants issued to the Lender and $25,001 of cash costs for commission and legal costs incurred on the upfront payment of the Note, received by the Company on the date of the issuance, June 16, 2011.  The non cash costs consisting of $241,404 for warrants issued to the Lender are being amortized as interest expense through June 30, 2016, the maturity date of the warrants. The non-cash costs incurred on the upfront payment are being amortized as interest expense through June 16, 2015, the maturity date of the Note. 

 

The Company has separately accounted for the liability and equity components of the Debenture and the Note by allocating the proceeds from the issuance of the instruments between the liability component and the beneficial conversion option, or equity component.  Based on this calculation, $1,565,912 had been allocated to the equity component on the Debenture, issued March 19, 2010, as at May 31, 2011. For the three months ending August 31, 2011, an additional $369,057 has been allocated to the equity component, $285,714 relating to the Debenture and $83,343 relating to the Note.  During the three month period ended August 31, 2011, the Company recorded aggregate amortization of the debt discount on the Debenture and the Note in the amount of $636,650, which was charged to interest expense. The following table presents the cumulative totals of both instruments, as at August 31, 2011:

5. Related Party Transactions (continued) 

 

e) Effective December 11, 2009, the Company issued an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of its common stock to the shareholders of Posh, a company controlled by the President of the Company, pursuant to a share exchange agreement dated June 12, 2009. The Company issued the securities to 27 non-U.S. persons (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933) in an offshore transaction relying on Regulation S and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. Due to the fact that the two companies were not dealing at arm’s length, and due to the transaction not being in the normal course of business, the transaction was recorded at the carrying value of the company acquired.  

 

The following table sets forth the allocation of the purchase price for the investment in Posh:

6. Deferred Financing Costs 

 

On March 19, 2010, the Company sold to one investor a $4,200,000 convertible debenture due March 18, 2014.  As part of the debenture financing the Company issued share purchase warrants to purchase up to $800,000 worth of common stock and also issued warrants to purchase 100,000 common shares of common stock as a finder’s fee. 

 

These warrants were valued at the date of issue of the debenture, March 19, 2010, using the Black-Scholes model utilizing the following assumptions: 

 

Risk-free interest rate   2.85%
Expected term to exercise   4 years 
Expected volatility of   253%
Expected dividend yield   0%

 

Based on this calculation $895,250 was recorded as a non cash deferred financing cost on the March 19, 2010 debenture and is being amortized over the term of the underlying convertible debenture of 48 months, due March 18, 2014, and charged to interest expense. 

 

On June 16, 2011, the Company sold to one investor a $4,338,833 convertible note due June 16, 2015.  As part of the note financing the Company issued share purchase warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock equal to $250,000. 

 

These warrants were valued at the date of issue of the note, June 16, 2011, using the Black-Scholes model utilizing the following assumptions: 

 

Risk-free interest rate   1.49%
Expected term to exercise   4.79  years 
Expected volatility of   208%
Expected dividend yield   0%

6. Deferred Financing Costs (continued) 

 

Based on this calculation $241,404 was recorded as a non cash deferred financing cost on the June 16, 2011 note and is being amortized over the remaining term of the warrants, expiring June 30, 2016, and charged to interest expense.     

 

For the three months ended August 31, 2011, amortization of the non cash warrants costs charged as interest expense on both the debenture and the note totaled $66,010. 

 

As at August 31, 2011, on a cumulative basis, the Company had also incurred direct cash costs relating to both financings of a total of $174,863 which were also recorded as deferred financing costs, and are being amortized over the remaining term of the corresponding instruments.

7. Income Taxes 

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method of tax allocation. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the future income tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases. Deferred income tax assets are evaluated periodically and if realization is not considered likely, a valuation allowance is provided.

On June 15, 2011, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation with the Nevada Secretary of State to designate 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s authorized but unissued preferred stock as Series “A” Preferred Stock. The Series “A” Preferred Stock ranks senior to any other series of preferred stock and common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, and carries with it the right to convert all or a portion of such stock into common stock. Each share of Series “A” Preferred Stock has voting rights and carries a voting weight equal to one hundred shares of common stock. Holders of Series “A” Preferred Stock are entitled to receive any declared dividends and holders of shares of common stock and Series “A” Preferred Stock can vote together as a single class. 

 

On June 15, 2011, 1,800,000 shares of the Company’s Series “A” Preferred Stock were issued to the President of the Company, pursuant to a debt conversion agreement, where the President converted $54,000 of debt into 1,800,000 shares, at a price of $0.03 per share.

Note A: Per the terms of the Note Agreement, the exercise price of the warrants granted June 16, 2011 is defined as the lesser of: 

 

(i) 100% of the average closing bid price for the three trading days with the lowest bid price reported by Bloomberg during the 20 trading days immediately prior to the exercise date; provided, however, that in the event the exercise price would be at any time be equal to less than $0.05 per share of common stock, the term 100% in the forgoing clause shall be replaced by 80% or; 

 

(ii) $0.10 per share of common stock. 

 

10. Stock Options 

 

On June 29, 2009, the Company granted 2,000,000 options to directors and officers of the Company. On November 12, 2010, the Company cancelled these options and reissued 5,200,000 options to directors and officers of the Company. Pursuant to ASC 718-20-35-8, cancellations with concurrent grants of replacement awards are to be treated as a modification of the terms of the cancelled award. As a result, compensation costs recorded in the quarter include the compensation cost of the original award and the incremental cost resulting from the modification. 

 

For the three months ending August 31, 2011, the fair value of the vested options of $42,326, under both the old plan and the new plan, has been expensed at August 31, 2011. The options are exercisable in full over the course of five years from date of grant, with 4% of the total number of options granted to the optionee vesting each month on a monthly basis beginning on the first day of the month following the date of grant, until the option is fully vested. As of August 31, 2011, 1,872,000 options under the new plan had vested and 3,328,000 were nonvested.

11. Fair Value Measures 

 

ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value: 

 

Level 1 

 

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 

 

Level 2 

 

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. 

 

Level 3 

 

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. 

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, amounts due to a related party, amounts due to/from shareholders, and a convertible note. Pursuant to ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, the fair value of the Company’s cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company believes that the recorded values of its financial instruments accounts payable and accrued liabilities, amount due to a related party, and amounts due to shareholders, approximate their current values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations. The Company’s convertible debt is classified as “Level 2” in the fair value hierarchy. The Company believes that the carrying value of the convertible debt approximates its fair value based on current market borrowing rates.

12. Restatement of Prior Comparative Quarter 

 

Subsequent to the quarter ending August 31, 2010, the Company identified that the compensation expense for the President of the Company for the three month period ended August 31, 2010 was overstated. In addition, during the review of the financial statements, the Company discovered that the accounting for the Debenture considered a beneficial conversion feature that was subsequently determined not to meet the criteria of a beneficial conversion feature. 

 

The impact of these restatements on the August 31, 2010 interim financial statements was as follows:

 

    August 31, 2010 
    As previously
reported
    Adjustment    As restated 
Deficit   5,927,087    (410,149)   5,516,938 
Convertible debenture   (488,890)   (16,757)   (505,647)
Accrued expenses   (477,159)   26,907    (450,252)
Additional paid up capital   (3,963,167)   400,000    (3,563,167)
Salary expense incurred   149,659    (55,210)   94,449 
Interest expense   335,083    (156,797)   178,286 

 

13. Contingencies 

 

On September 19, 2011, the Company had an event of default under the terms of the March 19, 2010 Debenture, as the Company did not maintain its DWAC eligibility. Furthermore, the Company had an event of default under the terms of the Note, since the Company is required to maintain a reserve of authorized but unissued shares equal to 200% of the number of shares of common stock necessary to fully convert the Note and warrants at any given time. New agreements are currently being drawn up between the Company and the Lender. 

 

14. Subsequent Events 

 

Subsequent to August 31, 2011, pursuant to the March 19, 2010 Debenture, the Company has allowed the Lender to convert approximately $147,887 of the Debenture, including principal and interest, into 15,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. 

 

On September 15, 2011, the Company entered into a debt conversion agreement with the President of the Company, pursuant to which the President converted $100,000 worth of debt into 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series “A” Preferred Stock at a price of $0.02 per share. 

 

On September 19, 2011, the Company had an event of default under the terms of the March 19, 2010 Debenture, as the Company did not maintain its DWAC eligibility. Furthermore, the Company had an event of default under the terms of the June 16, 2011 Note, since the Company is required to maintain a reserve of authorized but unissued shares equal to 200% of the number of shares of common stock shares necessary to fully convert the Note and warrants at any given time. New agreements are currently being drawn up between the Company and the Lender. 

 

On September 23, 2011, the Company completed a merger with its wholly owned subsidiary, Kedem Pharmaceuticals Inc., and formally assumed the subsidiary’s name by filing Articles of Merger with the Nevada Secretary of State. The subsidiary was incorporated entirely for the purpose of effecting the name change and the merger did not affect the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or corporate structure in any other way. 

 

On September 26, 2011, the Company completed a 1 for 20 reverse split of its common stock and a corresponding decrease in its authorized capital by filing of a Certificate of Change with the Nevada Secretary of State. As a result of the reverse split, the Company’s authorized common stock decreased from 1,000,000,000 shares to 50,000,000, and its issued and outstanding common stock decreased from 196,333,192 shares to 9,816,660. In order for the name change and reverse split to be recognized on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) must process the corporate actions.  The Company is in the process of submitting the required documentation to FINRA, but will continue to trade under the name Global Health Ventures Inc. and the symbol “GHLV” until such time as FINRA has declared the name change and reverse split effective.

Business Overview

 

We are a specialty pharmaceutical company that develops advanced next-generation drugs to displace current “blockbuster” drugs upon their loss of patent protection. Our core strength is our exclusive access to sublingual platform technology. This technology provides the foundation to design unique pharmaceuticals with properties that result in a market advantage through faster onset of action, increased availability, lower dosage, improved safety, fewer or less severe side effects, reduced dosing regiments, safer systems, taste masking and others. We believe these advantages will enable our products to establish themselves quickly in the market by displacing existing products in a relatively short period of time. Our lifestyle products are related to male sexual enhancement, anti-addiction and energy boosters.  Our therapeutic products are related to weight loss and pulmonary disease management. We work with products that are already approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”), but require better or faster absorption.

 

We also plan to reformulate existing products that currently have considerable side effects when manufactured with their current chemical formulation. We intend to develop these new products internally or license them from other pharmaceutical companies. We expect to have several products under development and we plan to bring them to the stages of partnership and co-marketing. Our most advanced product, X-Excite, has been contracted out to a manufacturing company in Romania to produce exclusively for the European market. This product has been manufactured and sent to a hospital in Bulgaria for human clinical trials. The clinical trials are supervised by Clinical Investigation Limited, a contract research organization incorporated in the United Kingdom.

 We are a multi-product company. Our current portfolio of products includes:

 

  1. X-Excite (male sexual enhancement drug)
  1. Relax-B (anti-stress drug)
  1. Nico-Z (nicotine replacement product)
  1. V-Energy (energy booster product)
  1. T-Slim (appetite suppressor drug)
  1. POS001 (growth of hair follicles product)
  1. POS002 (treatment of cellulite product)

X-Excite

 

X-Excite is a development stage sublingual formulation of sildenafil. Sildenafil is registered under the trade name of Viagra® and is currently marketed by Pfizer under patent protection until 2012/2013 (depending on the jurisdiction). Viagra® (sildenafil citrate) is indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, which is the inability to achieve or maintain a penile erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance.

 

Relax-B

 

This product utilizes propranolol as its active ingredient. Propranolol is an FDA approved drug for hypertension and anxiety attack prescribed worldwide. When it is used at a low dose, the product has a relaxant property and can reduce stress and anxiety. We have formulated propranolol to absorb sublingually and have used taste masking products to reduce the taste. Our plan is to develop this product once we secure further financing.

 

Nico-Z

 

Nico-Z is a sublingual formulation of nicotine designed for cigarette replacement. We are using a small dose of nicotine (about 5 times less than commercial nicotine) and plan to achieve a higher concentration of nicotine in the blood in a much shorter time span. The rapid absorption of nicotine will be beneficial for individuals craving cigarette or tobacco products. Nico-Z is not designed for smoking cessation.

 

V-Energy

 

This product is a sublingual formulation of vitamin B6/B12. Vitamin B6/B12 is a stimulus and anti-tiredness compound. This product is reported to be a stimulant several times more powerful than caffeine, yet does not produce the side effects of caffeine such as an increased heart rate and sleeping disorders. Vitamin B6/B12 is often used in cancer patients to help them be less tired and more energetic. Currently, vitamin B6/B12 is administered by injection or taken orally. Injection is not a convenient way for drug delivery and also carries certain risks including infection. A sublingual formulation would therefore likely be the most convenient and acceptable route of administration.

 

5
 

 

T-Slim

 

T-Slim is a novel formulation of catechin. Catechin is a flavonoid that is found in higher plants and green tea. Catechin is a major component in reducing appetite but has a poor oral absorption rate. A sublingual formulation should result in increased availability, thus, it would be most beneficial if used whenever a person feels hungry to reduce their desire for food appreciably.

 

POS001

 

This product is a growth factor which is believed to promote the growth of hair follicles. We intend to develop this product for hair growth.

 

POS002

 

This is an analog of vitamin K2 which is designed for the treatment of cellulite. We plan to develop this product once all of our other products have been developed.

 

Our primary research has been focused on developing our new formulation of drug delivery technology. We continue to improve drug bioavailability and formulations to maximize absorption. During the next 12 months, we intend to work on the formulation of our drugs, including the study and investigation of the rate of absorption into the blood stream. Further, we intend to evaluate the dose ratio between active chemicals and other ingredients. Our aim is to improve drug availability and maximize absorption, and we also intend to set out a formula for drug to body mass ratio. We plan to conduct research on other ingredients which can be used to enhance skin penetration.

 

The following sets forth information relating to the stage of development of our products:

 

Product Stage of Development Approximate Marketing Date
X-Excite Clinical Phase I 2013
Relax-B Filing for Phase I 2014
Nico-Z Research 2016
V-Energy Research 2016

X-Excite is our most advanced product and has been contracted out to a manufacturing company in Romania to produce exclusively for the European market. The product was manufactured in accordance with European regulatory guidelines and was sent to a hospital in Bulgaria for Phase I human clinical trials. The clinical trials were supervised by Clinical Investigation Limited, a contract research organization incorporated in the United Kingdom. The data from the clinical trials met our expectations and we plan to proceed with Phase III trials in June 2012. Phase III clinical trials of X-Excite are planned for 2012. We do not anticipate any hindrances to the progress of this product.

 

We have filed with regulatory bodies in Europe to conduct Phase I clinical trials for Relax-B and are awaiting the required approval in that regard. Our remaining products are in the early stages of development and we are conducting research for their development.

 

License Agreement

 

On March 15, 2009, we entered into a research contract with Globe Laboratories Inc., a company incorporated in British Columbia, Canada and controlled by two individuals related to Hassan Salari, our officer and director (Julian Salari and Frederick Salari), to engage Globe to conduct research on the sublingual technologies developed by Globe.

 

On March 15, 2010, we entered into the License Agreement with Globe pursuant to which we acquired the exclusive use of Globe’s sublingual technology for drug delivery for our products. We agreed to pay $50,000 per quarter to Globe from April 1, 2009 until the technology is put into commercial production, or the technologies are sold or sublicensed. In addition, for each product we develop using the same formulation, we agreed to pay to Globe the following fees:

 

  1. $25,000 upon the commencement of Phase I (drug safety and tolerability study);
  1. $250,000 upon the completion of Phase I;
  1. $1,000,000 upon the completion of Phase III (or similarly approved trials, such as 505(b)2) (drug concentration measurement in comparison to the existing formula);
  1. $3,500,000 upon the first anniversary of sale; and
  1. 2% of the net sales of all products licensed to us by Globe (the “Royalty Payments”).

All payments under the License Agreement are due within 30 days of such milestone, excluding the Royalty Payments, which are due 60 days following the end of the fiscal quarter in which the sales occur.

 

Plan of Operations

 

Our plan of operations over the next 12 months is to work on the formulation of our drugs. We anticipate that we will require approximately $2.25 million to pursue our plans over the next 12 months. We plan to obtain the necessary funds from equity or debt financings, as required.  However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the additional financing required, or any at all.  If we are not able to obtain additional financing, we may be required to scale back our plans or eliminate them altogether.  There can be no assurance that we will achieve our plans, or any of them.  Our expenditures for the next 12 months, excluding the cost of clinical trials, include:

Results of Operations

 

The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition for the three months ended August 31, 2011 should be read in conjunction with our interim consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in this report, as well as our most recent annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011. The financial information for the period ended August 31, 2010 included in this report has been restated as the compensation expense of our President for the year ended May 31, 2010 was overstated and to correct the accounting for the beneficial conversion feature of the convertible debenture sold in March 2010 (see Note 12). Refer to our Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 4, 2011 for additional information.

 

Revenues

 

We have not generated any revenues from our inception on April 25, 2006 to August 31, 2011. We do not anticipate generating any revenues until we have developed our products to the point where they are suitable for commercial production. In order to generate revenues, we will incur substantial expenses in the development of our business and current products and the location and acquisition of new healthcare technologies. We therefore expect to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from our activities, our entire business may fail. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will be successful in our plan of operations, and we can provide no assurance to investors that we will generate any operating revenues or achieve profitable operations.

Expenses

 

During the three months ended August 31, 2011, we incurred $725,226 in total expenses, including $354,259 in research and development costs, $181,019 in salaries and wages, $46,098 in professional fees and $125,987 in general and administrative expenses. During the three months ended August 31, 2010, we incurred total expenses of $507,008, including $155,445 in research and development costs, $218,905 in salaries and wages, $75,788 in professional fees and $50,121 in general and administrative expenses. The increase in our total expenses between the two periods was primarily due to increases in our research and development costs and general and administrative expenses, which was in turn attributable to an increase in our overall operations.

 

Our general and administrative expenses consisted of rent, travel, advertising and promotion, office maintenance, communication expenses and courier and postage costs. Our general and administrative expenses increased by $75,866 during the three months ended August 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 due to the increase in our overall operations as described above, and particularly, increases in our travel and advertising and promotion expenses. Our research and development costs increased by $198,814 between the two periods largely as a result of advances in our product development and clinical and manufacturing work, as well as an increase in our purchases of raw materials for conducting research on our products. In contrast, our salaries and wages decreased by $37,866 because of a decrease in personnel and a decrease in stock based compensation expense, while our professional fees decreased by $29,690 primarily due to a decrease in our legal fees.

 

During the three months ended August 31, 2011, we incurred a net loss from operations of $725,226, compared to a net loss from operations of $507,008 during the three months ended August 31, 2010. We also incurred $879,789 in interest expense during our most recent fiscal quarter, whereas we incurred $178,286 in interest expense, as offset by a $60,000 gain on the settlement of a payable, during the same period in our prior fiscal year. The increase in our interest expense was entirely due to the sale of a $4,200,000 convertible debenture to one investor that we completed in March 2010 and the sale of a $4,338,833 convertible note to the same investor that we completed in June 2011. The terms of these securities are described more fully in Note 4 of the notes to our interim consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

 

Net Loss

 

During the three months ended August 31, 2011, we incurred a net loss of $1,605,015, compared to a net loss of $625,294 during the three months ended August 31, 2010. Our net loss per share was $0.01 for each of these periods.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of August 31, 2011 we had $1,393,916 in cash and cash equivalents, $3,061,793 in total assets, $2,963,146 in total liabilities and a working capital deficit of $1,367,974. As of August 31, 2011 we had an accumulated deficit of $10,668,645.

 

To date, we have experienced negative cash flows from operations and we have been dependent on sales of our equity securities and debt financing to meet our cash requirements. We expect this situation to continue for the foreseeable future, and we anticipate that we will experience negative cash flows during our fiscal year ended May 31, 2012. Accordingly, our ability to generate any revenues continues to be uncertain.

During the three months ended August 31, 2011, we spent $635,749 in cash on operating activities, compared to $299,874 in cash spending on operating activities during the three months ended August 31, 2010. The increase in our cash spending on operating activities during our most recent fiscal quarter was primarily attributable to the increase in our net loss as described above and a decrease in our GST/HST receivable, as offset by a number of adjustments to reconcile our net loss to cash spending on operating activities, notably in the category of interest expense.

 

We spent $105,876 in cash on investing activities during the three months ended August 31, 2011, compared to receiving cash of $4,334 from investing activities during the same period in our prior fiscal year. Our increase in our cash spending on investing activities during the recent fiscal year was mostly due to a significant increase in our spending on equipment from $701 to $105,876.

 

During the three months ended August 31, 2011, we received $650,350 in net cash from financing activities, including $750,000 in proceeds from the issuance of a convertible debenture. During the three months ended August 31, 2010, we spent $8,996 in cash on financing activities, substantially all of which was attributable to repayments to shareholders. The increase in our cash receipts from financing activities during our most recent fiscal quarter resulted primarily from the proceeds of the debenture and a new convertible note, as counterbalanced to some extent by $99,636 in repayments to shareholders. Since our inception, we have received $3,400,000 in proceeds from the debenture and note and $1,910,018 in from the issuance of our common stock.

 

During the three months ended August 31, 2011, we incurred a comprehensive loss of $1,619,835. We estimate that our working capital requirements and projected operating expenses for the next 12 months will be approximately $2,250,000 as described in the “Plan of Operations” section, above. We do not currently have sufficient cash resources to meet our operating expenses for the next 12 months, so we plan to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities or through debt financing. There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain the funds required for our continued operation. If we are not able to obtain additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our business. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders, while obtaining commercial loans, assuming that such loans are available, would increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

 

Going Concern

 

Our financial statements for the three months ended August 31, 2011 have been prepared on a going concern basis and Note 1 to the financial statements identifies issues that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

We do not anticipate generating positive internal operating cash flow until we are able to generate substantial revenues from the commercialization of our products, and there is no assurance that we will achieve profitable operations in the future. We have historically financed our operations primarily through cash flows generated from the sale of our equity securities and through cash infusions from officers and affiliates in exchange for debt and/or common stock. No officer or affiliate has made any commitment or is obligated to continue to provide cash through loans or purchases of equity.

 

10
 

 

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 arrangements in place to complete any further private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any such financings. If we are unsuccessful in raising sufficient funds through our capital raising efforts, we may review other financing options.

 

To date, we have not generated any revenues and have incurred significant operating losses from operations. Since we anticipate expanding our operational activities in the future, we may continue to experience net negative cash flows from operations and may be required to obtain additional financing to fund our operations through offerings of equity securities and bank borrowings to the extent necessary to provide working capital. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from stockholders or other outside sources to sustain operations and meet our obligations on a timely basis and ultimately to attain profitability.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of August 31, 2011, we had no 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 are material to investors.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation and under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. The term “disclosure controls and procedures”, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

During the course of the preparation of our financial statements for the period ended November 30, 2010, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer identified a material weakness in our internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Based on the assessment of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of August 31, 2011, the following deficiencies were identified:

 

Our annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2010 and our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended August 31, 2010 required an audit adjustment to the accounting and disclosure of the compensation paid Dr. Salari, our officer and director, in fiscal 2010. The amount of compensation paid to Dr. Salari reported in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2010 was overstated due to our acquisition of Posh Cosmeceuticals Inc. effective December 2009, and an inadvertent error in the accrual of compensation to which Dr. Salari was entitled. Similarly, the amount of compensation paid to Dr. Salari reported in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended August 31, 2010 was overstated due to an inadvertent error in the accrual of compensation to which Dr. Salari was entitled. Our annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2010 and our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended August 31, 2010 were restated to reflect this adjustment.

 

In addition, based on the assessment of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of August 31, 2011 the following additional deficiencies were identified:

 

  1. Lack of segregation of duties/management override – in common with businesses that have few employees, there exists a weakness as one person performs many different functions; and
  1. Financial reporting deficiencies – certain accounting entries and related reporting of transactions were inadvertently not properly recorded in the past.

Management plans to remediate many of these deficiencies by engaging an accountant (other than our independent auditors) to prepare our financial statements on our behalf going forward. In addition, management plans to work with such accountant in evaluating or proceeding with any potential acquisitions. Also, management is currently considering additional remediation plans with respect to the above.

 

Accordingly, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of August 31, 2011 were not effective.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
