NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
(Unaudited)
 
1.
Basis of Presentation
 
These unaudited condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for Tribute Pharmaceuticals Canada Inc.’s ("Tribute" or the "Company") most recently completed fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.  These condensed interim financial statements do not include all disclosures required in annual financial statements, but rather are prepared in accordance with recommendations for interim financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).  These unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies, and methods as those used by the Company in the annual audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, except when disclosed below.
 
The unaudited condensed interim financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as at June 30, 2014, and the results of its operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and its cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.  Note disclosures have been presented for material updates to the information previously reported in the annual audited financial statements.
 
 
a)
Estimates
 
The preparation of these financial statements has required management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of the revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to provision for doubtful accounts, accrued liabilities, income taxes, stock based compensation, revenue recognition, intangible assets and derivative financial instruments.  The Company bases its estimates on historical experiences and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results could differ from those estimates. As adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become known.

Long Term Debt and Debt Issuance Costs
 
On August 8, 2013, SWK Funding LLC ("SWK"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SWK Holdings Corporation entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") pursuant to which the lenders party thereto provided to the Company a term loan in the principal amount of US$6,000,000 ($6,381,600) (the "Loan") which was increased, as per the terms of the Credit Agreement, by an additional US$2,000,000 ($2,211,000) at the Company's request on February 5, 2014.  SWK served as the agent under the Credit Agreement.  The Loan matures on August 8, 2018.

The Loan accrues interest at an annual rate of 11.5% plus the Libor Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), with the Libor Rate being subject to a minimum floor of 2%, such that that minimum interest rate is 13.5%.  In the event of a change of control, a merger or a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, the Loan shall be due and payable.

Upon receipt of the additional US$2,000,000 ($2,211,000) of the Loan, the Company issued to SWK 347,222 common share purchase warrants with a grant date fair value of the warrants of $120,914. Each warrant entitles SWK to acquire one common share in the capital of the Company at an exercise price of US$0.432 ($0.4612), at any time prior to February 4, 2021.
 
The discount to the carrying value of the Loan is being amortized as a non-cash interest expense over the term of the Loan using the effective interest rate method.  The grant date fair value of the 347,222 warrants issued to SWK was determined using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: expected volatility of 117%, a risk-free interest rate of 1.85%, an expected life of seven years, and no expected dividend yield.
 
During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, the Company accreted $34,409 and $65,526, respectively (2013 - $22,984 and $47,229, respectively) in non-cash accretion expense in connection with the long term loans, which is included in accretion expense on the condensed interim statements of operations, comprehensive loss and deficit.
 
During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, the Company also incurred US$116,169 ($128,425) in legal costs related to the additional US$2,000,000 ($2,211,000) Loan. These fees and costs were classified as debt issuance costs on the balance sheet.  These assets are being amortized as a non-cash interest expense over the term of the outstanding Loan using the effective interest rate method.  During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, the Company amortized $27,854 and $52,619, respectively (2013 – $38,795 and $92,762, respectively) in non-cash interest expense, which is included in amortization expense on the condensed interim statements of operations, comprehensive loss and deficit.
 
During the six month period ended June 30, 2014, the Company made no principal payments (year ended December 31, 2013 - US$3,281,250 ($3,386,630)) and interest payments of US$471,000 ($502,829) (year ended December 31, 2013 – US$409,653 ($422,341)) under the MidCap Financial LLC (now repaid) and SWK loan agreements.  The Company has estimated the following revenue-based principal and interest payments over the next five years ended December 31 based on the assumption that only the minimum revenue requirements will be met under the Credit Agreement:

During the six month period ended June 30, 2014, the Company issued 500,000 common shares to a consultant for services and recorded $211,812 as paid-in common shares based on the fair market value of the common shares at the date of issuance.

(b)           Stock Based Compensation
 
The Company’s stock-based compensation program ("Plan") includes stock options in which some options vest based on continuous service, while others vest based on performance conditions such as profitability and sales goals. For those equity awards that vest based on continuous service, compensation expense is recorded over the service period from the date of grant. For performance-based awards, compensation expense is recorded over the remaining service period when the Company determines that achievement is probable.

During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, there were 29,740 and 1,327,985, respectively, options granted to officers, employees and a consultant of the Company (2013 – 723,750 and 1,006,250, respectively). The exercise price of 1,107,985 of these options is $0.40, with one-eighth vesting quarterly over two years on each of March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, in 2015 and 2016, upon achieving certain financial objectives. Since stock-based compensation is recognized only for those awards that are ultimately expected to vest, the Company has applied an estimated forfeiture rate (based on historical experience and projected employee turnover) to unvested awards for the purpose of calculating compensation expense. The grant date fair value of these options was estimated as $0.33 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 123%; expected risk free interest rate of 1.61%; and expected term of 5 years.

In addition, 200,000 options were granted with an exercise price of $0.42 and will fully vest on January 3, 2015 (Note 12). The grant date fair value of these options was estimated as $0.39 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 123%; expected risk free interest rate of 1.69%; and expected term of 5 years.

The remaining, 20,000 options were granted with an exercise price of $0.61, with 10,000 vesting on November 30, 2014 and the remaining 10,000 vesting over two years on each of March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, in 2015 and 2016.  The grant date fair value of these options was estimated as $0.52 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 123%; expected risk free interest rate of 1.50%; and expected term of 5 years.

For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded $99,944 and $217,076, respectively (2013 – $115,482 and $289,969, respectively) as compensation expense for options issued to directors, officers and employees based on continuous service.  Included in this amount is $16,222 and $36,444 for options issued to a consultant for service (Note 12). This expense was recorded as selling, general and administrative expense on the condensed interim statements of operations, comprehensive loss and deficit.  Due to termination of employment and non-achievement of performance-based awards, 13,750 options were removed from the number of options issued during the six month period ended June 30, 2014 (year ended December 31, 2013 – 560,917).
 
The activities in additional paid in-capital options are as follows:

The total number of options outstanding as at June 30, 2014 was 5,139,070 (December 31, 2013 – 3,824,835).  The weighted average grant date fair value of the options granted during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, was $0.52 and $0.34 (2013 - $0.48 and $0.48, respectively).

The maximum number of options that may be issued under the Plan is floating at an amount equivalent to 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares, or 5,158,124 as at June 30, 2014 (December 31, 2013 – 5,108,124).

In connection with the additional US$2,000,000 ($2,211,000) loan, the Company issued SWK 347,222 common share purchase warrants with each warrant entitling SWK to acquire one common share in the capital of the Company at an exercise price of US$0.432 ($0.4612), at any time prior to February 5, 2021. The fair value of the warrant liability at the date of grant was $120,914 and was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 117%; risk free interest rate of 1.85%; and expected term of 7 years.

ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging" indicates that warrants with exercise prices denominated in a currency other than an entity’s functional currency should not be classified as equity.  As a result, these warrants have been treated as derivatives and recorded as liabilities carried at their fair value, with period-to-period changes in the fair value recorded as a gain or loss in the condensed interim statements of operations, comprehensive loss and deficit.  The Company treated the compensation warrants as a liability upon their issuance.

As at June 30, 2014, the fair value of the warrant liability of $7,705,377 (December 31, 2013 - $2,966,714) was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following weighted average assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0% (December 31, 2013 – 0%) expected volatility of 113% (December 31, 2013 – 114%) risk-free interest rate of 1.4% (December 31, 2013 – 1.58%) and expected term of 2.55 years (December 31, 2013 – 2.94 years).

Loss Per Share
 
The treasury stock method assumes that proceeds received upon the exercise of all warrants and options outstanding in the period is used to repurchase the Company’s shares at the average share price during the period.  The diluted loss per share is not computed when the effect of such calculation is anti-dilutive.  In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.  Potentially dilutive securities, which were not included in diluted weighted average shares for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, consist of outstanding stock options (5,139,070 and 4,183,752, respectively) and outstanding warrant grants (14,014,587 and 12,802,875, respectively).

As at June 30, 2014, the Company held cash of $987,955 (US$771,927 and €112,108) in denominations other than in Canadian dollars (December 31, 2013 - $1,211,602 (US$1,134,686 and €747)); had accounts receivables of $320,233 (US$81,998 and €159,214) denominated in foreign currencies (December 31, 2013 - $258,027 (US$51,395 and €138,964); had accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $235,258 (US$48,482 and €125,555) denominated in foreign currencies (December 31, 2013 – $115,373 (US$72,693 and €25,969)); warrant liability of $7,705,377 (US$7,217,476) (December 31, 2013 - $2,966,714 (US$2,789,315)); and long term debt of $8,540,800 (US$8,000,000) (December 31, 2013 - $6,381,600 (US$6,000,000)). For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, the Company had a foreign currency gain (loss) of $(10,506) and $185,559, respectively (2013 – loss of $27,804 and $96,264, respectively). These amounts have been included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed interim statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) and deficit.
 
16.           Financial Instruments
 
                 (a)   Financial assets and liabilities – fair values

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, certain other current assets, accounts payables and accrued liabilities are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Warrant liability and other current liability are financial liabilities where fluctuations in market rates will affect the fair value of these financial instruments.  The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:

Level 1: quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.

Cash equivalents, warrant liability and other current liability are classified as Level 2 financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy.

                 (b)   Liquidity risk

The Company generates sufficient cash from operating and financing activities to fund its operations and fulfill its obligations as they become due.  The Company has sufficient funds available through its cash, cash equivalents, and financing arrangements, should its cash requirements exceed cash generated from operations to cover financial liability obligations.  The Company’s investment policy is to invest excess cash resources into highly liquid short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less with tier one financial institutions.  As at June 30, 2014, there were no restrictions on the flow of these funds nor have any of these funds been committed in any way, except as outlined in the detailed notes.

In the normal course of business, management considers various alternatives to ensure that we can meet some of our operating cash flow requirements through financing activities, such as private placements of our common stock, preferred stock offerings and offerings of debt and convertible debt instruments as well as through merger or acquisition opportunities. Management may also consider strategic alternatives, including strategic investments and divestitures. As future operations may be financed out of funds generated from financing activities, the Company’s ability to do so is dependent on, among other factors, the overall state of capital markets and investor appetite for investments in the pharmaceutical industry and our securities in particular. Should we elect to satisfy our cash commitments through the issuance of securities, by way of either private placement or public offering or otherwise, there can be no assurance that our efforts to obtain such additional funding will be successful, or achieved on terms favorable to us or our existing shareholders. If adequate funds are not available on terms favorable to us, we may have to reduce substantially or eliminate expenditures such as promotion, marketing or production of our current or proposed products, or obtain funds through other sources such as divestiture or monetization of certain assets or sublicensing (where permitted) of certain rights to certain of our technologies or products.

                 (c)   Concentration of credit risk and major customers

The Company considers its maximum credit risk to be $1,963,057 (December 31, 2013 - $607,580). This amount is the total of the following financial assets: accounts receivable and loan receivable. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held through various high grade financial institutions.

The Company is exposed to credit risk from its customers and continually monitors its customers’ credit.  It establishes the provision for doubtful accounts based upon the credit risk applicable to each customer.  In line with other pharmaceutical companies, the Company sells its products through a small number of wholesalers and retail pharmacy chains in addition to hospitals, pharmacies, physicians and other groups. Note 11 discloses the significant customer details and the Company believes that the concentrations on the Company’s customers are considered normal for the Company and its industry.

As at June 30, 2014, the Company had two customers which made up 58.1% of the outstanding accounts receivable in comparison to three customers which made up 38.4% at December 31, 2013. As at June 30, 2014, all outstanding accounts receivable were related to product sales, of which $1,136,912 or 58.1% was related to two wholesale accounts.  As at December 31, 2013 all outstanding accounts receivables were related to product sales, of which $63,722 or 10.8% were related to one wholesale account and $163,220 or 27.6% was related to two international customers.

                (d)   Foreign exchange risk

The Company principally operates within Canada; however, a portion of the Company’s revenues, expenses, and current assets and liabilities, are denominated in United States dollars and the EURO. The Company’s long term debt is repayable in U.S. dollars, which exposes the Company to foreign exchange risk due to changes in the value of the Canadian dollar. As at June 30, 2014, a 5% change in the foreign exchange rate would increase/decrease the long term debt balance by $400,000 and would increase/decrease both interest expense and net loss by approximately $28,300 for the six month period ended June 30, 2014.
 
                (e)   Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate fluctuations on its cash and cash equivalents as well as its long term debt. At June 30, 2014, the Company had an outstanding long term debt balance of US$8,000,000 ($8,540,800), which bears interest annually at a rate of 11.5% plus the Libor Rate with the Libor Rate being subject to a minimum floor of 2%, such that that minimum interest rate is 13.5%, which may expose the Company to market risk due to changes in interest rates. For the six month period ended June 30, 2014, a 1% increase in interest rates would increase interest expense and net loss by approximately $42,700. However, based on current LIBOR interest rates, which are currently under the minimum floor set at 2% and based on historical movements in LIBOR rates, the Company believes a near-term change in interest rates would not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations.
 
17.
Derivative Financial Instruments
 
The Company enters into foreign currency contracts with financial institutions to reduce the risk that its cash flows and earnings will be adversely affected by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.  In accordance with the Company’s current foreign exchange rate risk management policy, this program is not designated for trading or speculative purposes.

The Company recognizes derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets at fair value.

During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, the Company entered into foreign currency call options designated as cash flow hedges to hedge certain forecasted expenses related to its loan obligation denominated in United States Dollars. The notional principal of the foreign currency call option to purchase US$6,000,000 was $6,603,000 at July 31, 2014.

The Company initially reports any gain or loss on the effective portion of the cash flow hedge as a component of other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassifies to the statements of operations when the hedged transaction occurs. Any ineffectiveness is recognized in earnings immediately.

 
15

 
 
Valuation techniques used to measure fair value are intended to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The Company has determined the foreign currency call option to be Level 2. The fair value of the foreign currency call option at June 30, 2014 was a loss of $189,430 (December 31, 2013 – a loss of $38,156), and is reported in other current liability in the accompanying balance sheets. During the three month period ended June 30, 2014, the Company recognized a loss on the settled foreign exchange contract of $196,800 (2013 $nil). For the six month periods ended June 30, 2014, the Company recognized a gain on the settled foreign exchange contract of $3,200 (2013 - $nil).

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the notional principal and fair value of the Company’s outstanding foreign currency derivative financial instruments were as follows:

   
June 30, 2014
 
December 31, 2013

USD $6,000,000
  $(189,430)

The notional principal amounts provide one measure of the transaction volume outstanding as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and do not represent the amount of the Company’s exposure to market loss. The estimates of fair value are based on applicable and commonly used pricing models using prevailing financial market information as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The amounts ultimately realized upon settlement of these financial instruments, together with the gains and losses on the underlying exposures, will depend on actual market conditions during the remaining life of the instruments.
 
18.           Subsequent Events
 
On July 15, 2014, the Company completed a public offering (“Offering”) in which 42,895,000 units (“Unit”) were issued at a price of $0.70 per Unit for gross proceeds of $30,026,500. Each Unit consisted of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant being referred to as a “Warrant”). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at a price per share of $0.90 for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the issuance thereof.

In connection with the Offering, the syndicate of underwriters received a cash commission of $2,251,988, equal to 7.5% of the gross proceeds raised under the Offering, and 3,217,125 non-transferable broker warrants.  Each broker warrant is exercisable into one Unit of the Company at a price per Unit of $0.70 for a period of (twenty-four) 24 months from the closing of the Offering.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed interim financial statements and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report. In addition to historical information, the following discussion and other parts of this quarterly report contain forward-looking statements. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “plan,” “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” believe,” “estimate” and “continue” or similar words. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts, and include statements regarding the Company’s planned research and development programs, anticipated future losses, revenues and market shares, planned clinical trials, expected future expenditures, the Company’s intention to raise new financing, sufficiency of working capital for continued operations, and other statements regarding anticipated future events and the Company’s anticipated future performance. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they discuss future expectations and plans, which contain projections of future results of operations or financial condition or state other forward-looking information. We believe that it is important to communicate future expectations to investors. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or control. Accordingly, we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future, except as required by law.
 
The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties set forth under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013 and other periodic reports filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, to the extent that this quarterly report contains forward-looking statements regarding the financial condition, operating results, business prospects or any other aspect of the Company, please be advised that the Company’s actual financial condition, operating results and business performance may differ materially from that projected or estimated by the Company in forward-looking statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The SEC defines critical accounting policies as those that are, in management’s view, important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and require management’s judgment. The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).  The preparation of these statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. The Company bases its estimates on experience and on various assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about its carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The Company’s critical accounting policies include:
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. License fees which are comprised of initial fees and milestone payments are recognized upon achievement of each such milestone, provided the milestone is meaningful, and provided that collectability is reasonably assured and other revenue recognition criteria are met. Milestone payments are recognized into income upon the achievement of the specified milestones when the Company has no further involvement or obligation to perform services, as related to that specific element of the arrangement. Upfront fees and other amounts received in excess of revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenues.
 
Revenues from the sale of products, net of trade discounts, returns and allowances, are recognized when legal title to the goods has been passed to the customer and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues associated with multiple-element arrangements are attributed to the various elements, if certain criteria are met, including whether the delivered element has stand-alone value to the customer and whether there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered elements. Non-refundable up-front fees for the transfer of methods and technical know-how, not requiring the Company to perform additional research or development activities or other significant future performance obligations, are recognized upon delivery of the methods and technical know-how.
 
 
17

 
 
Royalty revenue is recognized when the Company has fulfilled the terms in accordance with the contractual agreement and has no material future obligation, other than inconsequential and perfunctory support, as would be expected under such agreements and the amount of the royalty fee is determinable and collection is reasonably assured.
 
A customer is obligated to pay for products sold to it within a specified number of days from the date that title to the products is transferred to the customer. The Company’s standard terms are typically 0.5% to 2% prompt payment discount when payment is received within 15 to 20 days from the date of invoice.
 
The Company has a product returns policy on some of its products, which allows the customer to return pharmaceutical products that have expired, for full credit, provided the expired products are returned within twelve months from the expiration date.
 
Transfer of title occurs and risk of ownership passes to a customer at the time of shipment or delivery, depending on the terms of the agreement with a particular customer. The sale price of the Company’s products is substantially fixed or determinable at the date of sale based on purchase orders generated by a customer and accepted by the Company. A customer’s obligation to pay the Company for products sold to it is not contingent upon the resale of those products. The Company recognizes revenues for the sale of products from the date the title to the products is transferred to the customer. 

Long Term Debt and Debt Issuance Costs

On August 8, 2013, SWK Funding LLC ("SWK"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SWK Holdings Corporation entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") pursuant to which the lenders party thereto provided to the Company a term loan in the principal amount of US$6,000,000 ($6,381,600) (the "Loan") which was increased, as per the terms of the Credit Agreement, by an additional US$2,000,000 ($2,211,000) at the Company's request on February 4, 2014.  SWK served as the agent under the Credit Agreement.  The Loan matures on August 8, 2018.

The Loan accrues interest at an annual rate of 11.5% plus the Libor Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), with the Libor Rate being subject to a minimum floor of 2%, such that that minimum interest rate is 13.5%.  In the event of a change of control, a merger or a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, the Loan shall be due and payable.

Upon receipt of the additional US$2,000,000 ($2,211,000) of the Loan, the Company issued to SWK 347,222 common share purchase warrants with a grant date fair value of the warrants of $120,914. Each warrant entitles SWK to acquire one common share in the capital of the Company at an exercise price of US$0.432 ($0.4612), at any time prior to February 5, 2021.
 
The discount to the carrying value of the Loan is being amortized as a non-cash interest expense over the term of the Loan using the effective interest rate method.  The grant date fair value of the 347,222 warrants issued to SWK was determined using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: expected volatility of 117%, a risk-free interest rate of 1.85%, an expected life of seven years, and no expected dividend yield.
 
During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, the Company accreted $34,400 and $65,500, respectively (2013 - $23,000 and $47,200, respectively) in non-cash accretion expense in connection with the long term loans, which is included in accretion expense on the condensed interim statements of operations, comprehensive loss and deficit.
 
During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, the Company also incurred US$116,200 ($128,400) in legal costs related to the additional US$2,000,000 ($2,211,000) Loan. These fees and costs were classified as debt issuance costs on the balance sheet.  These assets are being amortized as a non-cash interest expense over the term of the outstanding Loan using the effective interest rate method.  During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, the Company amortized $27,900 and $52,600, respectively (2013 – $38,800 and $92,800, respectively) in non-cash interest expense, which is included in amortization expense on the condensed interim statements of operations, comprehensive loss and deficit.
 
 
18

 
 
During the six month period ended June 30, 2014, the Company made no principal payments (year ended December 31, 2013 - US$3,281,300 ($3,386,600)) and interest payments of US$471,000 ($502,800) (year ended December 31, 2013 – US$409,700 ($422,300)) under the MidCap Financial LLC (now repaid) and SWK loan agreements.  The Company has estimated the following revenue-based principal and interest payments over the next five years ended December 31 based on the assumption that only the minimum revenue requirements will be met under the Credit Agreement:

Stock-Based Consideration
 
The Company uses the fair value based method of accounting for all its stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. The estimated fair value of the options that are ultimately expected to vest based on performance related conditions, as well as the options that are expected to vest based on future service, is recorded over the option’s requisite service period and charged to stock-based compensation. In determining the amount of options that are expected to vest, the Company takes into account, voluntary termination behavior, as well as trends of actual option forfeitures.

Stock options and warrants which are indexed to a factor which is not a market, performance or service condition, in addition to the Company’s share price, are classified as liabilities and re-measured at each reporting date based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model with a charge to operations, until the date of settlement. Some warrants have been reflected as a liability as they are indexed to a factor which is not a market performance or service condition.

Warrant Liability
 
The revaluation of the warrants liability for the three month period ended June 31, 2014, resulted in an increase in the warrant expense (non-cash) of $3,206,000 (June 30, 2013 - $466,600 credit). The increase primarily relates to a private placement in 2013 of approximately $4.6 million of units of the Company’s equity securities. Since the warrants are denominated in U.S. dollars and the Company’s functional currency is in Canadian dollars, the fair market value of the warrants fluctuates from period to period. The fair market value is based on the current stock price, volatility, the risk free interest rate, time remaining until expiry and changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. and Canadian dollar. 

For the six month period ended June 30, 2014 the revaluation of the warrant liability resulted in an increase in the warrant expense (non-cash) of $4,617,700 (June 30, 2013 - $850,500).  The increase primarily relates to the private placement of approximately $4.6 million completed in the first quarter of 2013.

All terms under the Credit Agreement apply to the additional funds. On the closing date of the second advance of funds ("Second Closing Date"), the Company issued the Lender a warrant to purchase 347,222 common shares of the Company (the "Subsequent Loan Warrant"). The Subsequent Loan Warrant is exercisable for a period of seven years from the Second Closing Date at an exercise price of US$0.432 ($0.4612). The Lender may exercise the Subsequent Loan Warrant on a cashless basis at any time. In the event the Lender exercises the Subsequent Loan Warrant on a cashless basis the Company will not receive any proceeds. The exercise price of the Subsequent Loan Warrant is subject to customary adjustment provisions for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like. For further information on the terms of the Credit Agreement refer to the Company’s Form 8-K filed on February 10, 2014.

The Company may seek additional funding, primarily by way of one or more equity offerings, to carry out its business plan and to minimize risks to its operations. The market for equity financing for companies such as Tribute is challenging and there can be no assurance that additional funding will become available by way of equity financing. Any additional equity financing may result in significant dilution to the existing shareholders at the time of such financing. The Company may also seek additional funding from other sources, including licensing, co-development collaborations and other strategic alliances. Such funding, if obtained, may reduce the Company’s interest in its projects or products. Regardless, there can be no assurance that any alternative sources of funding will be available to the Company.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.    

We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
 
As of June 30, 2014, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in our periodic reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified for each report and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
 
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2014, identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
