EXPLANATORY NOTE
 
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (this “Amendment No. 1”) to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Tribute Pharmaceuticals Canada Inc. (“Tribute” or the “Company”) for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2015 as originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 14, 2015 (the “Original Report”) is being filed in connection with the preparation by the Company of audited financial statements as at and for the six month period ended June 30, 2015 (the “Audited Financial Statements”) and the related notes to the Audited Financial Statements as a result of a filing obligation under Canadian securities laws relating to the 2014 acquisition of certain products from Novartis. This Amendment No. 1 reflects the fact that the Audited Financial Statements have now been audited by McGovern, Hurley, Cunningham, LLP.
 
Accordingly, we hereby amend and replace in its entirety Part I — Item 1 (Financial Statements) and Part II - Item 6 (Exhibits) of the Original Report. Part I — Item 1 (Financial Statements) now contains both the unaudited interim financial statements as at June 30, 2015 and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 that were included with the Original Report (the “Unaudited Financial Statements”), as well as the Audited Financial Statements as at and for the six month period ended June 30, 2015. Other than the financial information contained in Unaudited Financial Statements that is not contained in the Audited Financial Statements (which consists of financial information relating to the three month period ended June 30, 2015), the Audited Financial Statements replace and supersede the Unaudited Financial Statements. In accordance with applicable SEC rules, this Amendment No. 1 also includes new certifications required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, from our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer dated as of the filing date of this Amendment No. 1. Accordingly, the Registrant hereby amends Part II - Item 6 of the Original Report to reflect the filing of the new certifications.
 
Except as described above, this Amendment No. 1 does not amend, update or change any other items or disclosures in the Original Report and does not purport to reflect any information or events subsequent to the filing thereof. As such, this Amendment No. 1 speaks only as of the date the Original Report was filed, and the Company has not undertaken herein to amend, supplement or update any information contained in the Original Report to give effect to any subsequent events and any forward-looking statements represent management’s views as of the Original Report date and should not be assumed to be accurate as of any date thereafter. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Company’s filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Report, including any amendment to those filings.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Tribute Pharmaceuticals Canada Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tribute Pharmaceuticals Canada Inc. (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2015 and the related consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity, operations and comprehensive loss, and cash flows for the six month period ended June 30, 2015. Tribute Pharmaceuticals Canada Inc.’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tribute Pharmaceuticals Canada Inc. as of June 30, 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the six month period ended June 30, 2015, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

In addition, it has the exclusive U.S. rights to develop and commercialize Bezalip SR in the U.S. and has the exclusive right to sell bilastine, a product licensed from Faes Farma for the treatment of allergic rhinitis and chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives), in Canada. The exclusive license is inclusive of prescription and non-prescription rights for bilastine, as well as adult and pediatric presentations in Canada. Bilastine is subject to receiving Canadian regulatory approval. Tribute also has the Canadian rights to ibSium®, which was approved in Canada in June 2015 and two additional pipeline products including Octasa® and BedBugz™, both of which are pending submission to Health Canada.

The comparative statements of operations and comprehensive loss and cash flows for the six month period ended June 30, 2014 is unaudited.  The comparative balance sheet as at December 31, 2014 is derived from the annual December 31, 2014 financial statements.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tribute and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Tribute Pharmaceuticals International Inc., Tribute Pharmaceuticals US, Inc. and Medical Futures Inc. (“MFI”) (See Note 2).  All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Proposed Merger Transaction

On June 8, 2015, Tribute entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Arrangement (the “Transaction Agreement”) with Pozen, Inc. (“Pozen”). Upon the completion of the transaction contemplated thereby, which is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2016, subject to satisfaction of various conditions, the combined company will be named Aralez Pharmaceuticals plc (“Aralez”). At closing, each common share of Tribute will be exchanged for 0.1455 Aralez ordinary shares.  This transaction is subject to shareholder approval, as well as various regulatory approvals.

ACQUISITIONS AND GOODWILL

Business Combination

On October 2, 2014, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Novartis AG and Novartis Pharma AG (collectively, “Novartis,” and together with the Company, the “Parties”) pursuant to which the Company acquired from Novartis the Canadian rights to manufacture, market, promote, distribute and sell Fiorinal®, Fiorinal® C, Visken® and Viskazide® for the relief of pain from headache and for the treatment of cardiovascular conditions (the “Products”), as well as certain other assets relating to the Products, including certain intellectual property, marketing authorizations and related data, medical, commercial and technical information, and the partial assignment of certain manufacturing and supply agreements and tenders with third parties (the “Acquired Assets”). The Company also assumed certain liabilities arising out of the Acquired Assets and the Licensed Assets (as described below) after the acquisition, including product liability claims or intellectual property infringement claims by third parties relating to the sale of the Products by the Company in Canada. In connection with the acquisition of the Acquired Assets, and pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company concurrently entered into a license agreement with Novartis AG, Novartis Pharma AG and Novartis Pharmaceuticals Canada Inc. (the “License Agreement”, and, together with the Asset Purchase Agreement, the “Agreements”). Pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, the Novartis entities agreed to license to the Company certain assets relating to the Products, including certain intellectual property, marketing authorizations and related data, and medical, commercial and technical information (the “Licensed Assets”). The Company concurrently entered into a supply agreement with Novartis Pharma AG (the “Supply Agreement”), pursuant to which Novartis Pharma AG agreed to supply the Company with the requirements of Products for sale for a transition period until the Company is able to transfer the marketing authorizations to the Company. The consideration paid for the Acquired Assets and the Licensed Assets was $32,000,000 in cash.
 
 
F-6

 
 
The transaction was accounted for as a business combination. The fair value of the acquired identifiable net assets was $32,000,000, which was allocated between the product rights acquired (Visken® and Fiorinal®).

The estimated fair value of the intangible assets was determined based on the use of the discounted cash flow models using an income approach for the acquired licenses.  Estimated revenues were probability adjusted to take into account the stage of completion and the risks surrounding successful development and commercialization. The license agreement assets are classified as indefinite-lived intangible assets until the successful completion and commercialization or abandonment of the associated marketing and development efforts.  The licensing asset and licensing agreements relate to product license agreements having estimated useful lives of 25 years. The Company believes that the fair values assigned to the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and the contingent consideration liabilities were based on reasonable assumptions.
 
Fibricor Asset Acquisition
 
On May 21, 2015, Tribute Pharmaceuticals International Inc., (a wholly owned subsidiary of Tribute) a Barbados corporation, acquired the U.S. rights to Fibricor® and its related authorized generic (the “Product”) from a wholly owned step-down subsidiary of Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (“Sun Pharma”).  Financial terms of the deal include the payment of US$10,000,000 as follows: US$5,000,000 ($6,100,500) paid on closing; US$2,000,000 ($2,494,800) payable 180 days from closing; and, US$3,000,000 ($3,742,200) payable 365 days from closing.  As at June 30, 2015, US$5,000,000 ($6,237,000) has been accrued and included in amounts payable and contingent consideration on the consolidated balance sheet. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition.  Costs incurred to complete the acquisition were $113,726, which were capitalized to the cost of the assets acquired.

MFI Acquisition

On June 16, 2015, Tribute entered into a share purchase agreement (the ‘‘Share Purchase Agreement’’) with the shareholders of Medical Futures Inc. (‘‘MFI’’) pursuant to which Tribute acquired on such date (the ‘‘MFI Acquisition’’) all of the outstanding shares of MFI (the ‘‘MFI Shares’’). The consideration paid for the MFI Shares was comprised of (1) $8,492,868 in cash on closing, (2) $5,000,000 through the issuance of 3,723,008 Tribute common shares, (3) $5,000,000 in the form of a one-year term promissory note (the ‘‘Note’’) bearing interest at 8% annually convertible in whole or in part at the holder’s option at any time during the term into 2,813,778 Tribute common shares at a conversion rate of $1.77 per Tribute common share (subject to adjustment in certain events), with a maturity date of June 16, 2016 (4) retention payments of $507,132, reported as accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet, and (5) future contingent cash milestone payments totaling $5,695,000 that will be paid only upon obtaining certain consents. In addition, on the receipt of each regulatory approval for MFI’s two pipeline products described below (or upon the occurrence of a change of control of Tribute), the vendors will receive a payment of $1,250,000 per product. The Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration by assigning an achievement probability to each potential milestone and discounting the associated cash payment to its present value using a risk adjusted rate of return. The Company evaluates its estimates of fair value of contingent consideration liabilities at the end of each reporting period until the liability is settled. Any changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities are included in change in fair value of contingent consideration on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The liability for these amounts payable, are reported together as “amounts payable and contingent consideration” on the balance sheet.  The Company has accrued $5,695,000 related to obtaining certain consents as an achievement probability of 100% was assigned to those contingent milestone payments.  The contingent payments related to the two pipeline products are reliant on regulatory approval.  As the achievement of regulatory approval cannot be reliably estimated by the Company, an achievement probability of 0% was assigned and therefore no accrual recorded on the balance sheet.
 
 
F-7

 

The MFI Acquisition diversifies Tribute’s product portfolio in Canada through the addition of thirteen (13) marketed products.
 
The Company recorded a charge of $625,266 in acquisition and restructuring costs during the six month period ended June 30, 2015, on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
 
Pro Forma Results: The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information summarizes the results of operations for the periods indicated as if the MFI Acquisition had been completed as of January 1, 2014 after giving effect to certain adjustments. The unaudited pro forma information is provided for illustrative purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations or financial condition that would have been achieved if the MFI Acquisition would have taken place as of January 1, 2014 and should not be taken as indicative of future results of operations or financial condition.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America on a basis consistent with that of the prior period.

a)           CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase. Cash and cash equivalents are held with three major financial institutions in Canada. As at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.
 
 
F-8

 

b)           ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Company routinely assesses the recoverability of all material trade and other receivables to determine their collectability by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, the age of the accounts receivable balances, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer's ability to pay.

c)           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 the milestones 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. Up-front 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 standalone 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.

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 typically range from 0.5% to 2% discount, 15 to 20 days net 30 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.

In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement (Note 2), the Company entered into a transition services and supply agreement with Novartis to facilitate the seamless and efficient transfer of products to the Company. The agreement required that Novartis continue to manufacture and distribute products until the Company obtained the necessary marketing authorizations to allow it to take over these functions as principal. Novartis provided the Company with a monthly reconciliation of revenues, cost of goods, and marketing and selling expenses for which the Company then billed Novartis for the net amount receivable. The Company relied on the financial information provided by Novartis to estimate the amounts due under this agreement. Based on the terms of this arrangement and the guidance per ASC 605-45 regarding agency relationships, for the period of this arrangement the Company recorded revenues relating to the Asset Purchase Agreement on a net basis in the consolidated statement of operations, net of cost of goods and marketing and selling expenses.

d)           INVENTORIES
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value with cost being determined on a first-in, first-out basis.  Cost is determined to be purchase cost for raw materials and the production cost (materials, labor and indirect manufacturing cost) for work-in-process and finished goods.  Throughout the manufacturing process, the related production costs are recorded within inventory.
 
 
F-9

 

e)           PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. The Company periodically evaluates whether current facts or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets to be held and used may not be recoverable. The Company reviews its long-term assets, such as fixed assets to be held and used or disposed of, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. The basis of amortization and estimated useful lives of these assets are provided for as follows:

Packaging equipment
 
Activity based
 
5 to 10 years

Activity based amortization is based on the number of uses for each asset in that category.
 
f)           GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of the net assets of the acquired businesses.  Goodwill has an indefinite useful life and is not amortized, but instead tested for impairment annually.  Intangible assets include patents, product rights, a licensing asset and licensing agreements.

Patents represent capitalized legal costs incurred in connection with applications for patents. In-process patents pending are not amortized. All patents subject to amortization are amortized on a straight line basis over an estimated useful life of up to 17 years. The Company regularly evaluates patents and applications for impairment or abandonment, at which point the Company charges the remaining net book value to expenses. The licensing asset represents amounts paid for exclusive Canadian licensing rights to develop, register, promote, manufacture, use, market, distribute and sell pharmaceutical products. The licensing agreements represent the fair value assigned to licensing agreements acquired. The licensing asset and licensing agreement are amortized over the remaining life of the agreement, upon product approval or over their estimated useful lives ranging from 4 years to 25 years. See Note 7.

The Company evaluates the recoverability of amortizable intangible assets for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If such review indicates that the carrying amount of intangible assets is not recoverable, the carrying amount of such assets is reduced to fair value. The Company has not recorded any impairment charge during the years presented.

When assessing goodwill impairment, the Company assesses qualitative factors first to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the two-step impairment test is not performed. In the event that there are qualitative factors which indicate that the carrying amount is greater than the fair value of the reporting unit, then the two step impairment approach is performed.

The first step, identifying a potential impairment, compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, the second step would need to be performed; otherwise, no further step is required. The second step, measuring the impairment loss, compares the implied fair value of the goodwill with the carrying amount of the goodwill. Any excess of the goodwill carrying amount over the applied fair value is recognized as an impairment loss, and the carrying value of goodwill is written down to fair value. As of December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2015, no impairment of goodwill has been identified.

g)           USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements has required management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities and the revenue and expenses recorded. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to provision for doubtful accounts, inventories, accrued liabilities, accrued returns, discounts and rebates, derivative instruments, income taxes, stock based compensation, revenue recognition, goodwill, intangible assets, contingent consideration and the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. 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 recorded in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss in the period in which they become known. Such adjustments could be material.

h)           DEFERRED INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements.

Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the consolidated financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax results in deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent management believe these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, all available positive and negative evidence is utilized, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In the event a determination is made that the Company would be able to realize deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of the net recorded amount, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be made, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

Tax benefits from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold to be recognized. This interpretation also provides guidance on measurement, de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

 
i)
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.
 
j)           FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS AND TRANSLATION
Monetary assets and liabilities are translated into Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company, at the year-end exchange rate, while foreign currency revenues and expenses are translated at the exchange rate in effect on the date of the transaction. The resultant gains or losses are included in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.  Non-monetary items are translated at historical rates.
 
 
F-11

 

k)           RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The approved refundable portion of the tax credits are netted against the related expenses. Non-refundable investment tax credits are recorded in the period when reasonable assurance exists that the Company has complied with the terms and conditions required for approval of the tax credit and it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these tax credits against the deferred taxes. Refundable investment tax credits are recorded in the period when reasonable assurance exists that the Company has complied with the terms and conditions required for approval of the tax credit and it is more likely than not that the Company will collect it. At June 30, 2015, the Company had no outstanding refundable tax credits (December 31, 2014 - nil).
 
l)           COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity during a period related to transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.

m)           EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
FASB ASC Section 260, “Earnings (Loss) Per Share”, requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (EPS) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes dilution. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue shares were exercised or converted into shares that would then share in the earnings.

Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding each year. The diluted loss per share is not presented when the effect is anti-dilutive.

 
n)
ACQUISITIONS
The accounting for acquisitions requires extensive use of estimates and judgments to measure the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired, including license agreement assets and liabilities assumed. Additionally, the Company must determine whether an acquired entity is considered to be a business or a set of net assets, because the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired can only be recognized as goodwill in a business combination.
 
 
o)
CONTINGENT CONSIDERATION
Contingent consideration liabilities represent future amounts the Company may be required to pay in conjunction with various business combinations. The ultimate amount of future payments is based on specified future criteria, such as sales performance and the achievement of certain future development, regulatory and sales milestones. The Company estimates the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities related to sales performance using the income approach, which involves forecasting estimated future net cash flows and discounting the net cash flows to their present value using a risk-adjusted rate of return. The Company estimates the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities related to the achievement of future development and regulatory milestones by assigning an achievement probability to each potential milestone and discounting the associated cash payment to its present value using a risk-adjusted rate of return. The Company evaluates its estimates of the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities on a periodic basis. Any changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
 
 
p)
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as risks inherent in valuation techniques, transfer restrictions and credit risk. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:
 
 
F-12

 

 
Level 1 -
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2 -
Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical  assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
 
Level 3 -
Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The Company’s valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of money market funds and certain marketable equity securities were derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of all other financial instruments, all of which have counterparties with high credit ratings, were valued based on quoted market prices or model driven valuations using significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

In accordance with the fair value accounting requirements, companies may choose to measure eligible financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company has not elected the fair value option for any eligible financial instruments.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, loan receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and debentures are approximate of their fair values due to the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the long term debt is estimated based on quoted market prices and interest rates.

The Company’s equity-linked financial instruments reflected as warrant liability on the balance sheet represent financial liabilities classified as Level 3 as per ASU 2009-05. As required by the guidance, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value of the warrant liability which is not traded in an active market has been determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on assumptions that are supported by observable market conditions. The estimated fair value of the contingent non-cash consideration was based on the Company’s stock price.

q)             
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED
 
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which guidance in this update will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance when it becomes effective. ASU No. 2014-09 affects any entity that enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. The core principal of ASU No. 2014-09 is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. ASU No. 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period, which will be the Company’s fiscal year 2017 (or January 1, 2017), and entities can transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Amortization expense of intangible assets for the six month period ended June 30, 2015 was $1,373,153 (2014 - $504,371).
 
The Company has patents pending of $45,942 at June 30, 2015 (December 31, 2014 - $45,392) and licensing agreements of $373,325 (December 31, 2014 - $373,325) not currently being amortized.

The licensing asset consists of capitalized payments to third party licensors related to the achievement of regulatory approvals to commercialize products in specified markets and up-front payments associated with royalty obligations for products.

The Company tests for impairment of definite-lived intangible assets when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. No such triggering events were identified in 2015 and 2014, and therefore no impairment loss was recognized during those periods.

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") with the Company pursuant to which SWK 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.

On October 1, 2014 (the “Amendment Closing Date”), the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement and Guarantee (the “First Amendment,” and together with the Credit Agreement, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) with SWK. The Amended Credit Agreement provides for a multi-draw term loan to the Company for up to a maximum amount of US$17,000,000 ($21,205,800) (the “Loan Commitment Amount”). On the Amendment Closing Date, SWK advanced the Company an additional amount equal to US$6,000,000 ($6,724,800) pursuant to the terms of a promissory note executed on the Amendment Closing Date (the “October 2014 Note”). The October 2014 Note is for a total principal amount of US$14,000,000 ($17,463,600) (the "Loan") (comprised of US$8,000,000 ($8,592,600) advanced under the Credit Agreement and the additional US$6,000,000 ($6,724,800) advanced on October 1, 2014) due and payable on December 31, 2018. In addition, an origination fee of US$120,000 ($124,172) was paid to SWK and treated as a discount to the carrying value of the Loan.

Interest and principal under the Loan will be paid by a revenue based payment (“Revenue Based Payment”) that is charged on quarterly revenues of the Company, applied in the following priority (i) first, to the payment of all fees, costs, expenses and indemnities due and owing to SWK under the Amended Credit Amended Agreement, (ii) second, to the payment of all fees, costs, expenses and indemnities due and owing to the lenders under the Credit Agreement, (iii) third, to the payment of all accrued but unpaid interest until paid in full; and (iv) fourth, for each payment date on or after payment date in April 2015, to the payment of all principal under the Loan up to a maximum of US$1,000,000 ($1,247,400) in respect of any fiscal quarter. All amounts applied under the Revenue Based Payment will be made to each lender according to its pro-rata share of the Loan. The lenders will be entitled to certain additional payments in connection with repayments of the Loan, both on maturity and in connection with a prepayment or partial prepayment. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company entered into a Guaranty and Collateral Agreement granting the lenders a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets (the "Collateral"). The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of its type, including but not limited to, limiting the Company’s ability to pay dividends or make any distributions, incur additional indebtedness, grant additional liens, engage in any other line of business, make investments, merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of its assets and enter into transactions with related parties. The Amended Credit Agreement also contains certain financial covenants, including, but not limited to, certain minimum net sales requirements and a requirement to maintain at least $1,000,000 of unencumbered liquid assets at the end of each fiscal quarter. The Amended Credit Agreement includes customary events of default, including but not limited to, failure to pay principal, interest or fees when due, failure to comply with covenants, default under certain other indebtedness, certain insolvency or bankruptcy events, the occurrence of certain material judgments, the institution of any proceeding by a government agency or a change of control of the Company. The obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement to repay the Loan may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Amended Credit Agreement. A 4% agent fee on the above mentioned transaction was paid on the amounts borrowed above US$3,500,000 ($4,365,900) up to US$8,000,000 ($9,979,200).

The Loan accrues interest at an annual rate of 11.5% plus LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), with LIBOR Rate being subject to a minimum floor of 2%, such that the 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.

In connection with the Loan the Company issued to SWK 755,794 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$0.5954 ($0.7427), at any time prior to August 8, 2020. The grant date fair value of the warrants was $445,794, which was recorded as warrant liability, with an equal amount recorded as a discount to the carrying value of the Loan. In addition, an origination fee of US$120,000 ($124,172) was paid to SWK and treated as a discount to the carrying value of the loan.

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 ($0.539), at any time on or prior to February 4, 2021.

Upon receipt of the additional US$6,000,000 ($6,724,800) of the Loan, the Company issued to SWK 740,000 common share purchase warrants with a grant date fair value of the warrants of $303,557. Each warrant entitles SWK to acquire one common share in the capital of the Company at an exercise price of US$0.70 ($0.8121), at any time on or prior to October 1, 2019. In addition, an origination fee of US$90,000 ($100,872) was paid to SWK and treated as a discount to the carrying value of the loan.

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 warrants issued to SWK was determined using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected volatility of 123%, a risk-free interest rate of 1.90%, an expected life of 6.2 years, and no expected dividend yield.
 
During the six month period ended June 30, 2015, the Company accreted $147,462 (2014 - $65,526) in non-cash accretion expense in connection with the long term loan, which is included in accretion expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

During 2014, the Company incurred US$203,389 ($225,858) in financing fees and legal costs related to closing the Credit Agreement and recorded US$80,000 ($92,808) related to an exit fee payable to SWK upon the retirement of the Loan. These fees and costs were classified as debt issuance costs on the consolidated balance sheets. 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 six month period ended June 30, 2015, the Company amortized $60,498 (2014 –$52,619) in non-cash interest expense, which is included in amortization expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2015, the Company paid US$339,089 ($410,917) in principal payments (year ended December 31, 2014 - $nil) and interest payments of US$950,250 ($1,172,414) (year ended December 31, 2014 – US$1,090,500 ($1,207,262)) under the Credit Agreement and Amended Credit Agreement.  The Company has estimated the following revenue-based principal and interest payments over the next four years ended December 31 based on the assumption that only the minimum revenue requirements will be met under the Amended Credit Agreement:

Debenture Financing

In connection with the completion of the acquisition of MFI, Tribute also completed a private placement of $12,500,000 principal amount of secured subordinated debentures (the "Debentures").  The Debentures are secured by a general security agreement from the Company constituting a lien on all the present and future property of the Company.  The Debentures bear interest at a rate of 6.0% per annum payable quarterly in arrears and mature on June 16, 2016 (the "Maturity Date").  The Debentures can be redeemed, in full, at any time following the closing date and prior to the Maturity Date, by Tribute paying the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest. Tribute will also pay a customary redemption fee upon a change of control and an exit fee upon repayment of the Debentures.

In connection with the Debentures, the Company paid commissions to a syndicate of underwriters of $750,000.  The Company also recorded $88,945 in debt issuance costs associated with syndicate fees, $250,000 in debt issuance costs and as an exit fee and $36,811 in debt issuance costs associated with legal fees.  Total issuance costs associated with the Debentures were $1,115,811.  During the six month period ended June 30, 2015, the Company accreted $40,002 (2014 - $nil) in non-cash accretion expense in connection with the Debenture financing, which is included in accretion expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Each broker warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Unit at an exercise price of $0.70 at any time on or before July 15, 2016.  Total other issuance costs associated with the public offering were $403,636.

During the year ended December 31, 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 six month period ended June 30, 2015, there were 3,775,520 options granted to officers, employees and consultants of the Company (2014 – 1,327,985). The exercise price of 2,925,520 of these options is $0.62, vesting quarterly one-eighth over two years on each of March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, in 2016 and 2017. Of these options 540,000 are time-based, while the remaining 2,385,520 are based 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 $0.51 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 121%; expected risk free interest rate of 0.61%; and expected term of 5 years.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2015, 200,000 options were granted (2014 – 200,000) with an exercise price of $0.62 and will fully vest on January 4, 2016 (Note 15). The grant date fair value of these options was estimated as $0.43 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 121%; expected risk free interest rate of 0.87%; and expected term of 5 years.  (Note 15)

In addition, 600,000 options were granted based on achieving certain financial objectives, with an exercise price of $0.99 and will vest quarterly over three years on each of March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, in 2016, 2017 and 2018. The grant date fair value of these options was estimated as $0.75 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 122%; expected risk free interest rate of 1.07%; and expected term of 5 years.

The remaining 50,000 options were granted with an exercise price of $0.62, with one quarter vesting over one year on each of April 29, July 29, October 29 in 2015 and January 29, 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 122%; expected risk free interest rate of 0.87%; and expected term of 5 years.
 
For the six month period ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded $1,030,689 (2014 – $217,076) as additional paid in capital for options issued to directors, officers, employees and consultants based on continuous service.  Included in this amount is $630,839 for options issued to consultants for services. This expense was recorded as selling, general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations, and comprehensive loss.  Due to termination of employment and non-achievement of performance-based awards, 172,085 options were removed from the number of options issued during the six month period ended June 30, 2015 (year ended December 31, 2014 – 817,830).
 
The activities in additional paid in-capital options are as follows:

The total number of options outstanding as at June 30, 2015 was 8,436,791 (December 31, 2014 – 4,834,991).  The weighted average grant date fair value of the options granted during the six month period ended June 30, 2015, was $0.55 (2014 - $0.34). 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 12,505,057 as at June 30, 2015 (December 31, 2014 – 9,447,624). The total remaining options available for granting under the plan at June 30, 2015 was 4,068,266 (December 31, 2014 – 4,612,634).

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the grant date fair value of stock options with the following weighted average assumptions: 

   
2015
   
2014
 
Risk-free interest rate
    0.76 %     1.60 %
Expected life
 
5 years
   
5 years
 
Expected volatility
    121 %     123 %
Expected dividend yield
    0 %     0 %
 
The Company’s computation of expected volatility for the periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 is based on the Company’s market close price over the period equal to the expected life of the options. The Company’s computation of expected life reflects actual historical exercise activity and assumptions regarding future exercise activity of unexercised, outstanding options.
 
The Company’s expected dividend yield is 0%, since there is no history of paying dividends and there are no plans to pay dividends. The Company’s risk-free interest rate is the Canadian Treasury Bond rate for the period equal to the expected term.
 
The total number of options outstanding as at June 30, 2015 was 8,436,791 (December 31, 2014 – 4,834,991).  The weighted average grant date fair value of the options granted during the year ended June 30, 2015, was $0.58 (2014 - $0.41).

When employees or non-employees exercise their stock options, the capital stock is credited by the sum of the consideration paid together with the related portion previously credited to additional paid-in capital when stock-based compensation costs were recorded.
 
As at June 30, 2015, the Company had 3,703,111 (2014 – 2,508,149) vested options. As at June 30, 2015, the number of unvested options expected to vest (including the impact of expected forfeitures) had been estimated at 4,733,680 (2014 – 2,601,181) with a weighted average contractual life of 3.9 years (2014 – 4.0 years) and exercise price of $0.64 (2014 - $0.45). As at June 30, 2015, the total fair value of future expense to be recorded in subsequent periods (assuming no forfeiture occurs) is $2,126,440 (2014 - $339,314). The weighted average time remaining for these options to vest is 2.79 years (2014 – 1.71 years).
 
As at June 30, 2015, the aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding options was $11,604,910 (December 31, 2014 - $209,700) and the aggregate intrinsic value of exercisable options was $4,552,996 (December 31, 2014 - $80,848) based on the Company’s closing common share price on the OTCQX under the trading symbol TBUFF of US$1.45 ($1.81) (December 31, 2014 - US$0.46 ($0.53)).

The Company recognizes compensation expense for the fair values of stock options using the graded vesting method over the requisite service period for the entire award.

On May 11, 2012, the Company granted 750,000 warrants in connection with a loan agreement with MidCap Financial LLC, at an exercise price of US$0.56 ($0.70). Subsequently, the pro rata exercise price of the 750,000 warrants described above was adjusted due to the exercise rate of the 755,794 common share purchase warrants being issued to SWK during 2013.  The effect of this pro rata change was a new warrant exercise price of US$0.43 ($0.54). The fair value of these warrants fluctuates 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. The fair value of the warrant liability at the date of grant of the 750,000 warrants was $312,000 and was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 124%; risk free interest rate of 1.48%; and expected term of 5 years.

In connection with the SWK Credit Agreement the Company issued to SWK 755,794 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$0.5954 ($0.7427), at any time prior to August 8, 2020.  The fair value of the warrant liability at the date of grant was $445,012 and was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 128%; risk free interest rate of 2.14%; and expected term of 7 years.

In connection with the private placement offerings completed during the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company granted an aggregate of 12,161,571 share purchase warrants to the participants each exercisable into one common share as follows:  6,026,438 at US$0.50 ($0.62) exercisable on or before March 11, 2015 and 6,026,437 at US$0.60 ($0.75) exercisable on or before March 11, 2018. The exercise price of the 12,052,875 warrants is denominated in U.S. dollars while the Company’s functional and reporting currency is the Canadian dollar. As a result, the fair value of the warrants fluctuates 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. The fair value of the warrant liability at the date of grant for these warrants was $1,896,679 and was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the following weighted average assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 117.4%; risk free interest rate of 1.16%; and expected term of 3.5 years. The remaining 108,696 share purchase warrants are exercisable on or before September 20, 2018 at US$0.55 ($0.68). The fair value of the warrant liability at the date of grant for these warrants was $22,810 and was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the following weighted average assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 130.0%; risk free interest rate of 1.89%; and expected term of 5 years.

In connection with the additional US$2,000,000 ($2,211,000) loan from SWK described in Note 9, 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 ($0.5388), at any time on or prior to February 4, 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.

In connection with the additional US$6,000,000 ($6,724,800) loan described in Note 9, the Company issued SWK 740,000 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$0.70 ($0.87), at any time on or prior to October 1, 2019. The fair value of the warrant liability at the date of grant was $303,557 and was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 122%; risk free interest rate of 1.56%; and expected term of 5 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 consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and deficit.  The Company treated the compensation warrants as a liability upon their issuance. The warrant liability is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy (see Note 19(b)).

As at June 30, 2015, the fair value of the aggregate warrant liability of $9,575,408 (December 31, 2014 - $3,107,880) was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following weighted average assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0% (December 31, 2014 – 0%) expected volatility of 98% (December 31, 2014 – 88%) risk-free interest rate of 1.02% (December 31, 2014 – 1.22%) and expected term of 3.18 years (December 31, 2014 – 2.18 years).

This model requires management to make estimates of the expected volatility of its common shares, the expected term of the warrants and interest rates. The risk free interest rate is based on the Canadian Treasury Bond rate. The Company has not paid dividends and does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. The expected term of the warrants is the contractual term of the warrants upon initial recognition.

For the period ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded a loss of $8,877,489 (2014 – $4,617,749) as change in warrant liability on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

In connection with the private placement completed during the six month period ended June 30, 2015, the Company issued 456,529 non-transferable broker warrants, each exercisable into a common share of the Company, at an exercise price of $0.92 exercisable at any time on or prior to May 21, 2017.

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 years 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 periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 consist of outstanding stock options (8,436,791 and 5,139,070, respectively) and outstanding warrant grants (26,444,260 and 14,014,587, respectively) and convertible debentures (2,813,778 and nil, respectively).

The Company has non-refundable tax credits as at June 30, 2015 of $341,300 (December 31, 2014 - $341,300).

The cumulative carry-forward pool of scientific research and experimental development (SR&ED) expenditures as at June 30, 2015 applicable to future years, with no expiry date, is $1,798,300 (December 31, 2014 - $1,798,300). The tax credits have a full valuation allowance on them as they do not meet the more-likely-than-not test.

Expenses incurred in currencies other than Canadian dollars are therefore subject to gains or losses due to fluctuations in these currencies. As at June 30, 2015, the Company held cash of $9,151,391 (US$7,060,322 and €247,534) in denominations other than in Canadian dollars (December 31, 2014 - $1,319,013 (US$1,135,304 and €1,387)); had accounts receivables of $907,613 (US$662,581 and €245,031) denominated in foreign currencies (December 31, 2014 - $319,764 (US$67,125 and €172,313); had accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $6,715,328 (US$6,459,127, €253,318 and Swiss Francs $2,882) denominated in foreign currencies (December 31, 2014 – $32,857 (US$26,125 and €1,816)); warrant liability of $9,575,408 (US$7,676,293) (December 31, 2014 - $3,107,880 (US$2,682,994)); and long term debt of $17,040,731 (US$13,661,000) (December 31, 2014 - $16,241,400 (US$14,000,000)). For the period ended June 30, 2015, the Company had a foreign currency (loss) of ($918,527) (2014 – a gain of $185,559). These amounts have been included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations, and comprehensive loss.
 
19.           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 and debentures are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Warrant liability and other current liability are financial assets/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 and other current liability are classified as Level 2 financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy.

(b)            
Derivative liability – warrant liability

In connection with various financing arrangements, the Company has issued warrants to purchase up to 6,857,962 common shares of the Company as disclosed in Note 10c.  The warrants have a weighted average exercise price of US$0.58 ($0.73).  The warrants expire at dates ranging from May 11, 2017 to October 1, 2021.  The warrants are accounted for as derivative liabilities because the exercise price is denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency.

These instruments were valued using pricing models that incorporate the price of a common share (as quoted on the relevant over-the-counter trading market in the U.S.), volatility, risk free rate, dividend rate and estimated life. The Company computed the value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes model. There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 during the periods ended June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

(c)           
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’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, 2015, 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 the Company can meet some of its operating cash flow requirements through financing activities, such as private placements of common shares 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 the Company elect to satisfy its cash commitments through the issuance of securities, by way of either private placement or public offering or otherwise, there can be no assurance that its efforts to obtain such additional funding will be successful, or achieved on terms favorable to the Company or its existing shareholders. If adequate funds are not available on terms favorable to the Company, it may have to reduce substantially or eliminate expenditures such as promotion, marketing or production of its 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 its technologies or products. 

(d)           
Concentration of credit risk and major customers

The Company considers its maximum credit risk to be $5,055,924 (December 31, 2014 - $2,161,133). 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 14 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, 2015, the Company had three customers which made up 71.5% of the outstanding accounts receivable in comparison to two customers which made up 65.7% at December 31, 2014.  As at June 30, 2015, 26.6% (December 31, 2014 – 12.2%) of the outstanding accounts receivable was related to product sales related to two wholesale accounts (December 31, 2014 – one wholesale account) and 44.9% (December 31, 2014 – 53.5%) was related to an amount owing related to the product sales.

(e)                   
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, 2015, a 5% change in the foreign exchange rate would increase/decrease the long term debt balance by $700,000 and would increase/decrease both interest expense and net loss by approximately $59,500 for the period ended June 30, 2015.  As at June 30, 2015, a 5% change in the foreign exchange rate would increase/decrease the warrant liability balance by $479,000 and would increase/decrease both changes in warrant liability and net loss by $479,000 for the period ended June 30, 2015.  As at June 30, 2015, a 5% change in the foreign exchange rate would increase/decrease the accounts payable and accrued liabilities balance by $335,766 and would increase/decrease net loss by $335,766 for the period ended June 30, 2015.
 
 
F-31

 
 
(f)                   
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, 2015, the Company had an outstanding long term debt balance of US$13,661,000 ($17,040,731), 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 period ended June 30, 2015, a 1% increase in interest rates would increase interest expense and net loss by approximately $85,200.  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.
 
20.
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 consolidated balance sheets at fair value.

During the period ended June 30, 2015, 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$3,500,000 was $4,397,400 at July 23, 2015.

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 consolidated statements of operations when the hedged transaction occurs.

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, 2015 was a loss of $24,850 (December 31, 2014 – $nil), and is reported in other current asset/liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. During the period ended June 30, 2015, the Company had not settled any foreign exchange contracts (June 30, 2014 - recognized a gain of $3,200).

At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the notional principal and fair value of the Company’s outstanding foreign currency derivative financial instruments were as follows:
 
     
June 30, 2015

The notional principal amounts provide one measure of the transaction volume outstanding as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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, 2015 and December 31, 2014. 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.

21.           Subsequent Events
 
Subsequent to June 30, 2015, the Company issued 1,235,214 common shares in connection with the exercise of 1,057,322 common share purchase warrants and 153,425 compensation options exercised at a weighted average exercise price of $0.87 per common share, for aggregate proceeds of $1,069,199.  In addition, the Company issued 76,712 common share purchase warrants on the exercise of 153,425 compensation options. Each such warrant has an exercise price of $0.90 and an expiry date of July 15, 2016 (Note 10(c)).

TRIBUTE PHARMACEUTICALS CANADA INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
(Unaudited)
 
 
1.    Basis of Presentation
 
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for Tribute Pharmaceuticals Canada Inc.’s (“Tribute” or the “Company”) most recently completed fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.  These unaudited condensed interim consolidated 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 consolidated 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, 2014, except when disclosed below.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tribute and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Tribute Pharmaceuticals International Inc., Tribute Pharmaceuticals US, Inc. and Medical Futures Inc. (See Note 2).  All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
 
The unaudited condensed interim consolidated 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, 2015, and the results of its operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 and its cash flows for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.  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 consolidated 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, share based compensation, revenue recognition, intangible assets, goodwill 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.
 
Proposed Merger Transaction

On June 8, 2015, Tribute entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Arrangement (the “Transaction Agreement”) with Pozen, Inc. (“Pozen”). Upon the completion of the transaction contemplated thereby, which is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2015, subject to satisfaction of various conditions, the combined company will be named Aralez Pharmaceuticals plc (“Aralez”). At closing, each common share of Tribute will be exchanged for 0.1455 Aralez ordinary shares.  This transaction is subject to shareholder approval, as well as various regulatory approvals.
 
2.    Acquisitions
 
Fibricor Asset Acquisition
 
On May 21, 2015, Tribute Pharmaceuticals International Inc., (a wholly owned subsidiary of Tribute) a Barbados corporation, acquired the U.S. rights to Fibricor® and its related authorized generic (the “Product”) from a wholly owned step-down subsidiary of Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (“Sun Pharma”).  Financial terms of the deal include the payment of US$10,000,000 as follows: US$5,000,000 ($6,100,500) paid on closing; US$2,000,000 ($2,494,800) payable 180 days from closing; and, US$3,000,000 ($3,742,200) payable 365 days from closing. As at June 30, 2015, US$5,000,000 ($6,237,000) has been accrued and included in amounts payable and contingent consideration on the condensed interim consolidated balance sheet.
 
 
F-36

 
 
MFI Acquisition
 
On June 16, 2015, Tribute entered into a share purchase agreement (the ‘‘Share Purchase Agreement’’) with the shareholders of Medical Futures Inc. (‘‘MFI’’) pursuant to which Tribute acquired on such date (the ‘‘MFI Acquisition’’) all of the outstanding shares of MFI (the ‘‘MFI Shares’’). The consideration paid for the MFI Shares was comprised of (1) $8,492,868 in cash on closing, (2) $5,000,000 through the issuance of 3,723,008 Tribute common shares, (3) $5,000,000 in the form of a one-year term promissory note (the ‘‘Note’’) bearing interest at 8% annually convertible in whole or in part at the holder’s option at any time during the term into 2,813,778 Tribute common shares at a conversion rate of $1.77 per Tribute common share (subject to adjustment in certain events), with a maturity date of June 16, 2016 (4) retention payments of $507,132, reported as amounts payable and contingent consideration on the condensed interim consolidated balance sheet, and (5) future contingent cash milestone payments totaling $5,695,000 that will be paid only upon obtaining certain consents. In addition, on the receipt of each regulatory approval for MFI’s two pipeline products described below (or upon the occurrence of a change of control of Tribute), the vendors will receive a payment of $1,250,000 per product. The Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration by assigning an achievement probability to each potential milestone and discounting the associated cash payment to its present value using a risk adjusted rate of return. The Company evaluates its estimates of fair value of contingent consideration liabilities at the end of each reporting period until the liability is settled. Any changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities are included in change in fair value of contingent consideration on the statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The liability for these amounts payable, are reported together as “amounts payable and contingent consideration” on the balance sheet.  The Company has accrued $5,695,000 related to obtaining certain consents as an achievement probability of 100% was assigned to those contingent milestone payments.  The contingent payments related to the two pipeline products are reliant on regulatory approval.  As the achievement of regulatory approval cannot be reliably estimated by the Company, an achievement probability of 0% was assigned and therefore no accrual recorded on the Balance Sheet.

The MFI Acquisition diversifies Tribute’s product portfolio in Canada through the addition of thirteen (13) marketed products (Durela®, Proferrin®, Iberogast®, Moviprep®, Normacol®, Resultz®, Pegalax®, BalanseTM, BalanseTM Kids, BalanseTM, DiaflorTM, Mutaflor®, Purfem®, and Onypen®), one product recently approved by Health Canada but not launched (ibSuim) and two pipeline products, OctasaTM and BedBugzTM, both of which are pending submission to Health Canada.

The Company recorded an accrual of $1,132,398 in acquisition and restructuring costs during the six month period ended June 30, 2015, on the condensed interim consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

In connection with the MFI Acquisition, the Company acquired assets with a fair value of $36,677,236.  Assets consisted of cash of $81,223, receivables of $1,757,912, inventory of $1,559,353, prepaids of $263,660, property, plant and equipment of $334,764, intangible assets of $28,652,850 and taxes recoverable of $94,286 and goodwill of $3,933,188.  Liabilities were also assumed of $11,982,236 consisting of bank indebtedness of $1,937,475, accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $2,450,391 and a deferred tax liability of $7,594,370.  The estimated fair value of the intangible assets was determined based on the use of the discounted cash flow models using an income approach for the acquired licenses.  Estimated revenues were probability adjusted to take into account the stage of completion and the risks surrounding successful development and commercialization. The license agreement assets are classified as indefinite-lived intangible assets until the successful completion and commercialization or abandonment of the associated marketing and development efforts.  The licensing asset and licensing agreements relate to product license agreements having estimated useful lives of 4 to 22 years. The Company believes that the fair values assigned to the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and the contingent consideration liabilities were based on reasonable assumptions
 
Pro Forma Results: The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information summarizes the results of operations for the periods indicated as if the MFI Acquisition had been completed as of January 1, 2014 after giving effect to certain adjustments. The unaudited pro forma information is provided for illustrative purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations or financial condition that would have been achieved if the MFI Acquisition would have taken place as of January 1, 2014 and should not be taken as indicative of future results of operations or financial condition. Pro forma adjustments are tax-effected at the effective tax rate.

(b)           Stock Based Compensation
 
The Company’s stock-based compensation program (the “Plan”) includes share 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, 2015, there were 616,617 and 3,775,520 options, respectively, granted to officers, employees and consultants of the Company (2014 – 29,740 and 1,327,985, respectively). The exercise price of 2,925,520 of these options is $0.62, vesting quarterly one-eighth over two years on each of March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, in 2016 and 2017. Of these options 864,000 are time-based, while the remaining 2,311,520 are based 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 $0.51 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 121%; expected risk free interest rate of 0.61%; and expected term of 5 years.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2015, 200,000 options were granted with an exercise price of $0.62 and will fully vest on January 4, 2016 (Note 13). The grant date fair value of these options was estimated as $0.43 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 121%; expected risk free interest rate of 0.87%; and expected term of 5 years.
 
 
F-41

 
 
In addition, 600,000 options were granted based on achieving certain financial objectives, with an exercise price of $0.99 and will vest quarterly over three years on each of March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, in 2016, 2017 and 2018. The grant date fair value of these options was estimated as $0.75 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 122%; expected risk free interest rate of 1.07%; and expected term of 5 years.

The remaining 50,000 options were granted with an exercise price of $0.62, with one quarter vesting over one year on each of April 29, July 29, October 29 in 2015 and January 29, 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 122%; expected risk free interest rate of 0.87%; and expected term of 5 years.

For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded $683,338 and $1,030,689, respectively (2014 – $99,944 and $217,076, respectively) as additional paid in capital for options issued to directors, officers, employees and consultants based on continuous service.  Included in this amount is $458,162 and $630,839 for options issued to consultants for services (Note 13). This expense was recorded as selling, general and administrative expense on the condensed interim consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss and deficit.  Due to termination of employment and non-achievement of performance-based awards, 172,085 options were removed from the number of options issued during the six month period ended June 30, 2015 (year ended December 31, 2014 – 817,830).

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 12,505,057 as at June 30, 2015 (December 31, 2014 – 9,447,624).

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 consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and deficit.  The Company treated the compensation warrants as a liability upon their issuance. The warrant liability is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy (see Note 17(b)).

As at June 30, 2015, the fair value of the aggregate warrant liability of $9,575,408 (December 31, 2014 - $3,107,880) was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following weighted average assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0% (December 31, 2014 – 0%) expected volatility of 98% (December 31, 2014 – 88%) risk-free interest rate of 1.02% (December 31, 2014 – 1.22%) and expected term of 3.18 years (December 31, 2014 – 2.18 years).

During the six month period ended June 30, 2015 the Company issued 954,710 underlying warrants with an exercise price of $0.90, upon the exercise of 1,909,419 broker compensation options. The weighted average fair value of these warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following weighted average assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 84%, risk-free interest rate of 0.45%, and expected term of 1.15 years.
 
In connection with the private placement completed during the six month period ended June 30, 2015, the Company issued 456,529 non-transferable broker warrants, each exercisable into a common share of the Company, at an exercise price of $0.92 exercisable at any time on or prior to May 21, 2017. The fair value of the broker warrants at the date of grant was $205,438 and was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 92%; risk free interest rate of 0.67%; and expected term of 2 years.
 
9.    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 shares equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.  Potentially dilutive securities, which were not included in diluted weighted average shares for the six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, consisted of outstanding common share options (8,436,791 and 5,139,070, respectively), outstanding warrant grants (26,444,260 and 14,014,587, respectively) and convertible debentures (2,824,858 and nil, respectively).

16.    Foreign Currency Gain (Loss)
 
The Company enters into foreign currency transactions in the normal course of business. Expenses incurred in currencies other than Canadian dollars are therefore subject to gains or losses due to fluctuations in these currencies. As at June 30, 2015, the Company held cash of $9,151,391 (US$7,060,322 and €247,534) in denominations other than in Canadian dollars (December 31, 2014 - $1,319,013 (US$1,135,304 and €1,387)); had accounts receivables of $907,613 (US$662,581 and €245,031) denominated in foreign currencies (December 31, 2014 - $319,764 (US$67,125 and €172,313); had accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $6,715,328 (US$6,459,127, €253,318 and Swiss Francs $2,882) denominated in foreign currencies (December 31, 2014 – $32,857 (US$26,125 and €1,816)); warrant liability of $9,575,408 (US$7,676,296) (December 31, 2014 - $3,107,880 (US$2,682,994)); and long term debt of $17,463,600 (US$14,000,000) (December 31, 2014 - $16,241,400 (US$14,000,000)).

17.    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 and debentures are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Warrant liability and other current asset/liabilities are financial assets/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 and other current asset/liabilities are classified as Level 2 financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy.
 
(b)    Derivative liability – warrant liability
 
In connection with various financing arrangements, the Company has issued warrants to purchase up to 6,857,962 common shares of the Company as disclosed in Note 8c.  The warrants have a weighted average exercise price of US$0.58 ($0.73).  The warrants expire at dates ranging from May 11, 2017 to October 1, 2021.  The warrants are accounted for as derivative liabilities because the exercise price is denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency.

The table below summarizes the fair value of the Company’s financial liabilities measured at fair value:

These instruments were valued using pricing models that incorporate the price of a common share (as quoted on the relevant over-the-counter trading market in the U.S.), volatility, risk free rate, dividend rate and estimated life. The Company computed the value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes model. There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 during the periods ended June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

(c)    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’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, 2015, 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 the Company can meet some of its operating cash flow requirements through financing activities, such as private placements of common shares 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 the Company elect to satisfy its cash commitments through the issuance of securities, by way of either private placement or public offering or otherwise, there can be no assurance that its efforts to obtain such additional funding will be successful, or achieved on terms favorable to the Company or its existing shareholders. If adequate funds are not available on terms favorable to the Company, it may have to reduce substantially or eliminate expenditures such as promotion, marketing or production of its 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 its technologies or products. 
 
 
F-49

 
 
(d)    Concentration of credit risk and major customers
 
The Company considers its maximum credit risk to be $5,615,719 (December 31, 2014 - $2,161,133). 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 12 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, 2015, the Company had two customers which made up 48.2% of the outstanding accounts receivable in comparison to two customers which made up 65.7% at December 31, 2014.  As at June 30, 2015, 23.9% (December 31, 2014 – 12.2%) of the outstanding accounts receivable was related to product sales related to one wholesale account (December 31, 2014 – one wholesale account) and 24.3% (December 31, 2014 – 53.5%) was related to an amount owing related to the product sales.
 
(e)    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, 2015, a 5% change in the foreign exchange rate would increase/decrease the long term debt balance by $700,000 and would increase/decrease both interest expense and net loss by approximately $59,500 for the six month period ended June 30, 2015.  As at June 30, 2015, a 5% change in the foreign exchange rate would increase/decrease the warrant liability balance by $479,000 and would increase/decrease both changes in warrant liability and net loss by $479,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2015.  As at June 30, 2015, a 5% change in the foreign exchange rate would increase/decrease the accounts payable and accrued liabilities balance by $335,766 and would increase/decrease net loss by $335,766 for the six month period ended June 30, 2015.
 
(f)    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, 2015, the Company had an outstanding long term debt balance of US$13,660,991 ($17,040,620), 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, 2015, a 1% increase in interest rates would increase interest expense and net loss by approximately $174,600.  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.
 
18.    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 six month period ended June 30, 2015, 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$3,500,000 was $4,397,400 at July 23, 2015.

 
F-50

 
 
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.

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, 2015 was a loss of $24,850 (December 31, 2014 – $nil), and is reported in other current asset/liability in the accompanying balance sheets. During the six month period ended June 30, 2015, the Company had not settled any foreign exchange contracts (2014 - recognized a gain of $3,200).

At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the notional principal and fair value of the Company’s outstanding foreign currency derivative financial instruments were as follows:

The notional principal amounts provide one measure of the transaction volume outstanding as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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, 2015 and December 31, 2014. 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.
 
19.           Subsequent Events

Subsequent to June 30, 2015, the Company issued 930,125 common shares in connection with the exercise of 776,700 common share purchase warrants and 153,425 compensation options exercised at a weighted average exercise price of $0.88 per common share, for aggregate proceeds of $806,428.  In addition, the Company issued 76,712 common share purchase warrants on the exercise of 153,425 compensation options. Each such warrant has an exercise price of $0.90 and an expiry date of July 15, 2016 (Note 8(c)).
