WeareThe Company is engaged in research and development activities within the remote monitoring segment of preventative care. We areThe Company is focused on a realizable healthcare business model that has an existing market and commercialization pathway. As such, ourthe Company’s efforts to date have been devoted in building technology that enables access to this market through the development of a tangible product.

 

On February 2, 2016, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with 1061806 BC LTD. (“Callco”), a British Columbia corporation and wholly owned subsidiary (incorporated on February 2, 2016), 1062024 B.C. LTD., a company existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (“Exchangeco”), iMedical, and the former shareholders of iMedical Innovations, Inc. (“iMedical”) (the “Exchange Agreement”), whereby Exchangeco acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of iMedical, taking into account certain shares pursuant to the Exchange Agreement as further explained in Note 97 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These subsidiaries were solely used for the issuance of exchangeable shares in the reverse takeover transaction and have no other transactions or balances. After giving effect to this transaction, the Company acquired all of iMedical’s assets and liabilities and commenced operations through iMedical.

 

As a result of the Share Exchange,share exchange, iMedical became a wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiary of the Company. This transaction has been accounted for as a reverse merger. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations reflected in the consolidated financial statements for the periods prior to February 2, 2016 are those of iMedical and are recorded at the historical cost basis. After February 2, 2016, the Company’s consolidated financial statements include the assets and liabilities of both iMedical and the Company and the historical operations of both after that date as one entity.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION, MEASUREMENT AND CONSOLIDATION

 

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

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are expressed in United States dollars (“USD”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. Operating results for the sixnine months ended September 30,December 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2020. The Company’s fiscal year-end is March 31.

 

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

Liquidity and Basis of Presentation

 

The Company is an emerging growth entity that is in the early stages of commercializing its first product, and iswhile concurrently in development mode,mode; it is operating a research and development program in order to develop, obtain regulatory approval for, and commercialize, other proposed products. The Company has incurred recurring losses from operations, and as at September 30,December 31, 2019, has an accumulated deficit of $39,137,210$41,531,886 and a working capital deficiency of $5,127,731.$1,355,227. During the year ended March 31, 2019, the Company launched its first commercial sales program, using an experienced professional in-house sales team. The Company has developed and continues to pursue sources of funding that management believes, if successful, wouldwill be sufficient to supportin supporting the Company’s operating plan and alleviate any substantial doubt as to its ability to meet its obligations at least for one year from the date these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. As an example of this, pursuant to previously disclosed plans, the Company has raised $3,746,575 in funding from an agreement with a private equity fund, in which the fund committed to purchase up to $25issued $6 million in additional shares ofpreferred stock during the Company at the direction and sole discretion of the Company subject to the Company’s compliance with any funding conditions, including there being an effective registration statement registering the shares of common stock issuable under the equity line. Currently, there is no effective registration registering the equity line shares; if the Company wishes to continue to draw from the from this line in the future, it will have to file a registration statement, which registration statement would then have to be declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.three months ended December 31, 2019. The Company hadhas also issued promissory note and other net short-term funding, $4,261,810 of $3,643,274which was outstanding as at September 30,December 31, 2019 (Note 7). Since commencing commercialization of its first product, the Company has also demonstrated in each successive reporting period that the technology fee revenues earned through commercialization of this product recur and raised a further $870,000 subsequently; it also has a written commitment for an additional $5 million in debt financing from a private debt fund.grow, on the basis of continued and growing market penetration of its sales, and growing and recurring utilization of its technology services.

 

The Company’s operating plan is predicated on a variety of assumptions including, but not limited to, the level of product demand, cost estimates, its ability to continue to raise additional financing and the state of the general economic environment in which the Company operates. There can be no assurance that these assumptions will prove to be accurate in all material respects, or that the Company will be able to successfully execute its operating plan. In the absence of additional appropriate financing, the Company may have to modify its operating plan or slow down the pace of development and commercialization of its proposed products.

 

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Areas involving significant estimates and assumptions include:include deferred income tax assets and related valuation allowance, accruals and valuation of derivatives, convertible promissory notes, stock options, and assumptions used in the going concern assessment. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates are reviewed periodically, and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become known.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260-10 which provides for calculation of “basic” and “diluted” earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. Diluted earnings per share exclude all potentially dilutive shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. There were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding as at September 30,December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands required disclosure about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

● Level 1 – Valuation based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

● Level 2 – Valuation based on quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets.

 

● Level 3 – Valuation based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring management’s best estimate of what market participants would use as fair value.

 

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

 

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments or interest rates that are comparable to market rates. These financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, deposits and other receivables, convertible promissory notes and short-term loans, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and accruedderivative liabilities. The Company’s cash and derivative liabilities, which are carried at fair values, are classified as a Level 1 and Level 2, respectively. The Company’s bank accounts are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit, therefore, bear minimal credit risk.

 

Leases

 

On April 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, “Leases” (“ASC 842”) to replace existing lease accounting guidance. This pronouncement is intended to provide enhanced transparency and comparability by requiring lessees to record right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases. Expenses associated with leases will continue to be recognized in a manner similar tolike previous accounting guidance. The Company adopted ASC 842 utilizing the transition practical expedient added by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), which eliminates the requirement that entities apply the new lease standard to the comparative periods presented in the year of adoption.

 

The Company is the lessee in a lease contract when the Company obtains the right to use the asset. Operating leases are included in the line items right-of-use asset, lease obligation, current, and lease obligation, long-term in the consolidated balance sheet. Right-of-use (“ROU”) asset represents the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease obligations represent the Company’s obligations to make lease payments arising from the lease, both of which are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. Leases with a lease term of 12 months or less at inception are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet and are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term in our consolidated statement of income. The Company determines the lease term by agreement with lessor. As our lease dodoes not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company uses the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. Refer to Note 9 for further discussion.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

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

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement (FASB ASU 2018-07) to expand the scope of ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company has completed the assessment and there is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of this pronouncementno significant impact on the consolidated financial statements, including potential early adoption.statements.

 

On April 1, 2018, the Company adopted the accounting pronouncement issued by the FASB to clarify how entities should present restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. This guidance requires entities to show changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the combined statement of cash flows. This guidance was adopted on a retrospective basis, and such adoption did not have a material impact on combined financial position and/or results of operations.

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the accounting pronouncement issued by the FASB to clarify how entities should present restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. This guidance requires entities to show changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the combined statement of cash flows. This guidance was adopted on a retrospective basis, and such adoption did not have a material impact on combined financial position and/or results of operations.

 

In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-11 (“ASU 2017-11”), which addressed accounting for (I) certain financial instruments with down round features and (II) replacement of the indefinite deferral for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests with a scope exception. The main provisions of Part I of ASU 2017-11 “change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share (EPS) to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS.” Under previous US GAAP, warrants with a down round feature are not being considered indexed to the entity’s own stock, which results in classification of the warrant as a derivative liability. Under ASU 2017-11, the down round feature qualifies for a scope exception from derivative treatment. ASU 2017-11 is effective for public companies as of December 15, 2018 and interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period, with adjustments reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year. The Company has issued financial instruments with down round features. The Company opted to adopt ASU 2017-11 in its three-month interim period ended September 30, 2017, which is effective from April 1, 2017, with adjustments reflected in the accumulated deficit of stockholders’ deficiency as of April 1, 2017. Please refer to Note 6.

The amendments in this Update require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this Update do not provide a definition of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The amendments in this Update should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. Management does not expect to have a significant impact of this ASU on the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2017, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASU 2017-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting.” ASU 2017-09 provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial position and/or results of operations.

On April 1, 2017, the Company adopted the accounting pronouncement issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes within the balance sheet. This pronouncement eliminates the requirement that deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented as current or noncurrent based on the nature of the underlying assets and liabilities. Instead, the pronouncement requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, including valuation allowances, be classified as noncurrent. We adopted this pronouncement on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial position and/or results of operations.

5. CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES

 

Prior to April 1, 2016, pursuant to a term sheet offering of up to $2,000,000, the Company issued convertible promissory notes to various accredited investors amounting to $1,368,978 in face value. These notes had a maturity date of 24 months and carried an annual interest rate of 11%. The note holders had the right to convert any outstanding and unpaid principal portion of the note, and accrued interest, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock any time until the note was fully paid. The notes had a conversion price initially set at $1.78. Upon any future financings completed by the Company, the conversion price was to reset to 75% of the future financing pricing. These notes did not contain prepayment penalties upon redemption. These notes were secured by all of the present and after acquired property of the Company. However, the Company could force conversion of these notes, if during the term of the agreement, the Company completed a public listing and the common share price exceeded the conversion price for at least 20 consecutive trading days. At the closing of the notes, the Company paid cash (7%) and issued warrants (7% of the number of common shares into which the notes may be converted) to a broker. The broker received 3% in cash and warrants for those investors introduced by the Company. The warrants had a term of 24 months and a similar reset provision based on future financings.

 

Pursuant to the conversion provisions in promissory notes existing at that time, in August 2016, promissory notes in the aggregate face value of $1,368,978 were converted into 912,652 shares of common stock as detailed below. The fair value of the common shares was $2,907,912 and $1,538,934 was allocated to the related derivative liabilities (see note 6) and the balance to the carrying value of the notes.

In March 2016, the Company commenced a bridge offering of up to an aggregate of $2,500,000 of convertible promissory notes. Up to March 31, 2017, the Company issued, to various investors, a new series of convertible notes (“Bridge Notes”) in the aggregate face value of $2,455,000 (December 31, 2016 – $2,230,000). The Bridge Notes had a maturity date of 12 months from issuance and carried an annual interest rate of 10%. The Bridge Notes principal and all outstanding accrued interest were convertible into common stock based on the average of the lowest 3 trading days volume weighted average price over the last 10 trading days plus an embedded warrant at maturity. However, all the outstanding principal and accrued interest would convert into units/securities upon the consummation of a qualified financing, based upon the lesser of: (i) $1.65 per units/securities and (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the balance on the forced conversion date multiplied by 1.20 by (y) the actual price per unit/security in the qualified financing. Upon the maturity date of the notes, the Company also has an obligation to issue warrants exercisable into a number of shares of the Company securities equal to (i) in the case of a qualified financing, the number of shares issued upon conversion of the note and (ii) in all other cases, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the outstanding balance by 2.00.

 

In connection with the Bridge Notes offering, the accreted value of this offering was as follows as at March 31, 2017:

Face value of Bridge Notes as of September 30,December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019  - 

 

The embedded conversion features and reset feature in the notes and broker warrants were initially accounted for as a derivative liability based on FASB guidance that was current at that time (see Note 6).

 

During the sixnine months ended September 30,December 31, 2019, the Company borrowed $1,231,652,$2,231,652, in promissory notes from certain of its accredited investors, in addition to $867,699 borrowed during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. These notes are generally for a 1-year term at interest rates of between 10%, and 12% with allowance for the Company to repay early, and the possibility to convert into equity on the basis of mutual consent. Management has evaluated the terms of these notes in accordance with the guidance provided by ASC 470 and ASC 815 and concluded that there is no derivative or beneficial conversion feature attached to these notes. Pursuant to certain promissory notes issuance, warrants to purchase the Company’s shares of common stock were granted, and the Company has determined the fair value of those warrants and bifurcated $68,057 from the proceeds received during the nine months ended December 31, 2019 with a credit to additional paid-in capital. (Note 7). For the nine months ended December 31, 2019, accretion of interest in the amount of $26,058 was charged to the statement of operations.

On September 30,December 31, 2019, the Company has also borrowed $1,543,923$1,204,458 from certain of its investors on a short-term basis pending issuance of additional convertible promissory notes, doing so at interest rates between zero and 10%.

 

General and administrative expenses include interest expense on the above notes of $66,044$113,781 and $96,095,$211,963, respectively, for the three and sixnine months ended September 30,December 31, 2019 (nil for the corresponding periods of 2018).

6. DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

 

TheAccounting PronouncementsASU 2017-11 provided a change to the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. During the quarter ended December 31, 2017, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2017-11 to account for the down round features of its warrants issued with its private placements effective April 1, 2017. The Company used a modified retrospective approach to adoption, which does not restate its financial statements as at the prior year end, March 31, 2017. Adoption is effective as of April 1, 2017, the beginning of the Company’s current fiscal year. The cumulative effect of this accounting standard update adjusted accumulated deficit as of April 1, 2017 by $483,524, with a corresponding adjustment to derivative liabilities:

 

Balance Sheet Impacts Under ASU 2017-11 As of April 1, 2017 
Accumulated Deficit $483,524

The impact on the unaudited June 30, 2017 Balance Sheet and Statement of Operations is as follows:

Income Statement Impacts Under ASU 2017-11 As of June 30, 2017 
Reversal of change in fair value of derivative liabilities $21,540 

 

In connection with the sale of debt or equity instruments, the Company may sell options or warrants to purchase its common stock. In certain circumstances, these options or warrants have previously been classified as derivative liabilities, rather than as equity. Additionally, the debt or equity instruments may contain embedded derivative instruments, which in certain circumstances may be required to be bifurcated from the associated host instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument liability.

 

Previously, the Company’s derivative instrument liabilities were re-valued at the end of each reporting period, with changes in the fair value of the derivative liability recorded as charges or credits to income in the period in which the changes occurred. For options, warrants and bifurcated embedded derivative features that were accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, the Company estimated fair value using either quoted market prices of financial instruments with similar characteristics or other valuation techniques. The valuation techniques require assumptions related to the remaining term of the instruments and risk-free rates of return, our current common stock price and expected dividend yield, and the expected volatility of our common stock price over the life of the option. The details of derivative liabilities (pre and post adoption of ASU 2017-11) were as follows:

Derivative liabilities as at September 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019 (post ASU 2017-11 adoption)  - 

 

The lattice methodology was used to value the derivative components, using the following assumptions:

 

  Assumptions 
Dividend yield  0.00%
Risk-free rate for term  0.62% – 1.14%
Volatility  103% – 118%
Remaining terms (Years)  0.01 – 1.0 
Stock price ($ per share) $2.50 and $2.70 

 

The projected annual volatility curve for valuation at issuance and period end was based on the comparable company’s annual volatility. The Company used market trade stock prices at issuance and period end date.

 

As explained in Note 7, during the three months ended December 31, 2019, pursuant to issuance of shares of its Series A preferred stock, the Company analyzed the compound features of variable conversion and redemption embedded in this instrument, for potential derivative accounting treatment on the basis of ASC 820–10–35–37 (Fair Value in Financial Instruments), ASC 815 (Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities) and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 00–19 and EITF 07–05, and determined that the embedded derivatives should be bundled and valued as a single, compound embedded derivative, bifurcated from the underlying equity instrument and treated as a derivative liability, to be measured at fair value.

b) Exchange Agreement

 

As initially described in Note 1 above, on February 2, 2016:

 

 The Company issued approximately 1.197 shares of its common stock in exchange for each common share of iMedical held by the iMedical shareholders who in general terms, are not residents of Canada (for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada). Accordingly, the Company issued 13,376,947 shares;
 Shareholders of iMedical who in general terms, are Canadian residents (for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) received approximately 1.197 Exchangeable Shares in the capital of Exchangeco in exchange for each common share of iMedical held. Accordingly, the Company issued 9,123,031 Exchangeable Shares;
 Each outstanding option to purchase common shares in iMedical (whether vested or unvested) was exchanged, without any further action or consideration on the part of the holder of such option, for approximately 1.197 economically equivalent replacement options with an inverse adjustment to the exercise price of the replacement option to reflect the exchange ratio of approximately 1.197:1;
 Each outstanding warrant to purchase common shares in iMedical was adjusted, in accordance with the terms thereof, such that it entitles the holder to receive approximately 1.197 shares of the common stock of the Company for each warrant, with an inverse adjustment to the exercise price of the warrants to reflect the exchange ratio of approximately 1.197:1
 Each outstanding advisor warrant to purchase common shares in iMedical was adjusted, in accordance with the terms thereof, such that it entitles the holder to receive approximately 1.197 shares of the common stock of the Company for each advisor warrant, with an inverse adjustment to the exercise price of the Advisor Warrants to reflect the exchange ratio of approximately 1.197:1; and
 The outstanding 11% secured convertible promissory notes of iMedical were adjusted, in accordance with the adjustment provisions thereof, as and from closing, so as to permit the holders to convert (and in some circumstances permit the Company to force the conversion of) the convertible promissory notes into shares of the common stock of the Company at a 25% discount to purchase price per share in Biotricity’s next offering.

As of March 31, 2018, and March 31, 2017, there were no outstanding vested options and 137,500 unvested options at an exercise price of $.0001 under this plan. These options now represent the right to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock using the same exchange ratio of approximately 1.1969:1, thus there were 164,590 (35,907 had been cancelled) adjusted unvested options as at March 31, 2018. These remaining 164,590 options were exercised during the year ended March 31, 2019. No other grants will be made under this plan.

9. RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS AND LEASE OBLIGATIONS

 

The Company has one operating lease primarily for office and administration.

 

The Company adopted ASC 842 – Leases using the modified retrospective cumulative catch-up approach beginning on April 1, 2019. Under this approach, the Company did not restate its comparative amounts and recognized a right-of-use asset equal to the present value of the future lease payments. The Company elected to apply the practical expedient to only transition contracts which were previously identified as leases and also elected to not recognize right-of-use assets and lease obligations for leases of low value assets.

 

When measuring the lease obligations, the Company discounted lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate at April 1, 2019. The weighted-average-rate applied is 10%.

Company Overview

 

Biotricity Inc. (“Company”, “Biotricity”, “we”, “us” or “our”)

 

Biotricity Inc. (the “Company”, “Biotricity”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is a medical technology company focused on biometric data monitoring solutions. Our aim is to deliver innovative, remote monitoring solutions to the medical, healthcare, and consumer markets, with a focus on diagnostic and post-diagnostic solutions for lifestyle and chronic illnesses. We approach the diagnostic side of remote patient monitoring by applying innovation within existing business models where reimbursement is established. We believe this approach reduces the risk associated with traditional medical device development and accelerates the path to revenue. In post-diagnostic markets, we intend to apply medical grade biometrics to enable consumers to self-manage, thereby driving patient compliance and reducing healthcare costs. We intend to first focus on a segment of the multi-billion-dollar diagnostic mobile cardiac telemetry market, otherwise known as MCT.MCT, while providing our chosen markets with the capability to also perform other cardiac studies.

 

We have developed our BiofluxBioflux® MCT technology, which is comprised of a monitoring device and software component and is currentlycomponents, which we have commercialized and made available into the market since April 6, 2018. The Company engaged in a limited market release of this technology for the twelve months following launch was a limited market release where the company focused on thein order to assess, establish and develop sales processes and market dynamics. As of April 1, 2019, the Company completed its limited market release and is now focusedto focus its commercialization efforts on sales growth and expansion. Currently, we are experiencing growth through new sales and an above 80% re-order rate. In April 2019, weWe have since expanded our sales efforts to 11 key states, with intention to expand further and compete in the broader US market using an insourcing business model. This business model is applicable to a large portion of the total available market, which can include hospitals, physicians’ offices and other IDTFs. We believe our solution’s insourcing model, which empowers physicians with state-of-the-art technology and charges technology service fees for its use, has the benefit of a reduced operating overhead for the Company, and enables a more efficient market penetration and distribution strategy. This, when combined with the value the Company’s solution in the diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias, enhancement of patient outcomes, improved patient compliance, and the corresponding reduction of healthcare costs, is driving growth and increasing revenues.

We are a technology company focused on earning utilization-based recurring technology fee revenue. The Company’s ability to grow this type of revenue is predicated on the size and quality of its sales force and their ability to penetrate the market and place devices with clinically focused, repeat users of its cardiac study technology.The Company plans to grow its sales force in order to address new markets and achieve sales penetration in the markets currently served. The Company has also developed or is also developing several other ancillary technologies, which will require application for further FDA clearances, which the Company anticipates applying for during 2019.within the next to twelve months.  Among these are:

advanced ECG analysis software that can analyze and synthesize patient ECG monitoring data with the purpose of distilling it down to the important information that requires clinical intervention, while reducing the amount of human intervention necessary in the process;

the Biotres patch solution, which will be a novel product in the field of Holter monitoring;

the Bioflux® 2.0, which is the next generation of our award winning Bioflux®

We have established a research partnership with the University of Calgary to determine the predictive value of electrocardiogram (ECG) readings in preventative healthcare applications. The study is designed to identify novel patterns in ECG readings that may be translated into probability models for use in the development of proprietary algorithms for diagnostic applications, and to determine if ECG readings have predictive value for use in preventative healthcare applications, such as self-managed care. The research is partly funded by the National Research Council of Canada. As part of the collaboration, we have the right to license any intellectual property discovered, created or reduced to practice in the performance of the collaboration that was created solely by the University’s personnel. Otherwise, we own all intellectual property resulting from the collaboration. The term of the collaboration is until December 31, 2020.

 

We were incorporated on August 29, 2012 in the State of Nevada under the name Metasolutions, Inc. Effective as of February 1, 2016, we changed our name to Biotricity Inc. On February 2, 2016, we acquired iMedical Innovation Inc., a company existing under the laws of Canada, through our indirect subsidiary 1062024 B.C. LTD., a company existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. Immediately prior to the closing of the acquisition, we transferred all of the then-existing business, properties, assets, operations, liabilities and goodwill of the Company, to W270 SA, a Costa Rican corporation. Accordingly, as of immediately prior to the closing of the acquisition, we had no assets or liabilities, and subsequent to the closing wecommenced operations through iMedical. As a result, we treated the acquisition as a reverse merger and recapitalization for accounting purposes, with iMedical as the acquirer for accounting purposes.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and are expressed in United States Dollars. Significant accounting policies are summarized below:

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Areas involving significant estimates and assumptions include: deferred income tax assets and related valuation allowance, accruals and valuation of derivatives, convertible promissory notes, stock options and warrants, as well as assumptions used by management in its assessment of liquidity. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates are reviewed periodically, and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become known.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

We have adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260-10 which provides for calculation of “basic” and “diluted” earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. Diluted earnings per share exclude all potentially dilutive shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. There were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding as at September 30,December 31, 2019.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands required disclosure about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

● Level 1 – Valuation based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

● Level 2 – Valuation based on quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets.

● Level 3 – Valuation based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring management’s best estimate of what market participants would use as fair value.

Level 1 – Valuation based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Valuation based on quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets.
Level 3 – Valuation based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring management’s best estimate of what market participants would use as fair value.

 

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

 

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments or interest rates that are comparable to market rates. These financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, deposits and other receivables, convertible promissory notes and short-term loans, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and derivative liabilities. The Company’s cash and derivative liabilities, which are carried at fair values, are classified as a Level 1 and Level 2, respectively. The Company’s bank accounts are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit, therefore, bear minimal credit risk.

 

Leases

 

On April 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, “Leases” (“ASC 842”) to replace existing lease accounting guidance. This pronouncement is intended to provide enhanced transparency and comparability by requiring lessees to record right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases. Expenses associated with leases will continue to be recognized in a manner similar to previous accounting guidance. The Company adopted ASC 842 utilizing the transition practical expedient added by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), which eliminates the requirement that entities apply the new lease standard to the comparative periods presented in the year of adoption.

 

The Company is the lessee in a lease contract when the Company obtains the right to use the asset. Operating leases are included in the line items right-of-use asset, lease obligation, current, and lease obligation, long-term in the consolidated balance sheet. Right-of-use (“ROU”) asset represents the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease obligations represent the Company’s obligations to make lease payments arising from the lease, both of which are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. Leases with a lease term of 12 months or less at inception are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet and are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term in our consolidated statement of income. The Company determines the lease term by agreement with lessor. As our lease dodoes not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company uses the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

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

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement (FASB ASU 2018-07) to expand the scope of ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company has completed the assessment and there is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of this pronouncementno significant impact on the consolidated financial statements, including potential early adoption.statements.

 

On April 1, 2018, the Company adopted the accounting pronouncement issued by the FASB to clarify how entities should present restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. This guidance requires entities to show changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the combined statement of cash flows. This guidance was adopted on a retrospective basis, and such adoption did not have a material impact on combined financial position and/or results of operations.

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the accounting pronouncement issued by the FASB to clarify how entities should present restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. This guidance requires entities to show changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the combined statement of cash flows. This guidance was adopted on a retrospective basis, and such adoption did not have a material impact on combined financial position and/or results of operations.

 

In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-11 (“ASU 2017-11”), which addressed accounting for (I) certain financial instruments with down round features and (II) replacement of the indefinite deferral for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests with a scope exception. The main provisions of Part I of ASU 2017-11 “change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share (EPS) to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS.” Under previous US GAAP, warrants with a down round feature are not being considered indexed to the entity’s own stock, which results in classification of the warrant as a derivative liability. Under ASU 2017-11, the down round feature qualifies for a scope exception from derivative treatment. ASU 2017-11 is effective for public companies as of December 15, 2018 and interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period, with adjustments reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year. The Company has issued financial instruments with down round features. The Company opted to adopt ASU 2017-11 in its three-month interim period ended September 30, 2017, which is effective from April 1, 2017, with adjustments reflected in the accumulated deficit of stockholders’ deficiency as of April 1, 2017. Please refer to Note 6.

 

The amendments in this Update require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this Update do not provide a definition of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The amendments in this Update should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. Management does not expect to have a significant impact of this ASU on the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASU 2017-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting.” ASU 2017-09 provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial position and/or results of operations.

On April 1, 2017, the Company adopted the accounting pronouncement issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes within the balance sheet. This pronouncement eliminates the requirement that deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented as current or noncurrent based on the nature of the underlying assets and liabilities. Instead, the pronouncement requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, including valuation allowances, be classified as noncurrent. We adopted this pronouncement on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial position and/or results of operations.

 

Results of Operations

 

The level of grossGross revenues earned by the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30,December 31, 2019 reflect a strong growth trajectory. Gross revenues for this three-month period are 372%225% higher than those of the corresponding three-month period of the prior year and are 87%year. The Company has earned gross revenues during this three-month period that equate to 96% of the gross revenues earned in theits entire 12-month fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.

We are a technology company focused on earning utilization-based recurring technology fee revenue. On a year-to-date basis, technology fee revenues grew by over 500% for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 when compared to the corresponding period of the prior year. Based on its current sales profile, approximately 65% of its revenues are utilization-based annual recurring revenues (ARR), and this component of gross revenue is expected to increase, in both absolute and percentage terms, over time. Despite seasonally lower volume expectations, this technology fee revenue has increased by 28% in the three months ended December 31, 2019, when compared to the immediately preceding three-month period.

 

The fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 was the first year of commercialization of the BiofluxBioflux® MCT device, which was launched in April 2018, after receiving its second and final required FDA clearance in December 2017. To commence commercialization, we ordered device inventory from our FDA-approved manufacturer and hired a small, captive sales force, with deep experience in cardiac technology sales. We then commenced a limited market release of our product by identifying potential anchor clients who could be early adopters of our technology. We physically located our sales personssalespersons at those medical offices to ensure successful launch of our services and the implementation of proper workflow. During the first year of this limited market release, by March 31, 2019, we sold approximately 300 devices, which were used to perform MCT studies on patents, such that the Company earned combined device sales and technology fee income totally $398,200. Based on our success, in April 2019, we decided to expand sales of the product beyond limited release by doubling the size of our salesforce and our geographic footprint to 11 US states, and the sales pipeline of our product has begun to grow.

 

In line with its strategy, during the sixnine months ended September 30,December 31, 2019, Biotricity almost tripledcontinues to grow deployment of its fleet of remote patient monitoring devices from the levels of its most recent fiscal year-end, which was March 31, 2019. Biotricity had deployed more than 900 devices as at September 30, 2019.devices. This has resulted in combined device sales and technology fee revenues of $345,906$381,899 and $672,906$1,054,805 for the respective three- and six-monthnine-month periods then ended.

 

During these same periods, Biotricity incurred a net loss of $2,008,114$2,394,676 and $4,097,714$6,492,391 (loss per share of 5.60.066 and 110.181 cents per share, respectively), such that from its inception in 2009 to September 30, 2019, the Company has generated an accumulated deficit of $39,137,210.. During this period of initial commercialization of the Bioflux,Bioflux®, we devoted, and expect to continue to devote, significant resources in the areas of capital expenditures and research and development costs. We also expect to incur additional operating losses, as we build the infrastructure required to support higher sales volume.

Three and SixNine Months Ended September 30,December 31, 2019 and September 30,December 31, 2018

 

Operating Revenues and Expenses

 

The Company commenced commercialization of its first product on April 1, 2018, launching a limited market review to carefully rollout of its sales program to identified anchor customers in targeted areas of the U.S. During this period, the Company has used intelligence gained from its anchor clients to enhance its workflow, its monitoring and reporting capabilities, as well as its infrastructure, to expand the capabilities of its device. This device is a true four-in-one device, offering the ability to not only perform MCT studies, but to also outperform much of its competition by also providing Holter, Event Loop and Extended Holter reporting. Based on these customer facing enhancements that improve customer service, and its success with its initial limited market review, the Company expanded commercialization of its first product beyond the initial limited launch. Revenues that have been earned are comprised of device sales revenues and technology fee revenues (software as a service). The device, together with its embedded licensed software, is available for sale to the medical center or physician, who is responsible for the delivery of clinical diagnosis and therapy. The remote monitoring, data collection and reporting services performed by our technology culminate in a patient study that is generally billable when it is complete and is issued to the physician. Recurring software service fee revenues are earned on each patient study conducted and these recurring revenues are expected to grow based on the number of devices sold.

During the three months ended September 30,December 31, 2019, the Company earned total gross revenues of $345,906$381,899 compared with $84,760$117,640 for the three months ended September 30,December 31, 2018. During the sixnine months ended September 30,December 31, 2019 the Company earned total gross revenues of $672,906$1,054,805 compared with $102,420$220,060 for the six-monthnine-month period ended September 30, 3018.December 31, 2018. Given consistent utilization of our devices to perform patient cardiac studies, the Company’s technology fees are expected to be a source of recurring revenues that grow in concert with market penetration. Technology fees earned during the three-month periodand nine-month periods ended September 30,December 31, 2019 grew by almost 41%311.4% and 504.3% respectively, from those of the immediately preceding three-month period.year.

 

Total operating expenses for the three-and six-monthnine-month periods ended September 30,December 31, 2019 were $2,239,804$2,627,567 and $4,544,318$7,171,886 compared to $2,214,382$2,262,384 and $4,642,759,$6,905,143, respectively, for the three-and six-monthnine-month periods ended September 30,December 31, 2018, as further described below.

 

For the three-and six-monthnine-month period ended September 30,December 31, 2019, we incurred general and administrative expenses of $2,021,279$2,179,928 and $4,112,297$6,292,225 compared to $2,026,523$1,861,113 and $4,154,829,$6,015,942, respectively for the three-and six-monthnine-month periods ended September 30,December 31, 2018. The moderate fluctuations in expensesnet increases relate to increased payrollborrowing costs associated with using promissory note and compensation-related expensesshort-term loan funding, as well as increased marketing and professional fees. Management anticipates higher general administrative costs as it associated with commercialization, including the building of a new sales force, as well as administrative and engineering staff to support customer deployment and further development of our products and processes; combined with cost control over certain professional fees, product marketing and promotion and certain other operating expenses in favor of building the infrastructure required for the launch of a developed product.processes.

 

For the three-and six-monthnine-month periods ended September 30,December 31, 2019, we incurred research and development expenses of $218,525$447,639 and $432,021$879,661 compared to research and development expenses of $187,859 and $487,930,$401,271and $889,201, for the three-and six-monthnine-month periods ended September 30,December 31, 2018. SinceSubsequent to obtaining such FDA clearance of our first product, we are developingcontinue to develop future remote patient monitoring technologies to add to our platform. In parallel with this, we are enhancing our commercialized products by implementing artificial intelligence that learns from the monitoring data that is being processed in real time, in order to be able to reduce the amount of human intervention that would otherwise be required to process reporting of cardiac events to the clinics that prescribe and supervise the cardiac studies.

Net Loss

 

The Company incurred net losses of $2,008,114$2,394,676 and $4,097,714$6,492,391 for the three and sixnine months ended September 30,December 31, 2019, compared to net losses of $2,176,740$2,172,248 and $4,597,257$6,769,505 during the corresponding periods ended September 30,December 31, 2018. This resulted in a loss per share of $0.056$0.066 and $0.115$0.181, respectively, for the three and sixnine months ended September 30,December 31, 2019.

 

Translation Adjustment

 

The translation adjustment for the three-and six-monthnine-month periods ended September 30,December 31, 2019 was a loss of $16,329$234,820 and a loss of $38,915,$273,735, respectively, as compared to a gain of $112,866$222,217 and a gain of $10,217,$232,434, for the corresponding respective periods ended September 30,December 31, 2018. Translation adjustments represent gains and losses that result from the translation of currency in the financial statements, from the functional currency of certain of our accounting records, which are denominated in Canadian dollars to the reporting currency, which is in U.S. dollars.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company is in commercialization mode, while continuing to pursue the development of its next generation MCT product as well as other future product development.

We generally use and require cash to:

 

 purchase devices whose manufacture we commission, in order to place these in the field by selling them to prescribing cardiac physicians and their clinical facilities, who will use them to access our technology platform,
   
 hire and fuel the launch of our sales force and sales initiatives,
   
 fund operations and working capital requirements,
   
 product development and commercialization initiatives, and
   
 fund research and development of future technologies that are designed to work within our platform

 

As a result of its being in development and commercialization mode, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations, and as at September 30,December 31, 2019, has an accumulated deficit of $39,137,210.$41,531,886. Management has focused the Company on increasing its liquidity through continued business development and a demonstration of a strong and growing technology fee revenue pipeline. The Company has developed and continues to pursue sources of equity and debt funding that include but are not limited to those described below.

 

To sustain its plans during this period of Company development and growth, the Company has developed and continues to pursue sources of funding that management believes if successful would be sufficient to support the Company’s operating plan and alleviate any substantial doubt as to its ability to meet its obligations at least for one year from the date thesethe unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report are issued. As an example of this, pursuant to previously disclosed plans, the Company has raised over $3.7issued $6 million in funding from an agreement it has with a private equity fund, in whichpreferred shares during the fund has committed to purchase up to $25 million in additional shares of the Company at the direction and sole discretion of the Company subject to the Company’s compliance with any funding conditions, including there being an effective registration statement registering the shares of common stock issuable under the equity line. Currently, there is no effective registration statement; if the Company wishes to continue to draw from the from this line in the future, it will have to file a new registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which would first have to be declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.three months ended December 31, 2019. The Company has also raisedissued promissory note and short term loanother net short-term funding, from individual investors, totaling $3.6 million$4,261,810 of which was outstanding as at September 30, 2019,December 31, 2019. Since commencing commercialization of its first product, the Company has also demonstrated in each successive reporting period that the technology fee revenues earned through commercialization of this product recur and raised a further $0.9 million subsequently; itgrow, on the basis of continued and growing market penetration of its sales, and growing and recurring utilization of its technology services. Management anticipates that growth in this revenue trajectory will also has a written commitment for an additional $5 million in debt financing from a private debt fund, and is pursuing other potential sources of capital.serve to improve the Company’s liquidity position. During the sixnine months ended September 30,December 31, 2019, the Company has also issued shares of common stock, valued at $394,161or arrange for them to be issued, as compensation to consultants that provide contractual services, whichservices. This is a cost-saving strategy that favorably impacts the Company’s need for liquidity and capital resources.resources; shares issued or to be issued to pay for these services were valued at $552,848.

 

We expect to continue to devote significant resources on capital expenditures, as well as research and development costs and operations, marketing and sales expenditures. We expect to require additional funds to further develop our business plan, including the anticipated commercialization of the BiofluxBioflux® and Biolife (a consumer-friendly version). Based on our current operating plans, we will require approximately $4 million ($7 million in order to accelerate commercialization) to grow our sales team and order devices that will be placed in the field to produce revenue. A portion of these funds will also go towards the further development of BiofluxBioflux® in its next generation, in addition to including marketing, sales, regulatory and clinical costs to better introduce the product into the market place.marketplace. We anticipate requiring an additional $4 million to hire a larger sales force and complete the development of future technologies that will help our platform increase penetration in new and existing markets, and expand our intellectual property platform.

 

Based on the above facts and assumptions, we will need to seek additional debt or equity capital to respond to business opportunities and challenges, including our ongoing operating expenses, protecting our intellectual property, developing or acquiring new lines of business and enhancing our operating infrastructure. The terms of our future financings may be dilutive to, or otherwise adversely affect, holders of our common stock. We may also seek additional funds through arrangements with collaborators or other third parties. There can be no assurance we will be able to raise this additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to obtain additional funding on a timely basis, we may be required to modify our operating plan and otherwise curtail or slow the pace of development and commercialization of our proposed product lines.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15(e). The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance of reaching the Company’s desired disclosure control objectives. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Therefore, even a system which is determined to be effective cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues have been detected or prevented. Our systems of internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

 

At the end of the period being reported upon, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the material information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officer, as well as recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms relating to the Company.
