1.  
Corporate Information

RepliCel Life Sciences Inc. (“the Company” or “RepliCel”) was incorporated under the Ontario Business Corporations Act on April 24, 1967.  The Company’s reporting jurisdiction is British Columbia.  Its common shares are listed for trading in the United States on the OTCQB, trading under the symbol REPCF and in Canada on the CNSX, trading under the symbol RP.

RepliCel Life Sciences Inc. specializes in autologous cell therapy technologies. The company's foundation is built on its core understanding of the unique biological function of hair follicle cells. From that knowledge platform, the company has developed two separate autologous cell therapies. The first is a cellular treatment for androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness) named RepliCel Hair-01 ("RCH-01"). The second is a cell therapy treatment for chronic tendon injuries named RepliCel Tendon-01 ("RCT-01"). Both treatments are based on RepliCel's innovative technology which utilizes cells isolated from a patient's own healthy hair follicles to address specific cellular deficits associated with the targeted conditions.

The address of the Company’s corporate office and principal place of business is Suite 2020 – 401 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, V6B 5A1.
 
2.  
Basis of Presentation

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.  They do not include all disclosures that would otherwise be required in a complete set of financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2012 annual financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

The condensed interim financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with those used in the Company’s 2012 annual financial statements except for revenue (note 2(b)), new standards, interpretations and amendments mandatorily effective for the first time from January 1, 2013 and income tax expense which is recognized in each interim period based on the best estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year. Note 4(a) sets out the impact of new standards, interpretations and amendments that have had a material effect on the financial statements.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on November 20, 2013.

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with IAS 34 requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment of complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 3.

a)  
Going Concern of Operations

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its obligations and commitments in the normal course of operations.  At September 30, 2013 the Company, is in the research stage, has accumulated losses of $9,220,242 since its inception and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, has working capital of $2,865,346, and requires additional funding to continue its research and development activities, which casts substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013
(Stated in Canadian Dollars)

2.
Basis of Presentation - continued

a)  
Going Concern of Operations - continued

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.  Management has a plan in place to address this concern and intends to obtain additional funds by equity financing to the extent there is a shortfall from operations.  While the Company is continuing its best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds for operations.

If the going concern assumptions were not appropriate for these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported net loss and the financial position classifications used.

b)  
Revenue Recognition

Revenue consists of an upfront fee received under a Collaboration and Technology Development Transfer Agreement. The Company recognizes revenue when (i) the entity has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods, (ii) the entity retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods, (iii) the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, (iv) it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity, and (vi) the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Licensing revenue, in the form of non-refundable upfront payments, is recognized at the date the Company no longer maintains substantive contractual obligations.

c)  
Change in Presentation

The Company has reclassified certain expenses to conform to the presentation adopted by similar companies in the life sciences field. As such, clinical trial costs of $34,730 and $267,373 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, have been reclassified as research and development expenses. The comparative figures for clinical trial costs, $72,834 and $446,441 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, have also been reclassified as research and development expenses. There was no change to net operating loss for the change in presentation of research and development costs.
 
3.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

RepliCel Life Sciences Inc. makes estimates and assumptions about the future that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions.

The effect of a change in an accounting estimate is recognized prospectively by including it in comprehensive income in the period of the change, if the change affects that period only, or in the period of the change and future periods, if the change affects both.

Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies and sources of estimation uncertainty that have the most significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recognized in the condensed interim financial statements within the next financial year are the same as those that applied to the Company’s 2012 annual financial statements.

4.  
Accounting Standards, Amendments and Interpretations

a)  
New Standards, Amendments and Interpretations Effective for the first time from January 1, 2013

Certain pronouncements were issued by the IASB or the IFRS Interpretations Committee that are mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 or later periods. The following new standards, amendments and interpretations have been adopted in these interim financial statements.

·  
IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements

IFRS 10 builds on existing principles by identifying the concept of control as the determining factor in whether an entity should be included within the consolidated interim financial statements of the parent company. The standard provides additional guidance to assist in the determination of control where this is difficult to assess. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

·  
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement

IFRS 13 aims to improve consistency and reduce complexity by providing a precise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across IFRS. The requirements, which are largely aligned between IFRS and US GAAP, do not extend the use of fair value accounting but provide guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards within IFRS.

The adoption of IFRS 13 by the Company has had no material impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.  The fair value of the derivative liability has been determined directly by reference to published price quotations in an active market.  Prior to adoption of IFRS 13 the Company measured the derivative liability on the same basis.

·  
Amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements

The amendments to IAS 1 revise the presentation of other comprehensive income (OCI). Separate subtotals are required for items which may subsequently be recycled through profit or loss and items that will not be recycled through profit or loss.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

b)  
Standards, Amendments and Interpretations Not Yet Effective

Certain pronouncements were issued by the IASB or the IFRS Interpretations Committee that are not mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. They have not been early adopted in these interim financial statements, and are expected to affect the Company in the period of initial application.  In all cases the Company intends to apply these standards from application date as indicated below:

·  
Amendment to IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentations

The amendments to IAS 32 pertained to the application guidance on the offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities, focused on four main areas: the meaning of ‘currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off’, the application of simultaneous realization and settlement, the offsetting of collateral amounts and the unit of account for applying the offsetting requirements. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard may have on its financial statements.

Accounting Standards, Amendments and Interpretations - continued

b)  
Standards, Amendments and Interpretations Not Yet Effective - continued

·  
Amendment to IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosure

Amended standard IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosure outlines the disclosures required when initially applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.  The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015.  The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard may have on its financial statements.

·  
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments is part of the IASB's wider project to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes two primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortized cost and fair value. The basis of classification depends on the entity's business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new standard.

There are no other IFRS or IFRIC Interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the Company.

Reverse Takeover Transaction and 583885 B.C. Ltd.

On December 22, 2010, RepliCel closed a Share Exchange Agreement with TrichoScience Innovations Inc. (“TrichoScience”) whereby RepliCel (formerly Newcastle Resources Ltd.) would acquire the issued and outstanding shares of TrichoScience. During the year ended December 31, 2011, 100% of the former TrichoScience shareholders tendered their shares in exchange for RepliCel shares and TrichoScience became a 100% owned subsidiary of RepliCel. The TrichoScience shareholders who received shares of RepliCel in connection with the closing deposited the common shares with a trustee pursuant to the terms of a pooling agreement between RepliCel and the trustee.  The common shares are subject to a timed release schedule under which 15% of the shares will be released on the first day of each of the fiscal quarters occurring after the first anniversary of the closing.

Concurrent with the reverse acquisition, RepliCel also acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of 583885 B.C. Ltd. (“583885”) in exchange for 4,400,000 common shares of RepliCel.  583885 did not have any assets or liabilities at the date of acquisition and was a private company controlled by RepliCel’s incoming Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). 3,400,000 shares of RepliCel controlled by the Company’s CEO were deposited with an escrow agent pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement between RepliCel and the escrow agent.  These shares are released upon satisfaction of certain performance conditions as set out in the escrow agreement and each release of shares from escrow will be considered a compensatory award. The Compensatory award is recorded as an expense at the fair value of the consideration given based on the price of RepliCel’s common shares on the acquisition date. This amount was determined to be US$0.50 per share, based on the price of the shares being offered in the private placement that closed concurrent with the share exchange to arm’s length parties at a price of US$0.50.

During the period ended September 30, 2013 no performance conditions were met (Year ended December 31, 2012, the performance condition with respect to 500,000 shares had been achieved, and $254,350 representing the fair value of the shares released from escrow was recorded as stock-based compensation.  Compensation expense relating to the transaction date fair value of the remaining 1,700,000 common shares will be recognized in the period the respective performance condition is met and amortized over the period the performance condition is met.

Share Capital

a)  
Authorized:

Unlimited common shares without par value
Unlimited Class A non-voting, convertible, redeemable, non-cumulative 6% preferred shares without par value

b)  Issued and Outstanding:

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013:

(i)  
The Company completed private placements totalling 2,043,555 units at a price of CAD$0.31 per unit for gross proceeds of $633,502, of which $24,851 was included in share subscriptions at December 31, 2012.  A finder’s fee of $9,920 was paid in cash in connection with the private placement. Each unit issued consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase an additional common share at CAD$0.50 per share for a period of 24 months from the closing of the financing.

(ii)  
The Company completed a private placement of 1,050,000 shares at a price of CAD$0.50 per share for gross proceeds of $525,000. A finder’s fee of $36,750 was paid in cash in connection with the private placement.

During the year-ended December 31, 2012:

(i)  
The Company completed a private placement of 1,875,046 units at US$1.50 per unit for proceeds of $2,796,740 (US$2,812,569).  A finder’s fee of $35,647 (US$36,000) was paid in cash in connection with the private placement. Each unit issued consists of one common share of the Company and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase an additional common share at US$2.50 per share for a period of 24 months from the closing of the Financing.  As the share purchase warrants are denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency, the fair value of the share purchase warrants is recognized as a derivative liability.  The fair value on issuance was determined to be $1,184,650.  These warrants have been included in the share warrant data presented in Note 7g.

c)   Stock Option Plans:

(i)  
Under various Founders’ Stock Option Agreements, certain founders of TrichoScience granted stock options to acquire TrichoScience shares to employees and consultants of TrichoScience. These founders’ options are exercisable at $1 per share with 1/3 vesting one year from the date of grant and the remaining 2/3 vesting on a monthly basis over between 24-month and 36-month periods expiring after six to seven years.  Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Founders Stock Option Agreements were converted into rights to receive the number of Founders’ RepliCel shares acquired by conversion of the founders TrichoScience shares under the Share Exchange Agreement.  All other terms remained the same.  This modification of stock options resulted in no incremental value and therefore no additional stock based compensation expense was recognized for the modification.

(ii)  
On December 22, 2010, the Company approved a Company Stock Option Plan whereby the Company may grant directors, officers, employees and consultants’ stock options.  The maximum number of shares reserved for issue under the plan cannot exceed 10% of the outstanding common shares of the Company as at the date of the grant.  The stock options can be exercisable for a maximum of 7 years from the grant date and with various vesting terms.

d)  Fair value of Company Options Issued from January 1, 2012 to September 30, 2013 - continued

Options Issued to Employees

The fair value at grant date is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield, the expected forfeiture rate and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option.

Options Issued to Non-Employees

Options issued to non-employees, are measured based on the fair value of the goods or services received, at the date of receiving those goods or services. If the fair value of the goods or services received cannot be estimated reliably, the options are measured by determining the fair value of the options granted, using a valuation model.
 
            e) Stock-based Compensation

The Company recognized a fair value of $70,638 and $448,442, as stock based compensation expense in the statement of comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, for stock options granted under the Company Stock Option Plan and the Founders Stock Option Agreements; (Three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 - $262,039 and $727,095).

11.   Financial Instruments and Risk Management

As at September 30, 2013, the Company’s financial instruments are comprised of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and warrants denominated in a foreign currency. The fair values of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying value due to their short-term maturity.

The Company is exposed through its operations to the following financial risks:

· Currency risk
· Credit risk
· Liquidity risk
· Interest rate risk

In common with all other businesses, the Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments.  This note describes the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them.  Further quantitative information in respect of these risks is presented throughout these financial statements.

There have been no substantive changes in the Company’s exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them from previous periods unless otherwise stated in this note.

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company has an exposure to the European Euros as certain expenditures and commitments are denominated in European Euros and the Company is subject to fluctuations as a result of exchange rate variations to the extent that transactions are made in this currency. In addition, the Company holds a significant amount of cash in US dollars and is therefore exposed to exchange rate fluctuations on these cash balances. The Company does not hedge its foreign exchange risk.  At September 30, 2013 the Company held US dollar cash balances of $129,452 (US$133,374) (December 31, 2012: $371,930 or US$373,836). A 1% increase/decrease in the US dollars foreign exchange rate would have an impact of ±$1,295 (US$1,334) on the cash balance held at September 30, 2013.

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.  The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its cash.  The Company limits exposure to credit risk by maintaining its cash with large financial institutions.  The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying value of its financial assets.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure, more specifically, the issuance of new common shares, to ensure there is sufficient capital in order to meet short term business requirements,  after  taking  into  account  the  Company’s  holdings  of  cash  and potential equity financing opportunities. The Company believes that these sources will be sufficient to cover the known short and long-term requirements at this time. There is no assurance that potential equity financing opportunities will be available to meet these obligations.

13.   Capital Management

The Company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue business opportunities. In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company prepares periodic budgets that are updated as necessary.  The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it to effectively support the Company’s objectives. In order to pay for general administrative costs, the Company will use its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed.  The Company will continue to advance its technology.

Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.  The Company considers shareholders equity and working capital as components of its capital base.  The Company can access or increase capital through the issuance of shares, and by sustaining cash reserves by reducing its capital and operational expenditure program.  Management primarily funds the Company’s expenditures by issuing share capital, rather than using capital sources that require fixed repayments of principal and/or interest. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements and does not have exposure to asset-backed commercial paper or similar products, with the exception of pooling and escrow shares which are subject to restrictions. The Company believes it will be able to raise additional equity capital as required, but recognizes the uncertainty attached thereto.

The Company’s investment policy is to hold cash in interest bearing bank accounts, which pay comparable interest rates to highly liquid short-term interest bearing investments with maturities of one year or less and which can be liquidated at any time  without  penalties.

There has been no change in the Company’s approach to capital management during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

14.   Segmental Reporting

The Company is organized into one business unit based on its hair cell replication technology and has one reportable operating segment.

OVERALL PERFORMANCE
 
The Company was incorporated under the Ontario Business Corporations Act on April 24, 1967.  We are a reporting issuer under the securities laws of the Provinces of British Columbia and Ontario. We are a foreign private issuer in the United States.  Our common shares are listed for trading in the United States on the OTCQB, trading under the symbol REPCF and on the Canadian National Stock Exchange (“CNSX”), trading under the symbol RP.
 
RepliCel Life Sciences Inc. is in the business of developing autologous cell therapy for certain diseases affected by cellular deficits.  The diseases being addressed are tendinosis and pattern baldness.  Each disease state is consistent with a deficit of a specific cell type which we believe is critical to normal function.  These technologies carry issued and filed patent applications.  Our treatment for chronic tendinosis (“RCT-01”) has the potential to be the first autologous cell treatment to heal injured tendons that have reached a chronic stage of deterioration.  Our technology for pattern baldness (“RCH-01”) has the potential to become the world’s first autologous cellular treatment for hair loss in men and women.  The company has also developed an injector device (“RCI-01 and RCI-02”) to be used in conjunction with its therapies.  Additionally, this device should find applications in the field of cosmetic dermal injections.
 
RCT-01 has been developed over five years of research, experimentation and trials.  The mechanics of our treatment involve the extraction of as few as 20 hair follicles from the back of patient’s scalp.  Specific cells called non-bulbar dermal sheath (“NBDS”) cells are isolated from the hair follicles, replicated in a current Good Manufacturing Practice (“cGMP”) compliant facility and are then reintroduced under ultrasound guidance into the area of damaged tendon.  The injected cells are expected to initiate and complete the healing of the chronically injured tendon.
 
RCH-01 has been developed over ten years of research, experimentation and trials. The mechanics of our technology involve the extraction of as few as 20 hair follicles from the back of a patient’s scalp where healthy cycling hair follicles reside.  Specific cells called dermal sheath cup (“DSC”) cells are isolated from the hair follicles and are then replicated in a cGMP compliant facility through our proprietary cellular replication process and then reintroduced back into balding areas on a patient’s scalp. This cellular replication and implantation technology is designed to induce hair growth through either rejuvenation of damaged hair follicles or the formation of new hair follicles, or both.  Our anticipated long-term result is the restoration and maintenance of a patient’s hair.

RCT-01 Treatment for Tendinosis
 
Phase 1: Clinical Studies
 
The product development path of RCT-01 effectively began in 2008 when Dr. David Connell began focusing on fibroblast cells isolated from adipose tissue.  Dr. Connell hypothesized that the main underlying reason for chronic tendinosis was a deficit of tenocytes (fibroblasts) in the tendon.  As these fibroblasts are responsible for producing type 1 collagen, the primary cell type in human tendon, it was theorized that isolation and replication of a source of fibroblasts for injection into the injury site could initiate normalized healing.  Dr. Connell conducted three phase 1 clinical trials using this approach producing evidence that treatment of tendinosis with autologous expanded fibroblasts was both safe and effective and should be explored in larger human trials.  Dr. Connell filed patents covering the use of adipose derived fibroblasts for the treatment of tendinosis.  In 2011, RepliCel began collaborating with Dr. Connell on the development of this technology.  RepliCel expanded on Dr. Connell’s approach by isolating fibroblasts from the hair follicle.  This was based on the knowledge that fibroblasts from the NBDS of a hair follicle can produce upwards of five times the amount of type 1 collagen than fibroblasts from adipose tissue as pursued by Dr. Connell. RepliCel has filed a PCT patent application and in 2013 Dr. Connell’s patents were also licensed by RepliCel.
 
Dr. Connell has conducted three phase 1 human clinical trials focusing on each of Achilles, patellar and lateral elbow tendinosis (tennis elbow) using adipose tissue derived fibroblasts. A total of 104 tendons were treated using autologous fibroblast cells and there were no adverse events related to the cell therapy.  RepliCel intends to initiate phase 2 trials, in all three indications, beginning with Achilles tendinosis using RCT-01.
 
The pain and dysfunction associated with tendinosis is currently controlled by many treatment modalities including the use of analgesic and anti-inflammatory medications, rest, physical therapy, orthotics, ergonomic adjustments, laser therapy, prolotherapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections and surgery.  However, there is currently no therapy to treat the underlying, causative nature of the disease. We believe the reason that chronic tendinosis is not successfully treated is a deficit of healthy fibroblasts to provide the necessary production of type 1 collagen for the repair of the open interstitial tears in the tendon.  Our treatment is designed to address that cellular deficit in the healing process.
 
Phase 2: Proposed Clinical Trial
 
RCT-01 is a derivative treatment based on the previous three phase 1 clinical trials using autologous fibroblast cells isolated from adipose biopsies.  In RepliCel’s proposed phase 2 trial, the source of fibroblasts will be NBDS cells (fibroblasts) isolated from the patient’s own hair follicles.  The trial will enroll patients that have failed traditional physiotherapy and are otherwise in good health.  A small 6 mm punch biopsy will be taken from the back of the scalp and transported to a cGMP facility.  NBDS cells will be isolated and replicated in sufficient number and frozen for shipment back to the clinic for ultrasound-guided injection into the damaged tendon.  In addition to safety, patients will be measured for function and pain as well as changes in tendon thickness, echotexture, interstitial tears and neovascularity.
 
RepliCel is currently finalizing its standard operating procedures (SOPs,) for the manufacturing of cells for its phase 2 clinical trial for the treatment of chronic Achilles tendinosis which the company plans to conduct in Canada. The preliminary clinical trial design has been completed, and negotiations are underway for the contract manufacturing of the cells required for the study. Upon the finalization of the manufacturing SOPs, the company will initiate its pre-clinical trial application meeting with Health Canada to discuss the trial design and manufacturing protocols and make any necessary changes before filing the final Clinical Trial Application planned for the first half of 2014.


 
24

 
The current design encompasses 82 patients and is a two armed double blinded placebo controlled trial. Forty-two (42) patients will be randomized into two groups; one group being the treatment arm and the other group being the placebo arm.  The primary outcome will be efficacy at 26 weeks.  Primary efficacy will be measured using the Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment (VISA) questionnaire and an 11-point (0-10) numerical rating scales (NRS) for global indication of change and worst Achilles tendon pain.  Secondary outcomes will include ultrasound appearance (semi-quantitative scoring of neovascularisation, heterogeneity/hypoechogenicity and a continuous measure of tear size), tendon biomechanics (measured through a custom post-processing technique of ultrasound cine-images), and a short form 36 question quality of life questionnaire.  Outcome measures will be assessed at baseline and 6, 12, 26 and 52 weeks following the initiation of treatment.
 
RCH-01 Treatment for Pattern Baldness

The process of obtaining marketing authorization for the RepliCel™ procedure requires the collection of a thorough body of information that satisfies requirements set forth by regulators that oversee the safety and efficacy of products sold to the public.  Each jurisdiction has specific regulatory requirements, many of which differ from region to region. We are developing a clinical and regulatory strategy that will ensure adherence to regulations that will advance the marketing approval of our technology worldwide. As part of this strategy, plans for the following projects are in development:
 
1.  
Initiation of Phase 2 human clinical trial in Europe;
2.  
Ongoing research and pre-clinical development to enhance knowledge base of our technology;

Phase 2: Proposed Dosing Clinical Trial
 
RepliCel’s proposed Phase 2 trial is designed to be a dose-finding study which will assess the number of characterized cells and the appropriate treatment regimen to provide optimal hair growth.  Subject to regulatory approval, our proposed clinical trial will include multiple subject cohorts studying different doses of DSC cells.  Each subject will be given several different injections, while some cohorts will receive additional injections at subsequent time points.
 
A total of 160 patients will be recruited.  Each treated patient will have 4 treatment areas. One hundred and thirty-two patients (132) will be randomized into two groups of 66 participants.  There will be three different doses of cells being administered in a randomized fashion to each treatment group. One treatment group will receive 3 different doses and a needling in 4 distinct randomized locations on Day 1 of treatment.  The second treatment group will receive 3 different doses and a needling in 4 distinct randomized locations on Day 1 and a second treatment on Day 91.  There will be a total of 28 placebo participants in 2 groups.  One group will receive 3 randomized placebo injections and one needling.  The other group will receive 3 randomized placebo injections and one needling on Day 1 and Day 91.
 
Primary objective is efficacy at 12 months post last injection (15 months as there as one group gets an injection at month 3) as measured by digitized imaging count of total, terminal and vellus hair density (n/cm2) and cumulative hair thickness per area (mm/cm2).  Included in this measurement is the measurement of efficacy related to dose.
 
RCI-02 Injector Device
 
RepliCel has designed and is developing a new cell injector device to be used in conjunction with the RCH-01 treatment. The company believes that the device will also have applications in certain other dermatological procedures requiring injections of specific volumes of material at specific depths. In addition to the programmable variables of volume and depth, the device will have interchangeable heads for different injection procedures (single and multi-needle) as well as a built-in cooling capability to remove the requirement for an anesthetic during an injection process. Development is expected to be completed in the second half of 2014.


 
25

 
Intellectual Property
 
The success of RepliCel will be highly dependent on the protection of our intellectual property. We are developing a diverse portfolio of intellectual property for the use of stem cells in the treatment of hair loss as well as other medical conditions, and medical devices for the application of such cells.  For example, RepliCel inventors filed an early patent application on the use of hair follicle derived stem cells entitled “Method for isolating hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells”.  This family of patents describes methods for isolating stem cells from hair follicles, and the growth and use of these stem cells for the treatment of a variety of medical conditions (including hair loss).  Within this portfolio, there are granted patents in Australia Europe and the United States), which were issued unopposed.  Additional related patent applications are also pending in the United States, Canada and Japan.  RepliCel has also filed patent applications relating to devices for the delivery of therapeutically useful cells, as well as to compositions and methods for repairing tendons.  With respect to tendon repair in particular, RepliCel has developed and filed patent applications relating to compositions and methods suitable for the treatment and repair of tendons utilizing dermal sheath cells.  RepliCel has also licensed a family of patents relating the compositions and uses of dermally derived cells in the treatment of tendons and ligaments.

Reverse Takeover Transactin and 583885 B.C. Ltd.
 
On December 22, 2010, RepliCel closed a Share Exchange Agreement with TrichoScience Innovations Inc. (“TrichoScience”) whereby RepliCel (formerly Newcastle Resources Ltd.) would acquire the issued and outstanding shares of TrichoScience. During the year ended December 31, 2011, 100% of the former TrichoScience shareholders tendered their shares in exchange for RepliCel shares and TrichoScience became a 100% owned subsidiary of RepliCel. The TrichoScience shareholders who received shares of RepliCel in connection with the closing deposited the common shares with a trustee pursuant to the terms of a pooling agreement between RepliCel and the trustee.  The common shares are subject to a timed release schedule under which 15% of the shares will be released on the first day of each of the fiscal quarters occurring after the first anniversary of the closing.


 
26

 

Concurrent with the reverse acquisition, RepliCel also acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of 583885 B.C. Ltd. (“583885”) in exchange for 4,400,000 common shares of RepliCel.  583885 did not have any assets or liabilities at the date of acquisition and was a private company controlled by RepliCel’s incoming Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). 3,400,000 shares of RepliCel controlled by the Company’s CEO were deposited with an escrow agent pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement between RepliCel and the escrow agent.  These shares are released upon satisfaction of certain performance conditions as set out in the escrow agreement and each release of shares from escrow will be considered a compensatory award. The Compensatory award is recorded as an expense at the fair value of the consideration given based on the price of RepliCel’s common shares on the acquisition date. This amount was determined to be US$0.50 per share, based on the price of the shares being offered in the private placement that closed concurrent with the share exchange to arm’s length parties at a price of US$0.50.

During the period ended September 30, 2013 no performance conditions were met (Year ended December 31, 2012, the performance condition with respect to 500,000 shares had been achieved, and $254,350 representing the fair value of the shares released from escrow was recorded as stock-based compensation.)  Compensation expense relating to the transaction date fair value of the remaining 1,700,000 common shares will be recognized in the period the respective performance condition is probable and amortized over the period the performance condition is met.

At September 30, 2013, there were 1,700,000 common shares held in escrow (December 31, 2012: 1,700,000 common shares). The other 1,000,000 common shares issued were not subject to escrow provisions and thus were fully vested, non-forfeitable at the date of issuance. Stock based compensation of $nil (representing the fair value of the shares issued) was recognized for these shares during the period ended September 30, 2013 (September 30, 2012: $254,350).

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company completed a Collaboration and Technology Development Transfer Agreement with Shiseido Company, Limited (“Shiseido”). Shiseido paid RepliCel an upfront fee of $4,120,400 (¥400,000,000). The Company recorded gross revenue from its licensing agreement with Shiseido in the amount of $4,120,000, less withholding taxes of $412,040; we received $3,707,960 during the third quarter. There was no revenue from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2012.
 
Research and development (R&D) expense for the third quarter of 2013 was $301,996 compared to $182,073 in the prior year period. The increase was the result of advancing the pre-clinical work for RCT-01, development of the RCI-02 injector device prototype, improvements in the cell replication process for RCH-01 in preparation for our submission to regulatory authorities and incremental expenditure on IP. Included in R&D, are clinical trial costs of $34,730 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $72,834 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Clinical trial costs have declined as the Company nears the completion and monitoring phase of the Phase 1 trial for RCH-01.

General and administrative (G&A) expenses totaled $585,021 for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $644,534 for the third quarter of 2012. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decline in marketing and investor relations activities (2013: $47,395, 2012: $55,278), and a reduction in stock based compensation (2013: $70,638, 2012: $262,039), which resulted from the forfeiture of options held by certain employees and consultants during the quarter.
 
We incurred net income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 of $2,613,456 or $0.06 per share on a basic and diluted basis compared to a net loss of $36,393 or $0.00 per share on a basic and diluted basis for the three months ended September 30, 2012.

The Company recorded gross revenue from its licensing agreement with Shiseido in the amount of $4,120,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, less withholding taxes of $412,040; we received $3,707,960 during the third quarter as described above. There was no revenue from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Research and development (R&D) expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 R&D expense was $805,637 compared to $752,067 in the prior year period. The increase was the result of advancing the pre-clinical work for RCT-01, development of the RCI-02 injector device prototype, improvements in the cell replication process for RCH-01 in preparation for our submission to regulatory authorities and incremental expenditure on IP. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we incurred costs of $267,373 relating to our clinical trials compared to $446,441 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  Clinical trial costs have declined as the Company nears the completion and monitoring phase of the Phase I clinical trial.

General and administrative expenses totaled $1,788,507 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $2,791,555 for the three months ended September 30, 2012.  The decrease is primarily attributable to a decline in marketing and investor relations activities (2013: $114,966, 2012: $564,450), and a reduction in stock based compensation (2013: $448,442, 2012: $1,202,995) which resulted from the forfeiture of options held by certain employees and consultants during the quarter. Consulting (2013: $105,250, 2012: $83,469), legal (2013: $130,362, 2012: $84,469), office (2013: $163,765, 2012: $118,307), and salaries (2013: $567,806, 2012: $508,903) all increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, and offset the overall decrease in general and administrative expenses. The increase in consulting and salaries is due to the hiring of personnel with experience and backgrounds in R&D. The increase in legal fees relates to negotiations associated with the Shiseido licensing agreement, while the increase in office expenses is due to the lease signed October 2012 for new premises and associated operating costs.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 we amended the exercise price of the warrants denominated in a foreign currency from $2.50 to $0.50 per share, resulting in an increase to the fair value of the derivative liability of $245,168 (2012: gain $896,798).

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 the Company received an assessment as a result of Canada Revenue Agency’s audit of the Scientific Research & Experimental Development claim filed by TrichoScience for the period ending December 21, 2010. As a result of the assessment, TrichoScience received a refundable investment tax credit in the amount of $150,783 (2012: $nil).
 
Total comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $1,013,154 or $0.02 per share on a basic and diluted basis compared to a net loss of $2,655,554 or $0.06 per share on a basic and diluted basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its obligations and commitments in the normal course of operations. At September 30, 2013, the Company had not yet earned revenue from its business, had accumulated losses of $9,220,242 since incorporation and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, which casts substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  At September 30, 2013, we had working capital of $2,865,346.  Additional working capital will be required for general and administrative expenses and to further our business plans. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that the Company cannot continue as a going concern.


 
29

 
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.  The Company has financed its operations to date through the issuance of equity.  The continued volatility in the financial equity markets may make it difficult to raise funds by private placements of shares.  There is no assurance that the Company will be successful with its financing ventures.

Operating Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we had $1,691,026 provided in net cash from operating activities compared to a use of cash of $2,360,950 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  The increase in cash provided by operating activities was a result of the Shiseido licensing deal entered into in the third quarter of 2013.

Investing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the net cash used in investing activities was $nil compared to net cash used in investing activities of $6,112 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Financing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we issued 1,050,000 Common Shares at a price of $0.50 per share for gross proceeds of $525,000 and 2,043,555 Common Shares issued at a price of $0.31 per unit for gross proceeds of $633,502, of which $24,851 was included in share subscriptions at December 31, 2012. Finder’s fees of $46,670 were paid in connection with the transaction. Each unit issued consists of one common share of the Company and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase an additional common share at $0.50 per share for a period of 24 months from the closing of the Financing.  Additional working capital will be required for general and administrative expenses and to further our business plans.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

RepliCel Life Sciences Inc. makes estimates and assumptions about the future that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions.


 
33

 

The effect of a change in an accounting estimate is recognized prospectively by including it in comprehensive income in the period of the change, if the change affects that period only, or in the period of the change and future periods, if the change affects both.

Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant risk of causing material adjustment to the amounts reported in these financial statements are discussed below:

Share Based Payments

The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted.  Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them.  The assumptions and models used for estimating the fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 7(d).

Similar methodology to the share-based payments is used to determine the fair value of derivative liabilities related to warrants denominated in U.S. dollars.  The assumptions and models used for estimating the fair value for derivative liabilities are disclosed in Note 7(g).

Income Taxes

Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain.  The Company recognizes liabilities and contingencies for anticipated tax audit issues based on the Company’s current understanding of the tax law.  For matters where it is probable that an adjustment will be made, the Company records its best estimate of the tax liability including the related interest and penalties in the current tax provision. Management believes they have adequately provided for the probable outcome of these matters; however, the final outcome may result in a materially different outcome than the amount included in the tax liabilities.

In addition, the Company will recognize deferred tax assets relating to tax losses carried forward to the extent there are sufficient taxable temporary differences relating to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity against which the unused tax losses can be utilized.  However, utilization of the tax losses also depends on the ability of the taxable entity to satisfy certain tests at the time the losses are recouped.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The Company’s significant accounting policies can be found in Note 4 of the annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.
 
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS, AMENDMENTS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT YET EFFECTIVE

Certain pronouncements were issued by the IASB or the IFRS Interpretations Committee that are mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 or later periods. The following new standards, amendments and interpretations have been adopted in these interim financial statements.


 
34

 

·  
IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements

IFRS 10 builds on existing principles by identifying the concept of control as the determining factor in whether an entity should be included within the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the parent company. The standard provides additional guidance to assist in the determination of control where this is difficult to assess. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

·  
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement

IFRS 13 aims to improve consistency and reduce complexity by providing a precise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across IFRS. The requirements, which are largely aligned between IFRS and US GAAP, do not extend the use of fair value accounting but provide guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards within IFRS.

The adoption of IFRS 13 by the Company has had no material impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.  The fair value of the derivative liability has been determined directly by reference to published price quotations in an active market.  Prior to adoption of IFRS 13 the Company measured the derivative liability on the same basis.

·  
Amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements

The amendments to IAS 1 revise the presentation of other comprehensive income (OCI). Separate subtotals are required for items which may subsequently be recycled through profit or loss and items that will not be recycled through profit or loss.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Standards, Amendments and Interpretations Not Yet Effective

Certain pronouncements were issued by the IASB or the IFRS Interpretations Committee that are not mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 or later periods. They have not been early adopted in these interim financial statements, are they are expected to affect the Company in the period of initial application.  In all cases the Company intends to apply these standards from application date as indicated below:

·  
Amendment to IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentations

The amendments to IAS 32 pertained to the application guidance on the offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities, focused on four main areas: the meaning of ‘currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off’, the application of simultaneous realization and settlement, the offsetting of collateral amounts and the unit of account for applying the offsetting requirements. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that the adoptions of this standard may have on its financial statements.

·  
Amendment to IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosure

Amended standard IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures outlines the disclosures required when initially applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.  The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015.  The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that the adoptions of this standard may have on its financial statements.


 
35

 

·  
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments is part of the IASB's wider project to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes two primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortized cost and fair value. The basis of classification depends on the entity's business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new standard.

There are no other IFRS or IFRIC Interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the Company.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS

As at September 30, 2013, the Company’s financial instruments are comprised of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and warrants denominated in a foreign currency. The fair values of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying value due to their short-term maturity.  The Company is exposed through its operations to currency, credit, liquidity and interest rate risk.
 
In common with all other businesses, the Company is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments.  This note describes the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them.  Further quantitative information in respect of these risks is presented throughout these financial statements.

There have been no substantive changes in the Company’s exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them from previous periods unless otherwise stated in this note.

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company has an exposure to the European Euros as certain expenditures and commitments are denominated in European Euros and the Company is subject to fluctuations as a result of exchange rate variations to the extent that transactions are made in this currency. In addition, the Company holds a significant amount of cash in US dollars and is therefore exposed to exchange rate fluctuations on these cash balances. The Company does not hedge its foreign exchange risk.  At September 30, 2013 the Company held US dollar cash balances of $129,452 (US$133,374) (December 31, 2012: $371,930 or US$373,836). A 1% increase/decrease in the US dollars foreign exchange rate would have an impact of ±$1,295 (US$1,334) on the cash balance held at September 30, 2013.

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.  The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its cash.  The Company limits exposure to credit risk by maintaining its cash with large financial institutions.  The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying value of its financial assets.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure, more specifically, the issuance of new common shares, to ensure there is sufficient capital in order to meet short term business requirements,  after  taking  into  account  the  Company’s  holdings  of  cash  and potential equity financing opportunities. The Company believes that these sources will be sufficient to cover the known short and long-term requirements at this time. There is no assurance that potential equity financing opportunities will be available to meet these obligations.

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. As the Company’s cash is currently held in an interest bearing bank account, management considers the interest rate risk to be limited.
 
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
 
Risks Relating to our Business
In addition to the other risks and uncertainties set out earlier in this MD&A, the Company is also exposed to the following risks and uncertainties:
 
Our company currently does not generate revenue from its planned operations, and as a result, it faces a high risk of business failure.
 
We have not generated any revenues from our planned operations to date. As of September 30, 2013, we had accumulated $9,220,242 in losses since inception. Our business is focused on the development of a new hair cell replication technology. In order to generate revenues, we will incur substantial expenses in the development of our business.  We therefore expect to incur significant losses in the foreseeable future. Our company recognizes that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from our activities, our entire business may fail. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will be successful in our plan of operation, and we can provide no assurance to investors that we will generate operating revenues or achieve profitable operations in the future.
 
Our auditors’ opinion on our December 31, 2012 financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph in respect of there being substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
We have incurred a net loss of $9,220,242 for the cumulative period from September 7, 2006 (inception) to September 30, 2013. We anticipate generating losses for at least the next 12 months. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue operations in the future as a going concern, as described by our auditors with respect to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that we cannot continue in existence. Our business operations may fail if our actual cash requirements exceed our estimates and we are not able to obtain further financing. If we cannot continue as a viable entity, our shareholders may lose some or all of their investment in our company.
 
Our business is at an early stage of development and difficulties obtaining regulatory approval, technical deficiencies and other challenges may hinder the development and marketing of our hair cell replication technology.
 
Our hair cell replication technology is at an early stage of development and we may not develop hair cell replication technology that can be commercialized. We are still in the early stages of identifying and conducting research on our technology. Our technology will require significant research and development and preclinical and clinical testing prior to regulatory approval, if required, being obtained in the United States or other countries. We may not be able to obtain regulatory approvals, if required, to complete necessary clinical trials for our hair cell replication technology, or to commercialize it.  Our technology may prove to have undesirable and unintended side effects, or other characteristics adversely affecting its safety, efficacy or cost-effectiveness could prevent or limit its use. Our technology may fail to provide its intended benefit, or achieve benefits equal to or better than our competitor’s products at the time of testing or production and, if so, our business may fail.

Our clinical trials may fail to produce successful results or could be suspended due to unacceptable safety risks, which could cause our business to fail.
 
Clinical trials are subject to extensive regulatory requirements, and are very expensive, time-consuming and difficult to design and implement, in part because they may be subject to rigorous regulatory requirements. Our products may fail to achieve necessary safety and efficacy endpoints during clinical trials. We believe that our clinical trials will take a substantial period of time to complete. Furthermore, failure can occur at any stage of the trials, and we could encounter problems that cause us to abandon or repeat clinical trials. The commencement and completion of clinical trials may be delayed by several factors, including: unforeseen safety issues; lack of effectiveness during clinical trials; slower than expected rates of patient recruitment; and inability to monitor patients adequately during or after treatment. In addition, we or regulatory officials may suspend our clinical trials at any time if it appears that we are exposing participants to unacceptable health risks. If our clinical trials fail to produce successful results, or are suspended due to unacceptable safety risks, our business may fail.
 
Our success depends on the acceptance of our hair cell replication technology by the medical community and consumers as a safe and effective solution.
 
The success of our hair cell replication technology will depend on its acceptance by potential consumers and the medical community. Because our technology is new in the treatment of pattern baldness, the long term effects of using our new hair cell replication technology are unknown. The results of short-term clinical trials do not necessarily predict long-term clinical benefit or reveal adverse effects. If results obtained from future commercial experience indicate that our hair cell replication technology is not as safe or effective as other hair restoration treatments, adoption of this technology by consumers and the medical community may suffer and our business will be harmed.
 
If we are not able to effectively protect our existing intellectual property, our business may suffer a material negative impact and may fail.
 
The success of our company will be dependent on our ability to protect and develop our technology.  We currently have registered patents for our hair cell replication technology in Australia and the European Union.  If we are unable to protect our intellectual property, our business may be materially adversely affected. Further, we cannot be sure that our activities do not and will not infringe on the intellectual property rights of others. If we are compelled to prosecute infringing parties, defend our intellectual property or defend ourselves from intellectual property claims made by others, we may face significant expense and liability, as well as the diversion of management’s attention from our business, any of which could negatively impact our business or financial condition.
 
The successful acquisition and maintenance of patent rights is critical to our business and any failure in this regard could hinder the development and marketing of our technology.
 
We currently have patent applications pending in the United States and several other countries around the world.  Our pending patent applications may not result in the issuance of any patents. The applications may not be sufficient to meet the statutory requirements for patentability in all cases or may be the subject of interference proceedings by patent offices. These proceedings determine the priority of inventions and, thus, the right to a patent for technology.  In the past, our patent applications have experienced delays and our patent applications may be delayed in the future. If others file patent applications or obtain patents similar to those we have licensed, such patents may restrict the use of our discoveries. The risk of third parties obtaining patents and filing patent applications will continue to increase as the hair restoration market expands. We cannot predict the ultimate scope and validity of existing patents and patents that may be granted to third parties, nor can we predict the extent to which we may wish or be required to obtain licenses to use such patents, or the availability and cost of acquiring such licenses. To the extent that licenses are required, the owners of the patents could bring legal actions against us to claim damages or to stop our manufacturing and marketing of the affected technology. If we become involved in patent litigation, it could consume a substantial portion of our resources.

Competitors in the hair restoration and related fields may currently offer, or may develop, superior hair loss solutions which could limit the market for our technology.
 
The market for hair restoration products and technology is competitive. We expect that some of our most significant competitors will be more established companies. These companies may have greater capital resources or experience in research and development, manufacturing, testing, obtaining regulatory approvals or marketing capabilities.  As a result, our competitors may develop more competitive or affordable products, or achieve earlier patent protection or product commercialization than we are able to achieve. We face competition from companies offering traditional more established products and technologies.
 
Our company may be subject to changes and uncertainties in laws and government regulations.
 
Our company is subject to regulation by domestic and foreign governmental agencies with respect to many aspects of developing hair cell replication technology. In addition, relevant new legislation or regulation could occur. Any such new legislation or regulation, the application of laws and regulations from jurisdictions whose laws do not currently apply to our company’s business, or the application of existing laws and regulations to hair cell replication technology, could have a material adverse effect on our company’s business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Risks Relating to our Management
 
We are dependent on the services of certain key consultants and the loss of any of these key consultants may have a materially adverse effect on our company.
 
While engaged in the business of developing a new hair cell replication technology, our company’s ability to continue to develop a competitive edge in the marketplace will depend, in large part, on our ability to attract and maintain qualified key management personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and we may not be able to attract and retain such personnel.  Our company’s growth has depended, and in the future will continue to depend, on the efforts of our key management consultants. Loss of any of these people would have a material adverse effect on our company. Currently, our company does not have key-man life insurance.
 
Conflicts of interest may arise as a result of our company’s directors and officers being directors or officers of other life sciences companies.
 
Certain of our company’s directors and officers are, or may become, directors or officers of other life sciences companies.  While we are engaged in the business of developing a new hair cell replication technology, such associations may give rise to conflicts of interest from time to time. Our company’s directors are required by law to act honestly and in good faith with a view to our company’s best interests and to disclose any interest that they may have in any project or opportunity of our company. If a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of our company’s board of directors, any director in a conflict must disclose his interest and abstain from voting on such matter. In determining whether or not our company will participate in any project or opportunity, our company’s directors will primarily consider the degree of risk to which our company may be exposed and our financial position at the time.

Our company’s by-laws contain provisions indemnifying our officers and directors against all costs, charges and expenses incurred by them.
 
Our company’s by-laws contain provisions limiting the liability of our officers and directors for all acts, receipts, neglects or defaults of themselves and all of our other officers or directors or for any loss, damage or expense incurred by our company which may happen in the execution of the duties of such officers or directors. Such limitations on liability may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our company’s officers and directors and may discourage or deter our shareholders from suing our company’s officers and directors based upon breaches of their duties to our company, though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit our company and our shareholders.
 
As a majority of our directors and officers are residents of countries other than the United States, investors may find it difficult to enforce, within the United States, any judgments obtained against our company, directors and officers.
 
We are a British Columbia, Canada company.  A majority of our directors and officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of such persons' assets are located outside the United States. Consequently, it may be difficult for United States investors to effect service of process in the United States upon those directors or officers who are not residents of the United States, or to realize in the United States upon judgments of United States courts predicated upon civil liabilities under United States legislation. There is substantial doubt whether an original action based solely upon such civil liabilities could be brought successfully in Canada against any of such persons or our company.
