INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Shareholders of Prometic Life Sciences Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Prometic Life Sciences Inc. (the “Corporation”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s responsibility for the consolidated financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Prometic Life Sciences Inc. as at December 31, 2017 and 2016, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

The Corporation consolidates investees when, based on the evaluation of the substance of the relationship with the Corporation, it concludes that it controls the investees. The Corporation controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent corporation, using consistent accounting policies. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation.

When a subsidiary is not wholly-owned the Corporation recognizes the non-controlling interests’ share of the net assets and results of operations in the subsidiary. When the proportion of the equity held by non-controlling interests’ changes without resulting in a change of control, the carrying amount of the controlling and non-controlling interest are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. In these situations, the Corporation recognizes directly in equity the effect of the change in ownership of a subsidiary on the non-controlling interests. Similarly, after picking up its share of the operating losses, the non-controlling interest is adjusted for its share of the equity contribution made by Prometic that does not modify the interest held by either party. The offset to this adjustment is recorded in the deficit. The effect of these transactions are presented in the statement of changes in equity.

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value. They are subsequently measured in accordance to their classification as described below:

 

i)

Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss

Cash, marketable securities and restricted cash are respectively classified as fair value through profit and loss. They are measured at fair value and changes in fair value are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Directly related transaction costs are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

ii)

Loans and receivables

Cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade receivables, other receivables and long-term receivables are classified as loans and receivables. They are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

 

iii)

Available-for-sale financial assets

Investments in common or preferred shares of private corporations are classified as available-for-sale and are measured at cost since their fair value cannot be measured reliably.

 

iv)

Financial liabilities

Trade payable, wages and severances payable, other employee benefit liabilities, settlement fee payable, royalty payment obligation, other long-term liabilities, advance on revenues from a supply agreement and long-term debt are classified as other financial liabilities. They are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Credit facility fees are recorded in deferred financing cost and are amortized into finance cost over the term of the credit facility.

Impairment of investments

When there has been a significant or prolonged decline in the value of an investment, the investment is written down to recognize the loss.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise deposits in banks and highly liquid investments having an original maturity of 90 days or less when issued.

 

f)

Inventories

Inventories of raw materials, work in progress and finished goods are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined on a first in, first out basis. The cost of manufactured inventories comprises all costs that are directly attributable to the manufacturing process, such as raw materials, direct labour and manufacturing overhead based on normal operating capacity. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated selling costs except for raw materials for which it is determined using replacement cost.

g)

Capital assets

Capital assets are recorded at cost less any government assistance, accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as described below.

 

Capital asset

  

Period

Buildings and improvements

   20 years

Leasehold improvements

   The lower of the lease term and the useful life

Production and laboratory equipment

   5 - 20 years

Furniture

   5 - 10 years

Computer equipment

   3 - 5 years

Assets held under financing leases

   The lower of the lease term and the useful life

The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed annually with the effect of any changes in estimates accounted for on a prospective basis. The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of a capital asset is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and its carrying amount and is recognized in profit or loss.

 

h)

Government assistance

Government assistance programs, including investment tax credits on research and development expenses, are reflected as reductions to the cost of the assets or to the expenses to which they relate and are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the assistance will be received and all attached conditions are complied with.

i)

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets include acquired rights such as licenses for product manufacturing and commercialization, donor lists, external patent costs and software costs. They are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization commences when the intangible asset is available for use and is calculated over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets acquired using the straight-line method. The maximum period used for each category of intangible asset are presented in the table below. The estimated useful lives and amortization method are reviewed annually, with the effect of any changes in estimates being accounted for on a prospective basis. The amortization expense is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible assets.

j)

Impairment of tangible and intangible assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Corporation reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If impairment indicators exist, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. For intangible assets not yet available for use, an impairment test is performed annually at November 30, until amortization commences, whether or not there are impairment indicators. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Corporation estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (CGU) which represents the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets, groups of assets or CGUs to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, the corporate assets are also allocated to individual CGUs, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of CGUs for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset or a CGU exceeds its recoverable amount by the amount of this excess. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss in the period during which the loss is incurred. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount; on reversal of an impairment loss, the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or CGU in prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

 

k)

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns and other similar allowances.

The Corporation earns revenues from research and development services, license and milestone fees, sale of goods and leasing arrangements, which may include multiple elements. The individual elements of each agreement are divided into separate units of accounting, if certain criteria are met. The applicable revenue recognition method is then applied to each unit. Otherwise, the applicable revenue recognition criteria are applied to combined elements as a single unit of accounting.

Rendering of services

Revenues from research and development services are recognized using the proportional performance method. Under this method, revenues are recognized proportionally with the degree of completion of the services under the contract when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Corporation and revenue and costs associated with the transaction can be measured reliably.

Licensing fees and milestone payments

Certain license fees are comprised of up-front fees and milestone payments. Up-front fees are recognized over the estimated term during which the Corporation maintains substantive obligations. Milestone payments are recognized as revenue when the milestone is achieved, customer acceptance is obtained and the customer is obligated to make performance payments. Certain license arrangements require no continuing involvement by the Corporation. Non-refundable license fees are recognized as revenue when the Corporation has no further involvement or obligation to perform under the arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection of the amount is reasonably assured.

Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when all the following conditions are satisfied:

 

   

the Corporation has transferred to the customer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;

 

   

the Corporation retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;

 

   

the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

 

   

it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity; and

 

   

the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Amounts received in advance of meeting the revenue recognition criteria are recorded as deferred revenue on the consolidated statements of financial position.

Rental revenue

The Corporation accounts for the lease with its tenant as an operating lease when the Corporation has not transferred substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of its property. Revenue recognition under an operating lease commences when the tenant has a right to use the leased asset, and the total amount of contractual rent to be received from the operating lease is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Rental revenue also includes recoveries of operating expenses and property taxes.

 

l)

Research and development expenses

Expenditure on research activities is recognized as an expense in the period during which it is incurred.

An internally generated intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognized if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated:

 

   

the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;

 

   

the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;

 

   

the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

 

   

how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;

 

   

the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and

 

   

the ability to measure reliably the expenditures attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

To date, the Corporation has not capitalized any development costs.

Research and development expenses presented in the statement of operations comprise the costs to manufacture the plasma-derived therapeutics used in pre-clinical tests and clinical trials. It also includes the cost of therapeutics used in the PBI-4050 clinical trials, external consultants supporting the clinical trials and pre-clinical tests, employee compensation and other operating expenses involved in research and development activities. Finally, it includes the cost of developing new bioseparation products.

 

m)

Foreign currency translation

Transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Corporation and its entities at their respective functional currency rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency spot rate of exchange at the reporting date. All differences are taken to the consolidated statements of operations. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates when the initial transactions took place.

(In thousands of Canadian dollars)

 

Group companies

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Canadian dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and their statements of operations are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. The exchange differences arising on the translation are recognised in other comprehensive loss. On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of other comprehensive loss relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

n)

Income taxes

The Corporation uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statements carrying values of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using income tax rates expected to apply when the assets are realized or the liabilities are settled. The effect of a change in income tax rates is recognized in the year during which these rates change. Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will allow the deferred tax assets to be recovered.

 

o)

Share-based payments

The Corporation has a stock option plan and a restricted share unit plan. The fair value of stock options granted is determined at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and is expensed over the vesting period of the options. Awards with graded vesting are considered to be multiple awards for fair value measurement. The fair value of Restricted Share Units (“RSU”) is determined using the market value of the Corporation’s shares on the grant date. When the vesting of RSU is dependent on meeting performance targets, to determine the expense to recognize over the vesting period, the Corporation will estimate the outcome of the performance targets and revise those estimates until the final outcome is determined. An estimate of the number of awards that are expected to be forfeited is also made at the time of grant and revised periodically if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

The vesting program was changed for the 2017-2019 RSU cycle. Under the new program, a portion of the RSU granted will vest at a rate of 33% at the end of each calendar year. These are usually referred to as time based vesting RSU. The remainder of the awards granted require objectives to be achieved by the end of the cycle, in this case the end of 2019, when the performance assessment is made for the vesting to occur. For RSU issued under previous cycles (2016 and prior), the RSU vest upon achievement of the objectives which are assessed on a quarterly basis. Under all programs, the participant must be in the employ of the Corporation when the conditions for obtaining the RSU are met. For RSU that vest upon the achievement of objectives and for which the objectives are considered probable of being achieved at the end of a given reporting period, the Corporation will recognize over the expected vesting period, the probability weighted expense associated with the RSU. On this basis, if the likelihood of an objective being met increases over time, a higher portion of the expense would be recognized, and the opposite, if the probability decreases.

The Corporation’s policy is to issue new shares upon the exercise of stock options and the release of RSU for which conditions have been met.

 

p)

Earnings per share (EPS)

The Corporation presents basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) data for its common shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders of the Corporation by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares, which comprise warrants, future investment rights, stock options and RSU. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, all warrants, future investment rights, stock options and RSU were anti-dilutive since the Corporation reported net losses.

 

q)

Share and warrant issue expenses

The Corporation records share and warrant issue expenses as an increase to the deficit.

 

3.

Significant accounting judgments and estimation uncertainty

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the use of judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the accompanying disclosures. The uncertainty that is often inherent in estimates and assumptions could result in material adjustments to assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

Significant judgments

Revenue recognition – The Corporation does at times enter into revenue agreements which provide, among other payments, up-front payments in exchange for licenses and other access to intellectual property. Management applies its judgment to assess whether these payments were received in exchange for the provision of goods or services which have stand-alone value to the customer.

Functional currency – The functional currency of foreign subsidiaries is reviewed on an ongoing basis to assess if changes in the underlying transactions, events and conditions have resulted in a change. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 no changes were deemed necessary. This assessment is also performed for new subsidiaries. When assessing the functional currency of a foreign subsidiary, management’s judgment is applied in order to determine, amongst other things, the primary economic environment in which an entity operates, the currency in which the activities are funded and the degree of autonomy of the foreign subsidiary from the reporting entity in its operations and financially. Judgment is also applied in determining whether the inter-company loans denominated in foreign currencies form part of the parent Corporation’s net investment in the foreign subsidiary. Considering such loans as part of the net investment in the foreign subsidiary results in foreign currency translation gains or losses resulting from the translation of these loans being recorded in other comprehensive loss instead of the statement of operations.

Determining whether assets acquired constitute a business – In determining whether the acquisition of an equity interest in Telesta Therapeutics Inc. (“Telesta”) fell within the scope of IFRS 3, Business Combination (see note 5), management evaluated whether Telesta represented an integrated set of activities and assets capable of being conducted and managed for the purpose of providing a return in the form of dividends, lower cost or other economic benefits directly to investors or other owners, members or participants. In making this evaluation, management considered whether Telesta had inputs, processes and other elements making it a business. Although businesses usually have outputs, outputs are not required for an integrated set to qualify as a business. Management concluded that it had inputs, processes and other elements making it a business and therefore accounted for the acquisition as a business combination.

Assets arising from a business combination - The cost of the acquisition of a business must be allocated to the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired based on their estimated fair values in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 3, Business Combinations. The estimated lives and amortization periods for certain identifiable assets must also be determined.

As part of this allocation process, the Corporation must identify and attribute values and estimated lives to the identifiable assets acquired. These determinations involve significant estimates and assumptions regarding the value a market participant would be willing to pay for capital assets and intangibles. These estimates and assumptions determine the amount allocated to the identifiable capital and intangible assets and the amortization period for capital assets and intangible assets with finite lives. If future events or results differ from these estimates and assumptions, the Corporation could record increased amortization or impairment charges in the future.

Going concern - In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate and whether there are material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern, management must estimate future cash flows for a period of at least twelve months following the end of the reporting period by considering relevant available information about the future. Management has considered a wide range of factors relating to expected cash inflows such as product sales, including whether the Corporation will obtain regulatory approval for commercialization of therapeutics, licensing and milestone revenues and potential sources of debt and equity financing including the exercise of in-the-money warrants and options. Management has also estimated expected cash outflows such as operating and capital expenditures and debt repayment schedules, including the ability to delay uncommitted expenditures. These cash flow estimates are subject to uncertainty. Management has concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least the next twelve months.

Estimates and assumptions

Assessing the recoverable amount of intangible assets not yet available for use – In determining the value in use as part of the impairment test on the intangible assets that are not yet available for use (note 11) performed as of November 30th each year, management must make estimates and assumptions regarding the estimated future cash flows such as production capacities and costs, market penetration and selling prices for the Corporation’s therapeutics and, the commencement date for their commercialisation, etc. The future cash flows are estimated using a five-year projection of cash flows before taxes which are based on the most recent budgets and forecasts available to the Corporation. The fifth year was then extrapolated, including a 2% annual growth rate. The estimated cash flows are then discounted to their net present value using a pre-tax discount rate that includes a risk premium specific to the line of business. The Corporation determined its value in use by applying a pre-tax discount rate of 17.33% at November 30, 2017 equivalent to a post-tax discount rate of 11.87%. The values of the Canadian to U.S. dollar exchange rates used over the forecasting period ranged from 1.23 to 1.24 CAD/USD rate and were based on forward exchange contract rates.

Expense recognition of restricted share units – The expense recognized in regards to the RSU for which the performance conditions have not yet been met is based on an estimation of the probability of the successful achievement of a number of performance conditions, many of which depend on research, regulatory process and business development outcomes which are difficult to predict, as well as the timing of their achievement. The final expense is only determinable when the outcome is known.

Fair value of financial instruments – The individual fair values attributed to the different components of a financing transaction, are determined using valuation techniques. The Corporation uses judgment to select the methods used to make certain assumptions and in performing the fair value calculations in order to determine the values attributed to each component of a transaction at the time of their issuance and for disclosing the fair value of financial instruments subsequently carried at amortized cost. The fair value estimates could be significantly different because of the use of judgment and the inherent uncertainty in estimating the fair value of these instruments that are not quoted in an active market. The assumptions regarding the long-term debt are disclosed in note 14.

Valuation of deferred income tax assets – To determine the extent to which deferred income tax assets can be recognized, management estimates the amount of probable future taxable profits that will be available against which deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses can be utilized. Management exercises judgment to determine the extent to which realization of future taxable benefits is probable, considering the history of taxable profits, budgets and forecasts and availability of tax strategies.

Change in standards, interpretations and accounting policies

 

a)

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

Standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective up to the date of the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements are listed below. This listing of standards and interpretations issued are those that the Corporation reasonably expects might have an impact on disclosures, financial position or performance when applied at a future date. The Corporation intends to adopt these standards when they become effective.

IFRS 9, Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement (“IFRS 9”)

In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9, with a mandatory effective date of January 1, 2018. The new standard brings together the classification and measurements, impairment and hedge accounting phases of the IASB’s project to replace IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. In addition to the new requirements for classification and measurement of financial assets, a new general hedge accounting model and other amendments issued in previous versions of IFRS 9, the standard also introduces new impairment requirements that are based on a forward-looking expected credit loss model. The Corporation does not anticipate IFRS 9 having a significant impact on the financial statements upon adoption.

IFRIC 22, Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration (“IFRIC 22”)

In December 2016, the IASB issued IFRIC 22, which addresses how to determine the date of the transaction for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income (or part of it) and on the derecognition of a non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from the payment or receipt of advance consideration in a foreign currency. IFRIC 22 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Corporation does not anticipate IFRIC 22 having a significant impact on the financial statements upon adoption.

IFRS 15, Revenue from contracts with customers (“IFRS 15”)

In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15, a new standard that specifies the steps and timing for issuers to recognize revenue as well as requiring them to provide more informative, relevant disclosures. IFRS 15 supersedes IAS 11, Construction Contracts, and IAS 18, Revenue and related interpretations. Adoption of IFRS 15 is mandatory and will be effective for the Corporation’s fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2018, with earlier adoption permitted.

IFRS 16, Leases (“IFRS 16”)

In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, a new standard that replaces IAS 17, Leases. IFRS 16 is a major revision of the way in which companies account for leases and will no longer permit off balance sheet leases. Adoption of IFRS 16 is mandatory and will be effective for the Corporation’s fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2019. Early application is permitted for companies that also apply IFRS 15.

The Corporation is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting IFRS 15 and IFRS 16 on its consolidated financial statements.

b)

Adoption of new accounting standards

The accounting policies used in these annual consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied by the Corporation in its December 31, 2016 annual consolidated financial statements except for the amendments to certain accounting standards which are relevant to the Corporation and were adopted by the Corporation as of January 1, 2017 as described below.

IAS 7, Statement of Cash Flows (“IAS 7”)

An amendment to IAS 7 requires additional disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017, and is applied prospectively. The adoption of the amendment did not have a significant impact on the disclosures as the Corporation was already providing similar disclosures in its long-term debt note in the consolidated financial statements.

IAS 12, Income Taxes (“IAS 12”)

An amendment to IAS 12 clarifies the guidance on the recognition of deferred tax assets related to unrealized losses resulting from debt instruments that are measured at their fair values on a continuous basis. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017 and is applied retrospectively. The adoption of the amendment did not have any impact on the consolidated financial statements on the adoption date since the Corporation did not hold any debt instrument measured at fair value on a continuous basis for which there were unrealized losses.

 

c)

Change in accounting policies

Segmented information

During the second quarter of 2017, the Corporation made changes to the reported operating segments by splitting the former Protein technology segment into two new segments being the Bioseparations and the Plasma-derived therapeutics segments. The Small molecule therapeutic segment was unaffected by this change. The modification reflects the desire of the Chief Operating Decision Makers (“CODM”) to obtain, starting in the second quarter of 2017, discrete financial information to assess the performance of these activities separately as the Plasma-derived therapeutic business approaches the commercial launch of its first therapeutic (plasminogen) with other therapeutics expected to be commercialized in the following years. The organizational structure and business activities required to develop the products, run the clinical trials and support the commercial activities relating to the sale of a plasma-derived therapeutic are different than those required to develop and commercialize the bioseparation products. The CODM assess the performance of the operating segments based on segment profit or loss which comprises revenues, cost of sales and production, research and development and administration, selling and marketing expense.

The full 2017 and 2016 years segments disclosures have been restated to reflect the changes in the Corporation’s operating segments.

Business combination

On October 31, 2016 (the “closing date”), the Corporation acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Telesta Therapeutics Inc., a Canadian based company at a price of $0.14 per Telesta common share, payable in Prometic common shares. The number of common shares issued by Prometic to acquire the Telesta common shares was based on the volume weighted average closing price (“VWAP”) of Prometic’s common shares for the five trading days prior to the closing date of the acquisition of $2.98. Accordingly, each Telesta common share was acquired for 0.04698 Prometic common share and a total of 14,258,213 Prometic common shares were issued. The Corporation also issued 277,910 warrants having an exercise price of $6.39 maturing on September 23, 2019 in replacement of the Telesta warrants. The fair value of the common shares issued by the Corporation was calculated using the closing market price of the shares on the closing date of $2.82. The fair value of the warrants issued was determined using a Black-Scholes pricing model and the following assumptions: volatility 56%, interest-free rate 0.56% and a marketability discount of 20%.

The fair value of the consideration given is presented in the table below:

2017

On April 27, 2017, the Corporation issued a third Original Issue Discount (“OID”) loan and warrants (the “Sixth Warrants”) to the holder of the long-term debt for total proceeds of $25,010. The total proceeds were allocated to the debt and the warrants based on fair value at the issue date. Further details concerning the warrants are provided in note 17c. Under the terms of the new loan, the Corporation will repay the face value of the OID loan, in the amount of $39,170 at maturity on July 31, 2022. The OID loan was recorded at its fair value at the transaction date less the associated transaction costs of $184 for a net amount of $18,363. The fair value of the loan was determined using a discounted cash flow model for the debt instrument with a market interest rate of 15.5%.

In July 2017, the holder of the long-term debt used the set off of principal right under the loan agreements, to settle the amounts due to the Corporation following its participation in a private placement for 5,045,369 common shares which occurred concurrently with the closing of a public offering of common shares, on July 6, 2017.

As a result, the face value of the third OID loan was reduced by $8,577, from $39,170 to $30,593. The reduction of $8,577 is equivalent to the value of the shares issued at the agreed price of $1.70 concluded in connection with the private placement. This transaction was accounted for as an extinguishment of a portion of the OID loan and the difference between the adjustment to the carrying value of the loan of $4,134 and the amount recorded for the shares issued of $8,325 was recorded as a loss on extinguishment of a loan of $4,191. The shares were recorded at fair value, determined using the closing price of $1.65 on the date of issue July 6, 2017, resulting in a value of the shares issued of $8,325.

On November 30, 2017, the Corporation entered into a non-revolving credit facility agreement bearing interest of 8.5% per annum which expires November 30, 2019. The credit facility comprises two tranches of US$40,000,000 which become available to draw upon once certain conditions are met. The drawdowns on the available tranches are limited to US$10,000,000 per month.

As part of the agreement, the Corporation issued 54 million warrants (“Seventh Warrants”) to the holder of the long-term debt in consideration for the non-revolving credit facility and US$10,000. Further details concerning the warrants are provided in note 17c. At each drawdown, the value of the proceeds drawn are allocated to the debt and equity based on their fair value.

The Corporation drew on the credit facility on November 30, 2017 and on December 14, 2017 respectively. The total proceeds allocated to the debt upon the two drawdowns in 2017 was $21,098. The fair value of the debt was determined using a discounted cash flow model for the debt instrument with a market interest rate of 16.4%. The fees incurred in regards of the credit facility, which comprise legal fees and also the 10,000,000 warrants issued upon signature of the credit facility (note 17c), for a total of $5,473 have been recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position as other long-term assets and will be amortized and recognized into the consolidated statement of operations over the term of the credit facility.

At December 31, 2017, the Corporation was in compliance with covenants of all outstanding loans and the credit facility.

2016

On February 29, 2016, pursuant to an additional financing for total proceeds of $30,010, the Corporation issued additional debt and warrants (the “Fifth Warrants”) to the holder of the long-term debt. Under the terms of this addendum to the first Original Issue Discount (“OID”) loan, the face value of the OID loan to be repaid at the maturity loan, which remains unchanged at July 31, 2022, increased by $50,373. This brought the total face value of the first OID loan to $61,704. Further details concerning the warrants issued are provided in note 17c.

The total proceeds were allocated to the debt and warrants based on fair value at the issue date. The carrying amount of the debt increased by the issue date fair value of the additional sum to repay at the maturity date less the associated transaction costs of $165, representing a net amount of $19,427. The fair value of the increased payment of $50,373 at the maturity date was determined using a discounted cash flow model for the debt instrument with a market interest rate of 15.84%. When combining the loan that was outstanding at the date of the increase with the addendum, the combined effective rate that will be used to recognise the interest expense on the first OID loan going forward is 14.8%.

In May 2016, the holder of the long-term debt used the set off of principal right under the loan agreements, to settle the amounts due to the Corporation following its participation in a private placement for 1,921,776 common shares which occurred concurrently with the closing of a public offering of common shares, on May 25, 2016.

As a result, the face value of the second OID loan was reduced by $5,958, from $31,306 to $25,348. The reduction of $5,958 is equivalent to the value of the shares issued at the agreed price of $3.10 concluded in connection with the private placement. This transaction was accounted for as an extinguishment of a portion of the OID loan and the difference between the adjustment to the carrying value of the loan of $3,200 and the amount recorded for the shares issued of $5,785 was recorded as a loss on extinguishment of a loan of $2,585. The shares were recorded at fair value, determined using the closing price of $3.01 on the date of issue May 25, 2016, resulting in a value of the shares issued of $5,785.

On October 31, 2016, concurrently with the closing of the Telesta acquisition, the Corporation entered into a private placement agreement with the holder of the long-term debt for 1,401,632 common shares. The holder of the long-term debt has used the set off of principal rights under the loan agreements, to settle the amounts due to the Corporation following its participation in the private placement.

As a result, the face value of the second OID loan was reduced by $4,176, from $25,348 to $21,172. The reduction of $4,176 is equivalent to the value of the shares issued at the 5-day VWAP of $2.98 concluded in connection with the private placement. This transaction was accounted for as an extinguishment of a portion of the OID loan and the difference between the adjustment to the carrying value of the loan of $2,343 and the amount recorded for the shares issued of $3,953 was recorded as a loss on extinguishment of a loan of $1,609. The shares were recorded at fair value, determined using the closing price of $2.82 on the date of issue October 31, 2016, resulting in a value of the shares issued of $3,953.

Settlement of litigation

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Corporation was served with a lawsuit in the Federal Court of Canada (Court) relating to a claim for infringement of two Canadian issued patents held by a third party plaintiff, GE Healthcare Biosciences AB (“GE”). The Corporation filed a statement of defence on the infringement claims, in addition to a counterclaim requesting that the Court declare both patents invalid and unenforceable.

The Corporation and GE entered into a settlement and license agreement on October 25, 2016 to mutually discontinue all past claims and counterclaims between the parties and to commercialize the underlying technologies over the term of the license, which shall not extend, on a country-by-country basis, beyond October 2021 (the “Term”). Under the agreement, Prometic shall pay GE an aggregate amount of $1,000 between October 25, 2016 and October 25, 2020 in consideration thereof, Minimum Annual Royalty (“MAR”) payments totaling $587 over the Term and a 2% net sales royalty on sales of certain Prometic bioseparation products to third parties and affiliates during the Term; the royalties being creditable against the MAR. The net sales royalty expense will be recorded as such product sales are recognized.

As a result, the Corporation recorded an expense of $913 representing the present value of the $1,000 settlement fee determined using an effective interest rate of 15.8%, under administration expenses in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016.

b)

Royalty payment obligation

On December 16, 2016, the Corporation and one of its licensee’s modified the terms of a license agreement entered into by the parties. As a result, the Corporation reacquired the rights initially granted in the license agreement, to a 50% share of the worldwide profits pertaining to the sale of plasminogen for the treatment of plasminogen congenital deficiency (the “Reacquired Right”). As consideration for the Reacquired Right, the Corporation issued 1,683,040 common shares (note 17a), accepted to forego the payment of an outstanding receivable balance of $1,334 and agreed to make royalty payments on the sales of plasminogen for congenital deficiency, using a rate of 5% up to a total of US$2,500,000. If by December 31, 2020 the full royalty obligation has not been paid, the unpaid balance will become due. The Corporation recognized a royalty payment obligation of $3,100 in the consolidated statement of financial position at December 31, 2016, representing the discounted value of the expected royalty payments to be made until December 31, 2020, using a discount rate of 9.2%. The aggregate value of the consideration given of $7,059 was recognized as an addition to intangible assets.

The Corporation uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of options at the date of grant. The weighted average inputs into the model and the resulting grant date fair values during the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were as follows:

 

     2017     2016  

Expected dividend rate

     —         —    

Expected volatility of share price

     61.8     63.3

Risk-free interest rate

     1.2     0.7

Expected life in years

     6.8       3.8  

Weighted average grant date fair value

   $ 1.19     $ 1.36  

The expected volatility was based on historical volatility of the common shares while the expected life was based on the historical holding patterns. The fair value of the grants is expensed over the vesting period on the assumption that between 3.4% to 5.5% (between 2.8% and 4.6% in 2016) of the unvested stock options will be forfeited annually over the service period.

A share-based payment compensation expense of $3,436 was recorded for the stock options for the year ended December 31, 2017 ($2,871 for the year ended December 31, 2016).

Restricted share units

The Corporation has established an equity-settled restricted share units plan for executive officers of the Corporation, as part of its incentive program designed to align the interests of its executives with those of its shareholders, and in accordance with its Long Term Incentive Plan. The vesting conditions are established by the Board of Directors on the grant date and must generally be met within 3 years. Each vested RSU gives the right to receive a common share.

During 2017, the Board decided to replace 1,220,623 of the expired RSU with an equivalent number of RSU keeping the same vesting conditions but extending the evaluation period for the attainment of the objectives by one year to December 31, 2017. The replacement RSU were issued on April 11, 2017. This transaction was accounted for as a modification of the existing RSU that did not have an impact on the value of the RSU.

The RSU granted prior to the grant on November 24, 2017 vest upon achievement of various corporate and commercial objectives and the underlying shares become available for issuance once the RSU are vested. On November 24, 2017, the Corporation granted 6,228,456 RSU to management (the “2017-2019 RSU”), the time period to meet the vesting conditions goes until December 31, 2019. The grant included 1,132,448 units that vest at a rate of 33.3% at the end of each year and become available for release at the time of vesting, and 5,096,008 units that have performance-based conditions with a scaling payout depending on performance. These 2017-2019 performance based RSU will only vest at the end of 2019 if individual RSU objectives are met and if the participant is still at the employ of the Corporation at that time.

Changes in the number of RSU outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 are presented in the following table. The units granted represent the maximum payout based on achievement of all objectives.

On April 27, 2017, pursuant to a financing for total proceeds of $25,010, the Corporation issued additional debt and the Sixth Warrants to the holder of the long-term debt. Further details concerning the debt issued are provided in note 14. The Sixth Warrants consist of 10,600,407 warrants, each giving the holder the right to acquire one common share at an exercise price of $3.70, paid either in cash or in consideration of the lender’s cancellation of an equivalent amount of the face value of an OID loan. The warrants expire on October 26, 2023. The value of the proceeds attributed to the warrants of $6,463 was recorded in warrants and future investment rights.

On November 30, 2017, pursuant to entering into a non-revolving credit facility agreement, the Corporation issued the Seventh Warrants to the holder of the long-term debt. Further details concerning the credit facility are provided in note 14. The Seventh Warrants consist of 54 million warrants from which 10 million warrants were exercisable as of the date of the agreement and the remaining 44 million warrants become exercisable as and if the Corporation draws upon the credit facility in increments of US$10,000,000; five million warrants become exercisable for each US$10,000,000 drawn on the first US$40,000,000 tranche of the credit facility and six million warrants become exercisable for each US$10,000,000 drawn on the second US$40,000,000 tranche of the credit facility. Each warrant gives the holder the right to acquire one common share at an exercise price of $1.70. The warrants expire on June 30, 2026. Although the warrants are issued and outstanding in the warrant table above, for accounting purposes, these warrants will be recognized and measured at the time they become exercisable.

In August 2017, the Corporation entered into a licensing agreement with a third-party in China and as a result, milestone and licensing revenues of $19,724 were recorded during the third quarter of 2017. The third party having not remitted funds associated with the license fee and initial milestone payment within the specified payment terms was consequently in breach of the agreement. As a result, the Corporation was in a position to exercise its contractual rights and opted to terminate the agreement in March 2018 thereby returning all the rights previously conferred under the license agreement back to Prometic. The Corporation has written-off the accounts receivable to bad debt expense as at December 31, 2017 (see note 29b).

Segmented information

The Corporation’s three operating segments are Bioseparations, Plasma-derived therapeutics and Small molecule therapeutics (see note 4c – change in accounting policies).

Bioseparations: The segment develops and manufactures Prometic’s core bioseparation technologies and products. Its proprietary affinity absorbents and Mimetic LigandTM purification platform are used by pharmaceutical and medical companies worldwide and for its own extraction and purification manufacturing processes.

Plasma-derived therapeutics: The segment develops manufacturing processes, based on Prometic’s own affinity technology, to provide efficient extraction and purification of therapeutic proteins from human plasma, the Plasma Protein Purification System (PPPSTM), a multi-product sequential purification process. This technology is key for extracting proteins, which Prometic plans to commercialize with an emphasis on therapeutic products targeting orphan and rare diseases.

Small molecule therapeutics: The segment is a small molecule drug discovery and development business. It has lead compounds, namely PBI-4050 which targets unmet medical needs such as the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (“IPF”), Alström syndrome as well as other fibrotic indications. The operating segment is also working on multiple follow-on drugs such as PBI-4547 and PBI-4425 at the pre-clinical stage.

The reconciliation to the statement of operations column includes the elimination of intercompany transactions between the segments and the remaining activities not included in the above segments. These expenses generally pertain to public entity reporting obligations, investor relations, financing and other corporate office activities.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as the accounting policies of the Corporation. The operating segments results include intercompany transactions between the segments which are done in a manner similar to transactions with third parties.

Long-term receivables

     1,943        1,943        1,821        1,821  

Financial liabilities

           

Settlement fee payable

     190        305        270        272  

Royalty payment obligation

     2,963        3,133        3,100        2,832  

Other employee benefit liabilities

     593        911        914        911  

Long-term debt

   $ 87,020      $ 99,662      $ 48,115      $ 53,551  

The fair value of the long-term debt at December 31, 2017 was calculated using a discounted cashflow model via the market interest rate specific to the term of the debt instruments ranging from 7.6% to 16.4%. The fair value differs from the carrying value of the long-term debt of $87,020 which is carried at amortized cost.

The fair value of the advance on revenues from a supply agreement approximates the carrying amount since the loan bears interest at a fixed rate of interest approximating market rates for this type of advance.

Fair value hierarchy

Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the consolidated statements of financial position are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

Level 1 – valuation based on quoted prices observed in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – valuation techniques based on inputs that are quoted prices of similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices used in a valuation model that are observable for that instrument; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 – valuation techniques with significant unobservable market inputs.

PROMETIC LIFE SCIENCES INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the years ended on December 31, 2017 and 2016

(In thousands of Canadian dollars)

 

A financial instrument is classified to the lowest level of the hierarchy for which a significant input has been considered in measuring fair value.

Cash, restricted cash and marketable securities are considered to be level 1 fair value measurements.

The long-term receivables, settlement fee payable, royalty payment obligation, other employee benefit liabilities, and long-term debt are level 2 measurements.

 

b)

Financial risk management

The Corporation has exposure to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Corporation’s Board of Directors has the overall responsibility for the oversight of these risks and reviews the Corporation’s policies on an ongoing basis to ensure that these risks are appropriately managed.

Credit risk:

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Corporation if a customer, partner or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Corporation’s cash, investments, receivables and share purchase loan to an officer. The carrying amount of the financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.

The Corporation reviews a new customer’s credit history before extending credit and conducts regular reviews of its existing customers’ credit performance. The Corporation evaluates accounts receivable balances based on the age of the receivable, credit history of the customers and past collection experience. As at December 31, 2017 and 2016, the allocation of the trade receivables based on aging is indicated in the following table:

 

     2017      2016  

Current and not impaired

   $ 919      $ 1,596  

Past due in the following periods:

     

31 to 60 days

     876        1,212  

61 to 90 days

     —          1  

91 to 180 days

     1        541  

Over 180 days

     (782      (837
  

 

 

    

 

 

 
   $ 1,796      $ 3,340  
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

Trade receivables included amounts from two customers which represent approximately 82% (70% and 13% respectively) of the Corporation’s total trade accounts receivable as at December 31, 2017, and four customers which represent approximately 87% (34%, 22%, 16% and 15% respectively) of the Corporation’s total trade accounts receivable as at December 31, 2016.

In August 2017, the Corporation entered into a licensing agreement with a third-party in China and as a result, milestone and licensing revenues of $19,724 were recorded during the third quarter. The third party having not remitted funds associated with the license fee and initial milestone payment within the specified payment terms was consequently in breach of the agreement. As a result, the corporation was in a position to exercise its contractual rights and opted to terminate the agreement in March 2018 thereby returning all the rights previously conferred under the license agreement back to Prometic. The Corporation has written-off the accounts receivable of $18,518 to bad debt expense and has reversed the withholding taxes of $1,972 expected to be paid on this transaction as at December 31, 2017. The difference between the amount of revenue recognized and the bad debt amount is the withholding taxes that were recorded in deduction of the accounts receivable and the effect of the change in the CAD/GBP exchange rate on the accounts receivable.

Liquidity risk:

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Corporation will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Corporation manages its liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecasts and actual cash flows.

2)

Under the terms of the OID loans and the non-revolving line of credit (note 14), the holder of Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Warrants may decide to cancel a portion of the face values of these loans as payment upon the exercise of these warrants. The maximum repayment due on these loans has been included in the above table.

Market risk:

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates and foreign exchange rates, will affect the Corporation’s income or the value of its financial instruments.

i) Interest risk

The majority of the Corporation’s debt is at a fixed rate or a fixed amount including interest. Therefore there is limited exposure to changes in interest payments as a result of interest rate risk.

ii) Foreign exchange risk:

The Corporation is exposed to the financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates. The Corporation operates in the Isle of Man, the United Kingdom and in the United States and a portion of its expenses incurred are in U.S dollars and in Great British Pounds (“GBP”). The majority of the Corporation’s revenues are in U.S. dollars and in GBP which serve to mitigate a portion of the foreign exchange risk relating to the expenditures. Financial instruments potentially exposing the Corporation to foreign exchange risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, receivables, trade and other payables, advance on revenues from a supply agreement and the amounts drawn on the non-revolving credit facility. The Corporation manages foreign exchange risk by holding foreign currencies to support forecasted cash outflows in foreign currencies.

Based on the above net exposures as at December 31, 2017, and assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 10 % depreciation or appreciation of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar would result in a decrease or an increase of the consolidated net loss of approximately $3,543. The Corporation has not hedged its exposure to currency fluctuations.
