NEOVASC INC.
Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019
(Expressed in U.S. dollars)

1. INCORPORATION AND GOING CONCERN

(a) Business description

Neovasc Inc. ("Neovasc" or the "Company") is a company incorporated and domiciled in Canada.  The Company was incorporated as Medical Ventures Corp. under the Company Act (British Columbia) on November 2, 2000 and was continued under the Canada Business Corporations Act on April 19, 2002.  On July 1, 2008, the Company changed its name to Neovasc Inc. Neovasc is the parent company. 

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company as at June 30, 2020 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned.  The Company's principal place of business is located at Suite 5138 - 13562 Maycrest Way, Richmond, British Columbia, V6V 2J7 and the Company's registered office is located at Suite 2600 - 595 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V7X 1L3, Canada. The Company's shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: NVCN) and the Nasdaq Capital Market (NASDAQ: NVCN).

Neovasc is a specialty medical device company that develops, manufactures and markets products for the rapidly growing cardiovascular marketplace. Its products include the Neovasc Reducer™ ("Reducer"), for the treatment of refractory angina, which is not currently commercially available in the United States and has been commercially available in Europe since 2015, and the Tiara™ ("Tiara"), for the transcatheter treatment of mitral valve disease, which is currently under clinical investigation in the United States, Canada and Europe.

(b) Going concern and uncertainty

As at June 30, 2020, the Company had approximately $11.4 million in cash and cash equivalents. The Company expects that it will have sufficient cash on hand to sustain operations until mid-October 2020 at the current burn rate. Given the current nature of the impact of COVID-19 on the capital markets, the Company can give no assurance that it will be able to obtain the additional funds needed, on terms agreeable to the Company, or at all. These circumstances indicate the existence of material uncertainty and cast substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the going concern assumption were not appropriate. Should the Company be unable to obtain additional capital in the future and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern be impaired, material adjustments may be necessary to these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

(c) Share consolidation (reverse stock split)

On September 18, 2018, the Company effected a share consolidation (reverse stock split) of its issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of the Company ("Common Shares") on the basis of one post-consolidation Common Share for every one hundred pre-consolidation Common Shares. On June 25, 2019, the Company effected a share consolidation (reverse stock split) of its issued and outstanding Common Shares the basis of one post-consolidation Common Share for every ten pre-consolidation Common Shares. All references in these consolidated financial statements to Common Shares and options have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the share consolidations.  The number of 2017 Warrants (as defined below) and aggregate principal amount of 2017 Notes and 2019 Notes (as defined below) were not affected by the consolidations, but the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the 2017 Warrants or conversion of the 2017 Notes and the 2019 Notes will be adjusted proportionally to each share consolidation ratio.

(d) Nasdaq listing

On January 14, 2019, the Company received written notification (the "Bid Price Notification Letter") from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement set forth in the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until July 15, 2019, to regain compliance. The Company received confirmation of compliance in respect of this deficiency on July 17, 2019.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019
(Expressed in U.S. dollars)

1.    INCORPORATION AND GOING CONCERN (continued)

(d)  Nasdaq listing (continued)

On August 22, 2019, the Company received written notification (the "Market Value Notification Letter") from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with the $35 million minimum market value requirement set forth in the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until February 17, 2020, to regain compliance.

The Company did not regain compliance by February 17, 2020.  On February 19, 2020, the Company received notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the "Staff") of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") indicating that the Staff had determined to delist the Company's common shares from Nasdaq unless the Company requests a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel. On February 26, 2020, the Company requested such a hearing and the date of the hearing was set by the Nasdaq for April 2, 2020.  On April 30, 2020, the Panel granted the Company's request for an extension through August 17, 2020 to evidence compliance with the $35 million minimum market value of listed securities requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq.

On June 25, 2020,  the Nasdaq Notice confirmed that the Company has regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) pursuant to Listing Rule 5810 as the Company's market value exceeded $35 million for 10 consecutive business days between May 29, 2020 through June 11, 2020.

(e) Impacts of COVID-19 pandemic

The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business is highly uncertain and difficult to predict, as the response to the pandemic is in its early stages and information is rapidly evolving. Furthermore, capital markets and economies worldwide have also been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is possible that it could cause a local and/or global economic recession. Such economic disruption could have a material adverse effect on our business.

The severity of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the duration and severity of the pandemic and the extent and severity of the impact on the Company's customers, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. The Company's future results of operations and liquidity could be adversely impacted by a decrease in Reducer sales, delays in payments of outstanding receivable amounts beyond normal payment terms, supply chain disruptions and uncertain demand, and the impact of any initiatives or programs that the Company may undertake to address financial and operational challenges faced by its customers. As of the date of issuance of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may materially impact the Company's financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations is uncertain.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), using the accounting policies consistent with the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.  These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and the accompanying notes included in those financial statements.  For a full description of accounting policies, refer to the audited annual consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any other period.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Neovasc Medical Inc., Neovasc Tiara Inc., Neovasc GmbH, Neovasc (US) Inc., Neovasc Management Inc., Neovasc Medical Ltd., and B-Balloon Ltd. (which is in the process of being voluntarily liquidated).  All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

(b)  Presentation of financial statements

The Company has elected to present the 'Statement of Comprehensive Income' in a single statement.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies adopted in the Company's most recent annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, except the following:

New Accounting Policy - Government assistance and government grants

Government grants are recognized when there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and that the Company will comply with all conditions related to the grant. A grant without specified future performance conditions is recognized in income when the grant proceeds are receivable. A grant that imposes specified future performance conditions is recognized in income when those conditions are met. Government grants related to current expenses are recognized as income over the period necessary to match them with the related expenses, for which they are intended to compensate, on a systematic basis. Government grants related to specific projects are recognized as income over the period necessary to match them with the related project costs, for which they are intended to compensate, on a systematic basis. Government grants in the form of forgivable loans are treated as a government grant when there is reasonable assurance that the entity will meet the terms for forgiveness of the loan.

Government grants received before the income recognition criteria are satisfied are presented as a liability in the statement of financial position. Government refundable advances provided to the Company to finance research and development activities on a risk-sharing basis are considered part of the Company's operating activities and are therefore presented as cash flows from operating activities in the statement of cash flows.

4. MANAGING CAPITAL

The Company's objectives, when managing capital, are to safeguard cash as well as maintain financial liquidity and flexibility in order to preserve its ability to meet financial obligations and deploy capital to grow its business.  In the definition of capital, the Company includes equity and the convertible debt. There has been no change in the definition since the prior year.

The Company's financial strategy is designed to maintain a flexible capital structure consistent with the objectives stated above and to respond to business growth opportunities and changes in economic conditions.  In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, new units or new debt (secured, unsecured, convertible and/or other types of available debt instruments).  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, there were no changes in the Company's capital management policy.

5. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

(a) Fair value estimation

The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify fair value measurements based upon the observability of significant inputs used in the valuation techniques.  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 |  Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 |  Inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices)

Level 3 |  Inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs)

The following table sets forth the Company's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.  As required by IFRS 13, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

As at December 31, 2019:

    Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total  
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss                        
2017 Convertible Notes $ -   $ -   $ 5,400,189   $ 5,400,189  
2019 Convertible Notes $ -   $ -   $ 9,265,480   $ 9,265,480  

As at June 30, 2020:

    Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total  
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss                        
2019 Convertible Notes $ -   $ -   $ 9,714,498   $ 9,714,498  
2020 Convertible Notes $ -   $ -   $ 2,619,248   $ 2,619,248  
Derivative liability - warrants $ -   $ -   $ 1,624,667   $ 1,624,667

5. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

(a) Fair value estimation (continued)

The carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities in each category are as follows:

  Note   June 30,
2020
    December 31,
2019
 
Amortized cost              
Cash and cash equivalents 6 $ 11,448,181   $ 5,292,833  
Accounts receivable 7   593,213     715,696  
Restricted cash 11   440,705     462,874  
    $ 12,482,099   $ 6,471,403  
Other financial liabilities at amortized cost              
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (current) 14 $ 7,061,422   $ 7,794,456  
Accrued liabilities (non-current) 14   1,237,069     1,186,601  
               
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss              
2017 Convertible Notes (current) 17 $ -   $ 5,400,189  
2019 Convertible Notes (current) 17   955,898     1,090,561  
2019 Convertible Notes (non-current) 17   8,758,600     8,174,919  
2020 Convertible Notes (non-current) 17   2,619,248     -  
Derivative liability warrant (non-current) 17   1,624,667     -  
    $ 22,256,904   $ 23,646,726  

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, restricted cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities are considered a reasonable approximation of fair value due to their short-term nature.

(b)  Foreign exchange risk

A portion of the Company's revenues are derived from product sales in Europe, denominated in Euros. Management has considered the stability of the foreign currency and the impact a change in the exchange rate may have on future earnings during the forecasting process. The Euro represents approximately 49% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively (six months ended June 30, 2019: 35%). A 10% change in the foreign exchange rates for the Euro for foreign currency denominated accounts receivable will impact net income as at June 30, 2020 by approximately $9,199 (as at June 30, 2019: $6,445), and a similar change in foreign currency denominated accounts payable, which are denominated in Canadian dollars and Euros will impact net income by approximately $88,314 and $133,168 respectively, as at June 30, 2020 (as at June 30, 2019: $77,945 and $86,714). A similar change in foreign currency denominated cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash, which are denominated in Canadian dollars and Euros will impact net income by approximately $126,723 and $45,398, respectively, as at June 30, 2020 (as at June 30, 2019: $85,470 and $56,715). The Company does not hedge its foreign exchange risk.

(c)  Interest rate risk

The Company is not exposed to material cash flow interest rate risk on fixed rate cash balances, and short-term accounts

receivable, accounts payable, 2017 Notes that do not accrue interest or 2019 Notes that have fixed interest terms.

5. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

(d)  Liquidity risk

As at June 30, 2020, the Company had $11,448,181 in cash and cash equivalents as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $5,292,833 at December 31, 2019.  The Company is dependent on the profitable commercialization of its products or obtaining additional debt or equity financing to fund ongoing operations until profitability is achieved.

The Company monitors its cash flow on a monthly basis and compares actual performance to the budget for the period. The Company expects that its cash on hand as at June 30, 2020 is sufficient to sustain operations until approximately mid-October 2020 at the current burn rate. The Company may obtain additional debt or equity financing in future periods. Further into the future the Company is dependent on the profitable commercialization of its products or obtaining additional debt or equity financing to fund ongoing operations until profitability is achieved.

Trade payables were aged as follows as at June 30, 2020 and do not include accrued liabilities. All trades payables are current liabilities:

    Total  
Current $ 1,285,931  
31-60 days   922,789  
Over 60 days   1,044,000  
  $ 3,252,720  

The following is an analysis of the contractual maturities of the Company's non-derivative accrued liabilities as at June 30, 2020:

    Within One Year     Between One
and Two Years
 
             
Collaboration, license and settlement agreements (undiscounted) $ 1,250,000   $ 1,250,000  
  $ 1,250,000   $ 1,250,000  

(e)  Credit risk

Credit risk arises from the possibility that the entities to which the Company sells products may experience financial difficulty and be unable to fulfill their contractual obligations. This risk is mitigated by proactive credit management policies that include regular monitoring of the debtor's payment history and performance. The Company does not require collateral from its customers as security for trade accounts receivable but may require certain customers to pay in advance of any work being performed or product being shipped.

The maximum exposure, if all the Company's customers were to default at the same time is the full carrying value of the trade accounts receivable as at June 30, 2020 is $392,800 (as at June 30, 2019: $546,381). As at June 30, 2020, the Company had $184,288 (as at June 30, 2019: $298,724) of trade accounts receivable that were overdue according to the customers' credit terms. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 the Company wrote down $nil and $nil, respectively, of accounts receivable owed by customers (three and six months ended June 30, 2019: $nil and $64,600, respectively).

The Company may also have credit risk related to its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, with a maximum exposure of $11,888,886 as at June 30, 2020 (as at December 31, 2019: $5,755,707). The Company minimizes its risk to cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash by maintaining the majority of its balances with Canadian Chartered Banks.

16. DERIVATIVE WARRANT LIABILITY FROM FINANCING AND CONVERTIBLE NOTE

(a) Derivative Warrant Liability from Financing

On November 17, 2017, Neovasc completed an underwritten public offering (the "2017 Public Transaction") of 6,609,588 Series A units (the "Series A Units") and 19,066,780 Series B units (the "Series B Units") of the Company, at a price of $1.46 per Unit for gross proceeds of $37,487,497 before deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering costs.

Each Series A Unit was comprised of:

(i) 0.001 Common Share

(ii) one Series A Common Share purchase warrant of the Company exercisable for 0.001 Common Shares at an exercise price of $1,610 per Series A Warrant Share for a period of five years following issuance (each, a "Series A Warrant"),

(iii) one Series B Common Share purchase warrant of the Company exercisable for 0.001 Common Shares at an exercise price of $1,610 per Series B Warrant Share for a period of two years following issuance (each, a "Series B Warrant"); and

(iv) 0.40 Series C Warrant of the Company to purchase a unit at an exercise price of $1.46 per unit for a period of two years following issuance (each, a "Series C Unit") comprised of 0.001 Common Shares, one Series A Warrant and one Series B Warrant.

Each Series B Unit was comprised of:

(i) either 0.001 Common Shares or one Series D Common Share purchase warrant of the Company exercisable for 0.001 Common Shares (each, a "Series D Warrant") at an exercise price of $1,460 per Series D Warrant Share, all of which were be pre-funded except for a nominal exercise price of $0.001 per Series D Warrant Share for a period of five years following issuance,

(ii) one Series A Warrant,

(iii) one Series B Warrant,

(iv) 0.40 Series C Warrant, and

(v) 1.1765 Series F Common Share purchase warrant of the Company with each warrant exercisable for 0.001 Common Shares at an exercise price of $1,610 per Series F Warrant Share for a period of two years following issuance (each, a "Series F Warrant").

15,493 Common Shares and 3,573,830 Series D Warrants were issued as part of the Series B Unit.  Since initial issuance and during the period up to December 31, 2018, all of the 3,573,830 Series D Warrants were exercised for gross proceeds of $35,738 and 3,573 Common Shares were issued from treasury.  All the warrants (collectively, the "2017 Warrants") issued pursuant to the 2017 Public Transaction and the 2017 Private Placement (as defined below) included various price adjustment clauses, some of which caused the number of shares to be issued upon exercise to be variable, and therefore do not meet the fixed for fixed test under IAS 32 - Financial instruments; presentation.  Accordingly, the warrants have been accounted for as derivative financial liabilities and measured at fair value through profit and loss ("FVTPL").  The fair values of the warrants were calculated using a binomial option pricing model and have been classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

The total fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the Public Transaction, together with the Series E Warrants (as defined below) issued in connection with the Private Transaction (as defined below), was $89,470,273 which exceeded the transaction price giving rise to a loss of $45,132,259.  Since the fair values of the derivatives were not determined using a valuation that only used data from observable markets, the loss on initial recognition has been recognized in income over the expected term of the instruments on a straight-line basis depending on the term of the warrants.

(b) 2017 Convertible Notes

On November 17, 2017, the Company also completed a brokered private placement (the "2017 Private Placement" and together with the Public Transaction the "2017 Financings") for the sale of $32,750,000 aggregate principal amount of senior secured convertible notes of the Company (the "2017 Notes") and Series E warrants (the "Series E Warrants") to purchase one Common Share per Series E Warrant for gross proceeds of $27,837,500.

The 2017 Notes were issued with an original issue price of $850 per $1,000 principal amount of note.  The 2017 Notes have an 18-month term and carry an interest rate of 0.0% per annum (increasing to 15% upon an event of default) from the closing date of the Private Transaction ("Private Transaction"). On September 12, 2018, the Company and the holders of 2017 Notes amended certain terms of the 2017 Notes, including a one-year extension of the maturity date of the 2017 Notes from May 17, 2019 until May 17, 2020 and certain other amendments. Upon any event of a default, the interest rate applicable to the 2017 Notes would automatically be increased to 15% per annum.  Interest on the 2017 Notes, as applicable, will commence accruing on the date of issue, will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and twelve 30-day months and became payable in cash on January 1, 2018 and on the first day of each calendar quarter thereafter up to, and including, the maturity date.

16. DERIVATIVE WARRANT LIABILITY FROM FINANCING AND CONVERTIBLE NOTES (continued)

(b) 2017 Convertible Notes (continued)

The conversion option contained within the 2017 Notes contains similar price adjustment characteristics to certain of the warrants, which precludes the 2017 Notes from being recognized within equity.  The 2017 Notes contain a future-priced conversion mechanism that allows the holder of a 2017 Notes to replace the conversion price then in effect with a price (the "Alternate Conversion Price") that is 85% of the lowest volume weighted average price ("VWAP") of the Common Shares during the ten consecutive trading day period ending and including the date of delivery of the applicable conversion notice.  The 2017 Notes are also subject to full ratchet anti-dilution provisions in certain circumstances.

Accordingly, the Company has elected to measure the 2017 Notes at FVTPL.  The Series E Warrants are also classified as derivative financial liabilities and measured at FVTPL. The fair values of the warrants were calculated using a binomial option pricing model and have been classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the convertible debt was $26,100,900 which exceeded the transaction price giving rise to a loss of $5,113,917.  Since the fair value of the convertible debt is not determined using a valuation that only uses data from observable markets, the loss on initial recognition has been deferred and will be recognized in income over the expected term of the instrument. As at June 30, 2020 the loss on initial recognition has been fully amortized.

On May 26, 2020, the Company made a final payment of $2,897,000 to holders of the 2017 Notes and $1,016,000 in 2017 Notes was converted for the issuance of 500,014 Common Shares. The Company and certain holders of the 2017 Notes have also agreed to a mutual release (the "Settlement") in return for the issuance by the Company, in the aggregate, of 500,000 Settlement Warrants to such holders.

(c) 2019 Convertible Notes

On May 16, 2019, the Company completed a private placement of (i) 15% original issue discount convertible notes ("2019 Notes") with a face value of $11.5 million, for gross proceeds to the Company of $9,775,000, and (ii) 334,951 common shares of the Company at a price of $5.15 per Common Share, for gross proceeds to the Company of $1,725,000.

The 2019 Notes have the following key terms:

  • For the first year after the closing date, interest at a rate of 8% of which 5% is payable in cash on or about May 17, 2020 (when the existing 2017 Notes issued by the Company mature). The remainder is deferred and will be due on maturity of the 2019 Notes.
  • After the first year and until maturity, interest at a rate of 10% of which 7% is payable in cash at the end of May and November each year. The remainder is deferred and will be due on maturity of the 2019 Notes.
  • The 2019 Notes were issued at an original discount of $1.725 million. A separate subscription for common shares of the Company by the holder of the 2019 Notes was made for this amount (at market price) concurrent with the issuance of the 2019 Notes.
  • The Company has a prepayment option whereby it may voluntarily prepay the 2019 Notes prior to maturity. Prepayment penalties of 3% (if prepaid prior to the 1st anniversary of issuance), 2% (if prepaid between the 1st and 2nd anniversaries of issuance) and 1% (if prepaid after the 2nd anniversary) apply.
  • The 2019 Notes are convertible into common shares of the Company at the option of the holder (however, the holder may not own > 19.99% of the total outstanding common shares of the Company as a result of the conversion). The conversion price fluctuates from $7.50 per common share (prior to the 2nd anniversary of issuance) to $8.50 between the 2nd and 3rd anniversaries of issuance to $9.70 after the 3rd anniversary of issuance. The conversion price would also be altered subject to certain anti-dilution provisions.

Accordingly, the 2019 Notes contain two embedded derivatives: the conversion option and the prepayment option. Accordingly, the Company has elected to measure the 2019 Notes at FVTPL. The fair values of the 2019 Notes were calculated using the Cox Ross Rubinstein binomial tree model and have been classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

16. DERIVATIVE WARRANT LIABILITY FROM FINANCING AND CONVERTIBLE NOTES (continued)

(d)  2020 Convertible Notes

On May 28, 2020, the Company issued senior secured convertible notes ("2020 Notes") with a principal amount of $5

million, convertible at $2.815 per Common Share for 1,776,041 Common Shares and 2,573,959 Warrants ("2020 Warrants")

exercisable at $2.634 per 2020 Warrant share with a 4-year term.

The 2020 Notes have the following key terms:

  • The 2020 Notes will bear interest at the rate of 8% computed on the basis of a 360-day year and twelve 30-day months and shall be payable in additional 2020 Notes on the date that is six-months after issuance and on each six-month period thereafter up to, and including, the maturity date.
  • The 2020 Notes will have a maturity date of 48 months after issuance with the holder's option for early redemption at 24 months.
  • Change of control redemption option with option premia of 125% in the first year, 115% in the second year, 105% in the third year, and 100% thereafter
  • The 2020 Notes are convertible into common shares of the Company at the option of the holder (however, the holder may not own greater than 9.99% of the total outstanding common shares of the Company as a result of the conversion).
  • Conversion option caused the number of shares to be issued upon exercise to be variable, and therefore do not meet the fixed of fixed test under IAS 32- Financial instruments- presentation

Accordingly, the 2020 Notes contain three embedded derivatives: change in control redemption option, the early redemption option and the conversion option but will not be separated from the host debt instrument and the entire hybrid contract will be designated as at fair value through profit or loss. The fair values of the 2020 Notes were calculated using the Cox Ross Rubinstein binomial tree model and have been classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the convertible debt was $6,449,634 which exceeded the transaction price giving rise to a loss of $3,511,670.  Since the fair value of the convertible debt is not determined using a valuation that only uses data from observable markets, the loss on initial recognition has been deferred and will be recognized in income over the expected term of the instrument.

(e)    Warrants and Convertible Notes Model

The 2017 Warrants were accounted for based on the level 3 fair value estimate of Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants, Series C Warrants, Series D Warrants, Series E Warrants and Series F Warrants by using a binomial option pricing model.

The 2017 Notes were accounted for based on the level 3 fair value estimate of the notes based on a binomial tree model.

(c)  Restricted share units

On December 2, 2019, the Company adopted a Restricted Share Unit ("RSU") Plan which provides for RSUs to be awarded to directors, officers, employees and service providers. The maximum number of Common Shares authorized and reserved for issuance under the RSU Plan is equal to 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company. The shareholders of the Company are set to approve the amended RSU Plan at the next annual meeting of the shareholders, which falls within 12 months of the effective date of the RSU Plan.

The granting of RSUs is considered an equity-settled share-based payment transaction. The fair value of the grant was determined by multiplying the Company's share price at the grant date by the number of RSUs granted and is recognized over the vesting period of the grant. Expense recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $219,830 and $365,320. As of June 30, 2020, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs amounted to approximately $1,653,413, which will be amortized over the remaining vesting periods.

RSU transactions are summarized as follows:

    Number of RSUs     Weighted

On September 18, 2018, the Company effected a share consolidation (reverse stock split in the ratio of 1 for 100 Common Shares outstanding) of the Common Shares on the basis of one post-consolidation Common Shares for every 100 pre-consolidation Common Shares. On June 25, 2019, the Company effected a share consolidation (reverse stock split) of its issued and outstanding Common Shares the basis of one post-consolidation Common Share for every ten pre-consolidation Common Shares.  The number of 2017 Warrants and aggregate principal amount of 2017 Notes were not affected by the consolidations, but the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the 2017 Warrants or conversion of the 2017 Notes was adjusted proportionally to the share consolidation ratios.

The September 2018 share consolidation adjusted the notional exercise price of the Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants and Series E Warrants. There were no Series D Warrants and Series F Warrants outstanding at the date of the September 2018 share consolidation. There were no 2017 Warrants outstanding at the time of the June 2019 share consolidation.

On March 12, 2019, the Company entered into exchange agreements with the holders of all of its outstanding Series A Warrants and Series E Warrants, pursuant to which the Company issued an aggregate of 49,624 Common Shares for the surrender and cancellation of all of the Series A Warrants and Series E Warrants outstanding, on the basis of 0.085 of a Common Share for each Series A Warrant or Series E Warrant (the "Exchange"). Following completion of the Exchange, there are no longer any warrants outstanding from the 2017 Financings. Under IFRIC 19, the surrender and cancellation of Series A warrants and Series E warrants created a loss on extinguishment of $39,367 and $24,565, respectively.

(d)  Warrants (continued)

On May 26, 2020 the Company entered into a settlement agreement to issue 500,000 settlement warrants ("Settlement Warrants"). Each Settlement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share in the capital of the Company at an exercise price of $2.634 per Settlement Warrant for a period of 4 years following issuance and are subject to transfer/leak-out restrictions, including volume and public float restrictions. The Settlement Warrants include a cashless exercise option. In accordance with IAS 32 - Financial instruments; presentation, the Settlement Warrants have been accounted for as derivative financial liabilities and measured at FVTPL. The fair values of the Settlement Warrants were calculated using the Cox Ross Rubinstein binomial tree model and have been classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

On May 28, 2020, the Company granted 2,573,959 2020 warrants with an exercise price of $2.634 and term of 4 years. The 2020 Warrants are convertible into common shares of the Company at the option of the holder (however, the holder may not own greater than 9.99% of the total outstanding common shares of the Company as a result of the conversion). The 2020 Warrants include a cashless exercise option. In accordance with IAS 32 - Financial instruments; presentation, the 2020 warrants have been accounted for as derivative financial liabilities and measured at FVTPL.  The fair values of the warrants were calculated using a binomial option pricing model and have been classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

(e) Broker Warrants

In February and March of 2019, the Company completed two $5 million underwritten public offerings and issued 144,444 broker warrants ("Broker Warrants") as part of the underwriter's commission.  The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value of the Broker Warrants. The model requires six key inputs: risk free interest rate, exercise price, market price at date of issue, expected dividend yield, expected life and expected volatility, all of which, other than the exercise price and market price, are estimates by management of the Company. The fair value for the February 28, 2019 $5 million public offering and 72,222 broker warrants was computed using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: a) average risk-free interest rate of 2.51%; b) expected life of 3 years; c) the price of the stock on the grant date of $4.50; d) expected volatility of 81%; and e) no expected dividend payments. The fair value for the March 15, 2019 $5 million public offering and 72,222 broker warrants was computed using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: a) average risk-free interest rate of 2.43%; b) expected life of 3 years; c) the price of the stock on the grant date of $4.50; d) expected volatility of 82%; and e) no expected dividend payments. The Black-Scholes model was used to compute broker warrant fair values because it is the most commonly used pricing model and is considered to produce a reasonable estimate of fair value.

As part of the underwriter's compensation in the January 2020 Financing, the Company issued the 2020 Broker Warrants to purchase up to 157,721 Common Shares at an exercise price of $5.1689 per Common Share for a period of three years following issuance. The fair value of $443,277 for the 2020 broker warrants was computed using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: a) average risk-free interest rate of 1.60%; b) expected life of 4 years; c) the price of the stock on the grant date of $3.47; d) expected volatility of 140%; and e) no expected dividend payments.

On June 16, 2020, the Company issued the 2020 Compensation Warrants to purchase up to 252,397 Common Shares at an exercise price of $3.71 per Common Share for a period of five years following issuance. The fair value of $505,268 for the 2020 compensation warrants was computed using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: a) average risk-free interest rate of 1.27%; b) expected life of 5 years; c) the price of the stock on the grant date of $2.47; d) expected volatility of 125.6%; and e) no expected dividend payments

23.   CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND PROVISIONS

Litigation

Litigation resulting from third party claims has been, and may be, costly and time-consuming and could divert the attention of management and key personnel from our business operations. Although we intend to vigorously defend ourselves against any future claims that may occur, we cannot assure that we will succeed in appealing and defending any of these claims and that judgments will not be upheld against us. If we are unsuccessful in our appeal and defense of these claims or unable to settle the claims in a manner satisfactory to us, we may be faced with significant loss of intellectual property rights that could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its financial condition.

Claims by CardiAQ in Germany

On June 23, 2014, Edwards Lifesciences CardiAQ LLC ("CardiAQ") filed a complaint against Neovasc in Munich, Germany (the "German Court") requesting that Neovasc assign its right to one of its European patent applications to CardiAQ. After a hearing held on December 14, 2016, the German Court rendered its decision on June 16, 2017, granting co-ownership of the European patent application to CardiAQ but denying their claim for full entitlement. On July 14, 2017, Neovasc filed a notice of appeal against the German Court's decision with the Appeals Court of Munich (the 'Appeals Court'). On July 20, 2017, CardiAQ filed a notice of appeal with the same court. The decision of the Appeals Court of Munich was rendered on March 21, 2019, wherein it amended the decision of the German Court and dismissed the complaint of CardiAQ in full. There are no monetary awards associated with these matters and no damages award was recognized. On March 30, 2020, the German Supreme Court granted CardiAQ leave to appeal the Appeals Court decision and at a hearing held on August 4, 2020 the German Supreme Court set aside the prior decision of the Appeals Court and remanded the matter back to the Appeals Court for a new hearing and decision.

Claims by CardiAQ in the United States

On March 24, 2017, CardiAQ filed a related lawsuit in the in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts (the "Court"), asserting two claims for correction of patent inventorship as to Neovasc's U.S. Patents Nos. 9,241,790 and 9,248,014. On October 4, 2017, CardiAQ amended its pleading to add a third claim for correction of patent inventorship as to Neovasc's U.S. Patent No. 9,770,329. The lawsuit did not seek money damages and would not have prevented the Company from practicing these patents. The Company moved to dismiss the complaint on November 16, 2017, and the Court denied this motion on September 28, 2018.  On April 17, 2019, the Company resolved the three claims for correction of patent inventorship and, without reaching conclusion on the merits of the claims, the parties agreed to the correction of patent inventorship and added co-inventors to the three patents in question. Each party will bear its own costs. There were no monetary awards associated with these matters and no damages award was recognized.

Other Matters

By way of Amended Statement of Claim in Federal Court of Canada Action T-1831-16 (the "Action"), Neovasc Inc. and Neovasc Tiara Inc. (the "Neovasc Defendants") were added as defendants to an existing action commenced by Edwards Lifesciences PVT, Inc. and Edwards Lifesciences (Canada) Inc. (collectively the "Edwards Plaintiffs") against Livanova Canada Corp., Livanova PLC, Boston Scientific and Boston Scientific Ltd. (collectively, the "BSC/Livanova Defendants"). The Action was first filed in October 2016 and first concerned an allegation by the Edwards Plaintiffs that the manufacturing, assembly, use, sale and export of the Lotus Aortic Valve devices by the BSC/Livanova Defendants infringes on the Edwards Plaintiffs' patents. In February 2017, the Neovasc Defendants were added to the Edwards Plaintiffs' claim making related allegations.  On January 22, 2019, the Company announced that pursuant to a settlement reached with the Edwards Plaintiffs, the patent infringement action that the Edwards Plaintiffs had previously commenced in the Federal Court of Canada against the Neovasc Defendants, Boston Scientific and Livanova, has been dismissed on a no-costs basis.  No damages award was recognized.

On August 3, 2018, the Company announced that it had entered into a collaboration and licensing agreement with Penn Medicine and the Gorman Cardiovascular Research Group at the University of Pennsylvania (collectively, "UPenn"), which resolved certain potential claims against the Company that had been previously disclosed. The collaboration and licensing agreement with UPenn contemplates certain fees being paid by Neovasc to UPenn, including fees in installments totaling $2.65 million over the four years following the agreement's execution. In addition, Neovasc agreed to pay UPenn a royalty of 1.0-1.5% on the annual net sales of the Tiara following the first commercial sale of the Tiara. Also contained in the collaboration and licensing agreement are buy-out clauses that allow Neovasc, or an acquirer of Neovasc or the Tiara assets, to buy out these royalty obligations. As part of the collaboration and licensing agreement, certain potential claims against the Neovasc Defendants were resolved.

Other Matters (continued)

When the Company assesses that it is more likely that a present obligation exists at the end of the reporting period and that the possibility of an outflow of economic resources embodying economic benefits is probable, a provision is recognized and contingent liability disclosure is required.

(collectively, "Endovalve") filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against the Neovasc Defendants, alleging claims for trade secret misappropriation, breach of contract, and unfair competition. Endovalve alleged that it was a former customer of Neovasc Inc., and that the Neovasc Defendants improperly used trade secrets in the development of Tiara. The complaint sought injunctive relief, money damages, and attorneys' fees. On February 20, 2019, the Company announced that it had entered into a settlement agreement with Endovalve. The settlement agreement with Endovalve contemplates certain fees being paid by Neovasc to Endovalve, including settlement fees in installments totaling $3 million over the two and a half years following the agreement's execution. In addition, Neovasc agreed to pay Endovalve a royalty of 1.3% on the annual net sales of the Tiara following the first commercial sale of the Tiara. Also contained in the settlement agreement are buy-out clauses that allow Neovasc, or an acquirer of Neovasc or the Tiara assets, to buy out these royalty obligations. As part of the settlement agreement, the claims against the Neovasc Defendants were dismissed with prejudice.

When the Company assesses that it is more likely that a present obligation exists at the end of the reporting period and that the possibility of an outflow of economic resources embodying economic benefits is probable, a provision is recognized and contingent liability disclosure is required. The Company has accrued $1,433,357 as at June 30, 2020 representing the discounted value of future payments anticipated under the settlement agreement with Endovalve. The Company has not accrued for any future royalty payments in the settlement agreement with Endovalve as the amounts are undeterminable at this time.
