Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN

MetaStat, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company,” or “MetaStat”) is a pre-commercial biotechnology company focused on discovering and developing personalized therapeutic (Rx) and diagnostic (Dx) treatment solutions for cancer patients. Our Mena isoform “driver-based” diagnostic biomarkers also serve as novel therapeutic targets for anti-metastatic drugs. MetaStat is developing therapeutic product candidates and paired companion diagnostics based on a novel approach that makes the Mena isoform protein a drugable target. Our core expertise includes an understanding of the mechanisms and pathways that drive tumor cell invasion and metastasis, as well as drug resistance to certain targeted therapies and cytotoxic chemotherapies. MetaStat’s head office, research laboratories, and state-of-the-art CLIA-certified diagnostic laboratory are located in Boston, MA. The Company was incorporated on March 28, 2007 under the laws of the State of Nevada.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, MetaStat Biomedical, Inc., a Delaware corporation and all significant intercompany balances have been eliminated by consolidation.

These interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended February 28, 2017, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 30, 2017. These unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of May 31, 2017 and its results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented and are not necessarily indicative of results for subsequent interim periods or for the full year. These interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and allowed by the relevant SEC rules and regulations; however, the Company believes that its disclosures are adequate to ensure that the information presented is not misleading.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception.  The Company has sustained cumulative losses of approximately $26.6 million as of May 31, 2017, has negative working capital and has not generated positive cash flows from operations. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity and/or debt financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company cannot make any assurances that additional financings will be available to it and, if available, completed on a timely basis, on acceptable terms or at all. If the Company is unable to complete a debt or equity offering, or otherwise obtain sufficient financing when and if needed, it would negatively impact its business and operations and could also lead to the reduction or suspension of the Company’s operations and ultimately force the Company to cease operations. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Subsequent to May 31, 2017, the Company completed a private placement for gross proceeds of approximately $2.14 million (See Note 12).

NOTE 2 – CAPITAL STOCK

The Company has authorized 160,000,000 shares of capital stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of which 150,000,000 are shares of common stock and 10,000,000 are shares of “blank-check” preferred stock.

Our board of directors (the “Board”) is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights, which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock. The preferred stock could be utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company.

Common Stock

The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share. In addition, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by our Board out of legally available funds; however, the current policy of our Board is to retain earnings, if any, for operations and growth. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to share ratably in all assets that are legally available for distribution.

-5-

Conversion Restrictions

The holders of the Series A-2 Preferred may not convert their shares of Series A-2 Preferred into shares of common stock if the resulting conversion would cause such holder and its affiliates to beneficially own (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and the rules thereunder) in excess of 4.99% or 9.99% of the common stock outstanding, when aggregated with all other shares of common stock owned by such holder and its affiliates at such time; provided, however, that such holder may elect to waive these conversion restrictions.

Voting Rights

The Series A-2 Preferred has no voting rights. The common stock into which the Series A-2 Preferred is convertible shall, upon issuance, have all of the same voting rights as other issued and outstanding common stock, and none of the rights of the Series A-2 Preferred.

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation of Rights and Preferences of the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock” or “Series B Preferred”), the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock are as follows:

Ranking

The Series B Preferred Stock will rank senior to our Series A Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock and common stock with respect to distributions of assets upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.

Stated Value

Each shares of Series B Preferred Stock will have a stated value of $5,500, subject to adjustment for stock splits, combinations and similar events (the “Stated Value”).

Dividends

Cumulative dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock accrue at the rate of 8% of the Stated Value per annum, payable quarterly on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 of each year, from and after the date of the initial issuance.  Dividends are payable in kind in additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock valued at the Stated Value or in cash at the sole option of the Company. At May 31, 2017 and February 28, 2017, the dividends payable to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock amounted to approximately $16,000 and $16,000, respectively. During the three months ended May 31, 2017 and May 31, 2016, the Company issued 4.2648 and 13.1771 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, respectively, for payment of dividends amounting to approximately $23,000 and $72,000, respectively.

Liquidation Rights

If the Company voluntarily or involuntarily liquidates, dissolves or winds up its affairs, each holder of the Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive out of the Company’s assets available for distribution to stockholders, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors, if any, but before any distribution of assets is made on the Series A Preferred Stock or common stock or any of the Company’s shares of stock ranking junior as to such a distribution to the Series B Preferred Stock, a liquidating distribution in the amount of the Stated Value of all such holder’s Series B Preferred Stock plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. At May 31, 2017 and February 28, 2017, the value of the liquidation preference of the Series B Preferred Stock aggregated to approximately $1.2 million and $1.19 million, respectively.

Conversion; Anti-Dilution Adjustments

Each share of Series B Preferred Stock will be convertible at the holder’s option into common stock in an amount equal to the Stated Value plus accrued and unpaid dividends thereon through the conversion date divided by the then applicable conversion price. The initial conversion price was $8.25 per share (the “Series B Conversion Price”) and is subject to customary adjustments for issuances of shares of common stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of common stock, or mergers or reorganizations, as well as “full ratchet” anti-dilution adjustments for future issuances of other Company securities (subject to certain standard carve-outs) at prices less than the applicable Series B Conversion Price.

The issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the 2016 Unit Private Placement (as defined in Note 3) triggered the full ratchet anti-dilution price protection provision of the Series B Preferred Stock. Accordingly, the Series B Conversion Price was adjusted from $8.25 to $2.00 per share.

The Series B Preferred Stock is subject to automatic conversion (the “Mandatory Conversion”) at such time when the Company’s common stock has been listed on a national stock exchange such as the NASDAQ, New York Stock Exchange or NYSE MKT; provided, that, on the Mandatory Conversion date, a registration statement providing for the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the Series B Preferred Stock is effective. In the event of a Mandatory Conversion, each share of Series B Preferred Stock will convert into the number of shares of common stock equal to the Stated Value plus accrued and unpaid dividends divided by the applicable Series B Conversion Price.

-6-

Voting Rights

The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which such Series B Preferred Stock could be converted for purposes of determining the shares entitled to vote at any regular, annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company, and shall have voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the common stock (voting together with the common stock as a single class).

Most Favored Nation

For a period of up to 30 months after March 31, 2015, if the Company issues any New Securities (as defined below) in a private placement or public offering (a “Subsequent Financing”), the holders of Series B Preferred Stock may exchange all of the Series B Preferred Stock at their Stated Value plus all Series A Warrants (as defined below) issued to the Series B Preferred Stock holders for the securities issued in the Subsequent Financing on the same terms of such Subsequent Financing.  This right expires upon the earlier of (i) September 30, 2017 and (ii) the consummation of a bona fide underwritten public offering in which the Company receives aggregate gross proceeds of at least $5,000,000. “New Securities” means shares of the common stock, any other securities, options, warrants or other rights where upon exercise or conversion the purchaser or recipient receives shares of the common stock, or other securities with similar rights to the common stock, subject to certain standard carve-outs.

NOTE 3 – EQUITY ISSUANCES

Common stock financing – the 2016 Unit Private Placement

During the three months ended May 31, 2016, the Company entered into a subscription agreement pursuant to a private placement (the “2016 Unit Private Placement”) with a number of accredited investors pursuant to which the Company issued an aggregate of 20 units consisting of an aggregate of 100,000 shares of common stock and five-year warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $3.00 per share (the “Warrants”) for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000. After deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses, including legal expenses, net proceeds amounted to approximately $126,000. Additionally, the Company issued an aggregate of 10,000 placement agent warrants in substantially the same form as the Warrants.

Registration Rights Agreement

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into by the parties, the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC providing for the resale of the shares of common stock and the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants issued pursuant to the 2016 Unit Private Placement on or before the date which is forty-five (45) days after the date of the final closing of the 2016 Unit Private Placement.  The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective within one hundred fifty (150) days from the filing date. The Company has received a waiver from a majority of the 2016 Unit Private Placement investors extending the filing date of the registration statement to no later than December 15, 2016. The Company filed the Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the SEC on December 14, 2016, which was declared effective by the SEC on January 5, 2017.

Deemed Dividend due to Conversion Price Adjustment

During the three months ended May 31, 2016, as a result of the adjustment of the Series B Conversion Price from $8.25 to $2.00 per share due to the 2016 Unit Private Placement, the Company recorded a non-cash deemed dividend, amounting to approximately $708,000. The expense was measured at the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature for each issuance of Series B Preferred Stock in the Series B Preferred private placement and was limited to the amount of Series B Preferred Stock allocated proceeds less previously recognized beneficial conversion features.

Issuances of common stock for services

During the three months ended May 31, 2016, the Company issued an aggregate of 25,000 shares of common stock to a consultant for services that vested over a two-month term and to settle $32,000 of accounts payable. The fair value of the shares amounted to approximately $46,000 on the grant date, of which approximately $14,000 was recognized into general and administrative expense during the three months ended May 31, 2016.

During the three months ended May 31, 2017, the Company issued an aggregate of 100,000 shares of common stock to members of its Board that vested immediately.

During the three months ended May 31, 2017, the Company issued options to purchase an aggregate 55,000 shares of common stock at 3.00 per share to its President and Chief Executive Officer and a member of its management team.

NOTE 5 – WARRANTS

For the three months ended May 31, 2016, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 9,092 shares of common stock in connection with the issuance of the OID Notes pursuant to the March 2016 OID Note Purchase Agreements dated between March 3 and 15, 2016, referenced in Note 6. These warrants were initially exercisable at $8.25 per share and expire between March 3 and 15, 2021. These warrants vested immediately. These warrants contained an anti-dilution price protection provision, which required the warrants to be recorded as derivative warrant liability. Such clause will lapse upon completion of a Qualified Offering, as defined in the warrant agreement. These warrants were recorded as a debt discount based on their fair value.

For the three months ended May 31, 2016, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 50,000 shares of common stock in connection with the issuance of common stock pursuant to the 2016 Unit Private Placement referenced in Note 3. These warrants are exercisable at $3.00 per share and expire on May 26, 2021. These warrants vested immediately. These warrants do not contain any provision that would require liability treatment, therefore they were classified as equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

For the three months ended May 31, 2017, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 37,500 shares of common stock to a consultant for advisory services. These warrants are exercisable at $3.00 per share and expire between March 31, 2021 and May 31, 2021. These warrants vested immediately. The fair value of these warrants was determined to be approximately $37,000, as calculated using the Black-Scholes model. Average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model included: (1) a discount rate of 1.83%; (2) an expected term of 5.0 years; (3) an expected volatility of 131%; and (4) zero expected dividends. For the three months ended May 31, 2017, the Company recognized approximately $37,000 of stock-based compensation for these warrants.

For the three months ended May 31, 2017, the Company reclassified approximately $1.5 million of derivative warrant liability to equity in connection with the lapse of a price protection provision, that had resulted in these instruments being classified as a derivative warrant liability at issuance. The fair value of these warrants was determined to be approximately $1.5 million, as calculated using the Black-Scholes model. Average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model included: (1) a discount rate of 1.81%; (2) an expected term of 4.46 years; (3) an expected volatility of 124%; and (4) zero expected dividends

NOTE 6 – NOTES PAYABLE

Promissory Note

On July 31, 2015, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement, which was subsequently amended, whereby it issued and sold a non-convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $1.2 million (the “Promissory Note”) and a warrant to purchase 43,636 shares of the Company’s common stock. Effective October 21, 2016, $600,000 principal amount of the Promissory Note plus $48,000 of accrued and unpaid interest was exchanged into the securities issued in a private placement. In January 2017, the remaining unpaid principal balance and accrued interest were exchanged into a convertible note (see Convertible Note below).

During the three months ended May 31, 2016, the Company recognized approximately $138,000 of interest expense related to the Promissory Note, as amended, including amortization of debt discount of approximately $114,000 and accrued interest expense of $24,000. Additionally, the Company recognized a loss of approximately $29,000 in the three months ended May 31, 2016 due to the change in estimated fair value of a bifurcated derivative liability related to an exchange provision in the Promissory Note.

OID Notes

In February 2016, the Company entered into an OID note purchase agreement dated February 12, 2016 (the “February 2016 OID Note Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the February 2016 OID Note Purchase Agreement, the Company received an aggregate purchase price of $500,000 and issued OID promissory Notes (the “OID Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $600,000 and warrants (the “OID Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 36,367 shares of the Company’s common stock.

The Company entered into OID note purchase agreements between March 4 and 15, 2016 (the “March 2016 OID Note Purchase Agreements”) with various accredited investors. Pursuant to the March 2016 OID Note Purchase Agreements, the Company issued OID Notes with an aggregate purchase price of $125,000 and OID Warrants to purchase 9,902 shares of the Company’s common stock. The OID Notes issued in March 2016 have a principal amount equal to $150,000 or 120% of the purchase price.

Pursuant to the March 2016 closings of the OID Note private placement, the principal amount was first allocated to the fair value of the OID Warrants in the amount of approximately $15,000, next to the value of the original issuance discount in the amount of $25,000, then to the fair value of a bifurcated derivative liability related to an exchange provision in the OID Notes in the amount of approximately $33,000, and lastly to the debt discount related to offering costs of approximately $2,000 with the difference of approximately $75,000 representing the initial carrying value of the OID Notes issued in March 2016.

The OID Notes were subsequently amended in August 2016, extending the maturity date of the OID Notes in exchange for among other, (i) an increased principal amount of the OID Notes by 10% to $825,000 in the aggregate from $750,000 in the aggregate, and (ii) the issuance of an aggregate of 45,459 common stock purchase warrants with an exercise price of $2.00 per share and a term of five years.

In October 2016, $553,000 principal amount of OID Notes were exchanged into the securities issued in a private placement. Accordingly, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of approximately $555,000. Additionally, the Company repaid $8,000 of OID Notes.

-10-

In November 2016, the Company exercised its sole option to further extend the maturity date to its outstanding OID Note in the aggregate of $264,000 principal amount of OID Note. In consideration for the extension, the Company increased the principal amount of the OID Note by 10% or to $26,400 to $290,400 in the aggregate. In January 2017, the remaining outstanding OID Note was exchanged into a convertible note (see Convertible Note below).

During the three months ended May 31, 2016, the Company recognized approximately $166,000 of interest expense related to the OID Notes, including amortization of debt discount. Additionally, the Company recognized a loss of approximately $25,000 in the three months ended May 31, 2016 due to the change in estimated fair value of a bifurcated derivative liability related to an exchange provision in the OID Notes.

Convertible Note

On January 17, 2017, the Company entered into an exchange agreement, pursuant to which the Company issued a new convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $1,000,000 (the “Convertible Note”) in exchange (the “Debt Exchange”) for the cancellation of (i) $600,000 principal amount of the Promissory Note plus $96,000 of accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and (ii) $290,400 principal amount of the OID Note.

During the three months ended May 31, 2017, the Company recognized approximately $30,000 of interest expense related to the Convertible Note, including amortization of debt discount of approximately $5,000 and accrued interest expense of approximately $25,000.

The following table summarizes the notes payable:

	Convertible Note Payable	Discount	Voluntary Exchange Feature	Debt, Net
February 28, 2017 balance	$1,000,000	$(10,914)	$-	$989,086
Amortization of debt discount	-	4,599	-	4,599
May 31, 2017 balance	$1,000,000	$(6,315)	$-	$993,685

NOTE 7 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, financial instruments were measured at fair value using a three-level hierarchy which maximizes use of observable inputs and minimizes use of unobservable inputs:

● Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments

● Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments that are directly or indirectly observable in the market

● Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity.  Financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, for which determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. At May 31, 2017 and February 28, 2017, the warrant liability balances were classified as Level 3 instruments.

Derivative Warrant Liability

At May 31, 2017 and February 28, 2017, the warrant liability balances of approximately $0.15 million and $2.1 million, respectively, were classified as Level 3 instruments.

The following table sets forth the changes in the estimated fair value for our Level 3 classified derivative warrant liability:

	Promissory Note Warrants	Series B Warrant	PPM Warrants	Total
Fair value at February 28, 2017	$157,204	$35,690	$1,914,078	$2,106,972
Change in fair value	(37,366)	(10,198)	(442,816)	(490,380)
Reclassification of warrant liability to equity	-	-	(1,471,262)	(1,471,262)
Fair value at May 31, 2017	$119,838	$25,492	$-	$145,330

In connection with the initial closing of the Series B Preferred private placement on December 31, 2014, the Company issued a warrant to purchase an aggregate of 30,334 shares of common stock (the “Series B Warrant”), originally exercisable at $8.25 per share and expiring on March 31, 2020. The Series B Warrant contains a full-ratchet anti-dilution price protection provision that requires liability treatment and the exercise price of the Series B Warrant was adjusted to $2.00 during the year ended February 28, 2017. The fair value of the Series B Warrant at May 31, 2017 and February 28, 2017 was determined to be approximately $25,000 and $36,000, respectively, as calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation. The Monte Carlo simulation as of May 31, 2017 and February 28, 2017 used the following assumptions: (1) a stock price of $1.15 and $1.50, respectively; (2) a risk-free rate of 1.41% and 1.50%, respectively; (3) an expected volatility of 129% and 131%, respectively; and (4) a fundraising event to occur on June 30, 2017 and May 31, 2017, respectively, that would result in the issuance of additional common stock.

NOTE 10 – NET LOSS PER SHARE

Basic net loss per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Restricted shares issued with vesting conditions that have not been met at the end of the period are excluded from the computation of the weighted average shares. As of May 31, 2017, and May 31, 2016, 11,536 and 11,536, respectively, restricted shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of the weighted average shares.

Diluted net loss per common share is calculated giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period. Diluted potential common shares generally consist of incremental shares issuable upon exercise or conversion of stock options and warrants and shares issuable from convertible securities, as well as nonvested restricted shares.

-13-

In computing diluted loss per share for the years ended May 31, 2017 and May 31, 2016, no effect has been given to the common shares issuable at the end of the period upon the conversion or exercise of the following securities as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

	May 31, 2017	May 31, 2016
Stock options	981,475	526,976
Warrants	2,731,523	967,934

NOTE 11 – COLLABORATIVE AND OTHER RELATIONSHIPS

Research and Development Reimbursements

In connection with our business strategy, we may enter into research and development and other collaboration agreements. Depending on the arrangement, we may record payments as advances, funding receivables, payable balances or non-product income with our partners, based on the nature of the cost-sharing mechanism and activity within the collaboration.

On September 29, 2016, the Company entered into an amendment (the “MTA Amendment”) to a previously executed pilot materials transfer agreement (the “MTA” and together with the Amendment, the “Research Agreement”) with Celgene Corporation (“Celgene”), to conduct a mutually agreed upon pilot research project (the “Pilot Project”). The MTA Amendment provides for milestone payments to the Company of up to approximately $973,000. Under the terms of the Research Agreement, Celgene will provide certain proprietary materials to the Company and the Company will evaluate Celgene’s proprietary materials in the Company’s metastatic cell line and animal nonclinical models. The milestone schedule calls for Celgene to pay the Company approximately $487,000 upon execution of the MTA Amendment, which the Company has received, and the balance in accordance with the completion of three (3) milestones to Celgene’s reasonable satisfaction. The term of the Research Agreement is one (1) year, unless extended by the parties. Either party may terminate the Research Agreement with thirty (30) days prior written notice.

The Company recognizes the upfront payment as a deferred research and development reimbursement in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and will amortize the deferred research and development reimbursement as incurred over the term of the Research Agreement. For the three months ended May 31, 2017, the Company recorded approximately $133,000 in deferred research and development reimbursement, and, at May 31, 2017, the Company had a deferred research and development reimbursement amount of approximately $65,000.

The Company will recognize deferred research and development reimbursement for each subsequent milestone in the period in which the milestone is achieved. As of May 31, 2017, none of the milestones have been achieved.

Research Collaboration Revenue

We currently do not sell any products and do not have any product-related revenue. From time to time, we may enter into research and development collaboration arrangements, in which we are reimbursed for either all or a portion of the research and development costs incurred. We record these payments as revenue in the statement of operations. We recognize revenue upon delivery and acceptance of the test results or other deliverables.

NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Celgene Research Agreement

On June 16, 2017, the Company received payment of approximately $243,000 from Celgene for satisfactory completion of the second milestone pursuant to the Research Agreement between the parties.

Forward-Looking Statements

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this interim report. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our consolidated financial statements and the financial data included in this interim report reflect our reorganization and have been prepared as if our current corporate structure had been in place throughout the relevant periods. The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), including, without limitation, statements regarding our expectations, beliefs, intentions or future strategies that are signified by the words “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” or similar language. All forward-looking statements included in this document are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. Our business and financial performance are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. In evaluating our business, you should carefully consider the information set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2017. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto and other financial information appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2017.

Business Overview

We are a pre-commercial biotechnology company focused on discovering and developing personalized therapeutic (Rx) and diagnostic (Dx) treatment solutions for cancer patients. Our Mena isoform “driver-based” diagnostic biomarkers also serve as novel therapeutic targets for anti-metastatic drugs. MetaStat is developing therapeutic product candidates and paired companion diagnostics based on a novel approach that makes the Mena isoform protein a drugable target. Our core expertise includes an understanding of the mechanisms and pathways that drive tumor cell invasion and metastasis, as well as drug resistance to certain targeted therapies and cytotoxic chemotherapies

Going Concern

Since our inception, we have generated significant net losses. As of May 31, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $26.6 million. At May 31, 2017, we have negative working capital. We incurred net losses of approximately $0.28 million and approximately $1.22 million for the three months ended May 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We expect our net losses to continue for at least the next several years as we develop our pre-commercial product candidates. We anticipate that a substantial portion of our capital resources and efforts will be focused on research and development activities and other general corporate purposes.

Including the gross proceeds of approximately $2.14 million from our June 2017 private placement, we currently anticipate that our cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months, without raising additional capital. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon continued financial support from our shareholders, our ability to obtain necessary equity and/or debt financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. We cannot make any assurances that additional financings will be available to us and, if available, completed on a timely basis, on acceptable terms or at all. If we are unable to complete a debt or equity offering, or otherwise obtain sufficient financing when and if needed, it would negatively impact our business and operations and could also lead to the reduction or suspension of our operations and ultimately force us to cease our operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could therefore differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2017. We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our financial statements.

-15-

Stock-based Compensation

We account for share-based payment awards issued to employees and members of our Board by measuring the fair value of the award on the date of grant and recognizing this fair value as stock-based compensation using a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, generally the vesting period.  For awards issued to non-employees, the measurement date is the date when the performance is complete or when the award vests, whichever is the earliest. Accordingly, non-employee awards are remeasured at each reporting period until the final measurement date. The fair value of the award is recognized as stock-based compensation over the requisite service period, generally the vesting period.

Debt and Equity Instruments

We analyze debt and equity instruments for various features that would generally require either bifurcation and derivative accounting, or recognition of a debt discount or premium under authoritative guidance.

Detachable warrants issued in conjunction with debt are measured at their relative fair value, if they are determined to be equity instrument, or their fair value, if they are determined to be liability instruments, and recorded as a debt discount.

Conversion features that are in the money at the commitment date constitute a beneficial conversion feature that is measured at its intrinsic value and recognized as debt discount or deemed dividend. Debt discount is amortized as interest expense over the maturity period of the debt using the effective interest method.

Any contingent beneficial conversion feature would be recognized when and if the contingent event occurs based on its intrinsic value at the commitment date.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value

We account for certain warrants and exchange features embedded in notes payable that are not deemed to be indexed to the Company’s own stock in accordance with the guidance contained in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”) and ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity (“ASC 480”). Such instruments are classified as liabilities and measured at their fair values at the time of issuance and at each reporting period, which change in fair value being recognized in the statement of operations. The fair values of these instruments have been estimated using Monte Carlo simulations and other valuation techniques.

Research and Development Reimbursements

From time to time, we may enter into research and development agreements in which we share expenses or are reimbursed for research and development expenses with a collaborative partner. We analyze revenue recognition in connection with collaborative arrangements in accordance with the guidance contained ASC Topic 808, Collaborative Arrangements (“ASC 808”) and ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”). We record payments received from our collaborative partners as an offset to research and development expenses, which are discussed in Note 11, Collaborative and Other Relationships to these consolidated financial statements.

Research Collaboration Revenue

We currently do not sell any products and do not have any product-related revenue. From time to time, we may enter into research and development collaboration arrangements, in which we are reimbursed for either all or a portion of the research and development costs incurred. We record these payments as revenue in the statement of operations. We recognize revenue upon delivery and acceptance of the test results or other deliverables.

Financial Operations Overview

General and Administrative Expenses

Our general and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel and related costs, including stock-based compensation, legal fees relating to both intellectual property and corporate matters, accounting and audit related costs, insurance, corporate communications and investor relations expenses, information technology and internet related costs, office and facility rents and related expenses, and fees for consulting and other professional services.

We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future to support continued research, development and commercialization activities, including potential partnership and/or collaboration agreements, intellectual property and corporate legal expenses, and public company operating costs, including offering and related expenses in connection with a potential uplisting to a national stock exchange, SEC and exchange compliance, insurance, and investor relations and corporate communication costs. These increases will likely also include increased costs related to facilities and information technology expansion, the hiring of additional personnel and increased fees to outside consultants, lawyers and accountants, among other expenses.

-16-

Research and Development Expenses

Historically, the majority of research and development expenses were focused on our prognostic diagnostic tests for breast cancer, including the MetaSite Breast™ and MenaCalc™ tests. We have initiated research and development activities focused on our MenaINV and related driver-based biomarkers, which support our integrated Rx/Dx product development strategy focused on anti-metastatic therapeutics and companion diagnostics. Research and development activities are central to our business model and we expect future research and development expenses to be focused on our MenaINV and related biomarkers in support of our integrated Rx/Dx product development strategy.

We charge all research and development expenses to operations as they are incurred. Any nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services to be received in the future for use in research and development activities will be deferred and capitalized. Such capitalized amounts will be expensed as the related goods are delivered or the services are performed.

We do not record or maintain information regarding costs incurred in research and development on a program or project specific basis. Our research and development staff, outside consultants and contract research organizations are deployed across several programs and/or indications. Additionally, many of our costs are not attributable to individual programs and/or indications. Therefore, we believe that allocating costs on the basis of time incurred by our employees does not accurately reflect the actual costs of a project.

Our therapeutic and companion diagnostic product development programs are in early development stages. Since product candidates in later stages of development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of development, we expect research and development costs relating to therapeutic and companion diagnostic programs to increase significantly for the foreseeable future as those programs progress. We are unable to determine the duration and completion costs of our research and development programs or when, if ever, and to what extent we will receive cash inflows from the commercialization and sale of any product candidate.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three Months Ended May 31, 2017 andMay 31, 2016

Revenues.  Research collaboration revenue in connection with certain research and development activities was approximately $23,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2017. There were no revenues for the three months ended May 31, 2016.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expense was approximately $571,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2017 as compared to approximately $556,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2016. This represents an aggregate increase of approximately $15,000. Stock-based compensation was approximately $17,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2017 as compared to approximately $88,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2016. Excluding non-cash stock-based compensation expense and depreciation expense, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $88,000 to approximately $552,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2017 from approximately $464,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2016. 

Increased general and administrative spending was primarily due to increases in payroll and related costs including a bonus of approximately $57,000, consulting expense of approximately $22,000, corporate legal expenses of approximately $13,000, and rent of approximately $10,000. These increased general and administrative costs were partially offset by decreases related to intellectual property legal expenses of approximately $17,000, and investor relations and corporate communications costs of approximately $10,000. We expect general and administrative expenses to increase slightly for the remainder of the fiscal year ending February 28, 2018 with projected increases in rent and office related costs, consulting expenses, and professional fees related to intellectual property and patents, among others, as compared to the fiscal year ended February 28, 2017.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses decreased by approximately $82,000 to approximately $189,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2017 from approximately $271,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2016. Excluding non-cash stock-based compensation expense and depreciation expense, research and development expenses decreased by approximately $82,000 to approximately $152,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2017 from approximately $234,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2016.

Reduced research and development spending was primarily due to decreases in consulting expense of approximately $65,000 and payroll and related costs of approximately $26,000 partially offset by increases in laboratory and consumables of approximately $5,000 and rent and office related costs of approximately $3,000. We expect research and development expenses to increase for the remainder of this fiscal year ending February 28, 2018 as we conduct research and development activities based on our integrated Rx/Dx strategy and incur payroll and related expense for new employees and increased consulting expenses. Research and development expenses include approximately $113,000 of amortized deferred research and development reimbursement earned by us in connection with our collaborative arrangement as described in Note 11.

-17-

Other (Income) Expense. Other expense amounted to income of approximately $461,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2017, as compared to expense of approximately $393,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2016.  This represents a change of approximately $854,000. This change was due in part to an increase of approximately $525,000 in the change in fair value of the warrant liability, a decrease of approximately $275,000 due to the decrease in interest expense and a decrease of approximately $54,000 in the change in fair value of the put liability on the notes payable.

Net Loss. As a result of the factors described above, we had a net loss of approximately $0.28 million for the three months ended May 31, 2017 as compared to a net loss of approximately $1.22 million for the three months ended May 31, 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since our inception, we have incurred significant losses and, as of May 31, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $26.6 million. We have not yet achieved profitability and anticipate that we will continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future. We expect that our research and development, general and administrative and commercialization expenses will continue to grow and, as a result, we will need to generate significant product revenues to achieve profitability. We may never achieve profitability.

Sources of Liquidity

Since our inception, substantially all of our operations have been financed through the sale of our common stock, preferred stock, and promissory notes. Through May 31, 2017, we had received net proceeds of approximately $9.23 million through the sale of common stock to investors, approximately $0.26 million through the sale of Series A Preferred Stock to investors, approximately $3.39 million through the sale of Series B Preferred Stock to investors, approximately $3.46 million from the issuance of convertible promissory notes and approximately $1.82 million from the issuance of non-convertible promissory notes.  As of May 31, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $152,000 and debt of approximately $1.0 million. Through May 31, 2017, we had issued and outstanding warrants to purchase 2,731,523 shares of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $5.04 per share, which could result in proceeds to us of approximately $13.8 million if all outstanding warrants were exercised for cash. 

Subsequent to May 31, 2017, we completed an initial closing of a private placement of our common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $2.14 million. 

Cash Flows

At May 31, 2017, we had approximately $152,000 in cash and cash equivalents, compared to approximately $154,000 at May 31, 2016. 

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $0.63 million for the three months ended May 31, 2017, compared to approximately $0.42 million for the three months ended May 31, 2016. The increase in cash used of approximately $0.21 million was primarily due to increased operating expenses. We expect amounts used in operating activities to increase in fiscal year 2018 and beyond as we grow our corporate operations.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended May 31, 2017 was $0 compared to approximately $0.21 million for the three months ended May 31, 2016. Financing activities for the three months ended May 31, 2016 consisted primarily of proceeds from issuance of non-convertible OID promissory notes and warrants and common stock and warrants for the three months ended May 31, 2016 partially offset by the payment of short-term debt.

Operating Capital and Capital Expenditure Requirements

Including the gross proceeds of approximately $2.14 million from our June 2017 private placement, we currently anticipate that our cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months, without raising additional capital. We expect to continue to incur substantial operating losses in the future and to make capital expenditures to keep pace with the expansion of our research and development programs and to scale up our commercial operations, which we expect to fund in part with the proceeds of the recent financing activities. It may take several years to move any one of a number of product candidates in clinical research through the development and validation phases to commercialization. We expect that the remainder of the net proceeds and our existing cash and cash equivalents will be used to fund working capital and for capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes, such as licensing technology rights, partnering arrangements for the processing of tests outside the United States or reduction of contractual obligations. A portion of the net proceeds may also be used to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, technologies, services or products. We have no current plans, agreements or commitments with respect to any such acquisition or investment, and we are not currently engaged in any negotiations with respect to any such transaction.

-18-

The amount and timing of actual expenditures may vary significantly depending upon a number of factors, such as the progress of our product development, regulatory requirements, commercialization efforts, the amount of cash used by operations and progress in reimbursement. 

We cannot be certain that any of our future efforts to develop future products will be successful or that we will be able to raise sufficient additional funds to see these programs through to a successful result.

Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including the following:

●

the rate of progress and cost of research and development activities associated with our therapeutic and companion diagnostic product development strategy;

●

the rate of progress and cost of research and development activities associated with our prognostic diagnostic tests for breast and other cancers;

●

the rate of progress in establishing reimbursement arrangements with third-party payers;

●

the success of billing, and collecting receivables; and

●

the cost of expanding our commercial and laboratory operations, including our selling and marketing efforts.

Until we can generate a sufficient amount of revenues to finance our cash requirements, which we may never do, we expect to finance future cash needs primarily through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, borrowings or strategic collaborations. The issuance of equity securities may result in dilution to stockholders. We cannot make any assurances that additional financings will be completed on a timely basis, on acceptable terms or at all. If we are unable to complete a debt or equity offering, or otherwise obtain sufficient financing when and if needed, it would negatively impact our business and operations, which could cause the price of our common stock to decline. It could also lead to the reduction or suspension of our operations and ultimately force the Company to cease operations.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

Not applicable.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Finance, of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of May 31, 2017. Based upon that evaluation, management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Finance, concluded that the design and operation of disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management assessed the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2017.  In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013 Framework) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on its assessment using those criteria, management concluded that internal control over financial reporting was effective as of May 31, 2017.

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to obtain an attestation report from our registered public accounting firm regarding internal controls over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have had no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended May 31, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 1.  Legal Proceedings

None.

Item  1A. Risk Factors

If the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, its securities will have little or no value.

The report of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm that accompanies the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016 contains a going concern qualification in which such firm expressed substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. As of May 31, 2017, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $26.6 million. Including the gross proceeds of approximately $2.14 million from its June 2017 private placement, the Company currently anticipates that its cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to fund its operations for the next twelve months, without raising additional capital. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity and/or debt financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company cannot make any assurances that additional financings will be completed on a timely basis, on acceptable terms or at all. If the Company is unable to complete a debt or equity offering, or otherwise obtain sufficient financing when and if needed, it would negatively impact its business and operations, which could cause the price of its common stock to decline. It could also lead to the reduction or suspension of the Company’s operations and ultimately force the Company to go out of business.

Description Of Business And Going Concern

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN

MetaStat, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company,” or “MetaStat”) is a pre-commercial biotechnology company focused on discovering and developing personalized therapeutic (Rx) and diagnostic (Dx) treatment solutions for cancer patients. Our Mena isoform “driver-based” diagnostic biomarkers also serve as novel therapeutic targets for anti-metastatic drugs. MetaStat is developing therapeutic product candidates and paired companion diagnostics based on a novel approach that makes the Mena isoform protein a drugable target. Our core expertise includes an understanding of the mechanisms and pathways that drive tumor cell invasion and metastasis, as well as drug resistance to certain targeted therapies and cytotoxic chemotherapies. MetaStat’s head office, research laboratories, and state-of-the-art CLIA-certified diagnostic laboratory are located in Boston, MA. The Company was incorporated on March 28, 2007 under the laws of the State of Nevada.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, MetaStat Biomedical, Inc., a Delaware corporation and all significant intercompany balances have been eliminated by consolidation.

These interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended February 28, 2017, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 30, 2017. These unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of May 31, 2017 and its results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented and are not necessarily indicative of results for subsequent interim periods or for the full year. These interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and allowed by the relevant SEC rules and regulations; however, the Company believes that its disclosures are adequate to ensure that the information presented is not misleading.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception.  The Company has sustained cumulative losses of approximately $26.6 million as of May 31, 2017, has negative working capital and has not generated positive cash flows from operations. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity and/or debt financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company cannot make any assurances that additional financings will be available to it and, if available, completed on a timely basis, on acceptable terms or at all. If the Company is unable to complete a debt or equity offering, or otherwise obtain sufficient financing when and if needed, it would negatively impact its business and operations and could also lead to the reduction or suspension of the Company’s operations and ultimately force the Company to cease operations. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Subsequent to May 31, 2017, the Company completed a private placement for gross proceeds of approximately $2.14 million (See Note 12).

Equity [Abstract]

CAPITAL STOCK

The Company has authorized 160,000,000 shares of capital stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of which 150,000,000 are shares of common stock and 10,000,000 are shares of “blank-check” preferred stock.

Our board of directors (the “Board”) is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights, which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock.

Common Stock

The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share. In addition, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by our Board out of legally available funds; however, the current policy of our Board is to retain earnings, if any, for operations and growth. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to share ratably in all assets that are legally available for distribution.

Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation of Rights and Preferences of the Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A-2 Preferred Stock” or “Series A-2 Preferred”), the terms of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock are as follows:

Dividends

The Series A-2 Preferred is not entitled to any dividends.

Liquidation Rights

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Series A-2 Preferred shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company, whether such assets are capital or surplus, for each share of Series A-2 Preferred an amount of cash, securities or other property to which such holder would be entitled to receive with respect to each such share of Preferred Stock if such shares had been converted to common stock immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company.

Voluntary Conversion; Anti-Dilution Adjustments

Each share of Series A-2 Preferred shall, at any time, and from time to time, at the option of the holder, be convertible into ten (10) shares of common stock (the “Series A-2 Conversion Ratio”). The Series A-2 Conversion Ratio is subject to customary adjustments for issuances of shares of common stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of common stock, or mergers or reorganizations.

Conversion Restrictions

The holders of the Series A-2 Preferred may not convert their shares of Series A-2 Preferred into shares of common stock if the resulting conversion would cause such holder and its affiliates to beneficially own (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and the rules thereunder) in excess of 4.99% or 9.99% of the common stock outstanding, when aggregated with all other shares of common stock owned by such holder and its affiliates at such time; provided, however, that such holder may elect to waive these conversion restrictions.

Voting Rights

The Series A-2 Preferred has no voting rights. The common stock into which the Series A-2 Preferred is convertible shall, upon issuance, have all of the same voting rights as other issued and outstanding common stock, and none of the rights of the Series A-2 Preferred.

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation of Rights and Preferences of the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock” or “Series B Preferred”), the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock are as follows:

Ranking

Stated Value

Each shares of Series B Preferred Stock will have a stated value of $5,500, subject to adjustment for stock splits, combinations and similar events (the “Stated Value”).

Dividends

Cumulative dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock accrue at the rate of 8% of the Stated Value per annum, payable quarterly on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 of each year, from and after the date of the initial issuance.  Dividends are payable in kind in additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock valued at the Stated Value or in cash at the sole option of the Company. At May 31, 2017 and February 28, 2017, the dividends payable to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock amounted to approximately $16,000 and $16,000, respectively. During the three months ended May 31, 2017 and May 31, 2016, the Company issued 4.2648 and 13.1771 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, respectively, for payment of dividends amounting to approximately $23,000 and $72,000, respectively.

Liquidation Rights

If the Company voluntarily or involuntarily liquidates, dissolves or winds up its affairs, each holder of the Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive out of the Company’s assets available for distribution to stockholders, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors, if any, but before any distribution of assets is made on the Series A Preferred Stock or common stock or any of the Company’s shares of stock ranking junior as to such a distribution to the Series B Preferred Stock, a liquidating distribution in the amount of the Stated Value of all such holder’s Series B Preferred Stock plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. At May 31, 2017 and February 28, 2017, the value of the liquidation preference of the Series B Preferred Stock aggregated to approximately $1.2 million and $1.19 million, respectively.

Conversion; Anti-Dilution Adjustments

Each share of Series B Preferred Stock will be convertible at the holder’s option into common stock in an amount equal to the Stated Value plus accrued and unpaid dividends thereon through the conversion date divided by the then applicable conversion price. The initial conversion price was $8.25 per share (the “Series B Conversion Price”) and is subject to customary adjustments for issuances of shares of common stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of common stock, or mergers or reorganizations, as well as “full ratchet” anti-dilution adjustments for future issuances of other Company securities (subject to certain standard carve-outs) at prices less than the applicable Series B Conversion Price.

The issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the 2016 Unit Private Placement (as defined in Note 3) triggered the full ratchet anti-dilution price protection provision of the Series B Preferred Stock. Accordingly, the Series B Conversion Price was adjusted from $8.25 to $2.00 per share.

The Series B Preferred Stock is subject to automatic conversion (the “Mandatory Conversion”) at such time when the Company’s common stock has been listed on a national stock exchange such as the NASDAQ, New York Stock Exchange or NYSE MKT; provided, that, on the Mandatory Conversion date, a registration statement providing for the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the Series B Preferred Stock is effective. In the event of a Mandatory Conversion, each share of Series B Preferred Stock will convert into the number of shares of common stock equal to the Stated Value plus accrued and unpaid dividends divided by the applicable Series B Conversion Price.

Voting Rights

The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which such Series B Preferred Stock could be converted for purposes of determining the shares entitled to vote at any regular, annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company, and shall have voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the common stock (voting together with the common stock as a single class).

Most Favored Nation

For a period of up to 30 months after March 31, 2015, if the Company issues any New Securities (as defined below) in a private placement or public offering (a “Subsequent Financing”), the holders of Series B Preferred Stock may exchange all of the Series B Preferred Stock at their Stated Value plus all Series A Warrants (as defined below) issued to the Series B Preferred Stock holders for the securities issued in the Subsequent Financing on the same terms of such Subsequent Financing.  This right expires upon the earlier of (i) September 30, 2017 and (ii) the consummation of a bona fide underwritten public offering in which the Company receives aggregate gross proceeds of at least $5,000,000. “New Securities” means shares of the common stock, any other securities, options, warrants or other rights where upon exercise or conversion the purchaser or recipient receives shares of the common stock, or other securities with similar rights to the common stock, subject to certain standard carve-outs.

Equity [Abstract]

EQUITY ISSUANCES

Common stock financing – the 2016 Unit Private Placement

During the three months ended May 31, 2016, the Company entered into a subscription agreement pursuant to a private placement (the “2016 Unit Private Placement”) with a number of accredited investors pursuant to which the Company issued an aggregate of 20 units consisting of an aggregate of 100,000 shares of common stock and five-year warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $3.00 per share (the “Warrants”) for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000. After deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses, including legal expenses, net proceeds amounted to approximately $126,000. Additionally, the Company issued an aggregate of 10,000 placement agent warrants in substantially the same form as the Warrants.

Registration Rights Agreement

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into by the parties, the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC providing for the resale of the shares of common stock and the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants issued pursuant to the 2016 Unit Private Placement on or before the date which is forty-five (45) days after the date of the final closing of the 2016 Unit Private Placement.  The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective within one hundred fifty (150) days from the filing date. The Company has received a waiver from a majority of the 2016 Unit Private Placement investors extending the filing date of the registration statement to no later than December 15, 2016. The Company filed the Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the SEC on December 14, 2016, which was declared effective by the SEC on January 5, 2017.

Deemed Dividend due to Conversion Price Adjustment

During the three months ended May 31, 2016, as a result of the adjustment of the Series B Conversion Price from $8.25 to $2.00 per share due to the 2016 Unit Private Placement, the Company recorded a non-cash deemed dividend, amounting to approximately $708,000. The expense was measured at the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature for each issuance of Series B Preferred Stock in the Series B Preferred private placement and was limited to the amount of Series B Preferred Stock allocated proceeds less previously recognized beneficial conversion features.

WARRANTS

For the three months ended May 31, 2016, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 9,092 shares of common stock in connection with the issuance of the OID Notes pursuant to the March 2016 OID Note Purchase Agreements dated between March 3 and 15, 2016, referenced in Note 6. These warrants were initially exercisable at $8.25 per share and expire between March 3 and 15, 2021. These warrants vested immediately. These warrants contained an anti-dilution price protection provision, which required the warrants to be recorded as derivative warrant liability. Such clause will lapse upon completion of a Qualified Offering, as defined in the warrant agreement. These warrants were recorded as a debt discount based on their fair value.

For the three months ended May 31, 2016, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 50,000 shares of common stock in connection with the issuance of common stock pursuant to the 2016 Unit Private Placement referenced in Note 3. These warrants are exercisable at $3.00 per share and expire on May 26, 2021. These warrants vested immediately. These warrants do not contain any provision that would require liability treatment, therefore they were classified as equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

For the three months ended May 31, 2017, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 37,500 shares of common stock to a consultant for advisory services. These warrants are exercisable at $3.00 per share and expire between March 31, 2021 and May 31, 2021. These warrants vested immediately. The fair value of these warrants was determined to be approximately $37,000, as calculated using the Black-Scholes model. Average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model included: (1) a discount rate of 1.83%; (2) an expected term of 5.0 years; (3) an expected volatility of 131%; and (4) zero expected dividends. For the three months ended May 31, 2017, the Company recognized approximately $37,000 of stock-based compensation for these warrants.

For the three months ended May 31, 2017, the Company reclassified approximately $1.5 million of derivative warrant liability to equity in connection with the lapse of a price protection provision, that had resulted in these instruments being classified as a derivative warrant liability at issuance. The fair value of these warrants was determined to be approximately $1.5 million, as calculated using the Black-Scholes model. Average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model included: (1) a discount rate of 1.81%; (2) an expected term of 4.46 years; (3) an expected volatility of 124%; and (4) zero expected dividends

Note Payable

NOTE PAYABLE

Promissory Note

On July 31, 2015, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement, which was subsequently amended, whereby it issued and sold a non-convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $1.2 million (the “Promissory Note”) and a warrant to purchase 43,636 shares of the Company’s common stock. Effective October 21, 2016, $600,000 principal amount of the Promissory Note plus $48,000 of accrued and unpaid interest was exchanged into the securities issued in a private placement. In January 2017, the remaining unpaid principal balance and accrued interest were exchanged into a convertible note (see Convertible Note below).

During the three months ended May 31, 2016, the Company recognized approximately $138,000 of interest expense related to the Promissory Note, as amended, including amortization of debt discount of approximately $114,000 and accrued interest expense of $24,000. Additionally, the Company recognized a loss of approximately $29,000 in the three months ended May 31, 2016 due to the change in estimated fair value of a bifurcated derivative liability related to an exchange provision in the Promissory Note.

OID Notes

In February 2016, the Company entered into an OID note purchase agreement dated February 12, 2016 (the “February 2016 OID Note Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the February 2016 OID Note Purchase Agreement, the Company received an aggregate purchase price of $500,000 and issued OID promissory Notes (the “OID Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $600,000 and warrants (the “OID Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 36,367 shares of the Company’s common stock.

The Company entered into OID note purchase agreements between March 4 and 15, 2016 (the “March 2016 OID Note Purchase Agreements”) with various accredited investors. Pursuant to the March 2016 OID Note Purchase Agreements, the Company issued OID Notes with an aggregate purchase price of $125,000 and OID Warrants to purchase 9,902 shares of the Company’s common stock. The OID Notes issued in March 2016 have a principal amount equal to $150,000 or 120% of the purchase price.

Pursuant to the March 2016 closings of the OID Note private placement, the principal amount was first allocated to the fair value of the OID Warrants in the amount of approximately $15,000, next to the value of the original issuance discount in the amount of $25,000, then to the fair value of a bifurcated derivative liability related to an exchange provision in the OID Notes in the amount of approximately $33,000, and lastly to the debt discount related to offering costs of approximately $2,000 with the difference of approximately $75,000 representing the initial carrying value of the OID Notes issued in March 2016.

The OID Notes were subsequently amended in August 2016, extending the maturity date of the OID Notes in exchange for among other, (i) an increased principal amount of the OID Notes by 10% to $825,000 in the aggregate from $750,000 in the aggregate, and (ii) the issuance of an aggregate of 45,459 common stock purchase warrants with an exercise price of $2.00 per share and a term of five years.

In October 2016, $553,000 principal amount of OID Notes were exchanged into the securities issued in a private placement. Accordingly, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of approximately $555,000. Additionally, the Company repaid $8,000 of OID Notes.

In November 2016, the Company exercised its sole option to further extend the maturity date to its outstanding OID Note in the aggregate of $264,000 principal amount of OID Note. In consideration for the extension, the Company increased the principal amount of the OID Note by 10% or to $26,400 to $290,400 in the aggregate. In January 2017, the remaining outstanding OID Note was exchanged into a convertible note (see Convertible Note below).

During the three months ended May 31, 2016, the Company recognized approximately $166,000 of interest expense related to the OID Notes, including amortization of debt discount. Additionally, the Company recognized a loss of approximately $25,000 in the three months ended May 31, 2016 due to the change in estimated fair value of a bifurcated derivative liability related to an exchange provision in the OID Notes.

Convertible Note

On January 17, 2017, the Company entered into an exchange agreement, pursuant to which the Company issued a new convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $1,000,000 (the “Convertible Note”) in exchange (the “Debt Exchange”) for the cancellation of (i) $600,000 principal amount of the Promissory Note plus $96,000 of accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and (ii) $290,400 principal amount of the OID Note.

During the three months ended May 31, 2017, the Company recognized approximately $30,000 of interest expense related to the Convertible Note, including amortization of debt discount of approximately $5,000 and accrued interest expense of approximately $25,000.

The following table summarizes the notes payable:

	Convertible Note Payable		Discount			Voluntary Exchange Feature		Debt, Net

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, financial instruments were measured at fair value using a three-level hierarchy which maximizes use of observable inputs and minimizes use of unobservable inputs:

● Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments

● Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments that are directly or indirectly observable in the market

● Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity.  Financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, for which determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. At May 31, 2017 and February 28, 2017, the warrant liability balances were classified as Level 3 instruments.

Derivative Warrant Liability

At May 31, 2017 and February 28, 2017, the warrant liability balances of approximately $0.15 million and $2.1 million, respectively, were classified as Level 3 instruments.

The following table sets forth the changes in the estimated fair value for our Level 3 classified derivative warrant liability:

	Promissory Note Warrants			Series B Warrant			PPM Warrants			Total
Fair value at February 28, 2017	$	157,204		$	35,690		$	1,914,078		$	2,106,972
Change in fair value		(37,366	)		(10,198	)		(442,816	)		(490,380	)
Reclassification of warrant liability to equity		—			—			(1,471,262	)		(1,471,262	)
Fair value at May 31, 2017	$	119,838		$	25,492		$	—		$	145,330

In connection with the initial closing of the Series B Preferred private placement on December 31, 2014, the Company issued a warrant to purchase an aggregate of 30,334 shares of common stock (the “Series B Warrant”), originally exercisable at $8.25 per share and expiring on March 31, 2020.

NET LOSS PER SHARE

3 Months Ended

May 31, 2017

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

NET LOSS PER SHARE

Basic net loss per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Restricted shares issued with vesting conditions that have not been met at the end of the period are excluded from the computation of the weighted average shares. As of May 31, 2017, and May 31, 2016, 11,536 and 11,536, respectively, restricted shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of the weighted average shares.

Diluted net loss per common share is calculated giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period. Diluted potential common shares generally consist of incremental shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants and shares issuable from convertible securities, as well as nonvested restricted shares.

In computing diluted loss per share for the years ended May 31, 2017 and May 31, 2016, no effect has been given to the common shares issuable at the end of the period upon the conversion or exercise of the following securities as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

Research and Development Reimbursements

In connection with our business strategy, we may enter into research and development and other collaboration agreements. Depending on the arrangement, we may record payments as advances, funding receivables, payable balances or non-product income with our partners, based on the nature of the cost-sharing mechanism and activity within the collaboration.

On September 29, 2016, the Company entered into an amendment (the “MTA Amendment”) to a previously executed pilot materials transfer agreement (the “MTA” and together with the Amendment, the “Research Agreement”) with Celgene Corporation (“Celgene”), to conduct a mutually agreed upon pilot research project (the “Pilot Project”). The MTA Amendment provides for milestone payments to the Company of up to approximately $973,000. Under the terms of the Research Agreement, Celgene will provide certain proprietary materials to the Company and the Company will evaluate Celgene’s proprietary materials in the Company’s metastatic cell line and animal nonclinical models. The milestone schedule calls for Celgene to pay the Company approximately $487,000 upon execution of the MTA Amendment, which the Company has received, and the balance in accordance with the completion of three (3) milestones to Celgene’s reasonable satisfaction. The term of the Research Agreement is one (1) year, unless extended by the parties. Either party may terminate the Research Agreement with thirty (30) days prior written notice.

The Company recognizes the upfront payment as a deferred research and development reimbursement in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and will amortize the deferred research and development reimbursement as incurred over the term of the Research Agreement. For the three months ended May 31, 2017, the Company recorded approximately $133,000 in deferred research and development reimbursement, and, at May 31, 2017, the Company had a deferred research and development reimbursement amount of approximately $65,000.

The Company will recognize deferred research and development reimbursement for each subsequent milestone in the period in which the milestone is achieved. As of May 31, 2017, none of the milestones have been achieved.

Research Collaboration Revenue

We currently do not sell any products and do not have any product-related revenue. From time to time, we may enter into research and development collaboration arrangements, in which we are reimbursed for either all or a portion of the research and development costs incurred. We record these payments as revenue in the statement of operations. We recognize revenue upon delivery and acceptance of the test results or other deliverables.

Description Of Business And Going Concern Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, MetaStat Biomedical, Inc., a Delaware corporation and all significant intercompany balances have been eliminated by consolidation.

These interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended February 28, 2017, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 30, 2017. These unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of May 31, 2017 and its results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented and are not necessarily indicative of results for subsequent interim periods or for the full year. These interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and allowed by the relevant SEC rules and regulations; however, the Company believes that its disclosures are adequate to ensure that the information presented is not misleading.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception.  The Company has sustained cumulative losses of approximately $26.6 million as of May 31, 2017, has negative working capital and has not generated positive cash flows from operations. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity and/or debt financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company cannot make any assurances that additional financings will be available to it and, if available, completed on a timely basis, on acceptable terms or at all. If the Company is unable to complete a debt or equity offering, or otherwise obtain sufficient financing when and if needed, it would negatively impact its business and operations and could also lead to the reduction or suspension of the Company’s operations and ultimately force the Company to cease operations. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Subsequent to May 31, 2017, the Company completed a private placement for gross proceeds of approximately $2.14 million (See Note 12).
