1. GENERAL

Amarantus Bioscience Holdings, Inc. (“Amarantus” or the “Company”) is a California based biopharmaceutical company founded in January 2008. We own or have exclusive licenses to various product candidates in the biopharmaceutical and diagnostic areas of the healthcare industry. We are developing our diagnostic product candidates in the field of neurology, and our therapeutic product candidates in the areas of neurology, psychiatry, ophthalmology and regenerative medicine. Our business model is to develop our product candidates through various de-risking milestones that we believe will be accretive to shareholder value, and will position them to be strategically partnered with pharmaceutical companies, diagnostic companies and/or other stakeholders in order to more efficiently achieve regulatory approval and commercialization.

Amarantus Bioscience has three operating divisions: the diagnostics division; the therapeutics division; and the drug discovery division.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (Financial Statements) have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments unless otherwise indicated) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC rules and regulations for interim reporting. The financial results for the periods presented may not be indicative of the full year’s results. The Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10K filed in May 2016.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the 2015 Annual Report.

Reclassification - Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net loss.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the fair value of derivatives, the fair value of stock-based compensation and warrants, the carrying value of intangible assets (patents and licenses), valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Research and Development Expenditures - Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs include salaries and personnel-related costs, consulting fees, fees paid for contract research services, fees paid to clinical research organizations and other third parties associated with clinical trials, the costs of laboratory equipment and facilities, and other external costs. The Company incurred approximately $1.4 million and $2.5 million research and development costs for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. 

Related Party, Fair Value Convertible Notes Receivable - The Company’s convertible note receivable as of March 31, 2016 was valued, taking into consideration, cost of the investment, market participant inputs, market conditions, liquidity, operating results and other qualitative and quantitative factors. The values at which the Company’s convertible note receivable are carried on its books are adjusted to estimated fair value at the end of each quarter taking into account general economic and stock market conditions and those characteristics specific to the underlying investments.  Due to the short term nature of convertible note receivable, cost approximates fair value.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU 2016-01 requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments; requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial assets on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; and clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. ASU 2016-01 will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-01 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) which supersedes FASB ASC Topic 840, Leases (Topic 840) and provides principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than twelve months regardless of classification. Leases with a term of twelve months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. The standard will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted upon issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-02 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”). The amendment is to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. For public entities, the amendments in ASU 2016-09 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2016-09 on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.  

2. LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN

The Company’s activities since inception have consisted principally of acquiring product and technology rights, raising capital, and performing research and development. Successful completion of the Company’s development programs and, ultimately, the attainment of profitable operations are dependent on future events, including, among other things, its ability to access potential markets; secure financing, develop a customer base; attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel; and develop strategic alliances. From inception, the Company has been funded by a combination of equity and debt financings. Although management believes that the Company will be able to successfully fund its operations, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so or that the Company will ever operate profitably. The Company’s activities since inception have consisted principally of acquiring product and technology rights, raising capital, and performing research and development. Historically, we have incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations.

The Company expects to continue to incur substantial losses over the next several years during its development phase. To fully execute its business plan, the Company will need to complete certain research and development activities and clinical studies. Further, the Company’s product candidates will require regulatory approval prior to commercialization. These activities may span many years and require substantial expenditures to complete and may ultimately be unsuccessful. Any delays in completing these activities could adversely impact the Company. The Company plans to meet its capital requirements primarily through issuances of debt and equity securities and, in the longer term, revenue from product sales.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.

(Unaudited)

Historically, the Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations. The Company believes its current capital resources are not sufficient to support its operations. Management intends to continue its research efforts and to finance operations of the Company through debt and/or equity financings. Management plans to seek additional debt and/or equity financing through private or public offerings or through a business combination or strategic partnership. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining additional financing on favorable terms, or at all. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Notes receivable are stated at fair value, as the Company has elected to fair value its notes receivable using the fair value option permitted to the Company. The following is a summary of outstanding related party convertible notes receivable as of March 31, 2016 (amount in thousands):

			Stated			Conversion		Carrying
	Issue Date	Maturity Date	Interest Rate			Terms		Value
Avant Diagnostics, Inc	3/7/2016	3/7/2017		12	%	$	0.20	$	100,000

On March 1, 2016, the Company loaned $400,000 to Theranostic Health, Inc. (“THI”) which is evidenced by a convertible note issued by THI (the “THI Note”). The Company provided the financing evidenced by the Note in order to facilitate the proposed acquisition by Avant Diagnostics, Inc. (“Avant”) of the assets and certain liabilities of THI. In a concurrent transaction, the Company has entered into a non-binding letter of intent to sell its wholly-owned subsidiary, Amarantus Diagnostics, Inc. to Avant for 80 million shares of common stock of Avant.

The THI Note matures on February 28, 2017 and bears interest at 8% per annum payable at maturity in cash. The THI Note is convertible at any time at the option of the Company into shares of common stock of THI at a conversion price of $40.64 per share. The THI Note shall automatically convert into shares of common stock of THI upon a change of control of THI. It is expected that the THI Note will be assumed by Avant upon consummation of the transaction with THI. The conversion price of the THI Note is subject to weighted average anti-dilution price protection if the dilutive issuances are for less than $1 million and full ratchet anti-dilution protection if the dilutive issuances are for more than $1 million. The THI Note has events of default in for any default in the payment of principal or interest when due and for bankruptcy.

There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

The following table presents additional information about Level 3 liabilities measured at fair value. Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of positions that the Company has classified within the Level 3 category. As a result, the unrealized gains and losses for assets and liabilities within the Level 3 category may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities) inputs.

Changes in Level 3 liabilities measured at fair value for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

				Embedded

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

Amarantus Bioscience Holdings, Inc. (”the Company”) is a California-based development-stage biopharmaceutical company founded in January 2008. We focus on developing our intellectual property and proprietary technologies to develop drug and diagnostic product candidates to treat human disease. We own or have exclusive licenses to various product candidates in the biopharmaceutical and diagnostic areas of the healthcare industry, with a specific focus on bringing these candidates to market in the areas of Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Retinal Degenerative disorders, and other ailments of the human body, with a particular focus on the nervous system. Our business model is to develop our product candidates through various de-risking milestones that we believe will be accretive to shareholder value and strategically partner with biopharmaceutical companies, diagnostic companies, investors, private foundations and other key stakeholders in the specific sub-sector of the healthcare industry in which we are developing our products in order to achieve regulatory approval in key jurisdictions and thereafter successfully market and distribute our products.

Overview

The Company’s philosophy is to acquire in-license, discover and develop drug candidates and diagnostics with the potential to address critically important biological pathways involved in human disease.

Principal Products in Development

Amarantus Bioscience has three operating divisions: the diagnostics division; the therapeutics division; and the drug discovery division.

The Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2015

During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we generated no revenue.

Research and development costs for the three months ended March 31, 2016 decreased approximately $1.1 million to approximately $1.4 million from approximately $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 primarily due to scaled back operations, clinical related costs and research arrangements.

General and administrative expenses decreased approximately $2.8 million to approximately $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from approximately $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 primarily due to reduced spending on headcount with related compensation expense.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, other income (expense) increased approximately $1.1 million from approximately $42,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase was due to the decrease in warrant liabilities of approximately $2.5 million, which was due to the price of common stock declining during the quarter ended March 31, 2016, and offset by an increase of $1.2 million in interest expense.

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was approximately $1.6 million as compared to a net loss of $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 with the decrease in loss driven by scaled back operations, reduced costs, reduced compensation and derivative related income.

Inflation adjustments have had no material impact on us.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2016, we had total current assets of approximately $942,000 consisting of approximately $100,000 in cash and cash equivalents, $500,000 in related party convertible notes receivable and $342,000 in prepaid expenses and other current assets. As of March 31, 2016, we had current liabilities in the amount of $15.8 million consisting of (dollars in thousands): 

Accounts payable and accrued expenses	$	7,620
Related party liabilities and accrued interest	$	258
Accrued interest	$	322
Notes payable	$	600
Senior secured convertible promissory notes, net of discount $2.9 million	$	2,389
Derivative liability	$	4,165
Share-settled debt	$	476

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had a working capital deficit in the amount of approximately $14.9 million compared to a deficit of approximately $15.4 million at December 31, 2015. The decrease in the working capital deficit is primarily driven by the decrease in the derivative liabilities.

The table below sets forth selected cash flow data for the periods presented (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016			2015
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(2,487	)	$	(7,805	)
Net cash used in investing activities		(500	)		(901	)
Net cash provided by financing activities		2,911			8,601
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents	$	(76	)	$	(105	)

The success of our business plan during the next 12 months and beyond is contingent upon us generating sufficient revenue to cover our costs of operations, or upon us obtaining additional financing. We believe that our current capital resources are not sufficient to support our operations. We intend to finance our operations through debt and/or equity financings. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. We intend to use all commercially-reasonable efforts at our disposal to raise sufficient capital to run our operations on a go forward basis.

Going Concern

We are a development stage company engaged in biotechnology research and development. We have recorded recurring losses from operations since inception; we have a negative working capital and have generated negative cash flow from operations. There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of March 31, 2016. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of Gerald Commissiong, our Principal Executive Officer, and Robert Farrell, our Principal Financial and Accounting Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2016, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered, due to the following material weaknesses which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both United States generally accepted accounting principles and Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines. Management anticipates that such disclosure controls and procedures will not be effective until the material weaknesses are remediated. We have hired additional staff and added additional resources and expect to remediate the material weakness in our disclosure controls and procedures by the end of our fiscal quarter June 30, 2016.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

General [Abstract]

GENERAL

1. GENERAL

Amarantus Bioscience Holdings, Inc. (“Amarantus” or the “Company”) is a California based biopharmaceutical company founded in January 2008. We own or have exclusive licenses to various product candidates in the biopharmaceutical and diagnostic areas of the healthcare industry. We are developing our diagnostic product candidates in the field of neurology, and our therapeutic product candidates in the areas of neurology, psychiatry, ophthalmology and regenerative medicine. Our business model is to develop our product candidates through various de-risking milestones that we believe will be accretive to shareholder value, and will position them to be strategically partnered with pharmaceutical companies, diagnostic companies and/or other stakeholders in order to more efficiently achieve regulatory approval and commercialization.

Amarantus Bioscience has three operating divisions: the diagnostics division; the therapeutics division; and the drug discovery division.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (Financial Statements) have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments unless otherwise indicated) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC rules and regulations for interim reporting. The financial results for the periods presented may not be indicative of the full year’s results. The Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10K filed in May 2016.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the 2015 Annual Report.

Reclassification - Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net loss.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the fair value of derivatives, the fair value of stock-based compensation and warrants, the carrying value of intangible assets (patents and licenses), valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Research and Development Expenditures - Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs include salaries and personnel-related costs, consulting fees, fees paid for contract research services, fees paid to clinical research organizations and other third parties associated with clinical trials, the costs of laboratory equipment and facilities, and other external costs. The Company incurred approximately $1.4 million and $2.5 million research and development costs for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. 

Related Party, Fair Value Convertible Notes Receivable - The Company’s convertible note receivable as of March 31, 2016 was valued, taking into consideration, cost of the investment, market participant inputs, market conditions, liquidity, operating results and other qualitative and quantitative factors. The values at which the Company’s convertible note receivable are carried on its books are adjusted to estimated fair value at the end of each quarter taking into account general economic and stock market conditions and those characteristics specific to the underlying investments.  Due to the short term nature of convertible note receivable, cost approximates fair value.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU 2016-01 requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments; requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial assets on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; and clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. ASU 2016-01 will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-01 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) which supersedes FASB ASC Topic 840, Leases (Topic 840) and provides principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than twelve months regardless of classification. Leases with a term of twelve months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. The standard will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted upon issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-02 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”). The amendment is to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. For public entities, the amendments in ASU 2016-09 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2016-09 on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Liquidity and Going Concern [Abstract]

LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN

2. LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN

The Company’s activities since inception have consisted principally of acquiring product and technology rights, raising capital, and performing research and development. Successful completion of the Company’s development programs and, ultimately, the attainment of profitable operations are dependent on future events, including, among other things, its ability to access potential markets; secure financing, develop a customer base; attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel; and develop strategic alliances. From inception, the Company has been funded by a combination of equity and debt financings. Although management believes that the Company will be able to successfully fund its operations, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so or that the Company will ever operate profitably. The Company’s activities since inception have consisted principally of acquiring product and technology rights, raising capital, and performing research and development. Historically, we have incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations.

The Company expects to continue to incur substantial losses over the next several years during its development phase. To fully execute its business plan, the Company will need to complete certain research and development activities and clinical studies. Further, the Company’s product candidates will require regulatory approval prior to commercialization. These activities may span many years and require substantial expenditures to complete and may ultimately be unsuccessful. Any delays in completing these activities could adversely impact the Company. The Company plans to meet its capital requirements primarily through issuances of debt and equity securities and, in the longer term, revenue from product sales.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.

Historically, the Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations. The Company believes its current capital resources are not sufficient to support its operations. Management intends to continue its research efforts and to finance operations of the Company through debt and/or equity financings. Management plans to seek additional debt and/or equity financing through private or public offerings or through a business combination or strategic partnership. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining additional financing on favorable terms, or at all. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

The following table presents additional information about Level 3 liabilities measured at fair value. Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of positions that the Company has classified within the Level 3 category. As a result, the unrealized gains and losses for assets and liabilities within the Level 3 category may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities) inputs.

Changes in Level 3 liabilities measured at fair value for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

				Embedded
	Warrant Liability			Conversion Feature			Share-settled Debt			Total

The Company’s warrant liabilities, derivative liabilities and share-settled debt are measured at fair value using the Monte Carlo simulation valuation methodology. A summary of weighted average (in aggregate) about significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs) used in measuring the Company’s warrant liabilities that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy for the years ended December 31, 2015 is as follows:

	As of March 31, 2016

The Note will be convertible at the option of the Amarantus at any time into shares of Avant’s common stock, at an initial conversion price equal to $0.20, subject to adjustment. The conversion price of the Note is subject to customary adjustments provisions for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like. Amarantus has contractually agreed to restrict its ability to convert the Note such that the number of shares of Avant’s common stock held by Amarantus and its affiliates after such conversion does not exceed 4.99% of Avant's then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

General [Abstract]

Reclassification

Reclassification - Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net loss.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the fair value of derivatives, the fair value of stock-based compensation and warrants, the carrying value of intangible assets (patents and licenses), valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Research and Development Expenditures

Research and Development Expenditures - Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs include salaries and personnel-related costs, consulting fees, fees paid for contract research services, fees paid to clinical research organizations and other third parties associated with clinical trials, the costs of laboratory equipment and facilities, and other external costs. The Company incurred approximately $1.4 million and $2.5 million research and development costs for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Related Party, Fair Value Convertible Notes Receivable

Related Party, Fair Value Convertible Notes Receivable - The Company’s convertible note receivable as of March 31, 2016 was valued, taking into consideration, cost of the investment, market participant inputs, market conditions, liquidity, operating results and other qualitative and quantitative factors. The values at which the Company’s convertible note receivable are carried on its books are adjusted to estimated fair value at the end of each quarter taking into account general economic and stock market conditions and those characteristics specific to the underlying investments.  Due to the short term nature of convertible note receivable, cost approximates fair value.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU 2016-01 requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments; requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial assets on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; and clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. ASU 2016-01 will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-01 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) which supersedes FASB ASC Topic 840, Leases (Topic 840) and provides principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than twelve months regardless of classification. Leases with a term of twelve months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. The standard will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted upon issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-02 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”). The amendment is to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. For public entities, the amendments in ASU 2016-09 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2016-09 on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
