Business Overview and Strategy

The Issuer is a development stage specialty pharmaceutical company. The Issuer is focused on developing late stage clinical therapies and in-licensed novel compounds for Fibrosis, Erectile Dysfunction (ED) and other indications. The Issuer’s lead compound for Fibrosis, PTL-202 is a combination of already approved drugs which have well established safety profiles. PTL-202 has completed a phase 1 drug/ drug interaction clinical trial. The Issuer’s lead product for Erectile Dysfunction PTL-2015 is an oral dissolving version of a top selling therapy for ED. PTL-2015 has completed a pilot bioavailability study in humans.

The Issuer will continue to operate virtually, outsourcing all non-core activities such as pre-clinical research and clinical trials and manufacturing. The Issuer will continue to build core skills in managing clinical development of therapies, licensing and commercialization. The Issuer will use its skills, taking in-licensed approved and late stage drug candidates through Phase 2 proof of concept human clinical trials. The Issuer currently is focused on therapies for rare fibrosis indications including Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), Liver Cirrhosis, Scleroderma Associated Pulmonary Fibrosis, Lung Transplant Rejection as well as ED. The Issuer’s strategy is to sell or out-license its product candidates and technologies after completing Phase 2 clinical trial proof of principal studies, however given the current interest of larger pharmaceutical companies in orphan diseases and fibrosis and the financial markets lack of interest in financing an early stage junior public company, the Company may be forced into partnering out the development of its candidates at an earlier stage At the completion of a phase 2 proof of concept trial the value of product candidates generally have been maximized in relation to the capital spent to develop them. In the case of PTL-2015 the strategy is to complete the required clinical trials and register the product for marketing approval in Europe prior to entering a commercialization and distribution agreement however, lack of interest in financing an early stage junior public company, the Company may be forced into partnering out the development of PTL-2015 at an earlier stage to finance the final trial and application for marketing authorization.

Given the company’s inability to secure significant financing to move forward with its product candidates the company is looking in to alternative solutions to maintain shareholder value as well as move the product candidates forward.

Overall Performance

The Issuer’s plan is to continue to operate virtually, outsourcing all non-core activities such as pre-clinical research and clinical trials and manufacturing. Also given the company’s inability to secure significant financing to move forward with its product candidates the company is looking in to alternative solutions to maintain shareholder value as well as move the product candidates forward.

expenses. The main contributor to the increased loss in 2013 compared to FYE 2012 is the increase in advertising and promotion and professional expenses as well as the write off of the Dalhousie license and increase in wages and benefits.

Revenues

As the focus of management during fiscal 2014 was on preparing for further clinical trials of PTL-202 and PTL-2015 no revenues were realized.

The Issuer has no drug therapies approved or for sale and has not generated any revenue from the sale of drug therapies. The Issuer has not recognized any revenue since inception through December 31, 2014. The Issuer does not expect to receive any revenues until after the completion of the Phase 2 trial of PTL-202 or the approval for marketing of PTL-2015.

The Issuer’s revenues will be earned through upfront payments from licenses, milestone payments included in-licenses and royalty income from licenses. The Issuer’s revenues will depend on out licensing the Issuer’s drug candidates to suitable development and commercialization partners and its partners’ abilities to successfully complete clinical trials and commercialize the Issuer’s drug candidates worldwide.

Research & Development Expense

Research and development expense consists primarily of salaries for management of research contracts and research contracts for pre-clinical studies, clinical studies and assay development as well as the development of clinical trial protocols and application to government agencies to conduct clinical trials, including consulting services fees related to regulatory issues and business development expenses related to the identification and evaluation of new drug candidates. Research and development costs are expensed as they are incurred.

From inception through to December 31, 2014, the Issuer incurred total expenses in the development of its intellectual property of $1,924,739 , which includes $554,712 of research and development expenses (research and development expenses on the financial statements have been offset by $53,277 in IRAP funding and $193,935 in SR&ED tax credits), $161,394 of professional fees and $1,208,633 of wages and benefits.

Less: Government contributions $Nil   $Nil   ($6,508)  
Total $Nil   $Nil   $50,941  

The decrease in research expense in 2014 and 2013 is due to a lack of funds to conduct clinical trials on PTL-202. The increase in research expense in 2012 is due to the initiation of clinical trials of PTL-202. The fee paid to the contract research operation for the drug/drug interaction trial in India was $47,134.

Research and development expenses of approximately $250,000 are required for the pivotal trial scale-up and process development of PTL-202 and an additional $240,000 will be required for the pivotal clinical trial of the formulated product. The results of this work may provide the information required for a regulatory submission to move PTL-202 into a phase 2 study. The cost of the regulatory submission is budgeted at $280,000.

Additional financing will be required to complete the development and commercialize PTL-202. There is no assurance that such financing will be available or that the Issuer will have the capital to complete this proposed development and commercialization.

The Issuer was able to complete the formulation, drug/drug interaction study of PTL-202, analyzing the blood samples and analyzing the data from the drug/drug interaction trial in 2012 as planned. The Issuer’s clinical development studies and regulatory considerations relating to PTL-202 are subject to risks and uncertainties that may significantly impact its expense estimates and development schedules, including:

  • the scope, rate of progress and cost of the development of PTL-202;

  • uncertainties as to future results of the pivotal bio equivalency study of PTL-202;

  • the issuers ability to enroll subjects in clinical trials for current and future studies;

  • the Issuer’s ability to raise additional capital; and

  • the expense and timing of the receipt of regulatory approvals.

9





Also the Issuer has plans to initiate a bioequivalence study of PTL-2015 for ED and make application to a regulatory for marketing approval. The budget for the development of PTL-2015 is $500,000.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative costs consist primarily of personnel related costs, non-intellectual property related legal costs, accounting costs and other professional and administrative costs associated with general corporate activities.

From 2013 and beyond, as PTL-202 and PTL-2015 advance through clinical development and as operations are developed to move PTL-202, PTL-2015 and other drug candidates through the clinical trial process, general and administrative expenses will increase. Increases in personnel costs, professional fees and contract services will make up a significant portion of these planned expenditures.

Intellectual Property and Intangible Assets

All license and option fees paid to licensors for intellectual property licenses are capitalized to intangible assets on the Issuer’s financial statements. In addition, any expenses for intellectual property protection including patent lawyers services fees, and any filing fees with government agencies or the WIPO are capitalized to intangible assets. Now that patents have been allowed in the United Sates and by the European Union, patent costs are expected to increase in the next twelve months.

Interest Income

Interest income consists of interest earned on the Issuers cash and cash equivalents. There was interest income in 2014 of $Nil (2013 - $Nil, 2012 – $Nil).

Profits

At this time, the Issuer is not anticipating profit from operations. Until such time as the Issuer is able to realize profits from the out licensing of products under development, the Issuer will report an annual deficit and will rely on its ability to obtain equity/or debt financing to fund ongoing operations. For information concerning the business of the Issuer, please see “Business Overview and Strategy”.

Liquidity and Capital Resources and Outlook

The Issuer is a development stage company and therefore has no regular cash inflows. Selected financial data pertaining to liquidity and capital resources the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, are presented below.

At December 31, 2014, the Issuer had cash and cash equivalents of $1,513 (FYE 2013 -$180,692) and working capital deficiency of $940,251 [FYE 2013 – 502,500]. Working capital is calculated as current assets less current liabilities.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $179,179 between FYE 2014 and FYE 2013 due to a decrease in financing during the year.

Working Capital decreased by $437,751 from FYE 2013 to FYE 2014 due to a decrease in financing during the period. Total liabilities increased by $251,888 for the FYE December 31, 2014 when compared to the total liabilities at FYE 2013. The Issuer’s cash inflows from

financing activities comprised proceeds from common share issuances, cash share subscriptions received, the repayment of a convertible note, a new convertible note and amounts loaned to the Company from shareholders during FYE 2014 totaling $197,785 The Issuer’s cash inflows from financing activities comprised proceeds from common share issuances, and amounts loaned to the Company from shareholders during FYE 2013 totalling $731,273 (FYE 2012- $315,788). Cash from financing activities decreased by $533,488 between FYE 2014 and FYE 2013 and increased by $415,485 between FYE 2012 and FYE 2013.

Cash utilized in operating activities during FYE 2014 was $366,769 (FYE 2013 - $546,866). The decrease in cash utilized in operations during 2014 as compared to 2013 was due to a decrease in advertising and promotion, bank charges and interest, investor relations and professional fees. This decrease was offset by an increase in expenses for insurance, convertible note accretion and interest and transfer agent fees. The increase in cash utilized in operations during 2013 as compared to 2012 was due to an increase in advertising and promotion, investor relations, professional fees, and wages and benefits. This increase in FYE 2013 was partially offset by reductions in bank charges and interest, share based payments and travel.

Interest income during the FYE 2014 was $Nil (FYE 2013 - $Nil, FYE 2012 - $Nil).

At December 31, 2014, share capital was $2,760,010 comprising 38,976,825 issued and outstanding common shares and Nil issued and outstanding preferred shares (FYE 2013 -$2,669,210 comprising 37,456,825 issued and outstanding common shares and Nil issued and outstanding preferred shares). The Issuer intends to issue additional shares increasing its share capital to fund future research and development and operations.

Contributed surplus, which arises from the recognition of the estimated fair value of stock options and warrants, was $289,766 for FYE 2014 (FYE 2013 - $123,704).

As a result of the net and comprehensive loss for the FYE 2014 of $693,645 (FYE 2013 of $740,846, FYE 2012 of $605,468), the deficit at December 31, 2014 increased to $3,955,537 from $3,263,058 at December 31, 2013 which was an increase from $2,662,918 at December 31, 2012.

During the FYE 2014, the Issuer’s net cash provided by financing activities decreased to $197,785 (FYE 2013 - $731,273, FYE 2012 - $315,788).

At present, the Issuer’s operations do not generate cash inflows and its financial success after 2014 is dependent on management’s ability to continue to obtain sufficient funding to sustain operations through the development stage and successfully bring the Issuer’s technologies to the point that they may be out licensed so that the Issuer achieves profitable operations. The research and development process can take many years and is subject to factors that are beyond the Issuer’s control.

In order to finance the Issuer’s future research and development and to cover administrative and overhead expenses in the coming years the Issuer may raise money through equity sales. Many factors influence the Issuer’s ability to raise funds, including the Issuer’s track record, and the

12





experience and calibre of its management. Actual funding requirements may vary from those planned due to a number of factors, including the progress of research activities. Management believes it will be able to raise equity capital as required in the long term, but recognizes there will be risks involved that may be beyond their control. Should those risks fully materialize, it may not be able to raise adequate funds to continue its operations.

The Issuer is not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on the Issuer’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The Issuer’s accounting policies are presented in Note 3 of the December 31, 2014 audited financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to select accounting policies and make estimates. Such estimates may have a significant impact on the financial statements. Actual amounts could differ materially from the estimates used and, accordingly, affect the results of the operations. These include:

14





  • the assumptions used for the determinations of the timing of future income tax events

  • the carrying values of intangible assets, technology license and patents, and other long lived assets

  • the valuation of stock-based compensation expense

  • the carrying value of a derivative liability

Changes in Accounting Policies including Initial Adoption

Financial Instruments

The Issuer’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trades payable and accrued liabilities, , balances due to related partie , the liability portion of the convertible note, and the derivative component of the convertible note. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Issuer is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. Cash and cash equivalents amounts are classified as fair value through profit or loss and due to related parties and the liability portion of the convertible note are classified as financial liabilities and are carried at amortized cost. The derivative liability is carried at fair value with re-measurement to fair value at the end of each reporting period. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their carrying values due to their short-term maturity or capacity for prompt liquidation.

Foreign exchange risk is the risk arising from changes in foreign currency fluctuations. The Issuer does not use any derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency rates. It is the opinion of management that the foreign exchange risk to which the Issuer is exposed is minimal.

Limitations of Controls and Procedures

The Issuer’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believe that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, they cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Issuer have been prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by unauthorized override of the control. The design of any systems of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in a cost effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
