REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Pivot Pharmaceuticals Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pivot Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the “Company”) as of January 31, 2017 and 2016 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended January 31, 2017. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pivot Pharmaceuticals Inc. as of January 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of their operations and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended January 31, 2017, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit, negative working capital, and no revenue to date as of January 31, 2017 which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Year ended January 31, 2016
(Expressed in U.S. dollars)
1. Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business
Pivot Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in British Columbia under the Business Corporations Act on June 10, 2002. On April 7, 2015, the Company changed its name from Neurokine Pharmaceuticals Inc. to Pivot Pharmaceuticals Inc. The Company is in the business of developing and commercializing new treatments for unmet medical needs in women’s cancers as well as exploring new uses for existing drugs and/or developing proprietary drug delivery technologies.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As at January 31, 2017, the Company has not earned any revenue, has a working capital deficit of $1,477,221 and an accumulated deficit of $20,597,753. The continued operations of the Company are dependent on its ability to generate future cash flows or obtain additional financing. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
2. Asset Acquisition
On November 20, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of IndUS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“IndUS”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Acquisition Agreement dated as of November 4, 2015. As consideration for the purchase, the Company issued 4,750,000 shares of common stock, of which 4,512,500 shares of common stock were issued on November 23, 2015 and 237,500 shares of common stock were issued on December 4, 2015 which shares were being held as a contingency pertaining to the liabilities of IndUS which were assumed by Pivot. The Company will also be granting 41,833 stock options pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger. IndUS is a United States-India cross-border pharmaceutical company conducting research and development activities for advancing novel therapeutics in the areas of oncology, infectious diseases and diabetes whose assets consisted of a portfolio of patented and proprietary, novel anticancer drug candidates from multiple chemical classes of molecules referred to as pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimers.
The Company evaluated this acquisition in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (10-55-4) to discern whether the assets and operations of IndUS met the definition of a business. The Company concluded there were not a sufficient number of key processes obtained to develop the inputs into outputs, nor could such processes be easily obtained by the Company. Accordingly, the Company accounted for this transaction as the acquisition of assets and a key employee (compensation arrangement).
The transaction was accounted for in accordance with asset acquisition guidance found in ASC 805 and share based payment guidance found in ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. The consideration transferred, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and compensation expense recognized is as follows:

3. Significant Accounting Policies
(a)
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements and the related notes of the Company are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is January 31.
(b)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, assumptions used to determine the fair values of stock-based compensation and derivative liabilities and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
(c)
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company. Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The consolidating entities include:
% of ownership
Jurisdiction
Pivot Pharmaceuticals Inc.
Parent
Canada
IndUS Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
100%
USA
(d)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. As at January 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had no cash equivalents.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(e)
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock-Based Compensation, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
(f)
Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative financial instruments that are not classified as equity and are not used in hedging relationships are measured at fair value. Subsequent changes to fair value are recorded in the statement of operations and comprehensive income.
(g)
Loss Per Share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the consolidated statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As at January 31, 2017, the Company has 6,840,834 (2016 – 1,700,750) potentially dilutive shares.
(h)
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
ASC 220, Comprehensive Income , establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the consolidated financial statements. As at January 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company’s comprehensive income included foreign currency translation adjustments.
(i)
Research and Development Costs
Research costs are expensed in the period that they are incurred. There were no research costs incurred during the years ended January 31, 2017 and 2016.
(j)
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized. As of January 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not have any amounts recorded pertaining to uncertain tax positions.
The Company files federal and provincial income tax returns in Canada and federal and state income tax returns in the United States. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in tax expense. During the years ended January 31, 2017 and 2016, there were no charges for interest or penalties.

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, amounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, due to related parties and convertible debenture. Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of our cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets, and the fair value of derivative liabilities is determined based on “Level 3” inputs. The recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
(l)
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the parent entity, Pivot Pharmaceuticals Inc., is the Canadian dollar and the functional currency of its subsidiary is the US dollar. The Company’s presentation currency is the US dollar.
Monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the consolidated balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. Expenses are translated at average rates for the period. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.
Results of operations are translated into the Company’s presentation currency, US dollars, at an appropriate average rate of exchange during the year. Net assets and liabilities are translated to US dollars for presentation purposes at rates of exchange in effect at the end of the period. Gains or losses arising on translation are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) as foreign currency translation adjustments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its consolidated financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
4.
Convertible Debenture
On September 30, 2016, the Company issued a convertible debenture with a non-related party for $500,000 Canadian Dollars ($380,411 US Dollars at September 30, 2016) (“Initial Advance”). The debenture is secured under a General Security Agreement, bears interest at 8% per annum and matures on the earlier of:
·
The date the lender demands repayment of principal and interest following an event of default,
·
The date of a dissolution event,
·
The date of a liquidity event, and
·
March 30, 2017.
The Company may request one or more additional advances of up to an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 Canadian Dollars (“Additional Advances”) provided that the aggregate amount under the convertible debenture does not exceed $1,500,000 Canadian Dollars.
The note, including the Initial Advance and any Additional Advances, is convertible into common shares at a conversion price equal to the average closing market price of the Company’s common stock during the five day period leading up to the conversion date. The Company recorded the conversion feature of the convertible debenture as a derivative liability at an estimated fair value of $134,892 with a corresponding discount to the convertible debenture (Note 5).
Pursuant to the convertible loan agreement, the Company issued 434,622 share purchase warrants to which the lender may acquire an interest in the Company equal to 12% of the maximum principal amount outstanding at any time at a price of $0.10, which equates to the ten day average trading price of the Company’s common stock determined as at September 30, 2016. The Company calculated the 434,622 share purchase warrants based on the maximum outstanding principal balance on the convertible loan as of September 30, 2016. The Company recorded the share purchase warrant at an estimated fair value of $20,154 with a corresponding discount to the convertible debenture (Note 8).
As of January 31, 2017, the carrying value of the convertible debenture is $275,010 (January 31, 2016 - $nil), which is net of debt discounts related to conversion feature, financing costs and warrants of $94,709, $6,126 and $6,477 respectively (January 31, 2016 - $nil, $nil and $nil, respectively). As of January 31, 2017, interest accrued on the convertible debenture is $10,307 (January 31, 2016 - $nil) and the fair value of the conversion option derivative liability is $312,541 (January 31, 2016 - $nil).
