Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Period ended April 30, 2019
(Expressed in Canadian 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 therapeutic pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals, as well as drug delivery platform technologies.
These interim condensed 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 April 30, 2019, the Company has not earned any revenue, has a working capital deficit of $5,122,989 and an accumulated deficit of $36,855,262. The continued operations of the Company are dependent on its ability to generate future cash flows or obtain additional financing. The Company will continue to seek financing, in the form of equity or debt, to mitigate the substantial doubt over going concern and continue to meet its obligations.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of Presentation
The interim condensed 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 Canadian dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is January 31.
(b) Use of Estimates
The preparation of these interim condensed 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 interim condensed 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 and assumptions used to determine the fair values of stock-based compensation, warrants and warrants issued with shares units. Estimates and assumptions have also been made on the recoverable amount of intangible assets, fair value of debentures for the purpose of evaluating modification versus extinguishments, fair value of convertible debentures and deferred income tax asset. 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 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.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(c) Interim Financial Statements
These interim unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown. The condensed consolidated results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year or for any future period. Certain disclosures and financial information have been condensed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "2019 Form 10-K") for the year ended January 31, 2019, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on May 3, 2019.
(d)
Basis of Consolidation
The interim condensed 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:

(e) 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.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related parties, convertible debenture, promissory note and acquisition obligation. Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
(f) 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 condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. 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.
During the period ended April 30, 2019, the Company has excluded 13,681,426 (January 31, 2019 – 3,249,700) potential dilutive shares. For the three month periods ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, diluted loss per share is equivalent to basic loss per share because the potential exercise of the equity-based financial instruments was anti-dilutive.
(g) Adoption of new accounting principles
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASC 842 which requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for virtually all leases. On February 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842 and all related amendments using the modified retrospective transition approach. Refer to Note 3.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. These amendments expand the scope of Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (which currently only includes share-based payments to employees) to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned. On February 1, 2019, the Company has adopted the methodologies prescribed by this ASU and there is no material impact on the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Period ended April 30, 2019
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11“Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features; (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception” (“ASU 2017-11”). ASU 2017-11 allows companies to exclude a down round feature when determining whether a financial instrument (or embedded conversion feature) is considered indexed to the entity’s own stock. As a result, financial instruments (or embedded conversion features) with down round features may no longer be required to be accounted for as derivative liabilities. A company will recognize the value of a down round feature only when it is triggered, and the strike price has been adjusted downward. For equity-classified freestanding financial instruments, an entity will treat the value of the effect of the down round as a dividend and a reduction of income available to common stockholders in computing basic earnings per share. For convertible instruments with embedded conversion features containing down round provisions, entities will recognize the value of the down round as a beneficial conversion discount to be amortized to earnings. On February 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2017-11 with no material impact on the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
(h) Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which modifies certain disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 will be effective for us beginning February 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect this guidance to have an impact on the amounts reported on our consolidated financial statements, and the Company is currently evaluating the potential impact this guidance will have on the disclosures within the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
3. Adoption of ASC 842, Leases
On February 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective transition approach, which applies the provisions of the new guidance at the effective date without adjusting the comparative periods presented. The cumulative effect of adoption of the lease standard result in change on retained earnings as of February 1, 2019 of $17,802. Results for reporting periods beginning after February 1, 2019 are presented under ASC 842 while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic accounting under ASC 840, “Leases”. In accordance with ASC 842, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception based on whether there is an identified asset, whether the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and whether the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company has operating leases, on office and facility spaces, and no financing leases. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. See Note 7 for further disclosures and detail regarding the Company’s operating leases.

Period ended April 30, 2019
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)
3. Adoption of ASC 842, Leases (continued)
For leases with terms greater than twelve (12) months, the Company records the related ROU asset and lease obligation at the present value of lease payments over the term. Leases may include fixed rental escalation clauses, renewal options and / or termination options that are factored into the determination of lease payments when appropriate. The Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate; therefore, an estimate of the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used to discount the lease payments based on information available at the lease commencement date. The discount rate used was 14.4%.
Operating lease costs during the three months ended April 30, 2019 were $136,123 (Note 7).
The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities of approximately $1,162,218 and $1,180,020, respectively, as of February 1, 2019.
Update to Lease Policy
Accounting and reporting guidance for leases requires that leases be evaluated and classified as either operating or finance leases by the lessee and as either operating, sales-type or direct financing leases by the lessor. The Company’s operating leases are included in ROU assets, lease liabilities - current and lease liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.
4. Asset Acquisitions
(a) Thrudermic Transdermal Nanotechnology
On March 2, 2018, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with Thrudermic, LLC (“Thrudermic”) and the members of Thrudermic whereby the Company paid $1.00 for the issued and outstanding units of Thrudermic and issued 500,000 shares of common stock to the members of Thrudermic for their intellectual property portfolio, including unpatented technology, goodwill and know-how in connection with the Thrudermic Transdermal Nanotechnology.
The Company evaluated this acquisition in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations to discern whether the assets and operations of Thrudermic 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 an asset acquisition at cost of $830,000 (Note 6).

(b) Ready-to-Infuse Cannabis Patents (“RTIC Patents”)
On February 28, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of Pivot Naturals, LLC (previously ERS Holdings, LLC) (“Pivot Naturals”) pursuant to an exchange agreement dated as of February 10, 2018. As consideration for the purchase, the Company paid $430,420 (US$333,333) in cash on closing, issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock and will pay an additional $430,420 (US$333,333) six (6) and twelve (12) months after closing. Financial consideration include royalties on future annual net sales. On September 28, 2018, a payment of $429,370 (US$326,666), representing a portion of the payment due six (6) months after closing, was made. The Company extended the payment date for the payment due twelve (12) months after closing from February 28, 2019 to May 31, 2019. As consideration for the extension, the Company issued 60,515 shares of common stock (Note 10(c)) and paid $3,358 (US$2,500) in cash, representing the extension fee for March and April 2019, during the three months ended April 30, 2019. The acquisition obligation outstanding as at April 30, 2019 is $456,382 (US$340,000). On May 17, 2019, the last payment due twelve (12) months after closing was made.
The Company evaluated this acquisition in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (10-55-4) to discern whether the assets and operations of Pivot Naturals 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 an asset acquisition.
