Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - Organization of the Company and Description of the Business

Q BioMed Inc. (“Q BioMed” or “the Company”), incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 22, 2013, is a biomedical acceleration and development company focused on licensing, acquiring and providing strategic resources to life sciences and healthcare companies. Q BioMed intends to mitigate risk by acquiring multiple assets over time and across a broad spectrum of healthcare related products, companies and sectors. The Company intends to develop these assets to provide returns via organic growth, revenue production, out-licensing, sale or spinoff new public companies.

On December 7, 2016, the Company formed its wholly-owned subsidiary in Cayman Islands, “Q BioMed Cayman SEZC” (the “Subsidiary”). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Note 2 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim period unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 28, 2018, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended February 28, 2018 and 2017, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended February 28, 2018 and 2017, are unaudited, but include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at November 30, 2017 has been derived from audited financial statements included in the Company's Form 10-K, most recently filed with the SEC on February 28, 2018. The results for the three months ended February 28, 2018 and 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or any other period.

The accompanying interim period unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K.

The Company currently operates in one business segment focusing on licensing, acquiring and providing strategic resources to life sciences and healthcare companies. The Company is not organized by market and is managed and operated as one business. A single management team reports to the chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer, who comprehensively manages the entire business. The Company does not currently operate any separate lines of business.

Going Concern

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company had a net loss and net cash used in operating activities of approximately $2.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively, during the three months ended February 28, 2018. These matters, amongst others, raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

As of February 28, 2018, the Company has raised operating funds through contacts, high net-worth individuals and strategic investors. The Company has not generated any revenue from operations since inception and has limited assets upon which to commence its business operations. At February 28, 2018, the Company had cash of approximately $4.2 million. On February 1, 2018, the Company netted approximately $4,945,000 from the registered sale of common stock and warrants to purchase common stock. The Company’s expected monthly burn rate is approximately $528,000. As such, management anticipates that the Company will have to raise additional funds and/or generate revenue from drug sales within twelve months to continue operations. Additional funding will be needed to implement the Company’s business plan that includes various expenses such as fulfilling our obligations under licensing agreements, legal, operational set-up, general and administrative, marketing, employee salaries and other related start-up expenses. Obtaining additional funding will be subject to a number of factors, including general market conditions, investor acceptance of our business plan and initial results from our business operations. These factors may impact the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing available to us. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient funds, management we will be forced to scale back the Company’s operations or cease our operations.

Management has determined that there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in the audited financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2017 included in the Company’s Form 10-K. Since the date of such financial statements, there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.

In its interim consolidated financial statements, the Company utilizes an expected annual effective tax rate in determining its income tax provisions for the interim periods. That rate differs from U.S. statutory rates primarily as a result of valuation allowance related to the Company’s net operating loss carryforward as a result of the historical losses of the Company.

On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted new tax legislation, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act includes significant changes to corporate taxation, including reduction of the U.S. corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018, limitation of the tax deduction for interest expense to 30% of earnings (except for certain small businesses), limitation of the deduction for net operating losses to 80% of current year taxable income and elimination of net operating loss carrybacks. The Tax Act states that the 21% U.S. federal corporate tax rate is effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2018. However, existing tax law, which was not amended under the Tax Act, governs when a change in tax rate is effective. Existing tax law provides that if the taxable year includes the effective date of any rate change (unless the change is the first date of the taxable year), taxes should be calculated by applying a blended rate to the taxable income for the year. Management has not yet determined the impact the rate reduction will have on the Company's gross deferred tax asset and liabilities and offsetting valuation allowance. However, the Company has a full allowance against the deferred tax asset and as a result there was no impact to income tax expense for the quarter ended February 28, 2018.

In conjunction with the tax law changes, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) to address the application of U.S. GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act. The ultimate impact, which is expected to be recorded by November 30, 2018, may differ from any provisional amounts, due to, among other things, additional analysis, changes in interpretations and assumptions we have made, additional regulatory guidance that may be issued, and actions we may take as a result of the tax Act, and the fact that we cannot definitively predict what our deferred tax balance will ultimately be as of November 30, 2018.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments . This new standard clarifies certain aspects of the statement of cash flows, including the classification of debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, distributions received from equity method investees and beneficial interests in securitization transactions. This new standard also clarifies that an entity should determine each separately identifiable source of use within the cash receipts and payments on the basis of the nature of the underlying cash flows. In situations in which cash receipts and payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows and cannot be separated by source or use, the appropriate classification should depend on the activity that is likely to be the predominant source or use of cash flows for the item. This new standard will be effective for the Company on December 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

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. The ASU 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 classified as 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, such as warrants, an entity will treat the value of the effect of the down round, when triggered, as a dividend and a reduction of income available to common shareholders 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. The guidance in ASU 2017-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, and the guidance is to be applied using a full or modified retrospective approach. Management is currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2017-11 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recent adopted pronouncements

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting . The new standard provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The Company adopted ASU 2017-09 as of December 1, 2017. The adoption of this standard did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 4 – Loss per share

Basic net loss per share was calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share was calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method or the two-class method, whichever is more dilutive. The table below summarizes potentially dilutive securities that were not considered in the computation of diluted net loss per share because they would be anti-dilutive.

On September 6, 2016, we entered into a definitive agreement to exclusively license worldwide and ultimately acquire all the assets from a private company related to an FDA approved generic drug for the treatment of pain associated with metastatic bone cancer, Generic Strontium Chloride Sr-89 Injection USP (“SR89”).

We have initiated final drug product manufacturing at a new contract manufacturing site and through our licensor have filed for the required FDA approval for that site. We will work with the regulators to affect that approval as soon as possible. As a result SR89 will not be commercially available until we have the approval of the FDA to release drug from that site. We anticipate that this will occur in the second quarter of 2018, although it may occur later or never at all.

License Agreement in Rare Pediatric Autistic Spectrum Disorder

On April 25, 2017, we entered into a licensing agreement that provides us with the worldwide exclusive rights to ASDERA’s ASD-002 (now annotated as QBM-001). QBM-001 is being developed to treat a rare pediatric nonverbal disorder. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company receives global rights to develop and commercialize the drug in the rare pediatric disease market.

Given that we are developing an analogue of a well-known approved drug that regulates these channels, we expect to advance this clinically through a 505(b)2 pathway expected to start in late 2018. This single Phase 2/3 pivotal trial, which, if successful, could have the drug ready for market in less than two years from trial initiation.

License Agreement in Liver Cancer Chemotherapeutic Drug Candidate

On June 15, 2017, we signed a final license agreement with The Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF) and the Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology (RGCB). Under the agreement Q BioMed has the global exclusive rights to develop and market a novel chemotherapeutic drug to treat liver cancer.

We are currently working on synthesizing the molecule chemically to ensure commercial availability and scalability. We anticipate that pre-IND work and evaluation will be done by the middle of this year, and if successful, the IND is expected to be filed in the second half of 2018 or early 2019.

Mannin License Update

Additionally, Mannin Research Inc. (“Mannin”), our technology partner company focused on drug candidate MAN-01 for treatment of Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG), has initiated pre-clinical lead candidate optimization of a small molecule for topical application. Lead candidate selection is progressing on-time and on-budget. The topical application in the form of an easy to administer eye drop is a key differentiator for Mannin and aims to solve the compliance problems and invasive procedures currently available to patients suffering from glaucoma.

We are pleased with the progress Mannin research teams have achieved over the past several months and look forward to putting the final drug candidates into IND enabling studies this year.

We continue to advance all the assets in our pipeline. We have executed on our plan to build a pipeline of considerable inherent value with several catalysts expected for 2018. We aim to have a commercial drug on the market by the end of the second quarter of 2018 and two new INDs filed in 2018 including a Phase 4 and a Phase 2/3 pivotal trial. We remain committed to advancing our assets towards the patients that need them and driving value for our shareholders.

Financial Overview

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

This management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our condensed consolidated financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to fair value of financial instruments, research and development costs, accrued expenses and stock-based compensation. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Other than as set out in Note 3 to our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements we believe there have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies as described in the Form 10-K.

Unaudited Results of Operations for the three months ended February 28, 2018 and 2017:

	For the three months ended
	February 28, 2018	February 28, 2017
Operating expenses:
General and administrative expenses	$ 1,320,769	$ 1,407,570
Research and development expenses	853,425	584,938
Total operating expenses	2,174,194	1,992,508

Other income (expense):
Interest expense	-	(216,507 )
Interest income	15	92
Loss on conversion of debt	-	(362,931 )
Change in fair value of embedded conversion option	-	(905,000 )
Change in fair value of warrant liability	-	(59,870 )
Total other income (expenses)	15	(1,544,216 )

Net loss	$ (2,174,179 )	$ (3,536,724 )

Operating expenses

We incur various costs and expenses in the execution of our business. The increase in operating expenses was mainly due to more professional and research & development fees incurred in connection with the license agreements with Mannin, BNI and Asdera.

Other expenses

During the three months ended February 28, 2018, other income included $15 in interest income. During the three months ended February 28, 2017, other expenses included approximately $217,000 in interest expense, $905,000 for the change in fair value of embedded conversion options, approximately $60,000 for the change in fair value of warrant liability, and approximately $363,000 in loss on the conversion of debt.

All of the Company’s outstanding debt was either converted or extinguished as of November 30, 2017 such that the Company had no debt outstanding during the three months ended February 28, 2018.

The decrease in interest expense results from the decrease in the weighted average debt balance in three month period ended February 28, 2017 compared to the three months ended February 28, 2018.

During the three month period ended February 28, 2017, we recognized losses upon the issuance of certain convertible notes of $363,000. The recognized losses result for the conversion of notes where the conversion option has been bifurcated for accounting purposes. As a result, conversions are recognized as an extinguishment of the bifurcated conversion option and of the loan host, which results in a gain or loss based on the difference between the carrying value of the conversion option and loan host compared to the fair value of the common stock issued to convert the note.

During the three month period ended February 28, 2017, we recognized a loss of $905,000 for the aggregate increase in fair value of conversion options embedded in convertible notes. The embedded conversion feature in certain notes was separately measured at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in current operations. We use a binomial valuation model, with fourteen steps of the binomial tree, to estimate the fair value of the embedded conversion options.

Net loss

In the three months ended February 28, 2018 and 2017, we incurred net losses of approximately $2.2 million and $3.5 million, respectively. Our management expects to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future, due to our need to continue to establish a broader pipeline of assets, expenditure on R&D and implement other aspects of our business plan.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

We have not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs and allow us to continue as a going concern. We had approximately $4.2 million in cash as of February 28, 2018. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on the ability to obtain adequate capital to fund operating losses until we generate adequate cash flows from operations to fund our operating costs and obligations. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital, we could be forced to cease operations.

We depend upon our ability, and will continue to attempt, to secure equity and/or debt financing. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Our management has determined that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

Cash Flows

The following table sets forth the significant sources and uses of cash for the periods addressed in this report:

	For the three months ended February 28,
	2018	2017

Net cash (used in) provided by:
Operating activities	$ (1,583,025 )	$ (1,225,443 )
Financing activities	4,945,251	70,000
Net (decrease) increase in cash	$ 3,362,226	$ (1,155,443 )

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $1.6 million for the three months ended February 28, 2018 as compared to approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended February 28, 2017. The increase in net cash used in operating activities relates to the net loss of approximately $2.2 million for the three months ended February 28, 2018, partially offset by aggregate non-cash expenses of approximately $492,000. The net cash used in operating activities of approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended February 28, 2017 results from the net loss of approximately $3.5 million, partially offset by aggregate non-cash expenses of approximately $2.3 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $4.9 million for the three months ended February 28, 2018, resulting from proceeds received from the issuance of common stock and warrants of approximately $5.4 million, offset by offering costs of approximately $0.5 million. Net cash provided by financing activities was $70,000 for the three months ended February 28, 2017, resulting from proceeds received the exercise of warrants.

Commitments and Contingencies

Legal

We are not currently involved in any legal matters arising in the normal course of business. From time to time, we could become involved in disputes and various litigation matters that arise in the normal course of business. These may include disputes and lawsuits related to intellectual property, licensing, contract law and employee relations matters. Periodically, we review the status of significant matters, if any exist, and assesses its potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any claim or legal claim is considered probable and the amount can be estimated, we accrue a liability for the estimated loss. Legal proceedings are subject to uncertainties, and the outcomes are difficult to predict. Because of such uncertainties, accruals are based on the best information available at the time. As additional information becomes available, we reassess the potential liability related to pending claims and litigation.

Advisory Agreements

We entered into customary consulting arrangements with various counterparties to provide consulting services, business development and investor relations services, pursuant to which we agreed to issue shares of common stock as services are received. The Company issued an aggregate of approximately 4,500 shares of common stock during the three months ended February 28, 2018.

Lease Agreement

Rent expenses was classified within general and administrative expenses and was approximately $7,500 and $5,000 for the three months ended February 28, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

License Agreement

Mannin

On October 29, 2015, we entered into a Patent and Technology License and Purchase Option Agreement (“Exclusive License”) with a vendor whereby we were granted a worldwide, exclusive, license on, and option to, acquire certain intellectual property (“Mannin IP”) which initially focused on developing a first-in-class eye drop treatment for glaucoma within the four-year term of the Exclusive License.

During the three months ended February 28, 2018 and 2017, we incurred approximately $619,000 and $421,000, respectively, in research and development expenses to fund the costs of development of the eye drop treatment for glaucoma pursuant to the Exclusive License. Through February 28, 2018, we had funded an aggregate of $3.0 million to Mannin under the Exclusive License.

Bio-Nucleonics

On September 6, 2016, we entered into the Patent and Technology License and Purchase Option Agreement (the “BNI Exclusive License”) with Bio-Nucleonics Inc. (“BNI”) whereby we were granted a worldwide, exclusive, perpetual, license on, and option to, acquire certain BNI intellectual property (“BNI IP”) within the three-year term of the BNI Exclusive License.

During the three months ended February 28, 2018 and 2017, we incurred approximately $112,000 and $143,000, respectively, in research and development expenses pursuant to the BNI Exclusive License. As of February 28, 2018, we had paid approximately $578,000 to BNI out of the maximum $850,000 cash funding requirement.

Asdera

On April 21, 2017, we entered into a License Agreement on Patent & Know-How Technology (“Asdera License”) with Asdera LLC (“Asdera”) whereby we were granted a worldwide, exclusive, license on certain Asdera intellectual property (“Asdera IP”). The initial cost to acquire the Asdera License is $50,000 and the issuance of 125,000 shares of our common stock, with a fair value of $487,500, of which we had fully paid and issued as of November 30, 2017 and recorded in research and development expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition to royalties based upon net sales of the product candidate, if any, we are required to make certain additional payments upon additional milestones.

Subject to the terms of the Agreement, we will be in control of the development and commercialization of the product candidate and are responsible for the costs of such development and commercialization. We have undertaken a good-faith commitment to (i) initiate a Phase II/III clinical trial at the earlier of the two-year anniversary of the agreement or one year from the FDA’s approval of the IND and (ii) to make the first commercial sale by the fifth-anniversary of the agreement. Failure to show a good-faith effort to meet those goals would mean that the Asdera IP would revert to Asdera. Upon such reversion, Asdera would be obligated to pay us royalties on any sales of products derived from the Asdera IP until such time that Asdera has paid us twice the sum that we had provided Asdera prior to the reversion.

OMRF

OMRF License Agreement

On June 15, 2017, we entered into a Technology License Agreement (“OMRF License Agreement”) with the Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology, an autonomous research institute under the Government of India (“RGCB”), and the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (“OMRF” and together with RGCB, the “Licensors”), whereby the Licensors granted the Company a worldwide, exclusive, license on intellectual property related to Uttroside B (the “Uttroside B IP”). Uttroside B is a chemical compound derived from the plant Solanum nigrum Linn, also known as Black Nightshade or Makoi. The Company seeks to use the Uttroside B IP to create a chemotherapeutic agent against liver cancer.

The initial cost to acquire the OMRF License Agreement is $10,000, which will be payable upon reaching certain agreed conditions. In addition to royalties based upon net sales of the product candidate, if any, we are required to make additional payments upon additional milestones.

No milestones have been reached to date on these license agreements.

Related Party Transactions

We entered into consulting agreements with certain management personnel and stockholders for consulting and legal services. Consulting and legal expenses resulting from such agreements were approximately $60,000 and $105,000 for the three months ended February 28, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and were included within general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
