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 August 31, 2017, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, 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, 2016 has been derived from audited financial statements included in the Company's Form 10-K, most recently filed with the SEC on February 28, 2017. The results for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016 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 is pre-revenue, had approximately $2.5 million in cash as of August 31, 2017. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern depends on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it generates adequate cash flows from operations to fund its operating costs and obligations. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

The Company depends upon its ability, and will continue to attempt, to secure equity and/or debt financing. The Company might not be successful, and without sufficient financing it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. 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, 2016 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.

Fair value of financial instruments

Fair value measurements discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of August 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016. The respective carrying value of cash and accounts payable approximated their fair values as they are short term in nature.

As of August 31, 2017, the estimated aggregate fair value of all outstanding convertible notes payable is approximately $2.3 million. The fair value estimate is based on the estimated option value of the conversion terms, since the strike price of each note series is in-the-money at August 31, 2017. The estimated fair value represents a Level 3 measurement.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-06, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments. This new standard simplifies the embedded derivative analysis for debt instruments containing contingent call or put options by removing the requirement to assess whether a contingent event is related to interest rates or credit risks. This new standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. The Company adopted the provisions. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

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 January 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued an ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The amendments in this Update is to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The Update may be adopted early. The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 2017-01 effective December 1, 2016. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

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). The amendments in Part I of this Update change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. Convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features are now subject to the specialized guidance for contingent beneficial conversion features (in Subtopic 470-20, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options), including related EPS guidance (in Topic 260). The amendments in Part II of this Update recharacterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the Codification, to a scope exception. Those amendments do not have an accounting effect. For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. Management is currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2017-11 will have on the Company’s Condensed 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.

Series A Notes

The Series A convertible notes payable (the “Series A Notes”) are due and payable 18 months after issuance and bear interest at 10% per annum. At the election of the holder, outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest under the Series A Notes is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time prior to maturity at a conversion price per share equal to the higher of: (i) forty percent (40%) discount to the average closing price for the ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the notice of conversion or (ii) $1.25 per share. At maturity, any remaining outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest outstanding under the Series A Notes will automatically convert into shares of the Company’s common stock under the same terms. As of August 31, 2017, the Company has no Series A Notes outstanding.

Series B Notes

The Series B convertible notes payable (the “Series B Notes”) have the same terms as the Series A Notes. As of August 31, 2017, the Company has no Series B Notes outstanding.

Series C Notes

The Series C convertible notes payable (the “Series C Notes”) are due and payable 18 months after issuance and bear interest at 10% per annum. At the election of the holder, outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest under the Series C Notes is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price per share equal to the lesser of a 40% discount to the average closing price for the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the notice of conversion or $1.55, but in no event shall the conversion price be lower than $1.25 per share. If the average VWAP, as defined in the agreement, for the ten trading days immediately preceding the maturity date $5.00 or more, any remaining outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest outstanding under the Series C Notes will automatically convert into shares of the Company’s common stock under the same terms.

The terms of the Series C Notes also provided that up until maturity date, the Company cannot enter into any additional, or modify any existing, agreements with any existing or future investors that are more favorable to such investor in relation to the Series D Note holders, unless, the Series C Note holders are provided with such rights and benefits (“Most Favored Nations Clause”). As of August 31, 2017, the Company has no Series C Notes outstanding.

Series D Notes

The Series D convertible notes payable (the “Series D Notes”) are due and payable 18 months after issuance and bear interest at 10% per annum. At the election of the holder, outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest under the Series D Notes is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed conversion price per share equal to $1.85. The Series D Notes automatically convert upon maturity at $1.85 per share if the ten trading days VWAP immediately preceding maturity is $5.00 or greater. Additionally, if the Company’s common shares are up-listed to a senior exchange such as the AMEX or NASDAQ, all monies due under the Series D Notes will automatically convert at $1.85 per share.

The terms of the Series D Notes also included the Most Favored Nations Clause. The Most Favored Nations Clause was viewed as providing the Series D Note holder with down-round price protection. As such, the embedded conversion option in the Series D Note was separately measured at fair value upon issuance, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in current earnings.

On September 30, 2016, the Company amended the Most Favored Nations Clause of the Series D Notes to restrict the Company from taking dilutive action without the Series D note holders’ consent, effectively removing the down-round price protection.

At the amendment date, the conversion price of the amended Series D Notes was below the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock. As such, the Company recognized a beneficial conversion feature equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion price on the amendment date, resulting in a discount to the amended Series D Notes of $160,000 with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital. The resulting debt discount is presented net of the related convertible note balance in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and is amortized to interest expense over the note’s term. As of August 31, 2017, the Company has no Series D Notes outstanding.

Series E Notes

The Series E convertible notes payable (the “Series E Notes”) are due and payable 18 months after issuance and bear interest at 10% per annum. At the election of the holder, outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest under the Series E Notes is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed conversion price per share equal to $2.50. The Series E Notes automatically convert upon maturity at $2.50 per share if the ten trading days VWAP immediately preceding maturity is $5.00 or greater. Additionally, if the Company’s common shares are up-listed to a senior exchange such as the AMEX or NASDAQ, all monies due under the Series E Notes will automatically convert at $2.50 per share.

At the issuance date, the conversion price of the Series E Notes was below the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock. As such, the Company recognized a beneficial conversion feature equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion price on the amendment date, resulting in a discount to the Series E Notes of approximately $141,000 with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital. The resulting debt discount is presented net of the related convertible note balance in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and is amortized to interest expense over the note’s term.

Secured Convertible Debentures

On November 29, 2016, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with an accredited investor to place Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”), which was later amended on March 7, 2017, with a one-year term in the aggregate principal amount of up to $4,000,000. On October 3, 2017, the Company amended the Debentures to extend the maturity date from November 30, 2017 to November 30, 2018 (see Note 11). The initial closing occurred on November 30, 2016 when the Company issued a Debenture for $1,500,000 (“Initial Debenture Note”). The second closing of $1 million was on March 10, 2017 (“Second Debenture Note”), when the registration statement to register for resale all of the shares of common stock into which the Debentures may be converted (the “Conversion Shares”) was filed with the SEC. The remaining balance of $1.5 million was received on April 6, 2017 (“Third Debenture Note”), the date the registration statement was declared effective by the SEC. The Debentures bear interest at the rate of 5% per annum. In addition, the Company must pay to an affiliate of the holder a fee equal to 5% of the amount of the Debenture at each closing.

The Debenture may be converted at any time on or prior to maturity at the lower of $4.00 or 93% of the average of the four lowest daily VWAP of the Company’s common stock during the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion date, provided that as long as the Company is not in default under the Debenture, the conversion price may never be less than $2.00. The Company may not convert any portion of the Debenture if such conversion would result in the holder beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s then issued common stock, provided that such limitation may be waived by the holder.

Any time after the six-month anniversary of the issuance of the Debenture, if the daily VWAP of the Company’s common stock is less than $2.00 for a period of twenty consecutive trading days (the “Triggering Date”) and only for so long as such conditions exist after a Triggering Date, the Company shall make monthly payments beginning on the last calendar day of the month when the Triggering Date occurred. Each monthly payment shall be in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount outstanding as of the Triggering Date divided by the number of such monthly payments until maturity, (ii) a redemption premium of 20% in respect of such principal amount being paid (up to a maximum of $300,000 in redemption premium) and (iii) accrued and unpaid interest as of each payment date. The Company may, no more than twice, obtain a thirty-day deferral of a monthly payment due as a result of a Triggering Date through the payment of a deferral fee in the amount equal to 10% of the total amount of such monthly payment. Each deferral payment may be paid by the issuance of such number of shares as is equal to the applicable deferral payment divided by a price per share equal to 93% of the average of the four lowest daily VWAP of the Company’s common stock during the ten consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the due date in respect of such monthly payment begin deferred, provided that such shares issued will be immediately freely tradable shares in the hands of the holder.

The Company also entered into a Security Agreement to secure payment and performance of its obligations under the Debenture and related agreements pursuant to which the Company granted the investor a security interest in all of its assets. The security interest granted pursuant to the Security Agreement terminated on the effectiveness of the Registration Statement on April 6, 2017.

Upon issuance of the Second and Third Debenture Notes, the Company recognized a debt discount of $731,000, resulting from the recognition of a beneficial conversion feature of $645,000 and a bifurcated embedded derivative of $86,000. The beneficial conversion feature was recognized as the intrinsic value of the conversion option on issuance of the Debentures. The monthly payment provision within the Debentures is a contingent put option that is required to be separately measured at fair value, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations during the nine months ended August 31, 2017. The Company estimated the fair value of the monthly payment provision, as of August 31, 2017 and November 30, 2016, using probability analysis of the occurrence of a Triggering Date applied to the discounted maximum redemption premium for any given payment. The probability analysis utilized the following inputs:

Volatility			101.58% - 146.26	%
Risk-free rate			0.53% - 1.08	%

The maximum redemption was discounted at 20%, the calculated effective rate of the Debenture before measurement of the contingent put option. The fair value estimate is a Level 3 measurement.

Embedded Conversion Options

The embedded conversion feature is separately measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in current operations. Management used a binomial valuation model, with fourteen steps of the binomial tree, to estimate the fair value of the embedded conversion option at issuance of the Series A, B, C and D Notes with the following key inputs:


Embedded derivatives at inception and upon conversion
	For the nine months ended August 31,
	2017				2016
Stock price		$	4.93 - $7.05			$	2.60 - $3.26

Volatility			-				156.74% - 163.49	%
Risk-free rate			-				0.48% - 0.80	%
Dividend yield			-				0.00	%

During the three months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized interest expense of approximately $171,000 and $97,000, respectively, resulting from amortization of the debt discount for the outstanding convertible notes. During the nine months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized interest expense of approximately $526,000 and $262,000, respectively, resulting from amortization of the debt discount for the outstanding convertible notes.

As of August 31, 2017, the embedded conversion options have an aggregate fair value of $2,000 and are presented on a combined basis with the related loan host in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The table below presents changes in fair value for the embedded conversion options, which is a Level 3 fair value measurement:

Rollforward of Level 3 Fair Value Measurement for the Nine Months Ended August 31, 2017

Balance at November 30, 2016			Issuance		Net unrealized gain/(loss)		Conversion			Balance at August 31, 2017
	$	977,000		86,000		812,017		(1,873,017	)		$	2,000

Conversions of debt

The following conversions of the convertible notes occurred during the nine months ended August 31, 2017:

	Principal		Shares
Series A conversions		12,500		5,936
Series B conversions		55,000		27,995
Series C conversions		576,383		407,484
Series D conversions		160,000		91,782
Series E conversions		150,000		63,255
Secured Debenture conversions		2,000,000		461,203
Total	$	2,953,883		1,057,655

As the embedded conversion option in each note series had been separately measured at fair value, the conversion of each note was recognized as an extinguishment of debt. The Company recognized a loss on conversion of debt of approximately $365,000 as the difference between the fair value of common stock issued to the holders of approximately $2.7 million and the aggregate net carrying value of the convertible notes, including the bifurcated conversion options, of approximately $2.3 million.

Extinguishment of debt

On August 1, 2017, the holder of the Debentures retired an aggregate of $250,000 each in principal of the Second and Third Debenture Notes along with its accrued interest, for a total amount of approximately $0.5 million, to reinvest and purchase an aggregate of 162,000 Units in the August Private Placement (see Note 9). As the embedded conversion option in the Debentures had been separately measured at fair value, the cancellation of debt was recognized as an extinguishment of debt. The Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $76,000 as the difference between the fair value of Units issued to the holders of approximately $0.5 million and the aggregate net carrying value of the convertible notes, including the bifurcated conversion options, of approximately $442,000.

Events of default

The Company will be in default of the Series E Notes, and all amounts outstanding will become immediately due and payable upon: (i) maturity, (ii) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, cessation of operation, or liquidation events, (iii) if any money judgement, writ or similar process filed against the Company for more than $150,000 remains unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of twenty (20) days, (iv) the Company fails to maintain the listing of the common stock on at least one of the OTC markets or the equivalent replacement exchange, (v) the Company’s failure to maintain any material intellectual property rights, personal, real property or other assets that are necessary to conduct its business, (vi) the restatement of any financial statements filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for any period from two years prior to the notes issuance date and until the notes are no longer outstanding, if the restatement would have constituted a material adverse effect of the rights of the holders of the notes, (vii) the Company effectuates a reverse stock split of its common stock without twenty (20) days prior written notice to the notes’ holders, (viii) in the event that the Company replaces its transfer agent but fails to provide, prior to the effective date, a fully executed irrevocable transfer agent instructions signed by the successor transfer agent and the Company, (ix) in the event that the Company depletes the share reserve and fails to increase the number of shares within three (3) business days, (x) if the Company fails to remain current in its filings with the SEC for more than 30 days after the filing deadline, (xi) after 12 months following the date the Company no longer deems itself a shell company as reflected in a ’34 Act filing, the Lenders are unable to convert the notes into free trading shares, and (xii) upon fundamental change of management.

The Company is currently not in default for any convertible notes issued.

Note 6 – Note Payable

As of August 31, 2017 and November 30, 2017, the Company had an outstanding promissory note of $150,000 (“OID Note”). The OID Note does not pay interest and matures on November 3, 2017.

At the issuance date, the $150,000 OID Note was issued together with 15,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock for cash proceeds of $150,000. As such, the Company recognized a beneficial conversion feature, resulting in a discount to the OID Note of approximately $52,000 with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital. The resulting debt discount is presented net of the related convertible note balance in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and is amortized to interest expense over the note’s term.

Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies

Lease Agreement

In December 2016, the Subsidiary entered into a lease agreement for its office space located in Cayman Islands for $30,000 per annum. The initial term of the agreement ends in December 2019 and can be renewed for another three years.

Note 10 – Warrants and Options

Warrant Liability

As of November 30, 2016, the Company had outstanding warrants issued as part of the private placement units initially classified as liabilities because the exercise price may be adjusted downward, in certain circumstances, for a ninety-day period following their initial issuance. Warrant liabilities are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized each reporting period in the Statement of Operations. The warrants ceased being liability classified at the conclusion of the ninetieth day from issuance. As a result, an aggregate of approximately $228,000 in warrant liability was reclassified to equity during the nine months ended August 31, 2017. All other warrants are equity classified.

The warrant liability is a Level 3 fair value measurement, recognized on a recurring basis. 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 liabilities within the Level 3 category may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable inputs (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable inputs (e.g., probabilities of the occurrence of an early termination event).

Overview

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

On December 7, 2016, the Company formed its wholly-owned subsidiary in Cayman Islands, “Q BioMed Cayman SEZC”.

Recent Developments

On August 1 2017 we closed a $3,050,390 equity financing. The financing with a small group of accredited investors provides the necessary capital to meet near term milestones and catalysts in its most advanced product portfolio assets, including the commercialization of Strontium Chloride 89, multiple IND enabling studies, CMC manufacturing and at least one IND filing.

Strontium 89 Chloride commercialization

On September 6, 2016, we announced the closing of 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”).

This licensed radiopharmaceutical agent is indicated for the treatment of pain associated with metastatic bone cancer. SR89 provides long lasting relief for patients suffering from bone pain due to metastatic cancer, typically caused by advanced-stage breast, prostate or lung cancer. The drug is preferentially absorbed in bone metastases. It has been proven to provide a long-term effect resulting in non-narcotic cancer pain relief and enhanced quality of life.

We have initiated final drug product manufacturing however as a result of the 2 major hurricanes in both Texas and Florida and their impact on the logistics and in particular the contract manufacturing facilities in those states, we are taking additional steps to ensure that the manufacturing process meets our strict standards and safety is never compromised. We are building additional redundancies into our supply chain, including adding new manufacturing sites and securing the required FDA approval for those sites. We will work with the regulators to affect those changes as soon as possible. As a result of these measures SR89 may not be commercially available until the end of 2017. A new website, www.PainFreeCancer.com was recently announced in anticipation of the commercial launch.

We intend to make this drug as widely available as possible and to ensure that the drug will be priced competitively. In light of the current opiate overuse and abuse crisis, we are pleased to be offering this non-narcotic cancer pain palliation drug to patients suffering from this debilitating condition.

There are approximately 300,000 new cases of bone metastases in patients with breast and lung cancer per year in the U.S. alone with 1 in 3 of those being ideal candidates for SR89. Approximately 80% of patients using SR89 have reported experiencing a substantial decrease in pain, an increase in physical activity and a reduction in the need for opiate analgesics. In the body, strontium acts similarly to calcium and is preferentially taken up in osteoblastic tissue while the unabsorbed isotope is excreted in the urine the first 2 to 3 days following injection, clearing rapidly from the blood and selectively localizing in bone mineral. Uptake of strontium by bone occurs preferentially in sites of active osteogenesis; thus primary bone tumors and areas of metastatic involvement (blastic lesions) can accumulate significantly greater concentrations of strontium than surrounding normal bone.

Generic Strontium Chloride Sr-89 Injection USP can be used in combination with (and reduce the dosage of) opiate based drugs like Oxycotin®, Morphine, Percocet® or replace them entirely. It can also be used in combination with cancer therapeutic drugs. Clinical studies have demonstrated that the combination of alternating weekly chemohormonal therapies with SR89 demonstrated a prolonged progression-free and overall survival with acceptable toxicity.

We believe there is an opportunity to invest additional resources into the program to grow the revenue potential significantly.

New 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.

We recently announced a partnership with Sphaera Pharma to develop a new and proprietary analog of QBM-001 for pediatric developmental nonverbal disorder. Sphaera Pharma will employ its proprietary and patented platform to produce a novel analog that aims to reduce or eliminate potential side effects and can reduce the amount of product a toddler needs to take on a daily basis. Preclinical testing of the new analog is currently underway and a final product is scheduled to be ready by the middle of October, putting Q BioMed on a path to file an IND towards the end of 2017 or the beginning of 2018.

The proprietary analog will also allow Q BioMed to apply for a global composition of matter patent for QBM-001, while still ensuring Q BioMed can pursue the 505(b)2 regulatory pathway in the US to ensure toddlers can possibly benefit from QBM-001 as soon as possible.

Among the more than 60,000 US children who develop autism spectrum disorders (ASD) every year, 20,000 become nonverbal or lose the ability to speak. The numbers are similar in Europe and this nonverbal group will have to rely on assisted living for the rest of their life.

Given the severity of this disorder and the immense emotional toll on these children and their families, our goal is to move the product forward quickly by using all the regulatory tools available to us to expedite the advancement of this drug candidate.

The cost for treatment and assisted living in the US alone can equal or exceed ten million dollars per patient over a lifetime. The estimated cost to the US healthcare system and lost productivity is estimated at 200 billion dollars. Currently there is no treatment for this disorder. EEG, behavioral, and genetic testing can identify a targeted population of children in their second year of life that we believe would respond to this treatment.

Research published in 2014 by Wittkowski et al. in the Nature journal Translational Psychiatry and independently confirmed in 2015 by Guglielmi et al. indicated that certain ion channels were not active enough in this targeted population. 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 in 2018 with a single Phase 2/3 pivotal trial, which, if successful, could have the drug ready for market in less than 2 years.

New 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.

The compound was isolated and characterized from the leaves of Solanum nigrum Linn, or black nightshade, a plant widely used in traditional medicine. In animal models, the compound, called uttrocide B, was shown to be 10 times more cytotoxic to HepG2 liver cancer cells than the only drug currently on the market for the condition and caused no noticeable side effects.

Liver cancer is the second most common cause of cancer deaths worldwide, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and claims approximately 750,000 lives each year. The American Cancer Society estimates that 39,000 people in the U.S. will be diagnosed with primary liver cancer in 2017 and that 27,000 will die from the disease this year.

We are currently working on synthesizing the molecule chemically to ensure commercial availability and scalability. We anticipate that pre-IND work will be done this year, and the IND is expected to be filed in the first half of 2018.

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.

Mannin is continuing its focus on research and discovery on the biology of Tie2/TEK signaling and its relationship with Schlemm’s Canal function and regulation of intra-ocular pressure. Additional data sets and IP have been developed around this novel mechanism of action. Mannin is evaluating strategic partnerships opportunities to grow its intellectual property portfolio within the Tie2/TEK signaling market, and is seeking complementary technologies to strengthen its product pipeline. The Ties/TEK platform is applicable to other indications and we have made progress in identifying potential treatments for cardiovascular diseases as well as kidney diseases using this innovative approach.

In February 2017, Mannin was accepted into Johnson & Johnson Innovation, JLABS @ Toronto. JLABS @ Toronto is a 40,000 square-foot life science innovation center. The labs provide a flexible environment for start-up companies pursuing new technologies and research platforms to advance medical care. Through a “no strings attached” model, Johnson & Johnson Innovation does not take an equity stake in the companies occupying JLABS @ Toronto and the companies are free to develop products – either on their own, or by initiating a separate external partnership with Johnson & Johnson Innovation or any other company.

Mannin will utilize JLABS @ Toronto as complementary lab space to conduct commercial research and development as it relates to its MAN-01 program for Glaucoma and to the greater Tie2 platform technology. As a resident, Mannin will have access to the development and commercialization expertise provided by JLABS @ Toronto. Mannin has been utilizing its presence in JLABS @Toronto to increase its visibility within the biotechnology community in Toronto. Since taking up residency in JLABS in January 2017, Mannin has participated in numerous events hosted at the JLABS @ Toronto site. These events have provided Mannin with one-on-one interactions with investors, media, government agencies, and industry executives. Being a JLABS resident company provides Mannin with access to a world class network of investors and industry partners. Mannin is establishing research and development partnerships with companies and organizations to provide direct support for the MAN-01 program and Mannin’s other research and development initiatives.

Mannin Research will be presenting at Spotlight on JLABS, at JLABS @ Toronto on Wednesday October 11th. Spotlight provides the opportunity to learn more about some of the exciting companies creating scientific breakthroughs at JLABS in Toronto. Mannin is one of four companies that will give candid, informative presentations detailing their executive teams, an overview of their company and highlighting their reasons for joining JLABS.

Mannin Research Inc. will also attend the JLABS CEO Summit on Wednesday October 18th and 19th in San Diego, California. The JLABS CEO Summit provides resident companies at any of the JLABS sites to come together for networking, workshops & seminars, and 1:1 meetings with investors, other JLABS residents, or their JPAL mentor. The goal of the program is to provide JLABS residents with a forum to explore potential areas of partnership with J&J.

We are pleased with the progress Mannin research teams have achieved over the past several months.

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 the duration of 2017 and into 2018. We aim to have a commercial drug on the market by the end of 2017and at least 2 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.

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.

Net loss	$	(3,981,397	)	$	(1,716,065	)

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 fees incurred in connection with the license agreements with Mannin, BNI and Asdera as well as the issuance and conversion of convertible notes.

Other expenses

During the three months ended August 31, 2017, other expenses included approximately $202,000 in interest expense, a gain of $33,000 for the change in fair value of embedded conversion options, approximately $76,000 in loss on the extinguishment of debt. During the three months ended August 31, 2016, other expenses included approximately $115,000 in interest expense, a gain of $50,000 for the change in fair value of embedded conversion options, $28,000 in loss on the issuance of convertible debt, and $29,000 in loss on conversion of debt.

The increase in other expenses were mainly due to the loss in extinguishment of debt and less gain in change in fair value of embedded conversion option.

Net loss

In the three months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, we incurred net losses of approximately $4 million and $1.7 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.

Operating expenses

Other expenses

During the nine months ended August 31, 2017, other expenses included approximately $635,000 in interest expense, $812,000 for the change in fair value of embedded conversion options, approximately $60,000 for the change in fair value of warrant liability, $76,000 in loss on extinguishment of debt, and approximately $365,000 in loss on conversion of debt. During the nine months ended August 31, 2016, other expenses included approximately $305,000 in interest expense, a gain of $362,000 for the change in fair value of embedded conversion options, $481,000 in loss on the issuance of convertible debt, and approximately $89,000 in loss on conversion of debt.

The increase in other expenses were mainly due to interest expense and the change in fair value of embedded conversion option.

Net loss

In the nine months ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, we incurred net losses of approximately $10.4 million and $4.8 million, respectively. Our management expects to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future, due to our need to continue to establish a base of operations 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 $2.5 million in cash as of August 31, 2017. 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 its 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.

Cash Flows

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

	For the nine months ended August 31,
	2017			2016

Net cash (used in) provided by:
Operating activities	$	(3,923,455	)	$	(868,497	)
Financing acitivities		4,953,900			875,075
Net (decrease) increase in cash	$	1,030,445		$	6,578

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $4 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2017 as compared to approximately $869,000 for the nine months ended August 31, 2016. The increase in net cash used in operating activities relates to the net loss of approximately $10.4 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2017, partially offset by aggregate non-cash expenses of approximately $6.4 million. The net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended August 31, 2016 relates to the net loss of approximately $4.8 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2016, partially offset by aggregate non-cash expenses of approximately $3.5 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $5 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2017, resulting mainly from proceeds received from the issuance of convertible notes payable and private placement. Net cash provided by financing activities was $875,000 for the nine months ended August 31, 2016, resulting mainly from proceeds received from the issuance of convertible notes payable.

Commitments and Contingencies

License Agreements

Mannin

Pursuant to the license agreement with Mannin as disclosed in our Annual Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2017, during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2017, we incurred approximately $525,000 and $1.4 million, respectively, in research and development expenses to fund the costs of development of the eye drop treatment for glaucoma pursuant to the Patent and Technology License and Purchase Option Agreement (“Exclusive License”). Through August 31, 2017, we have funded an aggregate of $2.15 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 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 Exclusive License.

During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2017, we incurred approximately $144,000 and $352,500, respectively, in research and development expenses pursuant to the Exclusive License with BNI. As of August 31, 2017, we had paid approximately $351,700 to BNI out of the $850,000 cash funding requirement. We are not obligated to provide further funding to BNI until BNI satisfies all of its pre-existing obligations totaling $163,500. To this end, we had provided an aggregate of approximately $59,000 through August 31, 2017 to BNI to help settle its obligations, which we recognized as research and development expenses in the accompanying Statements of Operations.

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 August 31, 2017. In addition to royalties based upon net sales of the product candidate, if any, we are required to make certain additional payments upon the following milestones:

	the filing of an investigational new drug application (the “IND”) with the US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”);

	successful interim results of Phase II/III clinical trial of the product candidate;

	FDA acceptance of a new drug application;

	FDA approval of the product candidate; and

	achieving certain worldwide net sales.

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
