Vanc Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Formerly Nuva Pharmaceuticals Inc.)
Notes To The Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For The Three Month Period Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Vanc Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Formerly Nuva Pharmaceuticals Inc.) (the Company) was incorporated under the Company Act of British Columbia on May 30, 2000 and is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the Exchange) as NPH and is quoted on the OTC as NUVPF. The address of the Companys corporate office and principal place of business is located at 615 - 800 W. Pender St, Vancouver, BC, V6C 2V6.
The Companys main business activity until October 31, 2011 was the development, production and marketing of infection control agent products, principally a product marketed as T36®. Effective November 26, 2003, the name of the Company was changed from Duft Biotech Capital Ltd. to ALDA Pharmaceuticals Corp. During the year ended June 30, 2012, the Company granted Canadian manufacturing and marketing rights for certain T36® products to a former officer of the Company. On August 12, 2013 the Company again changed its name to Nuva Pharmaceuticals Inc. and subsequent to the year ended June 30, 2014, the Company changed its name to Vanc Pharmaceuticals Inc.
The Company is now focused on the licensing and sales of pharmaceuticals that can be registered as natural products, Over-the-counters and generics.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern which assumes that the Company will continue in operations for the foreseeable future and be able to realize assets and satisfy liabilities in the normal course of business. There are conditions and events, which constitute material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt on the validity of this assumption. The Company has always experienced operating losses and negative operating cash flows. Operations have been funded by the issuance of share capital. Management has estimated that the Company will have adequate funds from existing working capital to meet its corporate, administrative and operational obligations during the upcoming year-ended June 30, 2015.
The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional financing and ultimately attain and maintain profitable operations. To the extent the Company is unable to cover its ongoing cash requirements through operations; the Company expects to raise additional financing to cover any shortfall. There can be no assurance that such financing and profitability will occur in the amounts and with terms expected. During the year-ended June 30, 2013, the Company was successful in raising $800,000 and in April 2014 $375,000 in private placements and has plans to raise additional capital in the subsequent year once raised reserves start to decrease.
In the event that cash flow from operations, if any, together with the proceeds from any future financings are insufficient to meet the Companys current operating expenses, the Company will be required to re-evaluate its planned expenditures and allocate its total resources in such a manner as the Board of Directors and management deems to be in the Companys best interest. This may result in a substantial reduction of the scope of existing and planned operations.
These consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments, which could be material, to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, which may be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs, modified where applicable. The financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.
Significant estimates and judgments
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company to make estimates and judgments concerning the future. The Companys management reviews these estimates and underlying judgments on an ongoing basis, based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates are adjusted for prospectively in the period in which the estimates are revised.
Significant estimates used in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are as follows:
i)
Recoverability of the carrying value of Intangible Assets:
The Company is required to review the carrying value of its intangible assets for potential impairment. Impairment is indicated if the carrying value of the Companys intangible assets is not recoverable. If impairment is indicated, the amount by which the carrying value of intangible assets exceeds the estimated fair value is charged to the statement of loss and comprehensive loss.
Evaluating the recoverability requires judgments in determining whether future economic benefits from sale or otherwise are likely. Evaluation may be more complex where activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the viability of the asset. Management must make certain estimates and assumptions about future events or circumstances including, but not limited to, the interpretation of marketing and sales data as well as the Companys financial ability to continue marketing and sales activities and operations.
ii)
Inputs used in Black Scholes valuation model (volatility; interest rate; expected life and dividend yield) in accounting for Share Purchase Warrant transactions and Options granted:
Estimating the fair value of granted share purchase warrants required determining the most appropriate valuation model which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. The estimate of warrant and option valuation also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the volatility, expected life of warrants and options, risk free interest rate and dividend yield.
iii)
Provision for Contingent Liabilities
Management must estimate the likelihood of a financial obligation arising from a contingent liability if it is deemed more likely than not, that there will be a future cash outflow due to a past event involving the Company. For this estimate, a provision must be made if the amount of the outflow can be reasonably determined.
iv)
Useful life of Equipment
The useful life of equipment is based on management estimates at the time of acquisition. The Company amortizes assets, using declining balance method, over the useful life of the asset. Estimates of residual values, useful lives and amortization methods are reviewed periodically by management. Any changes that arise from periodic reviews are accounted for and adjusted prospectively.
Management must also make significant judgments or assessments as to how financial assets and liabilities are categorized.

3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Significant judgments used in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are as follows:
i)
Going concern
The assessment of the Companys ability to execute its strategy by funding future working capital requirements involves judgment. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances (Note 1).
ii)
Tax interpretations, regulations, and legislation in the various jurisdictions operates are subject to change. The determination of income tax expense and deferred tax involves judgment and estimates as to the future taxable earnings, expected timing of reversals of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and interpretations of laws in the countries in which the Company operates. The Company is subject to assessments by tax authorities who may interpret the tax law differently. Changes in these estimates may materially affect the final amount of deferred taxes or the timing of tax payments.
Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Vanc Marine Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Formerly Nuva Therapeutics Corp.). The subsidiary is an active company, of which the shares were acquired pursuant to an asset purchase agreement. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
Determination of functional currency
The functional currency of the Company is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that the Company operates. The Company determines the functional currency through an analysis of several indicators such as expenses and cash flow, financing activities, retention of operating cash flows, and frequency of transactions with the reporting entity. The Companys functional currency is Canadian dollar.
Transactions and balances
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the relevant functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and loss.
Share-based payments
The Company operates an employee stock option plan. Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortized over the vesting periods. Share-based payments to non- employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The corresponding amount is recorded to the option reserve. The fair value of options is determined using a BlackScholes pricing model which incorporates all market vesting conditions.
The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognized for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.

3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Share Purchase Warrants
The Company has adopted the Black Scholes Valuation model with respect to the measurement of warrants issued as private placement units. This method allocates the proceeds received based on the fair value of the warrants, with any remaining value greater than the warrants fair value being allocated to the common shares. The fair value attributed to the warrants is recorded as contributed surplus. When warrants are exercised, the value is transferred from contributed surplus to capital stock. If the warrants expire unexercised, the related amount remains in contributed surplus.
Earnings/(Loss) per share
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the year. For all years presented, the income/(loss) attributable to common shareholders equals the reported loss attributable to owners of the Company. Diluted loss per share is calculated by the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the calculation of diluted income/(loss) per share assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive share options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the year.
Income taxes
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income / (loss) except to the extent it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current tax
Current tax expense is based on the results for the period as adjusted for items that are not taxable or not deductible. Current tax is calculated using tax rates and laws that were enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. Provisions are established where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred tax
Deferred taxes are the taxes expected to be payable or recoverable on the difference between the carrying amounts of assets in the statement of financial position and their corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and are accounted for using the statement of financial position liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and their corresponding tax bases. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
Deferred tax liabilities:
·
are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences;
·
are recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries except where the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and
·
are not recognized on temporary differences that arise from goodwill which is not deductible for tax purposes.

Deferred tax assets:
·
are recognized to the extent it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the
·
deductible temporary differences can be utilized; and
·
are reviewed at the end of the reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of an asset
Financial instruments
The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, available-for-sale and other financial liabilities. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial instruments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition. All financial assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value at initial recognition.
Financial assets are classified at fair value through profit or loss when they are either held for trading for the purpose of short-term profit taking, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying value being included in profit or loss.
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortized cost. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are classified as non-current assets.
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and it is the Companys intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Held-to-maturity investments are included in non-current assets, except for those which are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period.
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for- sale or are not suitable to be classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables or held-to maturity investments and are subsequently measured at fair value. These are included in current assets to the extent they are expected to be realized within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income, except for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary financial assets.
Other financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortized cost.
Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade-date the date on which the group commits to purchase the asset. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a significant and prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen.
The Company does not have any derivative financial assets and liabilities.

Equipment
Equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Subsequent costs are included in the assets carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statements of comprehensive income/(loss) during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized in the statements of comprehensive income/(loss).
Amortization is calculated on a declining balance method over their estimated useful lives. The Companys equipment, which consists of computer, furniture equipment and leasehold, is amortized at 30%.
Intangible Assets
The carrying values of intangible assets which are determined to have a finite useful life are amortized on a systematic basis over the life of 99 years. Intangible assets are subject to an impairment test on an annual basis, based on a comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset to its carrying value. The carrying value is adjusted for impairment as necessary and any excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the intangible asset is charged to earnings in the period occurred.
Changes in significant accounting policies and adoption of new accounting standards
The following Standards and Interpretations applicable to the Company were issued but not yet effective. Unless otherwise stated, these new accounting standards and amendments will become effective for the annual period beginning on or after July 1, 2013.
i)
IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements, requires an entity to consolidate an investee when it has power over the investee, is exposed, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and IAS 28, Investments in Associates were revised and reissued as IAS 27, Separate Financial Statements and IAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures to align with the new consolidation guidance.
ii)
IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, establishes disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. Matters covered include information about the significant judgments and assumptions that any entity has made in determining whether it has control, joint control or significant influence over another entity.

iii)
IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement, is a comprehensive new standard for fair value measurement and disclosure across all IFRS standards. The new standard clarifies that fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, i.e., an exit price.
Future accounting policy changes issued but not yet in effect
Pronouncements that are not applicable or that do not have a significant impact to the Company have not been included in these consolidated financial statements.
In May 2013, the IASB issued IFRIC 21, Levies (IFRIC 21), an interpretation of IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (IAS 37), on the accounting for levies imposed by governments. IAS 37 sets out criteria for the recognition of a liability, one of which is the requirement for the entity to have a present obligation as a result of a past event (obligating event). IFRIC 21 clarifies that the obligating event that gives rise to a liability to pay a levy is the activity described in the relevant legislation that triggers the payment of the levy. IFRIC 21 is effective for annual periods commencing on or after January 1, 2014. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of applying IFRIC 21, however it does not expect the implementation of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
The IASB intends to replace IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement in its entirety with IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (IFRS 9) and to reduce the complexity in the classification and measurement of financial instruments. The completed version of IFRS 9 will include classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting requirements and the IASB has tentatively decided that the mandatory effective date of this new standard will be for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The Company is currently monitoring the phases of this IASB project with a view to evaluating the impact of the standard when it is issued in its final form, which is expected in calendar 2014.

The Company will not issue additional equity until such time when funds are needed and the market conditions become favorable to the Company. There are no assurances that funds will be made available to the Company when required. The Company makes every effort to safeguard its capital and minimize its dilution to its shareholders.
The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Companys financial instruments include cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, short term loans and promissory notes. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their relatively short periods to maturity. The Companys risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to market conditions and the Companys activities. The Company has exposure to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk as a result of its use of financial instruments.
This note presents information about the Companys exposure to each of the above risks and the Companys objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing these risks. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these financial statements. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Companys risk management framework. The Board has implemented and monitors compliance with risk management policies
a)
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises primarily from the Companys cash and equivalents and accounts receivables. The Companys cash and equivalents are held through a large Canadian financial institution. Cash equivalents are composed of financial instruments issued by Canadian banks with high investment-grade ratings. The Company does not have financial assets that are invested in asset backed commercial paper.
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its accounts receivables, but does not require collateral. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the credit risk applicable to particular customers and historical data.
The Company monitors the concentration of exposure and where possible, if necessary, takes steps to limit exposure to any counterparty. The Company views credit risk on cash deposits and accounts receivables as minimal.
b)
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will incur difficulties meeting its financial obligations as they are due. The Companys approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient
21
Vanc Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Formerly Nuva Pharmaceuticals Inc.)
Notes To The Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For The Three Month Period Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013
liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions without incurring unacceptable losses or risking harm to the Companys reputation.
See Note 1 for working capital balances.
The Company monitors its spending plans, repayment obligations and cash resources and takes actions with the objective of ensuring that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term business requirements. To facilitate its expenditure program, the Company raises funds primarily through public equity financing. The Company anticipates it will have adequate liquidity to fund its financial liabilities through future equity contributions.
As at September 30, 2014, the Companys financial liabilities were comprised of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $70,487 and promissory notes valuing $16,489.
c)
Market risk
Market risk for the Company consists of currency risk, and interest rate risk. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable limits, while maximizing returns.
i)
Currency risk
Foreign currency exchange rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates. As all of the Companys purchases and sales are denominated in Canadian dollars, and has no significant cash balances denominated in foreign currencies, the Company is not exposed to foreign currency exchange risk at this time.
ii)
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that fair values or future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. In respect of financial assets, the Companys policy is to invest cash at floating interest rates and cash reserves are to be maintained in cash equivalents in order to maintain liquidity, while achieving a satisfactory return for shareholders. Fluctuations in interest rates impact marginally on the value of cash and equivalents.
The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk on its short term liabilities, and does not have any long-term liabilities as of September 30, 2014.
d)
Determination of Fair Value
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:
i)
Cash and cash equivalents are measured at fair value. For accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short-term maturity;
ii)
The fair value of promissory notes payable approximate their carrying value as their effective interest rates approximate current market rates;
iii)
The fair value of derivative financial instruments is determined based on fair market valuation methods.

Notes To The Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For The Three Month Period Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013
16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
Level 1:
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities and amounts resulting from direct arms length transactions.
Cash and equivalents are valued using quoted market prices or from amounts resulting from direct arms length transactions. As a result, these financial assets and liabilities have been included in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Level 2:
Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full contractual term. Derivatives are included in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as they are valued using price models. These models require a variety of inputs, including, but not limited to, contractual terms, market prices, forward price curves, yield curves and credit spreads. The Company has no financial instruments at this level
Level 3:
Inputs for the asset or liability are not based on observable market data. Currently the Company has no financial instruments at this level.
17. INCOME TAXES
The Company has non capital loss carry forwards of approximately $9,600,805 which may be carried forward to apply against future year income tax for Canadian income tax purposes, subject to the final determination by taxation authorities, expiring in the following years:

VANC PHARMACEURICALS INC.
(FORMERLY NUVA PHARMACEUTICALS INC)
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED
September 30, 2014
1.01
DATE
This Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is dated November 24, 2014 and should be read in conjunction with the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Vanc Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Formerly Nuva Pharmaceuticals Inc.) (VANC or the Company) for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 and the annual audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2014. All financial information is expressed in Canadian dollars and is prepared using accounting policies in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern which assumes that the Company will continue in operations for the foreseeable future and be able to realize assets and satisfy liabilities in the normal course of business. During the year ended June 30, 2014, the Company was funded $375,000 by the issuance of share capital. The Company has yet to achieve a level of revenues adequate to achieve profitability. The application of the going concern assumption is dependent on managements ability to successfully execute its business plan, to secure sufficient financing, and to develop profitable operations. Additional equity or debt-based financing may be required to continue the Companys operations and pursue product developments.
1.02
OVERALL PERFORMANCE
In 2003, VANC developed a patented infection control formulation, referred to as T36®, a mixture of ethanol containing the anti-microbial ingredients o-phenylphenol (OPP), benzalkonium chloride (BZK), chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) and Nonoxynol-9 (N-9). All of these component chemicals are bio-degradable.
The Company is no longer maintaining patents for the T3/6 product except in Canada and China. The Company is negotiating a joint venture agreement in China for the marketing of this product.
On August 12, 2013, Vanc Pharmaceuticals Inc. trades on the TSX Venture Exchange in Canada under the symbol NPH and on February 23, 2014 on the OTCQB under the symbol NUVPF.
The Company is now focused on the licensing and sales of pharmaceuticals that can be registered as natural products, OTCs and generics.
On April 16, 2014 the Company announced that it has signed Cross Referencing Agreements(CRA) for prescription generic products for Canadian markets. These agreements cover 48 prescription generic products and are for acute and chronic diseases. (See Subsequent Events 1.12)
Sales
There have been no sales during the three month period ended September 30, 2014 (September 30, 2013 - $nil).
Manufacturing
On April 16th, 2014 the company announced that it had signed CRAs with three large pharmaceutical companies for multiple products in the prescription generic drug lines. The suppliers will manufacture and VANC will market and sell these new product lines under its own label.
On August 01, 2013 and on September 11, 2012, the Company entered into agreements with Canagen Pharmaceuticals Inc. that granted Canagen the sole, exclusive right to manufacture Pedia-Safe and FerroHeme or to have Pedia-Safe and FerroHeme manufactured by a third party manufacturer for the Company and/or its sub-licensees, according to any packaging label the Company requires and delivering the Product to any destination required by the Company.

Patents
The Company has abandoned T3/6 patent renewals in Europe, the USA and Australia. It is maintaining the Chinese patent and the Canadian patent, which was assigned in a debt settlement agreement with a former Director.
China
On February 6, 2008, the Company announced that Certificate of Invention Patent Number ZL02829642.7 had been issued by the State Intellectual Property Office of the Peoples Republic of China. The patent provides protection for the composition and production methods for T36® formulation until August 20, 2022. On November 25, 2010 the Company was advised that the above patent became vulnerable to an application for a compulsory license on October 17, 2010. Under Chinese patent practice, it is possible for a third party to apply for the grant of a compulsory license should the invention not have been worked or otherwise been impeded from being worked, three years from the grant of a Patent. This may take into account circumstances where the conditions attached to the licensing of the invention are unreasonable, or the demand for the invention is not reasonably being met. The government body responsible for considering applications for a compulsory license will consider a multitude of factors before granting such a license and there may be mechanisms available for patentees to respond, or comment, on such applications.
Amendments to the original patent application were also drafted by the Company. As in the case of the amendments prepared for CIPO, the proposed amendments to the original Chinese patent application expanded the original claims to include a number of therapeutic applications of the T36® formulation, including its use in cosmetics and in a microbicidal gel to prevent the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). On October 10, 2007, the Company was advised that the amended claims had been submitted to the Chinese Patent Office. On January 30, 2008 the Chinese Patent office assigned Chinese Divisional Patent Application No. 200710142798.3 to the new application which was published in the Chinese Patent Gazette, under Publication No. CN101112624A. On April 13, 2010, the Company received an Office Action from the Chinese Patent Office and a response was filed by the Company prior to the deadline of June 11, 2010. A second Office Action was received on September 23, 2010 and a response was filed prior to the deadline of October 16, 2010. A third Office Action was received by the Company on February 1, 2011. The Company chose not to respond to this Office Action.
Canada
On April 6, 2011, the Company announced in a news release that the Canadian patent had been allowed. The Company allowed the patent to become temporarily abandoned and had it reinstated on October 3, 2012. The company settled debts with a former Officer and Director with the transfer of the T3/6 patent for Canada. Part of the agreement was that the Company would maintain the patent renewals.
Trademarks
T36®
The Company successfully trademarked T36® and the design of the T36® logo in Canada on April 22, 2004 (Registration No. TMA608308) for pharmaceuticals, namely a disinfectant agent.
Pedia-Safe FerroHeme Sennalax
On April 25, 2014 the Company made application to have the above-mentioned three trade-marks registered.

Risk Factors
Limited Operating History
There is no assurance that Vanc will earn profits in the future, or that profitability, if achieved, will be sustained. Operating in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry and the pharmaceutical contract manufacturing industry requires financial resources, and there is no assurance that future revenues will be sufficient to generate the funds required to continue Vanc business development and marketing activities. If Vanc does not have sufficient capital to fund its operations, we may be required to reduce our sales and marketing efforts or forego certain business opportunities.
Development of Technological Capabilities
The market for Vancs products is characterized by changing technology and continuing process development. The future success of Vancs business will depend in large part upon our ability to maintain and enhance the Companys technological capabilities, develop and market products and services which meet changing customer needs and successfully anticipate or respond to technological changes on a cost effective and timely basis. Although we believe that Vancs operations provide the products and services currently required by our customers, there can be no assurance that Vancs process development efforts will be successful or that the emergence of new technologies, industry standards or customer requirements will not render Vancs products or services uncompetitive. If Vanc needs new technologies and equipment to remain competitive, the development, acquisition and implementation of those technologies and equipment may require us to make significant capital investments. Vanc may not be able to raise the required capital on terms satisfactory to Vanc or at all.

Fluctuations in the Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the year can be attributed to trends in expenses.

The year ending June 30, 2013 saw a decline in expenses especially with regards to inventory (there was none), investor relations (there were none), management fees and wages. In addition, the settlement of many liabilities resulted in a gain on liabilities settled of $475,007.
The year ending June 30, 2012 saw a decline in expenses especially with regards to inventory ($177,896), investor relations ($69,877), management fees ($216,273) and wages ($174,378).
The large increase in assets occurred in 2013 and is attributed to a private placement of $800,000.

Additional Financing
There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future to fulfill its business objectives or that the terms of such financing will be favorable. A lack of funds will impair the Companys ability to establish marketing and sales plans once the products have been approved for sale. If adequate financing is not available when required, the Company may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate various activities and may be unable to continue in operation.
The Company may seek such additional financing through debt or equity offerings, which might alter the capital structure of the Company, but there can be no assurance that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. Any equity offering will result in dilution to the ownership interests of the Companys shareholders and may result in dilution to the value of such interests.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The Company’s significant accounting policies are presented in Note 3 of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2014. The preparation of financial statements using accounting policies in compliance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Such estimates may have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. Actual amounts could differ materially from the estimates used and, accordingly, affect the results of the operations.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements also requires management to exercise judgment in the process of applying the accounting policies.
Page 10
Significant estimates used in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are as follows:
i)
Recoverability of the carrying value of Intangible Assets:
The Company is required to review the carrying value of its intangible assets for potential impairment. Impairment is indicated if the carrying value of the Companys intangible assets is not recoverable. If impairment is indicated, the amount by which the carrying value of intangible assets exceeds the estimated fair value is charged to the statement of loss and comprehensive loss.
Evaluating the recoverability requires judgments in determining whether future economic benefits from sale or otherwise are likely. Evaluation may be more complex where activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the viability of the asset. Management must make certain estimates and assumptions about future events or circumstances including, but not limited to, the interpretation of marketing and sales data as well as the Companys financial ability to continue marketing and sales activities and operations.
ii)
Inputs used in Black Scholes valuation model (volatility; interest rate; expected life and dividend yield) in accounting for Share Purchase Warrant transactions and Options granted:
Estimating the fair value of granted share purchase warrants required determining the most appropriate valuation model which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. The estimate of warrant and option valuation also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the volatility, expected life of warrants and options, risk free interest rate and dividend yield.
iii)
Provision for Contingent Liabilities
Management must estimate the likelihood of a financial obligation arising from a contingent liability if it is deemed more likely than not, that there will be a future cash outflow due to a past event involving the Company. For this estimate, a provision must be made if the amount of the outflow can be reasonably determined.
iv)
Useful life of Equipment
The useful life of equipment is based on management estimates at the time of acquisition. The Company amortizes assets, using declining balance method, over the useful life of the asset. Estimates of residual values, useful lives and amortization methods are reviewed periodically by management. Any changes that arise from periodic reviews are accounted for and adjusted prospectively.
Significant judgments used in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are as follows:
i)
Going concern
The assessment of the Companys ability to execute its strategy by funding future working capital requirements involves judgment. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances (Note 1).
ii)
Tax interpretations, regulations, and legislation in the various jurisdictions operates are subject to change. The determination of income tax expense and deferred tax involves judgment and estimates as to the future taxable earnings, expected timing of reversals of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and interpretations of laws in the countries in which the Company operates. The Company is subject to assessments by tax authorities who may interpret the tax law differently. Changes in these estimates may materially affect the final amount of deferred taxes or the timing of tax payments.
1.14 RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Changes in significant accounting policies and adoption of new accounting standards
The Company has not adopted new accounting policies since its recent year ended June 30, 2013. The following Standards and Interpretations applicable to the Company were issued but not yet effective. Unless otherwise stated,
Page 11
these new accounting standards and amendments will become effective for the annual period beginning on or after July 1, 2013.
i)
IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements, requires an entity to consolidate an investee when it has power over the investee, is exposed, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and IAS 28, Investments in Associates were revised and reissued as IAS 27, Separate Financial Statements and IAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures to align with the new consolidation guidance.
ii)
IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, establishes disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. Matters covered include information about the significant judgments and assumptions that any entity has made in determining whether it has control, joint control or significant influence over another entity.
iii)
IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement, is a comprehensive new standard for fair value measurement and disclosure across all IFRS standards. The new standard clarifies that fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, i.e., an exit price.
Accounting standards, not yet effective
Certain pronouncements were issued by the IASB or the IFRIC that are mandatory for accounting periods after April 1, 2014 or later periods. Many are not applicable or do not have a significant impact to the Company and have been excluded from the summary below. The following have not yet been adopted and are being evaluated to determine their impact on the Company.
In May 2013, the IASB issued IFRIC 21, Levies (IFRIC 21), an interpretation of IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (IAS 37), on the accounting for levies imposed by governments. IAS 37 sets out criteria for the recognition of a liability, one of which is the requirement for the entity to have a present obligation as a result of a past event (obligating event). IFRIC 21 clarifies that the obligating event that gives rise to a liability to pay a levy is the activity described in the relevant legislation that triggers the payment of the levy. IFRIC 21 is effective for annual periods commencing on or after January 1, 2014. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of applying IFRIC 21, however it does not expect the implementation of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
The IASB intends to replace IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement in its entirety with IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (IFRS 9) and to reduce the complexity in the classification and measurement of financial instruments. The completed version of IFRS 9 will include classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting requirements and the IASB has tentatively decided that the mandatory effective date of this new standard will be for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The Company is currently monitoring the phases of this IASB project with a view to evaluating the impact of the standard when it is issued in its final form, which is expected in calendar 2014
Segment reporting
A reportable segment, as defined by 'IFRS 8 Operating Segments', is a distinguishable business or geographical component of the Company, which are subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments. The Company considers its primary reporting format to be business segments. The Company considers that it has only one reportable segment, being its operations in Canada.
1.15 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial instruments are initially recognized at their fair value on a settlement date basis when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument or non-financial derivative contract.
Fair Values - Fair value is the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged between willing parties based on current markets for instruments with the same risk, principal and remaining maturity. Fair value estimates are based on present value and other valuation techniques using rates that reflect those that the Company could currently obtain, on the market, for financial instruments with similar terms, conditions and maturities.
The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Page 12
Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, but do not qualify as Level 1 inputs (i.e., quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities).
Level 3 Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
Unless otherwise noted, cash and cash equivalents, GST receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities are stated at amounts that approximate their fair value. The fair values of these instruments approximate their carrying values due to the short term nature of these financial instruments.
This section establishes standards for the recognition, measurement disclosure and presentation of financial instruments. Under the new standard, financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized at fair value and are subsequently measured based on their classification as fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, available-for-sale, or other financial liabilities, as described below:
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) - Financial assets and financial liabilities that are purchased and incurred with the intention of generating profits in the near term are classified as FVTPL. Any financial instrument can be designated as FVTPL as long as its fair value can be reliably measured. These instruments are measured at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value included in earnings.
The Company has classified cash and cash equivalents as FVTPL, which accordingly are carried at their fair values. FVTPL assets are not subject to significant credit, foreign exchange or interest rate risk due to their short term nature.
Held-to-maturity - Financial assets that have a fixed maturity date and fixed or determinable payments, where the Company intends and has the ability to hold the financial asset to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Any gains and losses arising from the sale of held-to-maturity financial assets are included in earnings. Any transaction costs incurred to acquire held-to-maturity financial assets will be included in earnings. Currently, the Company has no held-to-maturity financial assets.
Loans and receivables - Items classified as loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Any gains or losses on the realization of loans and receivables are included in earnings. Any transaction costs incurred to acquire loans and receivables financial instruments will be included in earnings. The Company has classified GST receivable as loans and receivables.
Available-for-sale - Available-for-sale assets are those financial assets that are not classified as held-for-trading, held-to-maturity or loans or receivables, and are carried at fair value. Any unrealized gains or losses arising from the change in fair value are recorded as other comprehensive income. Available-for-sale securities are written down to fair value through earnings whenever it is necessary to reflect other-than-temporary impairment. Cumulative gains and losses arising upon the sale of the instrument are included in earnings. Any transaction costs incurred to acquire available-for-sale financial assets will be included in earnings. Currently, the Company has no available-for-sale financial assets.
Other financial liabilities - Financial liabilities that are not classified as held-to-maturity are classified as other financial liabilities, and are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Any gains or losses arising from the realization of other financial liabilities are included in earnings.
The Company has classified accounts payable and accrued liabilities, sponsorship liability and promissory notes as other financial instruments, which are accordingly carried at amortized cost. Due to their short-term natures, the fair values of other financial liabilities approximate their carrying values, and they are not subject to significant credit, foreign exchange or interest rate risk.
The Company has made the following classifications:
| |
Cash and equivalents
| Fair value through profit or loss
|
Accounts receivable
| Loans and receivables
|
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities
| Other financial liabilities
|
Sponsorship liability
| Other financial liabilities
|
Promissory Notes
| Other financial liabilities

The Companys risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to market conditions and the Companys activities. The Company has exposure to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk as a result of its use of financial instruments.
This note presents information about the Companys exposure to each of the above risks and the Companys objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing these risks. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these financial statements. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Companys risk management framework. The Board has implemented and monitors compliance with risk management policies.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises primarily from the Companys cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, and GST input tax credits.
The Companys cash and equivalents are held through a large Canadian financial institution. Cash equivalents are composed of financial instruments issued by Canadian banks with high investment-grade ratings. The Company does not have financial assets that are invested in asset backed commercial paper.
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its trade receivables, but does not require collateral. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the credit risk applicable to particular customers and historical data.
The Company monitors the concentration of exposure and where possible, if necessary, takes steps to limit exposures to any counterparty. The Company views credit risk on cash deposits, trade receivables, and GST input tax credits as minimal.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will incur difficulties meeting its financial obligations as they are due. The Companys approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions without incurring unacceptable losses or risking harm to the Companys reputation. See Note 1 for working capital balances.
The Company monitors its spending plans, repayment obligations and cash resources and takes actions with the objective of ensuring that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term business requirements. To facilitate its expenditure program, the Company raises funds primarily through public equity financing. The Company anticipates it will have adequate liquidity to fund its financial liabilities through future equity contributions.
As at September 30, 2014, the Companys financial liabilities were comprised of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $70,487 and Promissory Notes valuing $16,489.
Market risk
Market risk for the Company consists of currency risk, and interest rate risk. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable limits, while maximizing returns.
Currency risk
Foreign currency exchange rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates. As all of the Companys purchases and sales are denominated in Canadian dollars, and has no significant cash balances denominated in foreign currencies, the Company is not exposed to foreign currency exchange risk at this time.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that fair values or future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. In respect of financial assets, the Companys policy is to invest cash at floating interest rates and cash reserves are to be maintained in cash equivalents in order to maintain liquidity, while achieving a satisfactory return for shareholders. Fluctuations in interest rates impact marginally on the value of cash and equivalents.
Page 14
Determination of fair value
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:
i) For cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short-term maturity;
ii) The fair value of notes payable and obligations under capital lease approximate their carrying value as their effective interest rates approximate current market rates;
iii) The fair value of derivative financial instruments is determined based on fair market valuation methods.
