VANC Pharmaceuticals Announces Appointment of Mr. Bob Rai to

 its Board of Directors

 

June 05, 2015 – VANC Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“VANC” or the “Company”), a pharmaceutical company focused on the Canadian generic drug and over-the-counter (the “OTC”) markets, is pleased to announce that Mr.Bob Rai has been appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors effective immediately.  Mr. Rai is a pharmacist with over 15 years of experience and is partner in a chain of The Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy (www.pharmacybc.com).

 

“We are excited to have someone with Mr. Rai’s industry experience, track record as an entrepreneur and global pedigree join our board.  We welcome him to our growing team and eagerly await his input on the strategic direction of our Company,” said Arun Nayyar, CEO of VANC.  “As we begin the commercialization of our product portfolio it is crucial that our team be optimized and Mr. Rai’s direct experience in the Canadian retail and institutional pharmacy business is going to be an immediate value add and impactful addition for the Company.”

 

Mr. Rai is a graduate of the University of British Columbia with Bachelor of Science Degrees in Biochemistry and Pharmaceutical Science.  In addition to operating a chain of The Medicine Shoppe Pharmacies in Greater Vancouver for the past 15 years, he has had several successful entrepreneurial and charitable endeavors.  In 1998 Mr. Rai and his partners pioneered and revolutionized the online pharmacy business to the United States.  The online sales and distribution of prescription medicines saw unprecedented industry growth and as other operators followed suit, the unique business concept became a billion dollar industry across Canada.

 

Mr. Rai is also Chairman and CEO of Canada Pacific Global Pharmaceuticals and Chairman of its subsidiary, PharmaCanada Inc. (www.earlycancerdetect.com).  He has served as President of the Philippines Canada Trade Council (PCTC) from 2006-2007 and held the position of Vice-President from 2004-2006.  As President of PCTC, he led a successful Trade Mission to Manila with endorsements from His Excellency Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Honorable Premier Gordon Campbell of British Columbia and Minister of International Trade and Industry of Canada David Emerson.

 

In 2013 Mr. Rai was the recipient of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal for his over 18 years of community and volunteer work.  His charitable and community volunteer activities include: Alumni UBC Advisory Council representing the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Science, Director of Tapestry Foundation for Health Care, Rotary Club of Vancouver Fraserview and cabinet member of “A Night of Miracles” for BC Children’s Hospital.

 

“I am impressed with how far VANC has come as a startup in a highly competitive industry and commend the existing team for building a product portfolio, registering it with Health Canada and rolling it out commercially in such a cost and time efficient manner.  I look forward to working with the team and helping them with governance, technology, product acquisition and accelerating sales,” said Mr. Bob Rai.

1.01

DATE


This Management Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is dated May 27, 2015 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 and nine month period ended March 31, 2015 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. The Company has yet to achieve revenues however it anticipates commercializing products during its fourth quarter of operations in 2015. The application of the going concern assumption is dependent on management’s ability to successfully execute its business plan and to develop profitable operations. The Company does not foresee any additional equity financing requirements as sufficient funds were raised in the Quarter to fund the current business operations.



1.02

OVERALL PERFORMANCE


During the year ended June 30, 2014, the Company announced that it had signed Cross Referencing Agreements (“CRA”) for 48 generic products to be sold within the Canadian market.  During Q2 and Q3 of fiscal 2015, the Company had received Notice of Compliance (NOC) from Health Canada for 30 of the 48 products with an additional 5 products expected in Q4 of 2015.

Sales

There have been no sales during the nine month period ended March 31, 2015 (March 31, 2014 - $nil).

These 22 molecules will comprise of 51 dosage forms across various therapeutic categories; including both chronic (long term) therapy and acute (short term) therapy.  The Notice of Compliance from Health Canada provides the authorization for VANC to market and sell the generic molecules in Canada.

OVERALL PERFORMANCE (continued)


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 requires substantial 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, the Company may be required to reduce sales and marketing efforts or forego certain business opportunities.


Development of Technological Capabilities


The market for VANC’s products is characterized by changing technology and continuing process development. The future success of VANC’s business will depend in large part upon our ability to maintain and enhance the Company’s 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 VANC’s operations provide the products and services currently required by our customers, there can be no assurance that VANC’s process development efforts will be successful or that the emergence of new technologies, industry standards or customer requirements will not render VANC’s 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.

The year ending June 30, 2014 saw an increase in expenses, especially with regards to: management fees, research, stock based compensation and travel.  The management fee increase is due to the company hiring a full time CEO in November 2013.  The increase in travel was due to business meetings in Toronto/India to meet with potential customers/manufacturers of company products.


The Company also signed a consultant as a regulatory analyst to help with Health Canada filings and other product registration issues.  The company expects its expenses to continue increasing as it registers more products with Health Canada and heads towards commercialization of its products.

1.05         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


For the Three Month Period Ended March 31, 2015


Consulting & Management

Consulting and management fees for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 were $67,234 compared to $64,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2014. This small increase is a result of the addition of a fulltime CFO.


Filing and Transfer Agent Fees

Fees amounted to $28,955 for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 compared to $15,236 for the same period ended March 31, 2014.  The difference was a result of an increase in press release filing fees.  The Company also had a significant amount of share capital transactions in the quarter which resulted in additional TSX Venture fees.  


Legal and Accounting Fees

Legal and accounting fees were $1,250 for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 compared to $12,313 for the same period ended March 31, 2014.  This decrease is due to no legal fees in the current quarter.   


Product Registration and Development Costs

Total costs incurred in this category for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 were $4,027, compared to $nil for the period ended March 31, 2014. Costs incurred in this category consist primarily of fees paid to maintain the Company’s trademarks as well as the costs incurred to file products with Health Canada.   

 

Stock Based Compensation

Stock based Compensation expenses were $258,096 for the three month period ended March 31, 2015, compared to $120,000 for the period ended March 31, 2014.  This increase is as expected due to the increase in options granted and options vesting.  


Comprehensive Loss from Operations

The Comprehensive loss from operations was $461,098 for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 compared to a loss of $234,488 during the same three month period ended March 31, 2014.  This increase is as expected due to significant increase in stock based compensation expense, increase in rent due to new office space and additional filing and transfer agent fees.


For the Nine Month Period Ended March 31, 2015


Consulting & Management

Consulting and management fees for the nine month period ended March 31, 2015 were $214,833 compared to $140,333 for the nine month period ended March 31, 2014.  The significant increase is due to an increase in Executive compensation as well as the addition of a full time CFO.   

 

Filing and Transfer Agent Fees

Fees amounted to 63,242 for the nine month period ended March 31, 2015 compared to $31,087 for the same period ended March 31, 2014.   This was due to significant increase in public news releases and capital transactions which resulted in filing fees with the TSX Exchange.


Legal and Accounting Fees

Legal and accounting fees were $5,665 for the nine month period ended March 31, 2015 compared to $31,036 for the same period ended March 31, 2014.  This difference was due to legal fees which were charged in 2014 for due diligence on products the company was in-licensing.

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.  


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 Company’s 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 Company’s financial ability to continue marketing and sales activities and operations.


Management has determined that there are no indicators of impairment over its intangible asset.

1.12

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES (continued)


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.


During the nine month period ending March 31, 2015 and the year ended June 30, 2014, management measured and recorded the following fair values relating to warrants and options issued and granted using the Black Sholes valuation model:

  Agent warrants

 

 

67,533

47,567

 

 

 

 

 


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. There have been no contingent liabilities.


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.


Amortization is calculated on a declining balance method over their estimated useful lives. The Company’s equipment, which consists of computer, furniture equipment and leasehold, is amortized at 30% and for the nine month period ended March 31, 2015, resulted in amortization expense of $6,955 (March 31, 2014 - $nil).


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 Company’s 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.



      Page 13

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



[ex994003.gif]


1.12

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES (continued)


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.


ii)

Deferred Taxes


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.


The deferred tax assets have not been recognized because at this stage of the Company’s development, it is not determinable that future taxable profit will be available against which the Company can utilize such deferred tax assets.


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.



1.13       RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS


Accounting standards recently adopted


The Company has applied the following standards in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements which were effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2014:  


Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets (Amendments to IAS 36) Amends IAS 36 Impairment of Assets to reduce the circumstances in which the recoverable amount of assets or cash-generating units is required to be disclosed, clarify the disclosures required, and to introduce an explicit requirement to disclose the discount rate used in determining impairment (or reversals) where recoverable amount (based on fair value less costs of disposal) is determined using a present value technique. The application of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements.


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.



      Page 14

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



[ex994003.gif]



1.13       RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (continued)


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 2015.



1.14       FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s exposure to each of the above risks and the Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivables. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held through a large Canadian financial institution. The cash equivalent is composed of a guaranteed investment certificate and is issued by a Canadian bank with high investment-grade ratings. The Company does not have financial assets that are invested in asset backed commercial paper.


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 Company’s 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 Company’s reputation.


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 March 31, 2015, the Company’s financial liabilities were comprised of accounts payable of $50,425.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



[ex994003.gif]


1.14       FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)


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 Company’s purchases 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 Company’s 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 March 31, 2015.


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.

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 16

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



[ex994003.gif]


1.14       FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (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 arm’s length transactions.


Cash and cash equivalents are valued using quoted market prices or from amounts resulting from direct arm’s 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.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures


Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decision-making regarding required disclosures. The Company’s CEO and CFO have concluded that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and MD&A (the “filings”) have been disclosed and fairly presented in the filings and that processes are in place to provide them with sufficient knowledge to support such representation. However, a control system, no matter how well conceived, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.


(d)

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


The management of VANC is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting (“ICFR”) to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.


Management has evaluated the design of its ICFR as defined in Regulation 52-109 – Certification of Disclosure in Issuer’s annual and Interim Filings. The evaluation was based on the criteria established in the “Internal Control –Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (1992) (“COSO”). This evaluation was performed by the CEO and CFO of the Company. Based on this evaluation, CEO and CFO concluded that the ICFR were effectively designed as at March 31, 2015.


ICFR cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives due to its inherent limitations. ICFR is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to error, collusion, or improper override. Due to such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. It is possible to design into the Company’s financial reporting process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

NOTE TO READER

 

In contrast to the certificate required for non-venture issuers under National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers Annual and Interim Filings (NI 52-109), this Venture Issuer Basic Certificate does not include representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of disclosure controls and procedures (DC&P) and internal control over financial reporting (ICFR), as defined in NI 52-109. In particular, the certifying officers filing this certificate are not making any representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of

 

i) controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in securities legislation; and

 

ii) a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with the issuers GAAP.

 

The issuers certifying officers are responsible for ensuring that processes are in place to provide them with sufficient knowledge to support the representations they are making in this certificate.  Investors should be aware that inherent limitations on the ability of certifying officers of a venture issuer to design and implement on a cost effective basis DC&P and ICFR as defined in NI 52-109 may result in additional risks to the quality, reliability, transparency and timeliness of interim and annual filings and other reports provided under securities legislation.
