Notes to the condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019
|
(Stated in United States dollars)
|
1. Nature of operations and going concern
Zomedica Pharmaceuticals Corp. ("Zomedica" or the “Company”)
was incorporated on January 7, 2013 under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) as Wise Oakwood Ventures Inc. (“WOW”)
and was classified as a capital pool company, as defined in Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange. ZoMedica Pharmaceuticals Inc.
was incorporated on May 14, 2015 under the Canada Business Corporations Act.
On April 21, 2016, the Company closed its qualifying transaction
(“Transaction”), consisting of the acquisition of ZoMedica Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“ZoMedica”) pursuant to
a three-cornered amalgamation, whereby ZoMedica was amalgamated with 9674128 Canada Inc. (which was wholly-owned by WOW) and common
shares and options of the Company were issued to former holders of ZoMedica securities as consideration. The amalgamated company
changed its name to Zomedica Pharmaceuticals Ltd. and WOW subsequently changed its name to Zomedica Pharmaceuticals Corp. Prior
to completion of the Transaction, WOW consolidated its common shares on the basis of the one post-consolidation common share for
every 2.5 pre-consolidation common shares. The Transaction constituted WOW’s qualifying transaction under TSX Venture Exchange
Policy 2.4 – Capital Pool Companies. The shares of Zomedica Pharmaceuticals Corp. began trading on the TSX Venture
Exchange under the new symbol “ZOM” on Monday, May 2, 2016. On June 21, 2016, the Company filed Articles of Amalgamation
and vertically amalgamated with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Zomedica Pharmaceuticals Ltd. On February 10, 2020 the Company voluntarily
delisted from the TSX-V.
Zomedica has one corporate subsidiary, Zomedica Pharmaceuticals,
Inc., a Delaware company whose results and operations are included in these consolidated financial statements. We are a development
stage veterinary health company focused on creating point-of-care diagnostic platforms for use by veterinarians treating companion
animals by focusing on the unmet needs of clinical veterinarians. Zomedica's head office is located at 100 Phoenix Drive, Suite
180, Ann Arbor, MI 48108 and its registered office is located at 3400, 350-7th Ave SW, Calgary, AB, T2P 3N9.
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently
in the condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. The condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements
do not include all of the information required for annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with
the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
for the year ending December 31, 2020.

financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Basis of consolidation
These condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned operating subsidiary, Zomedica Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Significant accounting policies
|
Use of estimates
The preparation of the condensed unaudited interim consolidated
financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”)
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Areas where significant judgment is involved
in making estimates are, the determination of fair value of stock-based compensation, the useful lives of property and equipment,
allocation of proceeds from financings to shares and warrants, fair value of placement agent warrants and forecasting future cash
flows for assessing the going concern assumption.
Basis of measurement
The condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements
have been prepared on the historical cost basis except as otherwise noted.
Functional and reporting currencies
The Company’s and subsidiary’s functional currency,
as determined by management, is US dollars, which is also the Company’s reporting currency.
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently
to all periods and companies presented in the condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
Research and development
Research and development costs related to continued research and
development programs are expensed as incurred in accordance with ASC topic 730.
Share issue costs
Share issue costs are recorded as a reduction of the proceeds from
the issuance of capital stock.

|
Significant accounting policies (continued)
|
Translation of foreign currencies
In respect of other transactions denominated
in currencies other than the Company and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries’ functional currencies, the monetary assets
and liabilities are remeasured at the period end rates. Revenue and expenses are measured at rates of exchange prevailing on the
transaction dates. All of the exchange gains or losses resulting from these other transactions are recognized in the condensed
unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Stock-based compensation
The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions by
reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted if the fair value of the goods or services
received by the Company cannot be reliably estimated.
The Company calculates stock-based compensation using the fair value
method, under which the fair value of the options at the grant date is calculated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model,
and subsequently expensed over the vesting period of the option using the graded vesting method. The provisions of the Company's
stock-based compensation plans do not require the Company to settle any options by transferring cash or other assets, and therefore
the Company classifies the awards as equity. Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value
of stock-based payment awards that are ultimately expected to vest.
The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revised,
if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
Loss per share
Basic loss per share (“EPS”)
is computed by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through the exercise or conversion of
stock options, restricted stock awards, warrants and convertible securities. In certain circumstances, the conversion of options
is excluded from diluted EPS if the effect of such inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
The dilutive effect of stock options is determined using the treasury
stock method. Stock options to purchase common shares of the Company during the period were not included in the computation of
diluted EPS because the Company has incurred a loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 as the effect would be anti-dilutive.
Comprehensive loss
The Company follows ASC topic 220. This statement establishes standards
for reporting and display of comprehensive (loss) income and its components. Comprehensive loss is net loss plus certain items
that are recorded directly to shareholders' equity. The Company has no other comprehensive loss items.

Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty
|
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S.
GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts
of assets and liabilities, and revenue and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience
and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making
the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results
may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing
basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects
only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current and future periods.
Critical areas of estimation and judgements in applying accounting
policies include the following:
Going concern
These condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and discharge
of liabilities in the normal course of business within the foreseeable future. Management uses judgment in determining assumptions
for cash flow projections, such as anticipated financing, anticipated sales and future commitments to assess the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern.
Stock-based payments
The Company estimates the fair value of convertible securities such
as options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model which requires significant estimation around assumptions and inputs such
as expected term to maturity, expected volatility and expected dividends.
Useful lives of property and equipment
The Company reviews the estimated useful lives of property and equipment
with definite useful lives at the end of each year and assesses whether the useful lives of certain items should be shortened or
extended, due to various factors including technology, competition and revised service offerings. During the three and six months
ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company was not required to adjust the useful lives of any assets based on the factors described
above. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset
may not be recoverable.
The impact of the novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”)
Since December 31, 2019, the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus,
specifically identified as “COVID-19”, has resulted in the World Health Organization declaring this virus a global
pandemic in March 2020. Governments around the world have enacted emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures,
which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing and closure of businesses
have caused material disruption to businesses resulting in an economic slowdown. Governments and central banks have responded with
significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize the financial markets. A critical estimate for the Company
is to assess the impact of the pandemic on the recoverability of long-lived assets as well as the availability of future financing
in assessing the going concern assumption.

(Stated in United States dollars)

On October 17, 2017, the Company entered into a loan arrangement
with a shareholder of the Company, pursuant to which such shareholder has agreed to provide a loan facility to the Company, whereby
the Company may borrow up to $5,000,000, with the proceeds to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The term
of the loan facility is five (5) years, with principal and interest payments being due only at the time of maturity. Under the
loan agreement, the Company may borrow in one or more advances, provided however that a minimum amount of $250,000 must be borrowed
at any one time and not more than two advances may occur per month. Interest shall accrue at a rate of fourteen percent (14%) per
annum, payable upon maturity. As of June 30, 2020, no amounts have been borrowed.
In April of 2020, the Company received $527,360 from the SBA’s
Paycheck Protection Program. The receipt is currently reported in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. If the loan is required
to be repaid it will be granted a two-year term at 1% interest.
The Company is authorized to issue 20 shares of Series 1 Preferred
Shares, all without par value, and each having a stated value of $1,000,000. The Series 1 Preferred Shares do not have voting rights
except to the extent required by applicable law and are not convertible into the Company’s common shares. Holders of the
Series 1 Preferred Shares will not be entitled to dividends but, in lieu thereof, will receive Net Sales Payments (“Net Sales
Payments” is defined as annual payments equal to 9 percent of sales) until such time as the holders have received total Net
Sales Payments equal to 9 times the aggregate stated value of the outstanding Series 1 Preferred Shares. The Company will have
the right to redeem the outstanding Series 1 Preferred Shares at any time at a redemption price equal to 9 times the aggregate
stated value of the Series 1 Preferred Shares outstanding less the aggregate amount of the Net Sales Payments paid (the “Redemption
Amount”).
Upon any dissolution, liquidation or winding up, whether voluntary
or involuntary, holders of Series 1 Preferred Shares will be entitled to a liquidation preference equal to the stated value of
the Series 1 Preferred Shares less the Net Sales Payments paid on the Series 1 Preferred Shares.
In the event of a fundamental transaction (defined to include an
amalgamation, merger or other business combination transaction involving our company in which our shareholders do not have the
right to cast more than 50% of the votes that may be cast for the election of directors, or a sale, lease or other disposition
of the properties and/or assets of our company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to a third party), the holders of
the Series 1 Preferred Shares will be entitled to receive consideration for their Series 1 Preferred Shares equal to a multiple
of the stated value of the Series 1 Preferred Shares ranging from 5.0 to 9.0 depending on the timing of the fundamental transaction,
subject to a cap equal to the redemption amount. The Company has assessed the likelihood of any Net Sales Payments to the Series
1 Preferred shareholders to be remote.

|
|
|
|
|
|
•

chosen. The fourth milestone payment has not been met.
On May 10, 2018, the Company entered into a Development, Commercialization
and Exclusive Distribution Agreement. As part of the agreement, the Company is required to make the following future milestone
payments:
|
•
|
1st payment: $3,500,000 in cash payment upon the achievement
of future development milestones
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
2nd payment: $3,500,000 in equity based on the number of the Company’s common stock determined by dividing the amount due by the
volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE American exchange over the 10 trading days prior to the
achievement of the milestone event.
|
|
|
|
|
As of June 30, 2020, neither of the future
development milestones related to the above agreement have been met.
On November 1, 2019, Heska Corporation
(“Heska”) filed a complaint for damages and injunctive relief (the “Complaint”) in the United States District
Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, Case 1:19-cv-01108-LCB-JLW, against Qorvo US, Inc. (“Qorvo US”), Qorvo
Biotechnologies, LLC (“Qorvo Biotech” and, together with Qorvo US, “Qorvo”) and the Company (collectively
with Qorvo, the “Defendants”). The Complaint alleges, among other things, that the Defendants improperly obtained Heska’s
trade secrets and confidential information and/or conspired to use improper means to misappropriate Heska’s trade secrets
related to an instrument and related consumable products for performing immunoassay analysis of biomarkers and other substances.
The Complaint seeks compensatory and exemplary damages, as well as preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent the Defendants
from commercializing the Company’s TRUFORMATM diagnostic instrument. On January 21, 2020, the Defendants filed a motion seeking
dismissal of the Complaint. On February 11, 2020, Heska filed its response to the Defendants’ motion to dismiss to which
the Defendants responded on February 25, 2020. The Court has not yet ruled on Defendants’ motion to dismiss, and the litigation
remains stayed pending a ruling on that motion. The Company believes that the allegations in the Complaint have no merit and will
not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations or financial condition. Under the terms
of the Development and Supply Agreement, dated November 26, 2018, by and between Qorvo Biotech and the Company (the “Qorvo
Agreement”), Qorvo Biotech agreed to indemnify the Company and certain related parties against claims alleging infringement
or misappropriation of third-party intellectual property rights, subject to certain limitations and exceptions. Qorvo Biotech has
notified the Company that Qorvo Biotech has assumed the defense of the Complaint and will indemnify the Company for losses arising
from the Complaint in accordance with the terms of the Qorvo Agreement. Qorvo Biotech has further advised the Company that it intends
to mount a vigorous defense to the claims in the Complaint, and that it believes the allegations contained in the Complaint are
without merit.

Financial instruments
|
The Company follows ASC topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements”
which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
The provisions of ASC topic 820 apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. ASC topic
820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price)
in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at
the measurement date; and establishes a three level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs
to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. Inputs refers broadly to the assumptions that market participants
would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. To increase consistency and comparability in fair
value measurements and related disclosures, the fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure
fair value into three broad levels. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019
|
(Stated in United States dollars)
|
|
16.
|
Financial instruments (continued)
|
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets
for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within
Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the financial
instrument.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for asset or liabilities.
The categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon
the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
|
(i)
|
The Company calculates expected volatility based on historical volatility of the Company’s peer group that is publicly
traded for options.
|
An increase/decrease in the volatility would have resulted in an
increase/decrease in the fair value of the options.
The carrying values of cash, tax credit and other receivables, accounts
payable and accrued liabilities and shareholder loans payable approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of
these instruments.
|
(b)
|
Interest rate and credit risk
|
Interest rate risk is the risk that the
value of a financial instrument might be adversely affected by a change in interest rates. The Company does not believe that the
results of operations or cash flows would be affected to any significant degree by a sudden change in market interest rates, relative
to interest rates on cash and cash equivalents, due to the short-term nature of these balances.
The Company is also exposed to credit risk at period end from the
carrying value of its cash. The Company manages this risk by maintaining bank accounts with a Canadian Chartered Bank. The Company’s
cash is not subject to any external restrictions.
|
(c)
|
Foreign exchange risk
|
The Company has balances in Canadian dollars that give rise to exposure
to foreign exchange (“FX”) risk relating to the impact of translating certain non-U.S. dollar balance sheet accounts
as these statements are presented in U.S. dollars. A strengthening U.S. dollar will lead to a FX loss while a weakening U.S. dollar
will lead to a FX gain. For each Canadian dollar balance of $1.0 million, a +/- 10% movement in the Canadian currency held
by the Company versus the U.S. dollar would affect the Company’s loss and other comprehensive loss by $0.1 million.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty
raising liquid funds to meet commitments as they fall due. In meeting its liquidity requirements, the Company closely monitors
its forecasted cash requirements with expected cash drawdown.
The following are the contractual maturities of the undiscounted
cash flows of financial liabilities as at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Notes to the condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements
|
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019
|
(Stated in United States dollars)
|
On July 7, 2020 the Company completed a $30,000,000 public offering
of its common shares or common share equivalent (“Series D pre-funded warrants”), and warrants (“Series D Warrants”)
in a fixed combination of one common share or pre-funded warrant and a Series D Warrant to purchase one common share, resulting
in the sale of 162,500,000 common shares, 25,000,000 Series D pre-funded warrants, and Series D Warrants to purchase 187,500,000
common shares at a combined offering price of $0.16 per share for the common shares and related Series D warrants or a combined
offering price of $0.1599 per pre-funded warrant and related Series D warrant. Each Series D pre-funded warrant has an exercise
price of $0.0001 per share, is exercisable immediately after issuance, is exercisable only on a cashless exercise basis, and will
not expire prior to exercise. Each Series D Warrant has an exercise price of $0.16 per share, is exercisable immediately after
issuance and has a term of 2 years.
As part of this transaction, one of the
Company’s directors purchased 625,000 shares for $100,000 and received Series D Warrants to purchase an additional 625,000
common shares.
As of July 20, 2020, all the Series D pre-funded warrants have
all been exercised.
23. Comparative figures
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year
presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. Adjustments have been made to the consolidated
schedule of expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, to classify health insurance benefits as part of salaries,
wages and bonuses and audit fees to professional fees. This change in classification does not affect previously reported cash flows
from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

or be achieved or accomplished.
Overview
We are a development
stage veterinary diagnostic company focused on creating point-of-care diagnostic platforms for use by veterinarians treating companion
animals (canine, feline, and equine) by focusing on the unmet needs of clinical veterinarians. We believe that our diagnostic platforms
have the potential to significantly improve the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases affecting companion animals. We believe
that there are significant unmet medical needs for point-of-care diagnostic tools for use on pets, and that the pet diagnostic
segment of the animal health industry is likely to grow substantially as new diagnostic tools and treatments are identified, developed,
and marketed specifically for companion animals.
Our strategic focus
is on the final development and commercialization of our TRUFORMA™ diagnostic biosensor platform and the first five assays
for the detection of adrenal and thyroid disorders in cats and dogs. The TRUFORMA™ platform uses Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW)
technology to provide a non-optical and fluorescence free detection system for use at the point-of-care. We believe that BAW technology
will enable precise and repeatable test results at the point-of-care during a typical veterinary appointment. We believe that the
TRUFORMA™ diagnostic platform does not require pre-market regulatory approval for use with companion animals in the United
States.
In our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, we stated the following expectations with respect to our TRUFORMA™ platform:
•
|
verification of TRUFORMA’s™ five initial assays was expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2020;
|
|
|
•
|
our goal was to complete validation of TRUFORMA’s™ five initial assays by the end of the second quarter of 2020; and
|
|
|
•
|
we expected to commence commercialization of the five initial assays in select strategic markets by the end of 2020.
|
However, the COVID-19
pandemic has impacted our expected timing for the development and commercialization of our TRUFORMA™ platform and the five
initial assays due to a number of factors, including the following:
|
·
|
our development partner significantly
has reduced the number of employees working in its facilities which has delayed the completion of the verification of the five
initial TRUFORMA™ assays and the manufacturing of commercial quantities of the TRUFORMA™ platform and the related assays;
|
|
·
|
veterinary hospitals and clinics that
had agreed to participate in the validation of our initial TRUFORMA™ assays have, at times, either shut down or limited their
operations to those involving only life-threatening conditions; and,
|
|
·
|
potential customers have restricted access
to their facilities which will affect our ability to perform on-site demonstrations and other marketing activities.
|
Following the commercial
launch of TRUFORMA™, we expect to expand our TRUFORMA™ assay offerings and to continue the development of our second
point- of-care diagnostic platform based on miniaturized laser-based Raman spectroscopy technology designed to detect pathogens
in companion animals. We believe this platform will enable the identification of biological and biochemical signatures in complex
biological samples and has the potential to achieve reference lab sensitivity/specificity to screen for a wide range of pathogens
in companion animal feces, urine, respiratory, and dermatological samples in minutes without the need for extensive sample prep
or the use of reagents. This pathogen diagnostic platform requires a small fecal sample preparation. Additionally, the platform
has automated analysis and does not require specialized staff training. Because we are focused on the development and commercialization
of the TRUFORMA™ platform, we have deferred work on this pathogen diagnostic platform. We believe that this pathogen diagnostic
platform does not require pre-market regulatory approval for use with companion animals in the United States.
We have performed
initial development work on a circulating tumor cell (CTC) “liquid biopsy” platform for use in a reference lab setting
as a canine cancer diagnostic. This platform is intended for use to detect canine cancers faster, more affordably and less invasively
compared to existing methods, which can be expensive and cost-prohibitive for pet owners. We have worked on the development of
an assay for use with this platform that targets hard-to-diagnose canine cancers, such as hemangiosarcoma and osteosarcoma.
We are a development-stage
company with no products approved for marketing and sale, and we have not generated any revenue. We have incurred significant net
losses since our inception. We incurred net losses of $5,307,990 and $7,758,607 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020
and loss of $2,404,427 and $14,081,337 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. These losses have resulted principally
from costs incurred in connection with investigating and developing our product candidates, research and development activities,
and general and administrative costs associated with our operations. As of June 30, 2020, we had an accumulated deficit of $59,816,448
and cash and cash equivalents of $29,103,049.
For the foreseeable
future, we expect to continue to incur losses, which will increase significantly from historical levels as we expand our product
development activities, commercialize the resulting products if they do not require U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center
for Veterinary Medicine, or FDA-CVM, pre-market approval, and seek regulatory approvals for our product candidates where required
from the FDA-CVM or the United States Department of Agriculture Center for Veterinary Biologics, or the USDA-CVB.
For further information
on the regulatory, business and product pipeline, please see the “Business” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
For further information on the risk factors we face, please see the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on
Form 10-K and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Revenue
We do not have any
products approved for sale, have not generated any revenue from product sales since our inception and do not expect to generate
any revenue from the sale of products in the near future. If our development efforts result in clinical success or collaboration
agreements with third parties for any of our product candidates, we may generate revenue from those product candidates.
Operating Expenses
The majority of our
operating expenses to date have been for the general and administrative activities related to general business activities, capital
market activities and stock-based compensation, and research and development activities related to the development of our product
candidates.
Research and Development Expense
All costs of research
and development are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Research and development costs primarily consist of salaries
and related expenses for personnel, fees paid to consultants, outside service providers, professional services, travel costs and
materials used in clinical trials and research and development.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative
expense consists primarily of personnel costs, including salaries, related benefits and stock-based compensation for employees,
consultants and directors. General and administrative expenses also include rent and other facilities costs and professional and
consulting fees for legal, accounting, tax services and other general business services.
Professional Fees
Professional fees
include attorney’s fees, accounting fees and consulting fees incurred in connection with product investigation and analysis,
regulatory analysis, government relations, audit, securities offerings, investor relations, and general corporate and intellectual
property advice.
Income Taxes
As of December 31,
2019, we had net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes of $16,140,344 and non-capital loss carryforwards
for Canadian income tax purposes of approximately $20,366,610, which will begin to expire in fiscal year 2035. We have evaluated
the factors bearing upon the realizability of our deferred tax assets, which are comprised principally of net operating loss carryforwards
and non-capital loss carryforwards. We concluded that, due to the uncertainty of realizing any tax benefits as of December 31,
2019, a valuation allowance was necessary to fully offset our deferred tax assets.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant
Judgments and Estimates
Our management’s
discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. The preparation
of our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and revenue, costs and expenses and related disclosures during the reporting periods.
On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those described below. We base our estimates on historical
experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis
for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual
results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
While our significant
accounting policies are more fully described in Note 3 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere
in this report, we believe that the estimates and assumptions involved in the following accounting policies may have the greatest
potential impact on our financial statements.
JOBS Act
The Jumpstart Our
Business Startups Act, or the JOBS Act, contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for
an “emerging growth company.” We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of the JOBS Act provision that an
emerging growth company may delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such times as those standards apply to private
companies.
In addition, we are
in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the
JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if as an “emerging growth company” we choose to
rely on such exemptions, we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our
system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, and (ii) comply with any requirement that may be
adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s
report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis). These exemptions
will apply until December 31, 2022 or until we no longer meet the requirements of being an “emerging growth company,”
whichever is earlier.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of
consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Areas
where significant judgment is involved in making estimates are, the determination of fair value of stock-based compensation, the
useful lives of property and equipment, allocation of proceeds from financings to shares and warrants, fair value of placement
agent warrants and forecasting future cash flows for assessing the going concern assumption.
Research and
Development Costs
Research and development
expenses comprise costs incurred in performing research and development activities, including salaries and benefits, safety and
efficacy studies and contract manufacturing costs, contract research costs, patent procurement costs, materials and supplies, and
occupancy costs. Research and development activities include internal and external activities associated with research and development
studies of current product candidates and advancing product candidates towards a goal of obtaining regulatory approval to manufacture
and market the product candidate.
Research and development
costs related to continued research and development programs are expensed as incurred in accordance with ASC topic 730.
Translation
of Foreign Currencies
The functional currency,
as determined by management, is U.S. dollars, which is also our reporting currency. Transactions denominated in currencies other
than U.S. dollars and the monetary value of assets and liabilities are remeasured at the period-end exchange rates. Revenue and
expenses are measured at rates of exchange prevailing on the transaction dates. All of the exchange gains or losses resulting from
these other transactions are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Stock-Based
Compensation
We measure the cost
of equity-settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted if
the fair value of the goods or services received by us cannot be reliably estimated.
We calculate stock-based
compensation using the fair value method, under which the fair value of the options at the grant date is calculated using the
Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, and subsequently expensed over the vesting period of the option using the graded vesting method.
The provisions of our stock-based compensation plans do not require us to settle any options by transferring cash or other assets,
and therefore we classify the awards as equity. Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the
value of stock-based payment awards that ultimately are expected to vest. We estimate forfeitures at the time of grant and revise
these estimates, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The expected term, which
represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, is estimated based on an average of the term
of the options. The risk-free rate assumed in valuing the options is based on the Canadian treasury yield curve in effect at the
time of grant for the expected term of the option. The expected dividend yield percentage at the date of grant is nil as we are
not expected to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share,
or EPS, is computed by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through the exercise or conversion of
stock options, restricted stock awards, warrants, and convertible securities. In certain circumstances, the conversion of options,
warrants, and convertible securities are excluded from diluted EPS if the effect of such inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
The dilutive effect
of stock options is determined using the treasury stock method. Stock options and warrants to purchase our common shares issued
during the period were not included in the computation of diluted EPS, as the effect would be anti-dilutive.
Comprehensive
Loss
We follow ASC topic
220. This statement establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive (loss) income and its components. Comprehensive
loss is net loss plus certain items that are recorded directly to shareholders' equity. We currently have no other comprehensive
loss items.

Revenue
We did not generate
any revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019.
Research and Development
Research and development
expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $3,908,171 compared to $1,061,507 for the three months ended June 30, 2019,
an increase of $ 2,846,664 or 268%. The increase primarily resulted from a milestone expense of $3,000,000 recognized in accordance
with our development and supply agreement with Qorvo Biotechnologies, LLC. (“Qorvo”) and increased regulatory fees.
This increase partially was offset by a reduction in salaries and bonuses of $129,234 and supplies of $39,730.
Research and development
expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $4,503,570 compared to $8,592,882 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, a
reduction of $4,089,312 or 48%. The decrease primarily was due to a reduction of $2,000,000 in milestone expenses relating to TRUFORMA™
under our development and supply agreement with Qorvo, a reduction of $736,841 in milestone expenses relating to our development
of ZM-017 under our license and supply agreement with Celsee, Inc., a reduction of $933,754 in consulting expenses, a reduction
of $188,157 in salaries, bonus and benefits, and a reduction of $73,882 in supplies.
General and Administrative
General and administrative
expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $988,734, compared to $901,319 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an
increase of $87,415 or 10%. The increase primarily was due to an increase in salaries, bonuses and benefits of $52,202, inclusive
of $135,844 in cost associated with options granted to employees in the period. After adjusting for the stock option compensation
expense, salaries decreased by $53,075. This decrease was due to no bonuses being earned in the current period versus the prior
period, offset by increases in salaries. Other increases include rent expense of $75,672 relating to the reclassification of right-of-use
asset amortization, $26,999 in insurance expense, and $14,192 in office expense. These increases were offset by reductions in travel
and accommodation expense of $62,080, marketing and investor relations expense of $11,078, office supplies of $4,314 and $4,178
for regulatory fees.
General and administrative
expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $2,272,261, compared to $4,113,677 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, a
decrease of $1,841,416 or 45%. The decrease primarily was due to a reduction in salaries, bonuses and benefits of $2,142,824 as
a result of a reduction in stock option compensation expense compared to the prior period. After adjusting for the stock option
compensation expense, salaries decreased $45,105. This decrease was due to no bonuses being earned in the current period versus
the prior period, offset in part by an increase in salary expense. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in office
expense associated with the expensing of furniture in the office space completed in the first quarter.
Professional Fees
Professional fees
for the three months ended June 30, 2020 were $282,791 compared to $231,647 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase
of $51,144 or 22%. The increase was due to additional legal fees associated with the COVID-19 pandemic disclosures, our offering
activity and the appointment of our new Interim Chief Executive Officer.
Professional fees
for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $573,472 compared to $989,946 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of
$416,474 or 42%. The decrease was primarily due to expenses incurred in the prior period related to the preparation of our S-3
resale registration statement and our S-8 registration statement.
Net Loss
Our net loss for the
three months ended June 30, 2020 was $5,307,990 or $0.02 per share, compared with a net loss of $2,404,427 or $0.02 per share,
for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $2,903,563 or 121%. The net loss in each period was attributed to the
matters described above.
Our net loss for the
six months ended June 30, 2020 was $7,758,607 or $0.05 per share, compared with a net loss of $14,081,337 or $0.13 per share for
the six months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $6,322,730 or 45%. The net loss in each period was attributed to the matters
described above. We expect to continue to record net losses in future periods until such time, if ever, as we have sufficient revenue
from our product candidates to offset our operating expenses.

2019, a decrease of $2,715,483 or 32%. The decrease resulted primarily from a lower net loss in the second quarter of 2020 compared

and buyout of our office lease.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have incurred losses
and negative cash flows from operations and have not generated any revenue since our inception in May 2015. As of June 30, 2020,
we had an accumulated deficit of $59,816,448. We have funded our working capital requirements primarily through the sale of our
securities and the exercise of stock options and warrants.
As of June 30, 2020,
the Company had cash of $29,103,049, prepaid expenses and deposits of $782,647, and accounts receivable of $182,496. Current assets
amounted to $30,068,192, with current liabilities of $1,963,965, resulting in working capital (defined as current assets minus
current liabilities) of $28,104,227.
As of June 30, 2020,
we had shareholders’ equity of $29,578,961.
In July 2020, we sold
an aggregate of (i) 162,500,000 common shares, (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 25,000,000 common shares and (iii) Series
D warrants to purchase an aggregate of 187,500,000 common shares for aggregate gross proceeds of $30,000,000. The pre-funded warrants
sold in the July offering have been exercised in full.
Since June 30, 2020,
we have received an aggregate of $863,550 from the exercise of outstanding warrants.
As of August 10, 2020,
we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $55,000,000.
On October 17, 2017
we entered into a five-year $5,000,000 unsecured working capital facility with Equidebt LLC, one of our shareholders (the “Equidebt
Facility”). Amounts borrowed under the Equidebt Facility bear interest at a rate of 14% per annum payable at maturity. All
amounts borrowed under the Equidebt Facility become due and payable on October 17, 2022. We can make two borrowings per month under
the Equidebt Facility, each of which must be for a minimum of $250,000. The Equidebt Facility is unsecured. As of June 30, 2020,
no amounts have been borrowed against this facility.
We believe that our
existing cash resources will be sufficient to fund our expected working capital needs through December 2021. If we raise additional
funds by issuing equity securities, our existing security holders will likely experience dilution, and the incurring of indebtedness
would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that could
restrict operations. In the event that we are unable to obtain sufficient capital to meet our working capital requirements, we
may be required to change or curtail current or planned operations in order to conserve cash until such time, if ever, that sufficient
proceeds from operations are generated. In such an event, we may not be able to take advantage of business opportunities and may
have to terminate or delay safety and efficacy studies, curtail our product development programs, or sell or assign rights to our
product candidates, products and technologies.
Our future capital
requirements depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:
|
•
|
the scope, progress, results and costs of researching and developing our current or future product
candidates;
|
|
•
|
the timing of, and the costs involved in, obtaining regulatory approvals for any of our current
or future product candidates;
|
|
•
|
the number and characteristics of the product candidates we pursue;
|
|
•
|
the cost of manufacturing our current and future product candidates and any products we successfully
commercialize;
|
|
•
|
the cost of commercialization activities if any of our current or future product candidates are
approved for sale, including marketing, sales, service, customer support and distribution costs;
|
|
•
|
the expenses needed to attract and retain skilled personnel;
|
|
•
|
the costs associated with being a public company;
|
|
•
|
our ability to establish and maintain strategic collaborations, licensing or other arrangements
and the financial terms of such agreements; and,
|
|
•
|
the costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining, defending and enforcing possible
patent claims, including litigation costs and the outcome of any such litigation.
|
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

have not engaged in the use of any off-balance sheet arrangements, such as structured finance entities, special purpose entities,
or variable interest entities.

have now been exercised. There are currently 187,500,000 Series D Warrants outstanding to acquire an aggregate of 187,500,000 common
shares.

All of the currently outstanding warrants also have a “cashless exercise” feature which
is applicable in certain circumstances. The cashless exercise feature could result in the potential issuance of common shares based
upon the “in-the-money” value of the applicable warrants at the time of exercise of the applicable warrants. The number
of the common shares that may be issued is not determinable. However, the number of common shares that are issuable is based upon
a formula contained in the applicable warrants, which determines the number of common shares issuable by dividing the “in-the-money”
value (based upon the then current market price, as provided in the applicable warrants) by the then current market price, and
multiplying this result by the number of common shares that are issuable under the applicable warrants pursuant to cash exercise.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
On November 1, 2019, Heska Corporation (“Heska”)
filed a complaint for damages and injunctive relief (the “Complaint”) in the United States District Court for the Middle
District of North Carolina, Case 1:19-cv-01108-LCB-JLW, against Qorvo US, Inc. (“Qorvo US”), Qorvo Biotechnologies,
LLC (“Qorvo Biotech” and, together with Qorvo US, “Qorvo”) and the Company (collectively with Qorvo, the
“Defendants”). The Complaint alleges, among other things, that the Defendants improperly obtained Heska’s trade
secrets and confidential information and/or conspired to use improper means to misappropriate Heska’s trade secrets related
to an instrument and related consumable products for performing immunoassay analysis of biomarkers and other substances. The Complaint
seeks compensatory and exemplary damages, as well as preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent the Defendants from
commercializing the Company’s TRUFORMATM diagnostic instrument. On January 21, 2020, the Defendants filed a motion
seeking dismissal of the Complaint. On February 11, 2020, Heska filed its response to the Defendants’ motion to dismiss to
which the Defendants responded on February 25, 2020. The Court has not yet ruled on Defendants’ motion to dismiss, and the
litigation remains stayed pending a ruling on that motion. The Company believes that the allegations in the Complaint have no merit
and will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations or financial condition. Under
the terms of the Development and Supply Agreement, dated November 26, 2018, by and between Qorvo Biotech and the Company (the “Qorvo
Agreement”), Qorvo Biotech agreed to indemnify the Company and certain related parties against claims alleging infringement
or misappropriation of third-party intellectual property rights, subject to certain limitations and exceptions. Qorvo Biotech has
notified the Company that Qorvo Biotech has assumed the defense of the Complaint and will indemnify the Company for losses arising
from the Complaint in accordance with the terms of the Qorvo Agreement. Qorvo Biotech has further advised the Company that it intends
to mount a vigorous defense to the claims in the Complaint, and that it believes the allegations contained in the Complaint are
without merit.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
RISK FACTORS
Risks Related to Our Business
We have a limited operating history, are not profitable and
may never become profitable.
We have not generated any revenue to date, and we expect to continue
to incur significant research and development costs and other expenses. Our net loss and comprehensive loss for (i) the three months
ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 was $5,307,990 and $2,404,427, respectively, (ii) for the six months ended June 30, 2020
and June 30, 2019 was $7,758,607 and $14,081,337, respectively, and (iii) for the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31,
2018 was $19,784,054 and $16,647,687, respectively. Our accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2020 was $59,816,448. As of June 30,
2020, we had total shareholders' equity of $29,578,961. We expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future, as we
continue our product development and commercialization activities. Even if we succeed in developing and broadly commercializing
one or more of our product candidates, we expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future, and we may never become
profitable. If we fail to achieve or maintain profitability, then we may be unable to continue our operations at planned levels
and be forced to reduce or cease operations.
The “Novel Coronavirus Disease 2019” (“COVID-19”)
pandemic has materially and adversely affected the development and commercialization of our TRUFORMA™ platform.
The COVID-19 pandemic materially and adversely affected the development
and commercialization of our TRUFORMA™ platform and the initial five assays. In response to the pandemic, our development
partner had reduced the number of employees working in its facilities for a period of time which has delayed the completion of
the verification of the five initial TRUFORMA™ assays and the manufacturing of commercial quantities of the TRUFORMA™
platform and the related assays. Veterinary hospitals and clinics that had agreed to participate in the validation of our initial
TRUFORMA™ assays either shut down for a period of time or limited their operations to those involving only life-threatening
conditions, which we have mitigated to a certain extent with our recent ability to successfully complete remote installations. Potential
customers have at times restricted access to their facilities which has affected and may continue to affect our ability to perform
on-site demonstrations and other marketing activities. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our business will depend
on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the duration of the outbreak,
the spread and severity of COVID-19, and the effectiveness of governmental actions in response to the pandemic.
The COVID-19 outbreak has disrupted our development partners
and the COVID-19 pandemic and any future outbreak of a health epidemic or other adverse public health developments could materially
and adversely affect our business and operating results.
The COVID-19 outbreak disrupted our development partners and the
COVID-19 pandemic and any future outbreak of a health epidemic or other adverse public health developments could materially and
adversely affect our business and operating results. For example, our development partner for our TRUFORMA™ platform and
the related assays had reduced the number of employees working in its facility which significantly impacted our expected timing
for the completion of the development and the commencement of the commercialization of our TRUFORMA™ platform and the related
assays. If our suppliers are unable or fail to fulfill their obligations to us for any reason, we may not be able to manufacture
our products and satisfy customer demand or our obligations under sales agreements in a timely manner, and our business could be
harmed as a result. As noted above, there is continuing uncertainty relating to the potential effect of COVID-19 on our business.
Infections may become more widespread and should that cause supply disruptions it would have a negative impact on our business,
financial condition and operating results. In addition, a significant health epidemic could adversely affect the economies and
financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could affect the market for our products, which could
have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
The COVID-19 pandemic and any future outbreak of a health
epidemic or other adverse public health developments could materially and adversely affect the sales of our products.
The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a significant spike in unemployment
and a concomitant decline in economic activity in the U.S. and many other countries. A worsening of the COVID-19 pandemic, any
future outbreak of a health epidemic or other adverse public health developments may have similar effects. Pet owners may be unwilling
or unable to seek treatment for their pets in such circumstances, thereby decreasing demand for our products. In addition, as noted
above, potential customers for our products have either shut down or limited their operations which has affected and may continue
to affect our ability to perform on-site demonstrations and other marketing activities. Potential customers also may be unwilling
or unable to invest in new equipment or to introduce new treatments for their patients. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic and
any future outbreak of a health epidemic or other adverse public health developments could materially and adversely affect the
sales of our products.
We are subject to the continued listing requirements of the
NYSE American. If we are unable to comply with such requirements, our common shares would be delisted from the NYSE American, which
would limit investors’ ability to effect transactions in our common shares and subject us to additional trading restrictions.
Our common shares are currently listed on the NYSE American. In
order to maintain our listing, we must maintain certain share prices, financial and share distribution targets, including maintaining
a minimum amount of shareholders’ equity and a minimum number of public shareholders. In addition to these objective standards,
the NYSE American may delist the securities of any issuer if, in its opinion, the issuer’s financial condition and/or operating
results appear unsatisfactory; if it appears that the extent of public distribution or the aggregate market value of the security
has become so reduced as to make continued listing on the NYSE American inadvisable; if the issuer sells or disposes of principal
operating assets or ceases to be an operating company; if an issuer fails to comply with the NYSE American’s listing requirements;
if an issuer’s common stock sells at what the NYSE American considers a “low selling price” (generally trading
below $0.20 per share for an extended period of time); or if any other event occurs or any condition exists which makes continued
listing on the NYSE American, in its opinion, inadvisable. On April 10, 2020, we received a deficiency letter from the NYSE American
indicating that the we are not compliance with Section 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE American Company Guide, because our common shares
have been selling for a low price per share for a substantial period time. We intend to seek shareholder approval for a share consolidation
of our common shares in order to regain compliance with the NYSE continued listing standards. If we fail to regain compliance with
the NYSE American continued listing standards by October 10, 2020, the NYSE American will commence delisting proceedings.
If the NYSE American delists our common shares from trading on its
exchange and we are not able to list our securities on another national securities exchange, we expect our common shares would
qualify to be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, we could face significant material adverse consequences,
including:
|
·
|
a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;
|
|
·
|
reduced liquidity for our securities;
|
|
·
|
a determination that our common shares are a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our common shares
to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for
our securities;
|
|
·
|
a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and
|
|
·
|
a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.
