Message to shareholders

In  2014  we  continued 

to  build  on 

the 

transformational  changes 

implemented 

last 

year,  while  we  also  pursued  the  successful 

commercialization of our pipeline products.

We  experienced  extraordinary  growth  in  our 

Virology  Products  business  driven  by  a  new 

multi-year  commitment  from  a  large  European 

customer.  This  was  a  very  important  vote  of 

confidence  in  our  Company  and  we  responded 

by expanding our manufacturing capacity; adding 

a  second  production  shift  and  investing  in  new 

process  equipment. As  a  result,  we  successfully 

satisfied all of the new shipment requests, which 

increased our total virology product sales by 25%. 

We also carefully controlled our costs during the 

sexing  providing  dairy  and  beef  producers  with 

much lower costs and improved productivity. 

It  was  an  extremely  busy  year 

for  our 
VIRUSMAX® franchise. We successfully defended 

our  European  patents  against  a  challenge  by 

Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics in Munich last 

January. We also launched legal actions against 

Novartis  alleging  patent  infringement  in  both  the 

U.S. and Europe. We expect both actions will go 

to trial in late 2015.

In  the  past  year  we  have  met  with  several 
parties that are interested in returning Kinlytic® to 

the  U.S.,  Canadian  and  European  markets.  We 

are  now  in  advanced  discussions  with  a  small 

number of parties, and I am optimistic that we will 
secure a new Kinlytic® partner in 2015.

COMPANY OVERVIEW
Microbix Biosystems Inc. (Microbix or the Company) (TSX: MBX) develops biological products and technologies.  
The Virology Business (Virology) manufactures and develops cell culture-based biological products and technologies.  
The Company has developed and acquired three technologies for large life sciences markets including Virus Yield 
Enhancement  Technology,  Virusmax®,  the  thrombolytic  drug  Kinlytic®  (Urokinase),  and  an  animal  reproductive 
technology  in  development,  LumiSort™.    The  development  of   new  products  and  technologies  are  funded  with 
income earned from Virology and additional cash flows from equity and debt issuance.  Microbix has substantial 
capability, both in technical expertise and laboratory facilities for development.  Microbix is providing materials for 
diagnoses of  infectious diseases. The same expertise and competencies involved are applicable to developing materials 
to facilitate treatment. The Company continually invests in Virology to adopt current technologies and standards, 
upgrading capabilities to support its customers.  Revenue generated from Virology is used to meet operational costs, 
the development program and to service the Company’s debt.    

The Virology Business is expected to continue to generate a profit, part of  which will be invested in the 
development pipeline.  The Company may seek additional capital needed to maintain its current level of  investment 
in  the  development  pipeline.    If   necessary,  management  and  the  Board  of   Directors  have  the  discretion  to 
reduce or suspend investment in development depending on the cash/liquidity needs of  the Company.

The Company operates the Virology Business in its owned manufacturing facility at 265 Watline Avenue, 
Mississauga, Ontario.  The manufacturing facility operates under an infectious diseases biological license from 
the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

Year Ended September 30, 2014
Total revenue for the year was $8,396,796 ($7,574,593 – 2013), or an increase of  11%.  Virology Products revenue 
was $8,258,175 ($6,584,844 – 2013), or an increase of  25% as a result of  new antigen sales to a large European 
diagnostics customer. Meanwhile, Research and Development Contract revenue declined by $851,128 in 2014 as 
a result of  the termination of  the urokinase contract by Zydus Cadila in the first quarter of  2014.  

Operating  profit  for  the  year  was  $475,624  ($168,178  –  2013).  This  improvement  was  entirely  attributable 
to  higher  Virology  Products  revenue,  which  resulted  in  an  increased  gross  margin  of   $677,384  for  fiscal  2014.  
Operating expenses for the year at $4,035,877 ($3,665,939 – 2013) were up 10%.  However, after removing one-time 
gains in fiscal 2013 operating expenses ($131,379 gain on asset disposals, and a one-time debt recovery of  $376,171), 
2014 operating expenses actually declined 3% compared to normalized operating expenses in 2013.

Net cash inflows in 2014 were $287,308 compared with $31,619 in 2013. Cash used in operations of  $1,170,842 
($428,355 cash provided in 2013) was primarily due to higher accounts receivable and inventory of  approximately $1 
million and $0.5 million respectively, due primarily to significantly higher antigen sales in 2014.  This higher level of  
sales is expected to continue in fiscal 2015.

Cash  from  financing  activities  increased  $5,002,766  in  2014  compared  to  2013,  while  cash  used  in  investing 
activities increased $3,134,389 over 2013 primarily due to the development of  the LumiSort prototype instrument.           

Quarter Ended September 30, 2014
Total revenue in the fourth quarter was $2,355,879, 5% below the same quarter in 2013.  Although Virology 
sales at $2,258,029 were 3% above that of  the comparative quarter in fiscal 2013, total revenue was down 
due to a $185,394 reduction in research and development contract revenue due to the termination of  the 
urokinase contract by Zydus Cadila in the first quarter of  fiscal 2014.

The operating loss in the fourth quarter was $302,963 compared to a normalized operating income of  $64,382 
in the fourth quarter of  2013, (after removing one-time gains of  $131,379 on asset disposals and $376,171 on debt 
restructuring in the last quarter of  fiscal 2013). This operating loss is the result of  lower sales in the fourth quarter 
as well as increased spending on pipeline activities.

Sales fluctuate on a quarterly basis due to the timing of  customer orders.  Net losses in earlier quarters are due to 
significant investment in new product development.

LIQUIDITY, CASH FLOWS AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting 
Standards  (“IFRS”)  on  a  going  concern  basis,  which  presumes  the  Company  will  continue  operating  for  the 
foreseeable future and will be able to realize a return on its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in 
the normal course of  business.

The company has incurred operating losses resulting in an accumulated deficit of  $24,426,070 as at September 
30, 2014.  Management continuously monitors the financial position of  the Company with respect to working capital 
needs,  as  well  as  long-term  capital  needs  compared  to  the  annual  budget.    Variances  are  highlighted  and  actions 
are taken to ensure the Company is appropriately capitalized.  The current annual operating budget confirms the 
Company is on target and able to support its planned activities.

a) Sources and Uses of Cash
Overall, the Company has realized an improvement in its closing cash balance from $260,048 at the end of  fiscal 
2013 to $547,356 at the end of  fiscal 2014.  However, the sources and uses of  cash changed significantly from the 
prior year.

Cash used by operations in 2014 was $1,170,842 versus cash provided by operations of  $428,355 in 2013. Most 
of  this change was due to the following: (1) an increase in Accounts Receivables of  $990,526 which resulted from 
higher sales in 2014; (2) a $526,278 increase in Inventory due to growth in Virology sales which required higher 
volumes of  finished goods inventory, plus significant price increases in various key raw materials; (3) a $421,984 
increase in Prepaid Expenses, most of  which relates to retainers with various legal counsel, and deposits with the 
engineering firm associated with the Lumisort project.

Growth of  accounts receivables and inventory are projected to moderate to about 5% in fiscal 2015, in line with 

projected growth of  Virology sales. 

Cash of  $4,588,340 provided by financing activities arose mainly from three sources: Issuance of  a convertible 
debenture for net proceeds of  $1,434,441, conversion of  warrants and stock options for proceeds of  $1,260,481 
and net proceeds of  $1,953,328 from shares issued pursuant to a private placement. 

Cash  used  in  investing  activities  for  new  manufacturing  equipment,  new  intellectual  property  development, 
patents,  Lumisort™  engineering  and  equipment  totaled  $3,380,190,  partially  offset  by  the  receipts  of   $250,000 
released from previously restricted cash. Projected capital spending in fiscal 2015 is $1.5 million for completion of  
the Lumisort Phase 1 project and $1.1 million to upgrade and expand Virology manufacturing.

Microbix biosysteMs inc.b) Future Liquidity and Capital Needs
Microbix funds new product development activities and capital expenditures through profits earned from its Virology 
Business and, periodically, from additional equity and/or debt.  The Virology business is expected to continue to 
generate profits, which will be invested in new product development and manufacturing equipment. 

c) Contractual Obligations

d) Outstanding Share Capital
Share capital issued and outstanding as at December 19, 2014 was $28,375,872 for 77,993,116 common shares, an 
increase of  $713,760 and 2,038,658 common shares since September 30, 2014, compared to $24,299,594 of  share 
capital with 66,684,350 common shares issued and outstanding as September 30, 2013.   

RELATED PARTIES
During the fiscal 2014, the Company paid interest of  $639,046 ($495,000 – 2013) on the convertible debentures 
issued to related party shareholders.

LONG-TERM ASSETS

a) Tangible Assets
During fiscal 2014 the Company spent $3,192,421 on Virology Products production equipment and Lumisort 
engineering and equipment.

b) Intangible Assets

Capital Spending
During 2014 the Company invested $187,769, primarily on its patent estate for pipeline projects.

Technology Investment - Lumisort™
In 2005 the Company acquired Sequent Biotechnologies Inc. involved in the development and commercialization 
of  semen-sexing technology.  The fair value of  the technology acquired was established as an intangible asset.  
New intellectual property has been added as a result of  our ongoing research program and new patents, accepted 
and pending.   

Technology Investment - Urokinase/Kinlytic®
On  September  23,  2008,  Microbix  completed  a  $2,770,529  acquisition  of   all  Kinlytic  assets  from  ImaRx 
Therapeutics, Inc.

 5

Microbix biosysteMs inc.The  recoverable  amount  of   the  Urokinase  intangible  has  been  determined  based  on  a  fair  value  less  cost  to  sell 
calculation. That calculation uses risk adjusted cash flow projections based on probability weighted financial budgets 
approved  by  management  covering  an  11  year  period,  and  a  discount  rate  of   10%  per  cent.  Management  made 
assumptions based on probabilities of  technical, regulatory and clinical acceptances and financial support. Management 
also believes that any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount is based 
would not cause the carrying amount to exceed its recoverable amount. 

LONG-TERM DEBT
a) Non-Convertible Debenture
During the second quarter of  fiscal 2014 the Company issued a $2,000,000 non-convertible debenture to a shareholder 
of  the Company, with principal and interest at 9% per annum payable on a quarterly basis, having a maturity date 
of  January 31, 2029.  The debenture is secured against the Company’s property at 265 Watline Avenue, Mississauga 
and other personal property of  the Company and is subordinate only to indebtedness to a Canadian chartered bank 
or similar financial institution on normal commercial terms up to the maximum principal amount of  $2,000,000.

The debenture is being accounted for in accordance with its substance and is presented in the financial statements 
in its component parts measured at the time of  issue. The debt component was valued first at its present value based 
on the effective interest rate on the debt at 25.69% per annum which reflects the inherent risk of  investment in the 
Company taking into account its underlying stock volatility, credit profile and the ranking of  the debt behind the 
secured mortgage and commercial banking creditors. 

b) Convertible Debentures
During the second quarter, the Company cancelled the $2,000,000 convertible debenture issued on September 10, 
2008 and replaced it with a non-convertible debenture.  See preceding section a) for further details on the non-
convertible debenture.

On January 31, 2014, the Company issued a $1,500,000 debenture to a shareholder of  the Company, with interest 
only payable at 9% per annum on a quarterly basis, and having a maturity date of  January 31, 2029.  The debenture is 
convertible into Common Shares at the option of  the holder at any time on or prior to the maturity at a conversion 
price of  $0.35 per common share.  The debenture is secured against the real property and the personal property of  
the Company including without limiting the foregoing, a registered second mortgage on the property at 265 Watline 
Avenue, Mississauga, Ontario in favour of  the Holder, its successors and assigns subordinate only to indebtedness to 
a Canadian chartered bank or similar financial institution on normal commercial terms up to the maximum principal 
amount of  $1,500,000.

The  debenture  is  being  accounted  for  in  accordance  with  its  substance  and  is  presented  in  the  financial 
statements in its component parts measured at the time of  issue.  The debt component was valued with the residual 
to shareholders’ equity.

Over the term of  the convertible debenture, the debt component will be accreted to the face value of  the 
convertible debenture by the recording of  additional interest expense.  The effective interest rate on the debt 
is 25.69%.

c) Business Development Corporation Debt
The Company negotiated a $3,000,000 loan with the Business Development Bank (BDC) for the purchase and build-
out of  its new manufacturing facility.  There was a further loan of  $350,000 for the purchase of  new equipment.  The 
first $1,500,000 from the Business Development Bank for the construction of  the Watline facility.  The mortgage 
is secured with the building.  The interest rate is floating, based on BDC’s Floating Base Rate plus a variance of  
1.35%.  At September 30, 2014 the Floating Base Rate was 5.00% on the outstanding balance of  $2,602,060 (2013 - 
$2,657,620).  Consecutive monthly principal payments of  $9,260 are due to February 2037.

 6

Microbix biosysteMs inc.Additionally, BDC offered a 6 month deferral of  principal payments on the mortgage beginning with the month 
of  April, 2014.  The deferral amounts to $55,560.  As a result the monthly principal payments of  $9,260 have been 
extended to August 2037.

The second BDC loan of  $60,000 was for the purchase of  equipment for the facility. The interest rate is floating, 
based on BDC’s Floating Base Rate plus a variance of  1.80%, over a term of  8 years.  At September 30, 2014 the 
Floating Base Rate was 5.00% on the outstanding balance of  $21,025 (2013 - $25,375).  Consecutive monthly principal 
payments of  $725 are due to February 2017.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION EQUIPMENT LOAN
During the fiscal year, the Company negotiated an additional $615,000 loan with the BDC with a maturity of  July, 2020, 
subject to interest at the BDC’s Floating Base Rate plus 0.5%, with monthly repayments of  principal and interest of  
$10,250 starting in August, 2015. The funds were advanced to the Company from the BDC subsequent to year-end and 
as at September 30, 2014, the outstanding balance on this loan is $Nil.

TREND INFORMATION
Historical  spending  patterns  are  no  indication  of   future  expenditures.  Investment  in  the  pipeline  projects  is  at  the 
discretion of  management. The Company is not aware of  any material trends related to its business that have not been 
discussed above.

OUTLOOK
The business of  Microbix described in these documents is the result of  years of  investment in research and development, 
which has delivered products and technologies that have received wide customer acceptance and continued growth in 
demand.  Microbix has both the manufacturing facilities and the scientific expertise in personnel to support this growth, 
including the continuous demand for competitive process improvements, as well as new products.

In fiscal 2015, management is projecting continued growth of  its Virology business of  at least 5%. The Company 
also  expects  to  launch  its  initial  offering  of   molecular  genetics  antigens  primarily  targeted  at  the  North  American 
diagnostic testing marketplace.

Advanced discussions continue with a select group of  potential partners interested in returning Kinlytic to the 
U.S., Canadian and European markets. Management believes there is a reasonable opportunity to close a partnership 
agreement during fiscal 2015.

Construction  of   the  Lumisort  prototype  will  be  complete  in  early  2015.  The  Company  will  then  commence 
partnering discussions with select animal genetics companies in order to fund the pre-commercial phase of  development 
that will be initiated later in 2015. This will be followed by field trials currently projected for early in fiscal 2016.

Finally, the Company is involved in litigation relating to its VIRUSMAX technology.  There are two actions wherein 
the Company is alleging infringement of  its VIRUSMAX patents in the U.S. and Europe. Both of  these actions are 
expected to reach the trial stage in late 2015.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Company is exposed to a wide variety of  business risks, both known and unknown, which may or may not affect 
its operations.  Management works continuously to mitigate unacceptable risk, while still allowing the business to grow 
and prosper.  These risk factors include the following:

Virology Product sales are dependent on a few key clients, open borders, international transportation systems, and 
access to raw materials.
The majority of  the Company’s Virology sales are made to a small number of  key customers located all over the world.  
Since these products contributed a majority of  the revenue during fiscal 2014, loss of  a key customer or, restrictions 
on export, import, international transportation of  its products, raw materials or insufficient marketing resources, could 
materially impact revenue and profitability.

Microbix biosysteMs inc.Environmental, safety and other regulatory
Microbix’ research and manufacturing operations involves potentially hazardous materials.  The Company takes the 
necessary  precautions  to  appropriately  manage  such  materials  as  required  by  applicable  environmental  and  safety 
regulations.  Changes to environmental and safety legislation may limit the Company’s activities or increase costs. An 
environmental  accident  could  adversely  impact  its  operations.    Microbix’  diagnostic  products  are  not  regulated  by 
governments in Canada or other jurisdictions.  Commercialization of  certain products requires approval of  regulatory 
agencies such as the FDA, in which case Microbix will not receive revenue until regulatory approval is obtained.

Manufacturing of Kinlytic®
In December 2013, Zydus terminated the Kinlytic® license agreement due to a change in their strategic priorities.  
During 2014 the Company entered into confidentiality agreements with several parties interested in returning Kinlytic 
to the market. 

Vaccine technology
The market for the Company’s proprietary Vaccine technology (VIRUSMAX) is limited to a small number of  influenza 
vaccine manufacturers and this is protected by patents in twenty-one countries globally. In 2014 the Company successfully 
defended its European patents at the European Patent Office hearing, following a challenge by Novartis Vaccines & 
Diagnostics. This patent defense has led to separate legal actions by the Company against Novartis alleging infringement 
in the United States and Europe.  These legal actions require significant investment and there is no assurance that the 
Company will prevail in these actions.

Products in development
The Company has several products under development, however, it is impossible to ensure these development activities 
will result in the completion of  a commercial product. If  the Company is unable to develop and commercialize products, 
it will be unable to recover the related research and development and other expenses.

Product commercialization requires strategic relationships
To commercialize large market products in development, Microbix may need to establish strategic partnerships, joint 
ventures or licensing relationships with other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.  The Company may not be 
able to form acceptable strategic relationships.

Operating and capital requirements
Microbix believes that its cash generated from operations is sufficient to meet normal operating and capital needs. However, 
additional funding needs may depend upon several factors including: progress of  research and development programs; 
costs  associated  with  the  regulatory  process;  collaborative  and  license  arrangements  with  third  parties;  cost  of   filing, 
prosecuting and enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property rights; potential acquisitions and technological 
and market developments.  The Company earns most of  its profit from sales of  its Virology products and technologies 
and thus it is a major source of  funding for research and development activities.  However the Company may, from time 
to time, need to raise additional funds to satisfy the funding of  current research and development programs, as well as 
extraordinary operating costs noted above.  Additional financings may not be available, and even if  available, may not be 
on acceptable terms.  Financing from additional capital through an offering of  common shares, or debt, may result in 
dilution or the issuance of  securities with rights senior to the rights of  the holders of  common shares.

The Company’s success depends on the successful commercialization of our technology
The successful commercialization of  products under development is key to Microbix’ success.  Product development in 
the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry is highly uncertain and there is no guarantee of  market acceptance.

Microbix biosysteMs inc.Failure to obtain and protect intellectual property could adversely affect the business
Microbix’ success will depend, in part, on its ability to obtain patents, or licenses to patents, maintain trade secret protection 
and enforce its rights against others.  The Company’s intellectual property includes trade secrets and know-how that may 
not be protected by patents and there is no complete assurance that it will be able to protect its trade secrets.  To help 
protect its intellectual property, the Company requires employees, consultants, advisors and collaborators to enter into 
confidentiality agreements.  However, these agreements may not adequately protect trade secrets, know-how or other 
proprietary information in the event of  any unauthorized use or disclosure.  Protection of  intellectual property may also 
entail prosecuting claims against others who the Company believes are infringing its rights.  Involvement in intellectual 
property litigation could result in significant expenses, adversely affecting the development of  products or sales of  the 
challenged product or intellectual property and diverting the efforts of  its technical and management personnel, whether 
or not such litigation is resolved in the Company’s favour. 

Microbix faces and will continue to face significant competition
Competition  from  pharmaceutical  companies,  biotechnology  companies  and  academic  and  research  institutions  is 
significant.    Many  competitors  have  substantially  greater  product  development  capabilities  and  financial,  scientific, 
manufacturing, sales and marketing resources and experience than Microbix.  While the Company continues to expand 
its technological capabilities in order to remain competitive, Microbix’ competitors are also investing in research and 
development activities and enhanced intellectual property positions, which could make it more difficult for Microbix to 
commercialize its new technologies and products.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT 
The primary risks affecting the Company are summarized below and have not changed during the quarter. The list does not 
cover all risks, nor is there an assurance that the strategy of management to mitigate the risks is sufficient to eliminate the risk.  

Credit risk:
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held in accounts or short-term interest bearing accounts at a major Canadian 
chartered bank.  Management perceives the credit risk to be low. There is a concentration of  accounts receivable risk 
due to a few large customers comprising the Company’s international customer base.  The Company has had virtually 
no bad debts over the past several years and accordingly management has recorded an allowance of  $1,018 ($54,013 – 
2013). Accounts receivable at September 30, 2014 was $2,141,508 ($1,150,982 – 2013), an increase of  86% mostly due 
to increased sales in 2014.

Currency risk:
The Company is exposed to currency risk through fluctuations in the exchanges rate affecting sales and receivables 
denominated  in  US  dollars  and  Euros.    The  Company  does  not  use  financial  instruments  to  hedge  these  risks.    At 
September 30, 2014 the Company had US dollar and Euro balances in cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable. 

Liquidity risk:
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meets its financial obligations as they fall due.  To manage 
this situation, the Company projects and monitors its cash requirements to accommodate changes in liquidity needs.  

Interest rate risk:
Financial instruments that expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk are those assets and liabilities with a variable 
interest rate.  Interest risk exposure is primarily on the BDC debt and the Company’s $500,000 line of  credit with a 
chartered bank, each of  which bear a variable rate pegged to the institution’s base rate. A 1% increase in the bank rate 
would cost the Company about $30,000 per year for BDC and about $5,000 on the line of  credit if  each credit facility was 
used to the limit.  At September 30, 2014, the Company was not utilizing its line of  credit.

 9

Microbix biosysteMs inc.Market risk:
Market risk reflects changes in product prices based on changes in supply and demand, currency and interest rates and the 
effect on the Company’s income or value of  financial instruments held. Microbix’ products are valuable components of  
our customers’ products and are not easily replaced.  The Company works closely with customers to ensure its products 
satisfy critical customer needs.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES 
The preparation of  these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions 
that affect the reported amounts of  assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.  The Company’s audited consolidated 
financial statements are prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards 
(“IFRS”) and the reporting currency is Canadian dollars. On an on-going basis, management bases its estimates on 
historical and other experience and assumptions, which it believes are reasonable in the circumstances.  The significant 
accounting policies that the Company believes are the most critical in fully understanding and evaluating the reported 
financial results include:

Intangible Assets
Intangible assets include technology costs, patents, trademarks and licenses.  Each is recorded at cost and amortized 
on a straight-line basis over the term of  the agreements.  Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but 
are assessed for impairment on an annual basis.

Impairment of  Long-lived Assets
The Company reviews the carrying value of  non-financial assets with definite lives for potential impairment when 
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying value 
of  non-financial assets with indefinite lives, and of  non-financial assets with definite lives but are not ready for 
use, are assessed at least annually for impairment based on the impairment test on cash-generating units (CGUs).  
The impairment test on CGUs is carried out by comparing the carrying amount of  the CGU and its recoverable 
amount.  The recoverable amount of  a CGU is the higher of  fair value, less costs to sell and its value in use.  This 
complex valuation process entails the use of  methods such as the discounted cash method which requires numerous 
assumptions to estimate future cash flows.  The recoverable amount is impacted significantly by the discount rate 
selected to be used in the discounted cash flow model, as well as the quantum and timing of  risk-adjusted future cash 
flows and the growth rate used for the extrapolation.

The impairment loss is calculated as the difference between the fair value of  the asset and its carrying value. 
Management has determined that no long-lived assets of  the Company as at September 30, 2014 have met the 
criteria for impairment.

Convertible and Non-Convertible Debentures
Management determines the fair value of  the debenture using valuation techniques.  Those techniques are significantly 
affected by the estimated assumptions used, including discount rates, expected life and estimates of  future cash flows.

Deferred income taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated income tax consequences attributable 
to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of  assets and liabilities and their respective income 
tax  bases.  Deferred  income  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  measured  using  tax  rates  expected  to  be  in  effect  when 
the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effects of  changes in income tax rates are 
reflected in future income tax assets and liabilities in the year that the rate changes are substantively enacted.  

 10

Microbix biosysteMs inc.Share-based payments
The Company applies the fair value method of  accounting for stock-based compensation for awards granted to 
officers, directors, employees and consultants of  the Company.  The fair value of  the award at the time of  granting is 
determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and recognized as a compensation expense on a straight-
line basis over the vesting period with an offsetting amount recorded to contributed surplus.  The amount of  the 
compensation cost recognized at any date at least equals the value of  the portion of  the options vested at that 
date.  When stock options are exercised, the consideration paid by employees or directors, together with the related 
amount in contributed surplus, is credited to capital stock.  When an employee leaves the Company, vested options 
must be exercised within 90 days, or the options expire.  Any options that are unvested are reversed in the period 
that the employee leaves.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair value of  a financial instrument is approximated by the consideration that would be agreed to in an arm’s 
length transaction between willing parties and through appropriate valuation methods, but considerable judgment 
is required for the Company to determine the value.  The actual amount that could be realized in a current market 
exchange could be different than the estimated value. 

The  carrying  amounts  of   cash  and  cash  equivalents,  accounts  receivable,  bank  indebtedness  and  accounts 

payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of  these instruments.

Based on available market information, the fair value of  the obligation under capital lease approximates its 

carrying value.

The fair value of  the long-term debt is based on rates currently available for items with similar terms and 
maturities.  The fair value of  the liability for each convertible debenture has been calculated and the residual is 
accounted for in equity.

The Company does not have any off  balance sheet financial instruments.

MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS
The Chief  Executive Officer and the Chief  Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of  the Company’s 
disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in the National Instrument 52-109 Certification of  Disclosure in 
Issuer’s Annual Filings (NI 52-109F1).  As at September 30, 2014, management has concluded that the disclosure 
controls are effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s 
reports is recorded, processed summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Canadian Securities 
Administrator’s rules and forms.

INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The design of  internal controls over financial reporting (“ICFR”) within the company is a management responsibility 
to  provide  reasonable  assurance  that  the  reliability  of   financial  reporting  and  that  the  preparation  of   financial 
statements for external purposes is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of  IFRS.  While 
the CEO and CFO believe that the internal controls are adequate to provide the above information, the process to 
evaluate and document all policies and procedures that could impact financial reporting is continuously reviewed 
with consultation with the Audit Committee.  Shareholders should be aware that Microbix is a small company 
without the department resources associated with larger firms. Management is using the Committee of  Sponsoring 
Organization of  the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) Framework and has concluded that the Internal Control 
over Financial Reporting (“ICFR”) as defined in NI 52-109 is effective as at the period ended September 30, 2014.
Examination  by  the  Chief   Executive  Officer  and  the  Chief   Financial  Officer  showed  that  there  were  no 
changes to the internal controls over financial reporting during the period ended September 30, 2014 that have 
materially affected, or are reasonably thought to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting.

 11

Microbix biosysteMs inc.RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Periodically  new  standards,  interpretations,  amendments  and  improvements  to  existing  standards  are  issued  by 
the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) or IFRS Interpretation Committee (IFRIC) that become 
mandatory at certain dates. Management routinely assesses the impact of  these pronouncements on the Company.  
There are no pending standards that may be applicable to the Company.

IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments: Disclosures 
In December 2011, the IASB amended IFRS 7 to provide additional information about offsetting of  financial assets and 
financial liabilities. Additional disclosures will be required to enable users of  financial statements to evaluate the effect 
or potential effect of  netting arrangements on the entity’s financial position. The amendments are effective for annual 
periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. There was no impact to the financial statements as a result of  the adoption 
of  this update.

IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments 
IFRS 9, issued in November 2009 and amended in October 2010, introduced new requirements for the classification and 
measurement of  financial assets and the classification and measurement of  financial liabilities and for their de-recognition. 

All recognized financial assets within the scope of  IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are to be 
subsequently measured at amortized cost or fair value. Specifically, debt investments that have contractual cash flows that 
are solely payments of  principal and interest are generally measured at amortized cost at the end of  subsequent periods. 
All other debt and equity investments are measured at their fair value at the end of  subsequent periods.

With regard to the measurement of  financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss, IFRS 9 requires 
that the amount of  change in the fair value of  the financial liability, that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of  
that liability, is presented in other comprehensive income, unless the recognition of  the effects of  changes in the liability’s 
credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. Changes in 
fair value attributable to a financial liability’s credit risk are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss.

The directors anticipate that the application of  IFRS 9 in the future may have an impact on amounts reported in respect 
of  the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities. However, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate 
of  the effect of  IFRS 9 until a detailed review has been completed. 

IFRS 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements
In May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 10, which establishes principles for the presentation and preparation of  consolidated 
financial statements when an entity controls one or more other entities. IFRS 10 supersedes International Accounting 
Standards (“IAS”) 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”) 
12, Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. IFRS 10 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. 
There was no impact to the Company’s financial statements as a result of  adopting this standard.

IFRS 11 - Joint Arrangements
In  May  2011,  the  IASB  issued  IFRS  11,  Joint  Arrangements.  This  standard  separates  joint  arrangements  into  joint 
ventures and joint operations and provides guidance on accounting for these types of  arrangements. IFRS 11 is effective 
for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. There was no impact to the Company’s financial statements as 
a result of  adopting this standard. 

 12

Microbix biosysteMs inc.IFRS 12 - Disclosures of  interests in other entities 
In  May  2011,  the  IASB  issued  IFRS  12,  which  outlines  the  disclosure  requirements  for  interests  in  subsidiaries 
and other entities to enable users to evaluate the risks associated with interests in other entities and the effects of  
those interests on an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. IFRS 12 supersedes IAS 27, 
Consolidated  and  Separate  Financial  Statements  and  SIC-12,  Consolidation  –  Special  Purpose  Entities.  IFRS  12 
is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. As a result of  adoption of  this standard, the 
Company provided additional disclosure in note 1a.  There was no impact to the Company’s financial statements as a 
result of  adopting this standard. 

IFRS 13 - Fair value measurement 
In May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement. This standard defines fair value, sets out a single IFRS 
framework for measuring fair value and outlines disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. IFRS 13 is 
effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with early adoption permitted. This IFRS is to be 
applied prospectively as of  the beginning of  the annual period in which it is initially applied. Disclosure requirements do 
not need to be applied to the comparative periods prior to initial application. As a result of  adoption of  this standard, the 
Company provided additional disclosures in note 2(e)(i) and note 15. There were no impacts to the consolidated financial 
statements as a result of  the adoption of  this standard.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Shareholders of Microbix Biosystems Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Microbix Biosystems Inc. and its 
subsidiaries, (collectively referred to as the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statements of 
financial position as at September 30, 2014, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, 
changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended and a summary of significant 
accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management  is  responsible  for  the  preparation  and  fair  presentation  of  these  consolidated  financial 
statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control 
as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements 
that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our 
audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. 
Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit 
to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  consolidated  financial  statements  are  free  from 
material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the 
consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including 
the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether 
due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant 
to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to 
design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing 
an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal controls. An audit also includes evaluating the 
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by 
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audit is sufficient and appropriate to provide 
a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial 
position of Microbix Biosystems Inc. and its subsidiaries as at September 30, 2014, its financial performance 
and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 and 2013

1. NATURE OF THE BUSINESS

Microbix Biosystems Inc. (Microbix or the Company) (TSX: MBX) develops biological products and technologies.  The Virology 
Business (Virology) manufactures and develops cell culture-based biological products and technologies.  The Company has developed 
and acquired three technologies for large life sciences markets including Virus Yield Enhancement Technology, Virusmax®, the 
thrombolytic drug Kinlytic® (Urokinase), and an animal reproductive technology in development, LumiSort™.  The development 
of  new products and technologies are funded with income earned from Virology and additional cash flows from equity and debt 
issuance.    Microbix  has  substantial  capability,  both  in  technical  expertise  and  laboratory  facilities  for  development.    Microbix  is 
providing materials for diagnoses of  infectious diseases. The same expertise and competencies involved are applicable to developing 
materials to facilitate treatment. The Company continually invests in Virology to adopt current technologies and standards, upgrading 
capabilities to support its customers.  Revenue generated from Virology is used to meet operational costs, the development program 
and to service the Company’s debt.

The Virology business is expected to continue to generate a profit, part of  which will be invested in the development pipeline.  The 
Company may seek additional capital needed to maintain its current level of  investment in the development pipeline.  If  necessary, 
management and the Board of  Directors have the discretion to reduce or suspend investment in development depending on the 
cash/liquidity needs of  the Company.

The Company operates the Virology business in its owned manufacturing facility at 265 Watline Avenue, Mississauga, Ontario.  The 
manufacturing facility operates under an infectious diseases biological license from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

Statement of  Compliance
The  Company’s  management  prepared  these  consolidated  financial  statements  in  accordance  with  International  Financial 
Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) applicable to the preparation 
of  financial statements.  The Board of  Directors approved these Consolidated Financial Statements on December 19, 2014.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of  Measurement
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the revaluation of  certain 
financial assets and financial liabilities to fair value.  Items included in the financial statements of  each consolidated entity in the 
Company are measured using the currency of  the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional 
currency).  The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.

Basis of  consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of  the Company and its subsidiary Crucible Biotechnologies 
Limited. There has been no business activity in the subsidiary during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2014, and 2013.

Use of  estimates and judgments 
The  preparation  of   financial  statements  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and  judgments  that  affect  the  reported 
amounts of  assets and liabilities, the disclosure of  contingent assets and liabilities at the date of  the Consolidated Financial 
Statements and the reported amounts of  revenue and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from 
estimates and such differences could be material.

Key areas of  managerial judgments and estimates are as follows:

i)   Property, Plant and Equipment (PP&E):  
  Measurement  of   PP&E  involves  the  use  of   estimates  for  determining  the  expected  useful  lives  of   depreciable  assets.  
Management’s judgment is also required to determine depreciation methods and an asset’s residual value and whether an 
asset is a qualifying asset for the purposes of  capitalizing borrowing costs.

 20

ii)  Impairment of  non-financial assets:
  The Company reviews the carrying value of  non-financial assets with definite lives for potential impairment when events 
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying value of  non-financial 
assets with indefinite lives, and of  non-financial assets with definite lives but not ready for use, are assessed at least annually
for impairment based on the impairment test on cash-generating units (CGUs).  The impairment test on CGUs is carried 
out by comparing the carrying amount of  the CGU and its recoverable amount.  The recoverable amount of  a CGU is the 
higher of  fair value, less costs to sell and its value in use.  This complex valuation process entails the use of  methods such as 
the discounted cash method which requires numerous assumptions to estimate future cash flows.  The recoverable amount 
is impacted significantly by the discount rate selected to be used in the discounted cash flow model, as well as the quantum 
and timing of  risk-adjusted future cash flows and the growth rate used for the extrapolation.

iii)  Foreign Currency translation:
  The determination of  functional currency requires judgment.  The functional currency is determined based on the currencies 
of  the main economic activity, the magnitude of  these revenue streams and the payments for materials and employees.  The 
Company generates cash in a variety of  currencies and expends cash mainly in one currency, the Canadian dollar. 

iv)  Income Taxes:
  The Company recognizes deferred tax assets, related tax-loss carry-forwards and other deductible temporary differences 
where it is probable that sufficient future taxable income can be generated in order to fully utilize such losses and deductions. 
This  requires  significant  estimates  and  assumptions  regarding  future  earnings,  and  the  ability  to  implement  certain  tax 
planning opportunities in order to assess the likelihood of  utilizing such losses and deductions.

v)  Share-based payments:
  The Company measures the cost of  share-based payments, either equity or cash-settled, with employees by reference to the 
fair value of  the equity instrument or underlying equity instrument at the date granted.  Estimating the fair value for share-
based payments requires management to determine the appropriate valuation model for a grant, which is dependent of  the 
terms and conditions of  each grant.  In valuing certain types of  stock-based payments, such as incentive stock options, the 
Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  This valuation includes assumptions about the expected life of  the 
option, stock price volatility and forfeiture rates.

vi) Accounts receivable:
  The Company uses valuation techniques to estimate the fair value of  accounts receivable. Note 26 (a) provides additional 
information about the aging of  accounts receivable. This information was used by management in the determination of  the 
fair value of  these balances.

vii) Debentures:
  The Company uses valuation techniques that include inputs that are not based on observable market data to estimate the 
fair value of  convertible and non-convertible debentures. Note 11 provides additional information about the terms of  these 
debentures which were used by management in the determination of  their fair values.

Revenue Recognition
Revenues from product sales are recognized when persuasive evidence of  an arrangement exists, the product is shipped, received 
or  accepted  by  the  customer,  there  are  no  future  performance  obligations,  the  purchase  price  is  fixed  and  determinable,  and 
collectability is reasonably assured.

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognized by reference to the stage of  completion of  the contract.

Revenues from licensing are recognized when the service is rendered or the deliverables are substantially complete and other 
revenue recognition criteria are met.

For  upfront,  non-refundable  payments  received  in  accordance  with  the  execution  of   licensing  and  collaboration  agreements, 
revenue  is  deferred  and  recognized  over  the  performance  period,  the  period  over  which  the  Company  maintains  substantive 
contractual obligations.  Amounts the Company expects to earn in the current year are included in the current portion of  deferred 
revenue and amounts expected to be earned in subsequent periods are included in deferred revenue.  The term over which upfront 
fees are recognized is revised if  the period over which the Company maintains substantive contractual obligations changes.

 21

Microbix biosysteMs inc. 
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Milestone payments are immediately recognized as licensing revenue when the condition is met, if  the milestone is not a condition 
to future deliverables and collectability is reasonably assured.  Otherwise, they are recognized over the remaining term of  the 
agreement or the performance period.  

Revenues from research and development contracts are recognized based on the percentage of  completion method, measured 
by the percentage of  costs incurred over the estimated total costs for each contract or based on the achievement of  milestones 
specified in the contract. Management considers expended costs to be the best available measure of  progress on these contracts. 
Contract costs include all direct material and labour costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance. Provisions for 
estimated losses on incomplete contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. 

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of  cash on hand, deposits with banks and investments in highly liquid instruments with original 
maturities of  three months or less.  Due to the liquid nature of  these financial assets the Company has elected to classify them 
as held for trading.  There are no cash equivalents held at September 30, 2014 or 2013.

Financial assets and liabilities
All financial instruments, including derivatives, are included on the consolidated balance sheet and are measured either at fair 
market value or, in limited circumstances, at cost or amortized cost. Subsequent measurement and recognition of  the changes 
in fair value of  financial instruments depends upon their initial classifications as follows: 

-  Held-for-trading financial assets, measured at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in current period 

net income;

-  Held-to-maturity assets, loans and receivables and other financial liabilities, initially measured at fair value and subsequently 

measured at amortized cost with changes recognized in current period net income; and

-  Available-for-sale financial assets, measured at fair value with subsequent gains and losses included in other comprehensive 

income until the asset is removed from the balance sheet.

The following summarizes the Property’s classification and measurement of  financial assets and liabilities:

Financial assets: 
  Cash and cash equivalents 
  Accounts receivable 
  Restricted cash 
Financial liabilities: 
  Accounts payable and 
  accrued liabilities 

  Non-convertible debentures 
  Convertible debentures 
  Long-term-debt

Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of  financial assets or financial liabilities, other than 
financial assets and financial liabilities measured at FVTPL, are accounted for as part of  the carrying amount of  the respective 
asset or liability at inception.  Transaction costs related to financial instruments measured at amortized cost are amortized using 
the effective interest rate over the anticipated life of  the related instrument.

Transaction costs on financial assets and financial liabilities measured at FVTPL are expensed in the period incurred.

Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from financial assets expire or have been transferred.

All  derivative  instruments,  including  embedded  derivatives,  are  recorded  in  the  financial  statements  at  fair  value,  except  for 
embedded derivatives exempted from derivative accounting treatment.

Share issuance and financing costs
Share issue costs are recorded as a reduction of  share capital at the date of  closing.  Financing costs due to the issuance of  debt 
are deferred, recorded as a reduction of  the carrying value of  the related debt and amortized over the term of  the related debt 
using the effective interest method.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Inventory
Inventory is carried at the lower of  cost and market. Cost consists of  direct materials, direct labour and an overhead allocation 
and is determined on a first-in, first-out basis.  Market is defined as net realizable value, which is defined as the summation of  
the selling price plus the cost to complete plus the cost to sell.  Management reviews its reserve for obsolete inventory annually 
for finished goods and work-in-process.

Property and equipment
Property and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated at rates which will reduce 
the original cost to estimated residual value over the estimated useful life of  each asset. Amortization commences once the asset 
is available for use.

The following rates and methods are used:

Research and development equipment  
Other equipment and fixtures  
Leasehold improvements  
Buildings  

 Declining balance, 10-100%
 Declining balance, 10-30%
 Declining balance, 20%
 Declining balance, 4% 

Assets under lease
Leases that transfer substantially all of  the benefits and risks of  ownership of  the asset to the Company are accounted for as 
finance leases.  At the time a finance lease is entered into, an asset is recorded together with its related long-term obligation, 
reflecting the fair value of  future lease payments, discounted at the appropriate interest rates.  Assets under finance leases are 
amortized over their estimated useful lives at the same rates used for other equipment and fixtures.  All other leases are classified 
as operating leases and expensed on a straight line basis.

Intangible assets
Intangible assets represent technology costs, patents and trademarks, and rights and licenses.  Each is recorded at cost and is 
amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of  the agreements or over the useful life of  the asset.  Amortization commences 
when  the  intangible  asset  is  available  for  use.  Intangible  assets  with  definite  lives  but  not  yet  available  for  use  are  assessed 
annually for impairment.

Impairment of  long-lived assets
An impairment charge is recognized for long-lived assets, including intangible assets with definite lives, when an event or 
change in circumstances indicates that the assets’ carrying value may not be recoverable. Intangible assets not yet available 
for use are tested annually for impairment.  The impairment loss is calculated as the difference between the fair value of  the 
asset, less costs to sell and its value in use. Management has determined that no long-lived assets of  the Company in the years 
ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 have met the criteria for impairment.

Share-based compensation
The Company applies the fair value method of  accounting for share-based compensation for awards granted to officers, directors 
and employees of  the Company.  The fair value of  the award at the time of  granting is determined using the Black-Scholes 
option pricing model, and recognized as a compensation expense over the vesting period with an offsetting amount recorded to 
contributed surplus.  Each tranche in an award is considered a separate award with its own vesting period and grant date fair value. 

Share options issued to consultants of  the Company are based on the fair value of  the services provided. The amount of  the 
compensation cost recognized at any date at least equals the value of  the portion of  the options vested at that date.  When 
stock options are exercised, the consideration paid by employees or directors, together with the related amount in contributed 
surplus, is credited to share capital.  When an employee leaves the Company, vested options must be exercised within 90 days, or 
the options expire.  Any options that are unvested are reversed in the period that the employee leaves.  No valuation allowance 
has been made for the expected forfeitures upon issuance of  stock options with vesting periods, due to minor expectation of  
such events.

Foreign currency translation
Each asset, liability, revenue and expense is translated into Canadian dollars by the use of  the exchange rate in effect at the end 
of  the month in which the transaction occurs.  Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated 
into Canadian dollars at the exchange rate determined by the Bank of  Canada at the year-end date.  Exchange gains and losses 
arising on these transactions are included in the statement of  comprehensive income for the year.

The Company calculates basic income per share amounts for profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders. Basic income 
per share is calculated using the weighted average number of  common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per 
share is calculated in the same manner as basic income per share except for adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary 
equity holders and the weighted average number of  shares outstanding, for the effects of  all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Deferred taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated income tax consequences attributable to differences 
between financial statement carrying amounts of  assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases. Deferred income 
tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are expected to be 
recovered or settled. The effects of  changes in income tax rates are reflected in deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the year 
that the rate changes are substantively enacted.  

Research and development expenses
Costs associated with research and development activities are expensed during the year in which they are incurred net of  tax credits 
earned, except where product development costs meet the criteria under IFRS for deferral and amortization. 

Investment tax credits
The Company is entitled to Canadian federal and provincial investment tax credits which are earned as a percentage of  eligible 
research and development expenditures incurred in each taxation year. Investment tax credits are accounted for as a reduction of  
the related expenditure for items of  a current nature.  These credits are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there 
will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of  the credits in the foreseeable future.

4. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ISSUED BUT NOT YET APPLIED

Certain  new  standards,  interpretations,  amendments  and  improvements  to  existing  standards  were  issued  by  the  International 
Accounting  Standards  Board  (IASB)  or  IFRS  Interpretation  Committee  (IFRIC)  that  are  mandatory  at  certain  dates  or  later.  
Management is still assessing the effects of  the pronouncements on the Company.  The standards impacted that may be applicable 
to the Company are following:

IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments: Disclosures 
In December 2011, the IASB amended IFRS 7 to provide additional information about offsetting of  financial assets and financial 
liabilities. Additional disclosures will be required to enable users of  financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of  
netting arrangements on the entity’s financial position. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 
1, 2013. There was no impact to the financial statements as a result of  the adoption of  this update.

IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments
IFRS 9, issued in November 2009 and amended in October 2010, introduced new requirements for the classification and measurement 
of  financial assets and the classification and measurement of  financial liabilities and for their de-recognition. 

All recognized financial assets within the scope of  IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are to be subsequently 
measured at amortized cost or fair value. Specifically, debt investments that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of  
principal and interest are generally measured at amortized cost at the end of  subsequent periods. All other debt and equity investments 
are measured at their fair value at the end of  subsequent periods.

With regard to the measurement of  financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss, IFRS 9 requires that the amount 
of  change in the fair value of  the financial liability, that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of  that liability, is presented in other 
comprehensive income, unless the recognition of  the effects of  changes in the liability’s credit risk in other comprehensive income 
would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. Changes in fair value attributable to a financial liability’s credit risk are 
not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss.

The  directors  anticipate  that  the  application  of   IFRS  9  in  the  future  may  have  an  impact  on  amounts  reported  in  respect  of   the 
Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities. However, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of  the effect of  IFRS 
9 until a detailed review has been completed.

IFRS 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements
In May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 10, which establishes principles for the presentation and preparation of  consolidated financial 
statements when an entity controls one or more other entities. IFRS 10 supersedes International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 27, 
Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”) 12, Consolidation – Special Purpose 
Entities. IFRS 10 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. There was no impact to the Company’s financial 
statements as a result of  adopting this standard. 

IFRS 11 - Joint Arrangements
In May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements. This standard separates joint arrangements into joint ventures and joint 
operations and provides guidance on accounting for these types of  arrangements. IFRS 11 is effective for annual periods beginning on 
or after January 1, 2013. There was no impact to the Company’s financial statements as a result of  adopting this standard. 

IFRS 12 - Disclosures of  interests in other entities 
In May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 12, which outlines the disclosure requirements for interests in subsidiaries and other entities to 
enable users to evaluate the risks associated with interests in other entities and the effects of  those interests on an entity’s financial 
position, financial performance and cash flows. IFRS 12 supersedes IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and SIC-
12, Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. IFRS 12 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.  There was 
no impact to the Company’s financial statements as a result of  adopting this standard. 

IFRS 13 - Fair value measurement 
In May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement. This standard defines fair value, sets out a single IFRS framework 
for measuring fair value and outlines disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. IFRS 13 is effective for annual periods 
beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with early adoption permitted. This IFRS is to be applied prospectively as of  the beginning of  the 
annual period in which it is initially applied. Disclosure requirements do not need to be applied to the comparative periods prior to initial 
application. As a result of  adoption of  this standard, the Company provided additional disclosures in Notes 25 and 26. There were no 
other impacts to the consolidated financial statements as a result of  the adoption of  this standard. 

5. INVENTORY

During the year ended September 30, 2014, inventories in the amount of  $1,780,819 (2013 - $1,640,581) were recognized as an 
expense through cost of  sales. The cost of  inventories recognized as an expense includes $Nil (2013 - $67,813) in respect of  
write-downs of  inventory to net realizable value.  The allowance for inventory impairment as at September 30, 2014 was $27,933 
(2013 - $27,933).

6. PREPAID EXPENSES AND OTHER ASSETS

Prepaid expenses as at September 30, 2014 were $497,811 (2013 - $75,827) and primarily consist of  insurance policy premiums, a 
contractually required refundable deposit with a research and development partner, and retainers with the Company’s legal counsel.

7. RESTRICTED CASH

As a condition of  the loan agreement with the Business Development Bank in Note 12, $250,000 was restricted and held as an 
irrevocable unconditional Letter of  Credit.  On February 7, 2014 the Business Development Bank advised the Company it had met 
the performance criteria required to release the restricted cash of  $250,000. On meeting the performance criteria, the Company 
reclassified these monies into Cash and cash equivalents on the statement of  financial position.

9. INTANGIBLE ASSETS  (Continued)

a) Lumisort™
The Company acquired a license agreement from Sequent Biotechnologies Inc. (“Sequent”), a biotechnology company solely 
involved in the development and commercialization of  the Lumisort™ technology under license. New intellectual property 
with the issue of  patents has resulted from this research program.  These assets are in the process of  being developed and 
new patents are pending and under development.

b) Kinlytic®
The Company acquired the assets and rights pertaining to development, production, and licensing of  Kinlytic® from 
Abbott Laboratories in 2008. These assets are in the process of  being commercialized.

The  recoverable  amount  of   the  Kinlytic®  intangible  has  been  determined  based  on  its  fair  value  less  cost  to  sell.  This 
estimate uses risk-adjusted cash flow projections based on probability-weighted financial budgets. 

Management made these assumptions based on probabilities of  technical, regulatory and clinical acceptances and financial 
support. Management believes that any reasonably-possible change in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount 
is based would not cause the carrying amount to exceed its recoverable amount.

10. BANK INDEBTEDNESS   

The Company has a revolving line of  credit of  $500,000 with its Canadian chartered bank that bears interest at the bank’s 
prime lending rate plus 2.25%. Accounts receivable and property, plant and equipment are pledged as collateral for the 
bank credit facility.  As at September 30, 2014 and 2013, the line of  credit was fully unused.

The  debentures  denoted  (a),  (b),  and  (f)  are  secured  against  the  real  property  and  the  personal  property  of   the  Company 
including without limiting the foregoing, a registered second mortgage on the property at 265 Watline Avenue, Mississauga, 
Ontario in favour of  the holder, its successors and assigns subordinate only to indebtedness to a Canadian chartered bank or 
similar financial institution on normal commercial terms up to their maximum principal. 

The debentures denoted (c) and (d) are secured by a subordinated security agreement covering all of  the Company’s property 
and assets, including its goodwill.

The  debenture  denoted  (e)  was  extinguished  in  the  current  fiscal  year.  Upon  extinguishment,  the  Company  allocated  the 
consideration paid along with transaction costs incurred consistent with the method used in the allocation of  proceeds between 
debt and equity when the debenture was originally issued. The result of  this allocation was a $Nil gain in the consolidated 
statement of  comprehensive income and recognition of  $1,071,626 of  contributed surplus.

11. DEBENTURES (Continued)

Convertible debentures contain two components: liability and equity elements. The equity element is presented in equity under 
the heading of  “equity component of  debenture”. Convertible debentures are initially accounted for in accordance with their 
substance and are presented in the financial statements in their component parts measured at the time of  issue.  The debt 
components were valued first with the residual to shareholders’ equity. Over the term of  the convertible debentures, the debt 
components will be accreted to the face value of  the debentures by the recording of  additional interest expense using the 
effective interest rate, as detailed below. 

All of  the debentures were issued to a shareholder of  the company.

As the issuance of  the non-convertible debenture denoted as (a) and the cancellation of  the convertible debenture denoted 
as (e), were transacted with the same shareholder and represented a substantial modification in the terms, the non-convertible 
debenture is being accounted for in accordance with its substance and is presented in the financial statements as new debt, 
measured at fair value at the time of  the issue.

During the fiscal year, the BDC offered a 6 month deferral of  principal payments on the mortgage, beginning with the payment 
for  April,  2014.  The  deferral  amounted  to  $55,560  and,  as  a  result,  the  monthly  principal  payments  of   $9,260  have  been 
extended into August of  2037.

to interest at the BDC’s Floating Base Rate plus 0.5%, with monthly repayments of  principal and interest of  $10,250 starting in 
August, 2015. The funds were advanced to the Company from the BDC subsequent to year-end and as at September 30, 2014, 
the outstanding balance on this loan is $Nil.

13. DEFERRED REVENUE

In 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with the Animal Fine Breeding Station of  Hebei Province in China, as the 
exclusive distributor of  Microbix’ proprietary Semen Sexing Technology (“SST”). Under the terms of  the agreement, the 
Company had received a non-refundable payment of  $400,000 US and will receive an additional payment upon a milestone 
achievement. Royalty fees and payment for materials will be made with product sales.

This payment is being accounted for in accordance with its substance and is presented in the financial statements as deferred 
revenue on the statement of  financial position. The Company will defer recognition of  this revenue until all of  the deliverables 
in the agreement are complete. At September 30, 2014, all of  the deliverables have not been met and are not expected to be met 
within the next fiscal year and therefore no amount has been recognized or reclassified to current liabilities.

14. SHARE CAPITAL

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of  Common Shares with no par value and an unlimited number 
of  Preference Shares with no par value. The changes in issued and fully paid common shares are noted in the Consolidated

17. STOCK OPTION PLAN
On March 5, 2013, the shareholders of  the Company approved a resolution to amend the Company’s stock option plan.  
This amendment changed the total number of  Common Shares available to be issued under the plan from a maximum of  
10,000,000 to a maximum of  12,000,000 common shares.  Under the plan, the Company has a total of  4,354,000 options 
issued and pending (2013 - 6,660,000).  

The exercise price of  each option equals no less that the market price at the date immediately preceding the date of  the 
grant. In general, options issued under the plan vest and are exercisable in equal amounts in three steps, at the issue date and 
at the anniversary date in the subsequent two years.  Management does not expect any stock options issued in the year and 
remaining unvested at the year-end to be forfeited before they vest.

The following table reflects the activity under the Company’s stock option plan period ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

17. STOCK OPTION PLAN (continued)

The fair value of  options granted during the year ended September 30 was estimated at the grant date using the Black-
Scholes options pricing model, resulting in the following weighted-average assumptions:

   Share price on issue date 
   Dividend yield 
   Volatility 
   Risk-free interest rate 
   Expected option life (years) 
   Weighted average fair value 
        of  each option ($/option) 

2013

$0.28
0.00%
94.7%
5.00%
5

0.19

The volatility of  the stock for the Black-Scholes options pricing model was based on 5-year historic volatility of  the Company’s 
stock price on the Toronto Stock Exchange.  Management believes that the historic stock volatility provides a fair and appropriate 
basis of  estimate for the expected future volatility of  the stock.  Stock options are assumed to be exercised at the end of  the option’s 
life, as management believes the probability of  an early exercise is remote.

During the year, the fair value of  the options vested in the year were expensed and credited to contributed surplus. 

18. INCOME PER SHARE

Basic income per share is calculated using the weighted average number of  shares outstanding. Diluted income per share 
reflects the dilutive effect of  the exercise of  stock options, warrants and convertible debt. The following table reconciles 
the net income and the number of  shares for the basic and diluted loss per share computations:

24.  CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The  Company’s  capital  management  objective  is  to  safeguard  its  ability  to  function  as  a  going-concern  to  maintain  its 
virology operations and to fund its development activities.  Microbix defines its capital to include the revolving line of  
credit, shareholders’ equity, the Business Development Bank capital loan, and the debentures.  The capital at September 
30, 2014 was $15,760,664 (2013 - $11,199,751).

To date, the Company has used common equity issues, debentures and a bank mortgage to fund its activities. The equity 
is  through  private  placements,  the  debentures  are  all  controlled  by  private  individuals  known  to  the  Company  and  the 
mortgage is with the Business Development Bank. If  possible, the Company tries to optimize its liquidity needs by non-
dilutive sources, including investment tax credits, grants and interest income. The Company has a revolving line of  credit 
of  $500,000 with its Canadian chartered bank, Note 10. 

The Company’s general policy is to not pay dividends and retain cash to keep funds available to finance the Company’s 
growth. However, the Board of  Directors may, from time to time, choose to declare a dividend in assets if  warranted by 
circumstances.  There was no change during the year in how the Company defines its capital or how it manages its capital.

25. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair value of  a financial instrument is approximated by the consideration that would be agreed to in an arm’s length 
transaction between willing parties and through appropriate valuation methods, but considerable judgment is required for 
the Company to determine the value.  The actual amount that could be realized in a current market exchange could be 
different than the estimated value. 

The  carrying  amounts  of   cash  and  cash  equivalents,  accounts  receivable,  bank  indebtedness  and  accounts  payable  and 
accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of  these instruments.

The fair value of  the long-term debt is based on rates currently available for items with similar terms and maturities.  The 
convertible and non-convertible debenture fair values are not readily determinable as the convertible debentures have been 
issued to shareholders of  the Company.

26. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The primary risks that affect the Company are set out below and the risks have not changed during the reporting year.  
The list does not cover all risks to the Company, nor is there an assurance that the strategy of  management to mitigate the 
risks is sufficient to eliminate the risk.  

a) Credit risk

The  Company’s  cash  and  cash  equivalents  are  held  in  accounts  or  short-term  interest  bearing  accounts  at  one  of   the 
major Canadian chartered banks.  Management perceives the credit risk to be low.  There is a concentration of  accounts 
receivable risk due to the few large customers comprising the Company’s international customer base.  In fiscal 2014, four 
customers account for 82% (2013 - four customers account for 43%) of  revenue.  The Company has had minimal bad 
debts over the past several years and accordingly management has recorded an allowance of  $1,018 (2013 - $54,013).

Trade accounts receivable are aged as follows at September 30:

31 - 60 days past due

Through its global sales the Company is exposed to currency risk, through fluctuations in the exchange rate affecting sales 
and receivables denominated in US dollars and Euros.  The Company does not use financial instruments to hedge these 
risks.  At September 30, the significant balances, quoted in Canadian dollars, held in foreign currencies are:

Cash  
Accounts receivable 
Accounts payable and 
    accrued liabilities

The impact of  a 1 cent increase in the Canadian dollar against the US dollar would result in a revenue loss of  about 1%.  
The impact of  a 1 cent increase in the Canadian dollar against the Euro would result in a revenue loss of  about 1.4%.  

c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meets its financial obligations as they fall due.  To manage 
this situation, the Company projects and monitors its cash requirements to accommodate changes in liquidity needs.   

d) Interest rate risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to cash flow interest rate risk are those assets and liabilities with 
a variable interest rate.  Interest risk exposure is primarily on the BDC debt that has a variable rate that is pegged to the bank 
rate.  The rate can be fixed, if  the outlook for interest rates should move higher.  The only other variable debt the Company 
has is the $500,000 line of  credit that bears interest at the bank’s prime lending rate plus 2.25%.  A 1% increase in the bank 
rate would cost the Company approximately $30,000 per year for BDC and about $5,000 on the line of  credit usage.

e) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in product prices based on supply and demand criteria, foreign exchange rates and 
interest  rates  will  affect  the  Company’s  income  or  the  value  of   the  financial  instruments  held.  Microbix  products  are 
valuable components in many of  our customers’ products and not easily replaced.  The Company works closely with key 
customers to ensure our products meet critical customer results.

f) Fair value

The Company categorizes its financial assets and liabilities measured at the fair value into one of  three different levels 
depending on the observation of  the inputs used in the measurement. 

For the 2014 and 2013 fiscal periods, the Company has only the financial instruments in Level 1. At September 30, 2014, 
the Company`s financial instruments are cash and cash equivalents for an amount of  $547,356 (2013 - $260,048) which 
are considered to be Level 1 instruments. There were no transfers between levels during the year.

26. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)
f) Fair value (Continued)

The three levels are defined as follows:

a)  Level 1: Fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

b)  Level 2: Fair value is based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are not observable for the 

asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

c)  Level 3: Fair value is based on valuation techniques that require one or more significant unobservable inputs.

27 . SEGMENTED INFORMATION

The Company operates in two industries:  the development, manufacturing and distribution of  cell based products and 
technology and, provision of  facility, technical and production personnel for contract research and development. External 
revenue by segment is attributed to geographic regions based on the location of  customers:  North America, Europe and 
Other foreign countries. 

The following is an analysis of  the Company’s revenue and results from continuing operations by reportable segment:

Segment  revenue  reported  above  represents  revenue  generated  from  external  customers.  There  were  no  inter-segment 
sales in the current year (2013 - $Nil).

The accounting policies of  the reportable segments are the same as the Company’s accounting policies described in Note 3. 
Segment profit represents the profit before tax earned by each segment without allocation of  central administration costs 
and directors’ salaries, share of  profits of  associates, gain recognised on disposal of  interest in former associate, investment 
income, other gains and losses as well as finance costs. This is the measure reported to the chief  operating decision maker 
for the purposes of  resource allocation and assessment of  segment performance.

All assets are allocated to reportable segments other than interests in associates and current and deferred tax assets. Assets 
used jointly by reportable segments are allocated on the basis of  the revenues earned by individual reportable segments. All 
liabilities are allocated to reportable segments other than borrowings and current and deferred tax liabilities. Liabilities for 
which reportable segments are jointly liable are allocated in proportion to segment assets.
