Dear Shareholders,  

For  MedMira,  2013  was  a  year  of  strategic  building.    Our  team  worked 
vigorously  to  set  the  stage  and  generate  momentum  for  positive  and 
significant  growth  across  key  areas  of  our  business  in  the  coming  year.  
During much of 2013 the focus was on ensuring that we strengthened our 
financial position; evolved our brand to a position of leadership in key global 
markets;  aligned  internal  and  external  resources  for  success;  and  moved 
new  products  forward  in  the  commercialization  pipeline  for  launches 
beginning in 2014.  Despite challenges along the way, I am pleased to report 
that, with many of our initiatives implemented and a solid partner network 
in place, we are well positioned to capitalize on the opportunities before us. 

Critical  to  the  Company’s  strategic  programs,  particularly  business 
development and product commercialization, was continued improvement 
of the Company’s overall operating position and financial stability.  Early in 
the  year  we  concluded  our  debt  restructuring  program  which  in  total 
eliminated  nearly  $13  million  in  debt.    At  year  end  our  revenues  had 
increased by over $1 million compared to 2012.  Building on this stability, 
MedMira received $6.105 million in new equity financing from its largest 
and majority shareholder, OnSite Lab Holding AG, subsequent to the year 
in  the  global  market 
end,  further  demonstration  of  their  belief 
opportunities for our patented rapid flow-through technology and testing 
products.    

In December 2013, Jelle Kuypers joined MedMira as Chief Financial Officer, 
bringing  to  MedMira  international  experience  in  finance,  strategic  and 
operational  planning,  from  previous  senior  financial  roles  in  Canada, 
Switzerland  and  the  Middle  East.    Jelle’s  expertise  in  developing  and 
implementing  strong 
financial  and  organizational  platforms  and 
information  systems  is  fully  aligned  with  our  strategy  for  streamlining 
processes for increased efficiency across our organization.   

As our financial position continued to stabilize, it enabled the advancement 
of  our  sales,  marketing  and  business  development  programs  on  a  global 
basis.  Expansion in this area of our business began with the launch of an 
evolved brand for MedMira early in the year.  MedMira’s new brand clearly 
illustrates  what  is  at  the  core  of  our  Company,  our  patented  rapid  flow-
through  technology.    Our  technology  is  what  truly  sets  our  rapid  testing 
solutions apart from the competition and uniquely positions us to offer our 
customers  something  very  different  and  advantageous  to  their  testing 
programs.

We are primed for a major sales and marketing push into the United States.  
In September, Kevin Jones joined the Company as Senior Director, Global 
Sales & Marketing.  With over 20 years of significant industry experience, 
Kevin is leading our rapid expansion in the U.S. market as we boost our sales 
and distribution channels with a new strategic partner in preparation for 
product launches in 2014.  We will introduce new products for the research 
and  education  market  under  the  Miriad  product  range  as  well  as  a  new 
rapid HIV test to answer the demand for increased routine HIV screening 
for all people aged 15-65.  Also joining the sales, marketing, and business 
development  team  is  Markus  Meile  in  the  role  of  Senior  Director, 
International  Markets.    In  this  capacity,  Markus  focuses  on  the  continual 
development of our strategic relationships with global health organizations 
such  as  the  World  Health  Organization,  the  United  Nations,  and  other 
NGOs,  aid  agencies,  and  government  agencies  working  to  bring  quality 
diagnostics to every region of the world.   

Our ongoing global sales initiatives will come to the forefront in 2014.  In 
significant emerging markets such as China and India, we have solidified key 
distribution channels, collaborations, and a strategic partner network that 
will enable us to push product into these markets and expand our market 
presence  in  2014.    In  the  Middle  East/North  Africa  region,  our  strategic 
partners  are  making  significant  progress  in  acquiring  new  business  in 
several different countries and have secured many in-country registrations 
in  preparation  for  full-scale  launches  in  2014.    Key  Middle  East  target 
markets will be the public health sector where governments are ramping 
up  spending  on  infrastructure  and  programs,  as  well  as  the  enormous 
expatriate  population  coming  to  the  region  for  work,  as  they  must  first 
undergo screening tests as part of their visa processing.    

Our product commercialization team is on track to turn out new products 
in 2014, further enhancing our diagnostics portfolio.  The Company’s major 
thrust  in  product  commercialization  is  focused  on  bringing  three  new 
products  to  the  U.S.  market,  two  of  which  are  being  developed  under 
contract with the U.S. Army.  The Multiplo HBc/HIV/HCV and Reveal HBsAg 
projects  are  moving  along  on  pace,  meeting  all  major  milestones.  
Subsequent to the year end, our contract with the U.S. Army expanded by

USD$1.917  million.    This  funding  facilitates  parallel  clinical  trial  testing 
which will enable complementary label claims and further expand the utility 
of  the  product  in  additional  settings.      The  third  major  product  we  are 
bringing  to  the  U.S.  market  is  an  advanced  Reveal  rapid  HIV  test,  which 
includes whole blood applications and CLIA-waived status.  While the U.S. 
is the initial target with these products we anticipate quickly rolling them 
out in other major global markets such as Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.    

Driving our product commercialization activities is the core engine of our 
business,  our  rapid  flow-through  technology.    As  our  product  portfolio 
continues  to  expand  based  on  this  platform,  so  does  the  interest  in  the 
technology itself.  Its unique advantages of speed and multiplexing, which 
deliver  superior  benefits  to  the  user  and  are  unmet  by  alternative 
technologies, have captured the attention of a broad spectrum of audiences 
worldwide.    Organizations  such  as  the  United  States  Food  and  Drug 
Administration  now  see  multiplex  rapid  testing  as  a  critical  sub-sector  in 
diagnostics,  realizing  the  exponential  benefits  multiplexing  can  bring  to 
both  patient  care  and  the  providers  bottom  line.    The  World  Health 
Organization, a leader in global health matters, understands that multiplex 
rapid tests present a “golden opportunity” to screen for multiple diseases 
under  an  integrated  testing  program  model.    Earlier  this  year,  at  their 
invitation, we submitted our Multiplo TP/HIV rapid test for WHO evaluation 
and  the  process  is  moving along  on  track.    This  year  our  technology  was 
recognized  by  the  Canadian  Manufacturers  and  Exporters  as  Innovative 
New Technology and we continue to work with world class collaborators 
and organizations like the National Research Council of Canada to further 
expand our technology platform.   

The  ongoing  transformation  of  our  Company  will  continue  to  generate 
positive  momentum,  increase  our  productivity  and  efficiency  across  all 
areas of the business, contribute to the successful launch of new products 
in global markets, and deliver substantial growth and shareholder value in 
2014.  With this in mind, I hope that you share in our excitement about the 
future  of  MedMira.    Thank  you  to  all  of  our  stakeholders,  customers, 
partners, employees, and shareholders, for your continued support.

Forward looking statements 

This document contains forward looking statements,  such as statements regarding future sales opportunities in various 
global regions and financing initiatives that are based on current expectations of management. These statements involve 
uncertainties  and  risks,  including  MedMira  Inc.’s  (MedMira  or  the  Company)  ability  to  obtain  and/or  access  additional

Corporate update 

During Fiscal Year 2013, MedMira improved its overall operating position by establishing greater financial stability early in 
the year which enabled many of its planned business development and product commercialization activities to advance on 
schedule throughout the remaining quarters. 

In the first quarter, MedMira completed the final phase of its debt restructuring initiative which began in 2012, making debt 
settlement arrangements with the Company’s debt holders and moving to a position where it was no longer in default on 
any of its loans.  In total this program eliminated $12,856,095 in debt and created a stable financial platform on which the 
Company continued to operate on for the remainder of 2013.   

MedMira continued the expansion of its sales, marketing and business development activities around the globe, taking up 
initiatives focused in various major, emerging and development markets.  These activities were supported by the launch of 
an evolved brand identity and redesigned corporate website during the second quarter.  The Company undertook a re-
branding  initiative  to  clearly  illustrate  its  innovative  mindset  and  its  core  focus  on  technology  and  high  quality  testing 
solutions. MedMira’s new icon identifies with the Company name, the unique vertical flow-through technology that sets it 
apart, and the advanced multiplex capabilities of its testing solutions that deliver three results on a single platform.  Brand 
building continued during the remainder of the year with full integration into all marketing communications vehicles and 
the launch of an extranet tool to support the Company’s international strategic partner network of collaborators, agents, 
and distributors. 

The Company’s major market focus was the United States and the expansion of its product lines and related sales, marketing 
and  business  development  activities  in  this  market.  During  the  second  quarter,  MedMira’s  development  and

commercialization work with the US military expanded with the addition of a second rapid test for transfusion transmitted 
diseases under a consolidated contract.  MedMira was awarded a United States Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity 
(USAMRAA) contract in  July  2011 and a  second contract in July 2012.   To create  greater operational  efficiencies as the 
projects  move  forward  in  parallel,  the  work  is  now  combined  under  a  single  concerted  effort  which  involves  the 
development  and  commercialization  of  two  rapid  tests  –  Multiplo  Rapid  HBc/HIV/HCV  Antibody  Test  (Multiplo 
HBc/HIV/HCV) and Reveal Rapid Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Test (Reveal HBsAg).  The Company continues to build on its 
portfolio  of  business  within  the  military  sector  through  sales  and  marketing  initiatives  like  the  Military  Health  System 
Research Symposium, which draws an international audience of military healthcare experts and decision makers focused 
on the unique needs of the military combatant. 

Beyond the military sector, market research indicates that there are significant applications for the Multiplo HBc/HIV/HCV 
and Reveal HBsAg testing solutions as HIV and hepatitis infection rates continue to rise in the US and globally.  Multiplo and 
Reveal  will  be  the  first  FDA-approved  rapid  tests  for  Hepatitis  B  and  all  three  diseases  in  combination.    These  testing 
solutions will have a major impact on public health initiatives like the CDC’s education campaign “Know More Hepatitis” 
aimed at the 3 million Americans infected with Hepatitis C and 1.4 million infected with Hepatitis B.  Rapid testing solutions 
like  Multiplo  and  Reveal  enable  an  increased  number  of  people  to  be  tested,  know  their  status,  access  treatment,  and 
prevent the further spread of these diseases.   

In addition to Multiplo HBc/HIV/HCV and Reveal HBsAg, the Company moved its whole blood rapid HIV test for the for US 
market toward FDA submission and approval.  The addition of MedMira’s whole blood rapid HIV test in the US market will 
enable the Company to meet the growing demand for point-of-care rapid HIV tests spurred by the US Preventative Services 
Task  Force  new  guidelines  calling  for  the  routine  HIV  screening  for  everyone  aged  15  to  65  years  old  and  all  pregnant 
women.  MedMira’s whole blood rapid HIV test can be used in physician offices, convenience care clinics, mobile testing 
vehicles, and large scale public health programs where the vast majority of this screening will take place.   

The  Company’s  product  lines  continue  to  expand  as  does  the  interest  in  its  patented  rapid  flow-through  technology 
platform.  The unique advantages, including multiplex testing capabilities, which this technology brings to clinical users and 
researchers is unmet by other rapid diagnostic platforms.  During the third quarter, Company representatives attended a 
US  FDA  public  workshop  on  the  advances  in  multiplex  rapid  testing.    The  purpose  of  this  workshop,  organized  by  the 
American  Association  of  Blood  Bankers  (AABB),  Advanced  Medical  Technology  Association  (AdvaMed),  America’s  Blood 
Centers, Department of Health and Human Services Offices of the Assistant Secretary of Health and the National Heart, 
Lung and Blood Institute (NIH), was to discuss the research and development as it relates to multiplex tests and the use of 
these tests in blood donor screening and blood cell antigen typing.   

In emerging markets, predominantly China and India, the Company continued to advance various business development 
initiatives  towards  continued  product  sales,  collaborations,  and  distribution  partnerships.    In  India,  work  continues  to 
establish solid distribution channels to the private healthcare market.  During the third quarter, the Company participated 
in the Hong Kong International Medical Devices and Supplies Fair, which drew over 7,000 visitors from 64 different countries 
and  regions.    MedMira’s  participation  in  this  event  was  supported  by  the  Canadian  Trade  Commissioner  Service  which 
organized various business development meetings and an event for selected companies, which included MedMira, to meet 
with members of the media from around the world.   

Sales, marketing and business development activities continued in developing markets, particularly Latin America and the 
Caribbean, where distribution partners in Panama and Colombia continued to gain market traction.  Sales of Reveal HIV in 
Belize increased with further orders through Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) while the Company’s distributor in 
Panama was successful in winning a tender for Multiplo HBV/HIV/HCV.  MedMira and its strategic partners continue to 
pursue business in other developing markets including the Middle East and Africa, however, timelines on the successful 
conclusion of these activities remain uncertain due to various economic and political influences in these regions. 

8 

 
 
 
 
 
Business development initiatives with a global focus continued with procurement and industry stakeholder organizations 
such as the CDC and the World Health Organization (WHO).  The Company’s Reveal HIV is in the final stages of the WHO 
prequalification process.  During the third quarter, the WHO presented MedMira with a letter of invitation to submit the 
Multiplo Syphilis/HIV rapid test for prequalification.  The WHO, a leader in global health matters, includes the elimination 
of mother-to-child transmission of both Syphilis and HIV as one of its key focus areas and it recommends that all pregnant 
women be screened for these diseases.  Rapid tests are a key part of this equation and includes the Multiplo Syphilis/HIV 
dossier was submitted to the WHO during the fourth quarter.  Relationships with procurement agencies and NGOs is key 
to generating product sales in developing markets where healthcare infrastructure is limited or not yet mature enough to 
conduct thorough evaluations of diagnostic tools for large scale testing needs.   

MedMira remains focused on the advancement of its patented rapid flow-through technology.  Rapid diagnostics continue 
to grow as a mainstream healthcare solution for both developed and developing regions of the world.  During 2013, the 
Company conducted in-house research and development work and undertook collaborative research opportunities with 
various researchers and organizations to further explore the potential applications of its technology and testing solutions.  
During the second quarter, MedMira was honored with the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters award for Innovative 
New Technology (Atlantic Canada/Nunavut) for its development and commercialization work on the new test platform that 
will capture both antigens and antibodies and provide an earlier HIV diagnosis.

substantially different terms from the original agreements. These were treated as an extinguishment of the original 
liability and the recognition of a new liability. These debt arrangements were valued using a rate of approximately 
11.8%, representing a reasonable exit price for the liabilities. This resulted in a gain of $2,027,442. 

− 

In the year ended July 31, 2013, the Company completed its debt settlement negotiations. As a result, the company

31, 2013, none of the Company’s loans were in default.  

Further discussion on liquidity and capital resources can be found in this document in the Liquidity Risk section, Risk and 
Uncertainties section, as well as in the notes for the Company’s July 31, 2013 audited consolidated financial statements. 

Equity/Shares 

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares without par value. The number of issued and 
outstanding  common  shares  on  July  31,  2013  was  392,264,320.  The  Company  is  also  authorized  to  issue  an  unlimited 
number of Series A preferred shares redeemable at $0.01 per share after March 31, 2010, convertible into an equal number 
of common shares upon the Company meeting certain milestones. There were 5,000,000 Series A preferred shares issued 
and outstanding on July 31, 2013. 

The Company had 4,530,000 outstanding stock options on July 31, 2013. The outstanding stock options have a weighted 
average exercise price of $0.10 per share and a weighted average remaining term of 1 year. The number of outstanding 
warrants on July 31, 2013 was 196,119,500. The outstanding warrants have a weighted average exercise price of $0.10 per 
share and a weighted average remaining term of 2.45 years. 

Off balance sheet arrangements 

The Company was not party to any off balance sheet arrangements as of July 31, 2013.  

Financial instruments – fair value 

The  Company  recognizes  financial  instruments  based  on  classification.  Depending  on  the  financial  instruments’ 
classification, changes in subsequent measurements are recognized in net loss or other comprehensive loss. The Company 
has implemented the classifications listed below. 

Financial assets 

−  Cash and bank balances: Classified as available for sale and recorded at fair market value. Changes in fair value for the 

year are recorded in net income or net loss. 

− 

Trade  and  other  receivables:  After  initial  fair  value  measurement,  trade  and  other  receivables  are  measured  at 
amortized cost using the effective interest method. 

Financial liabilities 

− 

Total bank indebtedness and current portion of debt, deferred income, trade and other payables, provision for royalty: 
After initial fair value measurement, these financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest 
method. 

Management believes the carrying value of accounts receivable, bank indebtedness, and accounts payable and accrued 
liabilities approximate fair value at the year-end due to their short-term nature. 

15 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve 
uncertainties and matters of significant judgement and cannot be determined with precision. Change in assumptions and 
estimates could significantly affect fair values. 

Financial instruments – risk factors 

MedMira  has  exposure  to  the  following  risks  from  its  financial  instruments:  liquidity  risk,  credit  risk,  currency  risk,  and 
interest rate risk. Senior management monitors risk levels and reviews risk management activities as necessary. 

Liquidity risk 

The Company manages liquidity by forecasting and monitoring operating cash flows and through the use of revolving credit 
facilities and share issuances. 

The Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations on a cumulative basis since inception.  For the 
year ended July 31, 2013, the Company realized a net loss of approximately $0.4 million (July 31, 2012 – net income $3.4 
million), consisting of a net loss from operations of $2.2 million (July 31, 2012 – net loss $2.4 million), a gain on forgiveness 
of debt of $0.7 million (July 31, 2012 – $10.1 million), a valuation gain on renegotiation of debt of $2.0 million (July 31, 2012 
– $nil) and other non-operating losses of $1.0 (July 31, 2012 – $4.5 million). Negative cash flows from operations were 
approximately $2.1 million (July 31, 2012 – $2.2 million).  As at July 31, 2013, the Company had an accumulated deficit of 
approximately $71.0 million (July 31, 2012 – $70.6 million).  In addition to its on-going working capital requirements, the 
Company must secure sufficient funding for its research and development programs for existing commitments, including 
its current portion of loans of approximately $2.2 million.  These circumstances lend significant doubt as to the ability of 
the  Company  to  meet  its  obligations  as  they  come  due  and,  accordingly,  the  appropriateness  of  the  use  of  accounting 
principles applicable to a going-concern. 

Management  is  pursuing  other  financing  alternatives  to  fund  the  Company’s  operations  so  it  can  continue  as  a  going-
concern. Management plans to secure the necessary financing through new equity and debt arrangements. Nevertheless, 
there is no assurance that this initiative will be successful. 

Credit risk 

Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the 
Company. The Company mitigates this risk by requiring a 50% down payment on most orders at the time of purchase, and 
the remaining 50% prior to shipment. The Company derives approximately 62% (July 31, 2012—82%) of its revenue from 
two (July 31, 2012—two) main customers and, for these customers, assesses the recoverability of each account on a regular 
basis. As of July 31, 2013, 85% of the accounts receivable balance is due from two customers (July 31, 2012—78% due from 
three customers) and no other customers account for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balances as at July 31, 
2013. 

Currency risk 

MedMira receives most of its revenues in foreign currencies and incurs expenses in US and Canadian currencies. As a result, 
the Company is subject to uncertainty as foreign exchange rates fluctuate. The Company’s US dollar (USD) denoted debt is 
approximately  US$5,000  plus  accrued  interest  payable  of  approximately  US$255,604  at  July  31,  2013.  The  exchange 
fluctuations from year to year have accounted for a significant portion of the company’s exchange gain and loss. Most sales 
are in USD, however, they are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on or near the transaction date and collected in a 
timely manner. 

The  Company  also  experiences  currency  exposure  resulting  from  balance  sheet  fluctuations  of  US-denominated  cash, 
accounts receivable, accounts payable and US-denominated liabilities. 

16 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
MedMira mitigates this currency risk by maintaining a balance of USD currency which is used to pay down US-denominated 
liabilities and replenishes the balance through US-denominated revenues. 

A one cent change in the USD/CAD exchange rate would have an estimated impact on revenue of $500. 

Interest rate risk 

The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk as it borrows funds at fixed rates. 

Related party transactions 

The following transactions occurred with related parties during the year ended July 31, 2013: 

•  A short term loan totalling $523,000 bearing 3% interest was received from Onsite Lab Holding AG. During the 

• 

year $3,460 in interest was accrued against this loan. 
Short term loans totalling $106,973 bearing 3% interest were received from a director. During the year, $805 
in interest was accrued against these loans. 
•  Director fees totalling $16,250 were incurred. 
• 

Consulting fees totalling $82,233 were incurred. 

The following balances with related parties were outstanding at July 31, 2013: 

•  A receivable balance of $8,630 was owed to MedMira by a company which is presided over by a director (July 

31, 2012 – $8,630). 

•  Accounts payable totalling $37,244 was due to directors (July 31, 2012 – $24,181). 
•  A short term loan totalling $526,460 was due to OnSite Lab Holding AG (July 31, 2012 – $nil). 
•  A short term loan totalling $107,778 was due to a director (July 31, 2012 – $nil). 
•  A royalty provision was owed to OnSite Lab Holding AG of $739,817 (July 31, 2012 – $401,443). 

Subsequent events 

In September 2013, the Company completed a $6.105 million equity investment from OnSite Lab Holding AG (OnSite Lab). 
Under the terms of the deal, Onsite Lab acquired 122,100,000 equity units at $0.05 per unit. Each equity unit consists of 
one  common  share  and  one  common  share  purchase  warrant.  Each  full  warrant  entitles  Onsite  Lab  to  purchase  one 
common share of MedMira at $0.10 per share for a four year period. The common shares and the warrants are subject to 
a four month hold period that expires four months from the day of share issuance. With the completion of this transaction, 
Onsite Lab now owns 68.5% of the undiluted common shares in Medmira. 

Internal control systems and disclosure controls 

To  ensure  the  integrity  and  objectivity  of  the  data,  management  maintains  a  system  of  internal  controls  comprising  of 
written policies, procedures and a program of internal reviews which provides reasonable assurance that transactions are 
recorded and executed in accordance with its authorization that assets are properly safeguarded and that reliable financial 
records are maintained. 

Management is currently updating existing  standardized processes to improve internal controls and reduce compliance 
costs. The updated controls will help improve timeliness and accuracy of financial records as well as continue to ensure that 
the Company’s assets are properly safeguarded. 

17 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Disclosure controls and procedures within MedMira have been designed to provide reasonable assurance that all relevant 
information is identified to the Disclosure Committee to ensure appropriate and timely decisions are made regarding public 
disclosure. 

Management,  under  the  supervision  of  the  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  Chief  Financial  Officer,  has  evaluated  the 
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and based on this evaluation, has concluded that 
internal control over financial reporting was effective as of July 31, 2013. 

Due to inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls can provide only reasonable 
assurances and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Furthermore, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to 
future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the 
degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. 

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of MedMira reviewed this MD&A, and the consolidated financial statements 
of MedMira for July 31, 2013 and MedMira’s Board of Directors approved these documents prior to release.  

Risk and uncertainties 

The Company’s base of activity has expanded to manufacturing products for distribution in international markets, making 
it difficult to accurately predict future operating results. Actual future results may differ significantly in any forward-looking 
statements. Currently, the Company is not making sufficient sales to be self-sustaining. As a result, the Company’s financial 
condition, business and operations, and intellectual property are exposed to a variety of risk factors. These risks include, 
but are not limited to, those listed below. 

Risks and uncertainties related to the Company’s financial condition 

Need for additional capital 

Cash generated from operations is insufficient to satisfy  working capital and capital expenditure requirements, and the 
Company is operating with a substantial working capital deficit. The Company will need to secure additional financing in the 
near term in order to continue as a going concern which may include the sale of additional equity or debt securities or 
obtaining additional credit facilities. In recent quarters, the Company has relied on temporary funding advanced from key 
investors. There can be no assurance that this source of funding will continue to be available on acceptable terms, and 
additional capital may not be available on satisfactory terms, or at all. Management is pursuing other financing alternatives 
to fund the Company’s operations so it can continue as a going-concern. 

The Company intends to continue to explore opportunities to enter into supply agreements, joint venture relationships, 
and other special purpose vehicles with third parties from time to time in order to continue to commercialize its patent 
pending  technology  and  other  intellectual  property.  Such  arrangements  may  include  the  issuance  of  equity  or  debt 
securities of the Company, subject to compliance with the applicable requirements of the Canadian securities regulatory 
authorities and the TSX-V. 

Any  additional  equity  financing  may  result  in  the  dilution  of  shareholders,  and  debt  financing,  if  available,  may  include 
restrictive  covenants.  MedMira’s  future  liquidity  and  capital  funding  requirements  will  depend  on  numerous  factors 
including: 

− 

− 

− 

the  extent  to  which  new  products  and  products  under  development  are  successfully  developed,  gain  market 
acceptance and become and remain competitive; 

the costs and timing of further expansion of sales, marketing and manufacturing activities and facility needs; 

the timing and results of clinical studies and regulatory actions regarding potential products; and 

18 

 
 
 
 
 
− 

the  costs  and  timing  associated  with  business  development  activities,  including  potential  licensing  of  technologies 
patented by others. 

Continued operations will be contingent on generating sufficient revenues or raising additional capital or debt financing. 
There is no assurance that these initiatives will be successful. 

Fluctuations in revenue 

The Company’s quarterly and annual revenues may fluctuate due to several factors, including seasonal variations in demand, 
competitive pressure on average selling prices, customer order patterns, the rate of acceptance of the Company’s products, 
product delays or production inefficiencies, regulatory uncertainties or delays, costs and timing associated with business 
development activities, including potential licensing of technologies, international market conditions and variations in the 
timing and volume of distributor purchases. The healthcare industry traditionally is not impacted by seasonal demand. The 
impact of one or a combination of several of these factors could have a significant adverse effect on the operations of the 
Company. In addition, changes in existing collaborative relationships, as well as the establishment of new relationships, 
product licensing and other financing relationships, could materially impact the Company’s financial position and results 
from operations. 

Effects of inflation and foreign currency fluctuations 

A significant portion of the Company’s revenue and expenses are in U.S. dollars, and therefore subject to fluctuations in 
exchange rates. There is a risk that significant fluctuations in exchange rates may impact the Company’s ability to sell its 
products and, thereby, have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations. 

Possible volatility of share price 

The stock market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that may be unrelated to the 
operating performance of the Company. In addition, the market price of the Company’s common shares, like the share 
prices of many publicly traded biotechnology companies, has been highly volatile. Announcement of technology innovations 
or new commercial products by the Company or its competitors, developments or disputes concerning patent or proprietary 
rights, publicity regarding actual or potential medical results relating to products under development by the Company or 
its competitors, regulatory developments in both the United States and foreign countries, public concern as to the safety 
of biotechnology products and economic and other external factors, as well as period to period fluctuations in financial 
results may have a significant impact on the market price of the Company’s common shares. It is likely that in some future 
quarter the Company’s operating results will be below the expectations of the public market analysts and investors. In such 
event, the price of the Company’s common shares would likely be materially adversely affected. 

Risks and uncertainties related to the Company’s business and operations 

Lack of market acceptance 

MedMira’s ability to market its diagnostic products will, in part, depend on its or its partners’ ability to convince users that 
these products represent viable and efficacious diagnostic tests. There can be no assurance that MedMira will be successful 
in this regard. 

Competition 

The in vitro diagnostics market in which the Company participates is highly complex and competitive. It is comprised of both 
large healthcare companies that have substantially greater financial, scientific, and other resources than MedMira and a 
variety of international companies producing diagnostic products of varying quality. In the developed regions of the world 
with strong healthcare infrastructures, the in vitro diagnostics market for serious and emerging infectious diseases has been 
focused  on  diagnostic  tests  using  instrument  based  platforms  designed  for  clinical  laboratories.  Diagnostic  products 
designed for use in non-laboratory settings at the point-of-care or for use in laboratories or public health clinics using non-
19 

 
 
 
 
 
instrument based platforms for the screening and diagnosis of infectious diseases are becoming more mainstream in both 
the developed and developing regions of the world. Competition in this sector of the market is intense and is expected to 
increase.  Many  of  the  companies  have  substantially  greater  resources  available  for  development,  marketing  and 
distribution of these products than does MedMira. 

Significant development effort required 

Products currently under development by MedMira require additional development, testing and investment prior to any 
final  commercialization.  There  can  be  no  assurance  that  these  products  or  any  future  products  will  be  successfully 
developed,  prove  to  be  safe  and  effective  in  clinical  trials,  receive  applicable  regulatory  approvals,  be  capable  of  being 
produced in commercial quantities at reasonable costs or be successfully marketed. The long-term success of MedMira 
must  be  considered  in  light  of  the  expenses,  difficulties  and  delays  frequently  encountered  in  connection  with  the 
development of new technology and the competitive and highly regulated environment in which MedMira operates. 

Uncertainties in sales cycles in target markets 

MedMira  markets  and  distributes  its  products  to  both  developed  and  developing  regions  of  the  world.  Sales  cycles  in 
developed  regions  of  the  world  are  somewhat  conventional,  however,  timing  of  registrations  and  other  activities 
surrounding  the  sale  of  product  into  a  specific  market  are  unpredictable  and  highly  dependent  on  third  party  and 
government organizations to complete certain processes before a sales transaction can take place. In developing regions of 
the world where MedMira and its strategic partners are working to close deals, the sales cycle timing is highly uncertain 
given  a  number  of  factors  including  political  and  economic  turmoil,  as  well  as  bureaucratic  processes  necessary  to  do 
business in these regions. 

High degree of regulation 

MedMira operates in a highly regulated industry and is subject to the authority and approvals of certain regulatory agencies, 
including Health Canada, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) in 
China, the Notified Body in the European Union and applicable health authorities in other countries, with regard to the 
development, testing, manufacture, marketing and sale of its products. The process of obtaining such approvals can be 
costly and time consuming, and there can be no assurance that regulatory approvals will be obtained or maintained. Any 
failure to obtain (or significant delay in obtaining) or maintain Health Canada, FDA, Notified Body or SFDA approvals (or, to 
a lesser extent, approval of applicable health authorities in other countries) for MedMira’s new or existing products could 
materially  adversely  affect  MedMira’s  ability  to  market  its  products  successfully  and  could  therefore  have  a  material 
adverse effect on the business of MedMira. 

Ability to retain and attract key management and other experienced personnel 

Since its inception, the Company has been, and continues to be, dependant in its ability to attract and maintain key scientific 
and commercial personnel upon whom the Company relies for its product innovations and commercialization programs. 
Loss of key personnel individually or as a group could have significant adverse impact on the Company’s immediate and 
future achievement of operating results. 

Limited sales and marketing resources and reliance on key distributors to market and sell the Company’s product 

Any revenues received by the Company will be dependent on the efforts of third parties and there can be no assurance that 
such efforts will be successful. Failure to establish sustainable and successful sales and marketing programs with effective 
distributor support programs may have a material adverse effect on the Company. 

Commercialization of the Company’s products is expensive and time consuming. In the United States, a relationship has 
been established with My Care Solution to support the logistics and distribution of the Company’s products.  The Company 

20 

 
 
 
 
 
will  rely  on  the  joint  efforts  of  My  Care  Solution  and  distributors  Cardinal  Health,  a  Fortune  100  company,  and  VWR 
International to distribute MedMira’s Reveal™ G3 Rapid HIV-1 Antibody Test product line. 

Outside  the  United  States,  the  Company  pursues  collaborative  arrangements  with  established  pharmaceutical  and 
distribution companies for marketing, distribution, and sale of its products. 

In China, MedMira has formed a strategic partnership with Triplex to market and distribute the Company’s rapid HIV test 
within  the  assigned  territory.  This  strategic  partnership  also  encompasses  the  assembly  and  packaging  of  final  product 
components.  

In Africa, MedMira works with a number of strategic partners covering various regions and sectors of Sub-Saharan Africa, 
North Africa, and the Middle East.  

If  any  of  the  Company’s  distribution  agreements  are  terminated  and  the  Company  is  unable  to  enter  into  alternative 
agreements, or if the Company elects to distribute  new products directly, additional investment in sales and marketing 
resources would be required which would increase future selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company has 
limited experience in direct sales, marketing and distribution of its products. A failure of the Company to successfully market 
its products would have a material and adverse effect on the Company. 

Manufacturing capabilities and scale-up 

The Company must manufacture its products in compliance with regulatory requirements, in sufficient quantities and on a 
timely  basis,  while  maintaining  product  quality  and  acceptable  manufacturing  costs.  If  it  is  unable  to  manufacture  or 
contract  for  such  capabilities  on  acceptable  terms  for  its  products  under  development,  MedMira’s  plans  for 
commercialization could be materially adversely affected. 

MedMira’s manufacturing facilities are, or will be, subject to periodic regulatory inspections by the FDA, Notified Body, 
SFDA and other regulatory agencies and these facilities are subject to Quality System Regulations requirements of the FDA 
and other standards organizations. MedMira may not satisfy such regulatory or standards requirements, and any failure to 
do so would have a material adverse effect on the Company. 

In addition, production and scale-up of manufacturing for new products may require the development and implementation 
of new manufacturing technologies and expertise. Manufacturing and quality control problems may arise as the Company 
attempt  to  scale-up  manufacturing  and  such  scale-up  may  not  be  achieved  in  a  timely  manner  or  at  commercially 
reasonable cost, or at all. 

Rapidly changing technology 

The in vitro diagnostic testing field as a whole is characterized by rapidly advancing technology that could render MedMira’s 
products obsolete at any time and thereby adversely affect the financial condition and future prospects of the Company. 

Uncertainties regarding healthcare reimbursement and reform 

The future revenues and profitability of diagnostic companies as well as the availability of capital may be affected by the 
continuing efforts of government and third party payers to contain or reduce costs of healthcare through various means. 
For example, in certain foreign markets, pricing or profitability is subject to government control. In the US, there has been, 
and the Company expects that there will continue to be, a number of federal and state proposals to implement similar 
government  controls.  While  the  Company  cannot  predict  whether  any  such  legislative  or  regulatory  proposals  will  be 
adopted, the announcement or adoption of such proposals could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results 
of operations. 

21 

 
 
 
 
 
Product liability 

MedMira may be subject to claims of personal injury and could become liable to clinical laboratories, hospitals and patients 
for injuries resulting from the use of its products. MedMira could suffer financial loss due to defects in its products and such 
financial loss together with litigation expenses could have a material adverse effect on its operations. MedMira has obtained 
product liability insurance to protect against possible losses of this nature. However, no assurance can be given that such 
insurance will be adequate to cover all claims or that MedMira will be able to maintain such insurance at a reasonable cost. 

Risks and uncertainties related to the Company’s intellectual property 

No assurance of patent protection 

MedMira has filed patent applications in the US, Canada, China, and other foreign countries relating to various aspects of 
its  rapid  diagnostic  platform,  processes,  reagents,  and  equipment.  Although  MedMira’s  management  believes  that  the 
patents  for  which  the  Company  applied  may  be  issued,  there  can  be  no  such  assurance,  nor  can  MedMira  assure  that 
competitors will not develop functionally similar or superior diagnostic testing devices. Moreover, there is a question as to 
the extent to which biotechnology discoveries and related products and processes can effectively be protected by patents. 
The law regarding the breadth or scope of biotechnology patents is new and evolving. No assurance can be given that, if a 
patent issued to MedMira is challenged, it will be held valid and enforceable or will be found to have a scope sufficiently 
broad to cover competitors’ products or processes. The cost of enforcing MedMira’s patent right, if any, in lawsuits that it 
may bring against infringers may be significant and could limit MedMira’s operations. 

Possible patent infringement 

The extent to which biotechnology discoveries and related products and processes can be effectively protected by patents 
and be enforceable is uncertain and subject to interpretation by the courts. The technologies, products, and processes of 
MedMira may be subject to claims of infringement on the patents of others and, if such claims are successful, could result 
in the requirement to access such technology by license agreement. There can be no assurance that such licenses would be 
available on commercially acceptable terms. If MedMira is required to acquire rights to valid and enforceable patents but 
cannot do so at reasonable cost, MedMira’s ability to manufacture or market its products would be materially adversely 
affected. The cost of MedMira’s defence against infringement charges by other patent holders may be significant and could 
limit MedMira’s operations.

November 28, 2013 

Management’s responsibility for financial reporting 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of MedMira Inc. (MedMira or the Company) are the responsibility of 
management and have been approved by the Board of Directors. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared 
by  management  in  accordance  with  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  (IFRS).  The  consolidated  financial 
statements  includes  amounts  and  assumptions  based  on  management’s  best  estimates  which  have  been  derived  with 
careful judgement. 

In fulfilling its responsibilities, management has developed and maintains a system of internal accounting controls. These 
controls  are  designed  to  ensure  that  the  financial  records  are  reliable  for  preparation  of  the  consolidated  financial 
statements.  

The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for ensuring that management fulfils its responsibilities for financial 
reporting  and  is  ultimately  responsible  for  reviewing  and  approving  the  consolidated  financial  statements  and  the 
accompanying  management’s  discussion  and  analysis.  The  Board  of  Directors  carries  out  this  responsibility  principally 
through its Audit Committee. 

The Audit Committee is a subcommittee of the Board of Directors. It is responsible for oversight of the internal control and 
financial  matters  assisting  the  Company’s  management  and  independent  auditors  to  ensure  that  the  integrity  of  the 
financial reporting process is maintained. 

The Company’s independent auditors are appointed by the shareholders to conduct an audit in accordance with Canadian 
generally accepted auditing standards and their report follows.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the years ended July 31, 2013 and July 31, 2012 
In Canadian dollars 

1. 

 Reporting entity 

Nature of operations 

MedMira Inc. (MedMira or the Company) is a biotechnology company headquartered in Canada. The address of the 
Company’s registered office is 155 Chain Lake Drive, Suite 1, Halifax, Nova Scotia, B3S 1B3. OnSite Lab Holdings AG 
owns the majority of MedMira’s shares and is the controlling shareholder. The consolidated financial statements of the 
Company as at and for the years ended July 31, 2013 and 2012, comprise the Company and its subsidiaries. MedMira, 
through its subsidiaries, is engaged in the business of research, development and manufacturing of rapid diagnostics 
and  technologies.    The  Company  invests  in  research  in  order  to  maintain  and  expand  its  position  in  the  global 
diagnostics market.  MedMira’s research is focused on specific areas of the broader diagnostics market, namely the 
rapid, point-of-care, and in vitro sectors. These financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s subsidiaries. 

2.  Basis of preparation 

a.  Statement of compliance 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  International  Financial  Reporting 
Standards  (IFRS)  as  issued  by  the  International  Accounting  Standards  Board  (IASB)  and  interpretations  of  the  IFRS 
Interpretations Committee.  

The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on November 28, 2013. 

b.  Going-concern 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of IFRS applicable to a going-
concern,  which  contemplates  the  realization  of  assets  and  liquidation  of  liabilities  during  the  normal  course  of 
operations.  However, certain adverse conditions and events cast significant doubt upon the validity of this assumption.   

The Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations on a cumulative basis since inception.  For 
the year ended July 31, 2013, the Company realized a net loss of approximately $0.4 million (July 31, 2012 – net income 
$3.4 million), consisting of a net loss from operations of $2.2 million (July 31, 2012 – net loss $2.4 million), a gain on 
forgiveness of debt of $0.7 million (July 31, 2012 – $10.1 million), a valuation gain on renegotiation of debt of $2.0 
million (July 31, 2012 – $nil) and other non-operating losses of $1.0 (July 31, 2012 – $4.5 million). Negative cash flows 
from operations were approximately $2.1 million (July 31, 2012 – $2.2 million).  As at July 31, 2013, the Company had 
an accumulated deficit of approximately $71.0 million (July 31, 2012 – $70.6 million) and a negative working capital 
position of $4.0 million (July  31,2012  – $8.1 million).  In addition to its on-going working capital requirements, the 
Company  must  secure  sufficient  funding  for  its  research  and  development  programs  for  existing  commitments, 
including its current portion of loans of approximately $2.2 million.  These circumstances cast significant doubt as to 
the ability of the Company to meet its obligations as they come due and, accordingly, the appropriateness of the use 
of accounting principles applicable to a going-concern. 

Management is pursuing other financing alternatives to fund the Company’s operations so it can continue as a going-
concern.  Management  plans  to  secure  the  necessary  financing  through  new  equity  and  debt  arrangements. 
Nevertheless, there is no assurance that this initiative will be successful (additional details on financing subsequent to 
July 31, 2013 are provided in note 21).

MedMira Inc. 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the years ended July 31, 2013 and July 31, 2012 
In Canadian dollars 

The Company is subject to risks associated with early stage companies, including but not limited to, dependence on 
key individuals, competition from substitute services and larger companies, and the requirement for the continued 
successful  development  and  marketing  of  its  products  and  services.  The  Company’s  ability  to  continue  as  a  going-
concern is dependent upon its ability to generate positive cash flow from operations and secure additional financing. 
These financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported 
expenses  and  balance  sheet  classifications  that  would  be  necessary  were  the  going-concern  assumption  not 
appropriate. These adjustments could be material. 

c.  Basis of measurement 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis with the exception of certain 
financial instruments, which are measured in accordance with the policy described in note 3, and inventory, which is 
measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. 

d.  Functional and presentation currency 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  are  presented  in  Canadian  dollars,  which  is  the  functional  currency  of  the 
Company and its subsidiaries.  All financial information is presented in Canadian dollars unless explicitly stated. 

e.  Use of estimates and judgements 

The  preparation  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  IFRS  requires  management  to  make 
judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of 
assets,  liabilities,  income  and  expenses.    Actual  results  may  differ  from  these  estimates.  These  include  but  are  not 
limited to: 

−  Amounts  recorded  for  depreciation,  impairment  and  reversals  of  impairment  of  property,  equipment  and 
intangible assets which depend on estimates of net recoverable amounts based on expected economic lives 
and future cash flows from related assets; 

−  Amounts  recorded  for  investment  tax  credits  recoverable  which  are  calculated  based  on  the  expected 
eligibility  and  tax  treatment  of  qualifying  scientific  research  and  experimental  development  expenditures 
recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements; 

−  Contingencies that are accrued on an undiscounted basis when it is probable that a liability for past events 
exists and the liability can be reasonably estimated. In determining whether a liability exists, the Company is 
required to make judgements as to the probability of future events occurring; 

− 

− 

− 

The allocation of proceeds between common shares and warrants, determined by valuation of warrants which 
includes assumptions regarding the volatility and risk free rate; 

The  fair  value  calculation  of  promissory  notes,  convertible  debt,  and  long-term  debt,  which  includes 
assumptions of the market rate and expected cash flows; 

The fair value calculation of royalty liabilities, which includes determination of an appropriate discount rate, 
estimation of future sales, and estimation on price and cost of production;

The fair value calculation of stock-based compensation, including determination of appropriate volatility and risk free 
rate;  

− 

The  fair  value  allocation  of  consideration  for  multiple  element  revenue  arrangements,  including  timing  of 
revenue recognition and allocation of cost; and 

−  Determination of operating segments. 

Estimates  and  underlying  assumptions  are  reviewed  on  an  ongoing  basis.    Revisions  to  accounting  estimates  are 
recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. 

3.  Significant accounting policies 

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated 
financial statements and to the Company’s subsidiaries.

a.  Basis of consolidation 

Subsidiaries 

Subsidiaries  are  entities  controlled  by  the  Company.  The  financial  statements  of  subsidiaries  are  included  in  the 
consolidated  financial  statements  from  the  date  that  control  commences  until  the  date  that  control  ceases.  The 
accounting  policies  of  subsidiaries  have  been  changed  when  necessary  to  align  with  the  policies  adopted  by  the 
Company.  

Transactions eliminated on consolidation 

Intra-company  balances  and  transactions,  and  any  unrealized  income  and  expenses  arising  from  intra-company 
transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. 

b.  Foreign currency transactions 

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to Canadian dollars, the functional currency of the Company and its 
subsidiaries, at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.  Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the years ended July 31, 2013 and July 31, 2012 
In Canadian dollars 

currencies at the reporting date are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date.  The foreign 
currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between the amortized cost in the functional currency at the 
beginning of the period, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the period, and the amortized cost in the 
foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period.  

c.  Financial instruments 

Non-derivative financial assets 

The Company initially recognizes loans, receivables, and deposits on the date of origination.  All other financial assets 
are recognized initially on the trade date at which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the 
instrument. 

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it 
transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially 
all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred.  Any interest in transferred financial assets 
that is created or retained by the Company is recognized as a separate asset or liability. 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position only when the 
Company has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle 
the liability simultaneously. 

The Company classifies loans and receivables as non-derivative  financial assets. Loans and receivables are  financial 
assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market.  Such assets are recognized initially 
at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs.  Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables 
are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Loans and receivables 
comprise trade and other receivables. 

The  Company  also  classifies  cash  as  non-derivative  financial  assets.  Cash  is  comprised  of  cash  balances  and  bank 
overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Company’s cash management for the purpose 
of the statement of cash flows. Cash is classified as loans and receivables.  

Non-derivative financial liabilities 

The Company initially recognizes debt securities issued and subordinated liabilities on the date of origination.  All other 
financial liabilities are recognized initially on the trade date at which the Company becomes a party to the contractual 
provisions  of  the  instrument.  The  Company  derecognizes  a  financial  liability  when  its  contractual  obligations  are 
discharged, cancelled or expired. 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position only when the 
Company has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle 
the liability simultaneously. 

The Company has the following non-derivative financial liabilities: loans and borrowings, royalty provisions and trade 
and  other  payables.  Such  financial  liabilities  are  recognized  initially  at  fair  value  plus  any  directly  attributable 
transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the 
effective interest method.

Share capital 

Common shares 

Common shares are classified as equity.  Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares and share 
options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. 

Preferred shares 

Preferred share capital is classified as equity if it is non-redeemable, or redeemable only at the Company’s option, and 
any dividends are discretionary.  Dividends thereon are recognized as distributions within equity. 

Preferred share capital is classified as a liability if it is redeemable on a specific date or at the option of the shareholders, 
or if dividend payments are not discretionary.  Dividends thereon are recognized as interest expense in profit or loss as 
accrued. 

Stock purchase warrants 

The fair value of these warrants is determined at the time the services are received by the Company and the expense 
is recognized in the statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The fair value of the warrants is the fair 
value of the services received where this can be estimated reliably by comparable services by independent parties. In 
such circumstances where the fair value of the services received cannot be estimated reliably, the fair value is measured 
indirectly by reference to the fair value of the equity instrument granted, measured at the date the entity receives the 
relevant services. All such warrants are classified in a warrant reserve within equity. 

Compound financial instruments 

Compound financial instruments issued by the Company comprise convertible debentures that can be converted to 
share capital at the option of the holder, and the number of shares to be issued does not vary with changes in their fair 
value.  

The liability component of a compound financial instrument is recognized initially at the fair value of a similar liability 
that does not have an equity conversion option.  The equity component is recognized initially at the difference between 
the  fair  value  of  the  compound  financial  instrument  as  a whole  and  the  fair  value  of  the  liability  component.   Any 
directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial 
carrying amounts. 

Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortized 
cost using the effective interest method.  The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not remeasured 
subsequent to initial recognition. 

Interest, dividends, losses and gains relating to the financial liability are recognized in profit or loss.  Distributions to 
the equity holders are recognized in equity, net of any tax benefit. 

d.  Property, plant and equipment 

Recognition and measurement 

Items  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  are  measured  at  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  and  accumulated 
impairment losses. Cost includes any expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.  Gains and 
losses on the disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from 
33

In Canadian dollars 

disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, and are recognized net within other income in 
profit or loss.  

Subsequent costs 

The cost of replacing a part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the 
item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Company, and its cost 
can  be  measured  reliably.    The  carrying  amount of  the  replaced  part  is  derecognized.    The  costs  of  the  day-to-day 
servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. 

Depreciation 

Depreciation is calculated over the depreciable amount, which is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for 
cost, less its residual value.  

Depreciation is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component 
of property, plant and equipment, since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future 
economic benefits embodied in the asset.  Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their 
useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term.  

The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows: 

− 

− 

− 

− 

office equipment and furniture  

5 years 

leasehold improvements 

lower of 7 years and length of lease 

manufacturing equipment 

laboratory equipment  

5 years 

5 years 

Depreciation  methods,  useful  lives,  and  residual  values  are  reviewed  at  each  financial  year  end  and  adjusted  if 
appropriate.  

e. 

Intangible assets 

Research and development 

Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and 
understanding, is recognized in profit or loss as incurred. 

Development  activities  involve  a  plan  or  design  for  the  production  of  new  or  substantially  improved  products  and 
processes.  A development expenditure is capitalized only if development costs can be measured reliably, the product 
or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Company intends 
to, and has sufficient resources to, complete development and to use or sell the asset.  The expenditure capitalized 
includes the cost of materials, direct labour, overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its 
intended use, and borrowing costs on qualifying assets for which the commencement date for capitalization is on or 
after August 1, 2010.  Any other development expenditure is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.  

A  capitalized  development  expenditure  is  measured  at  cost  less  accumulated  amortization  and  accumulated 
impairment losses. 

Other intangible assets

MedMira Inc. 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the years ended July 31, 2013 and July 31, 2012 
In Canadian dollars 

Other  intangible  assets  that  are  acquired  by  the  Company  and  have  finite  useful  lives  are  measured  at  cost  less 
accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. 

Subsequent expenditure 

A subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific 
asset to which it relates.  Any other expenditure, including an expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, 
is recognized in profit or loss as incurred. 

Amortization 

Amortization is calculated over the cost of the asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value. 

Amortization is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets 
from the date that they are available for use, since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of 
the future economic benefits embodied in the asset.  The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods 
are as follows: 

Patents and trademarks 

10 – 20 years 

f. 

Leased assets 

Leases with terms in which the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as 
finance leases.  Upon initial recognition, the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value 
and the present value of the future minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted 
for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset.  

Other leases are operating leases and the leased assets are not recognized in the Company’s statement of financial 
position.   

g. 

Inventories 

Raw materials inventory consists of chemicals, plastic components and packaging materials. Work in process inventory 
(WIP) includes partially assembled tests, and any materials that have been modified, but not yet converted to finished 
products. Finished product inventory includes completed diagnostics tests in a state ready for sale. The Company does 
not carry inventory that would be considered long-term. 

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value.  Net realizable value is the estimated selling 
price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.  

During the year ended 2013, the Company transitioned from using the first-in first-out principle for inventory costing 
to using the weighted average costing method. The use of average costing immediately factors in changes in material 
cost  into  the  cost  of  goods  sold,  providing  more  relevant  costing  information  to  management.  The  amount  of  the 
adjustment did not have a material impact on the financial statements for the years ended July 31, 2012 and July 31, 
2013. 

Inventory cost includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other 
costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition.  In the case of manufactured inventories and 
work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overhead based on normal operating capacity.

Impairment

In Canadian dollars 

Financial assets (including receivables) 

Financial assets, other than those at fair value through profit and loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the 
end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as 
a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future 
cash flows of the investment have been affected.  

Long-lived assets 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s long-lived assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether 
there is any indication of impairment.  If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.   

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit (CGU) is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less 
costs to sell.  In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a 
pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the 
asset.  For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the 
smallest  group  of  assets  that  generates  cash  inflows  from  continuing  use  that  are  largely  independent  of  the  cash 
inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the CGU).  

An  impairment  loss  is  recognized  if  the  carrying  amount  of  an  asset  or  its  CGU  exceeds  its  estimated  recoverable 
amount.  Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss.   

Impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has 
decreased or no longer exists.  An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to 
determine the recoverable amount.  An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount 
does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no 
impairment loss had been recognized. 

i. 

Employee benefits 

Short-term employee benefits 

Short-term employee benefit obligations such as vacation and healthcare benefits are measured on an undiscounted 
basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. 

A  liability  is  recognized  for  the  amount  expected  to  be  paid  under  short-term  cash  bonus  or  profit-sharing  plans  if  the 
Company  has  a  present  legal  or  constructive  obligation  to  pay  this  amount  as  a  result  of  past  service  provided  by  the 
employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably. 

Share-based payment transactions 

The grant date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognized as an employee expense, with 
a corresponding  increase in  equity, over  the period that  the employees unconditionally become entitled to the awards.  
Under the Company’s current option plan, options vest at the date of issuance; therefore, the full value of options is recorded 
as an increase in equity at the date of issuance. 

j. 

Provisions 

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that 
can  be  estimated  reliably,  and  it  is  probable  that  an  outflow  of  economic  benefits  will  be  required  to  settle  the

In Canadian dollars 

obligation.  Provisions  are  determined  by  discounting  the  expected  future  cash  flows  at  a  pre-tax  rate  that  reflects 
current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.  The unwinding of the 
discount is recognized as finance cost. 

         Onerous contracts 

A provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Company from a contract 
are  lower than the unavoidable  cost of meeting its  obligations under the contract.   The  provision is measured at the 
present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the 
contract. Before a provision is established, the Company recognizes any impairment loss on the assets associated with that 
contract.  

k.  Revenue 

Goods sold 

Revenue from the sale of goods in the course of ordinary activities is measured at the fair value of the consideration 
received or receivable, net of returns, trade discounts and volume rebates.  Down payments are recognized as deferred 
revenue until such time as the revenue associated  with the sales order meets the  criteria for revenue recognition. 
Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence exists, usually in the form of an executed sales agreement, that the 
significant  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership  have  been  transferred  to  the  buyer,  recovery  of  the  consideration  is 
probable,  the  associated  costs  and  possible  return  of  goods  can  be  estimated  reliably,  there  is  no  continuing 
management involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.  If it is probable that 
discounts will be granted and the amount can be measured reliably, then the discount is recognized as a reduction of 
revenue as the sales are recognized. 

The timing of the transfers of risks and rewards varies depending on the individual terms of the contract of sale.  For 
sales  of  rapid  diagnostics,  transfer  typically  occurs  when  the  product  is  shipped  from  the  Company’s  warehouse; 
however, for some international shipments, transfer may occur when goods are received.  

When two or more revenue generating activities or deliverables are sold under a single arrangement, each deliverable 
that is considered to be a separate unit of account is accounted for separately.  The allocation of consideration from a 
revenue arrangement to its separate units of account is based on the relative fair values of each unit.  If the fair value 
of the delivered item is not reliably measurable, then revenue is allocated based on the difference between the total 
arrangement consideration and the fair value of the undelivered item. 

Services 

The Company’s service revenue consists primarily of research and development contracts with the US Military. Revenue 
from services rendered is recognized in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at the 
reporting date.  The stage of completion is assessed by reference to surveys of work performed. 

Royalties and licence fees 

Revenue from royalties and licences is recognized when the terms of the royalty or licence agreement are met, payment 
is reasonably assured, and payment can be reliably measured. Licences subject to attaining milestones are recognized 
as milestones are reached. Non-refundable up-front license fees are recognized when no uncertainty about collection 
exists. It is recognized on a basis that reflects the timing, nature and value of the benefits provided.

In Canadian dollars 

Deferred revenue 

All  deferred  revenue  is  classified  as  current  and  consists  of  customer  advances  for  product  that  has  not  yet  been 
shipped or the conditions required to account for payments as revenue have not yet been met. 

l.  Government grants 

Government grants are recognized initially as deferred revenue at fair value when there is reasonable assurance that 
they  will  be  received  and  the  Company  will  comply  with  the  conditions  associated  with  the  grant.    Grants  that 
compensate  the  Company  for  expenses  incurred  are  recognized  in  profit  or  loss  as  a  reduction  in  expense  on  a 
systematic basis in the same periods in which the expenses are recognized.   

The  Company  also  receives  government  loans  with  below  market  interest  rates.  These  loans  are  classified  as 
government grants. The benefit from the grant is determined based on the difference between the amount received 
and the fair value of the loan and is recognized in profit or loss as a reduction in expense on a systematic basis in the 
same periods in which the expenses are recognized. 

m.  Lease payments 

Payments made under operating leases are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the 
lease.  Lease incentives received are recognized as a part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease. 

n.  Finance income and finance costs 

Finance  costs  comprise  interest  expense  on  borrowings.    Borrowing  costs  that  are  not  directly  attributable  to  the 
acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest 
method. 

o.  Deferred income taxes 

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, current income taxes are 
recognized  for  the  future  income  tax  consequences  attributable  to  differences  between  the  financial  statement 
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are 
measured using the substantively enacted tax rates that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse 
or when losses are expected to be utilized. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax 
rates is recognized in operations in the year in which the change occurs.  

p.  Earnings and loss per share 

Basic  earnings/loss  per  share  (EPS)  amounts  are  calculated  by  dividing  net  profit/loss  for  the  year  attributable  to 
common equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. 

Diluted  EPS  is  determined  by  adjusting  the  net  profit/loss  attributable  to  common  shareholders  and  the  weighted 
average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is equal to the basic EPS in periods of a net loss as the 
exercise of options and warrants would be anti-dilutive. During profitable periods, net income is adjusted by adding 
back the after-tax effect of any interest expense on dilutive convertible debentures, weighted average common shares 
outstanding  is  adjusted  to  include  the  effects  of  the  additional  shares  that  would  be  issued  upon  conversion  of 
debentures, as well as the addition of shares that would be issued on exercise options or warrants.  

q.  Fair value of stock options and warrants

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the years ended July 31, 2013 and July 31, 2012 
In Canadian dollars 

The  Company  makes  certain  estimates  and  assumptions  when  calculating the fair  values  of stock  options  and  warrants 
granted. The Company uses an option pricing model, which includes significant assumptions including estimate of expected 
volatility, expected life, expected dividend rate and expected risk-free rate of return. Changes in these assumptions may 
result in a material change to the expense recorded for the issuance of stock options and warrants. 

r. 

Investment tax credits 

The Company is eligible for investment tax credits on qualifying expenditures under the Federal Scientific Research and 
Experimental Development (“SR&ED) Tax Credit. The SR&ED refundable tax credits are recognized as receivables based 
on the provision for the tax credit in the year. The SR&ED refundable tax credits are treated as other income. 

s.  New standards and interpretations not yet adopted 

A number of new standards, and amendments to standards and interpretations, were not yet effective for the year 
ended July 31, 2013, and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements.  None of these 
new standards or amendments is expected to have a significant effect on the financial results of the Company. 

Accounting standards issued but not yet applied: 

IFRS  9,  “Financial  Instruments”:  IFRS  9  requires  all  recognized  financial  assets  that  are  within  the  scope  of  IAS  39 
Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement to be subsequently measured at amortized cost or fair value. The 
IASB has issued an amendment to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”), which changes the effective date of IFRS 9 
(2009) and IFRS 9 (2011), so that IFRS 9 is required to be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 
2015, with early application permitted. This amendment was released in connection with IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: 
Disclosures – Transition Disclosures (“IFRS 7”) which outlines that, with the amendments to IFRS 9, entities applying 
IFRS 9 do not need to restate prior periods but are required to apply modified disclosures. The Company continues to 
asses the impact of IFRS 9 on its consolidated financial statements. 

IFRS 10, “Consolidated Financial Statements”: The IASB issued IFRS 10, “Consolidated Financial Statements”, effective 
for  annual  periods  beginning  on  or  after  January  1,  2013.  IFRS  10  replaces  portions  of  IAS  27,  “Consolidated  and 
Separate  Financial  Statements”,  that  addresses  consolidation,  and  supersedes  Standing  Interpretations  Committee 
(SIC)  SIC-12  in  its  entirety.  The  objective  of  IFRS  10  is  to  define  the  principles  of  control  and  establish  the  basis  of 
determining when and how an entity should be included within a set of consolidated financial statements. IAS 27 has 
been  amended  to  reflect  the  issuance  of  IFRS  10  and  retains  guidance  only  for  separate  financial  statements.  The 
Company continues to asses the impact of IFRS 10 on its consolidated financial statements. 

IFRS 11, “Joint Arrangements”, effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 with early adoption 
permitted, requires a venturer to classify its interest in a joint arrangement as a joint venture or joint operation. Joint 
ventures will be accounted for using the equity method of accounting whereas for a joint operation the venturer will 
recognize its share of the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of the joint operation. Under existing IFRS, entities 
have the choice to proportionately consolidate or equity account for interests in joint ventures. IFRS 11 supersedes IAS 
31,  Interest  in  Joint  Ventures  and  SIC-13,  Jointly  Controlled  Entities  -  Non-monetary  Contributions  by  Venturers. 
Management anticipates that this standard will be adopted in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the 
period beginning August 1, 2013. The Company continues to assess the impact of IFRS 11 on the consolidated financials 
statements of the Company.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the years ended July 31, 2013 and July 31, 2012 
In Canadian dollars 

IFRS 12, “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities”: The IASB issued IFRS 12, “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities”, 
effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. IFRS 12 requires extensive disclosures relating to a 
company’s  interests  in  subsidiaries,  joint  arrangements,  associates,  and  unconsolidated  structured  entities.  IFRS  12 
enables users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and risks associated with its interests in other entities 
and  the  effects  of  those  interests  on  its  financial  position  and  performance.  The  Company  continues  to  assess  the 
impact of IFRS 12 on the consolidated financials statements of the Company. 

IFRS  13,  “Fair  Value  Measurement”,  effective  for  annual  periods  beginning  on  or  after  January  1,  2013  with  early 
adoption  permitted,  defines  fair  value,  set  out  in  a  single  IFRS  framework  for  measuring  fair  value  and  requires 
disclosures about fair value measurements. IFRS 13 does not determine when an asset, a liability or an entity’s own 
equity instrument is measured at fair value. Rather the measurement and disclosure requirements of IFRS 13 apply 
when  another  IFRS  requires  or  permits  the  item  to  be  measured  at  fair  value.  Management  anticipates  that  this 
standard will be adopted in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the period beginning August 1, 2013. 
The  Company  does  not  expect  that  the  new  standard  will  have  a  material  impact  on  the  Company’s  financial 
statements. 

Amendments to standards 

IAS 19, “Employee Benefits”, has been amended effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The 
revised  standard  requires  immediate  recognition  of  actuarial  gains  and  losses  in  other  comprehensive  income, 
eliminating the previous options that were available. A number of other amendments have been made to recognition, 
measurement and classification. Currently, this standard has no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the 
Company. 

IAS 1, “Presentation of Financial Statements”, has been amended effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 
1, 2012. The revised standard requires an entity to group items presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income 
on  the  basis  of  whether  they  may  be  reclassified  to  earnings  subsequent  to  initial  recognition.  For  those  items 
presented before taxes, the amendments to IAS 1 also require that the taxes related to the two separate groups be 
presented separately. Currently, this standard has no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Short term loans 

The Company has a number of short terms loans with related and non-related parties. These loans are utilised by the 
Company for short term working capital requirements. Loans are payable on demand with interest rates ranging from 
3% to 15%. The loans were not in default at July 31, 2013. 

Loan 1 

In the prior year, the $650,000 related to a convertible debenture with a coupon interest rate of 9% per annum, payable 
monthly,  maturing  four  years  from  the  date  of  close.  The  principal  was  repayable  in  full  on  August  28,  2012.  The 
debenture was convertible in whole or in part into common shares at $0.1815. As at July 31, 2012, the debenture was 
in default and was classified as a current liability. The loan was renegotiated October 31, 2012, bearing 3% interest with 
monthly  interest  only  payments  until  November  30,  2013,  followed  by  equal  monthly  principal  payments  for  five 
additional years ending November 30, 2018. The loan interest will be set to 5% in the event the Company secures at 
least $1.5 million in additional equity financing. The loan is secured by interest on intellectual property and on the step-
up technology. The loan was not in default at July 31, 2013. 

Loan 2 

Loan established July 31, 2012, bearing 3% interest with monthly interest only payments until July 31, 2013, followed 
by equal monthly principal payments for five additional years ending July 31, 2018. The loan interest will be set to 5% 
in the event the Company secures at least $1.5 million in additional equity financing. The loan was not in default at July 
31, 2013. 

Loan 3 

During the year ended July 31, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to settle the loan with a single payment 
of $156,790, resulting in the forgiveness of $33,621 of principal and accrued interest. 

Loan 4 

Loan established July 31, 2012, bearing 3% interest with monthly monthly principal payments of $1,000, in addition to 
accrued monthly interest ending September 30, 2016. The loan interest will be set to 5% in the event the Company 
secures at least $1.5 million in additional equity financing. The loan was not in default at July 31, 2013. 

Loan 5 

Loan established August 24, 2011, bearing no interest payable in equal monthly payments of US$5,000. The loan was 
not in default at July 31, 2013. 

Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA) loan(s) 

In the prior year, the ACOA loans consisted of four separate loans bearing no interest with varying payment terms. As 
at July 31, 2012, the loans were in default and classified as current liabilities. The loans were renegotiated October 30, 
2012,  bearing no interest with monthly principal payments of $3,747 until July 31, 2013, followed by equal monthly 
principal payments of $24,234 for five additional years ending July 31, 2018. The loan is secured by all present and after 
acquired personal property, excepting consumer goods. The loan was not in default at July 31, 2013.

Nova Scotia government loan 1 

In the prior year this consisted of a loan payable to the Nova Scotia Government Department of Economic and Rural 
Development and Tourism with interest bearing at the Province’s five year cost of funds plus 2%. The loan was payable 
in 54 monthly instalments beginning June 1, 2010. As at July 31, 2012, the loan was in default and classified as a current 
liability. The loan was renegotiated September 14, 2012, bearing 3% interest with monthly interest only payments until 
July 31, 2013, followed by equal monthly principal payments for five additional years ending July 31, 2018. The loan is 
secured by first interest on intellectual property and on the Maple Bio sensor technology. The loan was not in default 
at July 31, 2013. 

Nova Scotia government loan 2 

Loan established September 14, 2012, bearing no interest with the balance due by August 31, 2018. The loan is secured 
by first interest on intellectual property and on the Maple Bio sensor technology. The loan was not in default at July 
31, 2013. 

b.  Renegotiation of debt 

During  the  year  ended  July  31,  2013,  management  renegotiated  some  of  the  outstanding  loans  which  resulted  in 
substantially different terms from the original agreements. These were treated as an extinguishment of the original 
liability and the recognition of a new liability. These debt arrangements were valued using a rate of approximately 
11.8%, representing a reasonable exit price for the liabilities. This resulted in a gain on renegotiated debt of $2,027,442. 

c.  Significant refinancing 

During the year ended July 31, 2012, the Company negotiated the forgiveness and settlement of debt resulting in the 
payment of $1,806,481 to settle $11,849,307 in principal and accrued interest. The difference between  the  settled 
amount and the payment, $10,042,826, was booked as a gain on forgiveness of debt in the statement of operations 
and comprehensive income and includes a gain on forgiveness of principal of $8,114,161 and gain on forgiveness of 
accrued interest of $1,928,665. 

11.  Financial instruments 

a.  Capital management 

The  Company’s  objectives  when  managing  capital  are  to  provide  an  adequate  return  to  shareholders,  safeguard  its 
assets, maintain a competitive cost structure and continue as a going-concern in order to pursue the development and 
sale of its products. To maximize ongoing development and growth effort, the Company did not pay out dividends during 
the year ended July 31, 2013 (July 31, 2012 – $nil). The Company is not anticipating paying out dividends during the year 
ended July 31, 2014.

c.  Foreign currency risk

monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of the reporting period are shown in the table below.

A one cent change in the US dollar exchange rate would result in approximately a $1,000 (2012 – $7,000) impact on 
the balance sheet and consolidated statement of income. The Company’s foreign exchange exposure to the US dollar 
has decreased in the year ended July 31, 2013 due mainly to the settlement of US dollar denominated loans. 

d. 

Interest rate risk 

The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk as it borrows funds at fixed rates. 

e.  Credit risk 

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to 
the  Company.  The  Company  mitigates  this  risk  by  requiring  a  50%  down  payment  on  most  orders  at  the  time  of 
purchase, and the remaining 50% prior to shipment. The receivables balance of $320,253 consists of trade receivables 
from sale of the Company’s products and receivables on research initiatives. Historically, there have been few collection 
issues and the Company does not believe it is subject to any significant concentration of credit risk. 

f. 

Liquidity risk 

Liquidity risk represents the possibility that the Company may not be able to gather sufficient cash resources, when 
required and under reasonable conditions, to meet its financial obligations. As at July 31, 2013, the Company does not 
have sufficient cash to meet all of its continual liabilities. 

The  Company  also  continues  to  have  an  ongoing  need  for  substantial  capital  resources  to  research  and  develop, 
commercialize and manufacture its products and technologies. The Company is not yet receiving a significant ongoing 
revenue stream, nor can it be certain that it will receive significant revenue before additional cash is required. As a 
result, there can be no assurance that the Company will have sufficient capital to fund its ongoing operations, develop 
or commercialize its products without future financing.

g.  Fair value of financial instruments 

Management has determined that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recognized in the 
consolidated financial statements approximate fair value. 

12.  Fair value measurement of royalty liability 

The Company adjusted a royalty contract with a significant shareholder from $494,359 to fair value of $739,817 during 
the year ended July 31, 2013 based on the five year projected cash flow on future sales. The royalty liability represents 
the discounted amount likely to be paid based on future sales. Management used an effective annual discount rate of 
12.7%  which  it  believes  fairly  represents  the  market  rate  for  the  time  value  of  money  and  the  risks  specific  to  the 
liability.  During  the  year  ended  July  31,  2013,  $92,916  in  accretion  was  recorded  on  this  liability  (July  31,  2012  – 
$75,422).  

The calculation of fair value was based on management estimates that include: the likelihood and timing of completion 
of the research and development of the product, the likelihood of obtaining regulatory approval, the demand for the 
product  at  the  time  of  completion,  the  price  the  Company  will  be  able  to  sell  the  product  for,  and  the  cost  of 
manufacturing the product. The royalty liability is monitored and adjusted based on expected future sales.

21.  Subsequent events 

In September 2013, the Company completed a $6.105 million equity investment from OnSite Lab Holding AG (OnSite Lab). 
Under the terms of the deal, Onsite Lab acquired 122,100,000 equity units at $0.05 per unit. Each equity unit consists of 
one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each full warrant entitles Onsite Lab to purchase one 
common share of MedMira at $0.10 per share for a four year period. The common shares and the warrants are subject to 
a four month hold period that expires four months from the day of share issuance. With the completion of this 
transaction, Onsite Lab now owns 68.5% of the undiluted common shares in Medmira.  Certain loans will now carry 
interest at 5% due to covenants regarding equity funding (see note 10).
