Forward-Looking Statements This Form 20-F and the documents to which we refer you contain forward-looking statements. In addition, from time to time, we or our representatives may make forward-looking statements orally or in writing. We base these forward-looking statements on our expectations and projections about future events, which we derive from the information currently available to us. Such forward-looking statements relate to future events or our future performance. You can identify forward-looking statements by those that are not historical in nature, particularly those that use terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “contemplates,” “estimates,” “believes,” “plans,” “projected,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these or similar terms. In evaluating these forward-looking statements, you should consider various factors, including those described in “Risk Factors” below. These and other factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement. Forward-looking statements are only predictions. The forward-looking events discussed in this Form 20-F, the documents to which we refer you and other statements made from time to time by us or our representatives, may not occur, and actual events and results may differ materially and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us. Risk Factors An investment in the Common Shares of the Company must be considered highly speculative due to the nature of the Company’s business. The risk and uncertainties below are not the only risks and uncertainties the Company may have. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that the Company currently considers immaterial may also impair the business, operations and future prospects of the Company and cause the price of the Common Shares to decline. If any of the following risks actually occur, the business of the Company may be harmed and its financial condition and results of operations may suffer significantly. In addition to the risks described elsewhere and the other information in this Form 20-F, the Company notes the following risk factors: Issuer Risk - Risks that are specific to the Company Insufficient Funds to Accomplish the Company's Business Objectives The Company remains under constant working capital pressures. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had a working capital deficit of $609,411. In the near future, potential revenues cannot support existing and upcoming expenses or other capital requirements. When the current funding has been expended, the Company will require and is planning for additional funding. There is no assurance that this funding will be available when required by the Company and/or available on suitable terms. Furthermore, the Company expects negative operating cash flows for the immediately foreseeable future. Substantial Capital Requirements for Research and Development The Company anticipates that it may make substantial research and development expenditures for clinical trials in the future. As the Company has no operating revenue being generated from its research and development activities, the Company does not expect to generate any revenue in the near future and may have limited ability to expend the capital necessary to undertake or complete future research and development work. There can be no assurance that debt or equity financing will be available or sufficient to meet these requirements or for other corporate purposes or, if debt or equity financing is available, that it will be on terms acceptable to the Company. Moreover, future activities may require the Company to alter its capitalization significantly. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing, it may be unable to complete the development and commercialization of PTL-202 and PTL-303 or continue its research and development programs. Unanticipated Costs and Delays The Company may be subject to unanticipated costs or delays that would accelerate its need for additional capital or increase the costs of individual clinical trials. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital when required or on acceptable terms, it may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and/or commercialization of one or more of its product candidates. The Company may also be required to: seek collaborators for our product candidates at an earlier stage than otherwise would be desirable and on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available; orrelinquish or license on unfavorable terms its rights to technologies or product candidates that it otherwise would seek to develop or commercialize itself. Uncertainty of Additional Financing 7


---

The Company does not have the existing capital resources to fund operations to complete a pivotal bio-availability study of PTL-202 providing information for future development studies. The Company anticipates that it will need to raise additional capital, through private placements or public offerings of its equity or debt securities, in addition to the capital on hand, to complete the long-term development and commercialization of its current product candidates. The inability of the Company to access sufficient additional capital for its operations could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or prospects. In particular, failure to obtain such financing on a timely basis could cause the Company to miss certain acquisition opportunities and reduce or terminate its business. Dilution To date the Company’s sources of cash have been limited primarily to proceeds from the founders, friends and retail investors. It is likely that the Company will enter into more agreements to issue Common Shares and warrants and options to purchase Common Shares. The impact of the issuance of a significant amount of Common Shares from the exercise of the Company’s outstanding warrants and options could place downward pressure on the market price of the Common Shares. The Company cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, its shareholders may experience significant dilution. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants, such as limitations on the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, limitations on its ability to acquire or license intellectual property rights and other operating restrictions that could adversely impact its ability to conduct business. No History of Sales or Profits The Company does not have a history of earnings or profit, has never had any products available for commercial sale and has not generated any revenue from product sales. The Company does not anticipate that it will generate revenue from the sale of products for the foreseeable future and has not yet submitted any products for approval by regulatory authorities. The Company continues to incur research and development and general and administrative expenses related to its operations. There is no assurance that in the future the Company will develop revenues, operate profitably or provide a return on investment. Therefore, investors should not invest on the expectation of receiving dividends or any guaranteed return on their investment of any nature. The Company is expected to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future and expects these losses to increase as it continues research activities and development of its product candidates, seeks regulatory approvals for its product candidates, and acquires rights to additional products for development. If the Company’s product candidates fail in clinical trials or do not gain regulatory approval, or if its product candidates do not achieve market acceptance, the Company may never become profitable. Even if the Company achieves profitability in the future, it may not be able to sustain profitability in subsequent periods. No History of Paying Dividends An increase in the market price of the Company’s Common Shares, which is uncertain and unpredictable, may be an investor’s sole source of gain from an investment in the Company’s Common Shares. An investment in the Company’s Common Shares may not be appropriate for investors who require dividend income. No dividends have been paid on the Company's Common Shares since inception and there is no assurance that such dividends will be earned or paid in the future. For the foreseeable future, the Company expects to re-invest in its operations all cash flow that might otherwise be available for distribution to shareholders in the form of cash dividends. While the payment of stock dividends is an alternative, there is no assurance that these will be paid in the foreseeable future. The Company does not anticipate paying any dividends on the Shares in the foreseeable future. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of the Company’s Common Shares will be the shareholder’s sole source of gain for the foreseeable future. Influence of Principal Shareholders As at the date of this filing, Directors and Officers will own approximately 20.7% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company. As a result, these shareholders, together or individually will have the ability to control or influence the outcome of most corporate actions requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors of the Company and the approval of certain corporate transactions. The concentration of ownership of the Company may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. Commercializing of Drug Candidates 8


---

In order to successfully commercialize drugs, the Company must enter into collaborations with partners to develop a capable sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure. The Company intends to enter into partnering, co-promotion and other distribution arrangements to commercialize products in most markets. However, the Company may not be able to enter into collaborations on acceptable terms, if at all, and may face competition in its search for partners with whom to collaborate. If the Company is unable to develop collaborations with one or more partners to perform these functions, it may not be able to successfully commercialize its products, which could cause the Company to cease operations. Dependence on the Success of PTL-202 PTL-202, the Company’s lead product candidate, has been tested in pre-clinical models of lung Fibrosis. These tests indicate that PTL-202 may be an effective drug to treat Pulmonary Fibrosis. PTL-202 was cleared by regulators to begin Phase 1 clinical trials during 2012. This drug/drug interaction trial was concluded in September 2012. In order to market PTL-202, the Company, in conjunction with its collaborators, will have to conduct additional clinical trials, including bioequivelency, Phase 2 proof of principal clinical trials as well as Phase 3 clinical trials, to demonstrate safety and efficacy. The Company has not initiated any Phase 2 or Phase 3 clinical trials with any of its product candidates. If the proposed clinical trials generate safety concerns or demonstrate a lack of efficacy, or competitive products developed by third parties show significant benefit in the indications in which the Company is developing product candidates, any planned clinical trial may be delayed, altered or not initiated and PTL-202 may never receive regulatory approval or be successfully commercialized. The Company’s other product candidate, PTL-303, has only been tested in cellular assays to determine a signal as a possible drug candidate. PTL-303 has not been tested in animals or humans. Even if the Company’s product candidates receive regulatory approval, the Company or its collaborators may not be successful in marketing them for a number of reasons, including the introduction by competitors of more clinically-effective or cost-effective alternatives or failure in the Company or collaborator’s sales and marketing efforts. Any failure to obtain approval of PTL-202 or PTL-303, and successfully commercialize them, would have a material and adverse impact on the Company’s business, which could cause the Company to cease operations. Reliance on the Company’s management Investors will in large part entrust their funds to the directors, management, and other professional advisors in whose judgment investors must depend with only limited information about their specific evaluation of the “sound business reasons” on which any reallocation of funds would be based. The Company's financing and enterprise acquisition/development policies and practices may be changed at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Persons who are not willing to rely on the Company’s management and/or Directors should not purchase the Company’s Shares. Attraction and Retention of the Company’s Management The Company will need to expand and effectively manage its managerial, operational, financial, development and other resources in order to successfully pursue its research, development and commercialization efforts of existing and future product candidates. The Company's success depends on its continued ability to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified management, pre-clinical and clinical personnel. The loss of the services of any of the Company’s senior management could delay or prevent the commercialization of its product candidates. The Company may not be able to attract or retain qualified management and scientific personnel in the future due to the intense competition for qualified personnel among specialty pharmaceutical, biotechnology, pharmaceutical and other businesses. If the Company is not able to attract and retain the necessary personnel to accomplish its business objectives, the achievement of its development objectives, its ability to raise additional capital and its ability to implement its business strategy may be significantly reduced. In particular, if the Company loses any members of its senior management team, it may not be able to find suitable replacements in a timely fashion, or at all, and the business may be harmed as a result. Use of Contract Personnel From time to time the Company will need to contract additional personnel to continue its expansion. The Company uses scientific, clinical and regulatory advisors extensively to assist in formulating its development and clinical strategies. These advisors are not the Company’s employees and may have commitments to, or consulting or advisory contracts with, other 9


---

entities that may limit their availability to the Company. In addition, these advisors may have arrangements with other companies to assist those companies in developing products or technologies that may compete with the Company’s. If the Company is unable to contract the correct personnel, it may be unable to implement or complete its product development programs, resulting in the inability to commercialize its product candidates or generate sufficient revenue to continue in business. Dependence on key employees, suppliers or agreements Executive management of the Company's business is primarily provided by the Company's CEO, CFO, and Board of Directors. At this stage of its corporate development, the Company has necessarily limited the establishment of extensive administrative and operating infrastructure. Instead, the Company may rely, for necessary skills, on external adviser/consultants with extensive senior level management experience in such fields as formulation, drug development, pharmaceutical regulations, finance, manufacturing, marketing, law, and investment. The future success of the Company is very dependent upon the ongoing availability and commitment of its directors, officers and advisor consultants, not all of whom are or will be bound by formal contractual employment agreements. The absence of these formal contractual relationships may be considered to represent an area of risk. Dependence on Third Parties to Conduct Clinical Trials The Company will hire third parties to conduct clinical trials. If these third parties do not perform as contracted or expected, the Company may not be able to obtain regulatory approval for its drug candidates, preventing the Company from becoming profitable. The Company relies on third parties, such as contract research organizations, medical institutions, clinical investigators and contract laboratories, to conduct its pre-clinical research and clinical trials. Although the Company relies on these third parties to conduct its clinical trials, it is responsible for ensuring that each of its clinical trials is conducted in accordance with its investigational plan and protocol, as approved by the FDA and non-U.S. regulatory authorities. Moreover, the FDA and non-U.S. regulatory authorities require the Company to comply with regulations and standards, commonly referred to as Good Clinical Practices (“GCPs”), for conducting, monitoring, recording and reporting the results of clinical trials to ensure that the data and results are scientifically credible and accurate and that the clinical trial subjects are adequately informed of the potential risks of participating in clinical trials. The Company’s reliance on third parties does not relieve it of the above responsibilities and regulatory requirements. If the third parties conducting the Company’s clinical trials do not perform their contractual duties or obligations, do not meet expected deadlines or need to be replaced, or if the quality or accuracy of the clinical data they obtain is compromised due to the failure to adhere to GCPs or for any other reason, the Company may need to enter into new arrangements with alternative third parties, and its clinical trials may be extended, delayed or terminated. In addition, a failure by third parties to perform their obligations in compliance with GCPs may cause the Company’s clinical trials to fail to meet regulatory requirements, which may require the Company to repeat its clinical trials. If these third parties do not successfully carry out their contractual duties or meet expected deadlines, the Company may be unable to obtain regulatory approval for or commercialize its current and future product candidates. Marketing and Distribution Risk If the Company is unable to develop its sales and marketing and distribution capability on its own or through collaborations with marketing partners, it will not be successful in commercializing its product candidates. The Company currently does not have a marketing staff nor a sales or distribution organization. The Company does not intend to develop a sales or distribution organization internally. The Company currently does not have marketing, sales or distribution capabilities. The Company has decided to collaborate with third parties that have direct sales forces and established distribution systems, either to augment or substitute in lieu of its own sales force and distribution systems. To the extent that the Company enters into co-promotion or other licensing arrangements, its product revenue is likely to be lower than if the Company directly marketed or sold its products, when and if it has any. In addition, any revenue received will depend in whole or in part upon the efforts of such third parties, which may not be successful and will generally not be within the Company’s control. If the Company is unable to enter into such arrangements on acceptable terms or at all, it may not be able to successfully commercialize its existing and future product candidates. If the Company is not successful in commercializing its existing and future product candidates, either on its own or through collaborations with one or more third parties, future product revenue will suffer and the Company may incur significant additional losses. 10


---

Industry Risk - Risks faced by the Company because of the industry in which it operates Research and Development The Company is developing new, proprietary substances, methods and processes intended to enhance the therapeutic effects of existing drugs in the treatment of diseases characterized by progressive Fibrosis. The existing drugs that form the basis of the Company’s efforts to develop new substances, methods and processes are well known, yet any scientific evidence that may exist to support the feasibility of the Company’s goals is not conclusive. If the Company is not successful in developing and marketing any new drugs, combinations of existing drugs or reformulation and repurposing of existing approved drugs it may never generate revenues and the business may fail. Clinical Trial Design The Company’s business strategy is to combine, reformulate and repurpose existing drugs for the treatment of new indications, and these new drug combinations or formulations may have the ability to treat many indications. The Company may incorrectly assess the market opportunities of an indication or may incorrectly estimate or fail to fully appreciate the scientific and technological difficulties associated with treating a specific indication. Furthermore, the quality and robustness of the results and data of any clinical study the Company conducts will depend upon the selection of a patient population for clinical testing. If the selected population is not representative of the intended population, further clinical testing of product candidates or termination of research and development activities related to the selected indication may be required. The Company’s ability to commence clinical testing or the choice of clinical development path could compromise business prospects and prevent the achievement of revenue. Product Failure in Clinical Trials Clinical trials may fail to adequately demonstrate the safety and efficacy of product candidates. The Company will be required to demonstrate with substantial evidence through well-controlled clinical trials that its product candidates are safe and effective for use in a diverse population before the Company can seek regulatory approvals for their commercial sale. Negative results from clinical trials will prevent the commercialization of a drug candidate. If the Company cannot show that its product candidates are both safe and effective in clinical trials, it will need to re-evaluate its strategic plans. Positive results from pre-clinical studies and early clinical trials should not be relied upon as evidence that later-stage or large-scale clinical trials will succeed. Success in early clinical trials does not mean that future clinical trials will be successful because product candidates in later-stage clinical trials may fail to demonstrate sufficient safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of the FDA and other non-U.S. regulatory authorities, despite having progressed through initial clinical trials. Even after the completion of Phase 3 clinical trials, the FDA or other non-U.S. regulatory authorities may disagree with the Company’s clinical trial design and its interpretation of data, and may require the Company to conduct additional clinical trials to demonstrate the efficacy of its product candidates. Regulatory Risk and Market Approval Any products that the Company develops will be subject to extensive government regulations relating to development, clinical trials, manufacturing and commercialization. In the United States, for example, the drug combinations that the Company intends to develop and market are regulated by the FDA under its new drug development and review process. Before any therapeutic products can be marketed, the sponsor company must obtain clearance from the FDA by submitting an investigational new drug application, then by successfully completing human testing under three phases of clinical trials, and finally by submitting a new drug application. The time required to obtain approvals for drug combinations or reformulations from the FDA and other agencies in foreign locales with similar processes is unpredictable. There is no assurance that the Company will ever receive regulatory approval to use its proprietary drug combinations or reformulations as human therapeutics. If such regulatory approval is not obtained, the Company may never become profitable. Failure to Receive Regulatory Approval f or Clinical Trials The Company’s clinical development programs for PTL-202 and PTL-303 may not receive regulatory approval for clinical trials if the Company fails to demonstrate that they are safe and effective in pre-clinical trials. Consequently, failure to obtain necessary approvals from the FDA or similar non-U.S. regulatory agencies to operate clinical trials for the Company’s product candidates could result in delays to the Company’s product development efforts. 11


---

Manufacture and Supply of Drug Candidates The Company does not own or operate manufacturing facilities, and it depends on third-party contract manufacturers for production of its product candidates. The Company has no experience in drug formulation or manufacturing, and it lacks the resources and the capability to manufacture any of its product candidates. Product candidates have been purchased in limited quantities for pre-clinical studies from scientific supply houses. For Phase 1 and 2 clinical trials of PTL-202, the Company will need to obtain additional quantities of active pharmaceutical ingredients. The Company will need to contract with a manufacturer for a supply of PTL-303 for pre-clinical, and Investigational New Drug-enabling toxicology studies and initial clinical trials (Phase 1 and 2). If, in the future, one of the Company’s product candidates is approved for commercial sale, the Company or its collaborator will need to manufacture that product candidate in commercial quantities. The Company cannot guarantee that the third-party manufacturers with which it has previously contracted will have sufficient capacity to satisfy future manufacturing needs of PTL-202 or PTL-303, or that the Company will be able to negotiate additional purchases of active pharmaceutical ingredients or drug products from these or alternative manufacturers on terms favourable to the Company, or at all. Third party manufacturers may fail to perform under their contractual obligations, or may fail to deliver the required commercial quantities of bulk active ingredients or finished product on a timely basis and at commercially reasonable prices. Any performance failure on the part of the Company’s contract manufacturers could delay clinical development or regulatory approval of the Company’s product candidates or commercialization of its future product candidates, depriving the Company of potential product revenue and resulting in additional losses. If the Company is required to identify and qualify an alternate manufacturer, it may be forced to delay or suspend its clinical trials, regulatory submissions, required approvals or commercialization of its product candidates, which may cause it to incur higher costs and could prevent the successfully commercializing its product candidates. If the Company is unable to find one or more replacement manufacturers capable of production at a reasonably favourable cost, in enough volume, of adequate quality, and on a timely basis, the Company would likely be unable to meet demand for its product candidates and its clinical trials could be delayed or it could lose potential revenue. The Company’s ability to replace an existing active pharmaceutical ingredient manufacturer may be difficult because the number of potential manufacturers may be limited and the FDA or non-US regulator must approve any replacement manufacturer before it can begin manufacturing the Company’s product candidates. Such approval would require new testing and compliance inspections. It may be difficult or impossible for the Company to identify and engage a replacement manufacturer on acceptable terms in a timely manner, or at all. The Company expects to continue to depend on third-party contract manufacturers for the foreseeable future. The Company’s product candidates require precise, high quality manufacturing. Any of the Company’s contract manufacturers will be subject to ongoing periodic unannounced inspection by the FDA and non-U.S. regulatory authorities to ensure strict compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practice (“cGMP”), and other applicable government regulations and corresponding standards. If the Company’s contract manufacturers fail to achieve and maintain high manufacturing standards in compliance with cGMP regulations, the Company may experience manufacturing errors resulting in patient injury or death, product recalls or withdrawals, delays or interruptions of production or failures in product testing or delivery, delay or prevention of filing or approval of marketing applications for the Company’s product candidates, cost overruns or other problems that could seriously harm its business. Significant scale-up of manufacturing may require additional validation studies, which the FDA must review and approve. Additionally, any third party manufacturers the Company retains to manufacture its product candidates on a commercial scale must pass an FDA or non-US regulator pre-approval inspection for conformance to the cGMPs before the Company can obtain approval of its product candidates. If the Company is unable to successfully increase the manufacturing capacity for a product candidate in conformance with cGMPs, the regulatory approval or commercial launch of any related products may be delayed or there may be a shortage in supply. Market Acceptance of the Company’s Products Even if the Company receives the necessary regulatory approvals to commercially sell its drug candidates, the success of these candidates will depend on their acceptance by physicians and patients, and reimbursement among other things. In the United States and elsewhere, the Company’s product revenues will depend principally upon the reimbursement rates established by third-party payors, including government health administration authorities, managed-care providers, public health insurers, private health insurers and other organizations. These third-party payors are increasingly challenging the price, and examining the cost effectiveness, of medical products and services. In addition, significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status, if any, of newly approved drugs, pharmaceutical products or product indications. The Company 12

may need to conduct post-marketing clinical trials in order to demonstrate the cost-effectiveness of products. Such clinical trials may require the Company to commit a significant amount of management time, financial and other resources. If reimbursement of the Company’s product candidates is unavailable or limited in scope or amount or if pricing is set at unsatisfactory levels, the Company’s revenues could be reduced. In some countries other than the United States, particularly the countries of the European Union and Canada, the pricing of prescription pharmaceuticals is subject to government controls. In these countries, obtaining pricing approval from government authorities can take six to twelve months or longer after the receipt of regulatory marketing approval of a product for an indication. To obtain reimbursement or pricing approval in some countries, the Company may be required to conduct a clinical trial that compares the cost-effectiveness of its product candidate to other available therapies. The Company’s revenues could be reduced if reimbursement of a product candidate is unavailable or limited in scope or amount or if pricing is set at unsatisfactory levels. Canadian, US, European and other foreign governments continue to propose and pass legislation designed to reduce the cost of healthcare, including drugs. In the United States, there have been, and the Company expects that there will continue to be, federal and state proposals to implement similar government control. In addition, increasing emphasis on managed care in the United States will continue to put pressure on the pricing of pharmaceutical products. For example, the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Actof 2003 reforms the way Medicare will cover and reimburse for pharmaceutical products. The legislation expands Medicare coverage for drug purchases by the elderly and eventually will introduce a new reimbursement methodology based on average sales prices for certain drugs. In addition, the new legislation provides authority for limiting the number of outpatient drugs that will be covered in any therapeutic class. As a result of the new legislation and the expansion of federal coverage of drug products, the Company expects that there will be additional pressure to contain and reduce costs. The Medicaid program and state healthcare laws and regulations in the USA may also be modified to change the scope of covered products and/or reimbursement methodology. Cost control initiatives could decrease the established reimbursement rates that the Company receives for any products in the future, which would limit its revenues and profitability. Legislation and regulations affecting the pricing of pharmaceutical products, including PTL-202 and PTL-303, may change at any time, which could further limit or eliminate reimbursement rates for PTL-202 or other product candidates. If the Company’s drug candidates fail to gain market acceptance, it may be unable to generate sufficient revenue to continue in business. Failure to Obtain Regulatory Approval Outside the United States The Company intends to market certain of its existing and future product candidates in non-North American markets. In order to market its existing and future product candidates in the European Union and many other non-North American jurisdictions, the Company must obtain separate regulatory approvals. The Company has had no interactions with non-North American regulatory authorities, and the approval procedures vary among countries and can involve additional testing, and the time required to obtain approval may differ from that required to obtain FDA approval. Approval by the FDA or other regulatory authorities does not ensure approval by regulatory authorities in other countries, and approval by one or more non-North American regulatory authorities does not ensure approval by regulatory authorities in other countries or by the FDA. The non-North American regulatory approval process may include all of the risks associated with obtaining FDA approval. The Company may not obtain non-North American regulatory approvals on a timely basis, if at all. In addition, the Company may not be able to file for non-North American regulatory approvals and may not receive necessary approvals to commercialize its existing and future product candidates in any market. If such regulatory approval is not obtained, the Company may never become profitable. Product Liability The use of the Company’s drug candidates in clinical trials and the sale of any products for which regulatory approval is obtained may expose the Company to product liability claims from consumers, health care providers, pharmaceutical companies or other entities. Any claim brought against the Company may cause the diversion of resources from normal operations or cause the Company to cease the sale, distribution and marketing of its products that have received regulatory approval. This may cause the Company to cease operations. Intellectual Property Rights The Company’s commercial success will depend, in part, on obtaining and maintaining patent protection, trade secret 13


---

protection and regulatory protection of its proprietary technology and information as well as successfully defending third-party challenges to its proprietary technology and information. The Company will be able to protect its proprietary technology and information from use by third parties only to the extent that valid and enforceable patents, trade secrets or regulatory protection cover them and the Company has exclusive rights to utilize them. The ability of the Company’s licensors, collaborators and suppliers to maintain their patent rights against third-party challenges to their validity, scope or enforceability will also play an important role in determining the Company’s future. Reliance on Licensors to Maintain Patent Rights The Company’s commercial success may also depend, in part, on maintaining patent rights that have been licensed related to products that the Company may market in the future. Since the Company will not fully control the patent prosecution of any licensed patent applications, it is possible that the licensors will not devote the same resources or attention to the prosecution of the licensed patent applications as the Company would if it controlled the prosecution of the applications. The licensor may not pursue and successfully prosecute any potential patent infringement claim, may fail to maintain their patent applications, or may pursue any litigation less aggressively than the Company would. Consequently, the resulting patent protection, if any, may not be as strong or comprehensive. Uncertainty of Patent Protection The patent positions of life science companies including specialty pharmaceutical companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions that include unresolved principles and issues. No consistent policy regarding the breadth of claims allowed in such companies’ patents has emerged to date in the United States, and the patent situation outside the United States is even more uncertain. Changes in either the patent laws or in interpretations of patent laws in the United States or other countries may diminish the value of the Company’s intellectual property rights. Therefore, the Company cannot predict with any certainty the range of claims that may be allowed or enforced in its patents or in-licensed patents. Reliance on Trade Secrets The Company also relies on trade secrets to protect its technology, especially where the Company does not believe patent protection is appropriate or obtainable. However, trade secrets are difficult to protect. While the Company seeks to protect confidential information, in part, through confidentiality agreements with employees, consultants, contractors, or scientific and other advisors, they may unintentionally or wilfully disclose the Company’s confidential information to competitors. Enforcing a claim against a third party related to the illegal acquisition and use of trade secrets can be expensive and time consuming, and the outcome is often unpredictable. If the Company is not able to maintain patent or trade secret protection on its technologies and product candidates, then the Company may not be able to exclude competitors from developing or marketing competing products, and the Company may not be able to operate profitability. Intellectual Property Infringement Claims There has been, and there will continue to be, significant litigation and demands for licenses in the life sciences industry regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. Although the Company anticipates having a valid defence to any allegation that its current product candidates, production methods and other activities infringe the valid and enforceable intellectual property rights of any third parties, the Company cannot be certain that a third party will not challenge this position in the future. Other parties may own patent rights that the Company might infringe with its drug candidates, products or other activities, and the Company’s competitors or other patent holders may assert that the Company’s products and the methods employed are covered by their patents. These parties could bring claims against the Company causing substantial litigation expenses and, if successful, may require payment of substantial damages. Some of the Company’s potential competitors may be better able to sustain the costs of complex patent litigation, and depending on the circumstances, the Company could be forced to stop or delay its research, development, manufacturing or sales activities. Any of these costs could cause the Company to go out of business. Licensed Patent Rights The Company has licensed patents and plans to license technologies and other patents if it believes it is necessary or useful to use third party intellectual property to develop its products, or if its product development threatens to infringe upon the intellectual property rights of third parties. The Company may be required to pay license fees or royalties or both to obtain such licenses, and there is no guarantee that such licenses will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. Even if the Company is able to successfully obtain a license, the rights may be non-exclusive, which would give the Company’s competitors’ access to the same intellectual property it has rights to, which could prevent the Company from commercializing a product. 14


---

The Company’s licensors may terminate the license. Without protection for the intellectual property that is licensed, other companies may be able to offer substantially similar products for sale, the Company may not be able to market or sell the planned products or generate any revenues. Licenses and Permits to Operate The operations of the Company may require licenses and permits from various governmental authorities, in both domestic and foreign jurisdictions. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry out its research and development of its projects. Without these licenses and permits the Company may not be able to market or sell the planned products or generate any revenues. Competition The pharmaceutical industry is intensely competitive in all its phases, and the Company competes with other companies that have greater financial resource and technical facilities. Competition could adversely affect the Company’s ability to acquire suitable projects in the future. Significant and increasing competition exists for pharmaceutical opportunities internationally. There are a number of large established pharmaceutical companies with substantial capabilities and far greater financial and technical resources than the Company. The Company may be unable to acquire additional attractive pharmaceutical development opportunities on terms it considers acceptable and there can be no assurance that the Company's research and development programs will yield any new drugs or result in any commercially viable compounds or technologies. Conflicts of Interest Certain of the directors and officers of the Company will be engaged in, and will continue to engage in, other business activities on their own behalf and on behalf of other companies (including life science companies) and, as a result of these and other activities, such directors and officers may become subject to conflicts of interest. The British Columbia Business Corporation Act (“BCBCA”) provides that in the event that a director has a material interest in a contract or proposed contract or agreement that is material to the Company, the director shall disclose his interest in such contract or agreement and shall refrain from voting on any matter in respect of such contract or agreement, subject to and in accordance with the BCBCA. To the extent that conflicts of interest arise, such conflicts will be resolved in accordance with the provisions of the BCBCA. To the knowledge of the management of the Company, there are no existing or potential material conflicts of interest between the Company and a proposed director or officer of the Company except as otherwise disclosed herein. Foreign Currency Risk A substantial portion of the Company’s expenses and future revenues may be incurred in foreign currencies. The Company’s business will be subject to risks typical of an international business including, but not limited to, differing tax structures, regulations and restrictions and general foreign exchange rate volatility. Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and such other currencies may have a material effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations and could result in downward pressure for the Company’s products or in losses from currency exchange rate fluctuations. The Company does not actively hedge against foreign currency fluctuations. Public Company Risk - Risks related to the Company’s shares being listed on a stock exchange Price Volatility of Publicly Traded Securities In recent years, the securities markets in the United States and Canada have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market prices of securities of many companies have experiences wide fluctuations in price which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. It may be anticipated that any quoted market for the Common Shares will be subject to market trends generally, notwithstanding any potential success of the Company in creating revenues, cash flows or earnings. The value of the Company’s Common Shares will be affected by such volatility. An active public market for the Common Shares might not develop or be sustained. If an active public market for the Common Shares does not develop, the liquidity of a shareholder’s investment may be limited and the share price may decline below the initial price shareholders paid for their shares. 15

Certain Canadian Laws Could Delay or Deter a Change of Control Limitations on the ability to acquire and hold the Company’s Common Shares may be imposed by the Competition Act(Canada). This legislation permits the Commissioner of Competition (Canada) to review any acquisition of a significant interest in the Company. This legislation grants the Commissioner jurisdiction to challenge such an acquisition before the Canadian Competition Tribunal if the Commissioner believes that it would, or would be likely to, result in a substantial lessening or prevention of competition in any market in Canada. The Investment Canada Act(Canada) subjects an acquisition of control of a company by a non-Canadian to government review if the value of the Company’s assets as calculated pursuant to the legislation exceeds a threshold amount. A reviewable acquisition may not proceed unless the relevant minister is satisfied that the investment is likely to be a net benefit to Canada. Any of the foregoing could prevent or delay a change of control and may deprive or limit strategic opportunities for the Company’s shareholders to sell their Common Shares. The Company is at Risk of Securities Class Action Litigation In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following a decline in the market price of its securities. This risk is especially relevant for the Company because biotechnology, specialty pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies have experienced significant stock price volatility in recent years. If the Company faces such litigation, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could harm the Company’s business. Item 4.

B. Business overview Business Strategy The Company is focused on combing, reformulating and repurposing approved drugs. It is initially developing drugs for diseases of progressive excessive scarring, including Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, Liver Cirrhosis, Pulmonary Fibrosis associated with Scleroderma and Post Lung Transplant Bronchiolitis Obliterans. The Company assumes the clinical, regulatory and commercial development activities of its product candidates and advances them through the regulatory and clinical pathways toward commercial approval. This strategy reduces the risk, time and cost of developing therapies for Fibrosis by avoiding the risks associated with basic research and using compounds with unknown safety and toxicity. The Company leverages its expertise to manage and perform critical steps in drug development including the design and conduct of clinical trials, the development and execution of intellectual property strategies, the recruitment and selection of development partners and the interaction with drug regulatory authorities. Its strategy includes reformulating approved drugs to increase efficacy and patient compliance, and completing the further clinical testing, manufacturing and other regulatory requirements sufficient to seek marketing authorizations via the filing of a New Drug Application (“NDA”) with the FDA and/or a potential Marketing Application Authorization (“MAA”) with the European Medicines Evaluation Agency (“EMEA”) or similar marketing authorizations by regulators in other countries including Canada. The main elements of the Company’s strategy are as follows: 1) Identification of Product Candidates The Company performs scientific evaluations and market assessments of drugs and drug combinations and research from academics and other drug development companies. As part of this process, the Company will evaluate the clinical and pre-clinical research and the intellectual property rights associated with the potential products and research to determine the commercial potential of the product candidate. The Company intends to mitigate the risks associated with development and commercialization of drug candidates by targeting drug candidates that: are combinations of already approved compounds;have well established safety records;have potential to be reformulated to a once a day oral dose;have potential to be reformulated to an oral dissolving technology;are already marketed in countries other than the United States or Europe; andhave pre-clinical animal data or clinical data of potential efficacy in Fibrosis additional indications. The Company has initially focused on Fibrosis indications as it believes there is a large unmet medical need in this area. As an example, Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) affects more than 130,000 Americans (IPF Summit 2011). An estimated 48,000 cases of IPF are diagnosed annually (Am J Respir Crit Care Med. 2006;174(7):810-816). In addition, patients with IPF have poor prognosis; an estimated 40,000 people die each year from IPF. Further, there are no FDA approved treatments for IPF (IPF Summit 2011). The Company has developed the Scientific and Advisory Board (“SAB”) to support this strategy. The members of both of this group are very experienced in the clinical development of drug candidates for Pulmonary Fibrosis, lung transplant, airway disease and Scleroderma. In the future, the Company may develop product candidates for other indications but the current strategy is to leverage the expertise and skills the Company has in Fibrosis, particularly Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. 2) In-licensing In identifying a promising product candidate, the Company seeks to negotiate a license to the rights for the candidate from the holder of those rights. Typically the goal is to secure licenses that permit the Company to conduct further research, development and clinical trials as well as engage in additional intellectual property protection. The Company will also seek terms that provide it with the rights to further licensing of manufacturing and marketing rights to any resulting products. This process is known as in-licensing. 3) Product Development 17


---

Upon securing the appropriate rights to the product candidate, the Company will advance the candidate through the regulatory and commercialization pathways for marketing approval in major markets. This process includes implementing intellectual property strategies, formulation and reformulation strategies, making regulatory submissions, conducting or managing clinical trials, and performing or managing the collection, collation and interpretation of clinical and field data and the submission of this data to relevant regulatory authorities. 4) Partnering To enhance its capabilities to develop and market its product candidates, the Company may enter into agreements or partnerships with companies that have formulation, drug development, sales or marketing expertise, or all of the above. Entering into such an agreement may provide cash to develop other products or advance other products in the Company’s portfolio. In addition, entering into a partnership with a company that has complementary skills and using that company’s expertise to further accelerate development of its product candidates, may enhance the returns to the Company from the product candidate. 5) Outsourcing In order to optimize return on investment and the development of product candidates, the Company uses a virtual company business model which includes outsourcing all non-core business activities. Factors that the Company considers to determine core and non-core activities include: Infrastructure costOperating costFrequency of useRegulatory protocolRequirement for third party verificationCapacityQuality control Management has determined that having its own laboratory and staff for conducting infrequent pre-clinical studies is not a core capacity that is required and, therefore, it has to develop relationships with labs that it may outsource this work to. In order to maintain quality control, these projects are managed very closely by the Company’s staff and the Company develops all protocols for the completion of this work. Other functions the Company has decided to outsource include analytical assay development, formulation, clinical trials and manufacturing. It is currently more cost-effective to outsource these tasks due to the Company’s sporadic requirements. As these requirements become less sporadic the Company may develop internal capabilities to complete currently outsourced tasks. 6) Principal Products PTL-202 The Company’s lead product candidate, PTL-202, is a combination of drugs that have been separately approved for marketing by the FDA for sale in the United States. In animal trials, the combination was more effective than either of its components at reducing indicators of Fibrosis. The Company is planning to complete development of a once a day pill of the combination using proprietary in licensed technologies. The Company conducted a drug/drug interaction study in 2012 and plans to conduct a bioequivalence study in 2013 with PTL-202 in humans. The Company found a combination of two compounds developed in France that showed efficacy in human Fibrosis. The efficacy of this combination to prevent further Fibrosis in humans was confirmed in two separate independent proofs of principal Phase 2 clinical trials in Radiation Induced Fibrosis. The Company took one of the compounds, Pentoxifylline, and combined it with a powerful antioxidant and then conducted experiments in a mouse. These experiments showed that the new combination was effective at reducing the progression of the Fibrosis in the mouse lung. This new combination is being developed as the Company’s lead drug candidate, PTL-202. A provisional patent was filed in the United States by the Company in October 2007 to cover the composition of matter and method of use of this combination. In October 2008, the Company filed an application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty based on the above provisional application. The Company received a positive preliminary examination of the PCT application in the spring of 2009. During 2012 the patent prosecution continued and the Company filed Reponses to patent examiners in Europe and the US. The combination has now been formulated into a once a day tablet and the drugs included in PTL-202 have been successfully 18


---

tested in a drug/drug interaction study in humans in 2012. PTL-303 The Company’s other product candidate, PTL-303, is a combination of drugs including one that has been approved for use in Japan and other jurisdictions. This combination may have a wide range of uses, including treating, preventing and reducing disorders of progressive scarring in humans. The Company does not have any funds allocated for the further development of PTL-303 at this time. The composition, including a cytokine modifier and anti-oxidant which is a precursor of Glutathione, was investigated for its antifibrotic activity by employing two In Vitro collagen synthesis assays. The Company discovered that the combination PTL-303 brings about substantial synergistic anti-fibrotic effects in a TGF-Beta1 mediated collagen synthesis assay, when compared to the individual drugs. The composition can be administered in any convenient manner, such as a pill, or inhalation, and may be formulated for injection. A provisional patent titled “Composition and Method for Treating Fibrosis” was filed by the Company with the United States patent office on October 29, 2008. The application number is 61/109,446. A PCT application covering the technology of PTL-303 was filed by the Company in October 2009. 7) Oral Dissolving Technology The Company has executed a letter of intent with Globe Labs Ltd. Of Vancouver, BC for the potential in-license of an oral dissolving tablet technology. The technology may be used for the delivery of up to three different compounds. The initial use of the technology maybe for the delivery of sildenafil citrate for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Principal Products 1) PTL-202 Once a Day Formulation Combination of Pan-phosphodiesterase inhibitor, Pentoxifylline, with N-acetylcysteine Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (“IPF”) is a long term, progressive form of lung disease characterized by progressive buildup of scar tissue on the supporting framework (interstitium) of the lungs. The term Idiopathic is used only when the cause of the Fibrosis is unknown. Despite extensive investigation, the cause of IPF remains unknown. The disease involves abnormal and excessive deposition of scar tissue (Fibrosis) in the Pulmonary Interstitium (mainly the walls of the Alveoli) with minimal associated inflammation (Figure 1). The symptoms initially develop slowly. The most common symptom is progressive difficulty in breathing, but also includes dry cough. Figure 1 - Human Airways 19


---

The Company’s lead product, PTL-202, is a combination of two compounds designed to treat IPF: Pentoxifylline (PTX) and NAC (N-acetylcysteine). The Company has completed pre-clinical studies on PTL-202, development of a pill that can be taken once a day and completed a drug/drug interaction study in humans in 2012. A pivotal bio-equivalency study is planned for 2013 and maybe followed by a Phase 2 Proof-of-Principle clinical trial beginning in 2014. Therapeutic Approach The combination of drugs in PTL-202 is intended to stop the progression of IPF by reducing the amount of several messenger molecules that are known to be associated with scarring. In addition, the combination has anti-oxidant properties that protect the lung cells from further damage caused by the Fibrosis. PTX increases the diameter of blood vessels and enhances blood flow. PTX has been successfully and safely used for many years for treatment of vascular diseases such as cramping in the leg. There is growing evidence that PTX is an anti-inflammatory and may inhibit scarring in the lung. NAC (N-acetylcysteine), the second compound in the PTL-202 combination, has been shown in animals to prevent some of the effects of IPF, including the progressive deterioration of patients. Pre-clinical Studies The Company has conducted a number of pre-clinical studies using PTL-202 for the treatment of lung Fibrosis in a mouse. The Company believes that these studies show that PTL-202 has the potential to be a safe and effective treatment for IPF. The Company conducted proof-of-concept animal studies to evaluate the relative efficacy of stand-alone or combination treatments of PTX and NAC in lung Fibrosis. In the initial experiment, wet lung weight was measured under various treatments. From this early experiment, it was determined that PTL-202 may be more effective than its separate components. In further pre-clinical experiments, PTL-202 treatment was more effective than either PTX or NAC alone on lung Fibrosis in mice. In addition, treatment with PTL-202 caused a significant reduction in TNF-alpha in the lung fluid. This finding indicates that PTL-202 may act by reducing the amount of TNF-alpha. TNF-alpha is thought to stimulate the formation of scar tissue. Moreover, there were no deaths or abnormal reactions with a daily administration of PTL-202 during the experiments, indicating a lack of side effects which is consistent with the data from earlier clinical trials in humans for PTX and NAC separately. The results of these extensive pre-clinical studies suggest that PTL-202 may be safe and effective agent for the treatment of Pulmonary Fibrosis. 20

DEVELOPMENT PLANS OF PTL-202 Formulation Development The goal of the Company is to develop a pill containing both drugs that only needs to be taken once per day. Existing, marketed, modified release versions of the drugs will be evaluated as a simple daily or twice daily fixed dose combination formulation. Given, the preliminary dose ranges/strengths of 600-1200mg of PTX combination with 600mg-1200mg NAC once a day, the physical size for an ingestible tablet will be a barrier to success. Current formulation of PTX, with Vitamin E rather than NAC, in a Phase 2 study has shown inhibition of messenger molecules and a reduction in scar tissue. Both PTX and NAC are water soluble molecules, with short resident time in the bloodstream. This high water solubility presents a challenge to once-a-day administration as both molecules are rapidly absorbed and metabolized quickly by the body. The goal from a development perspective is to deliver an appropriately formulated controlled release product, reducing the absolute amount of drug per tablet needed to achieve a clinically effective blood level. To accomplish this goal formulation development prototypes will target release of the drugs to provide sustained levels of the drug in the blood. A controlled release formulation of PTL-202, a fixed dose combination of pentoxifylline (PTX) and N-acetylcysteine (NAC), for the potential treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), Liver Cirrhosis and other fibrotic diseases was completed in 2012. Phase 1: Clinical Studies The Company has completed the initial clinical study of PTL-202. The study was a drug/drug interaction study. This study, conducted in humans was intended to determine if any new by products are created by the combination of the drugs in PTL-202 and to determine if the combination is bio-equivalent to its generic counter parts. The study included 12 healthy males. The bio-analytical portion (PK assay development and good laboratory practice validation) of the above-mentioned study was completed by a lab contracted by the Company. Therefore, following the Company’s stated business strategy, the Company acted as a sponsor of the study and the CROs were hired to execute the objectives of the study. Successful completion of this Phase 1 study of PTL-202 is a major milestone because as many as 30% of Phase 1 drug trials are failures. A further pivotal bio-equivalency study is planned for 2013. This study would include up to 20 individuals and take about 2 months to complete. Phase 2: Proof- of-Concept in Humans The proposed Phase 2 study is a proof-of-concept or proof-of-relevance trial. The proposed study utilizes principles of adaptive design approach and has two interconnected parts. The proof-of-concept trial will be designed to assess the safety and efficacy of PTL-202 in patients with IPF. Study patients will receive formulated PTL-202 or individual components of PTL-202. Neither the patient or the physician will know if they are getting PTL-202 or a component. The objectives of the study are: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of 12 months of treatment with PTL-202 in patients with IPF versus placebo and individual components of PTL-202 (PTX and NAC);To compare changes in forced vital volume capacity in IPF patients treated with PTL-202 versus treatment with PTX and NAC alone and placebo;To compare changes in the following parameters in IPF patients treated with PTL-202;Diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide;Extent and nature of IPF-related abnormalities on high resolution CT; andTo compare quality of life evaluations in IPF patients treated with PTL-202 and individual components of PTL- 202 versus placebo. The cost to complete the Phase 2 study is estimated at $8 million. Additional funds will be required to complete this phase of the development of PTL-202. On completion of this proof-of-principal study the Company will look to out-license PTL-202 to a larger company capable of completing the development and commercialization of PTL-202. Such additional funds would likely be raised through a private placement of securities. There is no assurance that such funding will be available. See also “Risk Factors” in this filing. 2) PIPELINE PRODUCT: PTL-303 Fixed Dose Combination of TGF-β Inhibitor and NAC - Pre-clinical 21


---

The Company has completed In Vitro studies of this combination that have confirmed the compounds method of action. This data has been included in the provisional patent application for PTL-303 to support the composition of matter and methods claims. The Company does not have any funds allocated for the further development of PTL-303 at this time. In the future, as funds are available, the Company will initiate animal studies using lung Fibrosis in mice to generate additional data to assess the efficacy of PTL-303. The pre-clinical work will also focus on the delivery of the compound to the liver and the efficacy of the compound in a liver Fibrosis model. Efficacy in the liver Fibrosis model will lead to further Investigational New Drug application (IND) enabling studies when funds are available. Manufacturing The Company has limited experience in, and does not own facilities for, manufacturing any products or product candidates. The Company, in partnership with IntelGenx Corp. (IntelGenx), will utilize contract manufacturers to produce clinical supplies of any components of its products that are not commercially available. Although the Company intends to continue to rely on contract manufacturers to produce certain of its products for both clinical and commercial supplies, the Company and IntelGenx will oversee the production of those products. Sales, Marketing and Distribution The Company currently has no sales or distribution capabilities and limited marketing capabilities. In order to commercialize its products, the Company must develop sales, marketing and distribution capabilities or make arrangements with other parties to perform these services for us. The Company’s intention is to out-license its products once Phase 2 testing has been completed. It is anticipated the licensee will have the capability to market, sell and distribute the Company’s products.

Competitive Conditions Current Therapies for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis In North America the current therapy for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis is based on the premise that recruitment and activation of inflammatory cells leads to the progressive development of IPF. However, massive doses of immunosuppressive agents meant to decrease the number or activity of inflammatory cells do not alter the development of IPF. Instead, patients develop serious side effects leading to a shortened lifespan. Since the current therapy is not successful, there is an urgent need to develop alternative potent, non-toxic, long lasting therapy for these unmet medical needs. PTL-202 works by inhibiting messenger molecules that are active in the development of IPF, specifically TNF-alpha. Until recently treatment for IPF in North America consists of using immunosuppressants and anti-oxidants. In an attempt to minimize side effects many patients are prescribed drugs to prevent GI side effects, osteoporosis and infection. A clinical study during 2012 concluded that this treatment using immunosuppressants was actually harmful to IPF patients. Supplemental oxygen is prescribed to patients who are unable to maintain a satisfactory amount of oxygen in the blood. This treatment remains unsatisfactory as the median survival is 2 – 4 years once diagnosis is made and the 5 year survival rate ranges from 20% – 40% (Olson AL, Swigris JJ, Lezotte DC, Norris JM, Wilson CG, Brown KK. “Mortality from pulmonary fibrosis increased in the United States from 1992 to 2003”. Am J Respir Crit Care Med. 2007;176(3):277-284). InterMune Inc.’s (“InterMune”) Pirfenidone represents the most advanced therapy being developed to treat IPF. Pirfenidone is a synthetic small molecule that is orally available for the prevention of fibrotic lesions in general. Pirfenidone has gastrointestinal side effects and will darken the skin and cover from the sun is required with its use. In contrast to PTL-202, Pirfenidone works by reducing the activity of an enzyme. Both InterMune and Shinogi & Co., Ltd. (“Shinogi”) have conducted Phase 3 trials of Pirfenidone to treat IPF. InterMune has recently received approval to market Pirfenidone for IPF in the European Union and Canada, Shinogi recently received approval to market Pirfenidone for IPF in Japan. Pirfenidone is currently undergoing clinical trials for uterine fibrosis (PhII), scleroderma (PhII), proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PhII), multiple sclerosis (PhII), liver fibrosis (PhII), wound healing (PhI), and benign prostatic hyperplasia (PhI). Pirfenidone is not approved for use in either the United States. There are no therapies for IPF approved in the United States. Current Therapies for Scleroderma Treatment of Scleroderma is directed toward the individual feature(s) affecting different areas of the body: Aggressive treatment of elevations in blood pressure have been extremely important in preventing kidney failure;Blood-pressure medications, such as captopril, are frequently used; andSerious inflammation of the lungs (alveolitis) can require immune suppression with cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) along with prednisone. Additionally, medications are used to suppress the overly active immune system that seems to be spontaneously causing the disease in organs affected. Medications used for this purpose include penicillamine, azathioprine, and methotrexate. The optimal treatment of Scleroderma lung disease is an area of active research. Stem-cell transplantation is being explored as a possible option. There are no effective treatments for lung fibrosis associated with Scleroderma. No medication has been found to be universally effective for all patients with scleroderma. In an individual patient, the illness may be mild and not require treatments. In some, the disease is ravaging and relentless. Lung fibrosis in Scleroderma may be fatal. PTL-202’s main focus in Scleroderma is treating patients with lung fibrosis. Current Therapies for Post Lung Transplant Bronchiolitis Obliterans The current therapy for Post Lung Transplant Bronchiolitis Obliterans (“PLT-BO”) is based on the same premise as in IPF, recruitment and activation of inflammatory cells leads to the development and progression of PLT-BO. However, massive doses of immunosuppressive agents meant to decrease the number or activity of inflammatory cells do not alter the course of IPF or PLT-BO. Instead, patients develop serious side effects leading to a shortened lifespan. There are no FDA-approved treatments for IPF. Despite these advances, optimal therapy for IPF remains elusive and has yet to be identified 24

Economic Dependence The Company’s business is substantially dependent on its own patent applications to use intellectual property protected by patent, trade secret and know-how owned by the Company. It is not expected that the Company’s business will be affected in the current financial year by the termination of the Dalhousie license. The Company’s business is substantially dependent on contracts to purchase the major part of its requirements for research and development services for the development of assays, formulation, pre-clinical research, clinical research and/or raw materials and manufactured product upon which its business depends. The Company expects that its business will be affected in the current financial year by the negotiation of new contracts and renegotiation or termination of contracts or sub-contracts. Seasonality Not Applicable Insurance We maintain commercial general liability insurance coverage to cover product liability claims arising from the use of our products. We also maintain liability insurance to cover specific clinical trials risks. Our insurance coverage, however, may not be sufficient to cover any claim for product liability. We are subject to product liability exposure and have limited insurance coverage. Any product liability claims or potential safety-related regulatory actions could damage our reputation and materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We also provide directors’ and officers’ liability and company reimbursement insurance to cover all of our directors and officers against losses arising from claims we indemnify for. Our current officers and directors insurance coverage expires on January 24, 2017. We plan to renew the insurance upon its expiration. Facilities See Item 4D, “Information on the Company — Property, Plant and Equipment.” Legal Proceedings We are not currently a party to any material legal proceeding. From time to time, we may bring against others or be subject to various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Regulation Government Regulations The current and future operations and research and development activities of the Company are or will be subject to various laws and regulations in the countries in which the Company conducts or plans to conduct activities, including but not limited to the United States, Canada and the European Union. These laws and regulations govern the research, development, sale and marketing of pharmaceuticals, taxes, labor standards, occupational health and safety, toxic substances, chemical products and materials, waste management and other matters relating to the pharmaceutical industry. Permits, registrations or other authorizations may also be required to maintain operations and to carry out the Company’s future research and development activities, and these permits, registrations or authorizations will be subject to revocation, modification and renewal. Governmental authorities have the power to enforce compliance with lease conditions, regulatory requirements and the provisions of required permits, registrations or other authorizations, and violators may be subject to civil and criminal penalties including fines, injunctions, or both. The failure to obtain or maintain a required permit may also result in the imposition of civil and criminal penalties, and third parties may have the right to sue to enforce compliance. The Company expects to be able to comply with all applicable laws and regulations and does not believe that such 26

compliance will have a material adverse effect on its competitive position. The Company has obtained and intends to obtain all permits, licenses and approvals required by all applicable regulatory agencies to maintain current operations and to carry out future research and development activities. U.S. Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency Regulation by governmental authorities in the United States and other countries is a significant factor in the development, manufacture and marketing of pharmaceuticals. All of the Company’s product candidates will require regulatory approval by government agencies prior to commercialization. In particular, product candidates are subject to rigorous pre-clinical testing and clinical trials and other premarketing approval requirements of the FDA and regulatory authorities in other countries. Various federal, state and foreign statutes and regulations govern the manufacturing, safety, labeling, storage, record-keeping and marketing of pharmaceutical products. The lengthy process of seeking required approvals and the continuing need for compliance with applicable statutes and regulations require the expenditure of substantial resources. When and if regulatory approval is obtained for any of the Company’s product candidates, the approval may be limited in scope, which may significantly limit the indicated uses for which the product candidates may be marketed, promoted and advertised. In addition, approved pharmaceuticals and manufacturers are subject to ongoing review and discovery of previously unknown problems that may result in restrictions on the manufacture, sale or use of approved pharmaceuticals or in their withdrawal from the market. Pre-clinical Studies Before testing any compounds with potential therapeutic value in human subjects in the United States, stringent governmental requirements for pre-clinical data must be satisfied. Pre-clinical testing includes both in vitro and in vivo laboratory evaluation and characterization of the safety and efficacy of a drug and its formulation. Pre-clinical testing results obtained from these studies, including tests in several animal species, are submitted to the FDA as part of an investigational new drug application, or IND, and are reviewed by the FDA prior to the commencement of human clinical trials. These pre-clinical data must provide an adequate basis for evaluating both the safety and the scientific rationale for the initial trials in human volunteers. Clinical Trials If a company wants to conduct clinical trials in the United States to test a new drug in humans, an IND must be prepared and submitted to the FDA. The IND becomes effective if not rejected or put on clinical hold by the FDA within 30 days of filing the application. The IND process can result in substantial delay and expense. Clinical Trial Phases Clinical trials typically are conducted in three sequential phases, Phases 1, 2 and 3, with Phase 4 trials potentially conducted after marketing approval. These phases may be compressed, may overlap or may be omitted in some circumstances. Phase 1 clinical trials: After an IND becomes effective, Phase 1 human clinical trials can begin. These trials evaluate a drug’s safety profile and the range of safe dosages that can be administered to healthy volunteers or patients, including the maximum tolerated dose that can be given to a trial subject. Phase 1 trials also determine how a drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized and excreted by the body, and duration of its action.Phase 2 clinical trials: Phase 2 clinical trials are generally designed to establish the optimal dose, to evaluate the potential effectiveness of the drug in patients who have the target disease or condition and to further ascertain the safety of the drug at the dosage given in a larger patient population.Phase 3 clinical trials: In Phase 3 clinical trials, the drug is usually tested in a controlled, randomized trial comparing the investigational new drug to a control (which may be an approved form of therapy) in an expanded and well-defined patient population and at multiple clinical sites. The goal of these trials is to obtain definitive statistical evidence of safety and effectiveness of the investigational new drug regime as compared to control in defined patient populations with a given disease and stage of illness. New Drug Application After completion of clinical trials, if there is substantial evidence that the drug is both safe and effective, a New Drug Application, is prepared and submitted for the FDA to review. The New Drug Application must contain all of the essential information on the drug gathered to that date, including data from pre-clinical studies and clinical trials, and the content and format of a New Drug Application must conform with all FDA regulations and guidelines. Accordingly, the preparation and submission of a New Drug Application is an expensive and major undertaking for a company. 27


---

The FDA reviews all New Drug Applications submitted before it accepts them for filing and may request additional information from the sponsor rather than accepting a New Drug Application for filing. In such an event, the New Drug Application must be submitted with the additional information and, again, is subject to review before filing. Once the submission is accepted for filing, the FDA begins an in-depth review of the New Drug Application. By law, the FDA has 180 days in which to review the New Drug Application and respond to the applicant. The review process is often significantly extended by the FDA through requests for additional information and clarification. The FDA may refer the application to an appropriate advisory committee, typically a panel of clinicians, for review, evaluation and a recommendation as to whether the application should be approved and the scope of any approval. The FDA is not bound by the recommendation, but gives great weight to it. If the FDA evaluations of both the New Drug Application and the manufacturing facilities are favorable, the FDA may issue either an approval letter or an approvable letter, which usually contains a number of conditions that must be satisfied in order to secure final approval. If the FDA’s evaluation of the New Drug Application submission or manufacturing facility is not favorable, the FDA may refuse to approve the New Drug Application or issue a not approvable letter. Fast Track Designation and Priority Review The FDA’s fast track program is intended to facilitate the development and expedite the review of drugs that are intended for the treatment of a serious or life-threatening condition for which there is no effective treatment and which demonstrate the potential to address unmet medical needs for their condition. Under the fast track program, the sponsor of a new drug may request the FDA to designate the drug for a specific indication as a fast track product at any time during the clinical development process. In some cases, the FDA may designate a product for priority review. A product is eligible for priority review, or review within a targeted six-month time frame from the time a New Drug Application is accepted for filing, if the product provides a significant improvement compared to marketed products in the treatment, diagnosis or prevention of a disease. The Company regularly assesses its products for fast track potential but cannot guarantee any of its products will receive a priority review designation, or if a priority designation is received, that review or approval will be faster than conventional FDA procedures. Orphan Drug Designation The FDA may grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a rare disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States, such as IPF. If the FDA grants orphan drug designation, the generic identity of the therapeutic agent and its potential orphan use are disclosed publicly by the FDA. Orphan drug designation does not convey any advantage in, or shorten the duration of, the regulatory review and approval process. If a product that has orphan drug designation subsequently receives FDA approval for the indication for which it has such designation, the product is entitled to orphan exclusivity, which means the FDA may not approve any other applications to market the same drug for the same indication, except in very limited circumstances, for up to seven years after receiving FDA approval. When appropriate, the Company will seek orphan status for certain indications that may be treated with its products. Other Regulatory Requirements Any products manufactured or distributed under FDA approvals are subject to continuing regulation by the FDA, including record-keeping requirements and reporting of adverse experiences with the products. Drug manufacturers and their subcontractors are required to register with the FDA and, where appropriate, state agencies, and are subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and state agencies for compliance with current good manufacturing practices and regulations which impose procedural and documentation requirements upon drug developers and each third party manufacturer they utilize. The FDA closely regulates the marketing and promotion of drugs. A company can make only those claims relating to safety and efficacy that are approved by the FDA. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in adverse publicity, warning letters, corrective advertising and potential civil and criminal penalties. Physicians may prescribe legally available drugs for uses that are not described in the product’s labeling and that differ from those tested by us and approved by the FDA. Such off-label uses are common across medical specialties. Physicians may believe that such off-label uses are the best treatment for many patients in varied circumstances. The FDA does not regulate the behavior of physicians in their choice of treatments. The FDA does, however, restrict manufacturers from communicating on the subject of off-label use. European Union 28

Clinical Trials In common with the United States, the various phases of pre-clinical and clinical research in the European Union are subject to significant regulatory controls. The regulatory controls on clinical research in the European Union are now largely harmonized following the implementation of the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC, or CTD. Compliance with the national implementations of the CTD has been mandatory from May 1, 2004. However, variations in the member state review agencies continue to exist, particularly in the small number of member states that have yet to implement the CTD fully. All member states currently require regulatory and independent ethics committee approval of interventional clinical trials. European regulators and ethics committees also require the submission of adverse event reports during a study and a copy of the final study report. Marketing Authorization In the European Union, approval of new medicinal products can be obtained through the mutual recognition procedure or the centralized procedure. The mutual recognition procedure entails initial assessment by the national authorities of a single member state and subsequent review by national authorities in other member states based on the initial assessment. The centralized procedure entails submission of a single Marketing Authorization Application (“MAA”) to the European Medicines Agency (“EMEA”) leading to an approval that is valid in all European Union member states. EMEA approval is required for certain medicinal products, such as biotechnology products and certain new chemical entities, and optional, or available at the EMEA’s discretion for other new chemical entities or innovative medicinal products with novel characteristics. Under the centralized procedure, an MAA is submitted to the EMEA. Two European Union member states are appointed to conduct an initial evaluation of each MAA. These countries each prepare an assessment report, which are then used as the basis of a scientific opinion of the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (“CHMP”). If this opinion is favorable, it is sent to the European Commission which drafts a decision. After consulting with the member states, the European Commission adopts a decision and grants a marketing authorization, which is valid throughout the European Union and confers the same rights and obligations in each of the member states as a marketing authorization granted by that member state. The European Union expanded its membership by ten in May 2004. Two more countries joined on January 1, 2007. Several other European countries outside of the European Union, particularly those intending to accede to the European Union, accept European Union review and approval as a basis for their own national approval. Advertising In the European Union, the promotion of prescription medicines is subject to intense regulation and control, including a prohibition on direct-to-consumer advertising. Some jurisdictions require that all promotional materials for prescription medicines be subjected to either prior internal or regulatory review and approval. Data Exclusivity For applications filed after October 30, 2005, European Union regulators offer eight years data exclusivity during which generic drug manufacturers cannot file abridged applications. This is followed by two years market exclusivity during which generic applications may be reviewed and approved but during which generic drug manufacturers cannot launch products. Other Regulatory Requirements If a marketing authorization is granted for the Company’s products in the European Union, the holder of the marketing authorization will be subject to ongoing regulatory obligations. A holder of a marketing authorization for the Company’s products is legally obliged to fulfill a number of obligations by virtue of its status as a Marketing Authorization Holder. While the associated legal responsibility and liability cannot be delegated, the Marketing Authorization Holder can delegate the performance of related tasks to third parties, provided that this delegation is appropriately documented. A Marketing Authorization Holder can therefore either ensure that it has adequate resources, policies and procedures to fulfill its responsibilities, or can delegate the performance of some or all of its obligations to others, such as distributors or marketing partners. The obligations of a Marketing Authorization Holder include: 29

Manufacturing and Batch Release: Marketing Authorization Holders should guarantee that all manufacturing operations comply with relevant laws and regulations, applicable good manufacturing practices, with the product specifications and manufacturing conditions set out in the marketing authorization and that each batch of product is subject to appropriate release formalities;Pharmaco-vigilance: Marketing Authorization Holders are obliged to monitor the safety of products post- approval and to submit to the regulators safety reports on an expedited and periodic basis. There is an obligation to notify regulators of any other information that may affect the risk benefit ratio for the product;Advertising and Promotion: Marketing Authorization Holders remain responsible for all advertising and promotion of its products in the relevant jurisdiction, including promotional activities by other companies or individuals on their behalf. Some jurisdictions require that a Marketing Authorization Holder subject all promotional materials to either internal or prior regulatory review and approval;Medical Affairs/Scientific Service: Marketing Authorization Holders are required to have a function responsible for disseminating scientific and medical information on its medicinal products, predominantly to healthcare professionals, but also to regulators and patients;Legal Representation and Distributor Issues: Marketing Authorization Holders are responsible for regulatory actions or inactions of their distributors and agents, including the failure of distributors to provide a Marketing Authorization Holder with safety data within a timeframe that allows the Marketing Authorization Holder to fulfill its reporting obligations; andPreparation, Filing and Maintenance of the Application and Subsequent Marketing Authorization: Marketing Authorization Holders have general obligations to maintain appropriate records, to comply with the marketing authorization’s terms and conditions, to submit renewal applications and to pay all appropriate fees to the authorities. There are also general reporting obligations, such as an obligation to inform regulators of any information that may lead to the modification of the marketing authorization dossier or product labeling, and of any action to suspend, revoke or withdraw an approval or to prohibit or suspend the marketing of a product. The Company may hold marketing authorizations for products in its own name, or appoint an affiliate or a collaboration partner to hold the marketing authorization on its behalf. Any failure by a Marketing Authorization Holder to comply with these obligations may result in regulatory action against the Marketing Authorization Holder and its approvals and ultimately threaten our ability to commercialize our products. Canada In Canada, applications for a marketing authorization, known as a notice of compliance, are submitted to the Health Canada Therapeutic Products Directorate, which is the federal regulatory body that oversees the approval of pharmaceutical products for human use. Under the Food and Drugs Act (Canada) and the regulations there under, a manufacturer must present substantive scientific evidence of a product’s safety, efficacy and quality. At present, Health Canada targets 355 days for application review and approvals. Once the application is approved and the applicant receives a notice of compliance, the applicant has the right to sell the product in Canada. In addition to regulations in the United States, Europe and Canada, the Company is subject to a variety of foreign regulations governing clinical trials and commercial distribution of our future product candidates in other jurisdictions. Approvals Outside of the United States, Canada and the European Union The Company and its products will also be subject to a wide variety of foreign regulations governing development, manufacture and marketing. Whether or not FDA approval or European marketing authorization has been obtained, approval of a product by the comparable regulatory authorities of other foreign countries must still be obtained prior to manufacturing or marketing the product in those countries. The approval process varies from country to country and the time needed to secure approval may be longer or shorter than that required for FDA approval or a European marketing authorization. The Company cannot assure investors that clinical trials conducted in one country will be accepted by other countries or that approval in one country will result in approval in any other country. C. Organizational structure 30

Not Applicable. D. Property, plant and equipment. As we operate as a virtual company and we have no products approved for marketing, and no research and development facilities or manufacturing plant, we therefore have no PP&E relating to manufacturing equipment at this time. However, we do have minimal amounts of lab equipment, computer equipment, furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements relating to our head office. See the financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 included in this Form 20-F. Our head office is located at 600-535 Howe Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 2Z4 Canada. Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects A. Operating Results The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon and should be read in conjunction with our financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016, December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and the opening statement of financial position as at January 1, 2011, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties. We caution you that our businesses and financial performance are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties. See Item 3.D, “Key Information — Risk Factors”. The Company’s net income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2016, totaled ($452,288) or ($0.09) per share (FYE 2015 – $179,673 or $0.13 per share, FYE 2014 – ($693,645) or ($0.56) per share). The main contributor to this increased loss in 2016 is in increase in professional fees, office, share-based payments and transfer fees. Revenues The Company has not generated any revenue from the sale of drug therapies. The Company has not recognized any revenue since inception through December 31, 2016. The Company does not expect to receive any revenues until after the completion of the Phase 2 trial of PTL-202. The Company’s revenues will be earned through upfront payments from licenses, milestone payments included in-licenses and royalty income from licenses. The Company’s revenues will depend on out licensing the Company’s drug candidates to suitable development and commercialization partners and its partners’ abilities to successfully complete clinical trials and commercialize the Company’s drug candidates worldwide. General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative costs consist primarily of personnel related costs, non-intellectual property related legal costs, accounting costs and other professional and administrative costs associated with general corporate activities. General and administrative costs consist primarily of personnel related costs, non-intellectual property related legal costs, accounting costs and other professional and administrative costs associated with general corporate activities. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the total general and administrative costs were $452,809 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2015 during which period the total general and administrative costs were $284,863. The increased loss is largely due to an increase in insurance of $9,924, office and other of $30,509, professional fees of $221,928 and share-based payments of $63,507 in the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2015. From 2013 and beyond, as PTL-202 begins clinical development and as operations are developed to move PTL-202 and other drug candidates through the clinical trial process, general and administrative expenses will increase. Increases in personnel costs, professional fees and contract services will make up a significant portion of these planned expenditures. Intellectual Property and Intangible Assets All license and option fees paid to licensors for intellectual property licenses are accrued to intangible assets on the Company’s financial statements. In addition, any expenses for intellectual property protection including patent lawyers services fees and any filing fees with government agencies or the World Intellectual Property Organization are accrued to intangible assets. This cost will decrease in the twelve months following the date of this prospectus as no new filings are anticipated. 31

Interest Income Interest income consists of interest earned on the Company’s cash and cash equivalents. There was interest income in 2016 of $Nil (2015- $Nil, 2014 – $Nil). Profits At this time, the Company is not anticipating profit from operations. Until such time as the Company is able to realize profits from the out licensing of products under development, the Company will report an annual deficit and will rely on its ability to obtain equity and/or debt financing to fund on-going operations. For information concerning the business of the Company, please see “Item 4. Information on the Company”. Contributed Surplus, which arises from the recognition of the estimated fair value of stock options and warrants, was $563,568 for fiscal year 2016, compared with $121,939 for fiscal year 2015 and $289,766 for fiscal year 2014. The decrease in contributed surplus was due to options and warrant expired unexercised. As a result of the net and comprehensive income (loss) for the fiscal year 2016 of ($452,288) (compared with $179,673 for fiscal year 2015 and ($693,645) for fiscal year 2014), the deficit as of December 31, 2016 increased to $3,989,527 from $3,537,239 as of December 31, 2015, for an increase of $452,288. The deficit as of December 31, 2015 increased to $3,537,239 from $3,955,537 as of December 31, 2014, for a decrease of $$418,298. During the fiscal year 2016, the Company’s net cash provided by financing activities increased to $1,774,582, compared with $165,376 for fiscal year 2015 and $197,785 for fiscal year 2014. At present, the Company’s operations do not generate cash inflows and its financial success after 2012 is dependent on management’s ability to continue to obtain sufficient funding to sustain operations through the development stage and successfully bring the Company’s technologies to the point that they may be out licensed so that the Company achieves profitable operations. The research and development process can take many years and is subject to factors that are beyond the Company’s control. In order to finance the Company’s future research and development and to cover administrative and overhead expenses in the coming years the Company may raise money through equity sales. Many factors influence the Company’s ability to raise funds, including the Company’s track record, and the experience and caliber of its management. Actual funding requirements may vary from those planned due to a number of factors, including the progress of research activities. Management believes it will be able to raise equity capital as required in the long term, but recognizes there will be risks involved that may be beyond their control. Should those risks fully materialize, it may not be able to raise adequate funds to continue its operations. Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 2016

 Critical Accounting Estimates The Company’s accounting policies are presented in Note 3 of the December 31, 2012 audited financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) requires management to select accounting policies and make estimates. Such estimates may have a significant impact on the financial statements. Actual amounts could differ materially from the estimates used and, accordingly, affect the results of the operations. These include: the assumptions used for the determinations of the timing of future income tax events;the carrying values of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets such as technology licenses and patents, derivative liability, convertible note, and the valuation of stock-based compensation expense. Changes in Accounting Policies including Initial Adoption The Company has adopted IFRS, as of January 1, 2010, as discussed in Note 2(a) of the December 31, 2016 Financial Statements. Financial Instruments The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, amounts due to shareholders, shareholder demand loan, the liability portion of the convertible note and the derivative liability. Cash 33


---

and cash equivalents are classified as financial assets. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from financial instruments. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their carrying values due to their short-term maturity or capacity for prompt liquidation. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, amounts due to shareholders, shareholder demand loan, the liability portion of the convertible note and the derivative liability are classified as financial liabilities. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, shareholder demand loan, balances due to shareholder and the liability portion of the convertible note are recognized initially at fair value, and subsequently stated at amortized cost. The derivative financial liability is initially measured at fair value, with subsequent measurement to fair value at the end of each reporting period. Foreign exchange risk is the risk arising from changes in foreign currency fluctuations. The Company does not use any derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency rates. It is the opinion of management that the foreign exchange risk to which the Company is exposed is minimal. Limitations of Controls and Procedures The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believe that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, they cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by unauthorized override of the control. The design of any systems of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in a cost effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. B. Liquidity and Capital Resources. Overview The Company is a development stage company and therefore has no regular cash inflows. Selected financial data pertaining to liquidity and capital resources for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 is presented below.

The vesting of options granted under the stock option plan will be determined by the Board of Directors at the time of the grant. Options granted under the stock option plan may be exercisable over a maximum period of 5 years. They will generally have a term of 5 years and vest over four years, 25% on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant, provided the optionee is in continuous service to the Company. The Board of Directors may amend the terms of the stock option plan from time to time, to the extent permitted by the stock option plan and any rules and policies of any stock exchange on which the Common Shares are listed, or terminate it at any time. If the Company accepts any offer to amalgamate, merge or consolidate with any other company (other than a wholly-owned subsidiary) or if holders of greater than 50% of the Company’s Common Shares accept an offer made to all or substantially all of the holders of the Company’s Common Shares to purchase in excess of 50% of our current issued and outstanding Common Shares, any then-unvested options will automatically vest in full. 38

approving the transfer of shares of our company, including the registering of such shares in our share register. Qualification There is no shareholding qualification for directors. Board Committees Our Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee and a Compensation Committee. AUDIT COMMITTEE The Audit Committee has various responsibilities as set forth in Multilateral Instrument 52-110 (“MI 52-110”). The Audit Committee oversees the accounting and financial reporting practices and procedures of the Company and the audits of the Company’s financial statements. The principal responsibilities of the Audit Committee include: (i) overseeing the quality, integrity and appropriateness of the internal controls and accounting procedures of the Company, including reviewing the Company’s procedures for internal control with the Company’s auditors and Chief Financial Officer; (ii) reviewing and assessing the quality and integrity of the Company’s internal and external reporting processes, its annual and quarterly financial statements and related management discussion and analysis, and all other material continuous disclosure documents; (iii) establishing separate reviews with management and external auditors of significant changes in procedures or financial and accounting practices, difficulties encountered during auditing, and significant judgments made in management's preparation of financial statements; (iv) monitoring compliance with legal and regulatory requirements related to financial reporting; (v) reviewing and pre-approving the engagement of the auditor of the Company and independent audit fees; and (vi) assessing the Company’s accounting policies, and considering, approving, and monitoring significant changes in accounting principles and practices recommended by management and the auditor. Audit Committee Charter There is no change in audit committee charter for the year. Composition of the Audit Committee As noted above, the members of the Audit Committee are Brian Gusko, Nick Horsley, and Christine Mah, all of whom are considered independent pursuant to NI 52-110, except Mr. Unwin who is also an officer of the Company. All members of the Audit Committee are considered to be financially literate. A member of the Audit Committee is independentif the member has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company. A material relationship means a relationship which could, in the view of the Board, reasonably interfere with the exercise of a member’s independent judgment. A member of the Audit Committee is considered financially literateif he or she has the ability to read and understand a set of financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Company. Relevant Education and Experience Please see above for the biographies of Brian Gusko, Nick Horsley, and Christine Mah. Audit Committee Oversight The Audit Committee has not made any recommendations to the Board to nominate or compensate any external auditor. Reliance of Certain Exemptions The Company’s auditors have not provided any material non-audit services. The Company is relying on the exemptions provided for in Section 6.1 of NI 52-110 in respect of the composition of its Audit Committee and in respect of certain of its reporting obligations under NI 52-110. 40


---

Pre-Approval Policies on Certain Exemptions The Audit Committee has not adopted specific policies and procedures for the engagement of non-audit services. Compensation Committee Our Compensation Committee consists of Mr. Beniston, Mr. Wallis and Mr. Unwin. Mr. Beniston is the chairman of our Compensation Committee. Our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Wallis and Mr. Beniston are “independent directors” within the meaning of NYSE Manual Section 303A. Our Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things: reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our co-chief executive officers, evaluating the performance of our co-chief executive officers in light of those goals and objectives, and setting the compensation level of our co-chief executive officers based on this evaluation;reviewing and making recommendations to our Board of Directors regarding our compensation policies and forms of compensation provided to our directors and officers;reviewing and making recommendations to our co-chief executive regarding the compensation level, share- based compensation and bonuses for our officers other than our co-chief executive officers;reviewing and determining cash and share-based compensation for our directors;administering our equity incentive plans in accordance with the terms thereof; andsuch other matters that are specifically delegated to the Compensation Committee by our Board of Directors from time to time. Corporate Governance General Effective June 30, 2005, NI 58-101 and NP 58-201 were adopted in each of the provinces and territories of Canada. NI 58-101 requires companies to disclose the corporate governance practices that they have adopted. NP 58-201 provides guidance on corporate governance practices. The Board believes that good corporate governance improves corporate performances and benefits all shareholders. The Canadian Securities Administrators (“CSA”) have adopted NP 58-201, which provides non-prescriptive guidelines on corporate governance practices for reporting companies such as the Company. In addition, the CSA have implemented NI 58-101, which prescribes certain disclosure by the Company of its corporate governance practices. This section sets out the Company’s approach to corporate governance and addresses the Company’s compliance with NI 58-101. Composition of the Board The Board of Directors facilitates its exercise of independent supervision over management by ensuring that the Board is composed of a majority of independent directors. Directors are considered to be independent if they have no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company. A “material relationship” is a relationship which could, in the view of the Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director’s independent judgment. The Board has four directors, three of which are considered to be independent. Mr. Gusko, and Ms. Mah, are considered to be independent directors for the purposes of NI 58-101, and Mr. Unwin is not considered to be independent as he is also a senior officer of the Company. The mandate of the Board is to act in the best interests of the Company and to supervise management. The Board is responsible for approving long-term strategic plans and annual operating budgets recommended by management. Board consideration and approval is also required for material contracts and business transactions, and all debt and equity financing transactions. Any responsibility which is not delegated to management or to the committees of the Board remains with the Board. The Board meets on a regular basis consistent with the state of the Company’s affairs and also from time to time as deemed necessary to enable it to fulfill its responsibilities. The Chairman of the Board is Mr. Brian Gusko, who is an independent director. Directorship None of the directors of the Company is also a director of other reporting companies (or equivalent) in a Canadian or foreign jurisdiction as of the date of this listing statement. 41

Position Descriptions The Board has not developed written position descriptions for the chair or the chair of any board committees or for the CEO. Given the size of the Company’s infrastructure and the existence of only a small number of officers, the Board does not feel that it is necessary at this time to formalize position descriptions in order to delineate their respective responsibilities. Meetings of Independent Directors The Board has appointed two committees, the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee. The Audit committee is comprised of a majority of independent directors and meets regularly. Additional information concerning the committee is found in ‘Audit Committee’ above and in the disclosure below in this ‘Corporate Governance’ section. The Compensation Committee is comprised of two independent directors plus the CEO. This committee meets as required. The members of the Compensation Committee are Mr. Gusko, Mr. Horsley and Ms. Mah. Orientation and Continuing Education When new directors are appointed, they receive orientation, commensurate with their previous experience, on the Company’s technologies, product candidates, business and industry and on the responsibilities of directors. New directors also receive historical public information about the Company and the mandates of the committees of the Board. Board meetings may also include presentations by the Company’s management and employees to give the directors additional insight into the Company’s business. In addition, new directors are encouraged to visit and meet with management on a regular basis and to pursue continuing education opportunities where appropriate. Ethical Business Conduct The Board has approved a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”, filed herewith as Exhibit 11.1) to be followed by the Company’s directors, officers, employees and principal consultants and those of its subsidiaries. The Code is also to be followed, where appropriate, by the Company’s agents and representatives, including consultants where specifically required. The purpose of the Code is to, among other things, promote honest and ethical conduct, avoid conflicts of interest, protect confidential or proprietary information and comply with the applicable government laws and securities rules and regulations. In the event that a director, officer or employee departs from the Code, the Company is authorized to file a material change report. The board does not actively monitor compliance with the Code, but requires prompt notification of apparent or actual breaches so that it may investigate and take action. The Code has been circulated to all employees. When proposed transactions or agreements in which directors or officers may have an interest, material or not, are presented to the Board, such interest is disclosed and the persons who have such an interest are excluded from all discussion on the matter and are not allowed to vote on the proposal. Nomination of Directors The Company does not have a formal process or committee for proposing new nominees for election to the Board of Directors. The nominees are generally the result of recruitment efforts by the Board members, including both formal and informal discussions among Board members. Compensation The Board has established a Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is responsible for reviewing the adequacy and form of compensation paid to the Company’s executives and key employees, and ensuring that such compensation realistically reflects the responsibilities and risks of such positions. In fulfilling its responsibilities, the Board evaluates the performance of the chief executive officer and other senior management in light of corporate goals and objectives, and makes recommendations with respect to compensation levels based on such evaluations. Other Board Committees Other than the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee described in this Form 20-F, the Board has no other committees. Assessments 42


---

The Board regularly assesses its own effectiveness and the effectiveness and contribution of each Board committee member and Director. Interested Transactions A director may vote with respect to any contract or transaction in which he or she is interested, provided that the nature of the interest of any director in such contract or transaction is disclosed by him or her at or prior to its consideration and any vote in that matter. D. Employees As of December 31, 2016 the Company had the following number of employees and contractors: Location

   Full Time Employees

   ContractorsVancouver, British Columbia

   2
 The Company utilizes consultants and contractors to carry on many of its activities and, in particular, to supervise and conduct pre-clinical scientific experiments, assay development and validation. In addition, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer is a contractor not a full time employee. Other functions the Company has decided to outsource include assay development, formulation, clinical trials and manufacturing. It is currently more cost-effective to outsource these functions due to the Company’s sporadic requirements. As the Company expands its activities, it is probable that it will hire additional employees. In addition, contractors and employees may move between locations from time to time as conditions and business opportunities warrant. E. Share Ownership. As of December 31, 2016, the Company has 6,735,885 shares of Common stock outstanding before share consolidation: The following table sets forth, as of January 20, 2016: (a) the names of each beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of our Common Stock known to us, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each such person, and the percent of our Common Stock so owned before and after the Share Exchange; and (b) the names of each director, executive officer and significant employee, the number of shares our Common Stock beneficially owned, and the percentage of our Common Stock so owned, by each such person, and by all of our directors and executive officers as a group. Each person has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of our Common Stock, except as otherwise indicated.

 B. Memorandum and Articles of Association The Company’s Articles of Incorporation are filed herewith as Exhibit 1.1 C. Material Contracts Except as otherwise disclosed in this Form 20-F, the Company has no other material contracts. Escrow Agreements The Company is classified as an “emerging issuer” under National Policy 46-201. An “emerging issuer” is one that does not meet the “established issuer” criteria based on the Issuer being an “emerging issuer”, the Escrowed Securities (as hereinafter defined) will be subject to a three year escrow. If the Company achieves “established issuer” status during the term of the 46-201 Escrow Agreement (as hereinafter defined), it will ‘graduate’, resulting in a catch-up release and an accelerated release of any securities remaining in escrow under the 18 month schedule applicable to established issuers as if the Company had originally been classified as an established issuer. The Principals of the Company and holders of Shares having an issuance price of less than $0.02 per share have entered into an escrow agreement dated August 30, 2011 (the “46-201 Escrow Agreement”) among the Company, the Transfer Agent, the Principals of the Company and holders of shares having an issuance price of less than $0.02 per share (collectively with the Principals, the “Escrow Holders”), as required pursuant to the policies of the CNSX. The Escrow Holders will agree to deposit in escrow their shares (the “Escrowed Securities”) with the Transfer Agent. Under the 46-201 Escrow Agreement, 10% of the Escrowed Securities will be released from escrow on the Listing Date (the “Initial Release”) and an additional 15% will be released on the dates which are 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, 30 months and 36 months following the Initial Release. Pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Escrowed Securities may not be transferred or otherwise dealt with during the term of the 46-201 Escrow Agreement unless the transfers or dealings within escrow are: (1)

   transfers to continuing or, upon their appointment, incoming directors and senior officers of the Company or of a material operating subsidiary, with approval of the Issuer’s Board;(2)

   transfers to an RRSP or similar trustee plan provided that the only beneficiaries are the transferor or the transferor’s spouse, children or parents;(3)

   transfers upon bankruptcy to the trustee in bankruptcy; and 47

   pledges to a financial institution as collateral for a bona fideloan, provided that upon a realization the securities remain subject to escrow. Tenders of Escrowed Securities to a take-over bid are permitted provided that, if the tenderer is a Principal of the successor corporation upon completion of the take-over bid, securities received in exchange for tendered Escrow securities are substitute in escrow on the basis of the successor corporation’s escrow classification. Where the Common Shares of the Issuer which are required to be held in escrow are held by a non-individual (a “holding company”), each holding company pursuant to the 46-201 Escrow Agreement, has agreed, or will agree, not to carry out any transactions during the currency of the 46-201 Escrow Agreement which would result in a change of control of the holding company, without the consent of the Exchange. Any holding company must sign an undertaking to the Exchange that, to the extent reasonably possible, it will not permit or authorize any issuance of securities or transfer of securities could reasonably result in a change of control of the holding company. In addition, the Exchange may require an undertaking from any control person of the holding company not to transfer the shares of that company. D. Exchange Controls There are no laws, decrees or regulations in Canada relating to restrictions on the export or import of capital, or affecting the remittance of interest, dividends or other payments to non-resident holders of our shares of common stock. E. Taxation Canada Canadian Federal Income Tax Information for United States Residents The following is a discussion of material Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to holders of our common shares who, for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the regulations thereunder, or the Canadian Tax Act: deal at arm’s length and are not affiliated with us;hold such shares as capital property;do not use or hold (and will not use or hold) and are not deemed to use or hold our common shares, in or in the course of carrying on business in Canada;have not been at any time residents of Canada; andare, at all relevant times, residents of the United States, or U.S. Residents, under the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (1980), or the Convention. TAX MATTERS ARE VERY COMPLICATED AND THE CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF OUR COMMON SHARES WILL DEPEND UPON THE STOCKHOLDER’S PARTICULAR SITUATION. THE SUMMARY OF MATERIAL CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES SET FORTH BELOW IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE ONLY A GENERAL SUMMARY AND IS NOT INTENDED TO BE A COMPLETE ANALYSIS OR DESCRIPTION OF ALL POTENTIAL CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES. THIS DISCUSSION DOES NOT INCLUDE A DESCRIPTION OF THE TAX LAWS OF ANY PROVINCE OR TERRITORY WITHIN CANADA. ACCORDINGLY, HOLDERS AND PROSPECTIVE HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON SHARES ARE ENCOURAGED TO CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISERS ABOUT THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM HAVING REGARD TO THEIR OWN PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING ANY CONSEQUENCES OF PURCHASING, OWNING OR DISPOSING OF OUR COMMON SHARES ARISING UNDER CANADIAN FEDERAL, CANADIAN PROVINCIAL OR TERRITORIAL, U.S. FEDERAL, U.S. STATE OR LOCAL TAX LAWS OR TAX LAWS OF JURISDICTIONS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES OR CANADA. This summary is based on the current provisions of the Canadian Income Tax Act, proposed amendments to the Canadian Income Tax Act publicly announced by the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the “Proposed Amendments”), and the provisions of the Convention as in effect on the date hereof. No assurance can be given that the Proposed Amendments will be entered into law in the manner proposed, or at all. No advance income tax ruling has been requested or obtained from the Canada Revenue Agency to confirm the tax consequences of any of the transactions described herein. 48

This summary is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax consequences for U.S. Residents, and other than the Proposed Amendments, does not take into account or anticipate any changes in law, whether by legislative, administrative, governmental or judicial decision or action, nor does it take into account Canadian provincial, U.S. or foreign tax considerations which may differ significantly from those discussed herein. No assurances can be given that subsequent changes in law or administrative policy will not affect or modify the opinions expressed herein. A U.S. Resident will not be subject to tax under the Canadian Tax Act in respect of any capital gain on a disposition of our common shares unless such shares constitute “taxable Canadian property”, as defined in the Canadian Tax Act, of the U.S. Resident and the U.S. Resident is not eligible for relief pursuant to the Convention. Our common shares will not constitute “taxable Canadian property” if, at any time during the 60-month period immediately preceding the disposition of the common shares, the U.S. Resident, persons with whom the U.S. Resident did not deal at arm’s length, or the U.S. Resident together with all such persons, did not own 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of shares of our capital stock. In addition, the Convention generally will exempt a U.S. Resident who would otherwise be liable to pay Canadian income tax in respect of any capital gain realized by the U.S. Resident on the disposition of our common shares, from such liability provided that the value of our common shares is not derived principally from real property situated in Canada, Canadian Resource Property and Canadian Timber Resource Property. However, where the US resident and purchaser are related the purchaser must generally report the transaction to the Canada Revenue Agency within 30 days of the transaction date to benefit from the Convention. The Convention may not be available to a U.S. Resident that is a U.S. LLC which is not subject to tax in the U.S. Amounts in respect of our common shares paid or credited or deemed to be paid or credited as, on account or in lieu of payment of, or in satisfaction of, dividends to a U.S. Resident will generally be subject to Canadian non-resident withholding tax at the rate of 25%. Currently, under the Convention the rate of Canadian non-resident withholding tax will generally be reduced to: 5% of the gross amount of dividends if the beneficial owner is a company that is resident in the U.S. and that owns at least 10% of our voting shares; or15% of the gross amount of dividends if the beneficial owner is some other resident of the U.S. Generally, the Convention does not apply to US resident LLC’s that are fiscally transparent. However, the Convention may apply to afford withholding tax rates on dividends attributed to a US resident member of a US resident fiscally transparent LLC to the extent of the dividend consider to have been received by that member. United States Federal Income Tax Information for United States Holders. The following is a general discussion of material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our common shares by U.S. Holders (as defined below). This discussion is based on the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof, all as in effect at the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. This discussion only addresses the tax consequences for U.S. Holders that will hold their common shares as a “capital asset” and does not address U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to particular U.S. Holders in light of their individual circumstances or U.S. Holders that are subject to special treatment under certain U.S. federal income tax laws, such as: tax-exempt organizations and pension plans;persons subject to alternative minimum tax;banks and other financial institutions;insurance companies;partnerships and other pass-through entities (as determined for United States federal income tax purposes);broker-dealers;persons who hold their common shares as a hedge or as part of a straddle, constructive sale, conversion transaction, and other risk management transaction; andpersons who acquired their common shares through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation. As used herein, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of our common shares that is: an individual citizen or resident of the United States;a corporation, a partnership or entity treated as a corporation or partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, that is created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof; 49

an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; anda trust if both: a United States court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust; and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust. TAX MATTERS ARE VERY COMPLICATED AND THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF OUR COMMON SHARES WILL DEPEND UPON THE STOCKHOLDER’S PARTICULAR SITUATION. THE SUMMARY OF MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES SET FORTH BELOW IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE ONLY A GENERAL SUMMARY AND IS NOT INTENDED TO BE A COMPLETE ANALYSIS OR DESCRIPTION OF ALL POTENTIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES. NOTE THAT THIS DISCUSSION DOES NOT INCLUDE A DESCRIPTION OF THE TAX LAWS OF ANY STATE OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT WITHIN THE UNITED STATES. ACCORDINGLY, HOLDERS AND PROSPECTIVE HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON SHARES ARE ENCOURAGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS ABOUT THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF OUR COMMON SHARES. Ownership of Shares The gross amount of any distribution received by a U.S. Holder with respect to our common shares generally will be included in the U.S. Holder’s gross income as a dividend to the extent attributable to our current and accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). To the extent a distribution received by a U.S. Holder is not a dividend because it exceeds the U.S. Holder’s pro rata share of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, it will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital and reduce (but not below zero) the adjusted tax basis of the U.S. Holder’s shares. To the extent the distribution exceeds the adjusted tax basis of the U.S. Holder’s shares, the remainder will be taxed as capital gain (the taxation of capital gain is discussed under the heading “Sale of Shares” below). For taxable years beginning before January 1, 2009, dividends received by non-corporate U.S. Holders from a qualified foreign corporation are taxed at the same preferential rates that apply to long-term capital gains. A foreign corporation is a “qualified foreign corporation” if it is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States (the income tax treaty between Canada and the United States is such a treaty) or the shares with respect to which such dividend is paid is readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States (such as the Nasdaq Capital Market). Notwithstanding satisfaction of one or both of these conditions, a foreign corporation is not a qualified foreign corporation if it is a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for the taxable year of the corporation in which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year. (Whether a foreign corporation is a PFIC is discussed below under the heading “Passive Foreign Investment Companies”). A foreign corporation that is a PFIC for any taxable year within a U.S. person’s holding period generally is treated as a PFIC for all subsequent years in the U.S. person’s holding period. Although we have not been, are not now, and do not expect to be a PFIC, and we don’t expect to pay dividends, you should be aware of the following matters in the event that we do become a PFIC and do pay dividends. If we were to become a PFIC, then U.S. Holders who acquire our common shares may be treated as holding shares of a PFIC throughout their holding period for the purpose of determining whether dividends received from us are dividends from a qualified foreign corporation. As a consequence, dividends received by U.S. Holders may not be eligible for taxation at the preferential rates applicable to long-term capital gains. If a distribution is paid in Canadian dollars, the U.S. dollar value of such distribution on the date of receipt is used to determine the amount of the distribution received by a U.S. Holder. A U.S. Holder who continues to hold such Canadian dollars after the date on which they are received, may recognize gain or loss upon their disposition due to exchange rate fluctuations. Generally such gains and losses will be ordinary income or loss from U.S. sources. U.S. Holders may deduct Canadian tax withheld from distributions they receive for the purpose of computing their U.S. federal taxable income (or alternatively a credit may be claimed against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability as discussed below under the heading “Foreign Tax Credit”). Corporate U.S. Holders generally will not be allowed a dividend received deduction with respect to dividends they receive from us. Foreign Tax Credit Generally, the dividend portion of a distribution received by a U.S. Holder will be treated as income in the passive income category for foreign tax credit purposes. Subject to a number of limitations, a U.S. Holder may elect to claim a credit against its U.S. federal income tax liability (in lieu of a deduction) for Canadian withholding tax deducted from its distributions. The 50

credit may be claimed only against U.S. federal income tax attributable to a U.S. Holder’s passive income that is from foreign sources. If we were to become a qualified foreign corporation with respect to a non-corporate U.S. Holder, dividends received by such U.S. Holder will qualify for taxation at the same preferential rates that apply to long-term capital gains. In such case, the dividend amount that would otherwise be from foreign sources is reduced by multiplying the dividend amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the U.S. Holder’s preferential capital gains tax rate and the denominator of which is the U.S. Holder’s ordinary income tax rate. The effect is to reduce the dividend amount from foreign sources, thereby reducing the U.S. federal income tax attributable to foreign source income against which the credit may be claimed. Canadian withholding taxes that cannot be claimed as a credit in the year paid may be carried back to the preceding year and then forward 10 years and claimed as a credit in those years, subject to the same limitations referred to above. The rules relating to the determination of the foreign tax credit are very complex. U.S. Holders and prospective U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors to determine whether and to what extent they would be entitled to claim a foreign tax credit. Sale of Shares Subject to the discussion of the “passive foreign investment company” rules below, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss upon the sale of our shares equal to the difference between: (a) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received; and (b) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such shares. This gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss from U.S. sources, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder held its shares for more than 12 months. Generally, the net long-term capital gain of a non-corporate U.S. Holder from the sale of shares is subject to taxation at a top marginal rate of 15%. A Capital gain that is not long-term capital gain is taxed at ordinary income rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations. Passive Foreign Investment Companies We will be a PFIC if, in any taxable year either: (a) 75% or more of our gross income consists of passive income; or (b) 50% or more of the value of our assets is attributable to assets that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income. Subject to certain limited exceptions, if we meet the gross income test or the asset test for a particular taxable year, our shares held by a U.S. Holder in that year will be treated as shares of a PFIC for that year and all subsequent years in the U.S. Holder’s holding period, even if we fail to meet either test in a subsequent year. If we were a PFIC in the future, gain realized by a U.S. Holder from the sale of PFIC Shares and certain dividends received on such shares would be subject to tax under the excess distribution regime, unless the U.S. Holder made one of the elections discussed below. Under the excess distribution regime, federal income tax on a U.S. Holder’s gain from the sale of PFIC Shares would be calculated by allocating the gain ratably to each day the U.S. Holder held its shares. Gain allocated to years preceding the first year in which we were a PFIC in the U.S. Holder’s holding period, if any, and gain allocated to the year of disposition would be treated as gain arising in the year of disposition and taxed as ordinary income. Gain allocated to all other years would be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for each of those years. Interest for the late payment of tax would be calculated and added to the tax due for each of the PFIC Years, as if the tax was due and payable with the tax return filed for that year. A distribution that exceeds 125% of the average distributions received on PFIC Shares by a U.S. Holder during the 3 preceding taxable years (or, if shorter, the portion of the U.S. Holder’s holding period before the taxable year) would be taxed in a similar manner. A U.S. Holder may avoid taxation under the excess distribution regime by making a qualified electing fund (“QEF”) election. For each year that we would meet the PFIC gross income test or asset test, an electing U.S. Holder would be required to include in gross income, its pro rata share of our net ordinary income and net capital gains, if any. The U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our shares would be increased by the amount of such income inclusions. An actual distribution to the U.S. Holder out of such income generally would not be treated as a dividend and would decrease the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our shares. Gain realized from the sale of our shares covered by a QEF election would be taxed as a capital gain. U.S. Holders will be eligible to make QEF elections, only if we agree to provide to the U.S. Holders, which we do, the information they will need to comply with the QEF rules. Generally, a QEF election should be made by the due date of the U.S. Holder’s tax return for the first taxable year in which the U.S. Holder held our shares that includes the close of our taxable year for which we met the PFIC gross income test or asset test. A QEF election is made on IRS Form 8621. A U.S. Holder may also avoid taxation under the excess distribution regime by timely making a mark-to-market election. An electing U.S. Holder would include in gross income the increase in the value of its PFIC Shares during each of its taxable years and deduct from gross income the decrease in the value of its PFIC Shares during each of its taxable years. Amounts 51


---

included in gross income or deducted from gross income by an electing U.S. Holder are treated as ordinary income and ordinary deductions from U.S. sources. Deductions for any year are limited to the amount by which the income inclusions of prior years’ exceed the income deductions of prior years. Gain from the sale of PFIC Shares covered by an election is treated as ordinary income from U.S. sources while a loss is treated as an ordinary deduction from U.S. sources only to the extent of prior income inclusions. Losses in excess of such prior income inclusions are treated as capital losses from U.S. sources. A mark-to-market election is timely if it is made by the due date of the U.S. Holder’s tax return for the first taxable year in which the U.S. Holder held our shares that includes the close of our taxable year for which we met the PFIC gross income test or asset test. A mark-to-market election is also made on IRS Form 8621. As noted above, a PFIC is not a qualified foreign corporation and hence dividends received from a PFIC are not eligible for taxation at preferential long-term capital gain tax rates. Similarly, ordinary income included in the gross income of a U.S. Holder who has made a QEF election or a market-to-market election, and dividends received from corporations subject to such election, are not eligible for taxation at preferential long-term capital gain rates. The PFIC rules are extremely complex and could, if they apply, have significant, adverse effects on the taxation of dividends received and gains realized by a U.S. Holder. Accordingly, prospective U.S. Holders are strongly urged to consult their tax adviser concerning the potential application of these rules to their particular circumstances. Controlled Foreign Corporation Special rules apply to certain U.S. Holders that own stock in a foreign corporation that is classified as a “controlled foreign corporation” (“CFC”). We do not expect to be classified as a CFC. However, future ownership changes could cause us to become a CFC. Prospective U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisor concerning the potential application of the CFC rules to their particular circumstances. Information Reporting and Backup Withholding United States information reporting and backup withholding requirements may apply with respect to distributions to U.S. Holders, or the payment of proceeds from the sale of shares, unless the U.S. Holder: (a) is an exempt recipient (including a corporation); (b) complies with certain requirements, including applicable certification requirements; or (c) is described in certain other categories of persons. The backup withholding tax rate is currently 28%. Any amounts withheld from a payment to a U.S. Holder under the backup withholding rules may be credited against any U.S. federal income tax liability of the U.S. Holder and may entitle the U.S. Holder to a refund.
