(b) Accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the application of policies and the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and further periods if the review affects both current and future periods.

Critical accounting estimates are estimates and assumptions made by management that may result in material adjustments to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. Critical estimates used include, among others, collectibility of trade and other receivables, valuation of short-term investments, inventories, intangible assets and goodwill, and measurement of share-based compensation.

	Critical accounting judgments are accounting policies that have been identified as being complex or involving subjective judgments or assessments. Critical accounting judgments include the estimated useful lives of intangible assets.
(c)	Financial instruments
	The Company classifies all financial instruments as either fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), available-for-sale (“AFS”), held-to-maturity (“HTM”), loans and receivables or other financial liabilities. Financial instruments are required to be measured at fair value on initial recognition. Measurement in subsequent periods depends on the financial instruments’ classification. Financial instruments at FVTPL are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in the results of operations. Available-for-sale instruments are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income. Instruments held-to-maturity, loans and receivables and other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost.
	The Company has classified its financial instruments as follows:

Cash	Loans and receivables
Short term investments	Fair value through profit or loss
Trade and other receivables	Loans and receivables
Loans receivable	Loans and receivables
Bank indebtedness	Other financial liability
Trade and other payables	Other financial liability
Derivative liabilities	Fair value through profit or loss
Long term debt	Other financial liability

At each financial reporting period, the Company’s management estimates the fair value of investments based on the criteria below and reflects such valuations in the consolidated financial statements.

(i) Publicly-traded investments:

Securities which are traded on a recognized securities exchange and for which no sales restrictions apply are recorded at fair values based on quoted market prices at the consolidated balance sheet dates or the closing price on the last day the security traded if there were no trades at the consolidated balance sheet dates.

Securities which are traded on a recognized securities exchange but which are escrowed or otherwise restricted as to sale or transfer may be recorded at amounts discounted from market value. In determining whether a discount is appropriate for such investments, the Company considers the nature and length of the restriction, the business risk of the investee company, its stage of development, market potential, relative trading volume and price volatility and any other factors that may be relevant to the ongoing and realizable value of the investments.

(ii) Privately-held investments:

Securities in privately-held companies designated as FVTPL or AFS are recorded at fair value based on objective evidence including recent arm’s length transactions between knowledgeable, willing parties. Such evidence might include significant subsequent equity financing by an unrelated professional investor, discounted cash flow analysis, operational results, forecasts and other developments since acquisition.

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011

(d)	Inventories
	Inventories are comprised of raw materials, work in progress, and finished goods of pharmaceutical product and are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first-in first-out basis. The Company establishes inventory reserves for estimated obsolete or unsaleable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated realizable value based upon assumptions about future and market conditions.
(e)	Trade and other receivables
	Trade and other receivables are stated at their principal balances and are non-interest bearing and unsecured. Management conducts a periodic review of the collectability of trade receivables. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts if any uncertainty exists with respect to the recoverability of certain amounts based on historical experience or economic climate.
(f)	Intangible assets
	Intangible assets include all costs incurred to acquire licensing and distribution agreements and trademarks. Intangible assets are recorded at cost and amortized over their useful life of 2 to 15 years. Management has estimated the useful life based on industry data of similar products and patents.
	The Company conducts an annual assessment of the residual balances, useful lives and depreciation methods being used for intangible assets and any changes arising from the assessment are applied by the Company prospectively.
(g)	Goodwill
	Goodwill represents the price paid for acquisitions in excess of the fair market value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is carried at cost, less impairment losses if any. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the end of each fiscal year. Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit (“CGU”) to which goodwill has been allocated. The calculation of value in use requires the Company to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the CGU and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value. If the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than its carrying amount, an impairment is recorded.
(h)	Impairment of assets
	At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its property and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill to determine whether there is an indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. In addition, goodwill is tested annually for impairment.
	Recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell, and value-in-use. In assessing value-in-use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assignments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011

	If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in the statement of operations.
	Other than goodwill, where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Goodwill impairment losses are not reversed.
(i)	Provisions
	Provisions are recorded when a present legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of past events where it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.
	The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows. When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.
(j)	Income taxes
	Provision for income taxes consists of current and deferred tax expense and is recognized in operations. Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at period end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years.
	Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and their corresponding tax values, using the enacted or substantively enacted, as applicable, income tax rates at each balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets also result from unused losses and other deductions carried forward. An assessment of the probability that a deferred tax asset will be recovered is made prior to any deferred tax asset being recognized. The valuation of deferred tax assets is reviewed on a regular basis and adjusted, if necessary, to reflect the estimated realizable amount.
(k)	Foreign currency translation
	The Company’s reporting currency and the functional currency of all of its operations is the Canadian dollar. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate at the date of the transaction. At each balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the period-end foreign exchange rate. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when acquired. All gains and losses on translation of these foreign currency transactions are included in the statement of operations.

	Revenue from product sales, including shipments to distributors, is recognized when the product is delivered to the Company’s customers, provided the Company has not retained any significant risks of ownership or future obligations with respect to the product, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Revenue from product sales is recognized net of sales discounts, credits, returns, rebates and allowances.
	The Company’s return policy is limited to damaged or expired product. The return allowance is determined based on analysis of the historical rate of returns, which is applied directly against sales.
(m)	Share-based compensation
	From time to time, the Company grants options to directors, officers, employees and non- employees to purchase common shares. The Company accounts for its stock options using the fair-value method. Share-based payment, equal to the fair value of the options on the date of grant, are recognized in operations, with an offsetting credit to equity reserves, for stock options granted to employees, officers and directors over the period during which the related options vest. Share-based payments are recognized in operations, with an offsetting credit to equity reserves, for options granted to non-employees based on the fair value of the services received. Consideration paid upon exercise of stock options, along with the applicable amount of equity reserves, is credited to share capital.
(n)	Comprehensive income or loss
	Comprehensive income or loss is the change in net assets arising from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources, and comprises net income or loss and other comprehensive income or loss. Financial assets that are classified as available for sale will have revaluation gains and losses included in other comprehensive income or loss until the asset is removed from the balance sheet.
(o)	Basic and diluted net earnings per share
	Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The treasury stock method is used to compute the dilutive effect of equity instruments. Stock options, share purchase warrants, and other equity instruments are dilutive when the average market price of the common shares during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options, warrants and other equity instruments. The diluted loss per share is equal to the basic loss per share if the effects of the outstanding options and warrants are anti-dilutive.
(p)	Related parties
	Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

3.	Business combinations
	Amalgamation
	On December 19, 2011, the Company and Merus Labs International Inc. (“Old Merus”) amalgamated and formed a new entity under the name Merus Labs International Inc. The securities of the two companies that were issued and outstanding immediately before the Amalgamation were converted into securities of the Company as follows:
	(a) the common shares of Old Merus were exchanged for common shares of the Company on the basis of one common share of the Company for every four common share of Old Merus. Stock options and share purchase warrants were exchanged on the same basis. The exercise price and all other terms and conditions for all options and warrants issued by the Company remained the same as the original Old Merus options and warrants.
	(b) the issued and outstanding common shares held by shareholders before the Amalgamation were exchanged for common shares of the Company on the basis of one common share of the Company for every one share previously held. Stock options were exchanged at the same ratio. All terms and conditions of the stock options and share purchase warrants remain unchanged.
	The Amalgamation resulted in the Company issuing common shares, stock options, and share purchase warrants to Old Merus shareholders, option holders, and warrant holders as follows:

	Old Merus	Issued
	Outstanding	by the
	Pre-Amalgamation	Company
Common shares	47,003,784	11,750,946
Stock options	910,000	227,500
Share purchase warrants	9,614,230	2,403,557

The Amalgamation has been accounted for using the acquisition method, with the Company as the acquirer, whereby all the Old Merus assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at fair value. The purchase price allocation is summarized as follows:

Purchase price consideration
Common shares issued	$	23,501,892
Stock options issued		343,038
Share purchase warrants issued		1,932,384

On March 7, 2012, the Company entered into a sales and promotion agreement for FACTIVE® with Vansen Pharma Inc. (“Vansen”) to market the product in the United States. As part of this arrangement, the Company agreed to provide Vansen with a short-term loan in the amount of US$1,000,000 for working capital purposes. The loan is due within twelve months with a lump sum payment of US$333,333 due July 1, 2012 and monthly payments of $83,333 thereafter. The loan is secured by the inventory, intellectual property and equity of Vansen under a general security agreement. The Company has the legal right to offset any payments owing to Vansen by any amount of the short-term loan still due and owing to the Company.

In May 2011, the Company advanced a loan in the principal amount of $1,850,000 to Old Merus, a then unrelated entity. The loan bore interest at 12% per annum, compounded monthly, with payments of $123,333 plus accrued interest due on the last business day of each month. The loan had an initial six month term and was secured by a promissory note, share pledge agreement and a general security agreement on the assets of Old Merus.

In connection with the loan, the Company received 925,000 units from Old Merus, each consisting of one common share and one share purchase warrant granting the Company the right to purchase a common share of Old Merus at a purchase price of $0.40, for a term of two years from the date of issuance of the warrant. The Company accounted for these units as loan fees totaling $517,352 by adjusting the yield on the loan based on the fair value of the units received on the date of the loan. The common shares were valued based on the closing share price of Old Merus of $0.37 on the date of the loan. The warrants were valued based on a Black-Scholes option valuation model, using an exercise price of $0.40, the closing share price of Old Merus of $0.37 on the date of the loan, a term of two years, volatility of 100%, a risk free rate of 2%, and a dividend yield of $nil.

The loan fees were amortized using the effective interest method over the six month term of the loan and recorded as interest income. $400,806 of interest related to these loan fees and $75,973 of cash interest was recorded in fiscal 2011. On October 14, 2011, the loan was paid in full, including all accrued interest.

On November 25, 2011, the Company advanced another loan to Old Merus in the amount of US$6,500,000, for purposes of making the second installment on the purchase of Vancocin. The term of the loan was six months, bearing interest at 12% per annum, and was eliminated upon the amalgamation of the Company with Old Merus in December 2011.

On September 30, 2011, the Company agreed to accept partial payment on the sale of Watt International Inc. in the form of a loan receivable in the amount of $350,000. The loan was non-interest bearing and due on demand. Payment was received in full on January 18, 2012.

	The estimated fair value of the options granted during the first six months of fiscal 2012, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, was $2,044,123, of which $1,295,063 was expensed in the financial statements in the first six months of fiscal 2012 and has been included in equity as equity reserves. The remaining expense will be recognized over the balance of the vesting periods.

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of its underlying assets. The Company maintains or adjusts its capital level to enable it to meet its objectives by:

(a)	raising capital through equity financings;
(b)	utilizing leverage in the form of third party debt; and

17. Financial instruments

Fair Value

The Company’s carrying value of cash, short-term investments, trade and other receivables, loan receivable, bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the immediate or short term maturity of these instruments. The fair value of long-term liabilities is not materially different than its carrying value.

Carrying value and fair value of financial assets and liabilities are summarized as follows:

				March 31
				2012
Classification		Carrying value		Fair value
FVTPL	$	1,423,774	$	1,423,774
Loans and receivables		5,281,365		5,281,365
Other financial liabilities		1,211,031		1,211,031

				September 30
				2011
Classification		Carrying value		Fair value
FVTPL	$	3,134,137	$	3,134,137
Loans and receivables		6,736,888		6,736,888
Other financial liabilities		686,339		686,339

				October 1
				2010
Classification		Carrying value		Fair value
FVTPL	$	5,945,810	$	5,945,810
Loans and receivables		10,867,279		10,867,279
Other financial liabilities		1,832,653		1,832,653

The Company is required to present information about its financial assets and liabilities with respect to the hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011

Until December 19, 2011, a major component of the Company’s strategy revolved around investment operations. The Company’s business involved the purchase and sale of securities and, accordingly, the majority of the Company’s assets were comprised of financial instruments. The use of financial instruments can expose the Company to several risks, including market, credit and liquidity risks. Apart from the risks listed below, management is of the opinion that they are not exposed to any other significant risks. A discussion of the Company’s use of financial instruments and its risk management is provided below.

(i)	Liquidity risk
	Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will have sufficient cash resources to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company’s liquidity and operating results may be adversely affected if the Company’s access to the capital markets is hindered, whether as a result of a downturn in stock market conditions generally or related to matters specific to the Company, or if the value of the Company’s investments declines, resulting in losses upon disposition. In order to mitigate this risk, the Company maintains a significant cash balance in order to satisfy short-term liabilities as they come due.
(ii)	Market risk:
	Market risk is the risk that the fair value of, or future cash flows from, the Company’s financial instruments will significantly fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The value of the financial instruments can be affected by changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and equity and commodity prices. The Company is exposed to market risk in trading its investments and unfavourable market conditions could result in dispositions of investments at less than favourable prices.
	The following table shows the estimated sensitivity of the Company’s after-tax net loss for the period ended March 31, 2012 from a change in the closing price of the Company’s investments with all other variables held constant as at March 31, 2012:

		Change in net after-tax		Change in net after-tax
Percentage change in		loss from % increase		loss from % decrease
closing price		in closing price		in closing price
2%	$	28,475	$	(28,475	)
4%		56,951		(56,951	)
6%		85,426		(85,426	)
8%		113,902		(113,902	)
10%		142,377		(142,377	)

(iii)

Currency risk:

The Company is subject to currency risk through its purchases of inventory in US dollars and through product acquisitions denominated in foreign currencies. As such, changes in the exchange rate affect the operating results of the Company. Dependent on the nature, amount and timing of foreign currency payments, the Company may from time to time enter into foreign currency contracts to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk. At March 31, 2012, the Company had no outstanding foreign exchange contracts.

8%		83,303		(83,303	)
10%		104,129		(104,129	)

(iv)

Credit risk:

Certain of the Company’s financial assets, including cash, short-term investments and loans receivable are exposed to the risk of financial loss occurring as a result of default of a counterparty on its obligations to the Company. The Company may, from time to time, invest in debt obligations. The Company is also exposed, in the normal course of business, to credit risk from customer receivables. These amounts are continually monitored by management for collectability, and, in general, are lower risk as they are typically due from large institutions or multinational distributors.

Interest rate risk:

Interest risk is the impact that changes in interest rates could have on the Company’s earnings and liabilities. At March 31, 2012, the Company held no interest-bearing investments. Also, the Company had no exposure to liabilities which bore interest at rates fluctuating with the prime rate or overnight lending rate. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk.

18.	Assets held for sale and discontinued operations

19.	Events after the reporting date
	On May 4, 2012, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement with a syndicate of underwriters, pursuant to which the underwriters agreed to purchase, on a bought deal basis, pursuant to a short form prospectus, 5,556,000 common shares of the Company at a price of $1.80 per Common Share for gross proceeds of $10,000,800. In addition, the Company granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 833,400 common Shares at the offering price, exercisable for a period of up to 30 days after the closing date.
	On May 9, 2012, the Company filed its preliminary prospectus for the offering. The proceeds from the offering are expected to be used by the Company for general corporate purposes. Closing of the offering is anticipated to occur on or about May 29, 2012 and is subject to customary conditions.
20.	First time adoption of IFRS
	The Company has adopted IFRS on October 1, 2011 with a transition date of October 1, 2010. Under IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards the IFRS are applied retrospectively at the transition date with all adjustments to assets and liabilities taken to retained earnings unless certain exemptions are applied. The Company has applied the following exemptions on to its opening consolidated balance sheet dated October 1, 2010:
	Business combinations
	IFRS 1 indicates that a first-time adopter may elect not to apply IFRS 3 Business Combinations retrospectively to business combinations that occurred before the date of transition to IFRS. The Company has taken advantage of this election and has applied IFRS 3 to business combinations that occurred on or after October 1, 2010.
	Consolidated and separate financial statements
	In accordance with IFRS 1, if a company elects to apply IFRS 3 Business Combinations retrospectively, IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements must also be applied retrospectively. As the Company elected to apply IFRS 3 prospectively, the Company has also elected to apply IAS 27 prospectively.

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011

Share-based payment transactions

IFRS 1 encourages, but does not require, first-time adopters to apply IFRS 2 Share-based Payment to equity instruments that were granted on or before November 7, 2002, or equity instruments that were granted subsequent to November 7, 2002 and vested before the later of the date of transition to IFRS and January 1, 2005. The Company has elected not to apply IFRS 2 to awards that vested prior to October 1, 2010, which have been accounted for in accordance with Canadian GAAP.

Cumulative translation differences

IFRS 1 provides an exemption that a first-time adopter need not comply with the requirements of IAS 21The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates for cumulative translation differences that existed at the date of transition to IFRS. The Company has taken advantage of this election and deemed the cumulative translation differences for all subsidiaries to be zero at October 1, 2010.

IFRS 1 also outlines guidelines that a first-time adopter must adhere to under certain circumstances. The Company has applied the following guidelines to its opening consolidated balance sheet dated October 1, 2010:

Estimates

In accordance with IFRS 1, an entity’s estimates in accordance with IFRS at the date of transition to IFRS must be consistent with estimates made for the same date in accordance with previous GAAP, unless there is objective evidence that those estimates were made in error. The Company’s IFRS estimates at October 1, 2010 are consistent with its Canadian GAAP estimates for the same date.

IFRS employs a conceptual framework similar to Canadian GAAP. However, significant differences exist in certain matters of recognition, measurement, and disclosure. While adoption of IFRS has not changed the Company’s cash flows, it has resulted in changes to the Company’s reported financial position and results of operations. In order to allow the users of the financial statements to better understand these changes, the Company’s Canadian GAAP consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss have been reconciled to IFRS, with the resulting differences explained.

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011

The adoption of IFRS has had no impact on the net cash flows of the Company.

(a)

Assets held for disposal and income from discontinued operations

The Company’s former subsidiary, Watt International Inc., recognized revenue under the substantial completion method. Under IFRS, revenue is required to be measured using the percentage–of-completion method. The impact of applying this policy was an adjustment to work-in-progress and accrued revenue at October 1, 2010 and March 31, 2011 and a related adjustment to income from discontinued operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2011. There was no adjustment to the balance sheet at September 30, 2011 as the sale of the subsidiary was completed prior to the period end.
