Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Shareholders of Silanis Technology Inc.
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Silanis Technology Inc, which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2014, and the related statements of comprehensive loss and deficit and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Silanis Technology Inc. as of December 31, 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1. Nature of Operations
Silanis Technology Inc. (the “Company”) is engaged in the development, distribution, and service of computer software, mainly in the North American market.
The Company’s head office address is 8200 Boulevard Décarie #300, Montréal, QC H4P 2P5.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements for the periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2015, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.
Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
The financial position and results of the operations are measured using the U.S. dollars as the functional currency. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments arising from differences in exchange rates are charged or credited to profit or loss.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 985-605,Software – Revenue Recognition, ASC 985-605-25,Revenue Recognition – Multiple Element Arrangements and Staff Accounting Bulletin 104.
Revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection of the revenue is probable.
In multiple-element arrangements, products are accounted for under the software provisions of ASC 985-605 and others under the provisions that relate to the sale of non-software products.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Cont’d)
For multiple-element arrangements, the primary deliverables include:
| 1. | a client component (i.e., an item that is used by the person being authenticated in the form of either a new standalone hardware device or software that is downloaded onto a device the customer already owns); |
| 2. | host system software that is installed on the customer’s systems (i.e., software on the host system that verifies the identity of the person being authenticated) or licenses for additional users on the host system software if the host system software had been installed previously, and; and |
| 3. | post contract support (“PCS”) in the form of maintenance on the host system software or support. |
The multiple element arrangements may also include other items that are usually delivered prior to the recognition of any revenue and incidental to the overall transaction such as initialization of the hardware device, customization of the hardware device itself or the packaging in which it is delivered, deployment services where we deliver the device to our customer’s end-use customer or employee and, in some limited cases, professional services to assist with the initial implementation of a new customer.
In multiple element arrangements that include a hardware client device, the selling price is allocated among all elements, delivered and undelivered, based on internal price lists and the percentage of the selling price of that element, per the price list, to the total of the estimated selling price of all of the elements per the price list. The internal price lists for both delivered and undelivered elements were determined to be reasonable estimates of the selling price of each element based on a comparison of actual sales made to the price list for each item delivered and to vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) for undelivered items.
Undelivered elements primarily are PCS. The estimated selling price of PCS items is based on an established percentage of the user license fee attributable to the specific software and is applied consistently to all PCS arrangements. The percentage we use to establish VSOE, which is also generally consistent with the percentage used in the price list, is developed using the “bell curve method”. This method relies on historical data to show that approximately 80% of renewals are within 15% of the median renewal percentage rate.
In multiple element arrangements that include a software client device, each element is accounted in accordance with the standards of ASC 985-605 related to software. When software client devices and host software are delivered elements, the Residual Method (ASC 605-25) is used to determine the amount of revenue to recognize for token and software licenses if there is a VSOE for all of the undelivered elements. Any discount provided to the customer is applied fully to the delivered elements in such an arrangement. VSOE of fair value of PCS agreements is based on customer renewal transactions on a worldwide basis. In sales arrangements where VSOE of fair value has not been established, revenue for all elements is deferred and amortized over the life of the arrangement.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Cont’d)
For transactions other than multiple-element arrangements, revenue is recognized as follows:
| 1. | Hardware Revenue and License Fees: Revenue from the sale of computer security hardware or the license of software is recorded upon shipment or, if an acceptance period is allowed, at the latter of shipment or customer acceptance. No significant obligations or contingencies exist with regard to delivery, customer acceptance or rights of return at the time revenue is recognized. |
| 2. | Maintenance and Support Agreements: Revenue on maintenance and technical support is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance and support agreement. |
| 3. | Professional Services: Revenue is recognized ratably over the period in which the service is provided. |
Reimbursable expenses represent travel expenses and other expenses incurred in relation to services rendered and reimbursed by the customers. Revenue from reimbursable expenses is recognized once the related services are rendered.
All revenue is reported on a net basis, excluding any sales or value added taxes.
Cash
Cash is stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. Cash is held by a number of Canadian and U.S. commercial banks.
Short Term Investment
Short term investment is stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. Short term investment consists of high-quality commercial paper or bank certificates of deposit with maturities of twelve months or less.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The creditworthiness of customers is reviewed prior to shipment. Reasonable assurance of collection is a requirement for revenue recognition. Verification of credit and/or the establishment of credit limits are part of the customer contract administration process. Credit limit adjustments for existing customers may result from the periodic review of outstanding accounts receivable. The Company records trade accounts receivable at invoice values, which are generally equal to fair value. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make payments for goods and services. We analyze accounts receivable balances, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment timing when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is based on a specific review of all significant past due accounts. If the financial condition of our customers deteriorates, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Notes to the financial statements

(in U.S. dollars)
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Cont’d)
Management has determined that no allowance for doubtful accounts is necessary in order to adequately cover exposure to loss in its accounts receivable balance as at December 31, 2014. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts for the periods ended September 30, 2014 (unaudited) and September 30, 2015 (unaudited).
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the declining balance over their useful lives on a declining balance basis at the following annual rates:
| | | | |
Furniture and equipment | | | 30 | % |
Computer equipment | | | 30 | % |
Research equipment | | | 30 | % |
Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the asset and the term of the lease.
Additions and improvements are capitalized, while expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Gains or losses resulting from sales or retirements are recorded as incurred, at which time related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying value exceeds the total undiscounted cash flows expected from their use and eventual disposal. The amount of the impairment loss is determined as the excess of the carrying value over its fair value.
Restricted cash
Restricted cash consists of cash held in bank and restricted from use by the Company for the purpose of credit card processing payments.
Research and Development Costs
Costs for research and development, principally the design and development of software prior to the determination of technological feasibility, are expensed as incurred on a project-by-project basis.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Cont’d)
Tax credits
The Company claims investment tax credits as a result of incurring scientific research and experimental development expenditures. These tax credits are accounted for as government grants under the cost reduction method, whereby the tax credits are presented as a reduction to expenses or carrying value of the asset. Tax credits are recorded when the qualifying expenditures have been incurred and there is reasonable assurance that the tax credits will be realized. Tax credits are subject to audit by the relevant taxation authority.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates is recognized on deferred tax assets and liabilities and in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company monitors their potential income tax exposures as required by ASC 740-10, Income Taxes.
The Company has significant net operating losses and other deductible carryforwards available to reduce the liability on future taxable income. A valuation allowance has been provided to offset some of these future benefits because we have not determined that their realization is more likely than not.
Leases
All of the Company’s leases are operating leases. Rent expense on facility leases is charged evenly over the life of the lease, regardless of the timing of actual payments.
The deferred lease inducement was received in the form of free rent for a period of seven months for the Company’s office premises. The lease inducement is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the then remaining term of the lease of 10 years, as a reduction of rent expense.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 7. The stock options awarded under the Plan are liability classified awards and are required to be remeasured to fair value at each balance sheet date until the award is settled, as required by provisions of the “Share-Based Payments Topic of FASB ASC.”

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2015-17 – Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (“ASU 2015-17”)
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, which require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position.
The amendments apply to all entities that present a classified statement of financial position. The current requirement that deferred tax liabilities and assets of a tax-paying component of an entity be offset and presented as a single amount is not affected by the amendments.
The amendments are effective for the Company’s financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of its pending adoption of ASU 2015-17 on its financial statements.
ASU 2015-14, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (Topic 606), Deferral of the Effective Date (“ASU 2015-14”)
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in applying such process, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP.
As a result of the issuance of ASU 2015-14, ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of its pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its financial statements and has not yet determined the method by which they will adopt the standard in 2018.

2015-05 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement (“ASU 2015-05”)
The amendments in ASU 2015-05 provide guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The amendments do not change the accounting for a customer’s accounting for service contracts. As a result of the amendments, all software licenses within the scope of Subtopic 350-40 will be accounted for consistent with other licenses of intangible assets.
The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. An entity can elect to adopt the amendments either: (1) prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date; or (2) retrospectively. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company`s financial position or results of operations. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of its pending adoption on its financial statements.
ASU 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”)
The amendments in ASU 2015-03 are intended to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. These amendments require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU.
The amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of its pending adoption on its financial statements.

ASU 2015-01, Income Statement—Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items (“ASU 2015-01”)
The amendments in ASU 2015-01 eliminate from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. Subtopic 225-20, Income Statement—Extraordinary and Unusual Items, required that an entity separately classify, present, and disclose extraordinary events and transactions. This ASU will also align more closely U.S. GAAP income statement presentation guidance with IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, which prohibits the presentation and disclosure of extraordinary items.
The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. A reporting entity may apply the amendments prospectively. A reporting entity also may apply the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company`s results of operations.
ASU 2014-16 Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Is More Akin to Debt or to Equity (“ASU 2014-16”)
The FASB has issued ASU 2014-16 to eliminate the use of different methods in practice and thereby reduce existing diversity under U.S. GAAP in the accounting for hybrid financial instruments issued in the form of a share.
These amendments apply to all entities that are issuers of, or investors in, hybrid financial instruments that are issued in the form of a share.
The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption, including adoption in an interim period, is permitted. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments shall be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of its pending adoption on its financial statements.

ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”)
The FASB has issued ASU 2014-15 which is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. This ASU provides guidance to an organization’s management, with principles and definitions that are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of disclosures that are commonly provided by organizations today in the financial statement footnotes.
The amendments are effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted for annual or interim reporting periods for which the financial statements have not previously been issued. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of its pending adoption on its financial statements.
ASU 2014-12, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for shared-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period (“ASU 2014-12”)
The FASB has issued ASU 2014-12 which requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. The performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved.
The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of its pending adoption on its financial statements.

9. Stock-based compensation
In June 2007, the Company’s stock option plan was amended and restated (the “New Plan”). Pursuant to the New Plan, options exercisable for Class C exchangeable shares of the Company can be issued from time to time to employees, consultants, directors and officers of LTD and/or the Company, provided that the aggregate number of Class C exchangeable shares that can be issued further to the exercise of options under the New Plan may not exceed more than 10% of the share capital of LTD on a fully diluted basis (assuming the exchange of all Class B Exchangeable shares and Class C Exchangeable shares of the Company). Unless otherwise determined by the board of directors of the Company at the time of the granting of a particular option, options granted under the New Plan vest 25% per year over four years and expire 10 years after their date of grant. Certain options additionally have vesting that is conditional upon the individual reaching certain financial targets and/or individual performance measures. For these performance-based options, a stock-based compensation expense is recorded based on the likelihood that the financial targets and/or performance measures would be reached.

9. Stock-based compensation (Cont’d)
As at September 30, 2015, 3,176,430 (unaudited) options are not yet exercisable of which 2,292,708 (unaudited) will become exercisable based solely on fulfilling a service condition and 883,722 (unaudited) on a performance condition.
The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the period ended September 30, 2015 was approximately $23,400 (unaudited).
The stock-based compensation expense amounted to $434,236 for year ended December 31, 2014, $151,604 (unaudited) for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, and $1,755,910 (unaudited) for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015.
As the stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Statements of comprehensive loss and deficit is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, such amounts have been reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant, and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures were estimated based on the Company’s historical experience.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, 400,000 options were forfeited due to employment terminations and 18,750 options expired due to conditional vesting criteria not being met. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 50,000 (unaudited) options were forfeited due to employment terminations.
The aggregate intrinsic value of options is calculated determined as the estimated current stock price of the Company, as of the balance sheet date, less the option exercise price times the respective number of options outstanding or exercisable, on a weighted average basis. Options with an exercise price greater than the current stock price are excluded from the calculation.

10. Income taxes
The Canadian federal corporate tax rates vary with taxable income. For the year ended December 31, 2014, our statutory tax rate was 26.9%. The differences between the income tax provisions computed using the statutory federal income tax rate and the provisions for income taxes reported in the statements of comprehensive loss and deficit are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | For the year ended December 31, 2014 $ | | | For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 (unaudited) $ | | | For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 (unaudited) $ | |

10. Income taxes (Cont’d)
The valuation allowance at December 31, 2013 was $8,136,000. The net change in the valuation allowance during the period ended December 31, 2014, was an increase of $1,434,000. The net change in the valuation allowance during the period ended September 30, 2015 was an increase of $1,077,000 (unaudited). In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on consideration of these items, management has determined that enough uncertainty exists relative to the realization of the deferred income tax asset balances to warrant the application of a full valuation allowance as of December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2015.
As at December 31, 2014, there were Canadian and provincial net operating losses of approximately $23,045,000 and $21,553,000 respectively, that may be applied against earnings of future years. Utilization of the net operating losses is subject to significant limitations imposed by the change in control provisions. Canadian and provincial losses will be expiring between 2027 and 2034. A portion of the net operating losses may expire before they can be utilized.
As at December 31, 2014, the Company has non-refundable tax credits of approximately $340,000 expiring between 2018 and 2034 and undeducted research and development expenses of approximately $7,413,000 and $21,026,000 with no expiration date for Canadian and Provincial income tax purposes, respectively.
The deferred tax benefit of these items is not recognized in the accounts as it has been fully provided for.
Unrecognized Tax Benefits
The Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits.
Tax Years and Examination
The Company files tax returns in each jurisdiction in which it is registered to do business. For each jurisdiction a statute of limitations period exists. After a statute of limitations period expires, the respective tax authorities may no longer assess additional income tax for the expired period. Similarly, the Company is no longer eligible to file claims for refund for any tax that it may have overpaid. The following table summarizes the Company’s major tax jurisdictions and the tax years that remain subject to examination by these jurisdictions as of September 30, 2015:
| | |
Tax Jurisdictions | | Tax Years |
Federal – Canada | | 2011 and onward |
Provincial – Quebec | | 2011 and onward |

11. Commitments and contingencies
The Company leases office space under operating lease agreements expiring at various times through 2019. Future minimum rental payments required under non-cancelable leases are as follows:
| | | | |
Years | | Amount $ | |
2015 | | | 205,859 | |
2016 | | | 205,859 | |
2017 | | | 205,859 | |
2018 | | | 205,859 | |
2019 | | | 17,155 | |
| | | | |
Total | | | 840,591 | |
| | | | |
Rent expense under operating leases aggregate to $177,613 for the year ended December 31, 2014, ($135,509 (unaudited) and $126,257 (unaudited) for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively). Rent expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease agreement.
From time to time, the Company has been involved in litigation incidental to the conduct of its business. Currently, the Company is not a party to any lawsuit or proceeding that, in management’s opinion, is likely to have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.
Various types of indemnification clauses are included in the Company’s agreements. These indemnifications may include, but are not limited to, infringement claims related to our intellectual property, direct damages and consequential damages. The type and amount of such indemnifications vary substantially based on management assessment of risk and reward associated with each agreement. The Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification clauses is minimal and there have been no previous indemnification claims, and the Company cannot determine the maximum amount of potential future payments, if any, related to such indemnification provisions. The Company has no liabilities recorded for these clauses as of December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2015.
In 2008, the Company entered into a long-term operating lease which required a letter of credit, renewable annually, in the amount of CDN $400,000 to guarantee its obligations under the long-term operating lease. Effective February 1, 2014, the letter of credit was reduced to CDN $100,000, as stipulated in the terms of the lease.

| • | | In 2007, the Company extended a loan to an executive officer by virtue of his employment. This loan, in the amount of $65,803 (CDN $76,331) as at December 31, 2014, and of $56,486 (CDN $75,657 (unaudited)) as of September 30, 2015, bears interest payable annually at the commercial prime (3% as at December 31, 2014; 2.70% (unaudited) as at September 30, 2015) rate plus 0.25%. The loan is repayable on demand and is secured by a number of Class C Exchangeable shares with aggregate market value equal to the outstanding loan including accrued interest. |
| • | | In 2014, the Company entered into a credit facility for borrowings from various shareholders of up to a maximum of CDN $2,000,000, expiring December 31, 2015, bearing interest at prime plus 5% per annum (see Note 7). |
13. Fair value of financial instruments
At December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2015, the financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, tax credits receivable, short term investments, shareholder and employee loans, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, tax credit advance, loans, related parties and stock-based liability. The estimated fair value of the financial instruments have been determined by using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies, as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The fair values of the financial instruments are not materially different from their carrying amounts at December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2015.
ASC 825, Financial Instruments requires the disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments, including assets and liabilities recognized on the balance sheet. The Company values its financial instruments using a hierarchy of fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

13. Fair value of financial instruments (Cont’d)
The fair value hierarchy can be summarized as follows:
Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail significant degree of judgment.
Level 2 – Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 – Valuations incorporate inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
The estimated fair values of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivables, tax credits receivable, shareholder and employee loans, accounts payables and accrued liabilities, tax credit advance and shareholders loan arising in the ordinary course of business, approximate their individual carrying amounts due to the relatively short period of time between their origination and expected realization. All financial instruments are categorized as level 1 except for the stock-based liability which is categorized as level 3.
14. Subsequent events
On September 14, 2015, the shareholders of LTD passed special resolutions approving the continuance of LTD from Jersey under the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 into Canada under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “Continuance”).
