Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | ' |
Note 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN | ' |
MetaStat, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company,” or “MetaStat”) is a development stage life sciences company focused on developing and commercializing novel diagnostic technologies and therapeutics for the early and reliable prediction and treatment of systemic metastasis - cancer that spreads from a primary tumor through the bloodstream to other areas of the body. Systemic metastasis is responsible for ~90% of all solid tumor cancer related deaths and as such, we believe the more effective treatment of metastatic disease and/or the prevention of systemic metastasis is needed to improve patient outcomes. | |
Basis of Presentation | |
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, MetasStat BioMedical, Inc., a Delaware corporation. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States consistent with those applied in, and should be read in conjunction with, the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended February 28, 2013 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 28, 2013. These financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of August 31, 2013 and its results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented and are not necessarily indicative of results for subsequent interim periods or for the full year. These interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and allowed by the relevant SEC rules and regulations; however, the Company believes that its disclosures are adequate to ensure that the information presented is not misleading. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current presentation. | |
Restatement | |
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company identified certain errors related to the recognition and measurement of share-based payment awards that were issued during the three months ended May 31, 2013. The company improperly recognized stock-based compensation expense for certain awards that had performance vesting conditions for which, at the time of issuance of the interim consolidated financial statements, it was not probable that the vesting conditions would be met. Further, during its review of its share-based payment awards, the Company also noted that the measurement of other share-based payment awards was performed using incorrect inputs, resulting in a higher fair value. Both of these errors resulted in an overstatement of paid in capital of $1,489,256 as of August 31, 2013 and an overstatement of the stock-based compensation for the three and six months ended August 31, 2013 of $270,390 and $1,489,256, respectively. | |
Additionally, for the three and six months ended August 31, 2013, the Company reclassified accretion expense $189,324 and $363,306, respectively, and interest expense of $34,750 and $63,550, respectively, previously included in general & administrative expenses, from Operating Expenses to Other Expenses, resulting in a decrease of Operating Expenses of $224,074 and $426,856, respectively, and a corresponding increase in Other Expenses. | |
Finally, cash flow used in operating activities and net cash provided by financing activities were each decreased by $93,840, to reflect a non-cash transaction for short-term financing of insurance premiums, that had previously being included as a cash transaction in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash flows. | |
The impact of the aforementioned adjustments on the net loss for the three and six months ended August 31, 2013, was a decrease of the originally reported net loss of $270,390 and $1,498,256, respectively. | |
The impact of the aforementioned adjustments on the loss per share for the three and six months ended August 31, 2013, was a decrease of the originally reported loss per share of $0.01 and $0.07 respectively. | |
Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been revised to include these aforementioned adjustments. | |
Going Concern | |
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As of August 31, 2013, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $7,935,456. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity and/or debt financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company cannot make any assurances that additional financings will be completed on a timely basis, on acceptable terms or at all. If the Company is unable to complete a debt or equity offering, or otherwise obtain sufficient financing when and if needed, it would negatively impact it’s business and operations, which could cause the price of its common stock to decline. It could also lead to the reduction or suspension of the Company’s operations and ultimately force the Company to cease operations. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. | |

Note 5. CONVERTIBLE NOTES | ' |
During the six months ended August 31, 2013, the Company issued convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $700,000 (the “Convertible Notes”) with 70,000 detachable warrants that can be exercised at $3.00 per share. The Convertible Notes bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum, mature on December 31, 2013 and rank senior to the Company’s currently issued and outstanding indebtedness and equity securities. Upon the closing by MetaStat of an equity or equity based financing or a series of equity or equity based financings (a “Qualified Financing”) resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of at least $3,500,000 in the aggregate inclusive of the Convertible Notes, the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder (the “Outstanding Balance”) shall automatically convert into such securities, including warrants, as are issued in the Qualified Financing, the amount of which shall be determined in accordance with the following formula: (the Outstanding Balance as of the closing of the Qualified Financing) x (1.15) / (the per security price of the securities sold in the Qualified Financing). Commencing six months following the issuance date of the Convertible Notes, the Noteholders shall have the right, at their option, to convert the Outstanding Balance into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $2.50 per share. As of August 31, 2013, we have $1,487,000 aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes outstanding. | |
Any contingent beneficial conversion feature related to the automatic conversion will be recognized when and if a Qualified Financing occurs based on its intrinsic value at the commitment date. | |
The detachable warrants had a weighted-average fair value of $2.85 per warrant using a Black-Scholes model. Average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model included: (1) a discount rate of 0.58%; (2) an expected term of 4.00 years; (3) an expected volatility of 141%; and (4) zero expected dividends. | |
The relative fair value of the detachable warrants of $154,727 was recorded as a discount to convertible debt. An additional debt discount of $390,627 was recorded to recognize the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature. The debt discount is being amortized through the maturity of the Convertible Notes using the effective interest method. For the three and six months ended August 31, 2013 $189,324 and $363,306, respectively, was recognized as accretion expense. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | ' |
Basis of Presentation | ' |
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, MetasStat BioMedical, Inc., a Delaware corporation. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States consistent with those applied in, and should be read in conjunction with, the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended February 28, 2013 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 28, 2013. These financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of August 31, 2013 and its results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented and are not necessarily indicative of results for subsequent interim periods or for the full year. These interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and allowed by the relevant SEC rules and regulations; however, the Company believes that its disclosures are adequate to ensure that the information presented is not misleading. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current presentation. | |
Restatement | ' |
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company identified certain errors related to the recognition and measurement of share-based payment awards that were issued during the three months ended May 31, 2013. The company improperly recognized stock-based compensation expense for certain awards that had performance vesting conditions for which, at the time of issuance of the interim consolidated financial statements, it was not probable that the vesting conditions would be met. Further, during its review of its share-based payment awards, the Company also noted that the measurement of other share-based payment awards was performed using incorrect inputs, resulting in a higher fair value. Both of these errors resulted in an overstatement of paid in capital of $1,489,256 as of August 31, 2013 and an overstatement of the stock-based compensation for the three and six months ended August 31, 2013 of $270,390 and $1,489,256, respectively. | |
Additionally, for the three and six months ended August 31, 2013, the Company reclassified accretion expense $189,324 and $363,306, respectively, and interest expense of $34,750 and $63,550, respectively, previously included in general & administrative expenses, from Operating Expenses to Other Expenses, resulting in a decrease of Operating Expenses of $224,074 and $426,856, respectively, and a corresponding increase in Other Expenses. | |
Finally, cash flow used in operating activities and net cash provided by financing activities were each decreased by $93,840, to reflect a non-cash transaction for short-term financing of insurance premiums, that had previously being included as a cash transaction in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash flows. | |
The impact of the aforementioned adjustments on the net loss for the three and six months ended August 31, 2013, was a decrease of the originally reported net loss of $270,390 and $1,498,256, respectively. | |
The impact of the aforementioned adjustments on the loss per share for the three and six months ended August 31, 2013, was a decrease of the originally reported loss per share of $0.01 and $0.07 respectively. | |
Accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been revised to include these aforementioned adjustments. | |
Going Concern | ' |
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As of August 31, 2013, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $7,935,456. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity and/or debt financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company cannot make any assurances that additional financings will be completed on a timely basis, on acceptable terms or at all. If the Company is unable to complete a debt or equity offering, or otherwise obtain sufficient financing when and if needed, it would negatively impact it’s business and operations, which could cause the price of its common stock to decline. It could also lead to the reduction or suspension of the Company’s operations and ultimately force the Company to cease operations. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. |
