Description Of Business And Going Concern | |
ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN | MetaStat, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company,” or “MetaStat”) is a pre-commercial molecular diagnostic company focused on the development and commercialization of novel diagnostics to provide physicians and patients actionable information regarding the risk of systemic metastasis and adjuvant chemotherapy treatment decisions. We believe cancer treatment strategies can be personalized and outcomes improved through new diagnostic tools that identify the aggressiveness and metastatic potential of primary tumors. The Company was incorporated on March 28, 2007 under the laws of the State of Nevada. Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, MetaStat Biomedical, Inc., a Delaware corporation and all significant intercompany balances have been eliminated by consolidation. Reverse Stock Split On October 8, 2015, the Company effected a 1-for-15 reverse stock split of our common stock, whereby every 15 shares of issued and outstanding common stock became 1 share of newly issued and outstanding common stock. The reverse stock split was approved by the Company's stockholders at a special stockholders meeting on June 22, 2015. The purpose of the reverse stock split was to qualify for the minimum stock price listing requirement for a planned up-listing to a national securities exchange including the NASDAQ Capital Market or NYSE Market. All reference in the document to the number of shares, price per share and weighted average number of shares outstanding of the Company's common stock prior to the reverse stock split have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split on a retroactive basis. Going Concern The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception and currently has a stockholders’ deficit of $1,769,697. The Company has sustained cumulative losses of $23,377,328 million as of February 29, 2016 and has not generated revenues or positive cash flows from operations. 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 available to it and, if available, 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 its business and operations and 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. Subsequent to February 29, 2016, the Company completed a first closing of a private placement effective on May 26, 2016 pursuant to a subscription agreement with various accredited investors, whereby the Company issued an aggregate of 100,000 shares of common stock and 50,000 common stock purchase warrants with an exercise price of $3.00 per share and a term of five years for aggregate gross proceeds of $200,000 and net proceeds of approximately $162,000. See Note 16 – Subsequent Events for more details on this transaction. |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTI
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 12 Months Ended |

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the FASB “FASB Accounting Standard Codification(TM)” or “ASC,” which is the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, including contingencies. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from date of purchase to be cash equivalents. All cash balances were highly liquid at February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company primarily maintains its cash balances with financial institutions in federally insured accounts. The Company may from time to time have cash in banks in excess of FDIC insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses to date resulting from this practice. The Company mitigates its risk by maintaining the majority of its cash and equivalents with high quality financial institutions. Equipment Equipment is stated at cost. The cost of equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods for income tax purposes. Expenditures for major renewals or betterments that extend the useful lives of equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Long-lived Assets Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or conditions indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the related asset or group of assets, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the asset or group of assets. There was no impairment of long-lived assets as of February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015. Debt issuance Costs We have early adopted ASU-No. 2015-03, “Interest – Imputation of Interest” and are recording debt issuance costs as a direct reduction of the carrying amount of the related debt. Debt issuance costs are amortized over the maturity period of the related debt instrument using the effective interest method. Debt Instruments We analyze debt issuance for various features that would generally require either bifurcation and derivative accounting, or recognition of a debt discount or premium under authoritative guidance. Detachable warrants issued in conjunction with debt are measured at their relative fair value, if they are determined to be equity instrument, or their fair value, if they are determined to be liability instruments, and recorded as a debt discount. Conversion features that are in the money at the commitment date constitute a beneficial conversion feature that is measured at its intrinsic value and recognized as debt discount. Debt discount is amortized as interest expense over the maturity period of the debt using the effective interest method. Contingent beneficial conversion features are recognized when the contingency has been resolved. Fair Value Measurements The Company groups its assets and liabilities measured at fair value in three levels based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Financial instruments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: Level 1 – Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 – Valuation is based on observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 – Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, some discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the financial instrument. The Company recognizes transfers between levels as if the transfers occurred on the last day of the reporting period. Revenues We currently do not have any revenues. We expect to derive our revenues from sale of our products, which are currently under development. Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Restricted shares issued with vesting conditions that have not been met at the end of the period are excluded from the computation of the weighted average shares. As of February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, 11,536 and 24,522, respectively, restricted shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of the weighted average shares. Diluted net loss per common share is calculated giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period. Diluted potential common shares generally consist of incremental shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants and conversion of outstanding options and warrants and shares issuable from convertible securities, as well as nonvested restricted shares. In computing diluted loss per share for the years ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, no effect has been given to the common shares issuable at the end of the period upon the conversion or exercise of the following securities as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive: February 29, 2016 February 28, 2015 Stock options 426,976 187,334 Warrants 913,514 580,515 Preferred stock 497,527 210,708 Total 1,838,017 978,557 Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to net operating loss carry forwards and temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. These assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded if it more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods. Research and Development Costs Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred and are included in operating expenses. Research and development costs consist principally of compensation cost for our employees and consultants that perform our research activities, the fees paid to maintain our licenses, the payments to third parties for clinical testing and additional product development, and consumables and other materials used in research and development. Research and development costs were $1,360,739 and $1,266,158 for the years ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, respectively. Stock-Based Compensation We account for share-based payments award issued to employees and members of our Board of Directors (the “Board”) by measuring the fair value of the award on the date of grant and recognizing this fair value as stock-based compensation using a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, generally the vesting period. For awards issued to non-employees, the measurement date is the date when the performance is complete or when the award vests, whichever is the earliest. Accordingly, non-employee awards are remeasured at each reporting period until the final measurement date. The fair value of the award is recognized as stock-based compensation over the requisite service period, generally the vesting period. For awards with performance conditions that affect their vesting, such as the occurrence of certain transactions or the achievement of certain operating or financial milestones, recognition of fair value of the award over the requisite service period begins when vesting becomes probable. For awards with market conditions that affect their vesting, the fair value of the award is recognized as stock-based compensation over the requisite service period, generally the vesting period. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-15”), which establishes management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern in connection with preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period. ASU 2014-15 also provides guidance to determine whether to disclose information about relevant conditions and events when there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. This update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning December 15, 2016; early adoption is permitted. We do not believe the adoption of this standard will have an effect on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) Leases (Topic 840) In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2016-09"). ASU 2016-09 simplifies certain aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, an option to recognize gross stock compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur, as well as certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
LICENSE, DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIALIZATION AGREEMENT WITH ASET THERAPEUTICS, LLC | On November 25, 2014, we entered into a License, Development and Commercialization Agreement (the “ASET License Agreement”) with ASET Therapeutics LLC (“ASET” or the “Licensee”), a private third party entity affiliated with one of the Company’s directors. The ASET License Agreement sets forth the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to the grant by the Company to the Licensee of an exclusive license of certain of Company’s therapeutic assets and an exclusive sublicense, with the right to sublicense through multiple tiers, of all rights and obligations under the Company’s existing Therapeutic License Agreement dated as of December 7, 2013 with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and its David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT and its Department of Biology (“MIT”), Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University, and Montefiore Medical Center (the “Therapeutic License Agreement”). The licensed technology includes: (i) Alternative Splicing Event (ASE) technology based on International Patent Application WO 2012/116248 A1 entitled "Alternatively Spliced mRNA Isoforms as Prognostic and Therapeutic Tools for Metastatic Breast Cancer and Other Invasive/Metastatic Cancers"; and (ii) Technology and know-how stemming from all ASE discovery work carried out in our labs at SUNY Stony Brook from September 2013 through November 25, 2014. The ASET License Agreement provides that the Company has the right to commercialize any companion diagnostic or biomarker (the “Companion Diagnostics”) arising from the work performed by the Licensee under the ASET License Agreement, pursuant to an exclusive sublicense. The ASET License Agreement calls for certain customary payments such as annual license maintenance payments ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 and milestone payments upon the achievement of specified regulatory and sales milestones. The ASET License Agreement also requires the payment by ASET of a low single-digit royalty on net sales, at such time, if ever, as ASET’s products are fully developed, receive the required regulatory approvals and are commercialized. MIT shall retain the sole and exclusive right to file, prosecute and maintain the MIT patent rights in accordance with the Therapeutic License Agreement. ASET shall have the first right to file, prosecute and maintain at its expense, the MetaStat patent rights not covered by the Therapeutic License Agreement and any patent application(s) or patent(s) arising from joint inventions, using patent counsel selected by ASET. In addition, ASET shall have the first right to initiate and prosecute such legal action or to control the defense of any declaratory judgment action relating to the parties’ patent rights in the territory in the field. ASET and MetaStat shall jointly bear the expense of such legal action. Pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding between the Company and ASET (as assignee), as amended (the “MOU”), ASET is obligated to invest an aggregate of $1.25 million in new equity in the Company, $250,000 of which was invested in the Qualified Financing (see Note 6) with the balance to be invested in a separate financing on substantially similar terms on or before December 31, 2015. In the event that ASET does not satisfy its investment obligation, the ASET License Agreement will terminate and the assets will automatically revert back to the Company. The MOU also required ASET to pay for all costs and expenses of the SUNY Stony Brook facility, up to a maximum of $50,000 per month, from October 15, 2014 until the transfer of such assets under the ASET License Agreement. In addition, ASET agreed to reimburse the Company $150,000 for certain costs incurred at such facility by March 1, 2015. Pursuant to the MOU, the Company is obligated to make a $1 million preferred stock equity investment in exchange for a 20% equity interest in ASET (on a fully diluted, as converted basis) on or before December 31, 2015. The Company will maintain its 20% equity ownership in ASET until such time that ASET raises an aggregate of $4,000,000 in equity or in a financing in which ASET issues securities convertible into equity (including the $1 million received from the Company, but excluding any proceeds received by ASET from the sale of the Company’s securities), after which it will be diluted proportionately with all other equity holders of ASET. The Company will have the right to maintain its equity position in ASET by participating in future financings; provided, however, that such right will terminate in the event the Company does not make a minimum investment in a future financing of ASET equal to at least the lesser of (i) $250,000 and (ii) an amount required to maintain its 20% equity ownership interest. The MOU also provides that so long as the Company owns at least ten percent (10%) of the outstanding equity interests of ASET, the Company will have the right to designate one member of the ASET’s board of directors or similar governing body and that the Company’s current chief executive officer shall provide an oversight function to ASET for a period of six months following the execution of the ASET License Agreement. We determined that ASET meets the criteria for variable interest entities (“VIEs”), which are entities in which equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. VIEs are consolidated by the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the party who has both the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and an obligation to absorb losses of the entity or a right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the entity. We determined that the Company is not the primary beneficiary of ASET based primarily on the facts that we do not have the power to direct ASET’s operations nor do we have any obligation to absorb ASET losses. As a result, ASET has not been consolidated by the Company. Our determination of whether we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE is based upon the facts and circumstances for the VIE and requires significant judgment regarding whether we have power to direct the VIE’s most significant activities, which includes, but is not limited to, the VIE’s purpose and design and the risks passed through to investors, the voting interests of the VIE, management, service and/or other agreements of the VIE, involvement in the VIE’s initial design and the existence of explicit or implicit financial guarantees. On June 22, 2015, effective May 31, 2015, the Company and ASET entered into a side letter that clarifies certain terms of the MOU including allowing for the equity investments in multiple tranches. In addition, the parties mutually agreed to an extension of the $150,000 due the Company on March 1, 2015 in connection with the reimbursement for certain costs. ASET issued an interest free promissory Note to the Company in the aggregate amount of $150,000, payable in three installments of $50,000 each due on June 1, 2015, July 1, 2015 and August 1, 2015, respectively. The Company has received each of the first two payments of $50,000 and as of February 29, 2016, has a $50,000 note receivable from ASET. ASET also issued a Note to the Company in the principal amount of $75,000 for the purchase of the equipment and fixed assets of the Stony Brook, NY laboratory. The Note is interest free and matured on December 30, 2015. In the event the Company has purchased at least $925,000 in equity of ASET prior to December 30, 2015, then the Company may use the Note as payment for its remainder purchase of equity in ASET. The $75,000 balance has been recorded as a note receivable on the Company’s Balance Sheet. In accordance with the MOU, during the year ended February 28, 2015, we received payments in the aggregate of $75,000 from ASET as a reimbursement of research and development expenses incurred from October 15, 2014 through November 25, 2014. These payments are presented as a reduction of the research and development expense for the year ended February 28, 2015. Pursuant to the terms of the ASET License Agreement, as of December 31, 2015, the license granted thereunder was terminated by its terms as a result of ASET’s failure to invest $1 million in new equity in MetaStat. However, we are currently in discussions with ASET regarding the relationship, if any, moving forward, and the resolution of certain issues arising under the ASET License Agreement and the MOU. We have determined that the $125,000 notes receivable from ASET at February 29, 2016, are still collectible. |

Equity [Abstract] | |
CAPITAL STOCK | The Company has authorized 160,000,000 shares of capital stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of which 150,000,000 are shares of common stock and 10,000,000 are shares of “blank-check” preferred stock. Our Board is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights, which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock. The preferred stock could be utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of us. Common Stock The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share. In addition, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by our Board out of legally available funds; however, the current policy of our Board is to retain earnings, if any, for operations and growth. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to share ratably in all assets that are legally available for distribution. Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation of Rights and Preferences of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Certificate of Designation”), the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock are as follows: Ranking The Series A Preferred Stock will rank senior to our common stock with respect to distributions of assets upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. Dividends The Series A Preferred Stock is not entitled to any dividends. Liquidation Rights In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company, whether such assets are capital or surplus, for each share of Series A Preferred Stock an amount equal to the fair market value as determined in good faith by the Board. Voluntary Conversion; Anti-Dilution Adjustments Each fifteen (15) shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible into one share of common stock (the “Series A Conversion Ratio”). The Series A Conversion Ratio is subject to customary adjustments for issuances of shares of common stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of the common stock, or mergers or reorganizations. Voting Rights The Series A Preferred Stock has no voting rights. The common stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible shall, upon issuance, have all of the same voting rights as other issued and outstanding common stock, and none of the rights of the Series A Preferred Stock. Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation of Rights and Preferences of the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Certificate of Designation”), the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock are as follows: Ranking The Series B Preferred Stock will rank senior to the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and common stock with respect to distributions of assets upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. Stated Value Each shares of Series B Preferred Stock will have a stated value of $5,500, subject to adjustment for stock splits, combinations and similar events (the “Stated Value”). Dividends Cumulative dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock accrue at the rate of 8% of the Stated Value per annum, payable quarterly on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 of each year, from and after the date of the initial issuance. Dividends are payable in kind in additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock valued at the Stated Value or in cash at the sole option of the Company. At February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, the dividend payable to the holders of the Series B Preferred stocks amounted to $48,317 and $16,767, respectively. During the year ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, the Company issued 42.8202 and 0 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, respectively, for payment of dividends amounting to $235,508 and $0, respectively. Liquidation Rights If the Company voluntarily or involuntarily liquidates, dissolves or winds up its affairs, each holder of the Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive out of the Company’s assets available for distribution to stockholders, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors, if any, but before any distribution of assets is made on the Series A Preferred Stock or common stock or any of the Company’s shares of stock ranking junior as to such a distribution to the Series B Preferred Stock, a liquidating distribution in the amount of the Stated Value of all such holder’s Series B Preferred Stock plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. At February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, the value of the liquidation preference of the Series B Preferred stocks aggregated to $3,672,000 and $1,274,000, respectively. Conversion; Anti-Dilution Adjustments Each share of Series B Preferred Stock will be convertible at the holder’s option into common stock in an amount equal to the Stated Value plus accrued and unpaid dividends thereon through the conversion date divided by the then applicable conversion price. The initial conversion price is $8.25 per share (the “Series B Conversion Price”) and is subject to customary adjustments for issuances of shares of common stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of common stock, or mergers or reorganizations, as well as “full ratchet” anti-dilution adjustments for future issuances of other Company securities (subject to certain standard carve-outs) at prices less than the applicable Series B Conversion Price. The Series B Preferred Stock is subject to automatic conversion (the “Mandatory Conversion”) at such time when the Company’s common stock has been listed on a national stock exchange such as the NASDAQ, New York Stock Exchange or NYSE MKT; provided, that, on the Mandatory Conversion date, a registration statement providing for the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the Series B Preferred Stock is effective. In the event of a Mandatory Conversion, each share of Series B Preferred Stock will convert into the number of shares of common stock equal to the Stated Value plus accrued and unpaid dividends divided by the applicable Series B Conversion Price. Voting Rights As of February 29, 2015, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock had no voting rights. On March 27, 2015, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock entered into an Amended and Restated Series B Preferred Purchase Agreement, whereby the Company filed an Amended and Restated Series B Preferred Certificate of Designation. The Amended and Restated Series B Preferred Certificate of Designation provides that the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which such Series B Preferred Stock could be converted for purposes of determining the shares entitled to vote at any regular, annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company, and shall have voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the common stock (voting together with the common stock as a single class). Most Favored Nation For a period of up to 30 months after March 31, 2015, if the Company issues any New Securities (as defined below) in a private placement or public offering (a “Subsequent Financing”), the holders of Series B Preferred Stock may exchange all of the Series B Preferred Stock at their Stated Value plus all Series A Warrants (as defined below) issued to the Series B Preferred Stock investors in the Series B Private Placement for the securities issued in the Subsequent Financing on the same terms of such Subsequent Financing. This right expires upon the earlier of (i) September 30, 2017 and (ii) the consummation of a bona fide underwritten public offering in which the Company receives aggregate gross proceeds of at least $5.0 million. ”New Securities” means shares of the common stock, any other securities, options, warrants or other rights where upon exercise or conversion the purchaser or recipient receives shares of the common stock, or other securities with similar rights to the common stock, subject to certain standard carve-outs.

Equity [Abstract] | |
EQUITY ISSUANCES | Issuances of common stock for services During the year ended February 28, 2015, the Company issued 20,001 and 31,500 shares of common stock to consultants and members of its Board, respectively, that vested immediately, 12,987 shares of common stock to members of its Board that vested one year after issuance and 1,334 shares of common stock to a member of management that will vest upon the Company’s common stock being listed on a national stock exchange such as NASDAQ, New York Stock Exchange or NYSE MKT. The weighted average fair value of these shares of common stock amounted to $13.78 per share. During the year ended February 28, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with a consultant, whereby it shall pay $6,000 per month in immediately vested shares of the Company’s common stock, with the number of shares to be determined based on the closing price on the last trading date of each month. Under the agreement, the Company issued 3,837 shares of common stock. The fair value of the shares amounted to $31,076 on the issuance date, of which $30,000 was in general and administrative expenses and $1,076 was recorded in other expenses. As of February 28, 2015, the Company was obligated to issue shares for equivalent amount of $12,000. During the year ended February 28, 2015, the Company modified the vesting term of 16,668 shares of common stock previously issued to certain members of its Board, resulting in the shares being fully vested upon modification. As a result of the modification, the Company recognized a compensation charge of $192,500 equal to the fair value of these shares on the date of modification. During the year ended February 29, 2016, the Company issued an aggregate of 28,001 shares of common stock to consultants for services that vested immediately and 6,667 shares of common stock to a consultant for services that vested over 6 months. The weighted average fair value of these shares of common stock amounted to $4.96. During the year ended February 29, 2016, the Company terminated a contract with a consultant whereby the consultant returned an aggregate of 4,222 shares of common stock previously issued to the consultant and the Company reduced stock-based expense in the amount of $22,164. During the year ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, the Company recognized $220,547 and $746,208, respectively, of share-based compensation related to common stock issued for services, all of which was recognized into general and administrative expense. Settlement During the year ended February 29, 2016, the Company entered into a settlement agreement to settle a dispute with two affiliated security holders in which the Company paid $150,000, in exchange for the cancellation of all Company securities held by such parties, which included an aggregate of 10,728 shares of common stock, 1,667 common stock purchase warrants with an exercise price of $31.50 and 5,001 common stock purchase warrants with an exercise price of $22.50. Additionally, the Company reimbursed $3,000 of legal expenses to the two affiliated security holders. The Company recorded the fair value of the instruments as a reduction of equity as equity instruments were cancelled and recognized a settlement expense of $39,097 for the excess of the amount paid over the fair value of the cancelled equity instruments. Purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC During the year ended February 28, 2015, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the “LPC Purchase Agreement”), together with a registration rights agreement (the “LPC Registration Rights Agreement”), with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“LPC”) effective October 10, 2014. Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the LPC Purchase Agreement, we have the right to sell to and LPC is obligated to purchase up to $10 million in shares of our common stock subject to certain limitations, from time to time, over the 24-month period commencing on the date that a registration statement, which the Company agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to the LPC Registration Rights Agreement, is declared effective by the SEC and a final prospectus in connection therewith is filed. We may direct LPC, at its sole discretion and subject to certain conditions, to purchase up to 2,000 shares of common stock on any business day, provided that at least one business day has passed since the most recent purchase, increasing to up to 6,667 shares, depending upon the closing sale price of the common stock (such purchases, “Regular Purchases”). However, in no event shall a Regular Purchase be more than $500,000. The purchase price of shares of common stock related to the future funding will be based on the prevailing market prices of such shares at the time of sales, but in no event will shares be sold to LPC on a day the common stock closing price is less than the floor price as set forth in the LPC Purchase Agreement. In addition, we may direct LPC to purchase additional amounts as accelerated purchases if on the date of a Regular Purchase the closing sale price of the common stock is not below the threshold price as set forth in the LPC Purchase Agreement. In connection with the LPC Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 13,334 shares of common stock to LPC as a fee, and may issue up to 26,667 additional shares of common stock pro rata only if and as the $10 million is funded by LPC. The fair value of the 13,334 issued shares of common stock amounted to $140,000 on the grant date, which was recorded as a stock-based compensation during the year ended February 28, 2015, as the Company did not expect to close an offering with LPC within ninety days of the issuance of these shares. The LPC Purchase Agreement and the LPC Registration Rights Agreement contain customary representations, warranties, agreements and conditions to completing future sale transactions, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The LPC Registration Rights Agreement does not contain any obligation for the Company to make payments to LPC if a registration statement has not been filed with the SEC. We have the right to terminate the LPC Purchase Agreement at any time, at no cost or penalty. Actual sales of shares of common stock to LPC under the LPC Purchase Agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by us from time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the common stock and determinations by us as to the appropriate sources of funding for us and our operations. There are no trading volume requirements or restrictions under the LPC Purchase Agreement. LPC has no right to require any sales by us, but is obligated to make purchases from us as it directs in accordance with the LPC Purchase Agreement. LPC has covenanted not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct or indirect short selling or hedging of our shares. The net proceeds under the LPC Purchase Agreement to us will depend on the frequency and prices at which we sell shares of our common stock to LPC. We expect that any proceeds received by us from such sales to LPC under the LPC Purchase Agreement will be used for general corporate purposes and working capital requirements. As of February 29, 2016, the Company did not file the registration statement in connection with the LPC Registration Rights Agreement, and have not directed any sales of common stock pursuant to the LPC Purchase Agreement. Common stock financing – the Qualified Financing During the year ended February 28, 2015, the Company issued 314,269 shares of common stock and 500,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to certain accredited investors that entered into a securities purchase agreement effective June 30, 2014 (the “Qualified Financing Purchase Agreement”), whereby the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $5,735,427, of which $4,092,427 represents the automatic conversion of outstanding convertible promissory notes with principal amounts totaling $3,357,000 and related interest amounts as referenced in Note 10 below (the “Qualified Financing”). The net proceeds from this transaction amounted to $1,643,000. Included in the net proceeds is the receipt of $100,000 from an investor that was concurrently paid $100,000 for due diligence and legal fees by the Company. $1,000,000 of these proceeds was generated from the sale of marketable securities transferred to the Company by an investor (see Note 12). During the year ended February 28, 2015, the Company completed a second closing effective July 14, 2014 under the Qualified Financing Purchase Agreement whereby the Company issued 12,546 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $207,000.

(QTMM), a public reporting company whose shares of common stock are eligible for quotation on the OTCQB, effective October 14, 2014 (the “October 2014 Private Placement”). We recorded the issuance of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in connection with the October 2014 Private Placement based on the fair value of the consideration received, which amounted to $256,633.

In addition, pursuant to the Series B Purchase Agreement, the Company shall issue series A warrants (the “Series A Warrants”) to purchase up to 317,500 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price per share of $10.50 and issued series B warrants (the “Series B Warrants”) to purchase 30,334 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price per share of $8.25 to the Series B Investors who purchased a minimum of $500,000 of Series B Preferred Stock on or before December 31, 2014. The Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants expire on March 31, 2020. Pursuant to the initial closing of the Series B Private Placement on December 31, 2014, the Company issued 228.6363 shares of Series B Preferred Stock convertible into 152,426 shares of common stock, Series A Warrants to purchase 114,319 shares of common stock and Series B Warrants to purchase 30,334 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1,257,500, of which $65,000 was paid through the conversion of short-term outstanding indebtedness (See Note 10) and $25,000 was paid through the exchange of accrued liabilities due to certain members of our Board of Directors. In connection with the December 31, 2014 closing of the Series B Private Placement, the placement agent was paid a cash fee of $105,080, including expense allowance, and was issued an aggregate of 9,710 Series A Warrants. On the grant date, the fair value of the placement agent warrants was $46,592, which was recorded as a stock issuance cost. Net proceeds amounted to $1,132,584 after deducting offering expenses to be paid in cash, including the placement agent fees and legal fees. Series B preferred stock financing – the 2015 Series B Private Placement During the year ended February 29, 2016, the Company entered into an amended and restated securities purchase agreement (the “A&R Series B Purchase Agreement”) on March 27, 2015 and March 31, 2015 with a number of new and existing Series B Investors, pursuant to which it sold $2,130,750 of Series B Preferred Stock convertible into common stock at $8.25 per share in the Series B Private Placement. In addition, pursuant to the A&R Series B Purchase Agreement, the Company issued Series A Warrants to purchase up to 193,708 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price per share of $10.50 to the Series B Investors. The Series A Warrants expire on March 31, 2020. Pursuant to the closings of the Series B Private Placements in March 2015, the Company issued 387.4088 shares of Series B Preferred Stock convertible into 258,281 shares of common stock and Series A Warrants to purchase 193,708 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $2,130,750, of which $18,000 represents the exchange of stock-based compensation to a consultant that was to be settled in the form of shares of common stock but was actually settled with Series B Preferred Stock and Series A Warrants. As a result of the exchange, the Company recorded an additional $12,695 of stock-based compensation. In connection with the March 2015 closings of the Series B Private Placement, the placement agents were paid a total cash fee of $147,451 including expense allowances and reimbursements, and were issued an aggregate of 20,668 Series A Warrants. On the grant dates, the fair value of the placement agent warrants amounted to $158,441 and was recorded as a stock issuance cost. Net proceeds amounted to $1,945,244 after deducting offering expenses to be paid in cash, including the placement agent fees and legal fees and other expense. Accounting for the Series B Preferred Stock The Company determined the Series B Preferred Stock should be classified as equity as it is not mandatorily redeemable, and there are no unconditional obligations in that (1) the Company must or may settle in a variable number of its equity shares and (2) the monetary value is predominantly (a) fixed, (b) varying with something other than the fair value of the Company’s equity shares or (c) varying inversely in relation to the Company’s equity shares. Because the Series B Preferred Stock contain certain embedded features that could affect the ultimate settlement of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Company analyzed the instrument for embedded derivatives that require bifurcation. The Company’s analysis began with determining whether the Series B Preferred Stock is more akin to equity or debt. The Company evaluated the following criteria/features in this determination: redemption, voting rights, collateral requirements, covenant provisions, creditor and liquidation rights, dividends, conversion rights and exchange rights. The Company determined that the preponderance of evidence suggests the Series B Preferred Stock was more akin to equity than to debt when evaluating the economic characteristics and risks of the entire Series B Preferred Stock, including the embedded features. The Company then evaluated the embedded features to determine whether their economic characteristics and risks were clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the Series B Preferred Stock. Since the Series B Preferred Stock was determined to be more akin to equity than debt, and the underlying that causes the value of the embedded features to fluctuate would be the value of the Company’s common stock, the embedded features were considered clearly and closely related to the Series B Preferred Stock. As a result, the embedded features would not need to be bifurcated from the Series B Preferred Stock. Any beneficial conversion features related to the exercise of the Most Favored Nation exchange right or the application of the Mandatory Conversion provision will be recognized upon the occurrence of the contingent events based on its intrinsic value at the commitment date. Accounting for the Series B Warrants The Series B Warrants issued in the Series B Private Placement contain an adjustment clause affecting the exercise price of the Series B Warrants, which may be reduced if the Company issues shares of common stock or convertible securities at a price below the then-current exercise price of the Series B Warrants. As a result, we determined that the Series B Warrants were not indexed to the Company’s common stock and therefore should be recorded as a derivative liability, based on their fair value at the time of issuance. The fair value of Series B Warrants will be re-measured at each reporting period, and any resultant changes in fair value will be recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. Accounting for the Series A Warrants The Company concluded the freestanding Series A Warrants did not contain any provision that would require liability classification and therefore should be classified in stockholder’s equity, based on their relative fair value. Allocation of Proceeds of the 2014 Series B Private Placement For the year ended February 28, 2015, the $1,257,500 proceeds of the Series B Private Placement were allocated first to the Series B Warrants based on their fair value, and then to the Series B Preferred Stock and Series A Warrant instruments based on their relative fair values. A Monte Carlo simulation approach was used to determine the fair value of the Series B Warrants at issuance, which was $154,700 (see Note 13 for inputs to the Monte Carlo simulation). The remaining proceeds of $1,102,800 were then allocated between the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series A Warrants, based on the relative fair value. The Series B Preferred Stocks were valued on an as-if-converted basis based on the underlying Common Stock. The Series A Warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes model with the following input at the time of issuance: expected term of 5.25 years based on their contractual life, volatility of 123% based on the Company’s historical volatility and risk free rate of 1.65% based on the rate of the 5-years U.S. treasury bill. After allocation of the proceeds, the effective conversion price of the Series B Preferred Stock was determined to be beneficial and, as a result, the Company recorded a deemed dividend of $225,296 equal to the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature. Allocation of Proceeds of the 2015 Series B Private Placement For the year ended February 29, 2016, the $2,130,750 proceeds from the Series B Private Placement on March 27, 2015 and March 31, 2015 were allocated to the Series B Preferred Stock and Series A Warrant instruments based on their relative fair values. The Series B Preferred Stock was valued on an as-if-converted basis based on the underlying common stock. The Series A Warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted-average input at the time of issuance: expected term of 5.0 years based on their contractual life, volatility of 125% based on the Company’s historical volatility and risk free rate of 1.4% based on the rate of the 5-years U.S. treasury bill. After allocation of the proceeds, the effective conversion price of the Series B Preferred Stock was determined to be beneficial and, as a result, the Company recorded a non-cash deemed dividend of $1,067,491 equal to the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature. The Series B Registration Rights Agreement In connection with the closing of the Series B Private Placement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Series B Registration Rights Agreement”) with all the Series B Investors, in which the Company agreed to file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to register for resale the shares of common stock underlying the Series B Preferred Stock, the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants within 30 calendar days of the final closing date of March 31, 2015 (the “Filing Date”), and to have the registration statement declared effective within 120 calendar days of the Filing Date. If the Registration Statement has not been filed with the SEC on or before the Filing Date, the Company shall, on the business day immediately following the Filing Date, and each 15th day thereafter, make a payment to the Series B Investors as partial liquidated damages for such delay (together, the “Late Registration Payments”) equal to 2.0% of the purchase price paid for the Series B Preferred Stock then owned by the Series B Investors for the initial 15 day period and 1.0% of the purchase price for each subsequent 15 day period until the Registration Statement is filed with the SEC. Late Registration Payments will be prorated on a daily basis during each 15 day period and will be paid to the Series B Investors by wire transfer or check within five business days after the end of each 15 day period following the Filing Date. The Company filed the Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the SEC on April 10, 2015 and the Registration Statement was declared effective on July 29, 2015. As a result, no penalty was incurred. Deferred Offering Costs During the year ended February 29, 2016, the Company incurred approximately $171,386 of incremental costs in connection with a public offering of the Company’s common stock that was aborted. These costs have been charged to expense. |

During the year ended February 29, 2016, a total of 1,668 common stock purchase warrants with an exercise price of $31.50 per share and 5,001 common stock purchase warrants with an exercise price of $22.50 per share were repurchased and cancelled as part of a settlement of a dispute with two affiliated security holders (see Note 6).

NOTES PAYABLE | Promissory Note and Promissory Note Amendment During the year ended February 29, 2016, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement effective July 31, 2015 (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with one its existing institutional investors (the “Note Holder”). Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company issued and sold a non-convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $1.2 million (the “Promissory Note”) and a warrant (the “Note Warrant”) to purchase 43,636 shares of the Company’s common stock in a private placement (the “Note Private Placement”). The Promissory Note matures on July 30, 2016, accrues interest at a rate of eight percent (8%) per annum and may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to the maturity date without penalty or premium. The Note Holder has the right at its option to exchange (the “Note Voluntary Exchange”) the outstanding principal balance of the Promissory Note plus the Conversion Interest Amount (as defined below) into such number of securities to be issued in the Public Offering (as defined below). Upon effectuating such Note Voluntary Exchange, the Note Holder shall be deemed to be a purchaser in the Public Offering. ”Public Offering” means a registered offering of equity or equity-linked securities resulting in gross proceeds of at least $5.0 million to the Company; and “Conversion Interest Amount” means interest payable in an amount equal to all accrued but unpaid interest assuming the Promissory Note had been held from the issuance date to the maturity date. In the event the Company completes a Public Offering and the Note Holder elected not to effectuate the Note Voluntary Exchange, then the Company shall promptly repay the outstanding principal amount of the Promissory Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest following completion of the Public Offering. The Note Warrant contains an adjustment clause affecting its exercise price, which may be reduced if the Company issues shares of common stock or convertible securities at a price below the then-current exercise price of the Note Warrant. As a result, we determined that the Note Warrant was not indexed to the Company’s common stock and therefore should be recorded as a derivative liability. The detachable Note Warrant issued in connection with the Promissory Note was recorded as a debt discount based on its fair value (see Note 13 for fair value measurement). The adjustment clause lapses upon listing of the Company’s common stock on a national stock exchange such as the NASDAQ, New York Stock Exchange or NYSE MKT. The Company evaluated the Note Voluntary Exchange provision, which provides for settlement of the Promissory Note at an 8% premium to the Promissory Note’s stated principal amount, in accordance with ASC 815-15-25. The Voluntary Exchange provision is a contingent put that is not clearly and closely related to the debt host instrument and therefore was initially bifurcated and measured at fair value and recorded as a derivative liability in the consolidated balance sheet. The derivative liability will be measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations. The proceeds of the Note Private Placement were first allocated to the fair value of the Note Warrant in the amount of $150,544 and to the fair value of the Note Voluntary Exchange provision in the amount of approximately $227,740, with the difference of approximately $821,716 representing the initial carrying value of the Promissory Note. Further, approximately $105,000 of debt issuance cost was recorded as additional debt discount at issuance. On February 12, 2016, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Note Amendment”) with the Note Holder, whereby the Company and the Note Holder agreed to extend the maturity date of the Promissory Note from July 31, 2016 to December 31, 2016 and increase the interest rate commencing August 1, 2016 to 12% per annum. The Company also obtained the Note Holder’s consent to the consummation of the OID Note Private Placement (as defined below), as required under the Promissory Note. Additionally, the Note Voluntary Exchange was modified to effect a voluntary exchange of $600,000 principal amount (“Initial Exchange Principal Amount”) of the Promissory Note plus the Initial Conversion Interest Amount into a Qualified Offering (as defined below) or Public Offering. “Initial Conversion Interest Amount” shall mean interest payable in an amount equal to all accrued but unpaid interest assuming the Initial Exchange Principal Amount has been held from the issuance date to the original maturity date of July 31, 2016 (for the avoidance of doubt, such amount that is calculated using the following formula: (a) 8% multiplied by the Initial Exchange Principal Amount ($600,000), multiplied by (b) the actual number of days elapsed in a year of three hundred and sixty-five (365) days, which amount shall equal $48,000 in the aggregate). “Qualified Offering” mean one or a series of offerings of equity or equity-linked securities resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of at least $2,000,000 to the Company. Further, under the modified Note Voluntary Exchange, the Note Holder shall have the right to effect a voluntary exchange with respect to the remaining $600,000 principal amount (the “Remaining Principal Amount”) plus the Remaining Conversion Interest Amount into a Qualified Offering or Public Offering. “Remaining Conversion Interest Amount” shall mean interest payable in an amount equal to the sum of (A) all accrued but unpaid interest on such portion of the Remaining Principal Amount subject to such Voluntary Exchange assuming such portion of the Remaining Principal Amount had been held from the original maturity date of July 31, 2016 to the amended maturity date of December 31, 2016 (for the avoidance of doubt, such amount that is calculated using the following formula: (a) 12% multiplied by such portion of the Remaining Principal Amount subject to such Voluntary Exchange, multiplied by (b) the actual number of days elapsed in a year of three hundred and sixty-five (365) days, which amount shall equal $30,000 in the aggregate assuming the aggregate Remaining Principal Amount of $600,000 is used in such calculation), plus (B) all accrued but unpaid interest assuming such portion of the Remaining Principal Amount had been held from the issuance date to the original maturity date of July 31, 2016 (for the avoidance of doubt, such amount that is calculated using the following formula: (a) 8% multiplied by such portion of the Remaining Principal Amount, multiplied by (b) the actual number of days elapsed in a year of three hundred and sixty-five (365) days, which amount shall equal $48,000 in the aggregate assuming the aggregate Remaining Principal Amount of $600,000 is used in such calculation). In consideration for entering into the Note Amendment, the Company issued the Note Holder a warrant to purchase 43,636 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Amendment Warrant”) in substantially the same form as the Note Warrant issued in the Note Private Placement, provided, however, that with respect to the “full-ratchet” anti-dilution price protection adjustments for future issuances of other Company equity or equity-linked securities (subject to certain standard carve-outs), such price protection adjustment shall be equal to 110% of the consideration price per share of the issued equity or equity-linked securities. The Company evaluated the Note Amendment transaction in accordance with ASC 470-50-40-12 and determined the Note Amendment did not constitute a substantive modification of the Promissory Note and that the transaction should be accounted for as a debt modification. The Company evaluated the Voluntary Exchange provision, which provides for settlement of the Promissory Note at an 8% premium to the Promissory Note’s stated principal amount, in accordance with ASC 815-15-25. The Voluntary Exchange provision is a contingent put that is not clearly and closely related to the debt host instrument and therefore was initially separately measured at fair value and will be measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations. The Amendment Warrant contains an adjustment clause affecting its exercise price, which may be reduced if the Company issues shares of common stock or convertible securities at a price below the then-current exercise price of the Amendment Warrant. As a result, we determined that the Amendment Warrant was not indexed to the Company’s common stock and therefore should be recorded as a derivative liability. The fair value of the detachable Amendment Warrant issued in connection with the Note Amendment was recorded as a debt discount. The adjustment clause lapses upon the Company completing the Qualified Offering. As such, the Company recorded a debt discount related to the warrant liability of $84,552 and a debt discount related to the Voluntary Exchange of $103,806. During the year ended February 29, 2016, the Company recognized $300,675 of interest expense related to the Promissory Note, as amended, including amortization of debt discount of $244,675 and accrued interest expense of $56,000. Additionally, the Company recognized a loss of $8,433 in the year ended February 29, 2016 due to the change in estimated fair value of the Voluntary Exchange provision. OID Notes During the year ended February 29, 2016, the Company entered into an OID note purchase agreement dated February 12, 2016 (the “OID Note Purchase Agreement”) with various accredited investors (the “OID Note Holders”). Pursuant to the OID Note Purchase Agreement, the Company may issue and sell non-convertible OID promissory notes (the “OID Notes”) up to an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”) and warrants (the “OID Warrants”) to purchase 7,273 shares of the Company’s common stock for every $100,000 of Purchase Price in a private placement (the “OID Note Private Placement”). The OID Notes shall have an initial principal balance equal to 120% of the Purchase Price (the “OID Principal Amount”). During the year ended February 29, 2016, the Company received an aggregate Purchase Price of $500,000 and issued OID Notes in the aggregate OID Principal Amount of $600,000 and OID Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 36,367 shares of the Company’s common stock. The OID Notes mature six (6) months following the issuance date of each OID Note and may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to the maturity date without penalty or premium. In the event the OID Notes are prepaid in full on or before the date that is ninety (90) days following the issuance date of each OID Note, the prepayment amount shall be equal to 110% of the Purchase Price and in the event the OID Notes are prepaid following such initial ninety (90) day period, the prepayment amount shall be equal to the OID Principal Balance (the “Optional Redemption”). The Company determined the Optional Redemption feature represents a contingent call option. The Company evaluated the Optional Redemption provision in accordance with ASC 815-15-25. The Company determined that the Optional Redemption feature is clearly and closely related to the debt host instrument and is not an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation. Each OID Note Holder has the right at its option to act as a purchaser in a Qualified Offering and, in lieu of investing new cash subscriptions, mechanically effect a voluntary exchange exchange (the “OID Note Voluntary Exchange”) the OID Principal Amount of the OID Notes into such number of securities to be issued in a Qualified Offering. Upon effectuating such OID Voluntary Exchange, the OID Note Holders shall be deemed to be a purchaser in the Qualified Offering. The Company evaluated the OID Note Voluntary Exchange provision, which provides for settlement of the OID Notes at the OID Principal Amount in accordance with ASC 815-15-25. The Company determined the OID Note Voluntary Exchange provision is a contingent put that is not clearly and closely related to the debt host instrument and therefore was initially separately measured at fair value and will be measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations. The OID Principal Amount was first allocated to the fair value of the OID Warrants in the amount of $75,961, next to the value of the original issuance discount in the amount of $100,000, then to the fair value of the OID Note Voluntary Exchange provision in the amount of $134,841, and lastly to the debt discount related to offering costs of $13,758 with the difference of approximately $275,440 representing the initial carrying value of the OID Notes. During the year ended February 29, 2016, the Company recognized $8,637 of interest expense related to the OID Notes, including amortization of debt discount. Additionally, the Company recognized a loss of $1,582 in the year ended February 29, 2016 due to the change in estimated fair value of the OID Note Voluntary Exchange provision. The OID Warrants contain an adjustment clause affecting its exercise price, which may be reduced if the Company issues shares of common stock or convertible securities at a price below the then-current exercise price of the OID Warrants. As a result, we determined that the OID Warrants were not indexed to the Company’s common stock and therefore should be recorded as a derivative liability. The detachable OID Warrants issued in connection with the OID Notes were recorded as a debt discount based on their fair value (see Note 13 for fair value measurement). The adjustment clause lapses upon the Company completing the Qualified Offering.

The 2014 Convertible Notes bore interest at the rate of 8% per annum, originally matured on June 30 and August 15, 2014 and ranked pari passu Debt Discount and beneficial conversion feature The detachable warrants issued in connection with the 2014 Convertible Notes were recorded as a debt discount based on their relative fair value. The detachable warrants issued during the year ended February 28, 2015 had a weighted-average fair value of $14.55 per share, as calculated using the Black-Scholes model. Assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model included: (1) a discount rate of 1.64%; (2) an expected term of 5 years; (3) an expected volatility of 116.8%; and (4) zero expected dividends. The 2014 Convertible Notes issued during the year ended February 28, 2015 included a conversion feature that was in the money at the commitment date. The intrinsic value of the conversion feature was recorded as a debt discount at the time of issuance. The relative fair value of the warrants and the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature for the convertible notes issued during the years ended February 28, 2015 totaled $173,035 and was recorded as a discount to the convertible debt. During the year ended February 28, 2015, $379,672 was recognized as accretion expense related to the debt discount.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES HELD FOR SALE | As part of the June 30, 2014 Qualified Financing (see Note 6), the Company received 4,800,000 shares of common stock of Quantum Materials Corp (“Consideration Shares”) in lieu of $1.0 million of cash proceeds from an investor. In the event the Company did not receive gross proceeds of at least $1.0 million from the sale of the Consideration Shares by the earliest to occur of (i) September 28, 2014 or (ii) the date the Company has sold of the Consideration Shares, then the investor was obligated to make a payment to the Company equal to the difference between $1.0 million and the aggregate gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Consideration Shares. In the event the Company received gross proceeds of at least $1.0 million from the sale of the Consideration Shares within the 90 days following the closing date of the equity financing, the Company was obligated to immediately cease to sell the Consideration Shares and to return all the unsold Consideration Shares to the investor and any proceeds from the sale of the Consideration Shares in excess of the $1.0 million. The Company elected to account for the Consideration Shares and the related liability to the investor at fair value. As such any changes in fair value of the Consideration Shares and the related liability, which are expected to offset each other, are recorded in earnings. The Consideration Shares and the related liability due to investor are financial instruments which are considered Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy and whose value is based on quoted prices in active market. The Company generated $1.0 million of gross proceeds from the sale of 3,730,695 Consideration Shares through September 28, 2014. On October 14, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with the investor whereby the remaining 1,069,305 Consideration Shares were to remain with the Company in exchange for the issuance of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (see Note 6). As of February 28, 2015, the Company sold all remaining Consideration Shares for approximately $214,000 of gross proceeds and incurred a loss of approximately $42,000 on the holding and selling of the securities. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, financial instruments were measured at fair value using a three-level hierarchy which maximizes use of observable inputs and minimizes use of unobservable inputs: · Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments · Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments that are directly or indirectly observable in the market · Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity. Financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, for which determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. At February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, the warrant liability balances of $234,461 and $273,000, respectively, were classified as Level 3 instruments. The following table sets forth the changes in the estimated fair value for our Level 3 classified derivative warrant liability: Notes Payable Warrants Series B Warrants Total Fair value, February 28, 2015: $ $ 273,000 $ 273,000 Additions 311,057 - 311,057 Change in fair value: (122,706) (226,890) (349,596) Fair value, February 29, 2016: $ 188,351 $ 46,110 $ 234,461 The Series B Warrants contain an adjustment clause affecting the exercise price of the Series B warrants, which may be reduced if the Company issues shares of common stock or convertible securities at a price below the then-current exercise price of the Series B warrants. As a result, we determined that the Series B warrants were not indexed to the Company’s common stock and therefore should be recorded as a derivative liability. The Series B Warrants were measured at fair value on the issuance date using a Monte Carlo simulation and will be re-measured to fair value at each balance sheet date, and any resultant changes in fair value will be recorded in earnings. The Monte Carlo simulation as of February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015 used the following assumptions: (1) a stock price of $1.80 and $10.50, respectively; (2) a risk free rate of 1.08% and 1.50%, respectively; (3) an expected volatility of 134% and 125%, respectively; and (4) a fundraising event to occur on May 15, 2016 and September 30, 2015, respectively, that would result in the issuance of additional common stock. In connection with the issuance of the Promissory Note on July 31, 2015, the Company issued a warrant to purchase an aggregate of 43,636 shares of common stock. The warrant was issued on July 31, 2015, is exercisable at $8.25 per share and expires on July 31, 2020. The warrant contains a full-ratchet anti-dilution price protection provision that requires liability treatment. The fair value of the warrant at February 29, 2016 and July 31, 2015 was determined to be $64,438 and $150,544, respectively, as calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation. The Monte Carlo simulation as of February 29, 2016 and July 31, 2015 used the following assumptions: (1) stock price of $1.80 and $3.90, respectively; (2) a risk free rate of 1.13% and 1.58%, respectively; (3) an expected volatility of 134% and 128%, respectively; and (4) a fundraising event to occur on May 15, 2016 and November 30 2015, respectively, that would result in the issuance of additional common stock. In connection with the Note Amendment on February 12, 2016, the Company issued a warrant to purchase an aggregate of 43,636 shares of common stock. The warrant was issued on February 12, 2016, is exercisable at $8.25 per share and expires on February 11, 2021. The warrant contains a full-ratchet anti-dilution price protection provision that requires liability treatment. The fair value of the warrant at February 29, 2016 and February 12, 2016 was determined to be $68,292 and $84,552, respectively, as calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation. The Monte Carlo simulation as of February 29, 2016 and February 12, 2016 used the following assumptions: (1) stock price of $1.80 and $2.35, respectively; (2) a risk free rate of 1.20% and 1.21%, respectively; (3) an expected volatility of 134% and 134%, respectively; and (4) a fundraising event to occur on May 15, 2016 that would result in the issuance of additional common stock. In connection with the issuance of OID Notes in February 2016, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 36,367 shares of common stock. These warrants were issued on between February 12 and 22, 2016, are exercisable at $8.25 per share and expire between February 11 and 21, 2021. These warrants contain a full-ratchet anti-dilution price protection provision that requires liability treatment. The fair value of these warrants at February 29, 2016 and at issuance between February 12 and 22, 2016 was determined to be $55,621 and $75,961, respectively, as calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation. The Monte Carlo simulation as of February 29, 2016 and between February 12 and 22, 2016 used the following weighted-average assumptions: (1) stock price of $1.80 and $2.37, respectively; (2) a risk free rate of 1.21% and 1.22%, respectively; (3) an expected volatility of 134% and 134%, respectively; and (4) a fundraising event to occur on May 15, 2016 that would result in the issuance of additional common stock. At February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, the put exchange feature liability balances of $476,402 and $0, respectively, were classified as Level 3 instruments. The following table sets forth the changes in the estimated fair value for our Level 3 classified put exchange feature liabilities: Promissory Note, as amended OID Notes Total Fair value, February 28, 2015: $ - $ - $ - Additions 331,546 134,841 466,387 Change in fair value: 8,433 1,582 10,015 Fair value, February 29, 2016: $ 339,979 $ 133,259 $ 476,402 The Promissory Note issued on July 31, 2015, as amended on February 12, 2016, contains a Note Voluntary Exchange provision that is a contingent put that requires liability treatment (see Note 9). The fair value of this put exchange feature at issuance on July 31, 2015, on the amendment date of February 12, 2016 and at February 29, 2016 was determined to be $227,740, $103,806, and $339,979, respectively. The fair value was calculated using a probability weighted present value methodology. The significant inputs to the fair value model were 1) the timing of a qualified offering expected to incur in November 2015 at July 31, 2015 and May 2016 at both February 12 and 29, 2016 2) the combined probability of both a qualified offering and a voluntary exchange to occur, which was determined to be 100% at July 31, 2015 and 81% at both February 12 and 29, 2016 and 3) a discount rate of 18%, approximating high yield distressed debt rates, used for all measurement dates. The OID Notes issued between February 12 and 22, 2016 contain an OID Note Voluntary Exchange provision that is a contingent put that requires liability treatment (see Note 9). The fair value of this put exchange feature at issuance between February 12 and 22, 2016 and at February 29, 2016 and was determined to be $134,841 and $133,259, respectively, as calculated using a probability weighted present value methodology. The significant inputs to the fair value model at all measurement dates were 1) the timing of a qualified offering expected to incur in May 2016, 3) the combined probability of both a qualified offering and a voluntary exchange to occu |

Income Taxes | |
INCOME TAXES | During the fiscal years ended February 29, 2016, and February 28, 2015, MetaStat incurred net losses and, therefore, has no tax liability. The difference between income taxes at the statutory federal income tax rate and income taxes reported in the statements of operations are attributable to the following: February 29, 2016 February 28, 2015 Income tax benefit at the federal statutory rate 34 % 34 % Permanent differences (2) % (3 )% Increase in valuation allowance (32) % (31 )% Provision for income tax 0 % 0 % At February 29, 2016, and February 28, 2015, d eferred tax assets (liabilities) consisted of the following: February 29, February 28, 2016 2015 Accrued compensation $ 87,969 $ Accrued interest 23,520 Net operating loss carryovers 5,555,259 4,058,611 Research and development credits 130,422 Capital loss carryover 25,421 Stock compensation 1,491,106 1,183,918 7,313,697 5,242,529 Depreciation (76,987 ) (10,273 ) 7,236,710 5,232,256 Less: Valuation allowance (7,236,710 ) (5,232,256 ) Net deferred tax asset $ — $ — In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management determines whether it is more likely than not some, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the carryforward period as well as the period in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the reversal of taxable temporary differences, projected taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon historical losses and the possibility of continued taxabl At February 29, 2016, the cumulative federal and state net operating loss carry-forwards are approximately $14.7 million and $10.4 million, respectively and, and will expire between 2029 and 2035. The Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) limits the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that a company may use in a given year in the event of certain cumulative changes in ownership over a three-year period as described in Section 382 of the IRC. We have not performed a detailed analysis to determine whether an ownership change has occurred. Such a change of ownership could limit our utilization of the net operating losses, and could be triggered by subsequent sales of securities by the Company or its stockholders. The Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within income tax expense. The Company had not accrued any interest or penalties related to unrecognized benefits. No amounts were provided for unrecognized tax benefits attributable to uncertain tax positions as of February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015. The Company is no longer subject to Federal income tax assessment for years before 2011. However, since the Company has incurred net operating losses every year since inception, all of its income tax returns are subject to examination and adjustments by the Internal Revenue Service for at least three years following the year in which the tax attributes are utilized. |

Subsequent Events [Abstract] | |
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS | Lease Agreement Effective April 6, 2016, the Company entered into an amendment to the Boston Lease (the “Boston Lease Amendment”) whereby the Company extended the term by one year from September 1, 2016 to August 31, 2017. The basic rent payable under the Boston Lease Amendment is $17,164 per month plus additional monthly payments, including tax payments and operational and service costs. Appointment of New Director Effective as of April 25, 2016, Jerome B. Zeldis, M.D., Ph.D. was appointed to the Company’s Board and will serve as Vice Chairman of the Board. Dr. Zeldis is currently the chief medical officer of Celgene Corporation and the chief executive officer of Celgene Global Health. The Board has agreed to grant Dr. Zeldis an aggregate of 100,000 non-qualified stock options. The stock options shall provide for vesting as follows: (i) 50% or 50,000 shares shall vest as follows: (a) 16,668 shares on the first anniversary of the grant date, (b) 16,666 shares on the second anniversary of the grant date, and (c) 16,666 on the third anniversary of the grant date, and (ii) the remaining 50% or 50,000 shares shall vest upon the consummation of a business development or similar joint venture transaction with a strategic partner that contains a minimum upfront payment to the Company of at least $10 million within 18 months of appointment or October 25, 2017. The stock options shall be granted on the date of closing of the Company’s next equity or equity-linked financing (the “Offering”) and provide for an exercise price equal to the effective price per share of the Offering, provided however n the effective price per share in the Offering, then the exercise price shall equal the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. Consulting Services Effective as of April 26, 2016, the Company entered into consulting agreement with a consultant to provide business advisory services, including public relations and market awareness for a two-month term (the “Services”). The Consultant will be issued 25,000 shares of restricted common stock for the Services and to settle $32,000 of accounts payable. Common Stock and Warrant Financing On May 26, 2016, the Company entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with a number of accredited investors (collectively, the “Investors”) pursuant to which the Company may sell up a maximum of (the “Maximum Offering”) 500 units or $5,000,000, subject to increase of the Maximum Offering by up to 225 units or $2,250,000 (the “Over-Allotment”), with each unit consisting of (i) 5,000 shares of common stock, and (ii) and five-year warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 2,500 shares of common stock (the “Warrant Shares”), at a purchase price of $3.00 per share. The offering price is $10,000 per unit. Pursuant to the initial closing of the private placement under the Subscription Agreement, the Company issued an aggregate of 200 units consisting of an aggregate of 100,000 shares of common stock and 50,000 Warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000. After deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $162,000. Additionally, the Company will issue an aggregate of 10,000 placement agent warrants in substantially the same form as the Warrants. Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into by the parties, the Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC providing for the resale of the shares of common stock and the Warrant Shares issued pursuant to the private placement on or before the date which is ninety (90) days after the date of the final closing of the private placement. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective within one hundred fifty (150) days from the filing date. |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUN24
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Feb. 29, 2016 | |
Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies Policies | |
Use of Estimates | The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, including contingencies. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from date of purchase to be cash equivalents. All cash balances were highly liquid at February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015. |
Concentration of Credit Risk | Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company primarily maintains its cash balances with financial institutions in federally insured accounts. The Company may from time to time have cash in banks in excess of FDIC insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses to date resulting from this practice. The Company mitigates its risk by maintaining the majority of its cash and equivalents with high quality financial institutions. |
Equipment | Equipment is stated at cost. The cost of equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods for income tax purposes. Expenditures for major renewals or betterments that extend the useful lives of equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. |
Long-lived Assets | Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or conditions indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the related asset or group of assets, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the asset or group of assets. There was no impairment of long-lived assets as of February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015. |
Debt issuance Costs | We have early adopted ASU-No. 2015-03, “Interest – Imputation of Interest” and are recording debt issuance costs as a direct reduction of the carrying amount of the related debt. Debt issuance costs are amortized over the maturity period of the related debt instrument using the effective interest method. |
Debt Instruments | We analyze debt issuance for various features that would generally require either bifurcation and derivative accounting, or recognition of a debt discount or premium under authoritative guidance. Detachable warrants issued in conjunction with debt are measured at their relative fair value, if they are determined to be equity instrument, or their fair value, if they are determined to be liability instruments, and recorded as a debt discount. Conversion features that are in the money at the commitment date constitute a beneficial conversion feature that is measured at its intrinsic value and recognized as debt discount. Debt discount is amortized as interest expense over the maturity period of the debt using the effective interest method. Contingent beneficial conversion features are recognized when the contingency has been resolved. |
Fair Value Measurements | The Company groups its assets and liabilities measured at fair value in three levels based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Financial instruments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: Level 1 – Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 – Valuation is based on observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 – Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, some discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the financial instrument. The Company recognizes transfers between levels as if the transfers occurred on the last day of the reporting period. |
Revenues | We currently do not have any revenues. We expect to derive our revenues from sale of our products, which are currently under development. |
Net Loss Per Share | Basic net loss per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Restricted shares issued with vesting conditions that have not been met at the end of the period are excluded from the computation of the weighted average shares. As of February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, 11,536 and 24,522, respectively, restricted shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of the weighted average shares. Diluted net loss per common share is calculated giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period. Diluted potential common shares generally consist of incremental shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants and conversion of outstanding options and warrants and shares issuable from convertible securities, as well as nonvested restricted shares. In computing diluted loss per share for the years ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, no effect has been given to the common shares issuable at the end of the period upon the conversion or exercise of the following securities as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive: February 29, 2016 February 28, 2015 Stock options 426,976 187,334 Warrants 913,514 580,515 Preferred stock 497,527 210,708 Total 1,838,017 978,557 |
Income Taxes | Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to net operating loss carry forwards and temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. These assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded if it more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods. |
Research and Development Costs | Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred and are included in operating expenses. Research and development costs consist principally of compensation cost for our employees and consultants that perform our research activities, the fees paid to maintain our licenses, the payments to third parties for clinical testing and additional product development, and consumables and other materials used in research and development. Research and development costs were $1,360,739 and $1,266,158 for the years ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, respectively. |
Stock-Based Compensation | We account for share-based payments award issued to employees and members of our Board of Directors (the “Board”) by measuring the fair value of the award on the date of grant and recognizing this fair value as stock-based compensation using a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, generally the vesting period. For awards issued to non-employees, the measurement date is the date when the performance is complete or when the award vests, whichever is the earliest. Accordingly, non-employee awards are remeasured at each reporting period until the final measurement date. The fair value of the award is recognized as stock-based compensation over the requisite service period, generally the vesting period. For awards with performance conditions that affect their vesting, such as the occurrence of certain transactions or the achievement of certain operating or financial milestones, recognition of fair value of the award over the requisite service period begins when vesting becomes probable. For awards with market conditions that affect their vesting, the fair value of the award is recognized as stock-based compensation over the requisite service period, generally the vesting period. |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-15”), which establishes management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern in connection with preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period. ASU 2014-15 also provides guidance to determine whether to disclose information about relevant conditions and events when there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. This update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning December 15, 2016; early adoption is permitted. We do not believe the adoption of this standard will have an effect on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) Leases (Topic 840) In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2016-09"). ASU 2016-09 simplifies certain aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, an option to recognize gross stock compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur, as well as certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements. |
