Capital Shares | Reverse Share Split On June 7, 2019, the Company effected a reverse split of the Company's common shares at a ratio of 1-for-6. As a result of the reverse split, every six shares of the issued and outstanding common shares, without par value, consolidated into one newly issued outstanding common share, without par value, after fractional rounding. All shares and exercise prices are presented on a post-split basis in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements. Equity Offering On January 8, 2020, the Company closed a registered direct offering of 1,354,691 common shares, no par value and a concurrent private placement of Class A Purchase Warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 1,016,036 common shares and Class B Purchase Warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 677,358 common shares. Gross proceeds from the offering amounted to $4,360,500. The Class A Purchase Warrants are exercisable on or after July 8, 2020, at an exercise price of $4.80 per share and will expire on July 8, 2023. The Class B Purchase Warrants are exercisable on or after July 8, 2020, at an exercise price of $4.00 per share and will expire on November 8, 2020. In connection with the offering, the Company also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 12,364 common shares to certain affiliated designees of the placement agent as part of the placement agent’s compensation. The placement agent warrants are exercisable on or after July 6, 2020, at an exercise price of $3.20 per share, and will expire on January 6, 2025. The warrants are considered contracts on the Company’s own shares and are classified as equity. The Company allocated gross proceeds with $3,070,358 as the value of common shares and $1,008,743 as the value of Class A Purchase Warrants and $281,399 as the value of Class B Purchase Warrants under additional paid-in capital in the condensed interim consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity on a relative fair value basis. The direct costs related to the issuance of the common shares and warrants were $468,699. These direct costs were recorded as an offset against gross proceeds with $330,025 being recorded under common shares and $138,674 being recorded under additional paid-in capital on a relative fair value basis. The Company also recorded the fair value of placement agent warrants in the amount of $18,051 as share based compensation to nonemployees under additional paid-in capital and an offset against gross proceeds with $12,710 being recorded under common shares and $5,341 being recorded under additional paid-in capital on a relative fair value basis. Black-Scholes option valuation model The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to determine the fair value of share-based compensation for share options and compensation warrants granted and the fair value of warrants issued. Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected price volatility. The Company calculates expected volatility based on historical volatility of the Company’s share price. When there is insufficient data available, the Company uses a peer group that is publicly traded to calculate expected volatility. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates, and therefore the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s warrants and share options.

Prior to conversion, the Class A preferred shares had the following features. The Class A preferred shares were voting and convertible into common shares at the option of the holder at any time. Upon the occurrence of a liquidation event, as defined in the resolutions of the shareholders dated August 28, 2017, the Class A preferred shares had a liquidation amount preference over the rights of holders of common shares or any class of shares ranking junior to Class A preferred shares. The Class A preferred shares also contained an 8% preferred return that accrued daily and compounded annually and was payable in shares upon conversion. The Company evaluated the Class A preferred shares and the embedded conversion option. The embedded conversion option did not meet the criteria for bifurcation and therefore was classified to equity. |
