(FORMERLY PACIFIC THERAPEUTICS LTD.)
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Year Ended December 31, 2016
Overview
This Management Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) has been prepared as of May 1, 2017 and the following information should be read in conjunction with Tower One Wireless Inc.’s (the “Issuer”, “Company”) audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 December 31, 2015, December 31, 2014 and together with the notes thereto. The Issuer’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).
On March 15, 2016, the Company completed a share consolidation on the basis of thirty pre-consolidation common shares for each post consolidation common share. Upon approval by the Canadian Securities Exchange the Company began trading under the existing symbol “TO” on March 15, 2016. As such, all current and comparative share amounts have been restated to account for the 30 to 1 common share consolidation.

Business Overview and Strategy
The Issuer is a development stage specialty pharmaceutical company. The Issuer was focused on developing late stage clinical therapies and in-licensed novel compounds for Fibrosis, Erectile Dysfunction (ED) and other indications. The Issuer’s lead compound for Fibrosis, PTL-202 is a combination of already approved drugs which have well established safety profiles. PTL-202 has completed a phase 1 drug/ drug interaction clinical trial. The Issuer’s lead product for Erectile Dysfunction PTL-2015 is an oral dissolving version of a top selling therapy for ED. PTL-2015 has completed a pilot bioavailability study in humans.
With the sale of its technology assets (related to fibrosis and erectile dysfunction) to Forge Therapeutics Inc., the Company’s main asset will be the 15,000,000 common shares that Forge has committed to issue to the Company.
The Company will look at other opportunities for growth. As a subsequent event to the year end, it has entered into a 50-50 joint-venture to develop an early stage immune boosting herbal supplement, BP120, with Truevita Supplements on March, 2016. This herbal supplement is aimed at the treatment of immune deficiency and hypertension.
The Issuer will continue to operate virtually, outsourcing all non-core activities such as pre-clinical research and clinical trials and manufacturing. The Issuer will continue to build core skills in managing clinical development of therapies, licensing and commercialization.
However, lack of interest in financing an early stage junior public company, the Company may be forced into partnering to help finance the development of BP120.
Overall Performance
The Issuer’s plan is to continue to operate virtually, outsourcing all non-core activities such as pre-clinical research and clinical trials and manufacturing. Also given the company’s inability to secure significant financing to move forward with its product candidates the company is looking into alternative solutions to maintain shareholder value as well as move the product candidates forward.

The Issuer’s net income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2016, totalled $(452,288) or ($0.09) per share (FYE 2015, $179,673 or $0.13 per share; FYE 2014, ($693,645) or $(0.56) per share). The main contributor to the Net Income in FYE 2015 compared to the loss in FYE 2014 is a non-operating gain from the debt assignment of $535,077 of debt, decrease in advertising and promotion, and investor relations. The main contributor to the increased loss in 2015 compared to FYE 2014 is due to the forgiveness of $535,077 of debt.
Revenues
The focus of management during fiscal 2015 was on preparing for further clinical trials of PTL-202 and PTL-2015 and then on selling its technology assets to Forge Therapeutics Inc.
The Issuer has no drug therapies approved or for sale and has not generated any revenue from the sale of drug therapies. The Issuer has not recognized any revenue since inception through December 31, 2016. The Issuer does not expect to receive any revenues until after the completion of the clinical trials for its herbal supplement BP120 except for an annual maintenace fee of $50,000 from Forge.
Research & Development Expense
Research and development expense consists primarily of salaries for management of research contracts and research contracts for pre-clinical studies, clinical studies and assay development as well as the development of clinical trial protocols and application to government agencies to conduct clinical trials, including consulting services fees related to regulatory issues and business development expenses related to the identification and evaluation of new drug candidates. Research and development costs are expensed as they are incurred.
From inception through to December 31, 2016, the Issuer incurred total expenses in the development of its intellectual property of $1,924,739, which includes $554,712 of research and development expenses (research and development expenses on the financial statements have been
7
offset by $53,277 in IRAP funding and $193,935 in SR&ED tax credits), $161,394 of professional fees and $1,208,633 of wages and benefits.

The lack of research expense in 2016, 2015 and 2014 is due to a lack of funds to conduct clinical trials on PTL-202.
Additional financing will be required to undertake some initial development work as part of its joint venture with Truevita. There is no assurance that such financing will be available or that the Issuer will have the capital to complete this proposed development and commercialization.
The Issuer was able to complete the formulation, drug/drug interaction study of PTL-202, analyzing the blood samples and analyzing the data from the drug/drug interaction trial in 2012 as planned. No further work on PTL-202 or its ED drugs will be undertaken, now that the asset is owned by Forge Therapeutics Inc. The Issuer’s clinical development studies on BP120 are subject to risks and uncertainties that may significantly impact its expense estimates and development schedules, including:
the scope, rate of progress and cost of the development of BP120;
the issuers ability to enroll subjects in clinical trials for current and future studies;
the Issuer’s ability to raise additional capital; and
the expense and timing of the receipt of regulatory approvals.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative costs consist primarily of personnel related costs, non-intellectual property related legal costs, accounting costs and other professional and administrative costs associated with general corporate activities.
8
Now PTL-202 and PTL-2015 clinical and development costs will be managed by Forge Pharmaceuticals, general and administrative expenses will be expected decrease.
Intellectual Property and Intangible Assets
All license and option fees paid to licensors for intellectual property licenses are capitalized to intangible assets on the Issuer’s financial statements. In addition, any expenses for intellectual property protection including patent lawyers services fees, and any filing fees with government agencies or the WIPO are capitalized to intangible assets. Now that its technology patents have been assigned to Forge Pharmaceuticals, patent costs are expected to decrease in the next twelve months.
Interest Income
Interest income consists of interest earned on the Issuers cash and cash equivalents. There was interest income in 2016 of $Nil (2015 - $Nil, 2014 – $Nil).
Profits
At this time, the Issuer is not anticipating profit from operations. Until such time as the Issuer is able to realize profits from the out licensing of products under development, the Issuer will report an annual deficit and will rely on its ability to obtain equity/or debt financing to fund on-going operations. For information concerning the business of the Issuer, please see “Business Overview and Strategy”.
Liquidity and Capital Resources and Outlook
The Issuer is a development stage company and therefore has no regular cash inflows. Selected financial data pertaining to liquidity and capital resources the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, are presented below.

At December 31, 2016, the Issuer had cash and cash equivalents of $1,378,183 (FYE 2015 - $Nil) and working capital (deficiency) of $1,468,473 (FYE 2015 – $(609,411)). Working capital is calculated as current assets less current liabilities.
Cash and cash equivalents increased by $1,378,183 between FYE 2016 and FYE 2015 due to an increase in financing and share subscription during the year and the Company incurring operating expenses.
Working Capital increased by $1,513 from FYE 2014 to FYE 2015 due to a decrease in financing during the year. Total liabilities decreased by $484,299 for the FYE December 31, 2016 when compared to the total liabilities at FYE 2015. The Issuer’s cash inflows from financing activities comprised proceeds from common share issuances, cash share subscriptions received, the repayment of a convertible note, a new convertible note and amounts loaned to the Company from shareholders.
10
Cash utilized in operating activities during FYE 2016 was $396,259 (FYE 2015 - $161,460 FYE 2014 - $366,769 ). The increase in cash utilized in operations during 2016 as compared to 2015 was due to increase in professional fees and other expenses. The decrease in cash utilized in operations during 2015 as compared to 2014 was due to a gain resulting on forgiveness of debt, decrease in advertising and promotion, investor relations and professional fees. This decrease was offset by an increase in expenses for insurance, convertible note accretion and interest and transfer agent fees.
At December 31, 2016, share capital was $3,292,175 comprising 6,735,885 issued and outstanding common shares and Nil issued and outstanding preferred shares (FYE 2015 - $2,800,010 comprising 1,365,887 issued and outstanding common shares and Nil issued and outstanding preferred shares). The Issuer intends to issue additional shares increasing its share capital to fund future research and development and operations.
Contributed surplus, which arises from the recognition of the estimated fair value of stock options and warrants, was for $563,568 for FYE 2016 (FYE 2015 -$121,939).
As a result of the Net Income (loss) for FYE 2016 of $452,288 (FYE 2015 of $179,673), FYE 2014 of $(693,645), the deficit at December 31, 2016 increased to $3,989,527 from $3,537,239 at December 31, 2015.
During the FYE 2016, the Issuer’s net cash provided by financing activities increased to $1,774,582 (FYE 2015 - $165,376, FYE 2014 - $197,785).
At present, the Issuer’s operations do not generate cash inflows and its financial success after 2014 is dependent on management’s ability to continue to obtain sufficient funding to sustain operations through the development stage and successfully bring the Issuer’s technologies to the point that they may be out licensed so that the Issuer achieves profitable operations. The research and development process can take many years and is subject to factors that are beyond the Issuer’s control.
In order to finance the Issuer’s future research and development and to cover administrative and overhead expenses in the coming years the Issuer may raise money through equity sales. Many factors influence the Issuer’s ability to raise funds, including the Issuer’s track record, and the experience and calibre of its management. Actual funding requirements may vary from those planned due to a number of factors, including the progress of research activities. Management believes it will be able to raise equity capital as required in the long term, but recognizes there will be risks involved that may be beyond their control. Should those risks fully materialize, it may not be able to raise adequate funds to continue its operations.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Issuer is not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on the Issuer’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
11

There were no amounts due to the Issuer from shareholders in either fiscal year.
Fourth Quarter
The table below sets out the unaudited quarterly results for the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2016, December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014

Loss per share | $(0.00) | $(0.00) | $(0.01) |
The Issuer does not anticipate earning any revenue in the foreseeable future.
Net loss, quarter over quarter is influenced by a number of factors including the scope and stage of clinical development and research. Consequently, expenses may vary from quarter to quarter. General and administrative expenses are dependent on the infrastructure required to support the clinical and business development activities of the Issuer. A material increase in research and development as well as general and administrative costs is anticipated over the short term, as the Issuers research and development and regulatory activities increase
Proposed Transactions
As at the date of this MD&A, there are no business or asset acquisitions or dispositions proposed other than those in the ordinary course of business before the Board for consideration.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The Issuer’s accounting policies are presented in Note 3 of the December 31, 2015 audited financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires
12
management to select accounting policies and make estimates. Such estimates may have a significant impact on the financial statements. Actual amounts could differ materially from the estimates used and, accordingly, affect the results of the operations. These include:
the assumptions used for the determinations of the timing of future income tax events
the carrying values of intangible assets, technology license and patents, and other long lived assets
the valuation of stock-based compensation expense
the carrying value of a derivative liability
Financial Instruments
The Issuer’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trades payable and accrued liabilities, , balances due to related parties , the liability portion of the convertible note, and the derivative component of the convertible note. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Issuer is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. Cash and cash equivalents amounts are classified as fair value through profit or loss and due to related parties and the liability portion of the convertible note are classified as financial liabilities and are carried at amortized cost. The derivative liability is carried at fair value with re-measurement to fair value at the end of each reporting period. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their carrying values due to their short-term maturity or capacity for prompt liquidation.
Foreign exchange risk is the risk arising from changes in foreign currency fluctuations. The Issuer does not use any derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency rates. It is the opinion of management that the foreign exchange risk to which the Issuer is exposed is minimal.
Limitations of Controls and Procedures
The Issuer’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believe that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, they cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Issuer have been prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by unauthorized override of the control. The design of any systems of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in a cost effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
