CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES AND DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS [Text Block] |
14 . | CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES AND DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS
| a) | $40,357 Unsecured Convertible Debentures
On August 6, 2014, the Company issued CAD $1,549,000 (1,398,342) face value 12% convertible debentures with a term to August 6, 2017 (the “Maturity Date”). At any time while the debentures are outstanding, the holder has the option to convert the outstanding principal of the debentures into common shares of the Company at a fixed conversion price of CAD $0.50 ($0.39) per share. At any time after February 6, 2015, the Company has the right to force the conversion of the debentures into common shares at a price of at least CAD$0.65 ($0.50) per common share for a period of at least 20 consecutive trading days. If the common shares do not trade on any trading day and the bid price of the common shares is CAD $0.65 ($0.50) or greater, the common shares shall be deemed to have traded at a price of at least CAD $0.65 ($0.50) on that trading day. Additionally, the Company has the right to redeem the debentures, in whole or in part, (a) during the 12 months ending August 6, 2015, at a premium of 15% to the principal amount being redeemed plus any accrued interest, (b) during the 12 months ending August 6, 2016, at a premium of 5% to the principal amount being redeemed plus any accrued interest, (c) during the 12 months ending August 6, 2017, at a premium of 2% to the principal amount being redeemed plus any accrued interest. In connection with the financing, the Company issued warrants to placement agents to purchase 151,900 shares of common stock at an exercise price of CAD $0.50 ($0.39) per share. Additionally, the Company incurred $157,293 in financing fees. During the year ended November 30, 2017, the Company recorded $16,753 (November 30, 2016 - $168,292) in interest expense. The Company evaluated the terms and conditions of the convertible debentures and placement agent warrants under the guidance of ASC 815. The conversion feature met the definition of conventional convertible for purposes of applying the conventional convertible exemption. The definition of conventional contemplates a fixed number of shares issuable under the arrangement. The instrument was convertible into a fixed number of shares and there were no down round anti-dilution protection features contained in the contracts. The Company was required to consider whether the hybrid contract embodied a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). The debentures did not result in a BCF because the conversion price was not in the money on the inception date. There were no terms or features contained in the warrant agreement that would preclude the warrants from achieving equity classification. The following table reflects the allocation of the purchase on the financing date:
| Convertible debentures - face value | $ | 1,398,342 |
| Proceeds | $ | (1,279,773 | )
| Deferred financing costs |  | (190,876 | )
| Paid in capital (warrants) |  | 33,583 |
| Prepaid expenses |  | 16,681 |
| Accrued expenses |  | 21,793 |
| Convertible debentures |  | 1,398,592 |
As of November 30, 2016, these unsecured convertible debentures, net of unamortized deferred financing costs, were recorded at $1,117,771 on exchange rate conversion. On December 7, 2016, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement to sell $1,500,000 of 10% senior secured convertible debentures, convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, in a private placement. The sale of the secured notes was closed on December 7, 2016 (see Note 14(b)). A condition to the sale of the secured notes was the exchange of at least 80% in principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 12% Unsecured Debentures, which mature on August 6, 2017 (the “Unsecured Debentures”) for an equal principal amount of Subordinate Secured Debentures. Concurrent with the sale of the Secured Notes, CAD$1,363,000 ($1,015,026) of the Company’s outstanding Unsecured Debentures, which represented approximately 88% of the outstanding Unsecured Debentures, were exchanged for an equal principal amount of the Subordinate Secured Debentures.

On August 6, 2017, the Company repaid CAD $84,000 ($66,640) of convertible debentures and the remaining convertible debenture holders executed agreements for forbearance of their debt with a new repayment date of February 16, 2018. On November 28, 2017, principal of CAD $50,000 ($39,159) plus accrued interest of $1,300 was converted to equity (see Note 5).
| b) | Long-term Series B Secured Convertible Debentures $892,176
Series B secured convertible debentures The CAD$1,363,000 ($1,015,026) of Series B Secured Convertible Debentures (Subordinate Secured Debentures) were issued pursuant to the Trust Indenture agreement dated December 7, 2016 (the “Indenture”) in exchange for the Unsecured Debentures in equal principal amount and an additional CAD$36,000 ($26,809) of Series B Secured Convertible Debentures were issued pursuant to the Indenture in payment of accrued interest. These debentures mature on June 6, 2019 and bear interest at 12% per annum, payable semiannually. The debentures are secured by all the assets of the Company. The principal amount, plus accrued interest, may be converted at the option of the holder at any time during the term to maturity into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.24 (CAD $0.31) per share subject to anti-dilution protection with a minimum conversion price of $0.13 (CAD $0.10) and for capital reorganization events. The debentures also embody certain traditional default provisions that are linked to credit or interest risks, such as bankruptcy proceedings, liquidation events and corporate existence. The Company has concluded that the embedded conversion option is not indexed to its stock because it did not pass all eight conditions of equity classification provided in ASC 815. Therefore, the embedded conversion option is subject to classification in the financial statements in liabilities at fair value both at inception and subsequently pursuant to ASC 480-10-25-14. The Company has evaluated the terms and conditions of the debentures under the guidance of ASC 815. Because the economic characteristics and risks of the equity-linked conversion options are not clearly and closely related to a debt-type host, the conversion features require classification and measurement as derivative financial instruments. The other embedded derivative features (down-round protection) were also not considered clearly and closely related to the host debt instruments. Further, these features individually were not afforded the exemption normally available to derivatives indexed to a company’s own stock. Accordingly, the evaluation resulted in the conclusion that this compound derivative financial instrument requires bifurcation and liability classification, at fair value. The compound derivative financial instrument consists of (i) the embedded conversion features and the (ii) down-round protection features. Current standards contemplate that the classification of financial instruments requires evaluation at each report date. The following table reflects the allocation of the purchase on December 7, 2016:
| Secured Convertible Notes |  |  | Face Value |
| (CAD $1,399,000) |  | $ | 1,041,835 |
| Proceeds |  |  | 1,041,835 |
| Compound embedded derivative |  |  | (285,612 | )
| Carrying value |  | $ | 756,223 |
The carrying value of the debentures at November 30, 2017 is CAD$1,149,563 ($892,176). Discounts (premiums) on the convertible notes arise from (i) the allocation of basis to other instruments issued in the transaction, (ii) fees paid directly to the creditor and (iii) initial recognition at fair value, which is lower than face value. Discounts (premiums) are amortized through charges (credits) to interest expense over the term of the debt agreement. Amortization of debt discounts (premiums) amounted to CAD$134,089 ($103,034) during the period from inception to November 30, 2017. In addition, the closing balance was converted at the year-end exchange rate which resulted in a foreign currency translation loss of $32,919. During the year ended November 30, 2017, the Company recorded $125,079 in interest expense. Derivative Liabilities The carrying value of the Compound Embedded Derivative Liability is reflected on the balance sheet, with changes in the carrying value being recorded as derivative gain (loss) on the income statement. The components of the compound embedded derivative as of November 30, 2017 are:
| Financings giving rise to derivative financial instruments |  | Indexed Shares |  |  | Fair Value |
| Series B Convertible Secured Debentures December 7, 2016 |  | 8,044,853 |  | $ | 539,860 |
|  |  | 8,044,853 |  | $ | 539,860 |
The following table summarizes the effects on the gain (loss) associated with changes in the fair values of the derivative financial instruments by type of financing for the year ended November 30, 2017:

| Foreign currency translation loss |  |  | (14,446 | )
|  |  | $ | (539,860 | )
Fair Value Considerations GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. As presented in the tables below, this hierarchy consists of three broad levels:
| Level 1 valuations : | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
| Level 2 valuations : | Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model- derived valuations whose inputs or significant value drivers are observable.
| Level 3 valuations : | Significant inputs to valuation model are unobservable.
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820 with respect to the financial instruments. As required by ASC 820, assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement. Our derivative financial instruments which are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis under of ASC 815 as of November 30, 2017 are all measured at estimated fair value using Level 2 and 3 inputs. The features embedded in the debentures were combined into one compound embedded derivative that were fair valued using the income valuation technique using the Lattice valuation model. The following table sets forth the inputs for each significant assumption:
|  |  |  | November 30, 2017 |  |  | December 7, 2016 |
| Derivative financial instruments |  | $ | 539,860 |  | $ | 285,612 |
| Conversion price |  | $ | 0.13 |  | $ | 0.24 |
| Volatility |  |  | 106% |  |  | 82% |
| Remaining term (years) |  |  | 1.52 |  |  | 2.50 |
| Risk free rate |  |  | 1.78% |  |  | 1.10% |
Secured convertible debentures On December 7, 2016, the Company issued a $1,500,000 10% secured convertible debenture with a term to June 9, 2019 (the “Maturity Date”). The holder has the option to convert the outstanding principal and interest into common stock at a conversion price of $0.24 per share. The conversion price is subject to adjustments in the event of subsequent equity issuances at a price per share below $0.24. The Company incurred $103,158 in financing fees. The Company evaluated the terms and conditions of the secured convertible debentures under the guidance of ASC 815. Even though the instrument's conversion price used to calculate the settlement amount is not fixed the embedded conversion feature is still considered indexed to an entity's own stock under the guidance of ASC 815 because the only variables that could affect the settlement amount are inputs to the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed forward or option on equity shares. However, the conversion feature did not meet the conditions for equity classification provided in paragraphs 11 through 35 of ASC 815-40-25 because the contracts contain a security agreement which requires the posting of collateral. Therefore, the conversion feature requires bifurcation and liability classification. The following table reflects the allocation of the purchase on the financing date:
| Convertible debentures (Face value) | $ | 1,500,000 |
| Proceeds | $ | (1,396,842 | )
| Embedded conversion feature |  | 889,050 |
| Deferred financing costs |  | (103,158 | )
| Convertible debentures |  | 610,950 |
The secured convertible debt of $1,500,000 plus accrued interest of $257,671 comprising $140,959 for the period from issuance to date of settlement calculated at 10% per annum and $116,712 calculated at 5% per annum from date of settlement to original maturity date was settled on November 28, 2017.
