History and Business

The Company is, and since July 28, 2008 has been, incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario).

The address of the Company’s corporate office and its principal place of business is 170 University Avenue, Suite 1000, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5H 3B3.

The Company was formed by way of amalgamation under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on July 28, 2008. Titan does not have any subsidiaries. The Company is committed to developing its robotic surgical system for use in connection with minimally invasive surgery (surgery without large incisions). From inception, the Company has focused on research and development toward its robotic surgical technology and building its intellectual property portfolio, trade secrets and scientific and technical knowledge base.

Overall Performance

The Company’s business is focused on the research and development of computer-assisted robotic surgical technologies for application in minimally invasive surgery (“MIS”). The Company is currently developing a single-port robotically-assisted surgical system, identified as the SPORT Surgical System. The SPORT Surgical System comprises a patient cart, a surgeon-controlled robotic platform, that includes a 3D high definition vision system and multi-articulating instruments for performing MIS procedures, and a surgeon workstation that provides the surgeon with an advanced ergonomic interface to the patient cart and a 3D endoscopic view of inside a patient’s body during MIS procedures via a 3D high definition display. With the SPORT Surgical System, the Company intends to pursue a broad set of surgical indications, including general abdominal, gynecologic, urologic and colorectal procedures.

Development of the SPORT Surgical System has proceeded in response to “voice of customer” feedback, consultation with medical technology development firms and consultants, and engagement with the Company’s Surgeon Advisory Board (the “Surgeon Advisory Board”) comprised of industry-leading surgeons. This has allowed the Company to design a system that includes the traditional advantages of robotic surgery, including tele-operation, 3D stereoscopic imaging and restoration of instinctive control, and also new and enhanced features including a more ergonomic-friendly surgeon workstation user interface and a robotic platform with improved instrument dexterity. The ergonomic design of the workstation includes customized surgeon controllers, a second display for delivering ancillary information to the surgeon and elbow supports instead of forearm supports to provide an overall more comfortable working position. The surgical system is designed to adapt to the surgeon instead of having the surgeon adapt to the system.

The Company has completed research and early development of the major components of the SPORT Surgical System including multi-articulating instruments with multiple degrees of freedom of movement, a custom designed 3D high definition vision system capable of motorized pan and tilt and surgeon controls that allow the user to control the instruments through movements of the surgeon controllers.

The SPORT Surgical System patient cart is being developed to deliver interactive multi-articulating instruments and a 3D high definition vision system into a patient’s abdominal body cavity through a single access port. The design of the patient cart includes an insertion tube of approximately 19 millimeter (mm) diameter, capable of insertion into the patient’s body cavity through a skin incision of approximately 25 mm. The insertion tube includes a collapsible distal end portion incorporating a 3D high definition camera module that once inserted, is configured to deploy into a working configuration wherein the camera module and multi-articulating instruments can be controlled by a surgeon via the workstation. The reusable multi-articulating, snake-like instruments are designed to couple with sterile detachable single patient use robotic end effectors that would provide first use quality in every case and eliminate the reprocessing of the complete instrument. The use of reposable (re-usable for a specific number of uses) robotic instruments and single patient use end effectors is intended to minimize the cost per procedure. The patient cart is also designed to include a mast, a boom and wheels for optimal configurability for a variety of surgical indications and the ability to be maneuvered within the operating room, or redeployed within hospitals and surgical centers, where applicable.

The Company continuously evaluates its technologies under development for intellectual property protection. As of March 31, 2017, the Company has ownership or certain exclusive rights to 12 patents and 31 patent applications. The Company anticipates expanding its intellectual property portfolio by filing additional patent applications as it progresses in the development of robotic surgical technologies, acquiring and/or by licensing suitable technologies. The Company previously entered into exclusive license agreements with several organizations including the Trustees of Columbia University. The agreement with Columbia University provides the Company with certain rights for the development and commercialization of robotic surgical technology for use in single port surgery, providing a basis for the development of the SPORT Surgical System.

As part of its development and commercialization efforts, the Company has established certain milestones that it uses to assess its progress towards developing commercially viable robotic surgical technologies. These milestones relate to technology and design advancements as well as to targeted dates for pre-clinical studies and completion of regulatory submissions. To assess progress, the Company regularly tests and evaluates its technology. If such evaluations indicate technical defects or failure to meet cost or performance goals, the Company’s commercialization schedule could be delayed and potential purchasers of its initial commercial systems may decline to purchase them or may choose to purchase alternative technologies.

Among other things, the future success of the Company is substantially dependent on continuing its research and development program, including the ongoing support of any outsourced research and development suppliers.

In addition to being capital intensive, research and development activities relating to the sophisticated technologies that the Company is developing are inherently uncertain as to future success and the achievement of desired results. If delays or problems occur during the Company’s ongoing research and development activities, important financial and human resources may need to be diverted toward resolving such delays or problems. Further, there is material risk that the Company’s research and development activities may not result in a functional, commercially viable product or one that is approved by regulatory authorities.

The Company had previously announced plans to build first-in-human units in the first quarter of 2016 after the completed build of the two engineering verification units. However, due to the revision of the development path, the first-in-human units have been repurposed as engineering verification units (“EV units”) and were completed during the first quarter of 2016. The EV units incorporate substantially all of the previous design and engineering work completed on the SPORT Surgical System and will be used for pre-clinical live animal and human cadaver studies. The live animal and human cadaver studies are expected to provide comprehensive and high quality information towards anticipated regulatory submissions to the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and regulatory authorities for the CE Mark.

Developments during the first three months of 2017 include:

  -  

The Company achieved its milestone for the first quarter of 2017, with the finalization of user requirements for the first generation of robotic surgical system.

Discussion of Operations

The Company incurred a net and comprehensive loss of $4,988,274 during the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared with a net and comprehensive loss of $11,720,394 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. This decrease in net and comprehensive loss for the period is attributed primarily to the decrease in Research and Development operations in 2017 when compared to 2016. In addition, foreign exchange (gain) or loss in the three months ended March 31, 2017, before foreign exchange on warrant liabilities was $11,264, compared to $90,815 for the comparable period in 2016. At March 31, 2017 the foreign exchange on the warrant liabilities was a gain of $26,080, versus a loss of $248,916 for the comparable period in 2016

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, corporate efforts were ongoing related to furthering key strategic relationships, carrying on efforts to secure the Company’s intellectual property through the patent and licensing process, and continuing the development of the Company’s robotic surgical system. As of March 31, 2017, the Company has ownership or exclusive rights to twelve patents and thirty one patent applications filed with various patent offices.

Research and development expenditures (all of which were expensed in the period) for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, respectively, were as follows:

Research and Development Expenditures Three Months Ended
March 31, 2017
Three Months Ended
March 31, 2016
Intellectual property development $5,000 $5,000
License and royalties 5,000 76,000
Product development 2,936,323 10,354,679
     
Total $2,946,323 $10,435,679

Research and development expenditures decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. This decrease was primarily due to a reduction in available funding in 2017 when compared to 2016.

Excluding foreign exchange, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 amounted to $1,455,316 compared to $1,147,728 for the comparable period in 2016. This increase in Q1 2017 over Q1 2016 is attributed primarily to increases in salaries, stock compensation and professional fees, offset by decreases in travel and marketing/investor relations costs.

The gain or (loss) attributed to change in fair value of warrants for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was a loss of ($461,996) , compared to a gain of $546,243 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The change in gain or (loss) of ($1,008,239) for the three months ended March 31, 2017 reflects an increase in fair value of warrants in 2017 compared to 2016.

Titan realized $2,133 of interest income in the three months ended March 31, 2017 and $1,774 in the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Significant changes in key financial data from the three months ended June 30, 2015 to the three months ended March 31, 2017 reflects the ongoing development of the SPORT Surgical System. Also included is the requirement to revalue the Company’s warrant liability at fair value with subsequent changes recorded through net and comprehensive loss for the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company currently does not generate any revenue or income (other than interest income on its cash balances) and accordingly, it is (and it will be for the foreseeable future) dependent primarily upon equity financing for any additional funding required for development and operating expenses.

The ability of the Company to arrange such financing in the future will depend in part upon prevailing capital market conditions and the business success of the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to arrange additional financing on terms satisfactory to the Company. If additional financing is raised by the issuance of shares or convertible securities from treasury, control of the Company may change and shareholders may suffer additional dilution. If adequate funds are not available, or are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to take advantage of opportunities, or otherwise to continue its technology development program at its current pace.

Development Objectives

The Company employs a combination of internal resources and external development firms to execute the research, development and commercialization plan for the Company’s robotic surgical system.

At this time, the Company’s primary development objectives and milestones in 2017 will be to advance human factors studies, formalize user requirements, stabilize the design and development of the system, and initiate pre-clinical studies. Pre-clinical studies performed in live animal subjects by surgeons with fully-functional prototypes can provide valuable insights regarding system performance, as well as the suitability of related surgical accessories, during representative surgical procedures under controlled laboratory conditions.

Based on the evolution of the SPORT design, the creation and refinement of software for production system functionality has not yet commenced. As the system design matures early in the year, the Company plans to commence this process in the first half of 2017, and anticipates that it will continue as an intensive, ongoing process through the balance of 2017 with anticipated completion in 2018. As software development is a parallel effort, it is anticipated that insights gained from human factors and pre-clinical studies will provide opportunities to optimize the system for clinical use.

7


The Company estimates that it will require a minimum of approximately U.S.$10 million to fund its development milestones for the first half of 2017, specifically, those related to the advancement of the human factors and usability studies and finalization of user requirements for the first generation SPORT Surgical System. It is further estimated that a minimum of an additional U.S. $18 million will be required to fund development and pre-clinical animal studies during the second half of 2017.

Although an estimate of the timing and costs for the development milestones in 2017 and beyond remains highly speculative, the Company presently estimates that a total of U.S. $70 million of additional capital (including the U.S.$10 million and U.S.$18 million amounts noted above), will be required to fund development work through submission of the 510(k) application to the FDA and submittal to European authorities for the CE Mark, which are projected by year-end 2018. However, given the uncertainty of, among other things, product development timelines, regulatory requirements, the timing and number of future animal and human cadaver studies that may be required and the availability of required capital to fund development and operating costs, the actual costs and development times may exceed management’s current expectations.

In addition to being capital intensive, research and development activities relating to the Company’s SPORT surgical robot, which is a highly complex medical device are inherently uncertain as to future success and the achievement of desired results. If delays or problems occur during the Company’s ongoing research and development activities, financial and human resources may need to be diverted toward resolving such delays or problems. Further, there is material risk that the Company’s research and development activities may not result in a functional, commercially viable product or one that is approved by regulatory authorities. Please see “Risk Factors”.

Current Development Plan

The Company’s current plan is to raise sufficient financing and to continue the development and commercialization of the SPORT Surgical System at estimated incremental costs, and according to the timeline, as set forth in the table below.

The Company anticipates costs to the end of 2017 related to the commercialization and regulatory clearance of the SPORT system to be as set out in the table below.

Notes:

(1) A specific schedule for milestone completion cannot be estimated at this time as it is dependent upon receipt of additional funding.
(2) The estimated costs associated with each milestone in the table above are inclusive of estimated working capital and general administrative expenses.

Upon completion of the development of the SPORT Surgical System and following receipt of applicable regulatory clearances in North America and Europe, the Company intends to utilize a direct sales force, distribution partner(s) or a combination thereof to initiate marketing of the SPORT Surgical System to hospitals.

Due to the nature of technology research and development, there is no assurance that these objectives will be achieved, and there can be no assurance with respect to the time or resources that may be required. The Company expects that additional specific milestones could be identified as the research, development and commercialization of the SPORT Surgical System progresses, or existing milestones, budgets and the schedule for completion of each milestone may change depending on a number of factors including the results of the Company’s development program, the availability of financing and the cooperation and ability of development and manufacturing firms engaged by the Company to complete work assigned to them. The total costs presented in the table above to undertake the research, development and commercialization of the Company’s SPORT Surgical System as referenced above are only estimates based on current information available to the Company and cannot yet be determined with a high degree of certainty. Actual costs may be substantially higher than those estimated. Costs beyond 2017 remain to be determined.

Accounting Policies

The accounting policies set out in the notes to the unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been applied in preparing the unaudited condensed interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2017, and the comparative information presented in the unaudited condensed interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IAS 34 requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of provisions at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of expenses during the period. Financial statement items subject to significant judgement include, (a) the measurement of stock based compensation and (b) the fair value estimate of the initial measurement of new warrant liabilities and re-measurement of unlisted warrant liabilities. While management believes that the estimates and assumptions are reasonable, actual results may differ.

14


(a) Stock Options

The Black-Scholes model used by the Company to determine fair values of stock options and warrants was developed for use in estimating the fair value of the stock options and warrants. This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including future stock price volatility and expected time until exercise. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.

(b) Warrant Liability

In accordance with IAS 32, because the exercise price of new warrants are not a fixed amount, they are denominated in a currency (Canadian dollar) other than the Company’s functional currency (U.S. dollar). Accordingly, the warrants are accounted for as a derivative financial liability. The warrant liability is initially measured at fair value and subsequent changes in fair value are recorded through Net and Comprehensive Loss for the period. The accounting guidance for fair value measurements prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into the following hierarchy:

Level 1 Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly or indirectly observable:

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

The fair value of our listed and unlisted Warrant liability is initially based on level 2 (significant observable inputs) and at March 31, 2017 is based on level 1, quoted prices (unadjusted), in an active market, for our listed warrants and level 2 for our unlisted warrants.

Related Party Transactions

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, transactions between the Company and directors, officers and other related parties were related to compensation matters in the normal course of operations and are measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties.

On June 8, 2015, the Company entered into an option agreement with Platform Imaging, LLC (“Platform”) whereby Platform granted the Company an option to negotiate a license agreement to have exclusive rights to practice the inventions set forth in patents and patent applications for Markerless Tracking of Robotic Surgical Tools for potential incorporation in the SPORT Surgical System and to distribute such product thereafter. Under the terms of the option agreement, the Company must pay to Platform a non-refundable option fee of $300,000 as follows: (i) $100,000 upon signing the option agreement; (ii) $100,000 on January 2, 2016; and (iii) $100,000 on October 1, 2016. In addition, the Company shall have the right at any time up to and including February 2, 2017, to exercise the option by paying a fee of $1.3 million for the rights under the license agreement, payable upon execution of a license agreement. Prior to February 2, 2017, Titan gave notice that it would not exercise the option. A former senior officer of Titan was also a co-founder, significant shareholder, a director and a member of the senior management team of Platform, as well as the co-inventor of the developed technology.

15


During the period, an individual related to a former executive, provided consulting services in support of marketing efforts for the European market. Compensation of $24,720 plus reimbursement of appropriate expenses was paid to the individual.

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, warrant liability, and other liabilities and charges. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values, unless otherwise noted, due to the short term maturities of these instruments or the discount rate applied.

Outlook

The Company’s newly expanded management team has focused its efforts on planned, systematic execution of the development of the SPORT Surgical System, directed toward commercialization. Although the challenges associated with the successful design development and commercialization of a system as advanced as the SPORT Surgical System are numerous, management believes that with the support of its product development partners, it can succeed.

As at December 31, 2016, the Company published a revised set of milestones based on a detailed review of its progress to date and expectations going forward. During the first fiscal and calendar quarter of 2017, the Company successfully completed its first milestone, finalization of the user requirements for a first generation robotic surgical system. Further, in April 2017, the Company was awarded a new US Patent for SPORT-related technology. Based on recent progress, the Company expects to complete its second milestone, being the completion of the initial formative human factors studies, in May 2017. Management is presently focused on achieving the remaining milestones for the first half of 2017 on schedule, while proceeding with disciplined product development, verification and validation processes.

At the same time, the Company is evolving its Quality Management System in preparation for submittal of applications for regulatory clearances. As required testing is completed, the results will be incorporated into the documentation and technical files to be reviewed by the FDA for 510(k) clearance and by a European Notified Body for CE Mark approval.

During 2017 and 2018, the Company plans to pursue financing that will allow it to continue the development and commercialization of the SPORT Surgical System, as well as continue its efforts to secure its intellectual property through the patent and licensing process. The pace at which the Company can execute ongoing development continues to be substantially dependent on its ability to raise the necessary capital on a timely basis.
