(Prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP)
 
 
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY

Response Biomedical Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated on August 20, 1980 under the predecessor to the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).  The Company is engaged in the research, development, commercialization and distribution of diagnostic technologies for the medical point of care (“POC”) and on-site environmental testing markets. POC and on-site diagnostic tests (or assays) are simple, non-laboratory based tests performed using portable hand-held devices, compact desktop analyzers, single-use test cartridges and/or dipsticks.  Since 1996, the Company has developed and commercialized a proprietary diagnostic system called RAMP®.

The RAMP® System is a portable fluorescence immunoassay-based diagnostic technology that combines the performance of a clinical lab with the convenience of a dipstick test - establishing a new paradigm in diagnostic testing. Immunoassays are extremely sensitive and specific tests used to identify and measure small quantities of materials, such as proteins.  A large variety of biological molecules and inorganic materials can be targeted. Accordingly, the RAMP® technology is applicable to multiple distinct market segments and many products within those segments.  RAMP® tests are now commercially available for use in the early detection of heart attack, congestive heart failure, influenza A+B, the respiratory syncytial virus, environmental detection of West Nile Virus, and biodefense applications including the rapid on-site detection of anthrax, smallpox, ricin and botulinum toxin.

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) on a going concern basis. The Company issued its audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 in accordance with Canadian GAAP and also provided a reconciliation of the differences between Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP in Note 18 to those audited annual consolidated financial statements. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements may not include all the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP on an annual basis, and therefore should be read in conjunction with the restated annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the appropriate securities commissions. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

The Company has sustained continuing losses since its formation resulting in a deficit of $106,105,498 as at September 30, 2011 and has not generated positive cash flow from operations. There is significant uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management has been able, thus far, to finance the operations through a series of equity financings. Management will continue, as appropriate, to seek other sources of financing on favourable terms; however, there are no assurances that any such financing can be obtained on favourable terms, if at all.  In view of these conditions, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain such financing and, ultimately, on achieving profitable operations.  The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in business.

(Unaudited – Expressed in Canadian dollars)
(Prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP)
 
 
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY (Cont’d)

The Company and industry is affected by seasonality, including governmental budget cycles.  Accordingly, revenues, sales volumes and operating results for interim quarters are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include reclassifications and normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position at September 30, 2011 and its results of operations and its cash flows for the periods  then ended and for all such periods presented.

2. CHANGE IN GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s policies under U.S. GAAP are consistent with those as presented in the audited annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2010 in all material respects.   The Company historically prepared its consolidated financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles  and provided a supplemental reconciliation to U.S. GAAP. Effective January 1, 2011, the Company adopted U.S. GAAP as the reporting standard for its consolidated financial statements. These consolidated interim financial statements, including related notes, have therefore been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. All comparative financial information contained herein has been recast to reflect the Company’s results as if the Company had historically reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These adjustments resulted in an increase in deficit of $736,558, a decrease in share capital of $69,288 and increase in contributed surplus of $805,846 as at January 1, 2011. These differences are outlined in our annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 in Note 18.

The Company’s other significant accounting policies are disclosed in note 2 of its audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2010. There were no significant adoptions or changes in accounting policies since the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
 
3.  RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Effective December 31, 2010 the Company adopted the provisions of FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification") and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("SFAS 168") - a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Under the provisions of SFAS 168, the Codification will become the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. The rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of SFAS 168, the Codification superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will became non-authoritative.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In the first quarter of 2011, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Subtopic 605-25, Revenue Recognition - Multiple-Element Arrangements (ASC Subtopic 605-25). ASC Subtopic 605-25 provides principles for allocation of consideration among multiple-elements in an arrangement, allowing more flexibility in identifying and accounting for revenue from separate deliverables under an arrangement. ASC Subtopic 605-25 introduces an estimated selling price method for allocating revenue to the elements of a bundled arrangement if

3.  RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Cont’d)

vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of selling price is not available, and significantly expands related disclosure requirements. This standard is effective on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The adoption of ASC Subtopic 605-25 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In the first quarter of 2011, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Subtopic 605–28,  Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition (ASC Subtopic 605-28). This standard provides guidance on defining a milestone and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue recognition for certain research and development transactions. Under this new standard, a company can recognize as revenue consideration that is contingent upon achievement of a milestone in the period in which it is achieved, only if the milestone meets all criteria to be considered substantive. This standard is effective for periods beginning after January 1, 2011. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In the second quarter of 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in equity and provides the option to present the components of net income and comprehensive income in either one combined financial statement or two consecutive financial statements. We currently present the components of comprehensive income in our Consolidated Statements of loss, comprehensive loss and deficit. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 did not affect our operating results, cash flows or financial position.

4. PRIOR PERIOD RESTATEMENT

The comparative financial information for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2010 has been restated. An adjustment for royalty costs included in cost of sales originally reflected in the fourth quarter of 2010 has been restated to each quarter in 2010. The impact of this restatement is to increase cost of sales by $28,527 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, with a cumulative increase of $192,806 for the nine months as at and ending September 30, 2010.

The effect of these adjustments on the consolidated balance sheet as at September 30, 2010 is summarized below:

5. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, trade receivables, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair values due to their short-term nature.

Available-for-sale financial instruments are initially measured at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income until the investment is derecognized or impaired at which time the amounts would be recorded in net income.  Held-to-maturity investments are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method with changes in amortized cost recorded to net income.  Loans and receivables and
other financial liabilities are initially measured at amortized cost with subsequent changes in amortized cost recorded to net income.  Transaction costs (except for transaction costs related to held-for-trading financial statements which are expensed as incurred) are included in the carrying amounts of financial instruments as they are carried on the balance sheet.

The Company has classified its cash as held-for-trading.  Restricted investments are classified as held-to-maturity.  Trade receivables and other receivables are classified as loans and receivables.  Accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities and repayable leasehold improvement allowance are classified as other financial liabilities.

Risks

The Company’s activities expose it to various risks including liquidity risk, credit risk and market risks such as currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk.  The Company’s risk management activities are designed to mitigate possible adverse side effects on the Company’s performance with a primary focus on preservation of capital.  Risk management activities are managed by the finance and accounting department.  There have been no significant changes in risk since the end of December 31, 2010, the last completed fiscal year that would affect the fairness of the presentation of financial data at this date, other than the change to credit risk as a result of the allowance for doubtful accounts that was recorded during the period as a result of the issues surrounding the termination of the Sales and Distribution agreement with Roche Diagnostics as discussed in more detail in note 16.  As at September 30, 2011, the Company had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $67,750 (December 31, 2010: nil).

These payments are accrued and expensed in the year incurred.    The agreement terminates on the expiration date in 2016, or invalidity of the patents or upon bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company.  For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, the Company incurred an expense of $2,500 and $8,500 [2010 - $2,750 and $8,250] for royalty and license fees.

[b]   Indemnification of directors and officers

Under the Articles of the Company, applicable law and agreements with its directors and officers, the Company, in circumstances where the individual has acted legally, honestly and in good faith, may, or is required to indemnify its directors and officers against certain losses.  The Company's liability in respect of the indemnities is not limited.  The maximum potential of the future payments is unlimited.  However, the Company maintains appropriate liability insurance that limits the exposure and enables the Company to recover any future amounts paid, less any deductible amounts pursuant to the terms of the respective policies, the amounts of which are not considered material.

 [c]   Indemnification of third parties

The Company has entered into license and research agreements with third parties that include indemnification provisions that are customary in the industry. These indemnifications generally require the Company to compensate the other party for certain damages and costs incurred as a result of third party claims or damages arising from these transactions.  The nature of the indemnification obligations prevents the Company from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount that it could be required to pay.  To date, the Company has not made any indemnification payments under such agreements and no amount has been accrued in these consolidated financial statements with respect to these indemnification obligations.

[d]
Supply agreement

The Company entered into a supply agreement, effective September 2003 for certain reagents for the Company’s RAMP West Nile Virus Test.  In addition to paying for the reagent purchased, the Company is required to pay the supplier semi-annual royalties equal to 10% of net revenue generated from the sale of the Company’s RAMP West Nile Virus Test.  The initial term of the agreement was three years from the effective date and is automatically renewed for successive periods of one year until either party terminates the agreement.  For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, the Company incurred an expense of $3,368 and $36,604 [2010 - $13,324 and $21,934] for royalties to the supplier.

14. ACCOUNTING FOR TAX UNCERTAINTIES

The amount of liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 is nil.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income taxes in interest income (expense).  To date, the Company has not incurred any significant interest and penalties.

15. COMPARATIVE FIGURES

In addition to the changes described in note 2, certain comparative figures have been reclassified from the amounts previously reported to conform to the presentation adopted in the current year.

16. CONTINGENCIES

On September 2, 2011, the Company received notification from Roche Diagnostics that they have terminated, effective September 30, 2011, the sales and distribution agreement between Roche and the Company dated June 25, 2008.  Roche Diagnostics terminated the agreement because the Company has not obtained the necessary approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to permit Roche Diagnostics to market the Company’s cardiovascular tests for use in point-of-care settings in the United States using the RAMP® 200 Reader.  This termination gives rise to loss contingencies that have a reasonable possibility of occurring but for which the potential amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated.

In addition, the circumstances leading to the financial statement adjustments described in note 4 of the restated audited consolidated financial statements, give rise to loss contingencies that are reasonably possible of occurrence but for which the potential amount of losses cannot be reasonably estimated.
