On November 18, 2014, the Company announced that it had entered into a letter of intent with XORTX Pharma Corp.

The pricing of the Private Placement reflects a pre-money enterprise value for XORTX of approximately $11,000,000.
For the purposes of the Proposed Transaction, the deemed value of each outstanding Bradmer share will be $0.06104 (on a pre-Amalgamation basis).

General and administrative expenses were $58,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2014 compared to $31,000 in the same quarter of the prior year. Major expenses in 2014 consisted of a bonus to the President & Chief Executive Officer of $25,000, consulting fees of $16,000, audit fees of $2,000, legal fees of $7,000 and directors'' and officers'' liability insurance premiums of $4,000.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, Bradmer recorded a net loss of $59,000 or $0.003 per common share based on the weighted average outstanding shares of 19,659,726 during the year, compared to a net loss of $128,000 or $0.007 per common share for the year ended December 31, 2013 based on the same weighted average outstanding shares of 19,659,726. The reduced loss in 2014 is attributable to the $91,000 of fee income and the $38,000 foreign exchange gain in 2014 compared with the $29,000 foreign exchange gain in 2013 offset by the $31,000 increase in general and administrative expenses.

General and administrative expenses were $188,000 in the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $157,000 in the prior year. Major expenses in 2014 consisted of consulting fees of $65,000, legal fees of $58,000, a bonus to the President & Chief Executive Officer of $25,000, transfer agent and stock exchange listing fees of $10,000, audit fees of $8,000 and insurance premiums of $15,000. Major expenses in 2013 consisted of consulting fees of $70,000, legal fees of $26,000, insurance premiums of $19,000, audit fees of $17,000 and transfer agent and stock exchange listing fees of $13,000.

The decrease was due to the $59,000 operating loss incurred in 2014 and the $62,000 foreign exchange translation adjustment, partially offset by the $20,000 decrease in non-cash working capital.
As at February 24, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had 19,659,726 common shares and options to purchase 1,950,000 common shares outstanding.
