EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 40-F/A (“Amendment No. 1”) amends the Annual Report on Form 40-F of Novadaq Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 28, 2014 (“the Original Annual Report”). The only amendment to the Original Annual Report is set forth under the heading “Controls and Procedures—Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Attestation Report of Auditor,” which sets forth that (i) management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial reports for external purposes in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and (ii) as required by National Instrument 52-109 (Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings) and the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have caused the effectiveness of the internal controls over financial reporting to be evaluated using the framework established in ‘Internal Control—Integrated Framework, 1992 (COSO Framework)’ published by The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
Other than as discussed above, all information in the Original Annual Report is unchanged and is not reproduced in this Amendment No. 1. This Amendment No. 1 does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Annual Report or modify or update the disclosure contained in the Original Annual Report in any way other than as discussed above. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Original Annual Report.
In addition, as required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), new certifications by the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer are filed herewith as Exhibits 99.1 to 99.4 to this Amendment No. 1.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Attestation Report of Auditor
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial reports for external purposes in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. As required by National Instrument 52-109 (Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings) and the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have caused the effectiveness of the internal controls over financial reporting to be evaluated using the framework established in ‘Internal Control—Integrated Framework, 1992 (COSO Framework)’ published by The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company have designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused it to be designed under their supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, rules of the Securities Act (Ontario) and the Canadian Securities Authority as at December 31, 2013.
The Company, under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has performed control self-assessments as of December 31, 2013 to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control reporting.
As at December 31, 2013, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and concluded that such internal control over financial reporting is effective and that there are no materials weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have been identified by management.
In accordance with the United States Jumpstart Our Business Startup Act (the “JOBS Act”) enacted on April 5, 2012, the Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” (an “EGC”), which entitles the Company to take
advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not EGCs. Specifically, the JOBS Act defers the requirement to have the Company’s independent auditor assess the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. As such, the Company is exempted from the requirement to include an auditor attestation report in this Form 40-F.
