Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
March 31, 2018
(Expressed in U.S. Funds)
(Unaudited)
1. | Basis of Presentation |
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. | |
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2017. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018. The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). This basis of accounting involves the application of accrual accounting and consequently, revenues and gains are recognized when earned, and expenses and losses are recognized when incurred. | |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary companies. On consolidation, all inter-entity transactions and balances have been eliminated. | |
The financial statements are expressed in U.S. funds. | |
Management has performed an evaluation of the Companys activities through the date and time these financial statements were issued and concluded that there are no additional significant events requiring recognition or disclosure. | |
2. |
Going Concern |
The Company has financed its operations to date primarily through public offerings of its common stock, bank loans, royalty, up-front and milestone payments, license fees, proceeds from exercise of warrants and options, research and development revenues and the sale of U.S. royalty on future sales of Forfivo XL®. The Company has devoted substantially all of its resources to its drug development efforts, conducting clinical trials to further advance the product pipeline, the expansion of its facilities, protecting its intellectual property and general and administrative functions relating to these operations. The future success of the Company is dependent on its ability to develop its product pipeline and ultimately upon its ability to attain profitable operations. As of March 31, 2018, the Company had cash and short-term investments totaling approximately $2,383. The Company does not have sufficient existing cash and short-term investments to support operations for the next year following the issuance of these financial statements. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans to alleviate these conditions include pursuing one or more of the following steps to raise additional funding, none of which can be guaranteed or are entirely within the Companys control: |

2. |
Going Concern (Cont'd) |
|
Raise funding through the possible sale of the Companys common stock, including public or private equity financings. | |
|
Raise funding through debt financing. | |
|
Continue to seek partners to advance product pipeline. | |
|
Initiate oral film manufacturing activities. | |
|
Initiate contract oral film manufacturing activities. |
If the Company is unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, or if it is unable to procure partnership arrangements to advance its programs, the Company would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate its research and development programs. | |
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments or classifications that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be unable to realize the carrying value of its assets and to meet its liabilities as they become due. | |
3. |
Adoption of New Accounting Standards |
The Company adopted Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers with a date of the initial application of January 1, 2018. As a result, the Company has changed its accounting policy for revenue recognition as detailed below. | |
This standard applies to all contracts with customers, except for contracts that are within the scope of other standards, such as leases, insurance, collaboration arrangements and financial instruments. Under Topic 606, an entity recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those good or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements subject to the scope of Topic 606, the entity performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of Topic 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and identifies performance obligations that are distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to each performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. |

3. |
Adoption of New Accounting Standards (Contd) |
ASC 606 uses the terms contract asset and contract liability to describe what might more commonly be known as accrued revenue and deferred revenue. The Company has adopted the terminology used in ASC 606 to describe such balances. | |
The Companys accounting policies for its revenue streams are disclosed in Note 4 below. Apart from providing more extensive disclosures on the Companys revenue transactions, the application of ASC 606 has not had a significant impact on the financial position and/or financial performance of the Company. | |
The FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Stock compensation, which provides guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting under Topic 718. The statement is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Companys financial position or results. | |
The FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations, which clarifies the definition of a business and is intended to help companies evaluate whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. These amendments are effective for a public business entity for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Companys financial position or results. | |
The FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows, which requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted or restricted cash equivalents. The statement is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Companys financial position or results. | |
The FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income taxes, and requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. These amendments are effective for a public business entity for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Companys financial position or results. | |
The FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows, which clarifies how certain cash receipts and payments are to be presented in the Statement of cash flows. The statement is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Companys financial position or results. |

3. | Adoption of New Accounting Standards (Contd) |
| |
The FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments. The targeted amendments to existing guidance include: |
1. |
Equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method would be measured at fair value through net income, unless they qualify for the proposed practicability exception for investments that do not have readily determinable fair values. | |
2. |
Changes in instrument-specific credit risk for financial liabilities that are measured under the fair value option would be recognized in other comprehensive income. | |
3. |
Entities would make the assessment of the realizability of a deferred tax asset (DTA) related to an available- for-sale (AFS) debt security in combination with the entitys other DTAs. The guidance would eliminate one method that is currently acceptable for assessing the realizability of DTAs related to AFS debt securities. That is, an entity would no longer be able to consider its intent and ability to hold debt securities with unrealized losses until recovery. | |
4. |
Disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost would no longer be required for entities that are not public business entities. |
For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Companys financial position or results. | |
4. |
Significant Accounting Policies |
Revenue Recognition | |
| |
Revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. | |
Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue- producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue. | |
The following is a description of principal activities separated by nature from which the Company generates its revenue. | |
Research and Development Revenue | |
Revenues with corporate collaborators are recognized as the performance obligations are satisfied over time, and the related expenditures are incurred pursuant to the terms of the agreement. |

(Unaudited)
4. | Significant Accounting Policies (Contd) |
Licensing and Collaboration Arrangements | |
The Company may enter into licensing and collaboration agreements for product development, licensing, supply and manufacturing for its product pipeline. The terms of the agreements may include non-refundable signing and licensing fees, milestone payments and royalties on any product sales derived from collaborations. These contracts are analyzed to identify all performance obligations forming part of these contracts. The transaction price of the contract is then determined. The transaction price is allocated between all performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. The stand-alone selling price is estimated based on the comparable market prices, expected cost plus margin and the Companys historical experience. | |
Licenses are considered to be right-to-use licenses. As such, the Company recognizes the licenses revenues at a point in time, upon granting the licenses. | |
Milestone payments are considered variable consideration. As such, the Company estimates variable consideration at the most likely amount to which we expect to be entitled. The estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, the Company re-evaluates the probability of achievement of such development milestones and any related constraint, and if necessary, adjusts its estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, which would affect license, research and other revenues in the period during which the adjustment is recognized. The process of successfully achieving the criteria for the milestone payments is highly uncertain. Consequently, there is significant risk that the Company may not earn all of the milestone payments for each of its contracts. | |
Royalties are typically calculated as a percentage of net sales realized by the Companys licensees of its products (including their sub-licensees), as specifically defined in each agreement. The licensees sales generally consist of revenues from product sales of the Companys product pipeline and net sales are determined by deducting the following: estimates for chargebacks, rebates, sales incentives and allowances, returns and losses and other customary deductions in each region where the Company has licensees. Revenues arising from royalties are considered variable consideration. As such, the Company estimates variable consideration at the most likely amount to which we expect to be entitled. The estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. |

Significant Accounting Policies (Contd) |
Leasehold Improvements and Equipment | |
Leasehold improvements and equipment are recorded at cost. Provisions for depreciation are based on their estimated useful lives using the methods as follows: |
On the declining balance method - | |
Laboratory and office equipment | 20% |
Computer equipment | 30% |
On the straight-line method - | |
Leasehold improvements | over the lease term |
Manufacturing equipment | 5 10 years |
Upon retirement or disposal, the cost of the asset disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in income. Expenditures for repair and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
ASU 2018-02 Income Statement Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
The FASB issued ASU 2018-02 which provides financial statement preparers with an option to reclassify stranded tax effects within AOCI to retained earnings in each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (or portion thereof) is recorded. These amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the Statement on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2017-04 Intangibles Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment
The FASB issued ASU 2017-04 which eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test and eliminates the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment. These amendments are effective for a public business entity for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period and should be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this Statement on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2016-02: Leases (Topic 842) Section A
The FASB issued ASU 2016-02 to increase the transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. These amendments are effective for a public business entity for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this Statement on its consolidated financial statements.

8. | Convertible Debentures |
On July 12, 2017, the Company closed its previously announced prospectus offering (the Offering) of convertible unsecured subordinated debentures of the Corporation (the Debentures) for gross aggregate proceeds of CAD$6,838,000. Pursuant to the Offering, the Corporation issued an aggregate principal amount of CAD$6,838,000 of Debentures at a price of CAD$1,000 per Debenture. The Debentures will mature on June 30, 2020 and bear interest at annual rate of 8% payable semi-annually on the last day of June and December of each year, commencing on December 31, 2017. The Debentures will be convertible at the option of the holders at any time prior to the close of business on the earlier of June 30, 2020 and the business day immediately preceding the date specified by the Corporation for redemption of Debentures. The conversion price will be CAD$1.35 (the Conversion Price) per common share of the Corporation (Share), being a conversion rate of approximately 740 Shares per CAD$1,000 principal amount of Debentures, subject to adjustment in certain events. | |
On August 8, 2017, the Company closed a second tranche of its prospectus Offering of convertible unsecured subordinated debentures of the Corporation for which a first closing took place on July 12, pursuant to which it had raised additional gross proceeds of CAD$762,000. | |
Together with the principal amount of CAD$6,838,000 of Debentures issued on July 12, 2017, the Corporation issued a total aggregate principal amount of CAD$7,600,000 of Debentures at a price of CAD$1,000 per Debenture. | |
The convertible debentures have been recorded as a liability. Total transactions costs in the amount of CAD$1,237,000 were recorded against the liability. The accretion expense for the period ended March 31, 2018 amounts to CAD$93,000. |

Deferred Share Units (DSUs) | |
| |
Effective February 7, 2018, the Board approved a Deferred Share Unit Plan (DSU Plan) to compensate non- employee directors as part of their annual remuneration. Under the DSU Plan, the Board may grant Deferred Share Units (DSUs) to the participating directors at its discretion and, in addition, each participating director may elect to receive all or a portion of his or her annual cash stipend in the form of DSUs. To the extent DSUs are granted, the amount of compensation that is deferred is converted into a number of DSUs, as determined by the market price of our Common Stock on the effective date of the election. These DSUs are converted back into a cash amount at the expiration of the deferral period based on the market price of our Common Stock on the expiration date and paid to the director in cash in accordance with the payout terms of the DSU Plan. As the DSUs are on a cash-only basis, no shares of Common Stock will be reserved or issued in connection with the DSUs. No DSUs have been granted under the DSU Plan as of the date of this filing. |

Company Background
We are a drug delivery company established in 2003 and headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Our focus is on the development of novel oral immediate-release and controlled-release products for the pharmaceutical market. More recently, we have made the strategic decision to enter the oral film market and have implemented commercial oral film manufacturing capability. This enables us to offer our partners a comprehensive portfolio of pharmaceutical services, including pharmaceutical R&D, clinical monitoring, regulatory support, tech transfer and manufacturing scale-up, and commercial manufacturing.
Our business strategy is to develop pharmaceutical products based on our proprietary drug delivery technologies and, once the viability of a product has been demonstrated, license the commercial rights to partners in the pharmaceutical industry. In certain cases, we rely upon partners in the pharmaceutical industry to fund the development of the licensed products, complete the regulatory approval process with the FDA or other regulatory agencies relating to the licensed products, and assume responsibility for marketing and distributing such products.
In addition, we may choose to pursue the development of certain products until the project reaches the marketing and distribution stage. We will assess the potential for successful development of a product and associated costs, and then determine at which stage it is most prudent to seek a partner, balancing such costs against the potential for additional returns earned by partnering later in the development process.
Our primary growth strategies are based on three pillars: (1) out licensing commercial rights of our existing pipeline products, (2) partnering on contract development and manufacturing projects leveraging our VersaFilm technology, (3) expanding our current pipeline through:
| identifying lifecycle management opportunities for existing market leading pharmaceutical products, | |
| develop oral film products that provide tangible patient benefits, | |
| development of new drug delivery technologies, | |
| repurposing existing drugs for new indications, and | |
| developing generic drugs where high technology barriers to entry exist in reproducing branded films. |
Contract Development and Manufacturing based on VersaFilm technology
We have established a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility for the future manufacture of our VersaFilm products. We believe that this (1) represents a profitable business opportunity, (2) will reduce our dependency upon third-party contract manufacturers, thereby protecting our manufacturing process know-how and intellectual property, and (3) allows us to offer our development partners a full service from product conception through to supply of the finished product.
With our current manufacturing equipment, we are only able to manufacture products that do not contain flammable organic solvents. Since several of our film products are solvent-based, we are in the process of acquiring manufacturing equipment that is capable of handling organic solvents, and we are expanding our manufacturing facility in order to create the space required for this new manufacturing equipment.
Lifecycle Management Opportunities
We are seeking to position our delivery technologies as an opportunity for lifecycle management of products for which patent protection of the active ingredient is nearing expiration. While the patent for the underlying substance cannot be extended, patent protection can be obtained for a new and improved formulation by filing an application with the FDA under Section 505(b)(2) of the U.S. Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. Such applications, known as a 505(b)(2) NDA, are permitted for new drug products that incorporate previously approved active ingredients, even if the proposed new drug incorporates an approved active ingredient in a novel formulation or for a new indication. A 505(b)(2) NDA may include information regarding safety and efficacy of a proposed drug that comes from studies not conducted by or for the applicant. The first formulation for a respective active ingredient filed with the FDA under a 505(b)(2) application may qualify for up to three years of market exclusivity upon approval. Based upon a review of past partnerships between third party drug delivery companies and pharmaceutical companies, management believes that drug delivery companies which possess innovative technologies to develop these special dosage formulations present an attractive opportunity to pharmaceutical companies. Accordingly, we believe 505(b)(2) products represent a viable business opportunity for us.
20
Product Opportunities that provide Tangible Patient Benefits
Our focus will be on developing oral film products leveraging our VersaFilm technology that provide tangible patient benefits versus existing drug delivery forms. Patients with difficulties swallowing medication, pediatrics or geriatrics may benefit from oral films due to the ease of use. Similarly, we are working on oral films to improve bio-availability and/or response time versus existing drugs and thereby reducing side effects.
Development of New Drug Delivery Technologies
The rapidly disintegrating film technology contained in our VersaFilm, and our AdVersa® mucosal adhesive tablet, are two examples of our efforts to develop alternate technology platforms. As we work with various partners on different products, we seek opportunities to develop new proprietary technologies.
Repurposing Existing Drugs
We are working on the repurposing of already approved drugs for new indications using our VersaFilm film technology. This program represents a viable growth strategy for us as it will allow for reduced development costs, improved success rates and shorter approval times. We believe that through our repurposing program we will be able minimize the risk of developmental failure and create value for us and potential partners.
Generic Drugs with High Barriers to Entry
We plan to pursue the development of generic drugs that have certain barriers to entry, e.g., where product development and manufacturing is complex and can limit the number of potential entrants into the generic market. We plan to pursue such projects only if the number of potential competitors is deemed relatively insignificant.
Corporate
Manufacturing facility
We currently manufacture products only for clinical and testing purposes in our own facility and we do not yet manufacture products for commercial use. In order to establish ourselves as a full-service partner for our thin film products, we invested approximately $6.5 million to establish a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility for the commercial manufacture of products developed using our VersaFilm drug delivery technology. Since we recently received our cGMP-compliant rating from Health Canada for manufacturing and packaging activities, we anticipate the manufacturing of our products to commence on the second half of 2018.
Expansion to the existing Manufacturing Facility
On March 6, 2017 IntelGenx executed an agreement to lease approximately an additional 11,000 square feet in a property located at 6410 Abrams, St-Laurent, Quebec. The Lease has an 8 year and 5-month term commencing on October 1, 2017 and IntelGenx has retained two options to extend the Lease, with each option being for an additional five years. Under the terms of the Lease IntelGenx will be required to pay base rent of approximately CA$74 thousand (approximately $59 thousand) per year, which will increase at a rate of CA$0.25 ($0.20) per square foot every two years. IntelGenx plans to use the newly leased space to expand its manufacture of oral film VersaFilm TM.
21
The Company has initiated a project to expand the existing manufacturing facility, the timing of which will be dictated in part by the completion of agreements with our commercial partners. This expansion became necessary following requests by commercial partners to increase manufacturing capacity and provide solvent film manufacturing capabilities. The new facility should create a fivefold increase of our production capacity in addition to offering a one-stop shopping opportunity to our partners and provide better protection of our Intellectual Property. The Company has signed agreements in the amount of Euro1,911 thousand with three suppliers with respect to equipment for solvent film manufacturing. As at March 31, 2018 an amount of Euro988 thousand has been paid.
Most recent key developments
On January 09, 2018 the Company and its President and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Horst Zerbe presented an overview of the Companys business at the 10 th Annual Biotech Showcase conference at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square Hotel. Andre Godin, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and Dr. Dana Matzen, Vice President Business and Corporate Development, from the Company were also attending one-on-one meetings in San Francisco from January 8 through 10.
On January 24, 2018 the Company announced that it had initiated the Phase 2a proof of concept Montelukast VersaFilm clinical trial in Alzheimers patients, following clearance of the Clinical Trial Application by Health Canada. IntelGenx retained the services of Cogstate and JSS Medical Research as the Contract Research Organizations to support the Montelukast VersaFilm TM study. Cogstate is currently preparing cognitive testing materials and training for clinical staff and physicians to ensure proper administration of the cognitive testing. Once completed, it will also proceed with data analysis. JSS will monitor clinical trial sites to ensure protocol adherence. Patient screening is expected to begin in Q3 2018. The Phase 2a Montelukast Versafilm clinical trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled POC study that will enroll approximately 70 subjects with mild to moderate Alzheimers Disease across eight Canadian research sites. The primary study objectives will be to evaluate the safety, feasibility, tolerability, and efficacy of Montelukast buccal film following daily dosing for 26 weeks. IntelGenx is working to repurpose Montelukast as a therapeutic to treat neurodegenerative diseases by reformulating the drug into an oral film-based product. Montelukast has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 1997 for the treatment of asthma and seasonal allergic rhinitis. IntelGenx ' proprietary VersaFilm technology is especially suited for special needs patient populations, and the Montelukast VersaFilm product therefore offers many distinct advantages over tablets for Alzheimers Disease patients, including the avoidance and minimization of first-pass-effects, ease of administration, improved API bioavailability, lower dosing and toxicity, better acceptability and improved compliance. In a recent Phase 1 study, IntelGenx demonstrated that an oral film formulation of Montelukast is safe and tolerable in healthy subjects, reduces the first-pass-effect and has a 52% higher bioavailability compared to the regular Montelukast tablet, demonstrating a clear advantage of delivering Montelukast via film. IntelGenx ' oral film also crossed the blood-brain barrier, an essential feature for treating degenerative brain diseases.
On March 19, 2018 the Company announced that IntelGenx Corp., the Companys operating subsidiary, had entered into an agreement to acquire pharmaceutical consulting firm Laboval for total cash consideration of up to CA$5 million, subject to the acquired business achieving certain revenue milestones over the two years following closing. The Company intended to finance the Acquisition and related fees and costs by way of private placement equity financing. IntelGenx Corp.s obligation to close the Acquisition was conditional upon the Company raising at least US$10 million under the Offering. Proceeds raised in addition to those required for the Acquisition would have been used to finance the Companys Montelukast Phase 2b clinical trial as well as working capital. Laboval, based in Montreal, Quebec, is engaged in the business of pharmaceutical product testing, offering a comprehensive range of quality control testing for finished products and raw materials, as well as in-process testing, stability studies, forced degradation and regulatory services to the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, natural health, cosmetics and healthcare sectors. Laboval holds all necessary licenses and approvals of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Health Canada to carry on its business. Under the purchase agreement, approximately 40% of the purchase price would have been paid by the Company as of the closing date. Additional consideration in the form of an earn-out of up to 60% of the purchase price would have been payable over the two-year post-closing period, based on the achievement of certain revenue objectives for the acquired business. The closing of the Acquisition was expected to occur on or about March 30, 2018 and was subject to the Company raising at least US$10 million under the Offering and certain other customary closing conditions, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
22
On March 27, 2018 the Company announced that, due to market conditions, it will not be proceeding with the private placement previously announced on March 20, 2018. As a result, IntelGenx Corp., the Companys operating subsidiary, will not be proceeding with the previously announced proposed acquisition of LaboVal Inc., which was subject to the Company obtaining satisfactory financing.
All amounts are expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.
Currency rate fluctuations
Our operating currency is Canadian dollars, while our reporting currency is U.S. dollars. Accordingly, our results of operations and balance sheet position have been affected by currency rate fluctuations. In summary, our financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 report an accumulated other comprehensive loss due mainly to foreign currency translation adjustments of $714 due to the fluctuations in the rates used to prepare our financial statements, $72 of which negatively impacted our comprehensive loss for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018. The following Management Discussion and Analysis takes this into consideration whenever material.
Reconciliation of Comprehensive Loss to Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA)
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-US GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of the Adjusted EBITDA is presented in the table below. The Company uses adjusted financial measures to assess its operating performance. Securities regulations require that companies caution readers that earnings and other measures adjusted to a basis other than US-GAAP do not have standardized meanings and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA to measure its performance from one period to the next without the variation caused by certain adjustments that could potentially distort the analysis of trends in our operating performance, and because the Company believes it provides meaningful information on the Companys financial condition and operating results.
IntelGenx obtains its Adjusted EBITDA measurement by adding to comprehensive loss, finance income and costs, depreciation and amortization, income taxes and foreign currency translation adjustment incurred during the period. IntelGenx also excludes the effects of certain non-monetary transactions recorded, such as share-based compensation, for its Adjusted EBITDA calculation. The Company believes it is useful to exclude these items as they are either non-cash expenses, items that cannot be influenced by management in the short term, or items that do not impact core operating performance. Excluding these items does not imply they are necessarily nonrecurring. Share-based compensation costs are a component of employee and consultants remuneration and can vary significantly with changes in the market price of the Companys shares. Foreign currency translation adjustments are a component of other comprehensive income and can vary significantly with currency fluctuations from one period to another. In addition, other items that do not impact core operating performance of the Company may vary significantly from one period to another. As such, Adjusted EBITDA provides improved continuity with respect to the comparison of the Companys operating results over a period of time. Our method for calculating Adjusted EBITDA may differ from that used by other corporations.

Revenue
Total revenues for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 amounted to $239, representing an decrease of $1,114 or 82% compared to $1,353 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017. The decrease for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 compared to the last years corresponding period is mainly attributable to the decrease in upfront revenues of $408 and deferred revenues on monetization of $922 offset by an increase in R&D revenues of $218.
Cost of royalty and license revenue
We recorded $Nil for the cost of royalty and license revenue in the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 compared with $92 in the same period of 2017. This expense relates to a Project Transfer Agreement that was executed in May 2010 with one of our former development partners whereby we acquired full rights to, and ownership of, Forfivo XL®, our novel, high strength formulation of Bupropion hydrochloride, the active ingredient in Wellbutrin XL®. Pursuant to the Project Transfer Agreement, and following commercial launch of Forfivo XL® in October 2012, we are required, after recovering an aggregate $200 for management fees previously paid, to pay our former development partner 10% of net product sales received from the sale of Forfivo XL®. We recovered the final portion of the management fees in December 2014, thereby invoking payments to our former development partner. Following the monetization of Forfivo XL®s royalties, we are required to record 10% of the deferred revenues from the monetization as cost of royalty and license revenue until December 31, 2017 which represented $Nil for the first quarter of 2018.
Research and development (R&D) expenses
R&D expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 amounted to $797, representing an increase of $153 or 24%, compared to $644 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017.
The increase in R&D expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 is mainly attributable to increases in study costs of $160.
In the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 we recorded estimated Research and Development Tax Credits and refunds of $79, compared with $30 that was recorded in the same period of the previous year.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses
SG&A expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 amounted to $1,280, representing an increase of $376 or 41%, compared to $904 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017.
The increase in SG&A expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 is mainly attributable to an increase in professional fees of $288 and an increase in manufacturing expenses of $103. The increase in professional fees were mainly related to costs attributable to the aborted capital raise as well as the Laboval acquisition. These expenses are deemed to be non-recurring in nature.
Depreciation of tangible assets
In the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 we recorded an expense of $183 for the depreciation of tangible assets, compared with an expense of $170 thousand for the same period of the previous year.
25
Share-based compensation expense, warrants and stock based payments
Share-based compensation warrants and share-based payments expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 amounted to $50 compared to $170 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017.
We expensed approximately $45 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 for options granted to our employees in 2016, 2017 and 2018 under the 2016 Stock Option Plans, approximately $3 for options granted to non-employee directors in 2016 and 2017, and $2 for options granted to a consultant in 2016 compared with $49, $119 and $2 respectively that was expensed in the same period of the previous year.
There remains approximately $181 in stock based compensation to be expensed in fiscal 2018 and 2019, of which $178 relates to the issuance of options to our employees and directors during 2015 to 2017 and $3 relates to the issuance of options to a consultant in 2016. We anticipate the issuance of additional options and warrants in the future, which will continue to result in stock-based compensation expense.

Going Concern
The Company has financed its operations to date primarily through public offerings of its common stock, bank loans, royalty, up-front and milestone payments, license fees, proceeds from exercise of warrants and options, research and development revenues and the sale of U.S. royalty on future sales of Forfivo XL®. The Company has devoted substantially all of its resources to its drug development efforts, conducting clinical trials to further advance the product pipeline, the expansion of its facilities, protecting its intellectual property and general and administrative functions relating to these operations. The future success of the Company is dependent on its ability to develop its product pipeline and ultimately upon its ability to attain profitable operations. As of March 31, 2018, the Company had cash and short-term investments totaling approximately $2,383. The Company does not have sufficient existing cash and short-term investments to support operations for the next year following the issuance of these financial statements. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
26
Managements plans to alleviate these conditions include pursuing one or more of the following steps to raise additional funding, none of which can be guaranteed or are entirely within the Companys control:
| Raise funding through the possible sale of the Companys common stock, including public or private equity financings. | |
| Raise funding through debt financing. | |
| Continue to seek partners to advance product pipeline. | |
| Initiate oral film manufacturing activities. | |
| Initiate contract oral film manufacturing activities. |
If the Company is unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, or if it is unable to procure partnership arrangements to advance its programs, the Company would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate its research and development programs.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments or classifications that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be unable to realize the carrying value of its assets and to meet its liabilities as they become due.
Current assets
Current assets totaled $3,796 as at March 31, 2018 compared with $6,044 at December 31, 2017. The decrease of $2,248 is mainly attributable to a decrease in cash of approximately $973 and a decrease in short-term investments of approximately $1,548, offset by an increase in prepaid expenses of approximately $172.
Cash
Cash totaled $618 as at March 31, 2018 representing a decrease of $973 compared with the balance of $1,591 as at December 31, 2017.
