Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
September 30, 2020
(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, 2019. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020. 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 Company's 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 monetization of future revenues.  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 September 30, 2020, the Company had cash and short-term investments totaling approximately $1,531.  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. 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") as a global pandemic, which continues to spread throughout Canada and around the world. On March 23, 2020, the government of Quebec ordered the closure of all non-essential businesses effective March 25, 2020. Because of the nature of its operations, the Company is only partially affected by this order. The Company is aware of the impact on its business as a result of COVID-19 but uncertain as to the extent of this impact on its consolidated financial statements. This partial disruption, even temporary, may impact our operations and overall business by delaying the progress of our research and development programs and production activities. The Company has received the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy and has benefited from the Canada Emergency Commercial Rent Assistance program from its landlord. There is uncertainty as to the duration and hence the potential impact. As a result, we are unable to estimate the potential impact on our business as of the date of this filing.

2. Going Concern (Cont'd)

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's 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 Company's control:

  • Raise funding through the possible sale of the Company's 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 discontinue some of its operations. The current COVID-19 pandemic could continue to have a negative impact on the stock market, including trading prices of the Company's shares and its ability to raise new capital.

The accompanying consolidated interim 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 consolidated interim 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. Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

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 residual standalone selling price basis. The stand-alone selling price is estimated based on the comparable market prices, expected cost plus margin and the Company's historical experience.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (Cont'd)

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. 

Licensing and Collaboration Arrangements

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 Company's 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 Company's 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.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (Cont'd)

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.

Leases

Leases are classified as either finance leases or operating leases.  A lease is classified as a finance lease if any one of the following criteria are met: the lease transfers ownership of the asset by the end of the lease term, the lease contains an option to purchase the asset that is reasonably certain to be exercised, the lease term is for a major part of the remaining useful life of the asset or the present value of the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the asset.  A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not meet any one of these criteria.

Substantially all of the Company's operating leases are comprised of office space and property leases and the Company does not hold any finance leases.

For all leases at the lease commencement date, a right-of-use asset and a lease liability are recognized.  The right-of-use asset represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term.  The lease liability represents the present value of the lease payments under the lease.

The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which primarily comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any initial costs incurred, consisting mainly of brokerage commissions, less any lease incentives received.  All right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment.  The lease liability is initially measured the present value of the lease payments, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's secured incremental borrowing rate for the same term as the underlying lease.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (Cont'd)

Leases (Cont'd)

In April 2020, the FASB issued a Staff Question-and-Answer ("Q&A") to clarify whether lease concessions related to the effects of COVID-19 require the  application  of  the  lease  modification  guidance  under  the  new  lease  standard,  which  the Company  adopted  on  January  1,  2019.  Under  the  new  leasing standard, an entity would have to determine, on a lease by lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant, which would be accounted for under the lease modification framework, or if the lease concession was under the enforceable rights and  obligations  that  existed  in  the  original  lease,  which  would  be  accounted  for  outside  the  lease  modification  framework.  The Q&A provides entities with the option to elect to account for lease concessions as though the enforceable rights and obligations existed in the original lease as long as the total cash flows from the modified lease are substantially similar to the cash flows in the original lease. The Company has elected to use this option and, to  the  extent  that  a  rent  concession  is  granted  as  a  deferral  of  payments  but  total  payments  are  substantially  the  same,  the Company  will  account  for  the  concession as if no change has been made to the original lease

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following: the fixed noncancelable lease payments, payments for optional renewal periods where it is reasonably certain the renewal period will be exercised, and payments for early termination options unless it is reasonably certain the lease will not be terminated early.

Lease modifications result in remeasurement of the lease liability.

Lease expense for operating leases consists of the lease payments plus any initial direct costs, primarily brokerage commissions, and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.  Included in lease expense are any variable lease payments incurred in the period that were not included in the initial lease liability.

The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-tern leases that have a term of 12 months or less.  The effect of short-term leases on our right-of-use asset and lease liability was not material.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2020-06-Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity

The FASB issued ASU 2020-06,1 which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity's own equity.

These amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this Statement on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2019-12 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes

The FASB issued ASU 2019-12 which removes specific exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 in Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). It eliminates the need for an organization to analyze whether the following apply in a given period:

-Exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation;

-Exceptions to accounting for basis differences when there are ownership changes in foreign investments; and

-Exception in interim period income tax accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated losses.

The ASU also improves financial statement preparers' application of income tax-related guidance and simplifies GAAP for:

-Franchise taxes that are partially based on income;

-Transactions with a government that result in a step up in the tax basis of goodwill;

-Separate financial statements of legal entities that are not subject to tax; and

-Enacted changes in tax laws in interim periods.

These amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this Statement on its consolidated financial statements.

4. Inventory

Inventory as at September 30, 2020 consisted of raw materials in the amount of $273 (2019: $382) and finished goods in the mount of $6 (2019: $Nil).  An amount of $99 was recognized in Research and development expenses.

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 ($5,126,000). Pursuant to the Offering, the Corporation issued an aggregate principal amount of CAD$6,838,000 ($5,126,000) of Debentures at a price of CAD$1,000 ($750) 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 interest may be paid in common shares at the option of the Corporation.  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 ($1.01) (the "Conversion Price") per common share of the Corporation ("Share"), being a conversion rate of approximately 740 Shares per CAD$1,000 ($750) 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 ($571,000).

Together with the principal amount of CAD$6,838,000 ($5,126,000) of Debentures issued on July 12, 2017, the Company issued a total aggregate principal amount of CAD$7,600,000 ($5,697,000) of Debentures at a price of CAD$1,000 ($750) per Debenture.

On June 25, 2020, the debentureholders approved the extension of the maturity date of the convertible debentures from June 30, 2020 to June 30, 2022 and the conversion price was reduced from CAD$1.35 ($1.01) to CAD$0.50 ($0.38).  This extension was accounted for as an extinguishment and the debenture were re-measured at fair value on June 30, 2020.  This re-measurement resulted in a gain on extinguishment in the amount of CAD$547,000 ($401,000) recognized in finance and interest income. 

The components of the convertible debentures subsequent to the extension are as follows:

    September 30, 2020  
Face value of the convertible debentures $ 5,680  
Gain on extinguishment   (410 )
Transaction costs   (70 )

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 Canadian cannabis market with a non-prescription cannabis infused oral film expected to be launched in 2020.  In addition we are offering 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 leverage our proprietary drug delivery technologies and develop pharmaceutical products with tangible benefits for patients, 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 is based on three pillars: (1) out licensing commercial rights of our existing pipeline products, (2) partnering on contract development and manufacturing projects leveraging our various technology platforms, and (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

  • entering the veterinary market with VetaFilm™

  • repurposing existing drugs for new indications, and

  • developing generic drugs where high technology barriers to entry exist in reproducing branded films.

We have established a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility for the future manufacture of our VersaFilm™ and VetaFilm™ 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.  We 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. 


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.

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.

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 nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 report an accumulated other comprehensive loss due to foreign currency translation adjustments of $865 primarily due to the fluctuations in the rates used to prepare our financial statements, $108 of which negatively impacted our comprehensive loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020. The following Management Discussion and Analysis takes this into consideration whenever material.

Reconciliation of Comprehensive Loss to Adjusted Earnings (Loss) before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA (Loss))

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 Company's financial condition and operating results.


IntelGenx obtains its Adjusted EBITDA measurement by adding / (deducting) 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 consultant's remuneration and can vary significantly with changes in the market price of the Company's 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 Company's operating results over a period of time. Our method for calculating Adjusted EBITDA may differ from that used by other corporations.

The improvement in Adjusted EBITDA (Loss) of $1,102 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 is mainly attributable to an increase in revenues of $449 and a decrease in SG&A expenses of $672 before consideration of stock-based compensation, offset by an increase in R&D expenses of $19 before consideration of stock-based compensation. 

Adjusted EBITDA (Loss) improved by $1,811 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 to ($4,583) compared to ($6,394) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019. The improvement in Adjusted EBITDA (Loss) of $1,811 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 is mainly attributable to a decrease in R&D expenses of $561 before consideration of stock-based compensation, a decrease in SG&A expenses of $1,170 before consideration of stock-based compensation, and an increase in revenues of $80.

In August 2020, the Board of directors amended the expiration time of 600,000 stock options granted to the President and CFO under the 2006 Stock Option Plan on July 20, 2020.  The new expiration date is July 19, 2025, the original exercise price of $0.58 and all other terms remain unchanged.  This extension resulted in the recognition of additional stock-based compensation expense of $31 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020. 

Share-based compensation warrants and share-based payments expense for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 amounted to $48 compared to $80 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019. Share-based compensation warrants and share-based payments expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 amounted to $172 compared to $261 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019.

We expensed approximately $39 in the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 for options granted to our employees in 2018 and 2019 under the 2016 Stock Option Plan and approximately $9 for options granted to a consultant in 2018, compared with $68 and $12, respectively that was expensed in the same period of the previous year.

Going Concern

The Company has financed its operations to date primarily through public offerings of its common stock, convertible debentures, convertible notes, bank loans, royalty, up-front and milestone payments, license fees, proceeds from exercise of warrants and options, research and development revenues and the monetization of future revenues.  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 September 30, 2020, the Company had cash and short-term investments totaling approximately $1,531. 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. 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") as a global pandemic, which continues to spread throughout Canada and around the world. On March 23, 2020, the government of Quebec ordered the closure of all non-essential businesses effective March 25, 2020. Because of the nature of its operations, the Company is only partially affected by this order. The Company is aware of the impact on its business as a result of COVID-19 but uncertain as to the extent of this impact on its consolidated financial statements. This partial disruption, even temporary, may impact our operations and overall business by delaying the progress of our research and development programs and production activities. The Company has received the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy and has benefited from the Canada Emergency Commercial Rent Assistance program from its landlord. There is uncertainty as to the duration and hence the potential impact. As a result, we are unable to estimate the potential impact on our business as of the date of this filing.


These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's 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 Company's control:

  • Raise funding through the possible sale of the Company's 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 discontinue some of its operations. The current COVID-19 pandemic could continue to have a negative impact on the stock market, including trading prices of the Company's shares and its ability to raise new capital.

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 $3,501 as at September 30, 2020 compared with $3,220 at December 31, 2019. The increase of $281 is mainly attributable to increases in short-term investments of $614, accounts receivable of $598, investment tax credits receivable of $140 and prepaid expenses of $27, offset by a decrease in cash of $995 and inventory of $103.

Cash

Cash totaled $337 as at September 30, 2020 representing a decrease of $995 compared with the balance of $1,332 as at December 31, 2019.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable totaled $979 as at September 30, 2020 representing an increase of $598 compared with the balance of $381 as at December 31, 2019.  The increase related to the invoicing of revenues incurred in the three month period ended September 30, 2020.


Prepaid expenses

As at September 30, 2020 prepaid expenses totaled $197 compared with $170 as of December 31, 2019. The increase in prepaid expenses is attributable to advance payments made in September 2020 related to services to be provided in the remainder of the year.

Investment tax credits receivable

R&D investment tax credits receivable totaled approximately $515 as at September 30, 2020 compared with $375 as at December 31, 2019. The increase is attributable to the accrual estimated and recorded for the nine-month period ended in September 2020 and the fact that the 2019 amounts were not yet received.

Leasehold improvements and equipment

As at September 30, 2020, the net book value of leasehold improvements and equipment amounted to $5,752, compared to $6,365 at December 31, 2019. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 additions to assets totaled $98 and mainly comprised of $59 for manufacturing equipment, $31 for leasehold improvements, $5 for computer equipment and $3 for lab and office equipment, offset by depreciation expense of $536 and variation of foreign exchange fluctuation.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities totaled $2,212 as at September 30, 2020 compared with $1,941 as at December 31, 2019. The increase is mainly attributable to an increase in accrued liabilities as at September 30, 2020.

Long-term debt

Long-term debt totaled $988 as at September 30, 2020 (December 31, 2019 - $1,197).  An amount of $838 is attributable to term loan from the lender secured by a first ranking movable hypothec on all present and future movable property of the Company and a 50% guarantee by Export Development Canada, a Canadian Crown corporation export credit agency. The reimbursement of the term loan started in September 2015 and should be fully reimbursed by October 2021. In April 2020, as a result of the global pandemic, the lender granted the Company an automatic six-month moratorium of debt repayment.

An amount of $150 is attributable to a second loan secured by a second ranking on all present and future property of the Company reimbursable in monthly principal payments starting January 2018 to December 2021.  In March 2020, as a result of the global pandemic, the lender granted the Company an automatic six-month moratorium of debt repayment

Convertible debentures

Convertible debentures totaled $5,253 as at September 30, 2020 as compared to $5,642 as at December 31, 2019.  The Corporation issued a total aggregate principal amount of CAD$7,600,000 ($5,697,000) of debentures at a price of CAD$1,000 ($750) per debenture in July 2017 and August 2017.
