Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements |
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, 2021. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. IntelGenx Technologies Corp. (and collectively with IntelGenx Corp., our wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, "IntelGenx" or the "Company") prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("USA"). 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 IntelGenx Technologies Corp. and IntelGenx Corp. 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. 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.

2. 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.
Product revenue
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its products when the following conditions are met: delivery has occurred; the price is fixed or determinable; the collectability is reasonably assured and persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists
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.

2. 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. The finance leases are comprised of laboratory equipment 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 as 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.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Cont'd)
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.
Adoption of accounting policies
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.
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("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) ("ASU 2020-06") to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity's own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity's own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2022 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2022. The adoption of AASU 2020-06 had a substantial impact on the Company's balance sheet. The August 2021 convertible notes (note 8) contained a beneficial conversion feature. Under the new requirements, the beneficial conversion feature no longer requires to be recognized separately and the convertible notes are treated as a single financial liability. As such, the most significant impact were the reversals of the beneficial conversion feature and the deferred income tax liability.

atai Life Sciences ("atai") has granted to the Company a secured loan in the amount of $2,000,000, bearing interest at 8%. An additional advance for $500,000 was also granted in May 2021. Together with the initial amount of $2,000,000, atai has granted a total amount of $2,500,000 to the Company. In September 2021, the Company entered into an amended and restated secured loan agreement with atai pursuant to which atai has made two additional term loans available to the Company for $3,000,000 each, which will mature on January 5, 2024. The first loan was received on January 7, 2022 and the second loan will be made available on January 6, 2023, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions. The Loan Agreement also extends the maturity date for the current loans, in an aggregate amount of $2,500,000, to January 2024. The loan is guaranteed by the Company and secured by all present and future movable property, rights and assets of the Company, excluding any intellectual property or technology controlled or owned by the Company. The loan bears interest at 8%. The interest for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 amounts to $91,000 (2021: $10,000) and is recorded in financing and interest expense.

7. 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 ($5,472,000). Pursuant to the Offering, the Corporation issued an aggregate principal amount of CAD$6,838,000 ($5,472,000) of Debentures at a price of CAD$1,000 ($800) per Debenture. The Debentures had a maturity date of June 30, 2020 and 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 were 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 was CAD$1.35 ($1.08) (the "Conversion Price") per common share of the Corporation ("Share"), being a conversion rate of approximately 740 Shares per CAD$1,000 ($800) 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 ($610,000).
Together with the principal amount of CAD$6,838,000 ($5,472,000) of Debentures issued on July 12, 2017, the Corporation issued a total aggregate principal amount of CAD$7,600,000 ($6,082,000) of Debentures at a price of CAD$1,000 ($800) 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 ($1.08) to CAD$0.50 ($0.40). This extension was accounted for as an extinguishment and the debentures were re-measured at fair value on June 30, 2020.
The components of the convertible debentures are as follows:
March 31, 2022 |
December 31, 2021 |
|||||
Face value of the convertible debentures | $ | 4,003 | $ | 3,977 | ||
Transaction costs | (75 | ) | (74 | ) | ||
Accretion | 399 | 344 | ||||
Convertible debentures | $ | 4,327 | $ | 4,247 |

Company Background
We are a drug delivery company established in 2003 and headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Our focus is on the contract development and manufacturing of novel oral thin film products for the pharmaceutical market. More recently, we have made the strategic decision to enter the Canadian cannabis market with non-prescription cannabis infused oral film that launched in early 2021 and in 2020 we made the decision to enter the psychedelic market. As a full service CDMO, we are offering partners a comprehensive portfolio of pharmaceutical services, including pharmaceutical R&D, clinical monitoring, regulatory support, tech transfer, 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, for our partners and, once a developed product launches, retain the exclusive manufacturing rights.
Our primary growth strategy is based on providing CDMO services to the pharmaceutical industry by focusing on three key strategic areas: (1) psychedelics, (2) cannabis, and (3) animal health.
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. 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.
Product Opportunities that provide Tangible Patient Benefits
In addition to our three key strategic areas we will offer our services to develop 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.

COVID-19
Our operations and financial condition have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Though we were granted an exemption by local authorities which permitted us to continue operations during the COVID-19 pandemic, we nevertheless faced multiple operational and financial challenges. Despite these challenges, we have continually been able to minimize the impact on our overall performance.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we partially reorganized our operations and adopted a remote work policy for employees and management. We also benefited from the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy as well as the Canada Emergency Commercial Rent Assistance program from our landlord in fiscal year 2020.
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been, and remain, in compliance with all federal, provincial, and municipal regulations that have been put in place since the beginning of the pandemic. We will continue to monitor any further developments in this regard, with the health and safety of our employees and management as the primary concern.

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, 2022 report an accumulated other comprehensive loss mainly due to foreign currency translation adjustments of $1,703 primarily due to the fluctuations in the rates used to prepare our financial statements, $17 of which positively impacted our comprehensive loss for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022. 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.
27
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.
