LEXARIA BIOSCIENCE CORP.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

February 28, 2022

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)

 

1.

Nature of Business

 

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (“Lexaria”, “we”, “our” or the “Company”) is a biotechnology company pursuing the enhancement of the bioavailability of a diverse and broad range of active pharmaceutical ingredients (“APIs”) using our patented drug delivery technology DehydraTECHTM. Through continued validation of our research and development our focus is on national and international application for DehydraTECH.

 

Revenues are primarily derived from licensing fees for the use of the Company’s patented technology to partners who pay either a fee to use DehydraTECH in the manufacturing of their own products or through the purchase of DehydraTECH manufactured products made to their specifications by Lexaria. The Company has relationships with several consumer products companies in the CBD and nutraceuticals spaces that use Lexaria’s technology in consumer goods being sold online and at retailers in the US and Canada.

 

The Company is headquartered in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. The corporate website is www.lexariabioscience.com

 

Going Concern Analysis

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) applicable to a going concern which assumes the Company will have sufficient funds to pay it operational, research and development and capital expenditures for a period of at least 12 months from the date this financial report.

 

Since inception, the Company has incurred significant operating and net losses. The losses attributable to common shareholders were $4.2m, $4.1m and $4.2m for the years ended August 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of February 28, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $35.25m. We expect to continue to incur significant operational expenses and net losses in the upcoming 12 months. Our net losses may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year, depending on the stage and complexity of our R&D studies and related expenditures, the receipt of additional payments on the licencing of our technology, if any, and the receipt of payments under any current or future collaborations we may enter into.

 

On January 12, 2021, the Company closed an underwritten public offering for net proceeds of $9,471,497. In the fourth quarter of the year ended August 31, 2021, the Company received $4,015,043 from the exercise of warrants. We may offer additional securities for sale during fiscal year 2022 or thereafter in response to market conditions or other circumstances if we believe such a plan of financing is required to advance the Company’s business plans and is in the best interests of our stockholders.

 

The Company has evaluated whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As of February 28, 2022, the Company had cash of approximately $8.4m. We believe this is sufficient to enable the Company to fund its operating and R&D expenses and any capital expenditure requirements through one year from the issuance date of these unaudited consolidated financial statements.

To date, we have obtained cash and funded our operations primarily through equity financings and license agreements. In order to continue the development of our drug candidates, at some point in the future we expect to pursue one or more capital transactions, whether through the sale of equity securities, debt financing, license agreements or entry into strategic partnerships. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to raise additional capital in the future.

 

COVID-19

 

Impacts of COVID-19 Pandemic

 

The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 continues to present uncertainty and unforecastable new risks to the Company and its business plans. As of February 28, 2022, there has been no material impact on the Company’s financial position as a direct result of the pandemic. However, the Company has experienced some supply chain disruptions and shortages in the timely procurement of ingredients and supplies used in both our R&D activities and production. Management views this situation as transitory but cannot predict the length of time it may take for these disruptions to dissipate or if there will be a significant economic effect on the Company’s operations. In the interim, it may cause delays in carrying out our research studies and in our production schedules.

 

Restrictions on international travel presents a challenge in carrying out normal business activities related to corporate finance efforts and the pursuit of new customers throughout North America who might otherwise access to our licensees’ retail products. As a result, the pandemic has increased the risk of lower revenues and higher losses.

 

During the year ended August 31, 2020, we were in receipt of C$30,732 in COVID relief under the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy programs for employees which reduced our employment costs in that year. During fiscal 2020 we also received C$40,000 from the Canadian Government sponsored Emergency Business Account loan program. As specified by the terms of this program, we have repaid C$30,000 of the loan in fiscal 2021. The remaining 7,875 (C$10,000) of the loan payable is anticipated to be forgiven as directed under this program in the year ended August 31, 2023.

 

We continue to actively monitor the evolving effects of COVID-19 and may take further actions that alter our operations, including those that may be required by federal, state, provincial, or local authorities, or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees and third parties with which we do business. We do not know when it will become practical to relax or eliminate some or all these measures entirely. The economic effect of a prolonged pandemic is difficult to predict and could result in material financial impact in the Company’s future reporting periods.

 

2.

Significant Accounting Policies

 

The significant accounting policies of the Company are consistent with those of our audited financial statements on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2021.

3.

Basis of Consolidation

 

These interim consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries; Lexaria CanPharm ULC, Lexaria CanPharm Holdings Corp., PoViva Corp., Lexaria Hemp Corp., Kelowna Management Services Corp., and Lexaria Pharmaceutical Corp., and our 83.333% owned subsidiary Lexaria Nicotine LLC (16.667% Altria Ventures Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Altria Group, Inc.). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

4.

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company’s unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any subsequent period.

 

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated annual financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2021.

 

5.

Estimates and Judgements

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Some of the Company’s accounting policies require us to make subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. These accounting policies involve critical accounting estimates because they are particularly dependent on estimates and assumptions made by management about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimates are made. Although we have used our best estimates based on facts and circumstances available to us at the time, different estimates reasonably could have been used. Changes in the accounting estimates used by the Company are reasonably likely to occur from time to time, which may have a material effect on the presentation of financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Company reviews these estimates, judgments, and assumptions periodically and reflect the effects of revisions in the period in which they are deemed to be necessary. Although we believe that these estimates are reasonable actual results could differ.

 

In preparing these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2021.

Recent Accounting Guidance

 

Pronouncements Issued but Not Yet Adopted

 

In October of 2021, the FASB issued an update to Government Assistance (topic 832) to increase the transparency of government assistance and its disclosure in the notes to the financial statements. Amendments in this update take effect for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2021. Early application of the amendments is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of these standards to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The FASB subsequently issued amendments to ASU 2016-13, which have the same effective date and transition date of January 1, 2023. These standards require that credit losses be reported using an expected losses model rather than the incurred losses model that is currently used, and establishes additional disclosures related to credit risks. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, these standards now require allowances to be recorded instead of reducing the amortized cost of the investment. These standards limit the amount of credit losses to be recognized for available-for-sale debt securities to the amount by which carrying value exceeds fair value and requires the reversal of previously recognized credit losses if fair value increases. The Company does not currently expect the adoption of these standards to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Stock Options

 

The Company has established the Equity Incentive Plan whereby the board of directors may, from time to time, grant stock options up to the equivalent of 10% of the number of common shares issued and outstanding to directors, officers, employees, and consultants. Stock options granted must be exercised within five years from the date of grant or such lesser period as determined by the Company’s board of directors. The exercise price of an option is equal to or greater than the closing market price of the Company’s common shares on the day preceding the date of grant. The vesting terms of each grant are set by the board of directors. The Company did not grant any options during the quarter ended February 28, 2022.

Overview

 

Lexaria’s patented technology DehydraTECH improves the delivery of bioactive compounds while promoting healthy ingestion methods, lowers overall dosing, and is highly effective in active molecule delivery available in a range of formats from oral ingestible to oral buccal/sublingual to topical products. DehydraTECH substantially improves the rapidity and quantity of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (“API”) transport to the blood plasma and brain using the body’s natural process for distributing fatty acids via the oral route. This technology extends across many categories beyond the primary pharmaceutical focus of the Company from foods and beverages to cosmetic products and nutraceuticals.

Research & Development

 

Lexaria is advancing several R&D activities in both preclinical and clinical programs. Currently, our primary research program is the investigation of cannabidiol (CBD) for the reduction of hypertension with a human clinical trial initiated in Q3, 2022 and three human clinical trials concluded in calendar 2021. Other programs include nicotine for oral pouches and nicotine replacement therapy, antivirals and related compounds for COVID-19 and other viral diseases, PDE5 inhibitors, NSAIDS, hormones, and others. From time to time the Company will engage in contract R&D for third parties who are interested in evaluating DehydraTECH in their products.

 

During the quarter ended February 28, 2022, Lexaria incurred $275,213 (February 2021- $176,398) in R&D expenditures. Specific R&D programs are in ongoing development and align to our financial ability to undertake each research phase for each API. Due to our expanding portfolio coverage, we continually examine accelerated timetable options for testing, research, and development of each API. The first half of fiscal 2022 continued to highlight the direction of our research and development programs with confirmatory results from our ongoing programs. We are devoting an increasing proportion of our resources and focus towards pharmaceutical applications as launched in the prior fiscal year.

  

In September 2021 the Company reported successful results from its HYPER-H21-2 human study of DehydraTECH-CBD in arterial stiffness. On December 29, 2021, we announced the Company received approval of its study protocols submitted for our study HYPER-H21-4 from the Independent Review Board. This study is expected to consist of 60 volunteers between the ages of 40-70 using three daily doses of DehydraTECH-CBD, every day for the multi-week dosing duration of the study. The Study was initiated during the first week of April, 2022.

 

HYPER-H21-4 is a double blinded, randomized cross-over design study with a placebo control. Some volunteers will already be using leading standard of care hypertension drugs such as ACE inhibitors with or without diuretics which will help evaluate the efficacy of DehydraTECH-CBD with and without other hypertension treatments. The extended duration of the study will allow Lexaria to gather critical data monitoring of DehydraTECH-CBD over time and will evaluate the potential for longer term health benefits. This study should “de-risk” outcomes prior to Lexaria’s planned entry into regulatory pathways for the use of DehydraTECH-CBD to treat hypertension and possibly other forms of cardiovascular disease.

 

In October 2021 the Company reported results from its THC-A-21-1 in vivo study of DehydraTECH-THC showing it successfully elevated THC levels in blood plasma, requiring only 15 minutes at levels comparable to those achieved in 45 minutes with concentration-matched controls.

 

Lexaria also published results from its NIC-A21-1 in vivo trial of DehydraTECH-NICZ (nicotine benzoate) which was delivered via oral pouches. Favorable results were all statistically significant, supporting further evaluation of the candidate. Lexaria plans to progress to a larger investigation in human volunteers of DehydraTECH-nicotine versus leading brands. Lexaria is currently in the design phase of this proposed human clinical study, which will be independently funded with existing capital.

 

On February 2, 2022, results of our PDE5-A21-1 animal study were published by the Company which illustrated that in as little as four minutes after dosing, the DehydraTECH formulation delivered 74% more sildenafil into the bloodstream on average than the concentration-matched, generic control formulation. Seven minutes after dosing, the DehydraTECH-sildenafil formulation achieved an average blood level higher than the generic sildenafil control formulation reached at any point during the study.

Table of Contents

 

On March 15, 2022, the Company announced that the first phase of its epilepsy research program EPIL-A21-1 has commenced. The EPIL-A21-1 research program consists of two main studies to be performed in rodents following the first phase pilot animal model. The two main studies within the program are expected to begin in May/June 2022, and will involve both an acute seizure model induced by electrical stimulation (“MES”) as well as a chronic chemically induced seizure model (“RISE-SRS”). Lexaria has selected these models because they have been previously employed by other researchers studying the antiepileptic effects of CBD including select study work funded by GW with its Epidiolex® formulation (PubMed Reference Number 30588604).

 

The Company continues to report progress on its R&D programs through its filing of Form 8-Ks and other public releases. The results of these programs can also be found on the Company’s website: www.LexariaBioscience.com.

In November of 2021, we were advised that our first patent in Mexico, in the Company’s second patent family, had been allowed.

 

Subsequent to the quarter ended February 28, 2022, on March 8, 2022, the Company announced it has been granted a new patent entitled “Compositions Infused with Nicotine Compounds and Methods of Use Thereof”. The new Australian patent expands upon Lexaria’s international intellectual property rights to apply DehydraTECH enhancement technology to most oral forms of nicotine, including pills, tablets, lozenges, capsules, pouches, gums and sprays. The patent covers many different forms of nicotine including free base nicotine, nicotine salts, polymer resins of nicotine and other forms of nicotine complexes.

 

Due to the complexity of pursuing patent protection, the quantity of patent applications will vary continuously as each application advances or stalls. The Company is also filing new patent applications for new discoveries that arise from the Company’s R&D programs and, due to the inherent unpredictability of scientific discovery, it is not possible to predict if or how often such new applications might be filed.

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

On January 11, 2021, the Company filed an amendment and restatement of its articles of incorporation to effectuate a 1-for-30 reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. The purpose of the reverse stock split was to meet Nasdaq’s minimum stock price requirement. The reverse stock split did not change the number of authorized shares of common stock, which remains at 220,000,000 shares. All warrants, options, share and per share information in this Report gives retroactive effect to the 1-for-30 reverse stock split.

 

Public Offering

 

 On January 14, 2021, the Company closed an underwritten public offering with the issuance of 2,102,856 shares of the Company’s common stock priced at $5.25 per share with an equivalent number of five-year warrants at an exercise price of $6.58. Additionally, 227,161 Representative Warrants were issued as partial consideration to the underwriters of the offering that have a five-year term at an exercise price of $6.58. Net of fees and disbursements, the Company received net proceeds of $9,471,497.

  

LEXX Market Listing

 

The Company’s common stock was uplisted from trading on the OTCQX under “LXRP” to the Nasdaq Capital Market where our common stock and certain of our warrants began trading under the symbols “LEXX” and “LEXXW”, respectively, effective as of the opening of market trading on January 12, 2021.

 

The Company, trading under the symbol “LXX”, voluntarily delisted from the Canadian Securities Exchanges (“CSE”) effective after the closing of trading on Wednesday, July 7, 2021. The overwhelming majority of trading had moved to Nasdaq and by delisting from the CSE the Company expected to realize savings in fees and managerial time and effort that had been required to maintain a dual listing.

Asset Sale

 

On December 9, 2020, Lexaria CanPharm ULC (“CanPharm”) completed a disposition (the “Disposition”) of its use and licensing rights to use its DehydraTECH technology (the “Assets”) specifically in association with non-pharmaceutical products containing cannabis molecules that contain 0.3% or greater THC. The purpose of the Disposition was to remove the Company’s association with cannabis as it remains a Schedule 1 Drug and thereby eliminating any such regulatory restrictions cannabis products may create. The Disposition assisted the Company in obtaining a listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) on January 12, 2021. As a result of the Disposition, CanPharm assigned to the purchaser, Hill Street, license agreements with three existing non-related party licensees.

 

In consideration for the Assets, Hill Street provided CanPharm with C$350,000 cash, a promissory note bearing a principal amount of C$2,000,000 and bearing an interest rate of 10% (the “Note”) and C$1,500,000 in shares of Hill Street, issuable in three tranches by April 9, 2022, of which C$1,149,939.43 worth of Hill Street stock has been issued to CanPharm to date. The repayment of the Note does not have a fixed maturity date and is based on quarterly installments equal to 5% of the gross sales realized by Hill Street of DehydraTECH enabled products. Due to the uncertainty pertaining to the settlement of the Note, management concluded that the note had $Nil value at the time of the sale and was recorded as such. Some of the factors considered in the $Nil valuation of the Note were that the legal sales of THC products in the US and Canada have little or no history which made the expectant quarterly payments very difficult to forecast. Further, Hill Street had no experience selling THC products and at the time of the sale was not licensed to produce and sell such products. Therefore, the Company considered risk of default high and the collectability of the Note as highly doubtful. Since the date of sale Hill Street has repaid $4,585 in the year-ended August 31, 2021. Subsequent to fiscal 2021, the Company has received a further $10,858, included in other revenues, as payment toward the balance of the Note and accumulated interest on the Note.

 

Impact of COVID-19

 

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to present uncertainty and unforecastable new risks to the Company and its business plan. Restrictions on national and international travel and required business closures present challenges in carrying out normal business activities related to corporate finance efforts and the pursuit of new customers throughout North America who might otherwise access the retail products of our licensees. As a result, the pandemic has increased risk of lower revenues and higher losses. To date, we have not experienced a material impact on our financial statements, impairments of any of our assets or any major business disruptions, including with our vendors.

 

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact the progress of our research and development programs is subject to future developments which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence. We continue our efforts to be proactive in managing the impact from the pandemic, including various actions to communicate with suppliers, customers, and project participants as we may deem appropriate.

 

We have made modifications to our normal operations including requiring team members to work remotely on a staggered basis. To the extent possible, we are conducting business as usual, with necessary or advisable modifications to employee travel. At this time, these measures will continue in force for the near term.

 

We will continue to actively monitor the rapidly evolving situation related to COVID-19 and may take further actions that alter our operations, including those that may be required by federal, state, provincial, or local authorities, or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees and other third parties with whom we do business. We do not know when, or if, it will become practical to relax or eliminate some or all these measures entirely.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with US GAAP. These accounting principles require management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses during the periods reported. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are reasonable based on information available to management at the time that such estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates, judgments and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financials. For a discussion of our critical accounting estimates, please read Note 2 to our financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2021. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting estimates previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2021.

 

Capital Assets

 

Capital assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and depreciated using the straight-line method over their useful lives or otherwise by units of production.

 

Patents

 

US patent costs, which represent legal costs incurred to establish US granted patents, are capitalized. Capitalized patent costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the patent. When US patents reach a mature stage, any associated legal costs, including typical maintenance fees, are expensed as incurred. In the period ended February 28, 2022, the Company recognized $15,840 attributable to capitalized patents. All other patent costs are expensed when incurred.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Product Revenue

 

Revenue from the sale of products is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured, which typically occurs upon shipment. The Company reports its sales net of actual sales returns.

 

Licensing Revenue from Intellectual Property

 

We recognize revenue for license fees at a point in time following the transfer of our intellectual property, our patented lipid nutrient infusion technology DehydraTECH for infusing APIs, to the licensee, which typically occurs on delivery of documentation.

Table of Contents

 

Usage Fees from Intellectual Property

 

We recognize revenue for usage fees when usage of our DehydraTECH intellectual property occurs by licensees infusing an API into one or more of their product lines for sale.

 

Funding Requirements

 

We anticipate that our expenditures will increase in connection with our ongoing R&D program, specifically with respect to our animal and human clinical trials of our DehydraTECH formulations for the purposes of treating hypertension and infectious diseases. As we move forward with our Investigational New Drug application with the FDA, we anticipate that our expenditures will further increase and accordingly, we expect to incur increased operating losses and negative cash flows for the foreseeable future.

 

Through February 28, 2022, we have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from the sale of our common stock. The Company has consistently incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations, including net losses of $3,452,156 and $316,931 for the six months ended February 28, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

  

The continuation of our Company as a going concern is dependent upon our Company raising additional capital and/or attaining and maintaining profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recovery and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should our Company discontinue operations. The recurring losses from operations and net capital deficiency do raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year following the date that these consolidated financial statements are issued. As of the issuance date of these consolidated interim financial statements, we expect our cash and cash equivalents of approximately $8.4m as at February 28, 2022, will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through the forthcoming 12 months from the issuance date of this report.

Revenue

 

Product revenues of $17k and licensing usage fees of $16k during period ended February 28, 2022, constitute a significant decline in intermediate product sales and related licensing usage fees. Our primary customer in the B2B product revenue stream has been delayed in chain-store rollouts resulting in overstocked inventory and as such there was no manufacturing & sales of new inventory for this licensee for the quarter ended February 28, 2022.A number of our other licensees are experiencing suspended or curtailed business activities due to the impact of COVID-19 on markets and consumer spending. The abilities of other licensees to generate ongoing sales, thereby increasing usage fees are expected to increase as the effects of the pandemic are eventually diminished and the market acceptance of the products continue to develop. We have continued strong interest in our intermediate products but cannot predict how long the pandemic will affect purchasing decisions of retail customers that ultimately affect the consumer product manufacturers that utilize our intermediate products. Nor can we predict when recovery of the general economy will translate into increasing licensing or usage revenues.

 

Our licensing revenues consist of IP licensing fees for the transfer of the Technology and usage fees that occur over time. IP licensing fees are due at the signing of definitive agreements for the Technology and can include payments due upon transfer of the Technology and installment payments that are receivable within 12 months.

 

Research and Development

 

Expenditures on R&D increased by $366k for the period ended February 28, 2022, as the company undertook several studies within its 2022 applied research and development program focusing on DehydraTECH-CBD to treat hypertension.

 

Consulting Fees and Salaries

 

Our consulting fees increased by $335k primarily due to non-cash stock-based compensation on options granted and vested ($287k) in the six months ended February 28, 2022, and increased salaries due to hiring within our R&D, investor relations and accounting departments.

 

Legal and Professional Fees

 

Our professional fees decreased by $102k during the period compared to the same period in the prior year. Prior year expenditures were higher due to increased patent and trademark filings, the up list to the Nasdaq Capital Markets, and additional advisory services utilized. We recognize certain legal fees, tax advice fees, and accounting services all as “Professional Fees.”  

 

General and Administrative

 

Included in general and administrative expenses during the six months ended February 28, 2021 was the gain on the sale of assets ($1.5m) which accounts for approximately half of the year-over-year change. Other general and administrative expenses increased by $675k during the period ended February 28, 2022, over the same period last year. The increase is primarily comprised of expenditures on investor relations and advertising ($505k) and the unrealized losses on marketable securities ($264k) offset by lower general expenses ($74k) and bad debs ($25k).

Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended February 28, 2022, increased by $723k for the period compared with cash used in operating during the same period in 2021. This difference was largely due to the increased expenditures pertaining to R&D, professional fees, and our stakeholders outreach programs.

 

Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $93k due to increased spending on capitalized US patents filings and the purchase of equipment in the six months ended February 28, 2022, compared to 2021 which saw an inflow of cash from the sale of assets to Hill Street.

  

Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided from financing activities during the period ended February 28, 2022, is due to the amortized right-of-use lease payments. Cash provided by financing activities in the six months ended February 28, 2021, of $9.4m primarily related to the underwritten public offering that closed January 21, 2021.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have accumulated a large deficit since inception that has primarily resulted from executing our business plan, including R&D expenditures, in seeking to identify and develop our intellectual property patents for licensing and product creation. We expect to continue to incur losses for at least the short term.

 

To date, we have obtained cash and funded our operations primarily through equity financings and limited amounts from revenue generation while our licensees ramp up production and market expansions. We expect to continue to evaluate various funding alternatives on an ongoing basis as needed to maintain operations, to continue our research programs and to expand our patent portfolio. If we determine it is advisable to raise additional funds, there is no assurance that adequate funding will be available to us or, if available, that such funding will be available on terms that we or our stockholders view as favorable. Market volatility and global economics may have a significant impact on the availability of funding sources and the terms at which any funding may be available.

Short Term Liquidity

 

On February 28, 2022, we had $8.4m cash and $10.4m of working capital. Based on our current and upcoming research and development programs and our projected general and administration expenditures, we have determined that our cash resources are sufficient to allow us to continue operations through at least the next twelve months from the issuance date of this Quarterly Report.

 

Long Term Liquidity

 

It will require substantial cash to achieve our objectives for developing and patenting our intellectual property across all applicable market and industry segments. This process typically takes many years and potentially millions of dollars for each segment. If we pursue full commercial exploitation of all applicable market and industry segment opportunities, we will need to obtain significant funding from existing or new relationships, increasing revenue streams or from other sources of liquidity such as the sale of equity, issuance of debt or other transactions.

 

Cash requirements will vary depending on the results of our research programs and the requirements of each industry segment pursued. Pursuit of each segment will progress or be curtailed based on available sources of cash with which to execute individual segment business plans. The requirements will also be affected by transactions with existing or new relationships and the depth of regulatory requirements in each segment for compliance required to approve our IP and to market and license it. These changes to requirements and transactions may impact our liquidity as well as affect our expenditures.  

  

Item 3. Controls and Procedures 

 

Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As of February 28, 2022, the quarter covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO, President and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our CEO, President, and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of February 28, 2022.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Responsibility estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of control procedures. The objectives of internal control include providing management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2022. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Our management has concluded that, as of February 28, 2022, our internal control over financial reporting is effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with US GAAP. Our management reviewed the results of their assessment with our Board.

 

Inherent limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

 

Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations which include but is not limited to the use of independent professionals for advice and guidance, interpretation of existing and/or changing rules and principles, regulations, segregation of management duties, scale of organization, and personnel factors. Internal control over financial reporting is a process which involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human error. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis, however these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process and it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the quarter ended February 28, 2022, our controls and controls processes remained consistent with our fiscal year ended August 31, 2021. There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended February 28, 2022, that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

Our control processes are designed to include remote workers, which we have utilized for many years. The advent of the COVID-19 pandemic has not materially impacted our internal controls over financial reporting other than increasing requirements for social distancing and some additional remote working requirements for staff.
