LEXARIA BIOSCIENCE CORP.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

November 30, 2023

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)

(Unaudited)

 

 

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 (“API”) using DehydraTECHTM, our patented proprietary drug delivery technology.

 

Revenues are generated from licensing contracts for the Company’s patented DehydraTECH technology based on the terms of use and defined geographic and licencing arrangements. We derive income from our third party contracted manufacturing of B2B DehydraTECH enhanced products made to customer specifications that are sold online and in-store in the US and Canada. We also perform contract services in R&D for customer specific formulations that are used in comparison testing to customers’ existing products.

 

Liquidity and Going concern

 

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 meet its financial obligations for a period of at least 12 months from the date this report.

 

Since inception, the Company has incurred significant operating and net losses. Net losses attributable to shareholders were $1.2 million and $1.8 million for the quarters ended November 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of November 30, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $46.9 million. 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 corporate expenditures, additional revenues received from the licensing of our technology, if any, and the receipt of payments under any current or future collaborations we may enter into. The recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

During the quarter ended November 30, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement whereby on October 3, 2023, the Company issued, to a single healthcare-focused institutional investor, 889,272 shares of common stock and 729,058 pre-funded warrants in a registered direct offering. In a concurrent private placement, the Company also sold to the investor, warrants to purchase up to 1,618,330 shares of common stock. The combined effective offering price for each share of common stock (or pre-funded warrant in lieu thereof) and accompanying warrant was $0.97 (to note the pre-funded warrants were issued at a price of $0.9699 and have an exercise price of $0.0001). The warrants will become exercisable six months from issuance, expire five and a half years from the issuance date, and have an exercise price of $0.97 per share.

 

lxrp_10qimg19.jpg

Page 7 of 34

 

 

Table of Contents

 

The net proceeds to the Company from the registered direct offering and concurrent private placement totaled $1.25 million, after deducting placement agent fees and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.

 

To date all of the pre-funded warrants have been exercised, resulting in an issuance by the Company of an aggregate 729,058 common shares for gross proceeds of approx. 73 dollars.

 

During the quarter ended November 30, 2023, the Company also issued an aggregate 601,661 common shares pursuant to the exercise of warrants that were issued under our May 11, 2023, financing, at an exercise price of $0.95 per share for gross proceeds of $571,578.

 

We may also offer securities 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. There is no certainty that future equity or debt financing will be available or that it will be at acceptable terms and the outcome of these matters is unpredictable. A lack of adequate funding may force us to reduce spending, curtail or suspend planned programs or possibly liquidate assets. Any of these actions could adversely and materially affect our business, cash flow, financial condition, results of operations, and potential prospects. The sale of additional equity may result in additional dilution to our stockholders. Entering into additional licencing agreements, collaborations, partnerships, alliances marketing, distribution, or licensing arrangements with third parties to increase our capital resources is also possible. If we do so we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.

 

Based on existing cash resources, management believes that current funding will be sufficient to meet the Company’s financial obligations for a period of at least twelve months from the date of this report. In making this assessment, the Company believes that this alleviates the substantial doubt in connection with the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of presentation and consolidation

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. All amounts, unless otherwise stated, are in U.S. dollars.

 

These consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Lexaria Pharmaceutical Corp., Lexaria Hemp Corp., Lexaria CanPharm ULC, Lexaria Nutraceutical Corp., Poviva Corp., Lexaria CanPharm Holding Corp., and Kelowna Management Services Corp. The Company owns 83.3% of Lexaria Nicotine LLC and the remaining 16.7% is owned by Altria Ventures Inc. (an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Altria Group, Inc.). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash-on-hand and demand deposits with financial institutions and other short-term investments with maturities of less than three months when acquired and readily convertible to known cash amounts. The Company had no cash equivalents as of November 30, 2023 or November 30, 2022.

Table of Contents

 

Marketable Securities

 

The Company’s marketable securities consist of investments in common stock. Investments in equity securities are reported at fair value with changes in unrecognized gains or losses included in other income (loss) on the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Leases

 

The Company accounts for its leases under ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). Under this guidance, arrangements meeting the definition of a lease are classified as operating or financing leases, and are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as both a right of use asset and lease liability.

 

We determined the initial classification and measurement of our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement date and thereafter if modified. The lease term includes any renewal options and termination options that we are reasonably certain to exercise. The present value of lease payments is determined by using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate is readily determinable; otherwise, we use our incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is determined by using the rate of interest that we would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis an amount equal to the lease payments for a similar term and in a similar economic environment.

 

Operating lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis, unless the right-of-use asset has been impaired, over the reasonably certain lease term based on the total lease payments. They are included in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

For operating leases that reflect impairment, we will recognize the amortization of the right-of-use asset on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term with rent expense still included in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. For all leases, rent payments that are based on a fixed index or rate at the lease commencement date are included in the measurement of lease assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement date.

 

We have elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components. Our non-lease components are primarily related to property taxes and maintenance, which vary based on future outcomes, and thus differences to original estimates are recognized in rent expense when incurred.

 

Intellectual property

 

Capitalized intellectual property costs include those incurred with respect to both pending and granted patents filed  in the United States. When patent applications are filed, the directly related capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated economic life of 20 years.

 

Equipment

 

Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment and depreciated using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the various asset classes. Laboratory and computer equipment and office furniture are depreciated over 3-10 years. Certain production equipment is depreciated by units of production method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the related leases, or the economic life of the improvements, whichever is shorter.

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

Long-lived assets, including equipment and intangible assets, namely the Company’s patents, are assessed for potential impairment when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Any required impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value and is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset and a charge to the profit or loss. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment annually and in interim periods if certain events occur indicating that the carrying value of the intangible assets may be impaired.

 

Revenue recognition

 

Licensing revenue from intellectual property

 

Our revenues from licenses that grant the right to access our intellectual property, which we consider symbolic licenses of IP, are recognized over time following the transfer and use of our patented infusion technology DehydraTECH. Royalty revenues are recognized in the period in which our licensees sell the related products and recognize the related revenue.

 

Usage fees from intellectual property

 

We recognize usage fees from B2B clients in the period in which the counterparty completes the manufacturing which incorporates DehydraTECH enabled APIs into the related product. We generally recognize revenue when we have satisfied all contractual obligations and are reasonably assured of collecting the resulting receivable. Non-refundable minimum fees are recognized as revenue over the period to which they apply.

 

 Product revenue

 

We generally recognize revenue when we have satisfied all contractual obligations and are reasonably assured of collecting the resulting receivable. We are often entitled to bill our customers and receive payment from our customers in advance of recognizing the revenue.

 

Cost of sales

 

Cost of sales includes all expenditures incurred in bringing the goods to the point of sale This includes third-party manufacturing and handling costs, direct costs of the raw material, inbound freight charges, warehousing costs, and applicable overhead expenses.

 

Research and development

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. These expenditures are comprised of both in-house research programs and through third-party contracts including consultants, academic and non-profit institutions, contract manufacturing, and other expenses.

Intellectual property expenses

 

Non-capitalizable costs associated with intellectual property-related matters are expensed as incurred and included in general and administrative expenses within the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Stock-based compensation

 

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation awards whereby all stock-based grants are recognized as expenses in the consolidated statements of operations based on the fair value at grant date subject to vesting dates and amortized over the related vesting period. The grant date fair value of each option award is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the common stock consistent with the expected life of the option, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yields of the common stock.

 

Foreign currency translation

 

The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The Company has foreign operations whose functional currency is the local currency. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars, the reporting currency, at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Foreign currency translation adjustments resulting from this process are reported as an element of other comprehensive income (loss) on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Transactions executed in different currencies are translated at spot rates and resulting foreign exchange transaction gains and losses are charged to income.

 

Loss per share

 

The calculation of loss per share uses the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net income per share includes the effect, if any, from the potential exercise or conversion of securities, such as restricted stock and stock options, which would result in the issuance of incremental shares of common stock. Diluted loss per share is equivalent to basic loss per share if the potential exercise of the equity-based financial instruments is anti-dilutive.

 

Income taxes

 

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

Financial instruments

 

When measuring fair value, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. This establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Inputs are prioritized into three levels used to measure fair value:

 

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

 

 

 

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

 

 

 

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable and payable, accrued liabilities and loan payable. The carrying amounts of instruments approximate their fair values due to their short maturities or quoted market prices.

 

The Company’s headquarters and operations are located in Canada which results in exposure to market risks from fluctuations in foreign currency rates. The foreign currency exchange risk is the financial risk to the Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk as the impact of rate changes for USD/CAD dollars is not expected to be material.

Credit risk and customer concentration

 

The Company places its cash with a high credit quality financial institution. Periodically, the Company may carry cash balances at such financial institution in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes, based upon the quality of the financial institution, that the credit risk with regard to these deposits is not significant. 

 

In the three months ended November 30, 2023, two customers accounted for 96% (2022 – two customers accounted for 95%) of consolidated revenues.

 

As of November 30, 2023, the Company had $90,925 (2022 - $48,598) in sales tax receivable. The Company considers its credit risk to be low for such receivables.

 

Commitments and contingencies

 

The Company policy is to record accruals for any such loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. In the event that estimates or assumptions prove to differ from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information. The Company, from time to time, may be subject to legal claims and proceedings related to matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Management has no knowledge of any such claim against the Company with, at minimum, a reasonable possibility that a material loss may be incurred.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the prior period have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.

Estimates and Judgments

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the fiscal 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.

 

Management reviews our estimates, judgments, and assumptions periodically and reflects the effects of any revisions in the period in which they are deemed to be necessary. We believe that these estimates are reasonable. However, actual results could differ from these estimates.

3. Recent Accounting Guidance

 

Recently Adopted Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This Accounting Standards Update represents a significant change in the accounting for credit losses model by requiring immediate recognition of management’s estimates of current expected credit losses (CECL). Under the prior model, losses were recognized only as they were incurred. The Company has determined that it has met the criteria of a smaller reporting company ("SRC") as of  November 15, 2019. As such, ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Derivatives and Hedging, and Leases: Effective Dates amended the effective date for the Company to be for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective September 1, 2023 and determined that its impact on the accompanying consolidated financial statements is immaterial.

11. Common Shares and Warrants

 

During the quarter ended November 30, 2023, the Company completed the following issuances of common shares and warrants:

 

1.

On October 3, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with a single healthcare-focused institutional investor to purchase 889,272 shares of common stock and 729,058 pre-funded warrants in a registered direct offering. In a concurrent private placement, the Company also sold to the investor, warrants to purchase up to 1,618,330 shares of common stock. The combined effective offering price for each share of common stock (or pre-funded warrant in lieu thereof) and accompanying warrant was $0.97 (to note the pre-funded warrants were issued at a price of $0.9699 and have an exercise price of $0.0001). The warrants will become exercisable six months from issuance, expire five and a half years from the issuance date, and have an exercise price of $0.97 per share.

 

 

 

The net proceeds to the Company from the registered direct offering and concurrent private placement were $1.25 million, after deducting placement agent fees and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.

 

 

 

 To date all of the pre-funded warrants have been exercised, resulting in an issuance by the Company of an aggregate 729,058 common shares for gross proceeds of approx. 73 dollars.

 

 

2.

The Company issued an aggregate 601,661 common shares pursuant to the exercise of warrants that were issued under our May 11, 2023, financing, at an exercise price of $0.95 per share for gross proceeds of $571,578 of which $33,250 was being held in Lexaria’s trust account with the warrant agent at November 30, 2023.

Stock Options

 

The Company has established an Equity Incentive Plan which was most recently amended by the Company’s shareholders on May 9, 2023. Pursuant to the amendments, the Equity Incentive Plan now has an evergreen formula, whereby on January 1 each year commencing January 1, 2024, the number of shares issuable pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan may be increased to a number equal to up to 10% of the issued share capital on December 31 of the previous year. The Company is currently in the process of preparing its S-8 Registration Statement to register an additional 527,111 common shares issuable pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan, for an aggregate 1,037,544 common shares issuable under the Equity Incentive Plan. Stock options currently 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 vesting terms of each grant are also set by the 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.

Company Overview

 

Lexaria’s DehydraTECH patented technology 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.

 

Lexaria is advancing several R&D activities in both preclinical and planned future clinical programs. During the quarter ended November 30, 2023, Lexaria completed a human pilot study to investigate whether DehydraTECH-enhanced Rybelsus™ could offer greater benefits than Rybelsus on its own. As noted in our press releases issued on November 27 and 28, 2023, our initial findings found that DehydraTECH-enhanced Rybelsus: sustained higher levels of semaglutide in blood; had faster achievement of peak drug delivery; had reduced side effects; sustained lower levels of blood glucose and lowered blood-glucose spike after eating.

 

The Company continues to engage in small R&D projects and B2B formulation for third parties who are evaluating our technology for use in their products. 

 

Patents

 

Our current patent portfolio includes patent family applications or grants pertaining to Lexaria’s method of improving bioavailability and taste, and the use of DehydraTECH as a delivery platform, orally or topically, for a wide variety of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (“APIs”) encompassing cannabinoids; fat soluble vitamins; NSAIDs pain medications; and nicotine and its analogs. The pending and granted patents also cover the manufacturing and processing methods used to combine fatty acids with active pharmaceutical ingredients. This includes heating and drying methods and use of excipients and substrates.

 

The Company currently has several applications pending worldwide and due to the complexity of pursuing patent protection, the quantity of patent applications will vary continuously as each application advances or stalls. We continue to investigate national and international opportunities to investigate expansions and additions to our intellectual property portfolio. Patents have been filed specifically for the use of DehydraTECH with cannabinoids for the treatment of heart disease and hypertension to support our anticipated Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application with the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), and for treatment of epilepsy.

 

We will continue to seek beneficial acquisitions of intellectual property if and when we believe it is advisable to do so. Due to the inherent unpredictability of scientific discovery, it is not possible to predict if or how often such new applications might be filed or patents issued.

Research & Development

 

Lexaria is advancing several R&D activities in both preclinical and clinical programs. Currently, our primary research programs are the investigation of cannabidiol (“CBD”) for the reduction of hypertension leading to an application under the FDA for an IND and the investigation of optimal formulations of DehydraTECH-enhanced glucagon-like peptide-1 (“GLP-1”) drugs.  Other programs include DehydraTECH formulation development and testing with nicotine for oral pouches and prospective nicotine replacement therapy, human hormones, CBD for diabetes, dementia, seizures 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 November 30, 2023, Lexaria incurred $574,491 (November 2022 - $829,489) 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 patent portfolio coverage, we continually examine accelerated timetable options for testing, research, and development of each API. Fiscal 2024 continues to highlight the direction of our research and development programs with confirmatory results from our ongoing programs.  Our R&D programs are focused on three core business segments: pharmaceutical applications, reduced-risk non-combusted nicotine and CBD from hemp. Of these three, we do not expect to make any significant expenditures during fiscal 2024 on non-combusted nicotine R&D.

 

Investigational New Drug

 

The FDA provided Lexaria with a positive written response on August 10, 2022, from our pre-IND meeting regarding DehydraTECH-CBD for the treatment of hypertension. The FDA confirmed that it has agreed with Lexaria’s proposal to pursue a 505(b)(2) new drug application (“NDA”) regulatory pathway for our program. We continue working toward our IND filing which is anticipated to be in early 2024. We have selected InClin Inc. as our contract research organization (“CRO”) to perform the IND study which will be a Phase 1(b) study that we are designating HYPER-H23-1. We have completed manufacturing our IND drug product through our third-party contract manufacturer, in compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practice (“cGMP”) regulations as mandated by the FDA, which has completed its stability testing.  Along with our CRO, we have begun certain administrative study start-up tasks associated with preparation to perform study HYPER-H23-1 when ready to be initiated following IND effectiveness.  As noted in our press release of December 7, 2023, the necessary information required of our third party material supplier in order for Lexaria to submit its IND application with the FDA has now been provided and Lexaria anticipates submitting its IND application on or before January 31, 2024.  Provided that the FDA does not issue any objections within 30 days after the IND application is submitted, Lexaria will be able to commence its IND Clinical Trial, subject to any required financing.

 

GLP-1 Investigation

 

During the quarter ended November 30, 2023, Lexaria commenced its investigations to examine DehydraTECH-enhanced GLP-1 drugs.  The initial investigation was a pilot study with seven (7) healthy volunteers whereby four (4) volunteers were dosed with DehydraTECH-enhanced Rybelsus and three (3) volunteers were dosed with regular Rybelsus.  As noted in our press releases issued on November 27 and 28, 2023, our initial findings found that DehydraTECH-enhanced Rybelsus:  sustained higher levels of semaglutide in blood; had faster achievement of peak drug delivery; had reduced side effects; sustained lower levels of blood glucose and lowered blood-glucose spike after eating.  In December 2023 the same volunteers returned for a second dose, but in the reverse order to effect a cross-over design.  The results from the second dosing are expected to be disclosed in the first calendar quarter of 2024.

 

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 Policies and 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. Based on information available to management at the time, these estimates, judgments and assumptions are considered reasonable. 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. 

 

lxrp_10qimg19.jpg

Page 26 of 34

 

 

Table of Contents

 

For a discussion of our critical accounting estimates, please read Note 4, Estimates and Judgements, as found in the financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2023.  There have been no material changes to the critical accounting estimates as previously disclosed in our 2023 Form 10-K.

 

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 our investigations with GLP-1 drugs.  As we move forward with our IND 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 November 30, 2023, we have funded our operations primarily through the proceeds from the sale of common stock. The Company has consistently incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations, including net losses of $1,185,038 and $1,769,306 for the three months ended November 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively. 

 

The continuation of Lexaria as a going concern depends on 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 raise substantial 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.

 

On September 28, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with a single healthcare-focused institutional investor to purchase, as at October 3, 2023, 889,272 shares of common stock and 729,058 pre-funded warrants in a registered direct offering. In a concurrent private placement, the Company also sold to the investor, warrants to purchase up to 1,618,330 shares of common stock. The combined effective offering price for each share of common stock (or pre-funded warrant in lieu thereof) and accompanying warrant was $0.97 (to note the pre-funded warrants were issued at a price of $0.9699 and have an exercise price of $0.0001). The warrants will become exercisable six months from issuance, expire five and a half years from the issuance date, and have an exercise price of $0.97 per share.

 

The net proceeds to the Company from the registered direct offering and concurrent private placement totaled $1.25 million, after deducting placement agent fees and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.

 

To date all of the pre-funded warrants have been exercised, resulting in an issuance by the Company of an aggregate 729,058 common shares for gross proceeds of approx. 73 dollars. 

 

During the quarter ended November 30, 2023, the Company issued an aggregate 601,661 common shares pursuant to the exercise of warrants that were issued under our May 11, 2023, financing, at an exercise price of $0.95 per share for gross proceeds of  $571,578 of which $33,250 was being held in Lexaria’s trust account with the warrant agent at November 30, 2023.

We have performed a review of our cash flow forecast and have concluded that funds on hand, combined with those expected from executed license agreements, will be sufficient to meet the Company's financial obligations for the twelve-month period following the filing of these consolidated financial statements on Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, based on this review, management believes that any substantial doubt in the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern has been alleviated.

In addition, the Company encountered a delay with respect to its anticipated hypertension-relate IND application filing. Lexaria continues with applied research and development programs in our pharmaceutical division with our primary focus being on FDA approval for a DehydraTECH-CBD drug to treat hypertension and optimization of DehydraTECH formulations of GLP-1 drugs.

Consulting Fees and Salaries

 

In the three months ended November 30, 2023, consulting fees and salaries decreased by $95,453, primarily due to the negotiation of reduced fees and the cancellation of contracts with certain consultants, as well as the loss of two permanent full-time employees.

 

Legal and Professional Fees

 

Our legal and professional fees increased by $84,302 during the period compared to the same prior year period.  The current period expenditures are higher due to increased patent filings and the utilization of additional legal advisory services. The increase also reflects increased accounting and legal fees related to financing activities in the quarter.

 

General and Administrative

 

Our other general and administrative expenses decreased overall by $225,612 during the period ended November 30, 2023, over the same period last year.  Advertising and promotion were down by $223,026 in the current period as we scaled back our efforts to bring the results of the Company’s R&D programs to the attention of various industry sectors and to the scientific and investment communities. That decrease was partially offset by the impact of an extensive fact sheet marketing campaign and travel expenses.

Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $1.18 million for the three months ended November 30, 2023, compared with $1.23 million during the same period in 2022. The decrease relates primarily to a lower net loss ($584,268), largely offset by a lower unrealized loss on marketable securities ($24,413) and lower stock-based compensation expense ($14,823), as well as increases in working capital ($485,419).

Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended November 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended November 30, 2022 increased by $5,184 over 2022 due to increased spending on acquisitions of intellectual property, partially offset by decreased equipment additions.

 

Financing Activities

 

Net cash from financing activities during the three months ended November 30, 2023, totaled $1,819,370, compared to net cash flows from financing activities for the three months ended November 30, 2022 of zero. The increase relates to proceeds from the sale of common share/warrant units ($1,247,719) and warrant exercises ($571,578).

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have incurred net losses of approximately $6.7 million and $7.4 million respectively in the past two fiscal years. We expect to continue to incur significant operational expenses and net losses in the upcoming 12 months and beyond. 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 related to the out-licensing of our technology, if any, and the receipt of payments under any current or future collaborations we may enter.

 

As the Company continues with our IND application process and progresses into the clinical development of our initial product candidate, the need for substantial capital resources increases. Our existing cash will not be sufficient to complete the full development, testing and commercialization of an FDA approved product candidate. Accordingly, we will be required to obtain significant further funding to achieve this business objective and/or delay or modify the program in accordance with the financial resources available.

 

On September 28, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with a single healthcare-focused institutional investor to purchase, as at October 3, 2023, 889,272 shares of common stock and 729,058 pre-funded warrants in a registered direct offering. In a concurrent private placement, the Company also sold to the investor, warrants to purchase up to 1,618,330 shares of common stock. The combined effective offering price for each share of common stock (or pre-funded warrant in lieu thereof) and accompanying warrant was $0.97 (to note the pre-funded warrants were issued at a price of $0.9699 and have an exercise price of $0.0001). The warrants will become exercisable six months from issuance, expire five and a half years from the issuance date, and have an exercise price of $0.97 per share.

 

The net proceeds to the Company from the registered direct offering and concurrent private placement totaled $1.25 million, after deducting placement agent fees and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.

 

To date all of the pre-funded warrants have been exercised, resulting in an issuance by the Company of an aggregate 729,058 common shares for gross proceeds of approx. 73 dollars. 

 

During the quarter ended November 30, 2023, the Company issued an aggregate 601,661 common shares pursuant to the exercise of warrants that were issued under our May 11, 2023, financing, at an exercise price of $0.95 per share for gross proceeds of $571,578.

We may also offer securities 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. There is no certainty that future equity or debt financing will be available or that it will be at acceptable terms and the outcome of these matters is unpredictable. A lack of adequate funding may force us to reduce spending, curtail or suspend planned programs or possibly liquidate assets.  Any of these actions could adversely and materially affect our business, cash flow, financial condition, results of operations, and potential prospects. The sale of additional equity may result in additional dilution to our stockholders. Entering into additional licensing agreements, collaborations, partnerships, alliances marketing, distribution, or licensing arrangements with third parties to increase our capital resources is also possible. If we do so we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.

 

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 November 30, 2023, the Company had cash on hand of approximately $2 million to settle $125,000 in current liabilities. We have performed a review of our cash flow forecast and have concluded that funds on hand, combined with those expected from executed license agreements, will be sufficient to meet the Company's financial obligations for the twelve-month period following the filing of these consolidated financial statements on Form 10-Q.

 

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 SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President (Principal Executive Officer),  our Chief Executive Officer (currently acting as the Principal Financial and Accounting Officer) and our outsourced Chief Financial Officer to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As of November 30, 2023, the fiscal quarter covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer and outsourced CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer and outsourced CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of November 30, 2023.

 

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. It is a process which involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. It can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis.  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, these risks. Systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurances 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 November 30, 2023, our controls and controls processes remained consistent with August 31, 2023. There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended November 30, 2023, that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

Nature of Business

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 (“API”) using DehydraTECHTM, our patented proprietary drug delivery technology.

 

Revenues are generated from licensing contracts for the Company’s patented DehydraTECH technology based on the terms of use and defined geographic and licencing arrangements. We derive income from our third party contracted manufacturing of B2B DehydraTECH enhanced products made to customer specifications that are sold online and in-store in the US and Canada. We also perform contract services in R&D for customer specific formulations that are used in comparison testing to customers’ existing products.

 

Liquidity and Going concern

 

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 meet its financial obligations for a period of at least 12 months from the date this report.

 

Since inception, the Company has incurred significant operating and net losses. Net losses attributable to shareholders were $1.2 million and $1.8 million for the quarters ended November 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of November 30, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $46.9 million. 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 corporate expenditures, additional revenues received from the licensing of our technology, if any, and the receipt of payments under any current or future collaborations we may enter into. The recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

During the quarter ended November 30, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement whereby on October 3, 2023, the Company issued, to a single healthcare-focused institutional investor, 889,272 shares of common stock and 729,058 pre-funded warrants in a registered direct offering. In a concurrent private placement, the Company also sold to the investor, warrants to purchase up to 1,618,330 shares of common stock. The combined effective offering price for each share of common stock (or pre-funded warrant in lieu thereof) and accompanying warrant was $0.97 (to note the pre-funded warrants were issued at a price of $0.9699 and have an exercise price of $0.0001). The warrants will become exercisable six months from issuance, expire five and a half years from the issuance date, and have an exercise price of $0.97 per share.

The net proceeds to the Company from the registered direct offering and concurrent private placement totaled $1.25 million, after deducting placement agent fees and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.

 

To date all of the pre-funded warrants have been exercised, resulting in an issuance by the Company of an aggregate 729,058 common shares for gross proceeds of approx. 73 dollars.

 

During the quarter ended November 30, 2023, the Company also issued an aggregate 601,661 common shares pursuant to the exercise of warrants that were issued under our May 11, 2023, financing, at an exercise price of $0.95 per share for gross proceeds of $571,578.

 

We may also offer securities 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. There is no certainty that future equity or debt financing will be available or that it will be at acceptable terms and the outcome of these matters is unpredictable. A lack of adequate funding may force us to reduce spending, curtail or suspend planned programs or possibly liquidate assets. Any of these actions could adversely and materially affect our business, cash flow, financial condition, results of operations, and potential prospects. The sale of additional equity may result in additional dilution to our stockholders. Entering into additional licencing agreements, collaborations, partnerships, alliances marketing, distribution, or licensing arrangements with third parties to increase our capital resources is also possible. If we do so we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.

 

Based on existing cash resources, management believes that current funding will be sufficient to meet the Company’s financial obligations for a period of at least twelve months from the date of this report. In making this assessment, the Company believes that this alleviates the substantial doubt in connection with the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of presentation and consolidation

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. All amounts, unless otherwise stated, are in U.S. dollars.

 

These consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Lexaria Pharmaceutical Corp., Lexaria Hemp Corp., Lexaria CanPharm ULC, Lexaria Nutraceutical Corp., Poviva Corp., Lexaria CanPharm Holding Corp., and Kelowna Management Services Corp. The Company owns 83.3% of Lexaria Nicotine LLC and the remaining 16.7% is owned by Altria Ventures Inc. (an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Altria Group, Inc.). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash-on-hand and demand deposits with financial institutions and other short-term investments with maturities of less than three months when acquired and readily convertible to known cash amounts. The Company had no cash equivalents as of November 30, 2023 or November 30, 2022.

Marketable Securities

 

The Company’s marketable securities consist of investments in common stock. Investments in equity securities are reported at fair value with changes in unrecognized gains or losses included in other income (loss) on the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Leases

 

The Company accounts for its leases under ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). Under this guidance, arrangements meeting the definition of a lease are classified as operating or financing leases, and are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as both a right of use asset and lease liability.

 

We determined the initial classification and measurement of our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement date and thereafter if modified. The lease term includes any renewal options and termination options that we are reasonably certain to exercise. The present value of lease payments is determined by using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate is readily determinable; otherwise, we use our incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is determined by using the rate of interest that we would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis an amount equal to the lease payments for a similar term and in a similar economic environment.

 

Operating lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis, unless the right-of-use asset has been impaired, over the reasonably certain lease term based on the total lease payments. They are included in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

For operating leases that reflect impairment, we will recognize the amortization of the right-of-use asset on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term with rent expense still included in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. For all leases, rent payments that are based on a fixed index or rate at the lease commencement date are included in the measurement of lease assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement date.

 

We have elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components. Our non-lease components are primarily related to property taxes and maintenance, which vary based on future outcomes, and thus differences to original estimates are recognized in rent expense when incurred.

 

Intellectual property

 

Capitalized intellectual property costs include those incurred with respect to both pending and granted patents filed  in the United States. When patent applications are filed, the directly related capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated economic life of 20 years.

 

Equipment

 

Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment and depreciated using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the various asset classes. Laboratory and computer equipment and office furniture are depreciated over 3-10 years. Certain production equipment is depreciated by units of production method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the related leases, or the economic life of the improvements, whichever is shorter.

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

Long-lived assets, including equipment and intangible assets, namely the Company’s patents, are assessed for potential impairment when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Any required impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value and is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset and a charge to the profit or loss. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment annually and in interim periods if certain events occur indicating that the carrying value of the intangible assets may be impaired.

 

Revenue recognition

 

Licensing revenue from intellectual property

 

Our revenues from licenses that grant the right to access our intellectual property, which we consider symbolic licenses of IP, are recognized over time following the transfer and use of our patented infusion technology DehydraTECH. Royalty revenues are recognized in the period in which our licensees sell the related products and recognize the related revenue.

 

Usage fees from intellectual property

 

We recognize usage fees from B2B clients in the period in which the counterparty completes the manufacturing which incorporates DehydraTECH enabled APIs into the related product. We generally recognize revenue when we have satisfied all contractual obligations and are reasonably assured of collecting the resulting receivable. Non-refundable minimum fees are recognized as revenue over the period to which they apply.

 

 Product revenue

 

We generally recognize revenue when we have satisfied all contractual obligations and are reasonably assured of collecting the resulting receivable. We are often entitled to bill our customers and receive payment from our customers in advance of recognizing the revenue.

 

Cost of sales

 

Cost of sales includes all expenditures incurred in bringing the goods to the point of sale This includes third-party manufacturing and handling costs, direct costs of the raw material, inbound freight charges, warehousing costs, and applicable overhead expenses.

 

Research and development

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. These expenditures are comprised of both in-house research programs and through third-party contracts including consultants, academic and non-profit institutions, contract manufacturing, and other expenses.

Intellectual property expenses

 

Non-capitalizable costs associated with intellectual property-related matters are expensed as incurred and included in general and administrative expenses within the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Stock-based compensation

 

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation awards whereby all stock-based grants are recognized as expenses in the consolidated statements of operations based on the fair value at grant date subject to vesting dates and amortized over the related vesting period. The grant date fair value of each option award is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the common stock consistent with the expected life of the option, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yields of the common stock.

 

Foreign currency translation

 

The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The Company has foreign operations whose functional currency is the local currency. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars, the reporting currency, at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Foreign currency translation adjustments resulting from this process are reported as an element of other comprehensive income (loss) on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Transactions executed in different currencies are translated at spot rates and resulting foreign exchange transaction gains and losses are charged to income.

 

Loss per share

 

The calculation of loss per share uses the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net income per share includes the effect, if any, from the potential exercise or conversion of securities, such as restricted stock and stock options, which would result in the issuance of incremental shares of common stock. Diluted loss per share is equivalent to basic loss per share if the potential exercise of the equity-based financial instruments is anti-dilutive.

 

Income taxes

 

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

Financial instruments

 

When measuring fair value, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. This establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Inputs are prioritized into three levels used to measure fair value:

 

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

 

 

 

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

 

 

 

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable and payable, accrued liabilities and loan payable. The carrying amounts of instruments approximate their fair values due to their short maturities or quoted market prices.

 

The Company’s headquarters and operations are located in Canada which results in exposure to market risks from fluctuations in foreign currency rates. The foreign currency exchange risk is the financial risk to the Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk as the impact of rate changes for USD/CAD dollars is not expected to be material.

Credit risk and customer concentration

 

The Company places its cash with a high credit quality financial institution. Periodically, the Company may carry cash balances at such financial institution in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes, based upon the quality of the financial institution, that the credit risk with regard to these deposits is not significant. 

 

In the three months ended November 30, 2023, two customers accounted for 96% (2022 – two customers accounted for 95%) of consolidated revenues.

 

As of November 30, 2023, the Company had $90,925 (2022 - $48,598) in sales tax receivable. The Company considers its credit risk to be low for such receivables.

 

Commitments and contingencies

 

The Company policy is to record accruals for any such loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. In the event that estimates or assumptions prove to differ from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information. The Company, from time to time, may be subject to legal claims and proceedings related to matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Management has no knowledge of any such claim against the Company with, at minimum, a reasonable possibility that a material loss may be incurred.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the prior period have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.

Estimates and Judgments

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the fiscal 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.

 

Management reviews our estimates, judgments, and assumptions periodically and reflects the effects of any revisions in the period in which they are deemed to be necessary. We believe that these estimates are reasonable. However, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Recently Adopted Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This Accounting Standards Update represents a significant change in the accounting for credit losses model by requiring immediate recognition of management’s estimates of current expected credit losses (CECL). Under the prior model, losses were recognized only as they were incurred. The Company has determined that it has met the criteria of a smaller reporting company ("SRC") as of  November 15, 2019. As such, ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Derivatives and Hedging, and Leases: Effective Dates amended the effective date for the Company to be for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective September 1, 2023 and determined that its impact on the accompanying consolidated financial statements is immaterial.

11. Common Shares and Warrants

 

During the quarter ended November 30, 2023, the Company completed the following issuances of common shares and warrants:

 

1.

On October 3, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with a single healthcare-focused institutional investor to purchase 889,272 shares of common stock and 729,058 pre-funded warrants in a registered direct offering. In a concurrent private placement, the Company also sold to the investor, warrants to purchase up to 1,618,330 shares of common stock. The combined effective offering price for each share of common stock (or pre-funded warrant in lieu thereof) and accompanying warrant was $0.97 (to note the pre-funded warrants were issued at a price of $0.9699 and have an exercise price of $0.0001). The warrants will become exercisable six months from issuance, expire five and a half years from the issuance date, and have an exercise price of $0.97 per share.

 

 

 

The net proceeds to the Company from the registered direct offering and concurrent private placement were $1.25 million, after deducting placement agent fees and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.

 

 

 

 To date all of the pre-funded warrants have been exercised, resulting in an issuance by the Company of an aggregate 729,058 common shares for gross proceeds of approx. 73 dollars.

 

 

2.

The Company issued an aggregate 601,661 common shares pursuant to the exercise of warrants that were issued under our May 11, 2023, financing, at an exercise price of $0.95 per share for gross proceeds of $571,578 of which $33,250 was being held in Lexaria’s trust account with the warrant agent at November 30, 2023.

Stock Options

 

The Company has established an Equity Incentive Plan which was most recently amended by the Company’s shareholders on May 9, 2023. Pursuant to the amendments, the Equity Incentive Plan now has an evergreen formula, whereby on January 1 each year commencing January 1, 2024, the number of shares issuable pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan may be increased to a number equal to up to 10% of the issued share capital on December 31 of the previous year. The Company is currently in the process of preparing its S-8 Registration Statement to register an additional 527,111 common shares issuable pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan, for an aggregate 1,037,544 common shares issuable under the Equity Incentive Plan. Stock options currently 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 vesting terms of each grant are also set by the 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.

13. Segment Information

 

The Company’s operations involve the development and usage, including licensing, of DehydraTECH. Lexaria is centrally managed and its chief operating decision makers, being the President and the CEO, use the consolidated and other financial information, supplemented by revenue information by category of business-to-business product production and technology licensing to make operational decisions and to assess the performance of the Company. The Company has identified four reportable segments: Intellectual Property, B2B Production, Research and Development and Corporate. Licensing revenues are significantly concentrated on three licensees.

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)
3 Months Ended
Nov. 30, 2023
Significant Accounting Policies  
Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets, including equipment and intangible assets, namely the Company’s patents, are assessed for potential impairment when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Any required impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value and is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset and a charge to the profit or loss. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment annually and in interim periods if certain events occur indicating that the carrying value of the intangible assets may be impaired.

Revenue recognition

Licensing revenue from intellectual property

 

Our revenues from licenses that grant the right to access our intellectual property, which we consider symbolic licenses of IP, are recognized over time following the transfer and use of our patented infusion technology DehydraTECH. Royalty revenues are recognized in the period in which our licensees sell the related products and recognize the related revenue.

 

Usage fees from intellectual property

 

We recognize usage fees from B2B clients in the period in which the counterparty completes the manufacturing which incorporates DehydraTECH enabled APIs into the related product. We generally recognize revenue when we have satisfied all contractual obligations and are reasonably assured of collecting the resulting receivable. Non-refundable minimum fees are recognized as revenue over the period to which they apply.

 

 Product revenue

 

We generally recognize revenue when we have satisfied all contractual obligations and are reasonably assured of collecting the resulting receivable. We are often entitled to bill our customers and receive payment from our customers in advance of recognizing the revenue.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales includes all expenditures incurred in bringing the goods to the point of sale This includes third-party manufacturing and handling costs, direct costs of the raw material, inbound freight charges, warehousing costs, and applicable overhead expenses.

Research and development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. These expenditures are comprised of both in-house research programs and through third-party contracts including consultants, academic and non-profit institutions, contract manufacturing, and other expenses.

Intellectual property expenses

Non-capitalizable costs associated with intellectual property-related matters are expensed as incurred and included in general and administrative expenses within the consolidated statements of operations.

Stock-based compensation

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation awards whereby all stock-based grants are recognized as expenses in the consolidated statements of operations based on the fair value at grant date subject to vesting dates and amortized over the related vesting period. The grant date fair value of each option award is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the common stock consistent with the expected life of the option, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yields of the common stock.

Foreign currency translation

The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The Company has foreign operations whose functional currency is the local currency. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars, the reporting currency, at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Foreign currency translation adjustments resulting from this process are reported as an element of other comprehensive income (loss) on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Transactions executed in different currencies are translated at spot rates and resulting foreign exchange transaction gains and losses are charged to income.

Loss per share

The calculation of loss per share uses the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net income per share includes the effect, if any, from the potential exercise or conversion of securities, such as restricted stock and stock options, which would result in the issuance of incremental shares of common stock. Diluted loss per share is equivalent to basic loss per share if the potential exercise of the equity-based financial instruments is anti-dilutive.

Income taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

Financial instruments

When measuring fair value, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. This establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Inputs are prioritized into three levels used to measure fair value:

 

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

 

 

 

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

 

 

 

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable and payable, accrued liabilities and loan payable. The carrying amounts of instruments approximate their fair values due to their short maturities or quoted market prices.

 

The Company’s headquarters and operations are located in Canada which results in exposure to market risks from fluctuations in foreign currency rates. The foreign currency exchange risk is the financial risk to the Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk as the impact of rate changes for USD/CAD dollars is not expected to be material.

Credit risk and customer concentration

The Company places its cash with a high credit quality financial institution. Periodically, the Company may carry cash balances at such financial institution in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes, based upon the quality of the financial institution, that the credit risk with regard to these deposits is not significant. 

 

In the three months ended November 30, 2023, two customers accounted for 96% (2022 – two customers accounted for 95%) of consolidated revenues.

 

As of November 30, 2023, the Company had $90,925 (2022 - $48,598) in sales tax receivable. The Company considers its credit risk to be low for such receivables.

Commitments and contingencies

The Company policy is to record accruals for any such loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. In the event that estimates or assumptions prove to differ from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information. The Company, from time to time, may be subject to legal claims and proceedings related to matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Management has no knowledge of any such claim against the Company with, at minimum, a reasonable possibility that a material loss may be incurred.

Prior Period Reclassification

Certain amounts in the prior period have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.

Basis of presentation and consolidation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. All amounts, unless otherwise stated, are in U.S. dollars.

 

These consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Lexaria Pharmaceutical Corp., Lexaria Hemp Corp., Lexaria CanPharm ULC, Lexaria Nutraceutical Corp., Poviva Corp., Lexaria CanPharm Holding Corp., and Kelowna Management Services Corp. The Company owns 83.3% of Lexaria Nicotine LLC and the remaining 16.7% is owned by Altria Ventures Inc. (an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Altria Group, Inc.). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash-on-hand and demand deposits with financial institutions and other short-term investments with maturities of less than three months when acquired and readily convertible to known cash amounts. The Company had no cash equivalents as of November 30, 2023 or November 30, 2022.

Marketable Securities

The Company’s marketable securities consist of investments in common stock. Investments in equity securities are reported at fair value with changes in unrecognized gains or losses included in other income (loss) on the consolidated statements of operations.

Leases

The Company accounts for its leases under ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). Under this guidance, arrangements meeting the definition of a lease are classified as operating or financing leases, and are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as both a right of use asset and lease liability.

 

We determined the initial classification and measurement of our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement date and thereafter if modified. The lease term includes any renewal options and termination options that we are reasonably certain to exercise. The present value of lease payments is determined by using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate is readily determinable; otherwise, we use our incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is determined by using the rate of interest that we would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis an amount equal to the lease payments for a similar term and in a similar economic environment.

 

Operating lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis, unless the right-of-use asset has been impaired, over the reasonably certain lease term based on the total lease payments. They are included in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

For operating leases that reflect impairment, we will recognize the amortization of the right-of-use asset on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term with rent expense still included in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. For all leases, rent payments that are based on a fixed index or rate at the lease commencement date are included in the measurement of lease assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement date.

 

We have elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components. Our non-lease components are primarily related to property taxes and maintenance, which vary based on future outcomes, and thus differences to original estimates are recognized in rent expense when incurred.

Intellectual property

Capitalized intellectual property costs include those incurred with respect to both pending and granted patents filed  in the United States. When patent applications are filed, the directly related capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated economic life of 20 years.

Equipment

Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment and depreciated using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the various asset classes. Laboratory and computer equipment and office furniture are depreciated over 3-10 years. Certain production equipment is depreciated by units of production method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the related leases, or the economic life of the improvements, whichever is shorter.

Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the fiscal 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.

 

Management reviews our estimates, judgments, and assumptions periodically and reflects the effects of any revisions in the period in which they are deemed to be necessary. We believe that these estimates are reasonable. However, actual results could differ from these estimates.
