Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

(U.S. Dollars)

(Unaudited – See Notice to Reader dated February 25, 2022)

NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Portage Biotech Inc. (the "Company" or “Portage”) is incorporated in the British Virgin Islands ("BVI") with its registered office located at Clarence Thomas Building, P.O. Box 4649, Road Town, Tortola, BVI. Its USA agent, Portage Development Services ("PDS"), is located at 61 Wilton Road, Westport, CT, 06880, USA.

The Company is a foreign private issuer under SEC rules. It is also a reporting issuer under the securities legislation of the provinces of Ontario and British Columbia. Its ordinary shares were listed on the Canadian Stock Exchange (“CSE”) under the symbol “PBT.U”. On February 25, 2021, the ordinary shares of the Company began trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol “PRTG”. As the principal market for the Company’s ordinary shares is NASDAQ, the Company voluntarily delisted from the CSE on April 23, 2021.

Portage is a clinical stage immune-oncology company focused on overcoming immune resistance and currently managing 10 immuno-oncology assets at various development stages. We source, nurture and develop the creation of early- to mid-stage, first- and best-in-class therapies for a variety of cancers, by funding, implementing viable, cost effective product development strategies, clinical counsel/trial design, shared services, financial and project management to enable efficient, turnkey execution of commercially informed development plans. Our drug development pipeline portfolio encompasses products or technologies based on biology addressing known resistance pathways/mechanisms of current check point inhibitors with established scientific rationales, including intratumoral delivery, nanoparticles, liposomes, aptamers, and virus-like particles.

On August 13, 2018, the Company reached a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of SalvaRx Limited (“SalvaRx”) in exchange for 8,050,701 ordinary shares of the Company (the "SalvaRx Acquisition"). The SalvaRx Acquisition was completed on January 8, 2019 (the “Acquisition Date”) upon receiving shareholder and regulatory approval. In connection with the SalvaRx Acquisition, the Company acquired interests in SalvaRx’s five research and development invested entities and subsidiaries: iOx Therapeutics Ltd. (“iOx”), Nekonal Oncology Limited (“Nekonal”), Intensity Therapeutics, Inc. (“Intensity”), Saugatuck Therapeutics Ltd. (“Saugatuck”) and Rift Biotherapeutics Inc. (“Rift”). The Company also acquired an option in Nekonal SARL, a Luxembourg-based company holding intellectual property rights for therapeutics and diagnostics in the field of autoimmune disorders and oncology, to participate in the funding of its autoimmune programs. During fiscal 2021, the Company abandoned its interests in Nekonal.

On June 5, 2020, the Company effected a 100:1 reverse stock split. All share and per share information included in the consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the impact of the reverse stock split. The shares of ordinary shares authorized remained at an unlimited number of ordinary shares without par value.

Portage filed a shelf registration statement and prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under which it may sell shares, debt securities, warrants and units that Portage may sell in one or more offerings from time to time, which became effective on March 8, 2021 (“Registration Statement” or “Prospectus”). The specific terms of any securities to be offered pursuant to the base prospectus are specified in the sales agreement prospectus. The Registration Statement currently includes:

a base prospectus, which covers the offering, issuance and sales by us of up to $200,000,000 in the aggregate of the securities identified above from time to time in one or more offerings;

a sales agreement supplemental prospectus covering the offer, issuance and sale by us in an “at the market” offering of up to a maximum aggregate offering price of up to $50,000,000 of our ordinary shares that may be issued and sold from time to time under sales agreement, or sales agreement, with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., or Cantor Fitzgerald, the sales agent; and

a prospectus supplement dated June 24, 2021, for the offer, issuance and sale by us of 1,150,000 ordinary shares for gross proceeds of approximately $26.5 million in a firm commitment underwriting with Cantor Fitzgerald.

NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS (Cont’d)

The sales agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald permits the Company to sell in an at the market offering up to $50,000,000 of ordinary shares from time to time, the amount of which is included in the $200,000,000 of securities that may be offered, issued and sold by us under the base prospectus. The sales under the prospectus will be deemed to be made pursuant to an “at the market” offering as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act). Upon termination of the sales agreement, any portion of the $50,000,000 included in the sales agreement prospectus that is not sold pursuant to the sales agreement will be available for sale in other offerings pursuant to the base prospectus, and if no shares are sold under the sales agreement, the full $50,000,000 of securities may be sold in other offerings pursuant to the base prospectus. See Note 2, “Liquidity” and Note 14, “Capital Stock” for a further discussion.

NOTE 2. LIQUIDITY

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $25.6 million and total current liabilities of $0.6 million (inclusive of $0.2 million warrant liability settleable on a non-cash basis). For the nine months ended December 31, 2021, the Company is reporting a net loss of $(4.2) million and cash used in operating activities of $4.5 million. As of January 31, 2022, the company we had approximately $25.1 million of cash on hand.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the Company commenced an “at the market” offering, under which it sold 90,888 shares generating gross proceeds of approximately $2.6 million ($2.5 million, net of commissions).

On June 24, 2021, the Company completed a firm commitment underwritten public offering of 1,150,000 ordinary shares at a public offering price of $23.00 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $26.5 million and was settled June 28, 2021. The Company incurred aggregate offering expenses for the public offering of approximately $1.8 million, including approximately $1.6 million of management, underwriting and selling expenses. Management believes the funds generated, along with existing cash, will be sufficient to fund the Company’s research and development activities, as well as the expansion of its operating infrastructure and achievement of numerous developmental milestones. The amount raised is at least sufficient to fund operations through March 2023.

The Company has incurred substantial operating losses since inception and expects to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable. The losses result primarily from its conduct of research and development activities.

The Company historically has funded its operations principally from proceeds from issuances of equity and debt securities and would expect to enter the capital markets if additional funding is required.

COVID-19 Effect

Beginning in early March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures imposed to contain this pandemic have disrupted and are expected to continue to impact the Company's business operations. The magnitude of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's productivity, results of operations and financial position, and its disruption to the Company's business and clinical programs and timelines, will depend, in part, on the length and severity of these restrictions and on the Company's ability to conduct business in the ordinary course.

Use of Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Significant areas where estimates are made include valuation of financial instruments, research and development costs, fair value used for acquisition and measurement of share-based compensation. Significant areas where critical judgments are applied include assessment of impairment of investments and goodwill and the determination of the accounting acquirer and acquiree in the business combination accounting.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

The accounting policies are set out in Note 4 to the fiscal 2021 audited consolidated financial statements. These policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Impact of Adoption of Significant New IFRS Standards in 2020

(a)

IAS 1: Presentation of Financial Statements, and IAS 8: Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors (Amendment)

The amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 clarify the definition of material and seek to align the definition used in the Conceptual Framework with that in the standards themselves, as well as ensuring the definition of material is consistent across all IFRS. The Company adopted these amendments effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of these amendments did not have a significant impact on the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements.

(b)

Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting

Together with the revised Conceptual Framework published in March 2018, the IASB also issued Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards. The Company adopted the Revised Conceptual Framework effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of these amendments did not have a significant impact on the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements.

IFRS Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Effective

New Accounting Standards, Interpretations and Amendments

Standards issued but not yet effective up to the date of issuance of the Company's condensed consolidated interim financial statements are listed below. This listing is of standards and interpretations issued, which the Company reasonably expects to be applicable at a future date. The Company intends to adopt those standards when they become effective.

(c)

Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-2020

The annual improvements process addresses issues in the 2018-2020 reporting cycles including changes to IFRS 9, “Financial Instruments,” IFRS 1, “First Time Adoption of IFRS,” IFRS 16, “Leases,” and IAS 41, “Biological Assets”.

i) The amendment to IFRS 9 addresses which fees should be included in the 10% test for derecognition of financial liabilities.

ii) The amendment to IFRS 1 allows a subsidiary adopting IFRS at a later date than its parent to also measure cumulative translation differences using the amounts reported by the parent based on the parent’s date of transition to IFRS.

iii) The amendment to IFRS 16’s illustrative example 13 removes the illustration of payments from the lessor related to leasehold improvements.

These amendments will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance and impacts on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont'd)

(d)

IAS 37: Onerous Contracts - Cost of Fulfilling a Contract

The amendment to IAS 37 clarifies the meaning of costs to fulfil a contract and that before a separate provision for an onerous contract is established, an entity recognizes any impairment loss that has occurred on assets used in fulfilling the contract, rather than on assets dedicated to the contract. This amendment will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance and impacts on its consolidated financial statements.

(e)

IAS 16: Proceeds Before Intended Use

The amendment to IAS 16 prohibits an entity from deducting from the cost of an item of Property, plant and equipment any proceeds received from selling items produced while the entity is preparing the assets for its intended use (for example, the proceeds from selling samples produced when testing a machine to see if it is functioning properly). It also clarifies that an entity is testing whether the asset is functioning properly when it assesses the technical and physical performance of the asset. The amendment also requires certain related disclosures. This amendment will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance and impacts on its consolidated financial statements.

(f)

IAS 1: Presentation of Financial Statements

The amendment to IAS 1 clarifies how to classify debt and other liabilities as either current or non-current. The amendment will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance and impacts on its consolidated financial statements.

(g)

Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28: Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and Its Associate or Joint Venture

The amendment addresses the conflict between IFRS 10, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” and IAS 28, “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures,” in dealing with the loss of control of a subsidiary that is sold or contributed to an associate or joint venture. The amendments clarify that the gain or loss resulting from the sale or contribution of assets that constitute a business, as defined in IFRS 3, “Business Combinations,” between an investor and its associate or joint venture, is recognized in full. Any gain or loss resulting from the sale or contribution of assets that do not constitute a business, however, is recognized only to the extent of unrelated investors' interests in the associate or joint venture. The IASB has deferred the effective date of these amendments indefinitely, but an entity that early adopts the amendments must apply them prospectively. The Company is evaluating whether the adoption of the above amendment will have a material impact on its financial statements.

Simultaneously, the Company and the Purchaser’s Executives entered into a Revenue Share Deed with PPL under which they will be entitled to certain revenue shares based on the achievement of milestones defined in the Revenue Share Deed. The Company may also be entitled to recover an intercompany receivable from the purchaser in the amount of $229,848 on the fourth anniversary of the Revenue Share Deed. The Company valued its interest in the Revenue Share Deed and the recovery of the $229,848 at zero for financials statement purposes. All other intercompany balances were cancelled. The Company no longer has any interest or obligations associated with PPL, PGL and EyGen, other than the interests provided for in the Revenue Share Deed.

NOTE 8. INVESTMENTS IN PRIVATE COMPANIES

The following is a discussion of our investments in private companies as of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021.

Intensity

In connection with the SalvaRx Acquisition in fiscal 2019, the Company acquired a $4.5 million interest in Intensity, a clinical stage biotechnology company, of 1.0 million shares, which represented a 7.5% equity interest in Intensity. The investment was recorded at fair value (which approximates cost) at the acquisition date. The investment in Intensity has been irrevocably designated as a financial asset recorded at fair value with gains and losses recorded through other comprehensive income. The fair value of the asset is determined by considering other comparable equity funding transactions by Intensity with unrelated investors.

On July 11, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with Fast Forward Innovations Limited ("Fast Forward") to purchase Intensity Holdings Limited ("IHL"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fast Forward. The Company paid $1.3 million for IHL through the issuance of 129,806 ordinary shares. The sole asset of IHL consists of 288,458 shares of the private company, Intensity. This transaction increased the Company's ownership to 1,288,458 shares of Intensity.

During the year ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded an unrealized gain of $1.6 million with respect to its investment in Intensity based upon Intensity’s then most recent valuation. There were no unrealized gains or losses recognized during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

As of each of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, the Company owned approximately 8% of the outstanding shares of Intensity, on a fully diluted basis.

NOTE 8. INVESTMENTS IN PRIVATE COMPANIES (Cont’d)

On October 28, 2021, Intensity Therapeutics, Inc. filed a Form S-1 Registration Statement with the SEC to register shares for a public offering. The offering was approved by the SEC, but subsequently withdrawn prior to closing. Intensity is still evaluating market conditions to determine the timing of an offering. At December 31, 2021, the Company has valued its investment in Intensity based on Intensity’s last financing. If the offering is successful, the Company will value its investment in Intensity based upon fair value (market price) and will record periodic changes in carrying value through OCI.

Sentien

In August 2015, the Company acquired 210,210 shares of Series A preferred stock in Sentien (“Preferred Stock”), a Medford, MA based private company for $700,000 of cash. The Preferred Stock is fully convertible into an equal number of common shares. The Company’s holdings represent 5.06% of the equity of Sentien on a fully diluted basis as of each of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021. The investment in Sentien has been irrevocably designated as a financial asset recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded through other comprehensive income. As of March 31, 2020, the Company recorded an unrealized loss of $0.7 million after determining that cost no longer was the best estimate of fair value due to a significant change in the strategy of Sentien and determined that the investment in Sentien no longer had any fair value as Sentien was no longer pursing the proposed indication from the time of the Company's initial investment.

NOTE 9. GOODWILL

Balance, beginning of period	$	43,324	$	43,324
Balance, end of period	$	43,324	$	43,324

The Company’s goodwill arose from the acquisition of SalvaRx and its portfolio of several projects and investments.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company determined that it has only one cash-generating unit (“CGU”), the consolidated Portage Biotech, Inc.

Impairment Review

On an annual basis, pursuant to IAS 36, “Impairment of Assets,” the Company assesses its long-lived assets with definite lives, which are not yet available for use, for potential indicators of impairment.

If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset or CGU and compares it to the carrying value.

The Company performed its annual impairment test in each of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020 and estimated the recoverable amount of the above-noted CGU based on its value in use, which was determined using a capitalized cash flow methodology and categorized within level 3 of the fair market value hierarchy.

The recoverable amount of the CGU has been determined based on its value in use. The recoverable amount considered assumptions based on probabilities of technical, regulatory and clinical acceptances and financial support. Further, management uses risk-adjusted cash flow projections based on financial budgets. Management believes that any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount is based would not cause the carrying amount to exceed its recoverable amount. The discount rate has been determined based on the Company’s best estimate of a risk adjusted discount rate.

NOTE 9. GOODWILL (Cont’d)

The key assumptions used in the calculation of the recoverable amount include forecasts of the following:

(a)

revenues;

(b)

normalized operating expenses;

(c)

income taxes; and

(d)

capital expenditures.

Discounted cash flows are determined with reference to undiscounted risk adjusted cash flows, and the discount rate approximated 20.0% and 20.5% as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, based on the individual characteristics of the Company’s CGU, the risk-free rate of return and other economic and operating factors.

Additionally, at the end of each reporting period, the Company is required to assess whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Pursuant to IAS 36, the Company reviewed its assets for any indicators of impairment and considered underlying fundamentals, execution, de-risking/advancement of assets and the value creation activities during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021.

As of December 31, 2021, management assessed whether any indications of impairment existed for the Company’s CGU. As of December 31,2021, the Company’s market capitalization was less than its net assets, which is an external indicator of potential impairment. The Company evaluated this factor in conjunction with its assessment of the overall market environment and the progress made in developing the Company’s assets. The Company determined that a test for impairment was not required and no impairment was recorded for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021.

NOTE 10. IN-PROCESS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AND DEFERRED TAX LIABILITY

In-process research and development (“IPR&D”) consists of the following projects (in 000’$):

Schedule of In process research and development

		$	117,388	$	117,388

Deferred tax liability		$	23,606	$	24,050

As of December 31, 2021, management assessed whether any indications of impairment existed for the Company’s IPR&D. As indicated above, the Company did identify an external indicator of potential impairment but concluded that no test for impairment was required. Accordingly, no impairment was recorded for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021.

Deferred tax liability (DTL) represents iOx’s estimated tax on the difference between book and tax basis of the IPR&D, which is taxable in the United Kingdom. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded deferred tax (expense) benefit of $(0.1) million and $0.5 million, respectively, to reflect the effect of the change in currency translation rates, for this obligation settleable in Great British Pounds.

The PPL Unsecured Notes were settled as part of the disposition of PPL in March 2021 (see Note 7, “Disposition of PPL”).

SalvaRx Unsecured Notes Payable and Warrants

In connection with the SalvaRx Acquisition in January 2019, the Company assumed $3.96 million of principal in unsecured notes due on March 2, 2021 (or earlier upon a qualifying event), that bear interest at 7% per annum (the "SalvaRx Notes"). The fair value of the SalvaRx Notes was determined to be $3.4 million at January 2019. As the SalvaRx Acquisition was a qualifying event, the SalvaRx Notes became due upon the acquisition. In December 2019, the maturity date of the SalvaRx Notes was extended to June 2021.

The holders of the SalvaRx Notes received $7,500 of warrants in respect of each $10 thousand of principal issued. The warrants vest in the event of a qualifying transaction and are exercisable at a 30% discount to the implied valuation of SalvaRx. On the Acquisition Date, the fair value of the warrants, which are included in non-controlling interest, was determined to be $2.5 million using the Black-Scholes model.

During September 2020, the Company settled the SalvaRx Notes obligations originally due in June 2021 in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $3.7 million, plus accrued interest of $0.75 million in exchange for cash payments totaling $1.77 million and 397,604 of the associated SalvaRx warrants with an exercise price of $6.64 per share. The noteholders who accepted the offer exchanged their SalvaRx warrants for an equal number of Portage shares at the same price per share. The Company accounted for the contractual value of the exercised and outstanding warrants of $2.64 million (397,604 shares at $6.64 per share) as accrued equity issuable at September 30, 2020. The Company also recorded a loss of $1.26 million during the year ended March 31, 2021, to recognize the discount between the fair value of the underlying shares on October 13, 2020, the settlement date, ($9.80 per share) and the warrant exercise (contract) price of $6.64 per share.

NOTE 15. STOCK OPTION RESERVE (Cont’d)

As of March 31, 2019, the Board decided to discontinue the 2013 Option Plan and during the year ended March 31, 2021, 2,980 outstanding options issued under the plan expired unexercised and no options remained outstanding under the 2013 Option Plan.

On June 25, 2020, at the annual meeting of shareholders, the Company’s new incentive stock option plan (the “2020 Stock Option Plan”) was approved, which authorized the directors to fix the option exercise price and to issue stock options under the plan as they see fit. The Company's 2020 Stock Option Plan is a 10% rolling stock option plan under which the directors are authorized to grant up to a maximum of 10% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares on the date of grant.

Effective January 13, 2021, the Company amended and restated its 2020 Stock Option Plan to permit the grant of additional types of equity compensation securities, including restricted stock units and dividend equivalent rights (the "2021 Equity Incentive Plan"). The aggregate number of equity securities, which may be issued under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan has not been changed. Pursuant to the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, on January 13, 2021, the Company granted an aggregate of 868,000 stock options exercisable at a price of US$17.75 per share, representing the closing price of the shares on the day immediately preceding the grant date, which expire on January 13, 2031 to various directors, officers and consultants of the Company. 350,000 options granted to members of the Board of Directors’ vest 1/3 on grant date, 1/3 on the first anniversary of the grant and 1/3 on the second anniversary of the grant. 518,000 options granted to consultants (one of whom is also a director) vest 1/3 on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant.

Additionally, the Company granted 243,000 restricted stock units on January 13, 2021, with a fair value of $17.75 per share, which was the closing price on the day immediately preceding the grant date. The restricted stock units vested on the date of grant, but underlying shares cannot be sold until one of four conditions are met. In accordance with IFRS 2, “Share-based Payment,” the Company recognized compensation expense of $4.3 million in the year ended March 31, 2021, in connection with the RSU grants.

The vested options can be exercised at any time in accordance with the applicable option agreement. The exercise price was greater than the market price on the date of the grants for all options outstanding as of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021.

The Company recorded approximately $2.0 million and $6.2 million of share-based compensation expense with respect to the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, respectively. There were no stock options outstanding in the prior year period under this plan. The Company expects to record additional share-based compensation expense of approximately $4.8 million through January 2024 with respect to the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. Additionally, the intrinsic value of the stock options granted under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan was nil at December 31, 2021.

The Company recorded approximately $0.03 million and $0.2 million of share-based compensation expense related to the iOx stock option plan for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, respectively, and approximately $0.2 million and $0.7 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s iOx stock option plan was fully vested. Additionally, the intrinsic value of the iOx stock options was approximately $0.1 million at December 31, 2021, all of which is associated with vested exercisable options.

NOTE 16. (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

NOTE 16. (LOSS) PER SHARE (Cont’d)

The following table reflects the loss and share data used in the basic and diluted EPS calculations (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):

Schedule of basic and diluted EPS calculations
	Three Months Ended December 31,						Nine Months Ended December 31,
	2021			2020			2021			2020
Numerator (in 000’$)
Net loss attributable to owners of the Company	$	(3,512	)	$	(1,184	)	$	(9,553	)	$	(4,335	)
Denominator (in 000’)
Weighted average number of shares – Basic and Diluted		13,344			12,031			12,966			11,619
Basic and diluted (loss) per share (Actual)	$	(0.26	)	$	(0.10	)	$	(0.74	)	$	(0.37	)

The inclusion of the Company's stock options, restricted stock units and share purchase warrants in the computation of diluted loss per share would have an anti-dilutive effect on loss per share and are therefore excluded from the computation. Consequently, there is no difference between basic loss per share and diluted loss per share for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, and 2020. The following table reflects the outstanding securities by year that would have an anti-dilutive effect on loss per share, and accordingly, were excluded from the calculation.

Schedule of Anti-Dilutive effect on Loss Per Share
	As of December 31,
	2021		2020
Stock options		868,000		–
Restricted stock units		243,000		–
Warrants		33,888		–

Inclusion of outstanding options or other common stock equivalents in the computation of diluted loss per share would have an anti-dilutive effect on the loss per share and are therefore excluded from the computation. Consequently, there is no difference between loss per share and diluted loss per share.

NOTE 19. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company’s financial instruments recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated interim statements of financial position consist of the following:

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about financial instruments. These estimates are subject to and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

The following table summarizes the Company’s financial instruments as of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021:

Schedule of financial instruments
	As of December 31, 2021				As of March 31, 2021
	Amortized Cost		Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI)		Amortized Cost		FVTOCI

Financial assets
Cash and cash equivalents	$	25,603	$	–	$	2,770	$	–
Prepaid expenses and other receivables	$	672	$	–	$	2,176	$	–
Investments	$	–	$	8,781	$	–	$	9,144

	Amortized Cost		Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)		Amortized Cost		FVTPL
Financial liabilities
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	$	477	$	–	$	1,938	$	–
Unsecured notes payable	$	–	$	–	$	150	$	–
Warrant liability	$	–	$	159	$	–	$	1,120

A summary of the Company’s risk exposures as it relates to financial instruments are reflected below.

Fair value of financial instruments

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are comprised of cash, receivables and investments in equities and private entities, accounts payable, warrant liability and unsecured notes payable.

The Company classifies the fair value of these transactions according to the following fair value hierarchy based on the amount of observable inputs used to value the instrument:

· Level 1 – Values are based on unadjusted quoted prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

F-26

Portage Biotech Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

(U.S. Dollars)

(Unaudited – See Notice to Reader dated February 25, 2022)

NOTE 19. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (Cont’d)

· Level 2 – Values are based on inputs, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value and volatility factors, which can be substantially observed or corroborated in the marketplace. Prices in Level 2 are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.

· Level 3 – Values are based on prices or valuation techniques that are not based on observable market data. Investments are classified as Level 3 financial instrument.

Assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the placement within the fair value hierarchy.

Management has assessed that the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, other receivables and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate their fair values:

Investment in Sentien: Fair value of the asset is determined by considering strategy changes by Sentien (Level 3).

Investment in Intensity: Fair value of the asset is determined by considering other comparable equity funding transactions by Intensity with unrelated investors (Level 3).

Accrued equity issuable: The fair value is estimated based on the average of the quoted market prices for the period in which the shares were earned (Level 1).

Unsecured notes payable: The fair value is estimated using a Black-Scholes model (Level 3) (see Note 11, “Unsecured Notes Payable”).

Warrant Liability: The fair value is estimated using a Black-Scholes model (Level 3) (see Note 13, “Warrant Liability”).

There have been no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and the year ended March 31, 2021.

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks: credit risk and liquidity risk.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfil its payment obligations. The credit risk is attributable to various financial instruments, as noted below. The credit risk is limited to the carrying value as reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated interim statements of financial position.

Cash. Cash is held with major international financial institutions and therefore the risk of loss is minimal.

Other receivables. The Company was exposed to credit risk attributable to its debtor since a significant portion of this amount represents the amount agreed on a settlement of a claim by PPL (see Note 5, “Prepaid Expenses and Other Receivables”), originally payable over the next four years. The installment note was repaid in full in July 2021.

NOTE 19. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (Cont’d)

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in satisfying financial obligations as they become due.

The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions without incurring unacceptable losses or risking harm to the Company’s reputation. The Company holds sufficient cash to satisfy obligations under accounts payable and accruals.

The Company monitors its liquidity position regularly to assess whether it has the funds necessary to meet its operating needs and needs for investing in new projects. The Company believes that it has sufficient funding to finance the committed drug development work, apart from meeting its operational needs for the foreseeable future.

However, as a biotech company at an early stage of development and without significant internally generated cash flows, there are inherent liquidity risks, including the possibility that additional financing may not be available to the Company, or that actual drug development expenditures may exceed those planned. The current uncertainty in global markets could have an impact on the Company’s future ability to access capital on terms that are acceptable to the Company. There can be no assurance that required financing will be available to the Company. See Note 2, “Liquidity” and Note 14, “Capital Stock” for a discussion of the Company’s share offering.

NOTE 20. CAPITAL DISCLOSURES

The Company considers the items included in shareholders’ equity as capital. The Company had accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $0.5 million as of December 31, 2021 (approximately $1.9 million as of March 31, 2021) and current assets of approximately $26.3 million as of December 31, 2021 (approximately $4.9 million as of March 31, 2021). The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue new business opportunities and to maintain a flexible capital structure, which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk.

The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets.

As of December 31, 2021, shareholders’ equity attributable to the owners of the company was approximately $125.8 million (approximately $101.4 million as of March 31, 2021).

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements and does not presently utilize any quantitative measures to monitor its capital. There have been no changes to the Company’s approach to capital management during the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
