IntelGenx Technologies Corp. Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements |
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2023. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. IntelGenx Technologies Corp. (and collectively with IntelGenx Corp., our wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, "IntelGenx" or the "Company") prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("USA"). This basis of accounting involves the application of accrual accounting and consequently, revenues and gains are recognized when earned, and expenses and losses are recognized when incurred.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IntelGenx Technologies Corp. and IntelGenx Corp. On consolidation, all inter-entity transactions and balances have been eliminated.
The financial statements are expressed in U.S. funds.
Management has performed an evaluation of the Company's activities through the date and time these financial statements were issued and concluded that there are no additional significant events requiring recognition or disclosure.
2. Going Concern
The Company has financed its operations to date primarily through public offerings of its common stock, proceeds from issuance of convertible notes and debentures, bank loans, royalty, up-front and milestone payments, license fees, proceeds from exercise of warrants and options, and research and development revenues. The Company has devoted substantially all of its resources to its drug development efforts, conducting clinical trials to further advance the product pipeline, the expansion of its facilities, protecting its intellectual property and general and administrative functions relating to these operations. The future success of the Company is dependent on its ability to develop its product pipeline and ultimately upon its ability to attain profitable operations. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $772,000 in cash. The Company does not have sufficient existing cash to support operations for the next year following the issuance of these financial statements. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, management plans to explore any available strategic alternatives.
Depending on the strategic alternatives available and if the Company is unable to raise further capital when needed or on attractive terms, or if it is unable to procure partnership arrangements to advance its programs, the Company would be forced to potentially delay, reduce or eliminate some of its research and development programs and commercial activities.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments or classifications that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be unable to realize the carrying value of its assets and to meet its liabilities as they become due.

3. Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
The Company may enter into licensing and collaboration agreements for product development, licensing, supply and manufacturing for its product pipeline. The terms of the agreements may include non-refundable signing and licensing fees, milestone payments and royalties on any product sales derived from collaborations. These contracts are analyzed to identify all performance obligations forming part of these contracts. The transaction price of the contract is then determined. The transaction price is allocated between all performance obligations on a residual standalone selling price basis. The stand-alone selling price is estimated based on the comparable market prices, expected cost plus margin and the Company's historical experience.
Revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer.
Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue.
The following is a description of principal activities - separated by nature - from which the Company generates its revenue.
Product revenue
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its products when the following conditions are met; delivery has occurred; the price is fixed or determinable; the collectability is reasonable assured and persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists.
Research and Development Revenue
Revenues with corporate collaborators are recognized as the performance obligations are satisfied over time, and the related expenditures are incurred pursuant to the terms of the agreement.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont'd)
Licensing and Collaboration Arrangements
Licenses are considered to be right-to-use licenses. As such, the Company recognizes the licenses revenues at a point in time, upon granting the licenses.
Milestone payments are considered variable consideration. As such, the Company estimates variable consideration at the most likely amount to which we expect to be entitled. The estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, the Company re-evaluates the probability of achievement of such development milestones and any related constraint, and if necessary, adjusts its estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, which would affect license, research and other revenues in the period during which the adjustment is recognized. The process of successfully achieving the criteria for the milestone payments is highly uncertain. Consequently, there is significant risk that the Company may not earn all of the milestone payments for each of its contracts.
Royalties are typically calculated as a percentage of net sales realized by the Company's licensees of its products (including their sub-licensees), as specifically defined in each agreement. The licensees' sales generally consist of revenues from product sales of the Company's product pipeline and net sales are determined by deducting the
following: estimates for chargebacks, rebates, sales incentives and allowances, returns and losses and other customary deductions in each region where the Company has licensees. Revenues arising from royalties are considered variable consideration. As such, the Company estimates variable consideration at the most likely amount to which we expect to be entitled. The estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.
Leasehold Improvements and Equipment
Leasehold improvements and equipment are recorded at cost. Provisions for depreciation are based on their estimated useful lives using the methods as follows:
On the declining balance method - | |
Laboratory and office equipment | 20% |
Computer equipment | 30% |
On the straight-line method - | |
Leasehold improvements | over the lease term |
Manufacturing equipment | 5 - 10 years |
Upon retirement or disposal, the cost of the asset disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in income. Expenditures for repair and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont'd)
Leases
Leases are classified as either finance leases or operating leases. A lease is classified as a finance lease if any one of the following criteria are met: the lease transfers ownership of the asset by the end of the lease term, the lease contains an option to purchase the asset that is reasonably certain to be exercised, the lease term is for a major part of the remaining useful life of the asset or the present value of the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the asset. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not meet any one of these criteria.
Substantially all of the Company's operating leases are comprised of office space and property leases. The finance leases are comprised of laboratory equipment leases.
For all leases at the lease commencement date, a right-of-use asset and a lease liability are recognized. The right-of-use asset represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term. The lease liability represents the present value of the lease payments under the lease.
The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which primarily comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any initial costs incurred, consisting mainly of brokerage commissions, less any lease incentives received. All right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment. The lease liability is initially measured as the present value of the lease payments, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's secured incremental borrowing rate for the same term as the underlying lease.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following: the fixed noncancelable lease payments, payments for optional renewal periods where it is reasonably certain the renewal period will be exercised, and payments for early termination options unless it is reasonably certain the lease will not be terminated early.
Lease modifications result in remeasurement of the lease liability.
Lease expense for operating leases consists of the lease payments plus any initial direct costs, primarily brokerage commissions, and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Included in lease expense are any variable lease payments incurred in the period that were not included in the initial lease liability.
The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-tern leases that have a term of 12 months or less. The effect of short-term leases on our right-of-use asset and lease liability was not material.
4. Inventory
Inventory as at March 31, 2024 consisted of raw materials in the amount of $173,000 (2023 - $71,000).

IntelGenx Technologies Corp. Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements |
7. Convertible Notes (Cont'd)
Management has determined the value of the agents' warrants to be $44,000.
The convertible notes have been recorded as a liability. Total transactions costs in the amount of $268,000 were recorded against the liability. The accretion expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 amounts to $18,000 (2023: $16,000). The warrants have been recorded as equity.
The components of the convertible notes are as follows:
March 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |||||
Attributed value of net proceeds to convertible notes | $ | 1,397,000 | $ | 1,397,000 | ||
Accretion | 211,000 | 193,000 | ||||
Convertible note | $ | 1,608,000 | $ | 1,590,000 |
The interest on the convertible notes for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 amounts to $33,000 (2023: $33,000). The interest is recorded in financing and interest expense.
On May 8, 2018, the Company closed its previously announced offering by way of private placement (the "Offering"). In connection with the Offering, the Company issued 320 units (the "Units") at a subscription price of $10,000 per Unit for gross proceeds of $3,200,000. A related party of the Company participated in the Offering and subscribed for an aggregate of two Units.
Each Unit is comprised of (i) 7,940 common shares of the Corporation ("Common Shares"), (ii) a $5,000 convertible 6% note (a "Note"), and (iii) 7,690 warrants to purchase common shares of the Corporation ("Warrants"). Each Note bears interest at a rate of 6% (payable quarterly, in arrears, with the first payment being due on September 1, 2018), matured on June 1, 2021 and is convertible into Common Shares at a conversion price of $0.80 per Common Share. Each Warrant entitles its holder to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.80 per Common Share until June 1, 2021.
In connection with the Offering, the Company paid to the Agents a cash commission of approximately $157,800 in the aggregate and issued non-transferable agents' warrants to the Agents, entitling the Agents to purchase 243,275 common shares at a price of $0.80 per share until June 1, 2021. Management has determined the value of the agents' warrants to be $50,000.
The proceeds of the Units are attributed to liability and equity components based on the fair value of each component as follows:
Gross proceeds | Transaction costs | Net proceeds | |||||||
Common stock | $ | 1,627,000 | $ | 167,000 | $ | 1,460,000 | |||

7. Convertible Notes (Cont'd)
On May 19, 2021, the noteholders approved the amendment of the terms of the convertible notes. The maturity date of the convertible notes was extended from June 1, 2021 to October 31, 2024, the interest rate of the notes increased from 6% to 8%, and the conversion price was reduced from $0.80 to $0.44. These amendments were accounted for as an extinguishment and the notes were re-measured at fair value on June 1, 2021. This re-measurement resulted in a gain on extinguishment in the amount of $151,000 recognized in finance and interest income.
The components of the convertible notes subsequent to the amendments are as follows:
March 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |||||
Face value of the convertible notes | $ | 909,000 | $ | 909,000 | ||

Accretion | 97,000 | 87,000 | ||||
Convertible notes | $ | 977,000 | $ | 967,000 |
The convertible notes have been recorded as a liability. Total transactions costs in the amount of $29,000 were recorded against the liability. The accretion expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 amounts to $10,000 (2023: $8,000).
The interest on the convertible notes for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 amounts to $20,000 (2023: $20,000) and is recorded in financing and interest expense.
Long-term liabilities

Company Background
We are a drug delivery company established in 2003 and headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Our focus is on the contract development and manufacturing of novel oral thin film products for the pharmaceutical market. More recently, we have made the strategic decision to enter the psychedelic market by entering into a strategic partnership agreement with atai Life Sciences. The Company has applied and is operating under a contract development and manufacturing organization ("CDMO") business model. As a full-service CDMO, we are offering partners a comprehensive portfolio of pharmaceutical services, including pharmaceutical research and development ("R&D"), clinical monitoring, regulatory support, tech transfer, manufacturing scale-up and commercial manufacturing.
Our business strategy is to leverage our proprietary drug delivery technologies and develop pharmaceutical products with tangible benefits for patients, for our partners and, once a developed product launches, retain the exclusive manufacturing rights.
Our primary growth strategy is based on providing CDMO services to the pharmaceutical industry. In order to successfully execute our business strategy, it will be essential to create and maintain a fully compliant manufacturing environment capable of meeting customer expectations regarding cGMP compliance and manufacturing capacity.
We have undertaken a strategy under which we will work with pharmaceutical companies in order to apply our oral film technology to pharmaceutical products for which patent protection is nearing expiration, a strategy which is often referred to as "lifecycle management." Under Section 505(b)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetics Act (the "FDCA") ("Section 505(b)(2)"), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") may grant market exclusivity for a term of up to three years following approval of a listed drug that contains previously approved active ingredients but is approved in a new dosage, dosage form, route of administration or a combination.
The Section 505(b)(2) pathway is also the regulatory approach to be followed if an applicant intends to file an application for a product containing a drug that is already approved by the FDA for a certain indication and for which the applicant is seeking approval for a new indication or for a new use, the approval of which is required to be supported by new clinical trials, other than bioavailability studies. We have implemented a strategy under which we actively look for such so-called "repurposing opportunities" and determine whether our proprietary VersaFilm™ technology adds value to the product. We currently have two such drug repurposing projects in our development pipeline.
We continue to develop the existing products in our pipeline and may also perform R&D on other potential products as opportunities arise.
We have established a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility with the intent to manufacture all of our VersaFilm™ products in-house as we believe that this:
• represents a profitable business opportunity;
• will reduce our dependency upon third-party contract manufacturers, thereby protecting our manufacturing process know-how and intellectual property; and
• allows us to offer our clients and development partners a full service from product conception through to supply of the finished product.
We initiated a project to expand the existing manufacturing facility, the timing of which will be dictated in part by the completion of agreements with our commercial partners. This expansion might become necessary in order to meet expected production volumes from our commercial partners. The new facility should create a fourfold increase of our production capacity in addition to offering a one-stop shopping opportunity to our partners and provide better protection of our Intellectual Property.

Technology Platforms
Our main product development efforts are based upon three delivery platform technologies: (1) VersaFilm™, an oral film technology, (2) the VetaFilmTM technology platform for veterinary applications, and (3) DisinteQTM a disintegrating oral film technology.
VersaFilm™ is a drug delivery platform technology that enables the development of oral thin films, improving product performance through:
• rapid disintegration without the need for water;
• quicker buccal or sublingual absorption;
• potential for faster onset of action and increased bioavailability;
• potential for reduced adverse effects by bypassing first-pass metabolism;
• easy administration for patients who have problems swallowing tablets or capsules; pediatric and geriatric patients as well as patients who fear choking and/or are suffering from nausea (e.g., nausea resulting from chemotherapy, radiotherapy or any surgical treatment);
• pleasant taste; and
• small and thin size, making it convenient for consumers.
Our VersaFilm™ technology consists of a thin (25-35 micron) polymeric film comprised of United States Pharmacopeia components that are approved by the FDA for use in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic products. Derived from the edible film technology used for breath strips and initially developed for the instant delivery of savory flavors to food substrates, the VersaFilm™ technology is designed to provide a rapid response and improved bioavailability compared to existing conventional tablets. Our VersaFilm™ technology is intended for indications requiring rapid onset of action, such as migraine, opioid dependence, chronic pain, motion sickness, erectile dysfunction, and nausea or for drug that have a low oral bioavailability and require transmucosal absorption.
Our VetaFilm™ platform technology is designed for the application in companion animals. Dose acceptance and compliance are often a challenge for the care giver which can be overcome with our newly designed VetaFilm™ platform. VetaFilm™ is specifically formulated with flavors that are appealing to pets and to achieve rapid adhesion to the oral mucosa of the animal to achieve compliance.
Our DISINTEQ™ oral disintegrating film formulations will provide different dissolution characteristics compared to VersaFilm®. Instead of quickly dissolving in the oral cavity, DISINTEQ™ formulations disintegrate at a controlled rate. This will allow a slower release of the drug into the oral cavity thereby avoiding saturation of the oral mucosal membranes and increasing mucosal absorption.
Product Opportunities that provide Tangible Patient Benefits
We offer our services to develop oral film products leveraging our VersaFilm™ technology that provide tangible patient benefits versus existing drug delivery forms. Patients with difficulties swallowing medication, pediatrics or geriatrics may benefit from oral films due to the ease of use. Similarly, we are working on oral films to improve bio-availability and/or response time versus existing drugs and thereby reducing side effects. We have also identified the Animal Health sector, particularly the companion animal segment, as an area where our proprietary oral film technology can significantly improve the administration of medication to animals.
Development of New Drug Delivery Technologies
25
The rapidly disintegrating film technology contained in our VersaFilm™, is an example of our efforts to develop alternate technology platforms. As we work with various partners on different products, we seek opportunities to develop new proprietary technologies.
Most recent key developments
On February 5, 2024, the Company announced positive results from a proof-of-concept ("POC") study to assess the palatability, owner-perceived acceptability, and ease of repeated administration of IntelGenx's VetaFilm™ platform in healthy dogs and cats. The POC study was conducted through a research collaboration with the University of Prince Edward Island, one of North America's leading veterinary universities.
On February 20, 2024, the Company announced the launch of a Regulation A offering of up to 2,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Stock"), par value $0.00001 per share, at an offering price of $10.00 per share (the "Offering"), for a maximum Offering amount of $20,000,000.
Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive cumulative dividends in the amount of $0.20 per share each quarter, or 8% per year. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock will be convertible into twenty (20) shares of our common stock ("Common Stock) at the option of the holder, subject to certain conditions in accordance with the requirements of the Toronto Stock Exchange. Commencing on the fifth anniversary of the initial closing of this offering and continuing indefinitely thereafter, the Company shall have a right to call for redemption the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock at a call price equal to 150% of the original issue price of the Series A Preferred Stock, and correspondingly, each holder of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have a right to sell the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder back to the Company at a price equal to 150% of the original issue purchase price of such shares. The Series A Preferred Stock being offered will rank, as to dividend rights and rights upon the Company's liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, senior to the Common Stock.
On March 11, 2024, the Company announced that it entered into a third amended and restated loan agreement dated as of March 8, 2024 (amending the second amended and restated loan agreement dated as of September 30, 2023) (the "Loan Agreement") with atai, pursuant to which, among other things, atai has agreed to make (i) one (1) additional term loan in the amount of US$1,000,000, which loan was disbursed within three (3) business days of the execution of the Loan Agreement (the "First Tranche Loan"), and (ii) one (1) additional term loan in the amount of US$1,000,000, which loan was disbursed subsequent to the end of the quarter on April 19, 2024, upon the achievement of a pre-defined milestone (the "Second Tranche Loan" and collectively with the Second Tranche Loan, the "Additional Term Loans"). The Additional Term Loans will mature on February 1, 2026.
The Loan Agreement provides for the ability for atai to convert (the "Conversion Feature"), from time to time, (i) the principal outstanding under the First Tranche Loan into shares of common stock of the Company (the "Shares") at a conversion price of US$0.185 per Share (the "Conversion Price"), and (ii) the principal outstanding under the Second Tranche Loan into Shares at a conversion price equal to the greater of (a) the Conversion Price and (b) the 5-day volume-weighted average price (the "5-day VWAP") of the Shares on the TSX ending on the day preceding the disbursement by atai of the Second Tranche Loan to the Company or IntelGenx, less the maximum permissible discount under the applicable TSX rules.
Additionally, the Company may elect, with the consent of atai, to pay any accrued but unpaid interest on the Additional Term Loans in Shares at a price per Share equal to the 5-day VWAP of the Shares ending on the day that is the second business day before the day the interest becomes due and payable, less the maximum permissible discount under the applicable TSX rules.
26
Concurrently to entering into the Loan Agreement, the Company has issued 4,000,000 warrants (the "Warrants") to atai. The Warrants entitle atai to purchase Shares at a price of US$0.17 per Share, for a period of 36 months following their issuance.
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, on April 5, 2024, the Company announced that its co-developer, Chemo Research SL, through its agent and affiliate, Xiromed LLC ("Xiromed"), has received a Complete Response Letter ("CRL") from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") regarding its resubmitted abbreviated new drug application ("ANDA") for Buprenorphine Buccal Film.
The CRL includes a request for additional Pharmaceutical Quality information. The FDA confirmed that no additional inspection of IntelGenx's facility is required at this time.
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, on April 8, 2024, the Company announced that that Montelukast VersaFilmTM has been administered to the first Parkinson's Disease ("PD") patients in the Phase 2 ('MONTPARK') clinical trial.
MONTPARK (EudraCT number 2023-504278-39-00) is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel arm, multicentre trial that will investigate the efficacy of oral high-dose Montelukast on the progression of early-to-moderate PD. The study will enroll up to 90 patients who will receive 30 mg Montelukast VersaFilmTM or placebo twice daily for 18-months, followed by a 3-month washout period. Eligible candidates must be on levodopa treatment at the time of enrolment and may also be on other dopaminergic symptomatic agents. MONTPARK is being conducted at the Karolinska University Hospital and at three other Swedish University affiliated institutions under IntelGenx's previously announced research collaboration with Per Svenningsson, MD, PhD, who is serving as the study's Lead Principal Investigator.
All amounts are expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.
Currency rate fluctuations
Our operating currency is Canadian dollars, while our reporting currency is U.S. dollars. Accordingly, our results of operations and balance sheet position have been affected by currency rate fluctuations. In summary, our financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 report an accumulated other comprehensive loss mainly due to foreign currency translation adjustments of $2,145 primarily due to the fluctuations in the rates used to prepare our financial statements, $308 of which positively impacted our comprehensive loss for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024. The following Management Discussion and Analysis takes this into consideration whenever material.
Reconciliation of Comprehensive Loss to Adjusted Earnings (Loss) before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA (Loss))
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-US GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of the Adjusted EBITDA is presented in the table below. The Company uses adjusted financial measures to assess its operating performance. Securities regulations require that companies caution readers that earnings and other measures adjusted to a basis other than US-GAAP do not have standardized meanings and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA to measure its performance from one period to the next without the variation caused by certain adjustments that could potentially distort the analysis of trends in our operating performance, and because the Company believes it provides meaningful information on the Company's financial condition and operating results.
27
IntelGenx obtains its Adjusted EBITDA measurement by adding / (deducting) to comprehensive loss, finance income and costs, depreciation and amortization, income taxes and foreign currency translation adjustment incurred during the period. IntelGenx also excludes the effects of certain non-monetary transactions recorded, such as share-based compensation, for its Adjusted EBITDA calculation. The Company believes it is useful to exclude these items as they are either non-cash expenses, items that cannot be influenced by management in the short term, or items that do not impact core operating performance. Excluding these items does not imply they are necessarily nonrecurring. Share-based compensation costs are a component of employee and consultant's remuneration and can vary significantly with changes in the market price of the Company's shares. Foreign currency translation adjustments are a component of other comprehensive income and can vary significantly with currency fluctuations from one period to another. In addition, other items that do not impact core operating performance of the Company may vary significantly from one period to another. As such, Adjusted EBITDA provides improved continuity with respect to the comparison of the Company's operating results over a period of time. Our method for calculating Adjusted EBITDA may differ from that used by other corporations.

Adjusted Earnings (Loss) before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA Loss)
Adjusted EBITDA (Loss) increased by $317 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 to ($2,733) compared to ($2,416) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA (Loss) of $317 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 is mainly attributable to an increase in SG&A expenses of $400 before consideration of stock-based compensation, offset by a decrease in R&D expenses of $57 before consideration of stock-based compensation, a decrease in manufacturing expenses of $14 before consideration of stock-based compensation, and an increase in revenues of $12.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses
SG&A expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 amounted to $1,934, representing an increase of $639 or 49%, compared to $1,295 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023.
The increase in SG&A expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 is attributable to the variation of the foreign exchange due to the depreciation of the CA dollar vs US currency in the amount of $401, increases in salaries and compensation expenses of $266 (mainly due to the issuance and revaluation of DSUs in the quarter and the grant of RSUs), consulting fees of $33, investor relations expenses of $14, and leasehold expenses of $6, offset by decreases in professional fees of $45, insurance expense of $24, and general office expenses of $12.
Depreciation of tangible assets
In the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 we recorded an expense of $202 for the depreciation of tangible assets, compared with an expense of $192 for the same period of the previous year.
Share-based compensation expense, warrants and stock-based payments
Share-based payments expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 amounted to $300 compared to $11 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023.
We expensed approximately $299 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 for options/PRSUs and RSUs granted to our employees in 2022, 2023 and 2024 under the 2022 Stock Option Plan and $1 for options granted to a consultant in 2024, compared with $8 and $3, respectively that was expensed in the same period of the previous year.
There remains approximately $514 in stock-based compensation to be expensed in fiscal 2024 through 2027 of which $12 relates to the issuance of options to a consultant during 2024. We anticipate the issuance of additional options and warrants in the future, which will continue to result in stock-based compensation expense

Going concern
The Company has financed its operations to date primarily through public offerings of its common stock, proceeds from issuance of convertible notes and debentures, bank loans, royalty, up-front and milestone payments, license fees, proceeds from exercise of warrants and options, and research and development revenues. The Company has devoted substantially all of its resources to its drug development efforts, conducting clinical trials to further advance the product pipeline, the expansion of its facilities, protecting its intellectual property and general and administrative functions relating to these operations. The future success of the Company is dependent on its ability to develop its product pipeline and ultimately upon its ability to attain profitable operations. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had cash totaling approximately $772. The Company does not have sufficient existing cash to support operations for the next year following the issuance of these financial statements. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, management plans to explore any available strategic alternatives.
31
Depending on the strategic alternatives available and if the Company is unable to raise further capital when needed or on attractive terms, or if it is unable to procure partnership arrangements to advance its programs, the Company would be forced to potentially delay, reduce or eliminate some of its research and development programs and commercial activities.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments or classifications that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be unable to realize the carrying value of its assets and to meet its liabilities as they become due.
Current assets
Current assets totaled $2,077 as at March 31, 2024 compared with $3,441 as at December 31, 2023. The decrease of $1,364 is mainly attributable to a decrease in cash of $1,510, offset by increases in prepaid expenses of $16, investment tax credits receivable of $33, and inventory of $102.
Cash
Cash totaled $772 as at March 31, 2024 representing a decrease of $1,510 compared with the balance of $2,282 as at December 31, 2023.

Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable totaled $618 as at March 31, 2024 representing a decrease of $4 compared with the balance of $622 as at December 31, 2023. The decrease is related to the collection of receivables offset by the invoicing of revenues incurred in the three-month period ended March 31, 2024.
Prepaid expenses
As at March 31, 2024 prepaid expenses totaled $239 compared with $223 as of December 31, 2023. The increase may be explained by advance payments made in January 2024.
Investment tax credits receivable
R&D investment tax credits receivable totaled approximately $201 as at March 31, 2024 compared with $168 as at December 31, 2023. The increase is attributable to the accrual estimated and recorded for the first three months of 2024.
Leasehold improvements and equipment
As at March 31, 2024, the net book value of leasehold improvements and equipment amounted to $3,682, compared to $3,958 at December 31, 2023.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities totaled $3,023 as at March 31, 2024 compared with $2,661 as at December 31, 2023. The increase is attributable to an increase in trade payables for R&D and Manufacturing costs incurred.
Accrued interest expense
Accrued interest expense totaled $1,426 as at March 31, 2024 compared with $1,249 as at December 31, 2023. The increase is attributable to the fact that the interest expense has not been paid.
Term loan
