The address of the Company’s corporate office and principal place of business is 201- 2067 Cadboro Bay Road, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis with the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. At September 30, 2024, the Company had cash of $8,661,796. The Company has not yet generated revenue from operations. The Company incurred a net loss of $18,212,147 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and as of that date, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $123,494,874. As the Company is in the research and development stage, the recoverability of the costs incurred to date is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary funding to complete the research and development of its projects and upon future commercialization or proceeds from the monetization of research activities.
The Company will periodically have to raise funds to continue operations and raised gross proceeds of $25,026,073 (CDN$33,867,784) through an overnight marketed public offering of 8,260,435 Common Shares in March 2024, and a further $31,997,837 (CDN$44,528,190) through a non-brokered private placement of 8,905,638 Series 1 Preferred Shares on October 31, 2024 (see Note 20 – Subsequent Event). Although it has been successful in doing so in the past, there is no assurance it will be able to do so in the future, especially with the ongoing conflicts in the Ukraine and the Middle East affecting the global capital markets. The Company is active in its pursuit of additional funding through potential partnering and other strategic activities as well as grants to fund future research and development activities, and additional equity financing.
The continued operations of the Company are dependent on its ability to generate future cash flows or obtain additional funding. There is a risk that in the future, additional financing will not be available on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to the Company. These events and conditions may cast substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in business.
