Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements |
September 30, 2018 |
(Expressed in U.S. Funds) |
(Unaudited) |
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, 2017. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018. The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). 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 the Company and its subsidiary companies. 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 Companys 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, bank loans, royalty, up-front and milestone payments, license fees, proceeds from exercise of warrants and options, research and development revenues and the sale of U.S. royalty on future sales of Forfivo XL®. 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 September 30, 2018, the Company had cash and short-term investments totaling approximately $2,220. The Company does not have sufficient existing cash and short-term investments to support operations for the next year following the issuance of these financial statements. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans to alleviate these conditions include pursuing one or more of the following steps to raise additional funding, none of which can be guaranteed or are entirely within the Companys control:

2. |
Going Concern (Cont'd) |
|
Raise funding through the possible sale of the Companys common stock, including public or private equity financings. | |
|
Raise funding through debt financing. | |
|
Continue to seek partners to advance product pipeline. | |
|
Initiate oral film manufacturing activities. | |
|
Initiate contract oral film manufacturing activities. |
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, in October 2018, the Company raised gross proceeds of approximately $12.6 million through the Offering and its over-allotment option.
If the Company is unable to raise 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 delay, reduce or eliminate its research and development programs.
The accompanying consolidated interim 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 interim 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. |
Adoption of New Accounting Standards |
The Company adopted Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers with a date of the initial application of January 1, 2018. As a result, the Company has changed its accounting policy for revenue recognition as detailed below.
This standard applies to all contracts with customers, except for contracts that are within the scope of other standards, such as leases, insurance, collaboration arrangements and financial instruments. Under Topic 606, an entity recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those good or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements subject to the scope of Topic 606, the entity performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of Topic 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and identifies performance obligations that are distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to each performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards (Contd) |
ASC 606 uses the terms contract asset and contract liability to describe what might more commonly be known as accrued revenue and deferred revenue. The Company has adopted the terminology used in ASC 606 to describe such balances.
The Companys accounting policies for its revenue streams are disclosed in Note 4 below. Apart from providing more extensive disclosures on the Companys revenue transactions, the application of ASC 606 has not had a significant impact on the financial position and/or financial performance of the Company.
The FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Stock compensation, which provides guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting under Topic 718. The statement is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company has made an accounting policy choice to recognize the effect of awards for which the requisite service is not rendered when the award is forfeited (that is, recognize the effect of forfeitures in compensation cost when they occur). Previously recognized compensation cost for an award shall be reversed in the period that the award is forfeited. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Companys financial position or results.
The FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations, which clarifies the definition of a business and is intended to help companies evaluate whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. These amendments are effective for a public business entity for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Companys financial position or results.
The FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows, which requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted or restricted cash equivalents. The statement is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Companys financial position or results.
The FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income taxes, and requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. These amendments are effective for a public business entity for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Companys financial position or results.
The FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows, which clarifies how certain cash receipts and payments are to be presented in the Statement of cash flows. The statement is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Companys financial position or results.

3. |
Adoption of New Accounting Standards (Contd) |
The FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments. The targeted amendments to existing guidance include:
1. |
Equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method would be measured at fair value through net income, unless they qualify for the proposed practicability exception for investments that do not have readily determinable fair values. | |
2. |
Changes in instrument-specific credit risk for financial liabilities that are measured under the fair value option would be recognized in other comprehensive income. | |
3. |
Entities would make the assessment of the realizability of a deferred tax asset (DTA) related to an available- for-sale (AFS) debt security in combination with the entitys other DTAs. The guidance would eliminate one method that is currently acceptable for assessing the realizability of DTAs related to AFS debt securities. That is, an entity would no longer be able to consider its intent and ability to hold debt securities with unrealized losses until recovery. | |
4. |
Disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost would no longer be required for entities that are not public business entities. |
For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Companys financial position or results.

Significant Accounting Policies |
Revenue Recognition
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.
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.

Significant Accounting Policies (Contd) |
Licensing and Collaboration Arrangements
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 relative standalone selling price basis. The stand-alone selling price is estimated based on the comparable market prices, expected cost plus margin and the Companys historical experience.
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 Companys 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 Companys 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:

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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2018-13 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure FrameworkChanges to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement
The FASB issued ASU 2018-13 which modifies the disclosure requirements in Topic 820 as follows:
Removals
-The amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy;
-The policy for timing of transfers between levels;
-The valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements; and
-For nonpublic entities, the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in earnings recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period.
Modifications
-In lieu of a rollforward for Level 3 fair value measurements, a nonpublic entity is required to disclose transfers into and out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and purchases and issues of Level 3 assets and liabilities;
-For investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value, an entity is required to disclose the timing of liquidation of an investees assets and the date when restrictions from redemption might lapse only if the investee has communicated the timing to the entity or announced the timing publicly; and
-The amendments clarify that the measurement uncertainty disclosure is to communicate information about the uncertainty in measurement as of the reporting date.

Additions
-The changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period; and
- The range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, an entity may disclose other quantitative information (such as the median or arithmetic average) in lieu of the weighted average if the entity determines that other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements.
These amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this Statement on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2018-11 Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements
The FASB issued ASU 2018-11 which provides entities with an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new leases standard. Under this new transition method, an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Consequently, an entitys reporting for the comparative periods presented in the financial statements in which it adopts the new leases standard will continue to be in accordance with current GAAP (Topic 840, Leases).
The amendments also provide lessors with a practical expedient, by class of underlying asset, to not separate nonlease components from the associated lease component and, instead, to account for those components as a single component if the nonlease components otherwise would be accounted for under the new revenue guidance (Topic 606) and certain criteria are met: If the nonlease component or components associated with the lease component are the predominant component of the combined component, an entity is required to account for the combined component in accordance with Topic 606. Otherwise, the entity must account for the combined component as an operating lease in accordance with Topic 842.
These amendments are effective for a public business entity upon adoption of Topic 842. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this Statement on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2018-10 Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases
The FASB issued ASU 2018-10 which amends the narrow aspects of the guidance issued in the amendments in ASU 2016-02 including those regarding residual value guarantees, rate implicit in the lease, lessee reassessment of lease classification, lessor reassessment of lease term and purchase option, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, investment tax credits, lease term and purchase option, transition guidance for amounts previously recognized in business combinations, certain transition adjustments, transition guidance for leases previously classified as capital leases under Topic 840, transition guidance for modifications to leases previously classified as direct financing or sales-type leases under Topic 840, transition guidance for sale and leaseback transactions, impairment of net investment in the lease, unguaranteed residual asset, effect of initial direct costs on rate implicit in the lease, and failed sale and leaseback transactions. These amendments are effective for a public business entity upon adoption of Topic 842. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this Statement on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2018-07 Compensation Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting
The FASB issued ASU 2018-07 to expand the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. These amendments are effective for a public business entity for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this Statement on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2018-02 Income Statement Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
The FASB issued ASU 2018-02 which provides financial statement preparers with an option to reclassify stranded tax effects within AOCI to retained earnings in each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (or portion thereof) is recorded. These amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the Statement on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2017-11 Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features
The FASB issued ASU 2017-11 which requires companies to disregard the down round feature when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to its own stock, for purposes of determining liability or equity classification. Companies that provide earnings per share (EPS) data will adjust their basic EPS calculation for the effect of the feature when triggered (i.e., when the exercise price of the related equity-linked financial instrument is adjusted downward because of the down round feature) and will also recognize the effect of the trigger within equity. These amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this Statement on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2017-04 Intangibles Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment
The FASB issued ASU 2017-04 which eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test and eliminates the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment. These amendments are effective for a public business entity for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period and should be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this Statement on its consolidated financial statements.

Company Background
We are a drug delivery company established in 2003 and
headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Our focus is on the development of
novel oral immediate-release and controlled-release products for the
pharmaceutical market.
More recently, we have made the strategic decision to
enter the oral film market and have implemented commercial oral film
manufacturing capability. This enables us to offer our partners a comprehensive
portfolio of pharmaceutical services, including pharmaceutical R&D, clinical
monitoring, regulatory support, tech transfer and manufacturing scale-up, and
commercial manufacturing.
Our business strategy is to develop pharmaceutical
products based on our proprietary drug delivery technologies and, once the
viability of a product has been demonstrated, license the commercial rights to
partners in the pharmaceutical industry. In certain cases, we rely upon partners
in the pharmaceutical industry to fund the development of the licensed products,
complete the regulatory approval process with the FDA or other regulatory
agencies relating to the licensed products, and assume responsibility for
marketing and distributing such products.
In addition, we may choose to
pursue the development of certain products until the project reaches the
marketing and distribution stage. We will assess the potential for successful
development of a product and associated costs, and then determine at which stage
it is most prudent to seek a partner, balancing such costs against the potential
for additional returns earned by partnering later in the development process.
Our primary growth strategies are based on three pillars: (1) out licensing
commercial rights of our existing pipeline products, (2) partnering on contract
development and manufacturing projects leveraging our VersaFilm technology, (3)
expanding our current pipeline through:
|
identifying lifecycle management opportunities for existing market leading pharmaceutical products, | |
|
develop oral film products that provide tangible patient benefits, | |
|
development of new drug delivery technologies, | |
|
repurposing existing drugs for new indications, and | |
|
developing generic drugs where high technology barriers to entry exist in reproducing branded films. |
Contract Development and Manufacturing based on VersaFilm
technology
We have established a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility for
the future manufacture of our VersaFilm products. We believe that this (1)
represents a profitable business opportunity, (2) will reduce our dependency
upon third-party contract manufacturers, thereby protecting our manufacturing
process know-how and intellectual property, and (3) allows us to offer our
development partners a full service from product conception through to supply of
the finished product.
Lifecycle Management Opportunities
We are seeking to
position our delivery technologies as an opportunity for lifecycle management of
products for which patent protection of the active ingredient is nearing
expiration. While the patent for the underlying substance cannot be extended,
patent protection can be obtained for a new and improved formulation by filing
an application with the FDA under Section 505(b)(2) of the U.S. Federal Food,
Drug and Cosmetic Act. Such applications, known as a 505(b)(2)
NDA, are permitted for new drug products that incorporate previously approved
active ingredients, even if the proposed new drug incorporates an approved
active ingredient in a novel formulation or for a new indication. A 505(b)(2)
NDA may include information regarding safety and efficacy of a proposed drug
that comes from studies not conducted by or for the applicant. The first
formulation for a respective active ingredient filed with the FDA under a
505(b)(2) application may qualify for up to three years of market exclusivity
upon approval. Based upon a review of past partnerships between third party drug
delivery companies and pharmaceutical companies, management believes that drug
delivery companies which possess innovative technologies to develop these
special dosage formulations present an attractive opportunity to pharmaceutical
companies. Accordingly, we believe 505(b)(2) products represent a viable
business opportunity for us.
4
Product Opportunities that provide Tangible Patient Benefits
Our focus will be on developing 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.
Development of New Drug Delivery Technologies
The rapidly
disintegrating film technology contained in our VersaFilm, and our AdVersa®
mucosal adhesive tablet, are two examples 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.
Repurposing Existing Drugs
We are working on the
repurposing of already approved drugs for new indications using our VersaFilm
film technology. This program represents a viable growth strategy for us as it
will allow for reduced development costs, improved success rates and shorter
approval times. We believe that through our repurposing program we will be able
minimize the risk of developmental failure and create value for us and potential
partners.
Generic Drugs with High Barriers to Entry
We plan to pursue
the development of generic drugs that have certain barriers to entry, e.g.,
where product development and manufacturing is complex and can limit the number
of potential entrants into the generic market. We plan to pursue such projects
only if the number of potential competitors is deemed relatively
insignificant.
Corporate
Manufacturing facility
We currently manufacture products
only for clinical and testing purposes in our own facility and we do not yet
manufacture products for commercial use. In order to establish ourselves as a
full-service partner for our thin film products, we invested approximately $6.5
million to establish a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility for the
commercial manufacture of products developed using our VersaFilm drug delivery
technology. Since we recently received our cGMP-compliant rating from Health
Canada for manufacturing and packaging activities, we anticipate the
manufacturing of our products to commence on the first half of 2019.
Expansion to the existing Manufacturing Facility
On March
6, 2017 IntelGenx executed an agreement to lease approximately an additional
11,000 square feet in a property located at 6410 Abrams, St-Laurent, Quebec.
The Lease has an 8 year and 5-month term commencing on October 1, 2017 and
IntelGenx has retained two options to extend the Lease, with each option being
for an additional five years. Under the terms of the Lease IntelGenx will be
required to pay base rent of approximately CA$74 thousand (approximately $59
thousand) per year, which will increase at a rate of CA$0.25 ($0.20) per square
foot every two years. IntelGenx plans to use the newly leased space to expand
its manufacture of oral film VersaFilm TM.
5
The Company has 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 as well as obtaining the necessary funding. This expansion became necessary following requests by commercial partners to increase manufacturing capacity and provide solvent film manufacturing capabilities. The new facility should create a fivefold 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. The Company has signed agreements in the amount of Euro1,911 thousand with three suppliers with respect to equipment for solvent film manufacturing. As at September 30, 2018 an amount of Euro988 thousand has been paid.
Most recent key developments
On July 3, 2018, IntelGenx issued 307,069 common shares of the Corporation at a deemed price of CAD$0.99 per Common Share in payment of an aggregate of CAD$304,000 in interest owing on the Corporations 8.00% convertible unsecured subordinated debentures due September 30, 2020. Under the terms of the trust indenture governing the Debentures, the Corporation has the option to pay the semi-annual interest on the Debentures in either cash or Common Shares, subject to customary conditions set forth in the Indenture.
On July 05, 2018, IntelGenx announced that the Canadian Intellectual Property Office issued a Notice of Allowance (NOA) for the Companys Canadian Patent Application Number 2,998,223 entitled Loxapine Film Oral Dosage Form, covering the use of loxapine in an oral transmucosal film for the treatment of schizophrenia or bipolar 1 disorder. This is the Companys first patent allowed in Canada and the Companys first Canadian patent for its VersaFilm technology. Upon issuance, the patent will grant exclusivity protection in Canada for IntelGenxs Loxapine VersaFilm product for the treatment of schizophrenia or bipolar 1 disorder through 2037. This is also the Companys first patent application to receive NOA in relation to its Loxapine VersaFilm project.
On September 20, 2018, IntelGenx announced that it had executed a non-binding letter of intent with Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ:TLRY), a global leader in cannabis research, cultivation, production and distribution, to co-develop and commercialize oral film products infused with recreational and medical cannabis, in anticipation of amended cannabis regulations which would allow adult-use consumers to purchase edible products.
Pursuant to the LOI, subject to entering into a definitive agreement and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, IntelGenx and Tilray will fund 20% and 80% of the costs associated with the development of the cannabis-infused VersaFilm products, respectively. IntelGenx will have rights to manufacture and supply the co-developed products to Tilray, and will also receive a fixed single-digit royalty on net product sales. Tilray will have the exclusive, worldwide marketing and distribution rights for the co-developed products.
The LOI also contemplates that, at the time of entering into the definitive agreement, Tilray® will make a strategic investment in IntelGenx by way of a non-brokered private placement. Tilray® will purchase 1,250,000 common shares of IntelGenx at a price of $0.80 per share, which is equal to the five-day volume weighted average closing price of IntelGenx common stock on the OTCQX for the period ended September 18, 2018. IntelGenx intends to use the proceeds from the Private Placement for cannabis-infused VersaFilm product development in connection with the LOI. The Private Placement will be subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
Subsequent to the end of the quarter on November 7, 2018, IntelGenx announced the execution of a definitive license, development and supply agreement (the Agreement) with Tilray®. In connection with the Agreement, the parties have also executed a subscription agreement pursuant to which Tilary® will make a strategic investment in IntelGenx by way of a non-brokered private placement (Private Placement). Pursuant to the Private Placement, Tilray® will purchase 1,428,571 common shares of IntelGenx at a price of $0.70 per share for gross proceeds to IntelGenx of $1 million. The price of $0.70 per share, rather than the $0.80 per share price which had been proposed in the non-binding LOI between the parties announced on September 20, 2018, represents the price per unit paid by investors under IntelGenxs recent public offering. The Private Placement is expected to close on or about November 9, 2018, subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange and satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

On September 24, 2018, IntelGenx announced successful results from a bioequivalence study for RIZAPORT®, its proprietary anti-migraine VersaFilm product. The study results demonstrated RIZAPORT® is bioequivalent to the U.S. reference, Maxalt®-MTL, and the European reference, Maxalt®-Lingua.
The bioequivalence study was a single-dose, randomized, open-label, three-way crossover, pivotal, comparative bioavailability study of RIZAPORT® 10 mg, Maxalt®-MLT 10 mg orally disintegrating tablets and Maxalt®-Lingua 10 mg oro-dispersible tablets in 30 healthy volunteers. The study was conducted under the direction of Biopharma Services in Toronto, ON.
The bioequivalence study is expected to support the submission of the additional information related to the transfer of manufacturing to IntelGenx GMP compliant site required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") to allow for a full review of the Companys 505(b)(2) New Drug Application ("NDA") resubmission for RIZAPORT®. The study will also be used to support applications to transfer the manufacturing of RIZAPORT® from the European contract manufacturer listed in the initial application to IntelGenx site. Additionally, it will be used to support applications in additional European countries.
On September 25, 2018, IntelGenx announced that patient recruitment had commenced for the Phase 2a study with Montelukast VersaFilm in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimers Disease (AD). Two research sites (the Centre for Memory and Aging in Toronto, ON and True North Clinical Research in Halifax, NS) were activated and had open for patient enrolment as of September 26, 2018.
This randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled Phase 2a proof of concept study will enroll approximately 70 subjects with mild to moderate AD across eight Canadian research sites. The primary study objectives will be to evaluate the safety, feasibility, tolerability, and efficacy of Montelukast buccal film following daily dosing for 26 weeks.
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, on October 22, 2018, the Company announced the closing of its offering (the Offering) of 17,144,314 units (the Units) at a price of US$0.70 (the Offering Price) for gross proceeds of approximately $12,000,000 in the United States and the Canadian provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec. On October 26, 2018, the Company announced that Echelon Wealth Partners Inc., who acted as the Companys exclusive placement agent in Canada in connection with the Offering, exercised its option to place a further 903,610 Units pursuant to its over-allotment option, resulting in additional gross proceeds to the Company of $632,527.Each Unit consists of one share of common stock of the Company and one half of one warrant, each whole Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one share of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The Warrants are exercisable immediately and will expire on the third anniversary of the date of their issuance.
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, a total of 883,867 warrants were exercised for 883,867 common shares having a par value of $Nil in aggregate, for cash consideration of approximately $499 thousand. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, CAD$23,000 of convertible debentures were converted into 17,036 common shares at the option of the holders.

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 nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 report an accumulated other comprehensive loss due to foreign currency translation adjustments of $727 primarily due to the fluctuations in the rates used to prepare our financial statements, $101 of which negatively impacted our comprehensive loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018. The following Management Discussion and Analysis takes this into consideration whenever material.
Reconciliation of Comprehensive Loss to Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA)
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 Companys financial condition and operating results.
IntelGenx obtains its Adjusted EBITDA measurement by adding 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 consultants remuneration and can vary significantly with changes in the market price of the Companys 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 Companys operating results over a period of time. Our method for calculating Adjusted EBITDA may differ from that used by other corporations.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $1,937 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018 to ($2,277) compared to ($340) for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA of $1,937 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018 is mainly attributable to a decrease in revenues of $554, an increase in SG&A expenses of $624 before consideration of stock-based compensation and an increase in R&D expenses of $856 before consideration of stock-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $5,090 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 to ($5,937) compared to ($847) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA of $5,090 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 is mainly attributable to a decrease in revenues of $2,560, an increase in SG&A expenses of $1,599 before consideration of stock-based compensation and an increase in R&D expenses of $1,209 before consideration of stock-based compensation.

Revenue
Total revenues for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018 amounted to $700, representing a decrease of $554 or 44% compared to $1,254 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017. Total revenues for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 amounted to $1,173, representing a decrease of $2,560 or 69% compared to $3,733 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017. The decrease for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to the last years corresponding period is mainly attributable to a decrease in deferred revenues on monetization of $972 offset by an increase in R&D revenues of $418. The decrease for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to the last years corresponding period is mainly attributable to a decrease in upfronts of $413, deferred revenues on monetization of $2,801 offset by an increase in R&D revenues of $654.
Cost of royalty and license revenue
We recorded $Nil for the cost of royalty and license revenue in the three-month period ended September 30, 2018 compared with $97 in the same period of 2017. We recorded $Nil for the cost of royalty and license revenue in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 compared with $278 in the same period of 2017. This expense relates to a Project Transfer Agreement that was executed in May 2010 with one of our former development partners whereby we acquired full rights to, and ownership of, Forfivo XL®, our novel, high strength formulation of Bupropion hydrochloride, the active ingredient in Wellbutrin XL®. Pursuant to the Project Transfer Agreement and following commercial launch of Forfivo XL® in October 2012, we are required, after recovering an aggregate $200 for management fees previously paid, to pay our former development partner 10% of net product sales received from the sale of Forfivo XL®. We recovered the final portion of the management fees in December 2014, thereby invoking payments to our former development partner. Following the monetization of Forfivo XL®s royalties, we are required to record 10% of the deferred revenues from the monetization as cost of royalty and license revenue until December 31, 2017 which represented $Nil for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018.
10
Research and development (R&D) expenses
R&D expenses for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018 amounted to $1,452, representing an increase of $874 or 151%, compared to $578 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017. R&D expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 amounted to $3,106, representing an increase of $1,230 or 66%, compared to $1,876 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017.
The increase in R&D expenses for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018 is mainly attributable to an increase in study costs of $565, an increase in analytical costs of $220, an increase in lab supplies of $125, as well as an increase in patent expenses of $40, offset by an increase in tax credits of $47. The increase in R&D expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 is mainly attributable to an increase in study costs of $919, an increase in R&D salaries due to hiring of additional employees of $231 as well as an increase in analytical costs of $351, offset by an increase in tax credits of $141 and a decrease in lab supplies of $138.
In the three-month period ended September 30, 2018 we recorded estimated Research and Development Tax Credits of $78, compared with $31 that was recorded in the same period of the previous year. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 we recorded estimated Research and Development Tax Credits of $233, compared with $92 that was recorded in the same period of the previous year.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses
SG&A expenses for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018 amounted to $1,713, representing an increase of $750 or 78%, compared to $963 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017. SG&A expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 amounted to $4,315 representing an increase of $1,622 or 60%, compared to $2,693 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017.
The increase in SG&A expenses for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018 is mainly attributable to increases in manufacturing expense of $309, salaries and compensation expenses of $275, office and general expenses of $112, professional fees of $57 and rent and utilities expenses of $37. The increase in SG&A expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 is mainly attributable to increases in salaries and compensation expenses of $570, manufacturing expense of $418, professional fees of $361, office and general expenses of $195 and rent and utilities expenses of $125. The increase in professional fees were mainly related to costs attributable to the aborted capital raise as well as the Laboval acquisition which is currently on hold. These expenses are deemed to be non-recurring in nature.
Depreciation of tangible assets
In the three-month period ended September 30, 2018 we recorded an expense of $178 for the depreciation of tangible assets, compared with an expense of $185 for the same period of the previous year. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 we recorded an expense of $540 for the depreciation of tangible assets, compared with an expense of $525 for the same period of the previous year.
Share-based compensation expense, warrants and stock-based payments
Share-based compensation warrants and share-based payments expense for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018 amounted to $188 compared to $44 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017.

Going Concern
The Company has financed its operations to date primarily through public offerings of its common stock, convertible debentures, convertible notes, bank loans, royalty, up-front and milestone payments, license fees, proceeds from exercise of warrants and options, research and development revenues and the sale of U.S. royalty on future sales of Forfivo XL®. 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 September 30, 2018, the Company had cash and short-term investments totaling approximately $2,220. The Company does not have sufficient existing cash and short-term investments to support operations for the next year following the issuance of these financial statements. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans to alleviate these conditions include pursuing one or more of the following steps to raise additional funding, none of which can be guaranteed or are entirely within the Companys control:
12
|
Raise funding through the possible sale of the Companys common stock, including public or private equity financings. | |
|
Raise funding through debt financing. | |
|
Continue to seek partners to advance product pipeline. | |
|
Initiate oral film manufacturing activities. | |
|
Initiate contract oral film manufacturing activities. |
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, in October 2018, the
Company raised gross proceeds of approximately $12.6 million through the
Offering and its over-allotment option.
If the Company is unable to raise
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
delay, reduce or eliminate its research and development programs.
The
accompanying 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 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 $4,062 as at September 30, 2018 compared with $6,044 at December 31, 2017.
