BETTERLIFE PHARMA INC. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the Three Months Ended April 30, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) (Unaudited)

1. Nature of Operations and Going Concern

BetterLife Pharma Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in British Columbia under the Business Corporations Act on June 10, 2002 whose common shares are publicly traded on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol “BETR”. The Company is a biopharmaceutical company engaged in the development and commercialization of patented, differentiated and premium quality pharmaceuticals.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, no adjustments to the carrying value of the assets and liabilities have been made in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements should the Company no longer be able to continue as a going concern. Any such adjustments could be material. As at April 30, 2021, the Company has not earned any revenue and has an accumulated deficit of $93,454,819. The continued operations of the Company are dependent on its ability to generate future cash flows through additional financing or commercialization, which have been impacted as a result of the global outbreak of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) (Note 2(d)). Management intends to continue to pursue additional financing through issuances of equity. There is no assurance that additional funding will be available on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to the Company. These events or conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that casts substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The head office and principal address of the Company is located at 1275 West 6[th] Avenue, #300, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6H 1A6.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

  • (a) Basis of Compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, using accounting policies which are consistent with IFRS as issued by the IASB. They do not include all of the information required for full annual consolidated financial statements in compliance with IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the most recent annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2021 and should be read in conjunction with those audited consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorized for issue on June 28, 2021.

(b) Basis of Measurement and Presentation

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for cash that has been measured at fair value, and are presented in Canadian dollars.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(c) Basis of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company. Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which the Company obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. The Company has consolidated the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of its subsidiaries after the elimination of inter-company transactions and balances.

The consolidating entities include:

(d) Use of Estimates and Judgments

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

Estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

For critical judgments used by management, refer to the Company’s most recent annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2021.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(e) Foreign Currency

The Company’s presentation currency is the Canadian dollar. The functional currency of the parent entity, BetterLife Pharma Inc., and its subsidiaries, Altum Pharmaceuticals Inc., Pivot Pharmaceuticals Manufacturing Corp. and Blife Therapeutics Inc., is the Canadian dollar. The functional currency of the U.S. subsidiaries, Altum S1M US Corp., BetterLife Pharma US Inc., Pivot Naturals, LLC and Thrudermic, LLC, is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the European subsidiaries, BetterLife Europe Pharmaceuticals AG and Solmic AG, is Swiss Francs. The functional currency of the Hong Kong based subsidiary, Altum Pharmaceuticals (HK) Limited, is the Hong Kong dollar. The functional currency of the Australian subsidiary, Altum Pharma (Australia) Pty Ltd., is the Australian dollar.

Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of the Company and its subsidiaries at the exchange rate in effect at the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in other than the functional currency are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the financial position date. The resulting exchange gains and losses are recognized in the condensed consolidated interim statements of comprehensive loss. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities denominated in other than the functional currency that are measured at fair value are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value is determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in other than the functional currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of transaction.

Foreign operations

For consolidation purposes, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated to the presentation currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the financial position date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to the presentation currency using the average rates of exchange during the period. All resulting exchange differences are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) and accumulated in a separate component of shareholders’ equity, described as foreign currency translation adjustment.

(f) Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income or loss is the change in net assets arising from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Financial assets that are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income will have revaluation gains and losses included in other comprehensive income or loss until the asset is removed from the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position. Certain gains and losses on the translation of amounts between the functional and presentation currency of the Company are included in other comprehensive income or loss.

(g) Income (Loss) Per Share

The Company presents the basic and diluted earnings or loss per share data for its common shares, calculated by dividing the earnings or loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings or loss per share is determined by adjusting the earnings or loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements For the Three Months Ended April 30, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) (Unaudited)

3. New Accounting Pronouncements

The following new accounting standards and interpretations will be adopted by the Company subsequent to April 30, 2021.

  • (a) IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements

IAS 1 has been revised to (i) clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current should be based on rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period and align the wording in all affected paragraphs to refer to the "right" to defer settlement by at least twelve months and make explicit that only rights in place "at the end of the reporting period" should affect the classification of a liability; (ii) clarify that classification is unaffected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of a liability; and (iii) make clear that settlement refers to the transfer to the counterparty of cash, equity instruments, other assets or services. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 and are to be applied retrospectively. Earlier application is permitted.

IAS 1 has also been amended to help preparers in deciding which accounting policies to disclose in their financial statements. The amendments are to be applied prospectively and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. Earlier application is permitted. The Company does not expect the revisions to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

(b) IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors

IAS 8 has been amended to introduce the definition of an accounting estimate and include other amendments to help entities distinguish changes in accounting estimates from changes in accounting policies. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 and changes in accounting policies and changes in accounting estimates that occur on or after the start of that period. Earlier application is permitted. The Company does not expect the amendment to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

(c) IAS 16 – Property, Plant and Equipment (“IAS 16”)

IAS 16 has been amended to prohibit a company from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while the company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, a company will recognize such sales proceeds and related cost in profit or loss. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. Earlier application is permitted. The Company does not expect the amendment to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

(d) IAS 37 – Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (“IAS 37”)

IAS 37 has been amended to clarify that for the purpose of assessing whether a contract is onerous, the cost of fulfilling the contract includes both the incremental costs of fulfilling that contract and an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. Earlier application is permitted. The Company does not expect the amendment to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

4. Settlement and Asset Abandonment

On February 13, 2020, the Company signed a Settlement Agreement and Release Agreement (“Settlement Agreement”) with two of its former employees in Pivot Naturals, LLC (“Pivot Naturals”) to settle the following legal matters:

  • A demand for arbitration filed by these former employees before the American Arbitration Association alleging claims for breach of the written employment contracts, fraud, illegal retaliation in violation of California’s whistleblower statute and tortious discharge in violation of public policy seeking, among other things, recovery of damages for breach of employment contracts, including recovery of severance amounts, damages for breach of alleged option rights, waiting time penalties, as well as other general and punitive damages on the tort claims; and

  • A suit filed in British Columbia by the Company against the former employees for declaratory relief and related matters concerning control and use of the Company’s assets.

Consideration for the Settlement Agreement included:

  • Assignment of Pivot Naturals to Goodbuzz Inc. as follows: 1) 80% of membership interest on the initial closing date (“Initial Closing Date”) (completed February 2020), and 2) 20% on a second closing date which is the earlier of April 30, 2020 and a date upon with certain conditions are met (“Second Closing Date”) (completed April 2020).

  • $264,660 (US$200,000) payment to be made as follows: 1) $165,413 (US$125,000) upon Initial Closing Date (completed in February 2020), and 2) $99,247 (US$75,000) upon Second Closing Date (completed in April 2020).

  • Payment of the monthly lease due on the lease at 3595 Cadillac Avenue in California, U.S.A. for the months of February, March and April 2020 (completed in February 2020).

Together with the assignment of Pivot Naturals, the Company assigned its right-of-use (“ROU”) asset related to its lease at 3595 Cadillac Avenue and extinguished accounts payable and accrued liabilities and obligations related to this lease. The following gain on abandonment of assets has been included in the condensed consolidated interim statement of comprehensive loss for the three months ended April 30, 2020:

5. Sale of Assets

On October 2, 2020, the Company signed a share purchase agreement with an unrelated third party (the “Purchaser”) for the sale of 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Pivot Pharmaceuticals Manufacturing Corp. (“Pivot”), a fully-owned subsidiary. Pursuant to the sale of Pivot, the Company’s lease of the manufacturing facility in Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Quebec, Canada (the “Facility”) and its in-process Health Canada license application (the “Application”) was transferred to the Purchaser and the Company is no longer pursuing the Application for processing of cannabis products in Canada.

Consideration included the following: 1) Purchaser settling Pivot and the Company’s outstanding obligations with the lessor of the Facility of $135,879 (completed), 2) Cancellation of any amounts that Pivot or the Company may owe to the Purchaser (completed), 3) Purchaser’s assumption of the lease of the Facility as of September 1, 2020 (completed), 4) Cancellation by Pivot of obligations that the Purchaser owes to Pivot (completed), 5) Purchaser’s assumption of further obligations with respect to the Application (completed), and 6) Purchaser’s discontinuation of its lawsuit filed in the Province of Quebec against Pivot (completed).

The Company evaluated the disposal of Pivot in accordance with IFRS 5, Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, and determined that it did not meet the definition of discontinued operations.

6. Asset Acquisitions

  • (a) On December 7, 2020, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Nutraneeds LLC (“Nutraneeds”) whereby the Company issued 13,333,333 common shares to acquire intellectual property, including patented technology, in connection with the compounds known as 2-bromo-LSD (Note 8(a)).

The Company evaluated this acquisition in accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations to discern whether the assets acquired met the definition of a business. The Company concluded there were not a sufficient number of key processes obtained to develop the inputs into outputs, nor could such processes be easily obtained by the Company. The intangible assets acquired were determined to be too-early stage to meet the definition of intangible asset. Accordingly, the Company accounted for this transaction as an asset acquisition.

  • (b) On August 31, 2020, the amalgamation between the Company, Altum Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Altum”), an entity with common officers and director with the Company, and 12167573 Canada Ltd., a fully-owned subsidiary of the Company, was ratified by the Canadian Securities Exchange. Upon the close of the amalgamation, Altum became a fully-owned subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the amalgamation, the Company issued 18,217,239 common shares to Altum shareholders in exchange for Altum common shares. In addition, 856,880 stock options were issued to Altum optionees and 252,595 share purchase warrants to Altum’s warrant-holders.

6. Asset Acquisitions (continued)

Pursuant to the acquisition of Altum, the Company acquired in-process research and development related to its AP-003 program, and patents related to its AP-001 and AP-002 programs (Notes 8(c), 8(d) and 8(e)).

The Company evaluated this acquisition in accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations to discern whether the assets and operations of Altum met the definition of a business. The Company concluded there were not a sufficient number of key processes obtained to develop the inputs into outputs, nor could such processes be easily obtained by the Company. Accordingly, the Company accounted for this transaction as an asset acquisition.

  • (a) In September 2019, the Company was served with a claim from Green Stream Botanicals Corp. for a finder’s fee in the amount of $600,000 in relation to non-brokered private placements totaling $15 million completed in May 2019. In July 2020, the Company settled this claim for $120,000. For the three months ended April 30, 2020 the Company recorded a settlement of legal claim of $120,000 within the condensed consolidated interim statements of comprehensive loss.

  • (b) In November 2019, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer filed an originating application with the Superior Court in the province of Quebec for damages stemming from a termination of employment. The former Chief Executive Officer is seeking payment of amounts totaling approximately $1 million, exercisability of his stock options until the original expiry dates, issuance of 600,000 stock options and an order that the Company not issue further common shares. The Company believes the claim is unfounded and intends to vigorously defend these claims. The Company has not accrued any amounts as of April 30, 2021 as management is not able to assess the likelihood and amount of payment.

  • (c) In March 2021, Olymbec Development Inc. (“Olymbec”) filed a judicial demand before the Superior Court of Québec and a judgement for a safeguard order was obtained by Olymbec Development Inc. (“Olymbec”) against Pivot, a former subsidiary, and the Company, as guarantor of the lease at 285-295 Kesmark Street, Quebec, ordering Pivot and the Company to jointly pay the full amount of the lease on the first day of each month. In May 2021, a judgement for a safeguard order was issued ordering Pivot and the Company to provide post-dated cheques for monthly lease payments for the months of June through November 2021. In June 2021, a judgement granted Pivot and the Company until June 30, 2021 to pay the outstanding lease totaling $124,223 and to deliver post-dated cheques each in the amount of $49,410.51 for monthly lease payments for the months of July through November 2021. Pursuant to the share purchase agreement that closed in December 2020 for the sale of 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Pivot (Note 5), the Company should be indemnified from any and all claims suffered by the Company in connection with and as guarantor of the lease. The Company is assessing options available to contest the judicial demand from Olymbec and mitigate its damages.

  • (d) The Company is a guarantor on the lease at 285-295 Kesmark Street in Quebec, Canada (Note 9), which was assigned together with the sale of Pivot (Note 5) pursuant to which the Company has recorded a financial guarantee liability of $182,200 based on its best estimate of potential future loss.

21. Fair Value Measurements

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are grouped into three levels of fair value hierarchy. The three levels are defined based on the observability of the significant inputs to the measurement, as follows:

  • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and,

  • Level 3: unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities.

The Company has determined the estimated fair values of its financial instruments based upon appropriate valuation methodologies. At April 30 and January 31, 2021, cash was measured and recognized in the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position using Level 1 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. At April 30 and January 31, 2021, warrant liabilities were measured and recognized in the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position at fair values that are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy above. There were no transfers between level 1, 2 and 3 inputs during the three months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020.

22. Management of Financial Risk (continued)

(b) Interest rate risk

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet is financial obligations as they come due. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure (Note 23). Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related parties are due within the current operating period.

The table below summarizes the maturity profile of the Company’s financial liabilities at April 30, 2021 based on contractual undiscounted payments:

0 – 12 Months 12 – 24 Months
$ $
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities 3,881,831
Due to related parties 584,478
Financial guarantee liability 182,200
Convertible debentures 500,000
Warrant liabilities 47,558
Loanspayable 70,344

(d) Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk of loss due to fluctuation of foreign exchange rates and the effects of these fluctuations on foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. A 5% change in exchange rates will decrease the Company’s loss by approximately $88,300. The Company does not invest in derivatives to mitigate these risks.

(e) COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has created worldwide macro-economic uncertainty and disruptions to businesses and financial markets. Many countries have been taking measures to limit the continued spread of COVID-19, including workplace closures, travel restrictions, restrictions on gatherings and closure of international borders. The pandemic and measures undertaken by countries may dramatically affect the Company’s ability to conduct its business effectively. Adverse impact to the Company may include, but is not limited to welfare and safety of personnel, ability of the Company to initiate trials for its programs, and travel and other activities essential for maintaining on-going activities. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the impact to its future results of operations, cash flows or financial conditions as there remains uncertainty surrounding the continued spread of COVID-19 and continued protective measures that must be taken. The unknown scale and duration of the pandemic have macro and micro negative effects on the financial markets and global economy which could result in an economic downturn that could affect the Company’s ability to continue raising funds needed to progress its programs and have a material adverse effect on its operations and financial results, earnings, cash flow and financial condition.
