2. Basis of preparation of financial statements

(a) Statement of compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and Interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 Interim Financial Reporting and have been prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of application as those used in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on May 10, 2021.

2. Basis of preparation of financial statements (continued)

(b) Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for contingent consideration and the investment in Sensible Medical which are measured at fair value.

On March 11, 2020, the COVID -19 outbreak was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The outbreak and efforts to contain the virus may have a significant impact on the Company’s business. The COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. A prolonged economic shutdown could result in purchase order delays or the inability to collect receivables and it is possible that in the future there will be negative impacts on the Company’s operations that could have a material adverse effect on its financial results. Although the Company has adjusted some of its operating procedures in response to COVID-19, operations have not experienced any significant negative impact to date. The extent to which the pandemic impacts future operations and financial results, and the duration of any such impact, depends on future developments, which are highly uncertain and unknown at this time.

(c) Functional and presentation currency

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company's functional currency. All financial information presented has been rounded to the nearest thousand dollar, except where indicated otherwise.

(d) Use of estimates and judgments

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

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

Areas where management has made critical judgments in the process of applying accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements include the determination and allocation of the purchase price of Marley Drug and the determination of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ functional currencies.

Information about key assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are included in the following notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020:

  • Note 3(c)(iii): The valuation of the royalty obligation

  • Note 3(e): The accruals for returns, chargebacks, rebates and discounts

  • Note 3(i): The measurement and useful lives of intangible assets

  • Note 3(o): The measurement of the amount and assessment of the recoverability of income tax assets and income tax provisions

  • Note 3(q): The measurement and valuation of intangible assets and contingent consideration acquired and recorded as business combinations.

  • Note 3(r): The incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) used in the valuation of leases.

At March 31, 2021 $ 1,117 $ 6,450 $ 313 $ 4,754 $ 12,634

In September 2019 the Company acquired ownership of ZYPITAMAG[®] for the U.S. and Canadian markets. Under terms of the agreement, Zydus received an upfront payment of U.S. $5,000 (CDN $6,622) and U.S. $2,000 (CDN $2,649) in deferred payments to be paid in equal instalments annually over the next four years, as well as contingent payments on the achievement of milestones and royalties related to net sales. The Company previously had acquired U.S. marketing rights with a profit-sharing arrangement. With this acquisition the Company obtained full control of marketing and pricing negotiation for ZYPITAMAG[®] . Upon completion of the acquisition $8,930 was recorded within patents and drug approvals relating to the upfront and deferred payments and $1,457 was transferred from licenses to patents and drug approvals pertaining to the cost of the previously acquired license over ZYPITAMAG[®] . The fair value of the remaining deferred payments of $629 and $1,146 is recorded on the statement of financial position within current portion of acquisition payable and acquisition payable, respectively. The initial amortization period pertaining to the ZYPITAMAG[®] intangible assets was 4.3 years with the remaining amortization period being 2.9 years as at March 31, 2021.

The Company had considered indicators of impairment as at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

5. Intangible assets (continued)

As at March 31, 2021 and with respect to the intangible asset related to ZYPITAMAG[®] , management calculated its fair value less costs to sell using a discounted cash flow model (Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy) based upon financial forecasts prepared by management using a discount rate of 14.09%, a cumulative aggregate growth rate of 103% over three years following the acquisition of Marley Drug with a declining growth rate going forward and a nominal terminal value. The Company has concluded that there was no impairment as a result of the analysis for the periods ended March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020 as the recoverable amount exceeded the carrying amount by approximately $301 at the high end of the reasonable range. However, the assessment identified that a reasonably possible change in the key assumption of the sales growth rate forecast results in the recoverable amount being less than the carrying value. A five percent reduction in the forecast or a one percent increase in the discount rate applied would result in the carrying value of the intangible asset exceeding the reasonable range of the recoverable amount.

As at March 31, 2021, intangible assets pertaining to AGGRASTAT[®] were fully amortized.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, amortization of intangible assets totaling $573 (2020 - $608) is recorded within cost of goods sold pertaining to the ZYPITAMAG[® ] intangible assets. In connection with the acquisition of Marley Drug, for the three months ended March 31, 2021, $227 of amortization of intangible assets is recorded within selling expenses as a result of the amortization of the intangible assets pertaining to Marley Drug.

6. Royalty obligation

On July 18, 2011, the Company settled its then existing long-term debt with Birmingham Associates Ltd. ("Birmingham"), an affiliate of Elliott Associates L.P., in exchange for i) $4,750 in cash; ii) 2,176,003 common shares of the Company; and iii) a royalty on future AGGRASTAT[®] sales until May 1, 2023. The royalty is based on 4% of the first $2,000 of quarterly AGGRASTAT[®] sales, 6% on the portion of quarterly sales between $2,000 and $4,000 and 8% on the portion of quarterly sales exceeding $4,000 payable within 60 days of the end of the preceding three-month periods ended February 28, May 31, August 31 and November 30. Birmingham has a one-time option to switch the royalty payment from AGGRASTAT[®] to a royalty on the sale of MC-1. Management determined there is no value to the option to switch the royalty to MC-1 as the product is not commercially available for sale and the extended long-term development timelines associated with commercialization of the product.

In accordance with the terms of the agreement, if the Company were to dispose of its AGGRASTAT[®] rights, the acquirer

would be required to assume the obligations under the royalty agreement.

The royalty obligation was recorded at its fair value at the date at which the liability was incurred and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method at each reporting date. This resulted in a carrying value as at March 31, 2021 of $605 (December 31, 2020 – $697) of which $326 (December 31, 2020 – $362) represents the current portion of the royalty obligation. The net change in the royalty obligation for the three months ended March 31, 2021 of $17 (2020 – $61) is recorded within finance expense (income), net on the condensed consolidated interim statements of net loss and comprehensive income (loss). Royalties for the three months ended March 31, 2021 totaled $105 (2020 – $81) with payments made of $99 during the three months ended March 31, 2021 (2020 – nil).

7. Government assistance

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded $41 (2020 - nil) in government assistance resulting from the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy. The funding has been recorded as a reduction of the related salary expenditures with $27 recorded within selling expenses, $9 recorded within general and administrative expenses and $5 recorded within research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021. As at March 31, 2021, $91 of government assistance is recorded in accounts receivable (December 31, 2020 – $85).

8. Capital Stock

(a) Authorized

The Company has authorized share capital of an unlimited number of common voting shares, an unlimited number of Class A common shares and an unlimited number of preferred shares. The preferred shares may be issued in one or more series, and the directors may fix prior to each series issued, the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached to each series of preferred shares.

(b) Shares issued and outstanding

Shares issued and outstanding are as follows:

Number of Common Shares Amount

Balance, shares outstanding March 31, 2021 10,251,313 $ 80,917

(1) On June 29, 2020, the Company announced that the TSX-V accepted the Company's notice of its intention to make a normal course issuer bid (the "2020 NCIB"). Under the terms of the 2020 NCIB, the Company may acquire up to an aggregate of 533,116 common shares, representing five percent of the common shares outstanding at the time of the application, over the twelve-month period that the 2020 NCIB will be in place. The 2020 NCIB commenced on June 30, 2020 and will end on June 29, 2021, or on such earlier date as the Company may complete its maximum purchases allowed under the 2020 NCIB.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company repurchased and cancelled 552,700 (2019 – 751,800), common shares as a result of the 2019 NCIB and 2020 NCIB. The aggregate price paid for these common shares totaled $522 (2019 - $4,145). During the year ended December 31, 2020 the Company recorded $3,925 (2019 - $1,810) directly in its deficit representing the difference between the aggregate price paid for these common shares and a reduction of the Company’s share capital totaling $4,447 (2019 - $5,955).

Compensation expense related to stock options granted during the period or from previous periods under the stock option plan for the three months ended March 31, 2021 is $52 (2020 – $77). The compensation expense was determined based on the fair value of the options at the date of measurement using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected life of stock options is based on historical data and current expectations and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility over a period similar to the life of the options is indicative of future trends, which may not necessarily be the actual outcome.

(d) Per share amounts

The following table reflects the share data used in the denominator of the basic and diluted loss per share computations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:

**Three months ended March 31 ** 2021 2020

Effects of dilution from:
Stock options - -
Warrants - -
Weighted average shares outstandingfor diluted earningsper share 10,251,313
10,804,013

Effects of dilution from 606,333 stock options were excluded in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as they are anti-dilutive. Effects of dilution from 1,394,208 stock options and 900,000 warrants were excluded in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as they are anti-dilutive.

9. Commitments and contingencies

(a) Commitments

As at March 31, 2021, and in the normal course of business, the Company has obligations to make future payments representing contracts and other commitments that are known and committed as follows:

2021 - remaining $ 1,469
2022 1,237
2023 189
2024 189
2025 -
$ 3,084

The Company has entered into a manufacturing and supply agreement to purchase a minimum quantity of AGGRASTAT[® ] unfinished product inventory totaling US$150 annually (based on current pricing) until 2024 and a minimum quantity of AGGRASTAT® finished product inventory totaling US$218 annually (based on current pricing) until 2022 and €525 annually (based on current pricing) until 2022.

Effective January 1, 2021, the Company renewed its business and administration services agreement with GVI, as described in note 10(b), under which the Company is committed to pay $7 per month or $85 per year for a one-year term.

Contracts with contract research organizations are payable over the terms of the associated agreements and clinical trials and timing of payments is largely dependent on various milestones being met, such as the number of patients recruited, number of monitoring visits conducted, the completion of certain data management activities, trial completion, and other trial related activities.

On October 31, 2017, the Company acquired an exclusive license to sell and market PREXXARTAN[®] (valsartan) oral solution in the United States and its territories with a seven-year term, with extensions to the term available, which had been granted tentative approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), and which was converted to final approval during 2017. The Company acquired the exclusive license rights for an upfront payment of US$100, with an additional US$400 payable on final FDA approval and will be obligated to pay royalties and milestone payments from the net revenues of PREXXARTAN[®] . The US$400 payment is on hold pending resolution of the dispute between the licensor and the third-party manufacturer of PREXXARTAN[® ] described in note 9(d) and is recorded within accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial position.

In December 2017, the Company acquired an exclusive license to sell and market a branded cardiovascular drug, ZYPITAMAG[®] (pitavastatin magnesium) in the United States and its territories for a term of seven years with extensions to the term available. The Company had entered into a profit-sharing arrangement resulting in a portion of the net profits from ZYPITAMAG[®] being paid to the licensor. No amounts are due and/or payable pertaining to profit sharing on this product and the profit-sharing arrangement was eliminated with the Company’s acquisition of ZYPITAMAG[®] in September 2019 as described in note 5.

(b) Guarantees

The Company periodically enters into research agreements with third parties that include indemnification provisions customary in the industry. These guarantees generally require the Company to compensate the other party for certain damages and costs incurred as a result of claims arising from research and development activities undertaken on behalf of the Company. In some cases, the maximum potential amount of future payments that could be required under these indemnification provisions could be unlimited. These indemnification provisions generally survive termination of the underlying agreement. The nature of the indemnification obligations prevents the Company from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount it could be required to pay. Historically, the Company has not made any indemnification payments under such agreements and no amount has been accrued in the consolidated financial statements with respect to these indemnification obligations.

9. Commitments and contingencies (continued)

(c) Royalties

As a part of the Birmingham debt settlement described in note 6, beginning on July 18, 2011, the Company is obligated to pay a royalty to Birmingham based on future commercial AGGRASTAT[®] sales until 2023. The royalty is based on 4% of the first $2,000 of quarterly AGGRASTAT[®] sales, 6% on the portion of quarterly sales between $2,000 and $4,000 and 8% on the portion of quarterly sales exceeding $4,000 payable within 60 days of the end of the preceding three-month periods ended February 28, May 31, August 31 and November 30. Birmingham has a one-time option to switch the royalty payment from AGGRASTAT[®] to a royalty on the sale of MC-1. Management has determined there is no value to the option to switch the royalty to MC-1 as the product is not commercially available for sale and the extended long-term development timeline associated with commercialization of the product. Royalties for the three months ended March 31, 2021 totaled $105 (2020 – $81) with payments made of $99 during the three months ended March 31, 2021 (2020 – nil).

Beginning with the acquisition of ZYPITAMAG[®] (note 5), completed on September 30, 2019, the Company is obligated to pay royalties to Zydus subsequent to the acquisition date on net sales of ZYPITAMAG[®] . During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded $5 (2020 - $5) in royalties in regards to ZYPITAMAG[®] which is recorded within cost of goods sold on the condensed consolidated interim statement of net loss and comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and within accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position as at March 31, 2021.

The Company is obligated to pay royalties on any future net sales of PREXXARTAN[®] to the licensor of PREXXARTAN[®] . To date, no royalties are due and/or payable.

(d) Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company may from time to time be subject to various claims or possible claims. Although management currently believes there are no claims or possible claims that if resolved would either individually or collectively result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, these matters are inherently uncertain and management’s view of these matters may change in the future.

During 2018, the Company was named in a civil claim in Florida from the third-party manufacturer of PREXXARTAN[®] against the licensor. The claim disputed the rights granted by the licensor to the Company with respect to PREXXARTAN[®] . The claim against the Company has since been withdrawn, however the dispute between the licensor and the third-party manufacturer continues.

On September 10, 2015, the Company submitted a supplemental New Drug Application (“sNDA”) to the FDA to expand the label for AGGRASTAT[®] . The label change is being reviewed and evaluated based substantially on data from published studies. If the label change submission were to be successful, the Company will be obligated to pay €300 over the course of a three-year period in equal quarterly instalments following approval. On July 7, 2016, the Company announced it received a Complete Response Letter stating the sNDA cannot be approved in its present form and requested additional information. The payments are contingent upon the success of the filing and as such the Company has not recorded any amount in the consolidated statements of net (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income pertaining to this contingent liability.

During 2015, the Company began a development project of a cardiovascular generic drug in collaboration with Apicore. The Company has entered into a supply and development agreement under which the Company holds all commercial rights to the drug. In connection with this project, the Company is obligated to pay Apicore 50% of net profit from the sale of this drug. On August 13, 2018, the Company announced that the FDA has approved its ANDA for SNP, a generic intravenous cardiovascular product and the product became available commercially during the third quarter of 2019. To date, no amounts are due and/or payable pertaining to profit sharing on this product.
