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 August 26, 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 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.

On September 30, 2019 the Company acquired ownership of ZYPITAMAG[TM] 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[TM] . 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[TM] . The fair value of the deferred payments of $620 and $1,156 is recorded on the statement of financial position within current portion of acquisition payable and acquisition payable, respectively, as at June 30, 2021.

5. Intangible assets (continued)

The Company had considered indicators of impairment as at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company does not feel there is any impairment of the asset at this time.

As at June 30, 2021, intangible assets pertaining to AGGRASTAT[®] were fully amortized.

For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021, amortization of intangible assets totaling $556 and $1,129 (2020 - $627 and $1,236) is recorded within cost of goods sold pertaining to the ZYPITAMAG[®] intangible asset. In connection with the acquisition of Marley Drug, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021, $219 and $446 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, estimated to be $902, and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method at each reporting date. This resulted in a carrying value as at June 30, 2021 of $487 (December 31, 2020 – $697) of which $281 (December 31, 2020 – $362) represents the current portion of the royalty obligation.

The net change in the royalty obligation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 of $16 and $33, respectively, (2020 – recoveries of $446 and $385) are recorded within finance expense (income), net on the condensed consolidated interim statements of net loss and comprehensive loss. Royalties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 totaled $126 and $231, respectively, (2020 – $102 and $212) with payments made during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 of $123 and $219, respectively (2020 – $326 and $326).

Compensation expense related to stock options granted during the period or from previous periods under the stock option plan for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 is $48 and $100, respectively (2020 – $97 and $174). 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) earnings per share computations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

Three months Three months Six months Six months

Effects of dilution from 1,145,608 stock options were excluded in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for diluted income per share for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as the share price associated with these dilutive instruments are above the market price at the end of the period. Effects of dilution from 1,268,933 stock options were excluded in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for diluted loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as they are anti-dilutive. Effects of dilution from 1,190,908 stock options and 900,000 warrants were excluded in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for diluted income per share for the three months ended June 30, 2020 as the share price associated with these dilutive instruments are above the market price at the end of the period. Effects of dilution from 1,375,908 stock options and 900,000 warrants were excluded in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for diluted loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2020 as they are antidilutive.

As at June 30, 2021, $81 of government assistance is recorded in accounts receivable (December 31, 2020 - $85).

9. Commitments and contingencies

(a) Commitments

As at June 30, 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 749
2022 1,231
2023 186
2024 186
2025 -
$ 2,352

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 Genesys Venture Inc. (“GVI”), as described in note 11(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 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. The licensor of PREXXARTAN has been unable to provide the product for sale to the Company and after a lengthy suspension by the Company, the Company has terminated its license. The Company has derecognized the liability associated with PREXXARTAN and has included this amount in other income in the current quarter.

9. Commitments and contingencies (continued)

(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 condensed consolidated interim financial statements with respect to these indemnification obligations.

(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 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 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 and six months ended June 30, 2021 totaled $126 and $231, respectively, (2020 – $102 and $212) with payments made during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 of $123 and $219, respectively (2020 – $326 and $326).

Beginning with the acquisition of ZYPITAMAG[TM] (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[TM] . During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded $5 and $10, respectively, (2020 - $3 and $8) in royalties with regard to ZYPITAMAG[TM] . These amounts are recorded within cost of goods sold on the condensed consolidated interim statement of net (loss) income and comprehensive income and within accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position as at June 30, 2021.

(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.

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 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 condensed consolidated interim statements of net (loss) income and comprehensive loss 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.

As well, the purchase agreement included contingent consideration of additional payments to the seller based on the achievement of certain future performance targets of Marley Drug. The first contingent consideration (“One Year Payment”) is based on a one-year revenue target up to USD$1.7 million based on Marley Drug’s historical revenues. The second contingent consideration (“Earn Out Payments”) is based on certain revenue milestone targets over a two-year period within Marley Drug. The contingent consideration period commences on the successful transfer of all licenses, unless it is triggered early by the seller. The One-Year Payment has been recorded within current portion of contingent consideration on the statement of financial position with an estimated fair value of $1,922. The Earn Out Payments have been recorded within contingent consideration on the statement of financial position with an estimated fair value of $51. The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated using probability weighted scenarios and a discount rate of 12%.

During 2021, the PPP loan was forgiven and the restricted cash and holdback payable of $353 was released to the seller in the transaction. As a result of the 90-day working capital adjustment, the total purchase price was reduced by $131 and removed from holdback payable. Of the amounts held back, an additional $372 has been released to the seller.
