Consolidated Financial Statements (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

WAVERLEY PHARMA INC.

Year ended December 31, 2020

Independent auditor’s report

To the Shareholders of Waverley Pharma Inc.

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Waverley Pharma Inc. [the ”Company”], which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2020, and the consolidated statement of net loss and comprehensive loss, consolidated statement of changes in equity (deficit) and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2020, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards [“IFRSs”].

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Material uncertainty related to going concern

We draw attention to note 2(c) in the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that the Company incurred a net loss of $705,763 during the year ended December 31, 2020 and, as of that date, the Company has a deficit of $5,710,513 and that the Company is dependent on financing provided by external sources to continue as a going concern. As stated in note 2(c), these events or conditions, along with other matters set forth in note 2(c), indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt in the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Other matter

The consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2019 were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those consolidated financial statements on May 11, 2020.

Other information

Other information consists of the information included in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, other than the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Management is responsible for the other information.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information, and in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact in this auditor’s report. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRSs, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Ashraf El-Bakri.

Waverley Pharma Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (expressed in Canadian dollars)

==> picture [137 x 54] intentionally omitted <==

1. Reporting entity:

Waverley Pharma Inc. (“ Waverley ” or the “ Company ”) was incorporated as Buffalo Capital Inc. (“ Buffalo ”) pursuant to the provisions of the Canada Business Corporations Act (“ CBCA ”) on December 14, 2016 and was classified as a Capital Pool Corporation (“ CPC ”) as defined by Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “ Exchange ”). On October 24, 2017, the Company completed a qualifying transaction (the “ QT ”) with Waverley Pharma Inc. and the name continued as Waverley Pharma Inc in accordance with the CBCA.

The Company is domiciled and incorporated in Canada and its Common Shares are listed on Tier 2 of the Exchange under the symbol “WAVE”. The address of the Company’s registered office and head office is 4-1250 Waverley Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, R3T 6C6.

The Company is a biopharmaceutical company engaged in the research, development and commercialization of human therapeutics focused on oncology. Through its wholly owned Barbadian subsidiary, Waverley Pharma International Inc. (“ WPII ”), the Company has entered into a license, manufacture, supply, marketing and distribution agreement with Reliance Life Sciences Private Limited (“ RLS ” or the “ Licensor ”) by which the Licensor granted the Company an exclusive territorial license to market and sell capecitabine in the United Kingdom (the “ UK ”) and Germany as well as a non-exclusive territorial license to market and sell temozolomide and erlotinib in the UK. Additionally, the Company has acquired exclusive territorial licenses from RLS to two oncologic drugs currently under development, pemetrexed (formerly known as WAV-101) and WAV102 in the United States and its territories (the “ USA ”), Canada, and the European Union (the “ EU ”). In addition, the Company has obtained a non-exclusive license to sell both pemetrexed and WAV-102 in the UK. These products are marketed in the EU and the UK through the Company’s wholly owned Irish subsidiary, Waverley Pharma Europe Limited (“ WPEL ”).

2. Basis of preparation:

(a) Statement of compliance

These consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, have been 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 ”).

The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on April 26, 2021.

(b) Basis of presentation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss (“ FVTPL ”) are measured at fair value.

(c) Going concern

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the payment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be unable to realize the carrying value of its assets and meet its liabilities as they become due.

The Company is a research and development stage company and as such is primarily dependent on financing provided from external sources to continue as a going concern. Management intends to raise capital in order to fund its operations, however, the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time. In addition, there is uncertainty surrounding the potential impacts of COVID-19 on the Company and its subsidiaries. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in uncertainties surrounding the shipment of products, fluctuations of foreign exchange, and delays in collections on accounts. Due to the preventive measures taken by the UK and EU with respect to preventing the spread of the virus, the Company is unable, at this time, to assess the future impact of COVID-19 on the Company and its subsidiaries’ operations. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $705,763 (2019 - $1,214,778), with cash used in operating activities of $361,705 (2019 - $1,412,845) and, as at December 31, 2020, has a deficit of $5,710,513 (2019 - $5,004,750).

2. Basis of preparation (continued):

(c) Going concern (continued)

The above noted events and conditions indicate that material uncertainties exist that may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In the future, the Company's ability to continue as a going concern will be dependent upon its ability to attain profitable operations and generate funds there from, and to continue to obtain funds from equity financings or borrowings from third parties sufficient to meet current and future obligations and/or restructure the existing liabilities. These consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments or reclassification of assets and liabilities which would be necessary if the Company were unable to continue its operations.

(d) Functional and presentation currency

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

(e) Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses during the period.

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 in which 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 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(e): Estimates of variable consideration receivable from revenue from contracts with customers

  • Note 3(g): Estimates of the measurement and valuation of inventory

  • Note 3(h): Estimates of the measurement, valuation and period of use of intangible assets

  • Note 3(l): Estimates and assessment of the recoverability of unused tax losses and deductible temporary differences

  • Note 3(n): Estimates regarding assumptions used to estimate the value of share-based payment transactions and warrants

3. Significant accounting policies:

(a) Basis of Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities that are controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has power over the investee and the Company is exposed or has the rights to variable returns from the investee. Subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial results of the Company from the effective date of acquisition up to the effective date of disposition or loss of control and include wholly owned subsidiaries, WPII (Barbados) and WPEL (Ireland). The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent account policies. All intercompany transactions and balances and unrealized gains and losses from intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Waverley Pharma Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (expressed in Canadian dollars)

==> picture [137 x 54] intentionally omitted <==

3. Significant accounting policies (continued):

(b) Foreign currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the subsidiary operates (the functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency. The functional currency of WPII is the United States dollar (“ USD ”), and the functional currency of WPEL is the British Pound ( “GBP” ) based on the nature of each subsidiary’s operating activities.

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the respective functional currencies of the Company and its subsidiaries using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in profit and loss. Non-monetary items that are not carried at fair value are translated using the exchange rates as at the date of the initial transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined.

(c) Financial instruments

(i) Financial assets

The Company initially recognizes a financial asset on the trade date at which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Upon recognition of a financial asset, classification is made based on the business model for managing the asset and the asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics. The financial asset is initially recognized at its fair value and subsequently classified and measured as (i) amortized cost; (ii) fair value through other comprehensive income (“ FVOCI ”); or (iii) FVTPL. Financial assets are classified as FVTPL if they have not been classified as measured at amortized cost or FVOCI. Upon initial recognition of an equity instrument that is not held-for-trading, the Company may irrevocably designate the presentation of subsequent changes in the fair value of such equity instrument as FVTPL.

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the consolidated statements of financial position when, and only when, the Company has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

The Company has classified all of its non-derivative financial assets as financial assets measured at amortized cost. The Company has not classified any financial assets as FVOCI or FVTPL.

Financial assets measured at amortized cost

A non-derivative financial asset is measured at amortized cost when both of the following conditions are met: (i) the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect the contractual cash flows; and (ii) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Such assets are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs and measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost. Financial assets measured at amortized cost are comprised of cash and accounts receivable.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued):

(c) Financial instruments (continued)

(ii) Financial liabilities

All financial liabilities are recognized initially on the trade date at which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Such financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. All financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, except for financial liabilities measured at FVTPL. A financial liability may no longer be reclassified subsequent to initial recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or when they expire.

The Company has the following non-derivative financial liabilities which are classified as financial liabilities measured at amortized cost: accounts payable and accrued liabilities and license fee payable.

(d) Impairment of financial assets

An “expected credit loss” impairment model applies to financial assets, specifically trade receivables, which requires a loss allowance to be recorded on financial assets measured at amortized cost based on their expected credit losses. For trade receivables, the Company applies a simplified approach in calculating expected credit losses. Therefore, the Company does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime expected credit losses at each reporting date. The Company tracks its experience with historical credit losses and factors in any forwardlooking relevant information specific to its customers or the economic environment.

(e) Revenue from contracts with customers

The Company is in the business of providing human therapeutics with a focus on oncology. The Company holds tenders (each a “ Tender ”) from the UK National Health Service (the “ UK NHS ”) by which the Company supplies capecitabine, temozolomide and erlotinib to the UK NHS as agreed upon in the respective Tender. The Company has entered into a logistics and distribution agreement with a third-party wholesaler (the “ Wholesaler ”). Revenue from the sale of finished products is recognized upon removal of the goods from inventory to be distributed to the end-customer, the point in time in which title and control of the goods pass from the Company to the Wholesaler.

Revenue from product sales is measured at the amount as awarded in the corresponding Tender in which the sale occurs. The Company measures revenue at the amount in which it expects to be entitled to for providing finished products to the Wholesaler. The Company includes variable consideration in the transaction price to extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved, using the most likely amount technique. Product sales do not contain an element of financing as sales are made with a credit term of one month subsequent to the issuance of the invoice, which is consistent with market practice.

(f) Cash equivalents

The Company considers all liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less at acquisition to be cash and cash equivalents, which are considered financial assets measured at amortized cost.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued):

(g) Inventory

The Company’s inventory consists of finished commercial product which is available for sale and measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value.

The cost of inventory is based on the first-in first-out principle and includes expenditures incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to the existing location and condition.

Inventory is written down to net realizable value when the cost of inventory is estimated to be unrecoverable due to obsolescence, damage, or declining selling prices. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less selling expenses. When the circumstances that previously caused inventories to be written down below cost no longer exist, or when there is clear evidence of an increase in selling prices, the amount of the write-down previously recorded is reversed.

(h) Intangible assets

Intangible assets that are acquired separately are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Subsequent expenditures are capitalized only when they increase the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which they relate. All other expenditures are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Licenses are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term in which the license has been granted.

Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of servicing the Company’s intangible assets are expensed as incurred.

The amortization method and amortization period of an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least annually. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates in the consolidated statements of net loss and comprehensive loss.

(i) Research and development

Research and development expenses include all direct and indirect operating expenses supporting the products in development.

Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Development activities involve a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes. Development expenditures are capitalized only if the associated costs can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Company intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset. The Company has not capitalized any development costs to date.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued):

(j) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company assesses at each reporting period whether there is an indication that a non-financial asset may be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset, or its cash generating unit (“ CGU ”), exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in net loss and comprehensive loss and included in research and development expense if they relate to patents. A CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset's or CGU's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. In determining fair value less cost to sell, an appropriate valuation model is used. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs.

Impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

(k) Government assistance

Government assistance is recognized at fair value when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all conditions will be complied with. Government assistance is recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the related expenses are incurred. Government assistance that becomes receivable for previously incurred expenses is recognized in profit or loss in the period in which it becomes receivable.

(l) Income taxes

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred taxes. Current taxes and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive loss.

Current taxes are the expected tax receivable or payable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax receivable or payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred taxes are recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred taxes are not recognized for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

In addition, deferred taxes are not recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred taxes are measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.

A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued):

(m) Earnings per share

The Company presents basic earnings per share (" EPS ") data for its common voting shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to common voting shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common voting shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the Company's own shares held. Diluted EPS is computed similar to basic EPS except that the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares for the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, if dilutive. The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding stock options and warrants were exercised and that the proceeds from such exercise were used to acquire common shares at the average market price during the reporting periods.

(n) Share-based payments

Where equity instruments are issued and some or all of the goods or services received by the Company as consideration cannot be specifically identified, these non-identifiable goods or services are measured as the difference between the fair value of the share-based payment and the fair value of any identifiable goods or services received at the grant date.

Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date.

The fair value of the equity instruments granted is recognized as an expense over the estimated vesting period with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus.

Non-market vesting conditions are taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments included in the measurement of the transaction. The estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest is revised if subsequent information indicates that the number of equity instruments expected to vest differs from previous estimates. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognized in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense and contributed surplus reflects the revised estimate.

Market and non-vesting conditions are taken into account when estimating the fair value of the equity instruments granted and therefore the expense is recognized irrespective of whether or not the market condition is satisfied, provided that all other vesting conditions are satisfied.

(o) Leases

The leases for which the Company has entered into are considered low valued leases, with an expected lease term ending within twelve (12) months of the current reporting period. The low valued leases are expensed on a straight-line basis over their remaining lease term, which was determined to be the most representative method to recognize the benefit obtained from the low valued leases.

(p) New standard not yet adopted

Amendments to International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 1 – presentation of financial statements:

In January 2020, the IAS issued an amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements that clarifies the criterion for classifying a liability as non-current relating to the right to defer settlement of a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. The amendment applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The Company does not expect the amendments to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

As at December 31, 2020 and 2019, there was one customer with amounts owing greater than 10% of the Company’s trade accounts receivable which comprised the entire balance.

5. Inventory

Inventory consists of finished product available for sale to customers. Inventory expensed as part of cost of goods sold during the year ended December 31, 2020 totaled $1,193,399 (2019 – $1,108,339).

6. Intangible assets:

Cost Licenses
Balance,December 31,2018 $1,909,880
Acquisitions 36,189
Effects of movements in exchange rates (91,560)
Balance, December 31, 2019 $ 1,854,509
Amortization (8,172)
Effects of movements in exchange rates (36,265)
Balance, December 31, 2020 $ 1,810,072

On August 30, 2017, the Company acquired exclusive territorial licenses from RLS to sell and market two generic cancer drugs in the USA, Canada and the EU (excluding the UK where a non-exclusive territorial license was acquired). As at December 31, 2020, the products these licenses relate to were still underdevelopment and were not commercialized. Therefore, the Company did not realize any amortization expense relating to these intangible licenses for the year ended 2020 or 2019. The value of these licenses on the Company’s balance sheet as at December 31, 2020 is US $1,400,000.

On December 17, 2019, the Company acquired the rights to market erlotinib in the United Kingdom. The Company began selling the product during May 2020, and subsequently began amortizing the license on a straight -line basis over three years. The amortization expense is included in research and development expense on the consolidated statements of net loss and comprehensive loss.

The Company performed impairment testing on the intangible assets as at December 31, 2020 and 2019. The impairment analysis performed used a 15% discount rate on future cash flows expected to be generated by the products related to the intangible assets. The Company concluded that there were no indicators of impairment as the discounted fair value, or recoverable amount, of the intangible assets was greater than their carrying value. The recoverable amount of each intangible asset included in the analysis was determined using the fair value less costs of disposal method. As a result, the Company did not record an impairment charge in either the year ended December 31, 2020 or 2019.

7. Capital stock:

(a) Authorized

The Company has authorized share capital of an unlimited number of common voting shares.

Balance, December 31, 2020 54,000,000 $ 7,000,100

(c) Stock option plan

The Company has an incentive stock option plan whereby the Company may grant to directors, officers, employees and contractors incentive stock options (the “ options ”) to purchase voting common shares of the Company. The terms and conditions of each option granted under the stock option plan are determined by the Board of Directors. The number of common shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options is limited to a maximum of 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company at any time.

The fair value of the options issued during the year ended December 31, 2020 was estimated using the following BlackScholes Model assumptions:

Expected life 5 years
Expected volatility 55.00%
Risk free rate 1.29%
Dividend yield -
Underlying share price $0.10
Strikeprice $0.10

Expected volatility was estimated by reference to comparable listed entities. Stock-based compensation expense (recovery) for the year ended December 31, 2020 totaled $(16,401) (2019 – $146,816) was recorded in general and administrative expenses during the period. 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. Any recoveries recorded through stockbased compensation was based on forfeiture of stock options previously issued, that had not vested by the date of forfeiture. 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.

Changes in the number of options outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

Year ended December 31 2020 2019

13. Financial instruments:

(a) Financial assets and liabilities

Set out below is a comparison by class of the carrying amounts and fair value of the Company's financial instruments that are carried in the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2020 and 2019:

December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019

Long-term loan payable 40,000 40,000 - -

IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement , establishes a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in measuring fair value. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

  • 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 either directly or indirectly observable;

  • Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

The fair value hierarchy of financial instruments measured at fair value on the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2020 is as follows:

Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Financial Liabilities
Long-term loanpayable - - 40,000

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements.

13. Financial instruments:

(b) Risks arising from financial instruments and risk management

The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks; market risk (including foreign exchange and interest rate risks), credit risk and liquidity risk. Risk management is the responsibility of the Company, which identifies, evaluates and, where appropriate, mitigates financial risks.

(i) Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and price risk with respect to equity prices.

(a) Interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company has cash and no interest-bearing debt and is not subject to significant interest rate risk.

(b) Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows for financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to currency risks through the following USD and GBP denominated financial assets and liabilities:

13. Financial instruments (continued):

  • (b) Risks arising from financial instruments and risk management (continued)

(ii) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a partner or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligation and arises principally from the Company’s cash and accounts receivable. The carrying amounts of the financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.

The Company will limit its exposure to credit risk on cash by placing these financial instruments with high-credit quality financial institutions and the Company believes it has no significant credit risk regarding cash.

The Company is subject to a concentration of credit risk related to its trade accounts receivable as 100% of the balance of amounts owing is from one customer. As at December 31, 2020 none of the outstanding trade accounts receivable were outside of the normal payment terms and the Company did not record any bad debt expenses in the year ended December 31, 2020 (2019 – 158,212). During 2019, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company recorded a bad debt expense of $158,212 in relation to the profit share arrangement. During 2020, the Company recovered $107,211 of this amount and recorded the recovery of bad debt expense in selling, general and administration expenses.

(iii) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. In the current year, the Company’s interest income decreased due to a decreased cash balance at December 31, 2020 in comparison to the prior year. Although the decreases in both cash and interest income in the current year, the Company manages its liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecasted and actual cash flows, as well as anticipated investing and financing activities and to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due and to fund future operations.

The Company’s accounts payable and accrued liabilities and license fee payable are due within the current operating period.

(c) Capital management

The Company defines its capital as cash and equity. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support its business. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future development of the business. Additional funds may be required to advance the Company’s business.

Management reviews its capital management approach on an on-going basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.

14. Determination of fair value:

A number of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following models. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

(a) Intangible assets

For the purposes of impairment testing, the fair value of intangible assets is based on the discounted cash flows expected to be derived from the use or eventual sale of the assets.

(b) Share-based payment transactions

Upon initial recognition, the fair value of options is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Measurement inputs include share price on measurement date, exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility (based on comparable listed entities), expected life of the instruments, expected dividends and the risk-free interest rate (based on government bond yields). Service and non-market performance conditions attached to the transactions are not taken into account in determining fair value.

15. Segmented information:

The Company operates in one business segment, the biopharmaceutical industry. The Company’s intangible assets are located in Barbados. All of the Company’s revenue was generated from product sales within the UK, with one customer accounting for 100% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020.
