LEXARIA BIOSCIENCE CORP.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

May 31, 2024

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars Except Share Amounts) 

(Unaudited)

 

1. Nature of Business

 

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (“Lexaria”, “we”, “our” or “the Company”) is a biotechnology company pursuing the enhancement of the bioavailability of a diverse and broad range of active pharmaceutical ingredients (“API”) using DehydraTECHTM, our patented proprietary drug delivery technology.

 

Revenues are generated from licensing contracts for the Company’s patented DehydraTECH technology based on the terms of use and defined geographic and licensing arrangements. We derive income from our third party contracted manufacturing of B2B DehydraTECH enhanced products made to customer specifications that are sold online and in-store in the US and Canada. We also perform contract services in R&D for customer specific formulations that are used in comparison testing to customers’ existing products.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) applicable to a going concern, which assumes the Company will have sufficient funds to meet its financial obligations for a period of at least 12 months from the date of this report.

 

Since inception, the Company has incurred significant operating and net losses. Net losses attributable to shareholders were $3.6 million and $5.5 million for the nine-months ended May 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. As of May 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $49.4 million. We expect to continue to incur significant operational expenses and net losses in the upcoming 12 months. Our net losses may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year, depending on the stage and complexity of our research and development (R&D) studies and corporate expenditures, additional revenues received from the licensing of our technology, if any, and the receipt of payments under any current or future collaborations we may enter into. The recurring losses and negative net cash flows raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

During the nine-months ended May 31, 2024, the Company has completed the following:

 

 

·

Entered into Securities Purchase Agreements whereby on February 16, 2024, the Company issued 1,444,741 shares of common stock and 113,702 pre-funded warrants in a registered direct offering. The Company also sold to investors, warrants to purchase up to 1,558,443 shares of common stock. The combined effective offering price for each share of common stock and accompanying warrant was $2.31. The warrants will expire five years from the issuance date, and have an exercise price of $2.185 per share. The Company also agreed to partially compensate the placement agent through the issuance of warrants to purchase up to 54,546 shares of common stock. The warrants will expire five years from the issuance date, and have an exercise price of $2.8875 per share. The net proceeds to the Company from the registered direct offering was $3.0 million, after deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses paid by the Company.

 

 

 

 

·

Entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement whereby on October 3, 2023, the Company issued, to a single healthcare-focused institutional investor, 889,272 shares of common stock and 729,058 pre-funded warrants in a registered direct offering. In a concurrent private placement, the Company also agreed to issue and sell to the investor, warrants to purchase up to 1,618,330 shares of common stock. The combined effective offering price for each share of common stock (or pre-funded warrant in lieu thereof) and accompanying warrant was $0.97 (to note the pre-funded warrants were issued at a price of $0.9699 and have an exercise price of $0.0001). The warrants will become exercisable six months from issuance, expire five and a half years from the issuance date, and have an exercise price of $0.97 per share. The net proceeds to the Company from the registered direct offering and concurrent private placement totaled $1.25 million, after deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company. To date all of the pre-funded warrants have been exercised, resulting in the issuance by the Company of an aggregate 729,058 common shares for gross proceeds of $73.

·

Issued common shares pursuant to the exercise of the following warrants:

 

 

o

1,622,250 common shares pursuant to the exercise of warrants that were issued under our May 11, 2023, financing, at an exercise price of $0.95 per share for gross proceeds of $1,541,137;

 

o

1,618,330 common shares pursuant to the exercise of warrants that were issued under our October 3, 2023, financing, at an exercise price of $0.97 per share for gross proceeds of $1,569,780;

 

o

729,058 common shares pursuant to the exercise of pre-funded warrants that were issued under our October 3, 2023, financing, at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share for gross proceeds of $73 dollars;

 

o

1,298,702 common shares pursuant to the exercise of warrants that were issued under our February 16, 2024, financing, at an exercise price of $2.185 per share for gross proceeds of $2,837,664; and

 

o

113,702 common shares pursuant to the exercise of pre-funded warrants that were issued under our February 16, 2024, financing, at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share for gross proceeds of $11 dollars.

 

We may offer securities in response to market conditions or other circumstances if we believe such a plan of financing is required to advance the Company’s business plans. There is no certainty that future equity or debt financing will be available or that it will be at acceptable terms and the outcome of these matters is unpredictable. A lack of adequate funding may force us to reduce spending, curtail or suspend planned programs or possibly liquidate assets. Any of these actions could adversely and materially affect our business, cash flow, financial condition, results of operations, and potential prospects. The sale of additional equity may result in additional dilution to our stockholders. Entering into additional licensing agreements, collaborations, partnerships, alliances marketing, distribution, or licensing arrangements with third parties to increase our capital resources is also possible. If we do so, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.

 

Based on existing cash resources, management believes that current funding will be sufficient to meet the Company’s financial obligations for a period of at least twelve months from the date of this report. In making this assessment, the Company believes that this alleviates any substantial doubt in connection with the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

 

The significant accounting policies of the Company are consistent with those of our audited financial statements on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2023.

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries; Lexaria CanPharm ULC, Lexaria CanPharm Holding Corp., PoViva Corp., Lexaria Hemp Corp., Kelowna Management Services Corp., Lexaria Nutraceutical Corp., and Lexaria Pharmaceutical Corp., and our 83.333% owned subsidiary Lexaria Nicotine LLC with the remaining 16.667% owned by Altria Ventures Inc. an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Altria Group, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Table of Contents

 

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company’s unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or for any subsequent period.

 

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated annual financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2023.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash-on-hand and demand deposits with financial institutions and other short-term investments with maturities of less than three months when acquired and readily convertible to known cash amounts. The Company had no cash equivalents as of May 31, 2024, or May 31, 2023.

 

Marketable Securities

 

The Company’s marketable securities consist of investments in common stock. Investments in equity securities are reported at fair value with changes in unrecognized gains or losses included in other income (loss) on the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Leases

 

The Company accounts for its leases under ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). Under this guidance, arrangements meeting the definition of a lease are classified as operating or financing leases and are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as both a right-of-use asset and lease liability.

 

We determined the initial classification and measurement of our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement date and thereafter if modified. The lease term includes any renewal options and termination options that we are reasonably certain to exercise. The present value of lease payments is determined by using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate is readily determinable; otherwise, we use our incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is determined by using the rate of interest that we would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis an amount equal to the lease payments for a similar term and in a similar economic environment.

 

Operating lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis, unless the right-of-use asset has been impaired, over the reasonably certain lease term based on the total lease payments. They are included in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

For operating leases that reflect impairment, we will recognize the amortization of the right-of-use asset on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term with rent expense still included in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. For all leases, rent payments that are based on a fixed index or rate at the lease commencement date are included in the measurement of lease assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement date.

 

We have elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components. Our non-lease components are primarily related to property taxes and maintenance, which vary based on future outcomes, and thus differences to original estimates are recognized in rent expense when incurred.

 

Intellectual Property

 

Capitalized intellectual property costs include those incurred with respect to both pending and granted patents filed in the United States. When patent applications are filed, the directly related capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated economic life of 20 years.

Table of Contents

 

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment and depreciated using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the various asset classes. Laboratory and computer equipment and office furniture are depreciated over 3-10 years. Certain production equipment is depreciated by units of production method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the related leases, or the economic life of the improvements, whichever is shorter.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets, including equipment and intangible assets, namely the Company’s patents, are assessed for potential impairment when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Any required impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value and is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset and a charge to the profit or loss. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment annually and in interim periods if certain events occur indicating that the carrying value of the intangible assets may be impaired.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Licensing revenue from intellectual property

 

Our revenues from licenses that grant the right to access our intellectual property, which we consider symbolic licenses of IP, are recognized over time following the transfer and use of our patented infusion technology DehydraTECH. Royalty revenues are recognized in the period in which our licensees sell the related products and recognize the related revenue.

 

Usage fees from intellectual property

 

We recognize usage fees from B2B clients in the period in which the counterparty completes the manufacturing which incorporates DehydraTECH enabled APIs into the related product. We generally recognize revenue when we have satisfied all contractual obligations and are reasonably assured of collecting the resulting receivable. Non-refundable minimum fees are recognized as revenue over the period to which they apply.

 

Product revenue

 

We generally recognize revenue when we have satisfied all contractual obligations and are reasonably assured of collecting the resulting receivable. We are often entitled to bill our customers and receive payment from our customers in advance of recognizing the revenue.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales includes all expenditures incurred in bringing the goods to the point of sale This includes third-party manufacturing and handling costs, direct costs of the raw material, inbound freight charges, warehousing costs, and applicable overhead expenses.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. These expenditures are comprised of both in-house research programs and through third-party contracts including clinical research organizations, consultants, academic and non-profit institutions, contract manufacturing, and other expenses.

Table of Contents

 

 

Intellectual Property Expenses

 

Non-capitalizable costs associated with intellectual property-related matters are expensed as incurred and included in general and administrative expenses within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation awards whereby all stock-based grants are recognized as expenses in the consolidated statements of operations based on the fair value at grant date subject to vesting dates and amortized over the related vesting period. The grant date fair value of each option award is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the common stock consistent with the expected life of the option, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yields of the common stock.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The Company has foreign operations whose functional currency is the local currency. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars, the reporting currency, at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Foreign currency translation adjustments resulting from this process are reported as an element of other comprehensive income (loss) on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Transactions executed in different currencies are translated at spot rates and resulting foreign exchange transaction gains and losses are charged to income.

 

Loss Per Share

 

The calculation of loss per share uses the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net income per share includes the effect, if any, from the potential exercise or conversion of securities, such as restricted stock and stock options, which would result in the issuance of incremental shares of common stock. Diluted loss per share is equivalent to basic loss per share if the potential exercise of the equity-based financial instruments is anti-dilutive.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount whose realization is more likely than not.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

When measuring fair value, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. This establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Inputs are prioritized into three levels used to measure fair value:

 

 

·

Level 1 - Quoted prices 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; and

 

 

 

 

·

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

 

 
11

Table of Contents

 

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable and payable as well as accrued liabilities. The carrying amounts of instruments approximate their fair values due to their short maturities or quoted market prices.

 

The Company’s headquarters and operations are located in Canada which results in exposure to market risks from fluctuations in foreign currency rates. The foreign currency exchange risk is the financial risk to the Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk as the impact of rate changes for USD or CAD dollars is not expected to be material.

Credit Risk and Customer Concentration

 

The Company places its cash with a high credit quality financial institution. Periodically, the Company may carry cash balances at such financial institution in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes, based upon the quality of the financial institution, that the credit risk with regard to these deposits is not significant.

 

In the nine-months ended May 31, 2024, two customers accounted for 98% of consolidated revenues. In the nine-months ended May 31, 2023, four customers accounted for 88% of consolidated revenues.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company’s policy is to record accruals for any such loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. In the event that estimates or assumptions prove to differ from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information. The Company, from time to time, may be subject to legal claims and proceedings related to matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Management has no knowledge of any such material claim against the Company with, at minimum, a reasonable possibility that a material loss may be incurred.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the prior period have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.

 

Estimates and Judgments

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the fiscal period. Some of the Company’s accounting policies require us to make subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. These accounting policies involve critical accounting estimates because they are particularly dependent on estimates and assumptions made by management about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimates are made. Although we have used our best estimates based on facts and circumstances available to us at the time, different estimates reasonably could have been used. Changes in the accounting estimates used by the Company are reasonably likely to occur from time to time, which may have a material effect on the presentation of financial condition and results of operations.

 

Management reviews our estimates, judgments, and assumptions periodically and reflects the effects of any revisions in the period in which they are deemed to be necessary. We believe that these estimates are reasonable. However, actual results could differ from these estimates.

3. Recent Accounting Guidance

 

Recently Adopted Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This Accounting Standards Update represents a significant change in the accounting for credit losses model by requiring immediate recognition of management’s estimates of current expected credit losses (CECL). Under the prior model, losses were recognized only as they were incurred. The Company has determined that it has met the criteria of a smaller reporting company ("SRC") as of November 15, 2019. As such, ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Derivatives and Hedging, and Leases: Effective Dates amended the effective date for the Company to be for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective September 1, 2023, and determined that its impact on the accompanying consolidated financial statements is immaterial.

 

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

 

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02-Codification Improvements-Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements, that contains amendments to the Codification that remove references to various FASB Concepts Statements. This effort facilitates Codification updates for technical corrections such as conforming amendments, clarifications to guidance, simplifications to wording or the structure of guidance, and other minor improvements. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Early application of the amendments in this ASU is permitted for all entities, for any fiscal year or interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued (or made available for issuance). If an entity adopts the amendments in an interim period, it must adopt them as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company is currently assessing the effect of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

10. Income Taxes

 

For the nine-months ended May 31, 2024, the Company did not recognize a provision or benefit for income taxes as it has incurred net losses.

Stock Options

 

The Company has established an Equity Incentive Plan which was most recently amended by the Company’s shareholders on May 9, 2023. Pursuant to the amendments which were affected on January 18, 2024 when the Company filed a Form S-8 Registration Statement, the Equity Incentive Plan now has an evergreen formula, whereby on January 1 each year commencing January 1, 2024, the number of shares issuable pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan may be increased to a number equal to up to 10% of the issued share capital on December 31 of the previous year.  The Company has registered an additional 527,111 common shares issuable pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan, for an aggregate 1,037,544 common shares issuable under the Equity Incentive Plan.  Stock options currently granted must be exercised within five years from the date of grant or such lesser period as determined by the Company’s board of directors. The vesting terms of each grant are also set by the board of directors. The exercise price of an option is equal to or greater than the closing market price of the Company’s common shares on the day preceding the date of grant.

 

Other than the issuance of options as an incentive for engagement, the Company has historically issued options to all of the independent directors, as a group and to its employees and consultants, as a group.  As a result, option issuances are typically no more than two to three times per year.  While the Company does not have a formal policy regulating option issuances, the Company attempts to ensure that such option issuances do not occur when material information has not been disclosed to the public and no less than two weeks prior to any quarterly or annual financial statement filing.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. Any forward-looking statements are based on our present beliefs and assumptions as well as the information currently available to us. In some cases, forward-looking statements are identified by terminology such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “could”, “targets”, “goal”, “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled “Risk Factors” set forth in Item 1(A) in our annual report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 20, 2023, that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

Further, management cannot assess the impact of each factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

 

Our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (“US$”) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“US GAAP”). The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this quarterly report.

All references to “common shares” and “shares” refer to the common shares in our capital stock, unless otherwise indicated. The terms “Lexaria” “we”, “us”, “our” and “Company” mean the Company and/or our subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated.

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed financial statements and accompanying notes in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, and our audited financial statements with notes in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2023.

 

Company Overview

 

Lexaria’s DehydraTECH patented technology is a drug delivery platform technology that provides more predictable time of delivery of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (“API”) into the bloodstream and brain tissue. Based on R&D studies completed in animals and humans, DehydraTECH has been shown to improve the delivery of bioactive compounds into the bloodstream, lowers overall dosing, and is highly effective in API delivery available in a range of formats from oral ingestible to oral buccal/sublingual to topical products. DehydraTECH substantially improves the rapidity and quantity of API transport to the blood plasma and brain using the body’s natural process for distributing fatty acids via oral ingestion. This technology extends across many categories beyond the primary pharmaceutical focus of the Company, from foods and beverages to cosmetic products and nutraceuticals.

 

Lexaria is advancing several R&D activities in preclinical as well as on-going and planned future clinical programs.  During the nine-months ended May 31, 2024, Lexaria provided its final results from its human pilot study to investigate whether DehydraTECH-enhanced Rybelsus™ could offer greater benefits than Rybelsus on its own.  As announced on January 4, 2024, our final findings found even more pronounced results than in the first half of the study that DehydraTECH-enhanced Rybelsus confirming:  sustained higher levels of semaglutide in blood; faster achievement of peak drug delivery; reduced side effects; sustained lower levels of blood glucose and lowered blood-glucose spike after eating. In January 2024, we announced a comprehensive planned applied research program to thoroughly evaluate DehydraTECH for the improved delivery of GLP-1 drugs, designed to support prospective commercial partnering with the global pharmaceutical companies.

Further, during the nine-months ended May 31, 2024, Lexaria filed its Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the US Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) for its planned phase 1b hypertension clinical trial for its DehydraTECH-CBD drug product.  Upon responding to certain inquires of the FDA, Lexaria received a Study May Proceed letter from the FDA on February 29, 2024, enabling Lexaria to proceed with conducting A Phase 1b Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of DehydraTECH-CBD in Subjects with Stage 1 or Stage 2 Hypertension, subject to raising sufficient funding, and satisfying certain other FDA-requested conditions.

 

During the nine-months ended May 31, 2024, the Company also entered into a securities purchase agreement with a single healthcare-focused institutional investor to purchase 889,272 shares of common stock and 729,058 pre-funded warrants in a registered direct offering. In a concurrent private placement, the Company also sold to the investor, warrants to purchase up to 1,618,330 shares of common stock. The combined effective offering price for each share of common stock (or pre-funded warrant in lieu thereof) and accompanying warrant was $0.97 (to note the pre-funded warrants were issued at a price of $0.9699 and have an exercise price of $0.0001). The warrants will become exercisable six months from issuance, expire five and a half years from the issuance date, and have an exercise price of $0.97 per share. The net proceeds to the Company from the registered direct offering and concurrent private placement were $1.25 million, after deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company. To date all of the pre-funded warrants have been exercised, resulting in an issuance by the Company of an aggregate 729,058 common shares for gross proceeds of $73.

 

The Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreements with investors whereby on February 16, 2024, the company issued 1,444,741 shares of common stock and 113,702 pre-funded warrants in a registered direct offering. The Company also agreed to issue and sell to investors warrants to purchase up to 1,558,443 shares of common stock. In addition, the Company also agreed to partially compensate the placement agent through the issuance of warrants to purchase up to 54,546 shares of common stock. The net proceeds to the Company from the registered direct offering and concurrent private placement totaled $3.0 million, after deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses paid by the Company.

Research & Development

 

Lexaria is advancing several R&D activities in both preclinical and clinical programs. Currently, our primary research programs are the investigation of optimal formulations of DehydraTECH-enhanced glucagon-like peptide-1 (“GLP-1”) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (“GIP”) drugs as well as the investigation of cannabidiol (“CBD”) for the reduction of hypertension leading to a recently cleared IND application by the U.S. FDA.  Other programs have included DehydraTECH formulation development and testing with nicotine for reduced-risk oral pouches and prospective nicotine replacement therapy, human hormones, CBD for diabetes, dementia, seizures and others. From time to time the Company will engage in contract R&D for third parties who are interested in evaluating DehydraTECH in their products.

 

Diabetes and Weight Loss Management Investigation

 

During the quarter ended May 31, 2024, Lexaria completed its initial investigational study to examine DehydraTECH-enhanced GLP-1 for prospective improvement in diabetes and weight loss management applications.  The initial investigation (Human Pilot Study #1) was an investigator-initiated pilot study of the GLP-1 drug semaglutide with seven (7) healthy volunteers comparing performance of a DehydraTECH-semaglutide oral capsule formulation to that of commercially available Rybelsus® tablets.  For purposes of this initial study, the DehydraTECH-semaglutide composition was compound formulated using Rybelsus tablets as the semaglutide source input.  As noted in our press releases issued on November 27 and 28, 2023, interim study findings showed that the DehydraTECH-semaglutide capsules sustained higher levels of semaglutide in blood; had faster achievement of peak drug delivery; had reduced incidence of moderate to severe side effects; sustained lower levels of blood glucose and lowered blood-glucose spike after eating.  On January 4, 2024, upon conclusion of the study and full dataset analysis, the final study findings built upon the previously released interim findings evidencing that DehydraTECH-semaglutide produced even more pronounced and sustained higher levels of semaglutide in blood and lower levels of blood glucose and lowered blood-glucose spike after eating, while continuing to demonstrate reduced incidence of moderate to severe side effects.

 

In January 2024, we announced a comprehensive planned applied animal and human clinical research and development program to thoroughly evaluate DehydraTECH for the improved delivery of GLP-1 and GIP drugs, designed to support prospective commercial partnering with global pharmaceutical companies. The objective of the new planned studies is to help determine the commercial applicability of DehydraTECH to at least two GLP-1 drugs (semaglutide and liraglutide) and one dual action GLP-1/GIP drug (tirzepatide) which together produced billions of dollars of revenue to their owners, as reported in their most recent financial statements. The new planned studies to be undertaken are as follows:

 

Chronic Dosing Animal Study (WEIGHT-A24-1)

 

As announced on May 17, 2024, the dosing for this study has commenced. This will be an obese rat diabetic-conditioned study similar to a previous Lexaria study (DIAB-A22-1), with approximately 12 study arms and 6-10 animals per arm. The study is expected to run for 12 weeks in each arm to allow time to study weight loss, PK, and blood sugar control over time, followed by full data analysis and reporting. Varied DehydraTECH formulations of semaglutide and liraglutide, alone and together with DehydraTECH-CBD, will be evaluated, to be compared to commercially available Rybelsus®. We also expect to be evaluating DehydraTECH-processed semaglutide with and without the salcaprozate sodium "SNAC" technology currently found within Rybelsus® tablets.

Table of Contents

 

Human Pilot Study #2 (GLP-1-H24-2)

 

As announced on May 8, 2024, the dosing for this study has commenced with the first two dosing arms having been completed. This human pilot study in up to 8 healthy volunteers, will study a single dose of oral ingested DehydraTECH-semaglutide capsules in a similar design but different formulation to Human Pilot Study #1, to be compared to commercially available Rybelsus®. We also intend to study an oral dissolvable DehydraTECH-semaglutide tablet formulation (dissolvable into sublingual/buccal tissue) to determine whether GLP-1 drug absorption via this route is effective and well tolerated as an alternative to the conventional oral ingestible route which often presents with gastrointestinal side effect issues. Tolerability, PK, and blood sugar control will all be evaluated. The DehydraTECH compositions for this study will be compound-formulated using commercially available Rybelsus® tablets as the semaglutide input material. On June 5, 2024, we announced that human pilot study continues to make progress and the second round of dosing for all nine study participants is now complete. Lexaria expects to complete the third (final) arm of the Study in early July

 

 Human Pilot Study #3 (GLP-1-H24-3)

 

As announced on May 23, 2024, the CRO has been selected for this study and the manufacture of the test articles is expected to be completed by the end of June 2024. This human pilot study in up to 8 healthy human volunteers will study a single daily dose of oral ingested DehydraTECH-tirzepatide capsules (to be compound-formulated using Zepbound® by Eli Lilly) administered over a seven-day period compared to commercially available Zepbound® to evaluate tolerability, PK, and blood sugar. Zepbound® is currently administered by injection only and will be used as the tirzepatide input material for production of the DehydraTECH-tirzepatide capsules to be studied. Importantly, this study will evaluate DehydraTECH effectiveness in humans with a dual action GLP-1 + GIP drug while also doing so without the SNAC ingredient found in the Rybelsus® semaglutide composition from Human Pilot Studies #1 and #2.

 

Chronic Dosing Human Study (GLP-1-H24-4)

 

Targeted start Q3, 2024. This chronic human study in 60 to 80 obese, pre-diabetic and/or type-2 diabetic human volunteers/patients will dose daily using oral DehydraTECH capsules for 12 weeks and will evaluate tolerability, PK, weight loss, blood sugar levels and more. The primary goal of this study will be to compare DehydraTECH-processed semaglutide capsules to DehydraTECH-CBD capsules alone - and together in combination - relative to a placebo control over an extended period of time. Inclusion of DehydraTECH-CBD in this study will be undertaken to determine if the improvements in glycemic control and weight loss witnessed in Lexaria's previous animal study DIAB-A22-1 are evidenced in humans. On June 18, 2024, Lexaria announced that it has now hired a contract research organization ("CRO") to oversee execution of this study.

 

Mode of Action and Performance of DehydraTECH-GLP-1 Drugs

 

On May 6, 2024, Lexaria announced an applied research program to evaluate certain molecular characteristics of DehydraTECH processed with the glucagon-peptide 1 ("GLP-1") drug, semaglutide, related to its mode of action and performance. The research will be conducted in partnership with the National Research Council of Canada ("NRC"). This work program will evaluate the molecular properties of DehydraTECH-processed pure semaglutide using simulated gastric fluid thereby mimicking conditions in the human gut. A battery of testing methods will be employed, including polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis ("PAGE"), size exclusion chromatography ("SEC"), matrix assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry ("MALDI MS") and dynamic light scattering ("DLS").

Long Term Stability Testing

 

Lexaria plans to study the chemical and microbiological purity and stability of select DehydraTECH compositions that it prepares for the above planned upcoming animal and human studies over an extended duration of 6-12 months. Along with improved tolerability, PK and efficacy performance, long term stability is crucial if oral variants of GLP-1 / GIP drugs are to be seriously considered as replacements for currently injectable versions of these drugs.

 

Hypertension Phase 1b IND Trial HYPER-H23-1

 

The FDA provided Lexaria with a positive written response on August 10, 2022, from our pre-IND meeting regarding DehydraTECH-CBD for the treatment of hypertension. The FDA confirmed that it had agreed with Lexaria’s proposal to pursue a 505(b)(2) new drug application (“NDA”) regulatory pathway for our program. On January 29, 2024, Lexaria submitted its IND application with the FDA and it received a Study May Proceed letter from the FDA on February 29, 2024. Manufacturing IND drug product batches has been performed through our third-party contract manufacturer, in compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practice (“cGMP”) regulations as mandated by the FDA, including stability testing.  We will continue to manufacture additional drug product batches though our third-party contract manufacturer in the future as we perform additional clinical studies. We have begun certain administrative study start-up tasks associated with preparation to perform study HYPER-H23-1 when ready to be initiated following the satisfaction of certain FDA conditions and raising sufficient funding.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with US GAAP. These accounting principles require management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses during the periods reported. Based on information available to management at the time, these estimates, judgments and assumptions are considered reasonable. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates, judgments and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financials. 

 

For a discussion of our critical accounting estimates, please read Note 4, Estimates and Judgements, as found in the financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2023.  There have been no material changes to the critical accounting estimates as previously disclosed in our 2023 Form 10-K.

 

Funding Requirements

 

We anticipate that our expenditures will increase in connection with our ongoing R&D program, specifically with respect to our animal and human clinical trials of our DehydraTECH formulations for the purposes of our investigations with GLP-1 drugs and treating hypertension.  As we move forward with our planned R&D studies in 2024, we anticipate that our expenditures will further increase and accordingly, we expect to incur increased operating losses and negative cash flows for the foreseeable future.

 

Through May 31, 2024, we have funded our operations primarily through the proceeds from the sale of common stock. The Company has consistently incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations, including net losses of $3,622,083 and $5,463,510 for the nine-months ended May 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. 

 

The continuation of Lexaria as a going concern depends on raising additional capital and/or attaining and maintaining profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recovery and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should our Company discontinue operations.  The recurring losses from operations and net capital deficiency may raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year following the date that these consolidated financial statements are issued.

Net cash used in investing activities during the nine-months ended May 31, 2024, compared to the nine-months ended May 31, 2023, increased by $17,845 due to increased spending on prosecution of intellectual property.

Net cash from financing activities during the nine-months ended May 31, 2024, was $10,315,207. The increase relates to net proceeds from the sale of common shares of $4,208,731, warrant exercises of $6,103,602 and a stock option exercise of $2,874.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Since inception, the Company has incurred significant operating and net losses.  Net losses attributable to shareholders were $3.6 million and $5.5 million for the nine-months ended May 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively.  As of May 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $49.4 million. We expect to continue to incur significant operational expenses and net losses in the upcoming 12 months. Our net losses may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year, depending on the stage and complexity of our R&D studies and corporate expenditures, additional revenues received from the licensing of our technology, if any, and the receipt of payments under any current or future collaborations we may enter into. The recurring losses and negative net cash flows raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Sources of Liquidity

 

During the nine-months ended May 31, 2024, the Company has completed the following:

 

 

·

Entered into a Warrant Exercise Agreement on April 30, 2024, to induce an existing accredited investor (the “Investor”) to exercise in full outstanding Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Exercise”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,917,032 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Existing Warrant”) for gross proceeds of $4,407,444. In consideration for the immediate and full exercise of the Existing Warrant, the Investor received a new unregistered Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,917,032 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “New Warrant”) with an exercise price of $4.75 per share in a private placement pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”).  The New Warrant was issued to the Investor for consideration of $0.125 per share for additional gross proceeds of $364,629.  The Company also issued 102,097 warrants with an exercise price of $5.9375 as part of a tail commission. Placement agent fees and other offering expenses in the amount of $209,796 were netted against the proceeds.

 

·

Entered into Securities Purchase Agreements whereby on February 16, 2024, the Company issued 1,444,741 shares of common stock and 113,702 pre-funded warrants in a registered direct offering. The Company also sold to investors, warrants to purchase up to 1,558,443 shares of common stock. The combined effective offering price for each share of common stock and accompanying warrant was $2.31. The warrants will expire five years from the issuance date, and have an exercise price of $2.185 per share. The Company also agreed to partially compensate the placement agent through the issuance of warrants to purchase up to 54,546 shares of common stock. The warrants will expire five years from the issuance date, and have an exercise price of $2.8875 per share. The net proceeds to the Company from the registered direct offering was $3.0 million, after deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses paid by the Company.

 

·

Entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement whereby on October 3, 2023, the Company issued, to a single healthcare-focused institutional investor, 889,272 shares of common stock and 729,058 pre-funded warrants in a registered direct offering. In a concurrent private placement, the Company also agreed to issue and sell to the investor, warrants to purchase up to 1,618,330 shares of common stock. The combined effective offering price for each share of common stock (or pre-funded warrant in lieu thereof) and accompanying warrant was $0.97 (to note the pre-funded warrants were issued at a price of $0.9699 and have an exercise price of $0.0001). The warrants will become exercisable six months from issuance, expire five and a half years from the issuance date, and have an exercise price of $0.97 per share. The net proceeds to the Company from the registered direct offering and concurrent private placement totaled $1.25 million, after deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company. To date all of the pre-funded warrants have been exercised, resulting in an issuance by the Company of an aggregate 729,058 common shares for gross proceeds of $73.

 

·

Issued an aggregate of 1,622,250 common shares pursuant to the exercise of warrants that were issued under our May 11, 2023, financing, at an exercise price of $0.95 per share for the gross proceeds of $1,541,138.

 

We may also offer securities in response to market conditions or other circumstances if we believe such a plan of financing is required to advance the Company’s business plans. There is no certainty that future equity or debt financing will be available or that it will be at acceptable terms and the outcome of these matters is unpredictable. A lack of adequate funding may force us to reduce spending, curtail or suspend planned programs or possibly liquidate assets.  Any of these actions could adversely and materially affect our business, cash flow, financial condition, results of operations, and potential prospects. The sale of additional equity may result in additional dilution to our stockholders. Entering into additional licensing agreements, collaborations, partnerships, alliances marketing, distribution, or licensing arrangements with third parties to increase our capital resources is also possible. If we do so we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.

 

The Company has evaluated whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. As of May 31, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $8.5 million to settle $271,375 in current liabilities. We have performed a review of our cash flow forecast and have concluded that our existing cash, combined with those expected from executed license agreements, will be sufficient to meet the Company's financial obligations for the twelve-month period following the filing of these consolidated financial statements on Form 10-Q In making this assessment, the Company believes that this alleviates any substantial doubt in connection with the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Item 3. Controls and Procedures

 

Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President, our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As of May 31, 2024, the fiscal quarter covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of May 31, 2024.

 

Inherent limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

 

Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations which include but is not limited to the use of independent professionals for advice and guidance, interpretation of existing and/or changing rules and principles, regulations, segregation of management duties, scale of organization, and personnel factors. It is a process which involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. It can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis.  These inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process, and it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, these risks. Systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurances with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the quarter ended May 31, 2024, our controls and controls processes remained consistent with those in effect at August 31, 2023. There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended May 31, 2024, that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

We are not party to any material, pending or existing legal proceedings against our Company or its subsidiaries, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any other material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, executive officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial stockholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

Much of the information included in this quarterly report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other "forward-looking statements". Such forward-looking statements include any projections or estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein.
