Intellipharmaceutics Announces Third Quarter 2021 Results

Toronto, Ontario July 15, 2021 – Intellipharmaceutics International Inc. (OTCQB: IPCIF and TSX: IPCI) (“Intellipharmaceutics” or the “Company”), a pharmaceutical company specializing in the research, development and manufacture of novel and generic controlled-release and targeted-release oral solid dosage drugs, today reported the results of operations for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2021. All dollar amounts referenced herein are in United States dollars unless otherwise noted.

●

Effective May 5, 2021 our exclusive license agreements with Tris Pharma, Inc. for generic Seroquel XR®, generic Pristiq® and generic Effexor XR® were mutually terminated. Products were never supplied nor distributed under the licenses. Termination of the exclusive agreements may provide opportunity for the Company to explore options of supplying the products to multiple sources on non-exclusive bases. However, there can be no assurance that the products previously licensed to Tris Pharma will be successfully commercialized and produce significant revenues for us.

●

On April 22, 2021, the Company announced the completion of a non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") of 9,414,560 common shares of the Company (the "Common Shares") at a price of CAD$0.41 per Common Share for total gross proceeds of CAD$3,859,969.60, subject to the final acceptance by the TSX. The Common Shares will be subject to a four-month hold period expiring on August 22, 2021 in accordance with applicable securities legislation and the policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX"). The Common Shares were sold only to non-U.S. persons outside of the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the United States Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act"). The Common Shares issued in the Private Placement were not registered under the 1933 Act or the securities laws of any state in the United States and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the 1933 Act) or persons in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements. The TSX approved the private placement. The proceeds of the Private Placement are expected to be used to maintain the Company’s existing operations and for general working capital purposes and to fund research and development activities.

●

On July 2, 2020 the Company had announced that the parties in the cases, numbers 17-cv-392-RGA, 18-cv-404-RGA and 20-cv-515-RGA (the “Litigations”) between Purdue Pharma L.P. et al (“Purdue”) and Intellipharmaceutics entered into a stipulated dismissal of the Litigations. On July 28, 2020 the United States District Court for the District of Delaware signed the stipulations of dismissal into order thereby dismissing the claims in the three cases without prejudice. The stipulated dismissal, which was subject to approval by the bankruptcy court presiding over Purdue Pharma’s pending chapter 11 cases, provides for the termination of patent infringement proceedings commenced by Purdue against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware in respect of the Company’s NDA filing for Aximris XRTM with the FDA. The stipulated dismissal also provides that (i) for a thirty (30) day period following a final approval of the Company’s Aximris XRTM NDA the parties will attempt to resolve any potential asserted patent infringement claims relating to the NDA and (ii) if the parties fail to resolve all such claims during such period Purdue Pharma will have fifteen (15) days to pursue an infringement action against the Company. The terms of the stipulated dismissal agreement are confidential. In consideration of the confidential stipulated dismissal agreement and for future saved litigation expenses, Purdue has paid an amount to the Company.

●

On January 15, 2020, at a joint meeting of the Anesthetic and Analgesic Drug Products Advisory Committee and Drug Safety and Risk Management Advisory Committee (“Advisory Committees”) of the FDA to discuss our NDA for Aximris XR™, abuse-deterrent oxycodone hydrochloride extended-release tablets, the Advisory Committees voted 24 to 2 against the approval of our NDA for Aximris XR™ for the management of pain severe enough to require daily, around-the-clock, long-term opioid treatment and for which alternative treatment options are inadequate. We expect the FDA to take action on our application, on completion of their review of the NDA. To date the Agency has not communicated any action to the Company.

Results of Operations

The Company recorded net loss for the three months ended August 31, 2021 of $1,264,305 or $0.04 per common share, compared with a net income of $1,026,941 or $0.04 per common share for the three months ended August 31, 2020.

The Company recorded revenues of $Nil for the three months ended August 31, 2021 versus $328,781 for the three months ended August 31, 2020. Such revenues consisted primarily of licensing revenues from commercial sales of the 5, 10, 20,15, 25, 30, 35 and 40 mg strengths of our generic Focalin XR® under the Par agreement for the three months ended August 31, 2021.

Expenditures for R&D were $723,224 for the three months ended August 31, 2021 in comparison to $842,846 for the three months ended August 31, 2020, resulting in a decrease of $119,622 compared to the three months ended August 31, 2020. In the three months ended August 31, 2021, we recorded $Nil of expenses for stock-based compensation for R&D employees compared to $10,525for the three months ended August 31, 2020. After adjusting for the stock-based compensation expenses discussed above, expenditures for R&D for the three months ended August 31, 2021 were lower by $109,097 compared to the three months ended August 31, 2020. The decrease is primarily due to significantly reduced third party consulting fees.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $295,217 for the three months ended August 31, 2021 in comparison to $513,121 for the three months ended August 31, 2020, resulting in a decrease of $217,904. The decrease is mainly due to a decrease in administrative costs, and a decrease in wages and benefits.

As of August 31, 2021, our cash balance was $1,107,698. We currently expect to meet our short-term cash requirements from the proceeds of the private placement financing just completed and quarterly profit share payments from Par and by cost savings resulting from reduced R&D activities and staffing levels. Effective May 5, 2021 our exclusive license agreements with Tris Pharma, Inc. for generic Seroquel XR®, generic Pristiq® and generic Effexor XR® were mutually terminated. Products were never supplied nor distributed under the licenses. Termination of the exclusive agreements may provide opportunity for the Company to explore options of supplying the products to multiple sources on non-exclusive bases. However, there can be no assurance that the products previously licensed to Tris Pharma will be successfully commercialized and produce significant revenues for us. We will still need to obtain additional funding to, among other things, further product commercialization activities and development of our product candidates. Potential sources of capital may include, if conditions permit, equity and/or debt financing, payments from licensing and/or development agreements and/or new strategic partnership agreements. The Company has funded its business activities principally through the issuance of securities, loans from related parties (see “Related Party Transactions” for more information related to the terms of such loans and applicable maturities) and funds from development agreements. There is no certainty that such funding will be available going forward or, if it is, whether it will be sufficient to meet our needs.  Our future operations are highly dependent upon our ability to source additional funding to support advancing our product candidate pipeline through continued R&D activities and to expand our operations. Our ultimate success will depend on whether our product candidates are approved by the FDA, Health Canada, or the regulatory authorities of other countries in which our products are proposed to be sold and whether we are able to successfully market our approved products.  We cannot be certain that we will receive such regulatory approval for any of our current or future product candidates, that we will reach the level of revenues necessary to achieve and sustain profitability, or that we will secure other capital sources on terms or in amounts sufficient to meet our needs, or at all.

There can be no assurance that we will not be required to conduct further studies for our Aximris XR product candidate, that the FDA will approve any of our requested abuse-deterrence label claims, that the FDA will ultimately approve the NDA for the sale of the product candidate in the U.S. market or that the product will ever be successfully commercialized and produce significant revenue for us.

manufacturers' facilities, products and/or businesses, our reliance on commercial partners, and any future commercial partners, to market and commercialize our products and, if approved, our product candidates, difficulties, delays or changes in the FDA approval process or test criteria for ANDAs and NDAs, challenges in securing final FDA approval for our product candidates, including our oxycodone hydrochloride extended release tablets product candidate, in particular, if a patent infringement suit is filed against us with respect to any particular product candidates (such as in the case of Oxycodone ER), which could delay the FDA's final approval of such product candidates, healthcare reform measures that could hinder or prevent the commercial success of our products and product candidates, the risk that the FDA may not approve requested product labeling for our product candidate(s) having abuse-deterrent properties and targeting common forms of abuse (oral, intra-nasal and intravenous), risks associated with cyber-security and the potential for vulnerability of our digital information or the digital information of a current and/or future drug development or commercialization partner of ours, and risks arising from the ability and willingness of our third-party commercialization partners to provide documentation that may be required to support information on revenues earned by us from those commercialization partners.
