Notes to the condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements
For the three months ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019
(Stated in U.S. dollars)
 
1.
Nature of operations
 
Intellipharmaceutics International Inc. (the “Company”) is a pharmaceutical company specializing in the research, development and manufacture of novel and generic controlled-release and targeted-release oral solid dosage drugs.
 
On October 22, 2009, IntelliPharmaCeutics Ltd. (“IPC Ltd. “) and Vasogen Inc. completed a court approved plan of arrangement and merger (the “IPC Arrangement Agreement”), resulting in the formation of the Company, which is incorporated under the laws of Canada. The Company’s common shares are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and the OTCQB Venture Market.
 
The Company earns revenue from non-refundable upfront fees, milestone payments upon achievement of specified research or development, exclusivity milestone payments and licensing and cost-plus payments on sales of resulting products. In November 2013, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) granted the Company final approval to market the Company’s first product, the 15 mg and 30 mg strengths of the Company’s generic Focalin XR® (dexmethylphenidate hydrochloride extended-release) capsules. In 2017, the FDA granted final approval for the remaining 6 (six) strengths, all of which have been launched. In May 2017, the FDA granted the Company final approval for its second commercialized product, the 50, 150, 200, 300 and 400 mg strengths of generic Seroquel XR® (quetiapine fumarate extended release) tablets, and the Company commenced shipment of all strengths that same month. In November 2018, the FDA granted the Company final approval for its venlafaxine hydrochloride extended-release capsules in the 37.5, 75, and 150 mg strengths.
 
Going concern
 
The condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next twelve months. The Company has incurred losses from operations since inception and has reported losses of $1,747,373 for the three months ended February 29, 2020 (three months ended February 28, 2019 - $3,224,449) and has an accumulated deficit of $95,452,958 as at February 29, 2020 (November 30, 2019 - $93,705,585). The Company has a working capital deficiency of $6,972,164 as at February 29, 2020 (November 30, 2019 – working capital deficiency of $5,965,627). The Company has funded its research and development (“R&D”) activities principally through the issuance of securities, loans from related parties, funds from the IPC Arrangement Agreement, and funds received under development agreements. There is no certainty that such funding will be available going forward. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern and realize its assets and pay its liabilities as they become due.
 
In order for the Company to continue as a going concern and fund any significant expansion of its operation or R&D activities, the Company may require significant additional capital. Although there can be no assurances, such funding may come from revenues from the sales of the Company’s generic Focalin XR® (dexmethylphenidate hydrochloride extended-release) capsules, from revenues from the sales of the Company’s generic Seroquel XR® (quetiapine fumarate extended-release) tablets and from potential partnering opportunities. Other potential sources of capital may include payments from licensing agreements, cost savings associated with managing operating expense levels, other equity and/or debt financings, and/or new strategic partnership agreements which fund some or all costs of product development. The Company’s ultimate success will depend on whether its product candidates receive the approval of the FDA, Health Canada, and the regulatory authorities of the other countries in which its products are proposed to be sold and whether it is able to successfully market approved products. The Company cannot be certain that it will receive FDA, Health Canada, or such other regulatory approval for any of its current or future product candidates, or that it will reach the level of sales and revenues necessary to achieve and sustain profitability, or that the Company can secure other capital sources on terms or in amounts sufficient to meet its needs, or at all.
 
The availability of equity or debt financing will be affected by, among other things, the results of the Company’s R&D, its ability to obtain regulatory approvals, its success in commercializing approved products with its commercial partners and the market acceptance of its products, the state of the capital markets generally, the delisting from Nasdaq (as defined below), strategic alliance agreements, and other relevant commercial considerations.

1.
Nature of operations (continued)
 
Going concern (continued)
 
In addition, if the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, its then existing security holders will likely experience dilution, and the incurring of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require the Company to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict its operations. In the event that the Company does not obtain sufficient additional capital, it will raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, realize its assets and pay its liabilities as they become due. The Company’s cash outflows are expected to consist primarily of internal and external R&D, legal and consulting expenditures to advance its product pipeline and selling, general and administrative expenses to support its commercialization efforts. Depending upon the results of the Company’s R&D programs, the impact of the litigation against the Company and the availability of financial resources, the Company could decide to accelerate, terminate, or reduce certain projects, or commence new ones. Any failure on its part to successfully commercialize approved products or raise additional funds on terms favorable to the Company or at all, may require the Company to significantly change or curtail its current or planned operations in order to conserve cash until such time, if ever, that sufficient proceeds from operations are generated, and could result in the Company not taking advantage of business opportunities, in the termination or delay of clinical trials or the Company not taking any necessary actions required by the FDA or Health Canada for one or more of the Company’s product candidates, in curtailment of the Company’s product development programs designed to identify new product candidates, in the sale or assignment of rights to its technologies, products or product candidates, and/or its inability to file Abbreviated New Drug Applications (“ANDAs”), Abbreviated New Drug Submissions (“ANDSs”) or New Drug Applications (“NDAs”) at all or in time to competitively market its products or product candidates.
 
The condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of uncertainties described above. If the going concern assumption no longer becomes appropriate for these condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the balance sheet classifications used. Such adjustments could be material.
 
2.
Basis of presentation
 
(a)
Basis of consolidation
 
These condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries, IPC Ltd., Intellipharmaceutics Corp., and Vasogen Corp.
 
References in these condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements to share amounts, per share data, share prices, exercise prices and conversion rates have been adjusted to reflect the effect of the 1-for-10 reverse stock split (known as a share consolidation under Canadian law) (the “reverse split”) which became effective on each of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) and TSX at the opening of the market on September 14, 2018. The term “share consolidation” is intended to refer to such reverse split and the terms “pre-consolidation” and “post-consolidation” are intended to refer to “pre-reverse split” and “post-reverse split”, respectively.
 
In September 2018, the Company announced the reverse split. At a special meeting of the Company’s shareholders held on August 15, 2018, the Company’s shareholders granted the Company’s Board of Directors discretionary authority to implement a share consolidation of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company on the basis of a share consolidation ratio within a range from five (5) pre-consolidation common shares for one (1) post-consolidation common share to fifteen (15) pre-consolidation common shares for one (1) post-consolidation common share. The Board of Directors selected a share consolidation ratio of ten (10) pre-consolidation shares for one (1) post-consolidation common share. On September 12, 2018, the Company filed an amendment to the Company’s articles ("Articles of Amendment") to implement the 1-for-10 reverse split.

2.
Basis of presentation (continued)
 
(a)
Basis of consolidation (continued)
 
The Company’s common shares began trading on each of Nasdaq and TSX on a post-split basis under the Company’s existing trade symbol “IPCI” at the opening of the market on September 14, 2018. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), the change has been applied retroactively.
 
The condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not conform in all respects to the annual requirements of U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, these condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended November 30, 2019.
 
These condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies and methods as those used by the Company in the annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2019 except for the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASC 842”), as further discussed below in Note 3.
 
The condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operation for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature.
 
All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
 
(b)
Use of estimates
 
 The preparation of the condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Areas where significant judgment is involved in making estimates are: the determination of the functional currency; the fair values of financial assets and liabilities; the determination of units of accounting for revenue recognition; the accrual of licensing and milestone revenue; and forecasting future cash flows for assessing the going concern assumption.
 
3.
Significant accounting policies
 
(a)
Revenue recognition
 
The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with the provisions of ASC 606. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue following the five-step model prescribed under ASC 606: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation(s). The Company earns revenue from non-refundable upfront fees, milestone payments upon achievement of specified research or development, exclusivity milestone payments and licensing payments on sales of resulting products.
 
The relevant revenue recognition accounting policy is applied to each separate unit of accounting.
 
Licensing
 
The Company recognizes revenue from the licensing of the Company's drug delivery technologies, products and product candidates. Under the terms of the licensing arrangements, the Company provides the customer with a right to access the Company’s intellectual property with regards to the license which is granted. Revenue arising from the license of intellectual property rights is recognized over the period the Company transfers control of the intellectual property.

Significant accounting policies (continued)
 
(a)
 Revenue recognition (continued)
 
The Company has a license and commercialization agreement with Par Pharmaceutical Inc. (“Par”). Under the exclusive territorial license rights granted to Par, the agreement requires that Par manufacture, promote, market, sell and distribute the product. Licensing revenue amounts receivable by the Company under this agreement are calculated and reported to the Company by Par, with such amounts generally based upon net product sales and net profit which include estimates for chargebacks, rebates, product returns, and other adjustments. Licensing revenue payments received by the Company from Par under this agreement are not subject to further deductions for chargebacks, rebates, product returns, and other pricing adjustments. Based on this arrangement and the guidance per ASC 606, the Company records licensing revenue over the period the Company transfers control of the intellectual property in the condensed unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
 
The Company also had a license and commercial supply agreement (the “Mallinckrodt agreement”) with Mallinckrodt LLC (“Mallinckrodt”) which provided Mallinckrodt an exclusive license to market, sell and distribute in the U.S. three drug product candidates for which the Company has ANDAs filed with the FDA, one of which (the Company’s generic Seroquel XR®) received final approval from the FDA in 2017. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company was responsible for the manufacture of approved products for subsequent sale by Mallinckrodt in the U.S. market. Following receipt of final FDA approval for its generic Seroquel XR®, the Company began shipment of manufactured product to Mallinckrodt. The Company recorded revenue once Mallinckrodt obtained control of the product and the performance obligation was satisfied.
 
On April 12, 2019, Mallinckrodt and the Company mutually agreed to terminate the Mallinckrodt agreement, effective no later than August 31, 2019. Under the terms of the mutual agreement, Mallinckrodt was released from certain obligations under the agreement as of April 12, 2019. Effective August 12, 2019, the Mallinckrodt agreement was terminated.
 
Licensing revenue in respect of manufactured product were reported as revenue in accordance with ASC 606. Once product was sold by Mallinckrodt, the Company received downstream licensing revenue amounts calculated and reported by Mallinckrodt, with such amounts generally based upon net product sales and net profit which included estimates for chargebacks, rebates, product returns, and other adjustments. Such downstream licensing revenue payments received by the Company under this Mallinckrodt agreement were not subject to further deductions for chargebacks, rebates, product returns, and other pricing adjustments. Based on this Mallinckrodt agreement and the guidance per ASC 606, the Company recorded licensing revenue as earned on a monthly basis.
 
Milestones
 
For milestone payments that are not contingent on sales-based thresholds, the Company applies a most-likely amount approach on a contract-by-contract basis. Management makes an assessment of the amount of revenue expected to be received based on the probability of the milestone outcome. Variable consideration is included in revenue only to the extent that it is probable that the amount will not be subject to a significant reversal when the uncertainty is resolved (generally when the milestone outcome is satisfied).
 
Research and development
 
Under arrangements where the license fees and research and development activities can be accounted for as a separate unit of accounting, non-refundable upfront license fees are deferred and recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the Company's continued involvement in the research and development process.
 
Deferred revenue
 
Deferred revenue represents the funds received from clients, for which the revenues have not yet been earned, as the milestones have not been achieved, or in the case of upfront fees for drug development, where the work remains to be completed. During the year ended November 30, 2016, the Company received an up-front payment of $3,000,000 from Mallinckrodt pursuant to the Mallinckrodt agreement, and initially recorded it as deferred revenue, as it did not meet the criteria

for recognition. For the three months ended February 29, 2020, the Company recognized $Nil (three months ended February 28, 2019 - $75,000) of revenue. As of February 29, 2020 and November 30, 2019, the Company has recorded a deferred revenue balance of $Nil due to the termination of the Mallinckrodt agreement on August 12, 2019.
 
(b)
Research and development costs
 
Research and development costs related to continued research and development programs are expensed as incurred in accordance with ASC topic 730. However, materials and equipment are capitalized and amortized over their useful lives if they have alternative future uses.
 
(c)
Inventory
 
Inventories comprise raw materials, work in process, and finished goods, which are valued at the lower of cost or market, on a first-in, first-out basis. Cost for work in process and finished goods inventories includes materials, direct labor, and an allocation of manufacturing overhead. Market for raw materials is replacement cost, and for work in process and finished goods is net realizable value. The Company evaluates the carrying value of inventories on a regular basis, taking into account such factors as historical and anticipated future sales compared with quantities on hand, the price the Company expects to obtain for products in their respective markets compared with historical cost and the remaining shelf life of goods on hand. As of February 29, 2020, the Company had raw materials inventories of $172,829 (November 30, 2019 - $172,830), work in process of $73,927 (November 30, 2019 - $73,927) and finished goods inventory of $Nil (November 30, 2019 - $102,374) relating to the Company’s generic Seroquel XR® product. The recoverability of the cost of any pre-launch inventories with a limited shelf life is evaluated based on the specific facts and circumstances surrounding the timing of the anticipated product launch.
 
(d)
    Translation of foreign currencies
 
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the Company and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries’ functional currencies, monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the period end rates. Revenue and expenses are translated at rates of exchange prevailing on the transaction dates. All of the exchange gains or losses resulting from these other transactions are recognized in the condensed unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
 
The functional and reporting currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar.
 
(e)
Convertible debentures
 
In fiscal year 2013, the Company issued an unsecured convertible debenture in the principal amount of $1,500,000 (the “2013 Debenture”). At issuance, the conversion option was bifurcated from its host contract and the fair value of the conversion option was characterized as an embedded derivative upon issuance as it met the criteria of ASC topic 815 Derivatives and Hedging.
 
Subsequent changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative were recorded in the condensed unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The proceeds received from the 2013 Debenture less the initial amount allocated to the embedded derivative were allocated to the liability and were accreted over the life of the 2013 Debenture using the effective rate of interest. The Company changed its functional currency effective December 1, 2013 such that the conversion option no longer met the criteria for bifurcation and was prospectively reclassified to shareholders’ equity under ASC Topic 815 at the U.S. dollar translated amount at December 1, 2013.
 
On September 10, 2018, the Company completed a private placement financing (the “2018 Debenture Financing”) of an unsecured convertible debenture in the principal amount of $500,000 (the “2018 Debenture”). At issuance, the conversion price was lower than the market share price, and the value of the beneficial conversion feature related to the 2018 Debenture was allocated to Additional paid-in capital in the condensed unaudited interim consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity (deficiency).

Convertible debentures (continued)
 
On April 4, 2019, a tentative approval from TSX was received for a proposed refinancing of the 2013 Debenture subject to certain conditions being met. As a result of the refinancing, the principal amount owing under the 2013 Debenture was refinanced by a new debenture (the “May 2019 Debenture”). On May 1, 2019, the May 2019 Debenture was issued in the principal amount of $1,050,000, that was originally scheduled to mature on November 1, 2019, bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum and is convertible into 1,779,661 common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $0.59 per common share. At issuance, the conversion option was not characterized as an embedded derivative as it did not meet the criteria of ASC topic 815 Derivatives and Hedging. Also, at issuance, as the conversion price was higher than the market share price, conversion option was not bifurcated from its host contract and the total value of the convertible debenture was recognized as a liability.
 
On August 26, 2019, the Company issued an unsecured convertible debenture in the principal amount of $140,800 (the “August 2019 Debenture”). At issuance, the conversion price was lower than the market share price, and the value of the beneficial conversion feature related to the August 2019 Debenture was allocated to Additional paid-in capital in the condensed unaudited interim consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity (deficiency). In November 2019, the August 2019 Debenture was paid in full.
 
On November 15, 2019, the Company issued an unsecured convertible debenture in the principal amount of $250,000 (the “November 2019 Debenture”) that was originally scheduled to mature on December 31, 2019, bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum and is convertible into common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $0.12 per share. At issuance, the conversion price was lower than the market share price, and the value of the beneficial conversion feature related to the November 2019 Debenture was allocated to Additional paid-in capital in the condensed unaudited interim consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity (deficiency).
 
(f)
Investment tax credits
 
The investment tax credits (“ITC") receivable are amounts considered recoverable from the Canadian federal and provincial governments under the Scientific Research & Experimental Development (“SR&ED”) incentive program. The amounts claimed under the program represent the amounts based on management estimates of eligible research and development costs incurred during the year. Realization is subject to government approval. Any adjustment to the amounts claimed will be recognized in the year in which the adjustment occurs. Refundable ITCs claimed relating to capital expenditures are credited to property and equipment. Refundable ITCs claimed relating to current expenditures are netted against research and development expenditures.
 
(g)
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
 
On December 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842 Leases using the modified retrospective transition method, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients in transition, which permitted the Company not to reassess prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs on leases that commenced prior to adoption of the new standard. The Company also elected the ongoing practical expedient not to recognize operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities for short-term leases. As a result of adopting the new standard, the Company didn’t recognize any right-of-use (“ROU”) assets or right-of-use lease liabilities in the condensed unaudited interim consolidated balance sheet as the Company only has one lease which has a term of less than 12 months. As a result of the adoption of Topic 842, there was no impact to opening accumulated deficit.

On January 10, 2013, the Company completed a private placement financing of the unsecured convertible 2013 Debenture in the original principal amount of $1.5 million, which was originally scheduled to mature on January 1, 2015. The 2013 Debenture bore interest at a rate of 12% per annum, payable monthly, was pre-payable at any time at the option of the Company and was convertible at any time into common shares at a conversion price of $30.00 per common share at the option of the holder.
 
Dr. Isa Odidi and Dr. Amina Odidi, shareholders, directors and executive officers of the Company purchased the 2013 Debenture and provided the Company with the original $1.5 million of the proceeds for the 2013 Debenture.
 
Effective October 1, 2014, the maturity date for the 2013 Debenture was extended to July 1, 2015. Under ASC 470-50, the change in the debt instrument was accounted for as a modification of debt. The increase in the fair value of the conversion option at the date of the modification, in the amount of $126,414, was recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the debt instrument with a corresponding increase to Additional paid-in capital. The carrying amount of the debt instrument was accreted over the remaining life of the 2013 Debenture using a 15% effective rate of interest.
 
Effective June 29, 2015, the July 1, 2015 maturity date for the 2013 Debenture was further extended to January 1, 2016. Under ASC 470-50, the change in the maturity date for the debt instrument resulted in an extinguishment of the original 2013 Debenture as the change in the fair value of the embedded conversion option was greater than 10% of the carrying amount of the 2013 Debenture. In accordance with ASC 470-50-40, the 2013 Debenture was recorded at fair value. The difference between the fair value of the convertible 2013 Debenture after the extension and the net carrying value of the 2013 Debenture prior to the extension of $114,023 was recognized as a loss on the statement of operations and comprehensive loss. The carrying amount of the debt instrument was accreted to the face amount of the 2013 Debenture over the remaining life of the 2013 Debenture using a 14.6% effective rate of interest.

Effective December 31, 2019, the December 31, 2019 maturity date for the May 2019 Debenture was further extended to February 1, 2020. Under ASC 470-50, the change in the debt instrument was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt. At the date of extinguishment, the Company derecognized the carrying amount of convertible debt of $1,050,000 and recorded the new convertible debt at the fair value of $1,050,000, resulting in no gain or loss. As the conversion price was lower than the market share price, the beneficial conversion feature valued at December 31, 2019 of $427,119 was allocated to Additional paid-in capital. Subsequently, the fair value of the May 2019 Debenture is accreted over the remaining life of the May 2019 Debenture using an effective rate of interest of 782.7%.
 
Effective January 31, 2020, the February 1, 2020 maturity date was further extended to March 31, 2020.

On September 10, 2018, the Company completed a private placement financing of the unsecured convertible 2018 Debenture in the principal amount of $0.5 million. The 2018 Debenture will mature on September 1, 2020. The 2018 Debenture bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum, payable monthly, is pre-payable at any time at the option of the Company and is convertible at any time into common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $3.00 per common share at the option of the holder. Dr. Isa Odidi and Dr. Amina Odidi, who are shareholders, directors and executive officers of the Company provided the Company with the $0.5 million of the proceeds for the 2018 Debenture.
 
At issuance, as the conversion price was lower than the market share price, the beneficial conversion feature valued at September 10, 2018 of $66,667 was allocated to Additional paid-in capital.

The Company incurred $15,800 in debt issuance costs of which $7,031 was debited to Additional paid-in capital and $8,769 was offset against the convertible debenture.
 
At issuance, as the conversion price was lower than the market share price, the beneficial conversion feature valued at August 26, 2019 of $62,655 was allocated to Additional paid-in capital. Subsequently, the fair value of the August 2019 Debenture is accreted over the remaining life of the August 2019 Debenture using an effective rate of interest of 77.1%.
 
In November 2019, the August 2019 Debenture was fully paid, and the value of the beneficial conversion feature was recalculated at settlement in the amount of $88,652, which was offset to Additional paid-in capital and $4,419 gain on settlement was recognized in the condensed unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

At issuance, as the conversion price was lower than the market share price, the beneficial conversion feature valued at November 15, 2019 of $41,667 was allocated to Additional paid-in capital. Subsequently, the fair value of the November 2019 Debenture is accreted over the remaining life of the November 2019 Debenture using an effective rate of interest of 152.4%.
 
Effective January 31, 2020, the December 31, 2019 maturity date for the November 2019 Debenture was further extended to March 31, 2020. Under ASC 470-50, the change in the debt instrument was accounted for as an extinguishment. In accordance with ASC 470-50-40-2, extinguishment transactions between related entities are treated as capital transactions. At the date of extinguishment, the Company derecognized the carrying amount of convertible debt of $250,000 and recorded the new convertible debt at the fair value of $250,000, resulting in no gain or loss. As the conversion price was lower than the market share price, the beneficial conversion feature valued at January 31, 2020 of $125,000 was allocated to Additional paid-in capital. Subsequently, the fair value of the November 2019 Debenture is accreted over the remaining life of the November 2019 Debenture using an effective rate of interest of 504.4%. Effective March 31, 2020, the maturity date for the November 2019 Debenture was further extended to May 15, 2020. Effective May 15, 2020, the maturity date for the November 2019 Debenture was further extended to June 12, 2020.
 
Accreted interest expense during the three months ended February 29, 2020 is $514,437 (three months ended February 28, 2019 - $7,937) and has been included in the condensed unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. In addition, the coupon interest on the 2013 Debenture, 2018 Debenture, May 2019 Debenture, August 2019 Debenture and November 2019 Debenture (collectively, the “Debentures”) for the three months ended February 29, 2020 is $50,078 (three months ended February 28, 2018 – $46,423) and has also been included in the condensed unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

(b)
In November 2013, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement with Roth Capital Partners, LLC (“Roth”), pursuant to which the Company originally could from time to time sell up to 530,548 of the Company’s common shares for up to an aggregate of $16.8 million (or such lesser amount as may then be permitted under applicable exchange rules and securities laws and regulations) through at-the-market issuances on Nasdaq or otherwise. Under the equity distribution agreement, the Company was able at its discretion, from time to time, to offer and sell common shares through Roth or directly to Roth for resale to the extent permitted under Rule 415 under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at such time and at such price as were acceptable to the Company by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on Nasdaq or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or as determined by the Company. The Company has paid Roth a commission, or allowed a discount, of 2.75% of the gross proceeds that the Company received from any sales of common shares under the equity distribution agreement. The Company also agreed to reimburse Roth for certain expenses relating to the at-the-market offering program. 
 
In March 2018, the Company terminated its continuous offering under the prospectus supplement dated July 18, 2017 and prospectus dated July 17, 2017 in respect of its at-the-market program.
 
The underwriting agreement relating to the October 2018 offering described in Note 6(e) restricts the Company’s ability to use this equity distribution agreement. It contains a prohibition on the Company: (i) for a period of two years following the date of the underwriting agreement, from directly or indirectly in any at-the-market or continuous equity transaction, offer to sell, or otherwise dispose of shares of capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for its shares of capital stock or (ii) for a period of five years following the closing, effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company of common shares or common share equivalents involving certain variable rate transactions under an at-the-market offering agreement, whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price, except that, on or after the date that is two years after the closing, the Company may enter into an at-the-market offering agreement. Moreover, currently the Company does not meet the requirements to utilize its Registration Statement on Form F-3 to issue any further securities under at-the-market equity program (or otherwise) under the Form F-3.

In October 2017, the Company completed a registered direct offering of 363,636 common shares at a price of $11.00 per share. The Company also issued to the investors warrants to purchase an aggregate of 181,818 common shares (the “October 2017 Warrants”). The warrants became exercisable six months following the closing date, will expire 30 months after the date they became exercisable, have a term of three years and have an exercise price of $12.50 per common share. The Company also issued to the placement agents warrants to purchase 18,181 common shares at an exercise price of $13.75 per share (the “October 2017 Placement Agent Warrants”). The holders of October 2017 Warrants and October 2017 Placement Agent Warrants are entitled to a cashless exercise under which the number of shares to be issued will be based on the number of shares for which warrants are exercised times the difference between the market price of the common share and the exercise price divided by the market price. The October 2017 Warrants and the October 2017 Placement Agent Warrants are considered to be indexed to the Company’s own stock and are therefore classified as equity under ASC topic 480 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.
 
The Company recorded $3,257,445 as the value of common shares under Capital stock and $742,555 as the value of the October 2017 Warrants under Additional paid-in capital in the

Options
 
All grants of options to employees after October 22, 2009 are made from the Employee Stock Option Plan (the “Employee Stock Option Plan”). The maximum number of common shares issuable under the Employee Stock Option Plan is limited to 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company from time to time, or 2,367,810 based on the number of issued and outstanding common shares as at February 29, 2020. As at February 29, 2020, 1,949,582 options are outstanding and there were 418,228 options available for grant under the Employee Stock Option Plan. Each option granted allows the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price not less than the closing price of the Company's common shares on the TSX on the last trading day prior to the grant of the option. Options granted under these plans typically have a term of 5 years with a maximum term of 10 years and generally vest over a period of up to three years.
 
In August 2004, the Board of Directors of IPC Ltd. approved a grant of 276,394 performance-based stock options, to two executives who were also the principal shareholders of IPC Ltd. The vesting of these options is contingent upon the achievement of certain performance milestones. A total of 276,394 performance-based stock options have vested as of February 29, 2020. Under the terms of the original agreement these options were to expire in September 2014. Effective March 27, 2014, the Company’s shareholders approved the two-year extension of the performance-based stock option expiry date to September 2016. Effective April 19, 2016, the Company’s shareholders approved a further two-year extension of the performance-based stock option expiry date to September 2018. Effective May 15, 2018, the Company’s shareholders approved a further two-year extension of the performance-based stock option expiry date to September 2020. These options were outstanding as at February 29, 2020.
 
In the three months ended February 29, 2020, Nil (three months ended February 28, 2019 – Nil) stock options were granted.
 
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Option-Pricing Model, consistent with the provisions of ASC topic 718. Option pricing models require the use of subjective assumptions, changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value of the options. The Company calculates expected volatility based on historical volatility of the Company’s peer group that is publicly traded for options that have an expected life that is more than nine years. For options that have an expected life of less than nine years the Company uses its own volatility. The expected term, which represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, is estimated based on the historical average of the term and historical exercises of the options. The risk-free rate assumed in valuing the options is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the option. The expected dividend yield percentage at the date of grant is Nil as the Company is not expected to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

Deferred share units
 
Effective May 28, 2010, the Company’s shareholders approved a Deferred Share Unit (“DSU”) Plan to grant DSUs to its non-management directors and reserved a maximum of 11,000 common shares for issuance under the plan. The DSU Plan permits certain non-management directors to defer receipt of all or a portion of their board fees until termination of the board service and to receive such fees in the form of common shares at that time. A DSU is a unit equivalent in value to one common share of the Company based on the trading price of the Company's common shares on the TSX.
 
Upon termination of board service, the director will be able to redeem DSUs based upon the then market price of the Company's common shares on the date of redemption in exchange for any combination of cash or common shares as the Company may determine.
 
During the three months ended February 29, 2020, no non-management board members elected to receive director fees in the form of DSUs under the Company’s DSU Plans. As at February 29, 2020, Nil (February 28, 2019 – 10,279) DSUs were outstanding and 11,000 (February 28, 2019 – 721) DSUs were available for grant under the DSU Plan.
 
During the three months ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, no DSUs were exercised.

Warrants
 
All of the Company’s outstanding warrants are considered to be indexed to the Company’s own stock and are therefore classified as equity under ASC 480. The warrants, in specified situations, provide for certain compensation remedies to a holder if the Company fails to timely deliver the shares underlying the warrants in accordance with the warrant terms.
 
In the underwritten public offering completed in June 2016, gross proceeds of $5,200,000 were received through the sale of the Company’s units comprised of common shares and warrants. The Company issued at the initial closing of the offering an aggregate of 322,981 common shares and warrants to purchase an additional 161,490 common shares, at a price of $16.10 per unit. The warrants are currently exercisable, have a term of five years and an exercise price of $19.30 per common share. The underwriter also purchased at such closing additional warrants (collectively with the warrants issued at the initial closing, the “June 2016 Warrants”) at a purchase price of $0.01 per warrant to acquire 24,223 common shares pursuant to the overallotment option exercised in part by the underwriter. The Company subsequently sold an aggregate of 45,946 additional common shares at the public offering price of $16.10 per share in connection with subsequent partial exercises of the underwriter’s overallotment option. The fair value of the June 2016 Warrants of $1,175,190 was initially estimated at closing using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, using volatility of 64.1%, risk free interest rate of 0.92%, expected life of 5 years, and dividend yield of Nil. The June 2016 Warrants currently outstanding are detailed below.
 
In the registered direct offering completed in October 2017, gross proceeds of $4,000,000 were received through the sale of the Company’s common shares and warrants. The Company issued at the closing of the offering an aggregate of 363,636 common shares at a price of $11.00 per share and warrants to
purchase an additional 181,818 common shares (the “October 2017 Warrants”). The October 2017 Warrants became exercisable six months following the closing date, will expire 30 months after the date they became exercisable, and have an exercise price of $12.50 per common share. The Company also issued the October 2017 Placement Agents Warrants to purchase 18,181 common shares at an exercise price of $13.75 per share. The holders of October 2017 Warrants and October 2017 Placement Agent Warrants are entitled to a cashless exercise under which the number of shares to be issued will be based on the number of shares for which warrants are exercised times the difference between the market price of the common share and the exercise price divided by the market price. The fair value of the October 2017 Warrants of $742,555 was initially estimated at closing using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, using volatility of 73.67%, risk free interest rate of 1.64%, expected life of 3 years, and dividend yield of Nil.
 
The fair value of the October 2017 Placement Agents Warrants was estimated at $86,196 using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, using volatility of 73.67%, a risk-free interest rate of 1.64%, an expected life of 3 years, and a dividend yield of Nil.
 
The October 2017 Warrants and the October 2017 Placement Agent Warrants currently outstanding are detailed below.
 
In the two registered direct offerings completed in March 2018, gross proceeds of $5,300,000 were received through the sale of the Company’s common shares and warrants. The Company issued at the closing of the offering an aggregate of 883,333 common shares at a price of $6.00 per share and the March 2018 Warrants to purchase an additional 441,666 common shares. The March 2018 Warrants became exercisable six months following the closing date, will expire 30 months after the date they became exercisable and have an exercise price of $6.00 per common share. The Company also issued the March 2018 Placement Agent Warrants to purchase 44,166 common shares at an exercise price of $7.50 per share. The holders of March 2018 Warrants and March 2018 Placement Agent Warrants are entitled to a cashless exercise under which the number of shares to be issued will be based on the number of shares for which warrants are exercised times the difference between the market price of the common share and
the exercise price divided by the market price. The fair value of the March 2018 Warrants of $1,115,480 was initially estimated at closing using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, using volatility of 70%, risk free interest rates of 2.44% and 2.46%, expected life of 3 years, and dividend yield of Nil.
 
The fair value of the March 2018 Placement Agent Warrants was estimated at $141,284 using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, using volatility of 70%, risk free interest rates of 2.44% and 2.46%, an

In October 2018, the Company completed an underwritten public offering in the United States, resulting in the sale to the public of 827,970 Units at $0.75 per Unit, which are comprised of one common share and one 2018 Unit Warrant (as defined above) exercisable at $0.75 per share. The Company concurrently sold an additional 1,947,261 common shares and 2018 Option Warrants to purchase 2,608,695 common shares exercisable at $0.75 per share pursuant to the overallotment option exercised in part by the underwriter. The price of the common shares issued in connection with exercise of the overallotment option was $0.74 per share and the price for the warrants issued in connection with the exercise of the overallotment option was $0.01 per warrant, less in each case the underwriting discount. In addition, the Company issued 16,563,335 2018 Pre-Funded Units (as defined above), each 2018 Pre-Funded Unit consisting of one 2018 Pre-Funded Warrant (as defined above) to purchase one common share and one 2018 Warrant (as defined above) to purchase one common share. The 2018 Pre-Funded Units were offered to the public at $0.74 each and a 2018 Pre-Funded Warrant is exercisable at $0.01 per share. Each 2018 Firm Warrant is exercisable immediately and has a term of five years and each 2018 Pre-Funded Warrant is exercisable immediately and until all 2018 Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised. The Company also issued the October 2018 Placement Agent Warrants to the placement agents to purchase 1,160,314 common shares at an exercise price of $0.9375 per share, which were exercisable immediately upon issuance. In aggregate, in October 2018, the Company issued 2,775,231 common shares, 16,563,335 2018 Pre-Funded Warrants and 20,000,000 2018 Firm Warrants in addition to 1,160,314 October 2018 Placement Agent Warrants.
 
The fair value of the 2018 Firm Warrants of $279,086 was initially estimated at closing using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, using volatility of 92%, risk free interest rate of 3.02%, expected life of 5 years, and dividend yield of Nil. The fair value of the October 2018 Placement Agents Warrants was estimated at $461,697 using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, using volatility of 92%, risk free interest rate of 3.02%, an expected life of 5 years, and a dividend yield of Nil.
 
The fair value of the 2018 Pre-Funded Warrant of $12,256,868 and the fair value of the 2018 Firm Warrants of $279,086, respectively, were recorded under Additional paid-in capital in the condensed unaudited interim consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity (deficiency).
 
 During the three months ended February 29, 2020, 1,616,667 (three months ended February 28, 2019 – 2,643,334) 2018 Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised cashless for proceeds of $Nil (three months ended February 28, 2019 - $26,454), and the Company recorded a charge of $583,180 (three months ended February 29, 2018 - $927,095) from Additional paid-in-capital to common shares under Capital stock. During the three months ended February 28, 2019, 1,030,000 common shares were issued in respect of 2018 Pre-Funded Warrants which were exercised as of November 30, 2018 but for which common shares were not yet issued as of November 30, 2018.
 
As at February 29, 2020, Nil (February 28, 2019 – 1,766,667) 2018 Pre-Funded Warrants are outstanding which are exercisable immediately at $0.01 per share.

Income taxes
 
The Company has had no taxable income under the Federal and Provincial tax laws of Canada for the three months ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019. The Company has non-capital loss carry-forwards at February 29, 2020, totaling $50,764,633 in Canada that must be offset against future taxable income. If not utilized, the loss carry-forwards will expire between 2028 and 2039.
 
For the three months ended February 29, 2020, the Company had a cumulative carry-forward pool of Canadian Federal Scientific Research & Experimental Development expenditures in the amount of approximately $20,250,000 which can be carried forward indefinitely.
 
For the three months ended February 29, 2020, the Company had approximately $3,770,000 of unclaimed Investment Tax Credits which expire from 2025 to 2039. These credits are subject to a full valuation allowance as they are not more likely than not to be realized.
 
11.
Contingencies
 
 From time to time, the Company may be exposed to claims and legal actions in the normal course of business. As at February 29, 2020, and continuing as at May 29, 2020, the Company is not aware of any pending or threatened material litigation claims against the Company, other than as described below.
 
In November 2016, the Company filed an NDA for its abuse-deterrent oxycodone hydrochloride extended release tablets (formerly referred to as RexistaTM) (“Oxycodone ER”) product candidate, relying on the 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway, which allowed the Company to reference data from Purdue Pharma L.P's (“Purdue”) file for its OxyContin® extended release oxycodone hydrochloride. The Oxycodone ER application was accepted by the FDA for further review in February 2017. The Company certified to the FDA that it believed that its Oxycodone ER product candidate would not infringe any of the OxyContin® patents listed in the Orange Book, or that such patents are invalid, and so notified Purdue and the other owners of the subject patents listed in the Orange Book of such certification.
 
On April 7, 2017, the Company received notice that Purdue Pharma L.P., Purdue Pharmaceuticals L.P., The P.F. Laboratories, Inc., or collectively the Purdue parties, Rhodes Technologies, and Grünenthal GmbH, or collectively the Purdue litigation plaintiffs, had commenced patent infringement proceedings against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (docket number 17-392) in respect of its NDA filing for Oxycodone ER, alleging that its proposed Oxycodone ER infringes 6 out of the 16 patents associated with the branded product OxyContin®, or the OxyContin® patents, listed in the Orange Book. The complaint seeks injunctive relief as well as attorneys' fees and costs and such other and further relief as the Court may deem just and proper. An answer and counterclaim have been filed.
 
Subsequent to the above-noted filing of lawsuit, 4 further such patents were listed and published in the Orange Book. The Company then similarly certified to the FDA concerning such further patents. On March 16, 2018, the Company received notice that the Purdue litigation plaintiffs had commenced further such patent infringement proceedings against the Company adding the 4 further patents. This lawsuit is also in the District of Delaware federal court under docket number 18-404.
 
As a result of the commencement of the first of these legal proceedings, the FDA is stayed for 30 months from granting final approval to the Company’s Oxycodone ER product candidate. That time period commenced on February 24, 2017, when the Purdue litigation plaintiffs received notice of the Company’s certification concerning the patents, and will expire on August 24, 2019, unless the stay is earlier terminated by a final declaration of the courts that the patents are invalid, or are not infringed, or the matter is otherwise settled among the parties.
 
On or about June 26, 2018 the court issued an order to sever 6 “overlapping” patents from the second Purdue case, but ordered litigation to proceed on the 4 new (2017-issued) patents. An answer and counterclaim were filed on July 9, 2018. The existence and publication of additional patents in the Orange Book, and litigation arising therefrom, is an ordinary and to be expected occurrence in the course of such litigation.
 
On July 6, 2018 the court issued a claims construction on the first case. The Company believes that it has non-infringement and/or invalidity defenses to all of the asserted claims of the subject patents in both of the cases and will vigorously defend against these claims.

Contingencies (continued)
 
On July 24, 2018, the parties to the case mutually agreed to dismiss the infringement claims related to the Grünenthal ‘060 patent. The Grünenthal ‘060 patent is one of the six patents included in the original litigation case, however, the dismissal does not by itself result in a termination of the 30-month litigation stay. Infringement claims related to this patent have been dismissed without prejudice.
 
On October 4, 2018, the parties to the 17-392 docket case mutually agreed to postpone the scheduled court date pending a case status conference scheduled for December 17, 2018. At that time, further trial scheduling and other administrative matters were postponed pending the Company’s resubmission of the Oxycodone ER NDA. That filing was timely filed at the end of February 2019. The trial in the 17-392 case was scheduled for November 12, 2019. On January 17, 2019, the court issued a scheduling order in 18-404 that schedules the remaining major portions. The trial in the 18-404 case was scheduled for June 2020.
 
The U.S. Federal Circuit Court of Appeal affirmed on April 4, 2019 the invalidity of one Purdue OxyContin® patent. The patent is: 9,060,976. The patent was nominally in the 17-392 and 18-404 cases. The invalidity ruling reduces yet another patent from the overall picture. However, it does not, by itself, eliminate the 30-month litigation stay in either docketed case.
 
On October 3, 2019 following the filing of a bankruptcy stay by Purdue Pharma, the ongoing litigation cases numbers 1:17-cv-00392-RGA and 1:18-cv-00404-RGA-SRF between Purdue Pharma L.P. et al and Intellipharmaceutics International have been stayed and the existing dates in both cases vacated by an order issued by the courts in the District of Delaware. No new dates were given for reinstatement; however, the parties are required to provide a further status report no later than March 13, 2020. During a status update March 13, 2020, the stay was ordered to be continued. The parties are required to submit a joint status report no less than two business days before June 3, 2020. On April 24, 2019, an order had been issued, setting the trial date for case number 17-392 in the District of Delaware, and also extending the 30-month stay date for regulatory approval to March 2, 2020. With the current litigation stay order, the previous 30-month stay date of March 2, 2020 was unchanged, and has now expired.
 
On 15 April 2020, Purdue filed a new patent infringement suit against the Company. The suit was filed in the District of Delaware, under docket number: 1:20-cv-00515. The new patent suit relates to additional Paragraph IV certifications lodged against Purdue’s patent numbers: 10,407,434 and 10,369,109. The new lawsuit has not yet been served on the Company. There is no formal court schedule on the new case yet.
  
The Company is confident that it does not infringe any of the subject patents in either of the two cases and will vigorously defend against these claims.
 
In July 2017, three complaints were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York that were later consolidated under the caption Shanawaz v. Intellipharmaceutics Int’l Inc., et al., No. 1:17-cv-05761 (S.D.N.Y.).  The lead plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint on January 29, 2018.  In the amended complaint, the lead plaintiffs assert claims on behalf of a putative class consisting of purchasers of the Company’s securities between May 21, 2015 and July 26, 2017. The amended complaint alleges that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by making allegedly false and misleading statements or failing to disclose certain information regarding the Company’s NDA for Oxycodone ER abuse-deterrent oxycodone hydrochloride extended release tablets.  The complaint seeks, among other remedies, unspecified damages, attorneys’ fees and other costs, equitable and/or injunctive relief, and such other relief as the court may find just and proper. 
 
On March 30, 2018, the Company and the other defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint for failure to state a valid claim.  The defendants’ motion to dismiss was granted in part, and denied in part, in an Order dated December 17, 2018. In its Order, the court dismissed certain of the plaintiffs’ securities claims to the extent that the claims were based upon statements describing the Oxycodone ER product’s abuse-deterrent features and its bioequivalence to OxyContin. However, the court allowed the claims to proceed to the extent plaintiffs challenged certain public statements describing the contents of the Company’s Oxycodone ER NDA.  Defendants filed an answer to the amended complaint on January 7, 2019. On February 5, 2019, the court held an initial pretrial conference and

entered a scheduling order governing discovery and class certification. In an order entered at the parties request on May 9, 2019, the Court stayed proceedings in the action to permit the parties time to conduct a mediation.  As a result of subsequent extensions, the stay was extended through October 10, 2019.  The parties participated in a mediation on August 1, 2019, during which the parties tentatively agreed to the terms of a settlement of the action subject to the satisfaction of certain financial conditions by the Company.  On October 10, 2019, the Company provided notice that it was not able to satisfy those conditions.  As a result, it is possible that the parties will resume active litigation in the action in the near future.  If a settlement does not go forward, the Company and the other defendants intend to vigorously defend themselves against the remainder of the claims asserted in the consolidated action.
 
On November 7, 2019, the Company announced that the parties in Shanawaz v. Intellipharmaceutics International, Inc., an action pending in New York reached a settlement that is subject to the approval of the court following notice to class members. The stipulation of settlement provides for a settlement payment of US$1.6 million, which Intellipharmaceutics anticipates will be funded by available insurance.
 
As part of the settlement, the Company also agreed to contribute to the settlement fund specific anticipated Canadian tax refunds of up to US$400,000 to the extent received within 18 months after the entry of final judgment. The stipulation acknowledges that the Company and the other defendants continue to deny that they committed any violation of the U.S. securities laws or engaged in any other wrongdoing and that they are entering into the settlement at this time based on the burden, expense, and inherent uncertainty of continuing the litigation.
 
Although the Company believes that the settlement represents a fair and reasonable compromise of the matters in dispute in the litigation, there can be no assurance that the court will approve the stipulation of settlement as proposed, or at all. If the stipulation of settlement is not approved or otherwise fails to become effective, then the parties will be returned to their respective positions in the litigation as of August 9, 2019. Given the lack of activity for the past several months, plaintiffs’ counsel filed on March 11, 2020, a letter on behalf of all parties jointly requesting a conference with the Court about the preliminary approval motion for the settlement.
 
On February 21, 2019, the Company and its CEO, Dr. Isa Odidi (“Defendants”), were served with a Statement of Claim filed in the Superior Court of Justice of Ontario (“Court”) for a proposed class action under the Ontario Class Proceedings Act (“Action”). The Action was brought by Victor Romita, the proposed representative plaintiff (“Plaintiff”), on behalf of a class of Canadian persons (“Class”) who traded shares of the Company during the period from February 29, 2016 to July 26, 2017 (“Period”). The Statement of Claim, under the caption Victor Romita v. Intellipharmaceutics International Inc. and Isa Odidi, asserts that the Defendants knowingly or negligently made certain public statements during the Period that contained or omitted material facts concerning Oxycodone ER abuse-deterrent oxycodone hydrochloride extended release tablets. The Plaintiff alleges that he and the Class suffered loss and damages as a result of their trading in the Company’s shares during the Period. The Plaintiff seeks, among other remedies, unspecified damages, legal fees and court and other costs as the Court may permit. On February 26, 2019, the Plaintiff delivered a Notice of Motion seeking the required approval from the Court, in accordance with procedure under the Ontario Securities Act, to allow the statutory claims under the Ontario Securities Act to proceed with respect to the claims based upon the acquisition or disposition of the Company’s shares on the TSX during the Period (“Motion”). On June 28, 2019, the Court endorsed a timetable for the exchange of material leading to the hearing of the Motion scheduled for January 27-28, 2020. No date has been set for the hearing of the certification application. On October 28, 2019, plaintiff’s counsel advised the court that the Plaintiff intended to amend his claim and could not proceed with the Leave Motion scheduled for January 27-28, 2020. As such the Court released those dates. On January 28, 2020 the plaintiff served a Notice of Motion for leave to amend the Statement of Claim. On April 2, 2020 the plaintiff delivered an Amended Motion Record and Amended Notice of Motion seeking an order for leave to issue a fresh as Amended Statement of Claim including the addition of Christopher Pearce as a Plaintiff (“Amendment Motion”). On May 1, 2020, Mr. Justice Morgan granted the plaintiff’s Amendment Motion. The Leave Motion is currently scheduled to proceed on 13-14 October 2020. No date has been set for the hearing of the certification

application. The Company and Dr. Odidi intend to vigorously defend the action and have filed a Notice of Intent to Defend.
 
On October 7, 2019, a complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York by Alpha Capital Anstalt (“Alpha”) against the Company, two of its existing officers and directors and its former Chief Financial Officer.   In the complaint, Alpha alleges that the Company and the executive officers/directors named in the complaint violated Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by allegedly making false and misleading statements in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F-1 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 20, 2018, as amended (the “Registration Statement”) by failing to disclose certain information regarding the resignation of the Company’s then Chief Financial Officer, which was announced several weeks after the Registration Statement was declared effective.  In the complaint Alpha seeks unspecified damages, rescission of its purchase of the Company’s securities in the relevant offering, attorneys’ fees and other costs and further relief as the court may find just and proper. On December 12, 2019, the Company and the other defendants in the action filed a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim. The Plaintiff filed an opposition to that motion on February 4, 2020 and a reply brief in further support of the motion to dismiss the action was filed March 6, 2020. In addition, the Court scheduled a mandatory settlement conference with the Magistrate Judge for April 23, 2020 which the Company and counsel attended. The Company and other defendants intend to vigorously defend against the allegations set forth in the complaint. However, there can be no assurance that the case can be resolved in the Company's favor.

On May 28, 2020 the Company became aware that a former employee filed a statement of claim in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (CV-20-00641581-0000) against the Company and it’s directors. The claims seek damages for unpaid wages, wrongful dismissal, manner of dismissal plus other compensation claims and special damages to be specified at a later date. The Company has not been served but the claim has been issued and the Company has notice of it. If served, the Company and other defendants intend to vigorously defend against the allegations set forth in the complaint. However, there can be no assurance that the case can be resolved in the Company's favor.
 
Subsequent to February 29, 2020, the Company received demand letters from their landlord for amounts owing. Amounts in question are fully accrued for and included in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and employee costs payable in the condensed unaudited interim balance sheets. The Company is in negotiations and management believes that amounts accrued are sufficient to cover the liabilities.

Financial instruments
 
(a)
Fair values 
 
The Company follows ASC topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of ASC topic 820 apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. ASC topic 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.
 
Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, the fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels.
 
The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:
 
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
 
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for asset or liabilities.
 
The categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
 
(i)
The Company calculates fair value of the options and warrants using its own historical volatility (Level 1).
 
(ii)
The Company calculates the interest rate for the conversion option based on the Company’s estimated cost of raising capital (Level 2).
 
An increase/decrease in the volatility and/or a decrease/increase in the discount rate would have resulted in an increase/decrease in the fair value of the conversion option and warrants.

 (i) The Company calculates the interest rate for the Debentures and promissory notes payable based on the Company’s estimated cost of raising capital and uses the discounted cash flow model to calculate the fair value of the Debentures and the promissory notes payable.
 
The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and employee cost payable approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

(b)
Interest rate and credit risk
 
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument might be adversely affected by a change in interest rates. The Company does not believe that the results of operations or cash flows would be affected to any significant degree by a sudden change in market interest rates, relative to interest rates on cash and the convertible debenture due to the short-term nature of these obligations. Trade accounts receivable potentially subjects the Company to credit risk. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated losses expected to be incurred in the collection of accounts receivable.
 
The following table sets forth details of the aged accounts receivable that are not overdue as well as an analysis of overdue amounts and the related allowance for doubtful accounts:

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of uncollateralized accounts receivable. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the potential amount of financial assets. For the three months ended February 29, 2020, one customer accounted for substantially all the revenue and all the accounts receivable of the Company. For the three months ended February 28, 2019 two customers accounted for substantially all the revenue and all the accounts receivable of the Company. The Company is also exposed to credit risk at period end from the carrying value of its cash. The Company manages this risk by maintaining bank accounts with a Canadian Chartered Bank. The Company’s cash is not subject to any external restrictions.

Financial instruments (continued)
 
(c)
Foreign exchange risk
 
The Company has balances in Canadian dollars that give rise to exposure to foreign exchange risk relating to the impact of translating certain non-U.S. dollar balance sheet accounts as these statements are presented in U.S. dollars. A strengthening U.S. dollar will lead to a foreign exchange loss while a weakening U.S. dollar will lead to a foreign exchange gain. For each Canadian dollar balance of $1.0 million, a +/- 10% movement in the Canadian currency held by the Company versus the U.S. dollar would affect the Company’s loss and other comprehensive loss by $0.1 million.
 
(d)
Liquidity risk
 
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty raising liquid funds to meet its commitments as they fall due. In meeting its liquidity requirements, the Company closely monitors its forecasted cash requirements with expected cash drawdown.

Subsequent event
 
In December 2019, there was a global outbreak of COVID-19 (coronavirus), which has had a significant impact on businesses through the restrictions put in place by the national, provincial and municipal governments around the world regarding travel, business operations and isolation and quarantine orders. At this time, it is unknown the extent of the impact the COVID-19 outbreak may have on the Company in the long term as this will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and that cannot be predicted with confidence. These uncertainties arise from the inability to predict the ultimate duration of the outbreak, including the duration of travel restrictions, business closures or disruptions, quarantine and isolation measures that are currently, or may be put, in place by Canada, United States of America and other countries to fight the virus.
