Basis of preparation of financial statements

(a)

Statement of compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and Interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 Interim Financial Reporting and have been prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of application as those used in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on May 30, 2022.

Basis of preparation of financial statements (continued)

(b)

Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for contingent consideration and the investment in Sensible Medical which are measured at fair value.

On March 11, 2020, the COVID -19 outbreak was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The outbreak and efforts to contain the virus may have a significant impact on the Company’s business. The COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. These measures, which include the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing, have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. A prolonged economic shutdown could result in purchase order delays or the inability to collect receivables and it is possible that in the future there will be negative impacts on the Company’s operations that could have a material adverse effect on its financial results. Although the Company has adjusted some of its operating procedures in response to COVID-19, operations have not experienced any significant negative impact to date. The extent to which the pandemic impacts future operations and financial results, and the duration of any such impact, depends on future developments, which are highly uncertain and unknown at this time.

(c)

Functional and presentation currency

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

(d)

Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Information about key assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are included in the following notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021:

•

Note 3(c)(ii): The valuation of the royalty obligation

•

Note 3(e): The accruals for returns, chargebacks, rebates and discounts

Chargebacks are considered the most significant estimates and result from wholesalers selling the Company’s products to end hospitals at prices lower than the wholesaler acquisition cost, which results in variable consideration for the Company. The provision is estimated using historical chargeback experience, timing of actual chargebacks processed during the year, expected chargeback levels based on the remaining products in the wholesaler distribution channel and pricing differences. Estimating the chargeback accrual is complex and judgmental due to the level of uncertainty involved in management’s estimates for product that remains in the wholesaler distribution channel as period end, the extent of product sales that were expected to be subject to chargebacks and pricing differences.

•

Note 3(i): The measurement and useful lives of intangible assets

•

Note 3(o): The measurement of the amount and assessment of the recoverability of income tax assets and income tax provisions

(d)

Use of estimates and judgments (continued)

•

Note 3(q): The measurement and valuation of intangible assets and contingent consideration acquired and recorded as business combinations

•

Note 3(I): Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company’s annual goodwill impairment test is based on value-in-use calculations that use a discounted cash flow model. These calculations require the use of estimates and forecasts of future cash flows. The recoverable amount is most sensitive to the discount rate, revenue growth rate, and operating margin. A change in any of the significant assumptions or estimates used to evaluate goodwill could result in a material change to the results of operations. The key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount are further explained in note 9 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

In September 2019 the Company acquired ownership of ZYPITAMAG^® for the U.S. and Canadian markets. Under terms of the agreement, Zydus received an upfront payment of U.S. $5,000 (CDN $6,622) and U.S. $2,000 (CDN $2,649) in deferred payments to be paid in equal instalments annually over the next four years, as well as contingent payments on the achievement of milestones and royalties related to net sales. The Company previously had acquired U.S. marketing rights with a profit-sharing arrangement. With this acquisition the Company obtained full control of marketing and pricing negotiation for ZYPITAMAG^®. Upon completion of the acquisition $8,930 was recorded within patents and drug approvals relating to the upfront and deferred payments and $1,457 was transferred from licenses to patents and drug approvals pertaining to the cost of the previously acquired license over ZYPITAMAG^®. The fair value of the remaining deferred payments of $634 and $591 is recorded on the statement of financial position within current portion of acquisition payable and acquisition payable, respectively. The initial amortization period pertaining to the ZYPITAMAG^® intangible assets was 4.3 years. During the year-ended December 31, 2021, management applied a prospective change to the amortization period of ZYPITAMAG^® license to extend the amortization period of the asset by 7 years, consistent with the term of the licensing agreement. The remaining amortization period of the ZYPITAMAG^® license is 8.8 years as at March 31, 2022.

Intangible assets (continued)

During the period-ended March 31, 2022, the Company capitalized costs pertaining to the development of its e-commerce website and has classified these costs under the software category within the intangible asset schedule above. As at March 31, 2022, the e-commerce website is still under development, and as a result, the Company has not recorded any amortization during the current year in relation to this intangible asset.

The Company had determined there were no indicators of impairment as at March 31, 2022.

As at March 31, 2022, intangible assets pertaining to AGGRASTAT^® were fully amortized.

Royalty obligation

On July 18, 2011, the Company settled its then existing long-term debt with Birmingham Associates Ltd. ("Birmingham"), an affiliate of Elliott Associates L.P., in exchange for i) $4,750 in cash; ii) 2,176,003 common shares of the Company; and iii) a royalty on future AGGRASTAT^® sales until May 1, 2023. The royalty is based on 4% of the first $2,000 of quarterly AGGRASTAT^® sales, 6% on the portion of quarterly sales between $2,000 and $4,000 and 8% on the portion of quarterly sales exceeding $4,000 payable within 60 days of the end of the preceding three-month periods ended February 28, May 31, August 31 and November 30. Birmingham has a one-time option to switch the royalty payment from AGGRASTAT^® to a royalty on the sale of MC-1. Management determined there is no value to the option to switch the royalty to MC-1 as the product is not commercially available for sale and the extended long-term development timelines associated with commercialization of the product.

In accordance with the terms of the agreement, if the Company were to dispose of its AGGRASTAT^® rights, the acquirer would be required to assume the obligations under the royalty agreement.

The royalty obligation was recorded at its fair value at the date at which the liability was incurred and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method at each reporting date. This resulted in a carrying value as at March 31, 2022 of $377 (December 31, 2021 - $488) of which $361 (December 31, 2021 - $423) represents the current portion of the royalty obligation. The net change in the royalty obligation for the three months ended March 31, 2022 of $3 (2021 - $17) is recorded within finance expense, net on the condensed consolidated interim statements of net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). Royalties for the three months ended March 31, 2022 totaled $117 (2021 - $105) with no payments made during the three months ended March 31, 2022 (2021 - $99).

Government assistance

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company did not record any government assistance resulting from the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (2021 - $41). For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the funding has been recorded as a reduction of the related salary expenditures with $27 recorded within selling expenses, $9 recorded within general and administrative expenses and $5 recorded within research and development expenses. There was no government assistance recorded within accounts receivable as at March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

The expected life of stock options is based on historical data and current expectations and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility over a period similar to the life of the options is indicative of future trends, which may not necessarily be the actual outcome.

Commitments and contingencies

(a)

Commitments

As at March 31, 2022, and in the normal course of business, the Company has obligations to make future payments representing contracts and other commitments that are known and committed as follows:

2022 - remaining	$	1,945
2023		187
2024		187
	$	2,319

The Company has entered into a manufacturing and supply agreement to purchase a minimum quantity of AGGRASTAT^®unfinished product inventory totaling US$150 annually (based on current pricing) until 2024 and a minimum quantity of AGGRASTAT® finished product inventory totaling US$225 annually (based on current pricing) until 2022 and #eu#525 annually (based on current pricing) until 2022.

Effective January 1, 2022, the Company renewed its business and administration services agreement with GVI, as described in note 10(b), under which the Company is committed to pay $7 per month or $85 per year for a one-year term.

Contracts with contract research organizations are payable over the terms of the associated agreements and clinical trials and timing of payments is largely dependent on various milestones being met, such as the number of patients recruited, number of monitoring visits conducted, the completion of certain data management activities, trial completion, and other trial related activities.

(b)

Guarantees

The Company periodically enters into research agreements with third parties that include indemnification provisions customary in the industry. These guarantees generally require the Company to compensate the other party for certain damages and costs incurred as a result of claims arising from research and development activities undertaken on behalf of the Company. In some cases, the maximum potential amount of future payments that could be required under these indemnification provisions could be unlimited. These indemnification provisions generally survive termination of the underlying agreement. The nature of the indemnification obligations prevents the Company from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount it could be required to pay. Historically, the Company has not made any indemnification payments under such agreements and no amount has been accrued in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements with respect to these indemnification obligations.

Royalties

As a part of the Birmingham debt settlement described in note 6, beginning on July 18, 2011, the Company is obligated to pay a royalty to Birmingham based on future commercial AGGRASTAT^® sales until 2023. The royalty is based on 4% of the first $2,000 of quarterly AGGRASTAT^® sales, 6% on the portion of quarterly sales between $2,000 and $4,000 and 8% on the portion of quarterly sales exceeding $4,000 payable within 60 days of the end of the preceding three-month periods ended February 28, May 31, August 31 and November 30. Birmingham has a one-time option to switch the royalty payment from AGGRASTAT^® to a royalty on the sale of MC-1. Management has determined there is no value to the option to switch the royalty to MC-1 as the product is not commercially available for sale and the extended long-term development timeline associated with commercialization of the product. Royalties for the three months ended March 31, 2022 totaled $117 (2021 - $105) with no payments made during the three months ended March 31, 2022 (2021 - $99).

Beginning with the acquisition of ZYPITAMAG^® (note 5), completed on September 30, 2019, the Company is obligated to pay royalties to Zydus subsequent to the acquisition date on net sales of ZYPITAMAG^®. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded $40 (2021 - $5) in royalties in regards to ZYPITAMAG^® which is recorded within cost of goods sold on the condensed consolidated interim statement of net income (loss) and comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and had $179 recorded within accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position as at March 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - $72) pertaining to royalties in regards to ZYPITAMAG^®.

Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company may from time to time be subject to various claims or possible claims. Although management currently believes there are no claims or possible claims that if resolved would either individually or collectively result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, these matters are inherently uncertain and management’s view of these matters may change in the future.

During 2015, the Company began a development project of a cardiovascular generic drug in collaboration with Apicore. The Company has entered into a supply and development agreement under which the Company holds all commercial rights to the drug. In connection with this project, the Company is obligated to pay Apicore 50% of net profit from the sale of this drug. On August 13, 2018, the Company announced that the FDA has approved its ANDA for SNP, a generic intravenous cardiovascular product and the product became available commercially during the third quarter of 2019. To date, no amounts are due and/or payable pertaining to profit sharing on this product.
