Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of presentation

Basis of presentation

These unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and on a basis consistent with those accounting principles followed by the Corporation and disclosed in note 2 of its most recent Annual Consolidated Financial Statements, except as disclosed in note 3 – Recent accounting pronouncements and policies and should be read in conjunction with such statements and notes thereto.

Functional Currency

Functional currency

On April 1, 2022, the Corporation’s functional currency was changed from the Canadian dollar to the US dollar. This change is reflected prospectively in the Corporation’s financial statements.

FASB ASC Topic 830, “Functional Currency Matters,” requires a change in functional currency to be reported as of the date it is determined there has been a change, and it is generally accepted practice that the change is made at the start of the most recent period that approximates the date of the change. Management determined it would enact this change effective on April 1, 2022. While the change was based on a factual assessment, the determination of the date of the change required management’s judgement given the change in the Corporations primary economic and business environment, which has evolved over time. As part of management’s functional currency assessment, changes in economic facts and circumstances were considered. This included analysis of changes in: impact of the merger with Grace Therapeutics, management of operations, and in the composition of cash and short term investment

balances. Additionally, budgeting is in USD, whereas this was previously performed in CAD. The Corporations cash outflows consist primarily of USD cash balances and less of CAD, as also reflected in the budget.

Use of estimates

Use of estimates

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that management may undertake in the future. 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.

Estimates and assumptions include the measurement of derivative warrant liabilities (note 7), stock-based compensation (note 10), assets held for sale (note 6), supply agreement (note 12), valuation of intangibles (note 4). Estimates and assumptions are also involved in measuring the accrual of services rendered with respect to research and development expenditures at each reporting date, including whether contingencies should be accrued for, as well as in determining which research and development expenses qualify for investment tax credits and in what amounts. The Corporation recognizes the tax credits once it has reasonable assurance that they will be realized. Recorded tax credits are subject to review and approval by tax authorities and, therefore, could be different from the amounts recorded.
