Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

For the Three and Nine Months Ended October 31, 2022 and 2021

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

(Unaudited)

 

1. Nature of Operations and Going Concern

 

BetterLife Pharma Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in British Columbia under the Business Corporations Act on June 10, 2002 whose common shares are publicly traded on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol “BETR”. The Company is a biopharmaceutical company engaged in the development and commercialization of patented, differentiated and premium quality pharmaceuticals.

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, no adjustments to the carrying value of the assets and liabilities have been made in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements should the Company no longer be able to continue as a going concern. Any such adjustments could be material. As at October 31, 2022, the Company has not earned any revenue and has an accumulated deficit of $111,557,390. The continued operations of the Company are dependent on its ability to generate future cash flows through additional financing or commercialization, which have been impacted as a result of the global outbreak of coronavirus (“COVID-19”), weakening of capital markets and global economic impact from the Russia-Ukraine war. Management intends to continue to pursue additional financing through issuances of equity. There is no assurance that additional funding will be available on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to the Company. These events or conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that casts substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The head office and principal address of the Company is located at 1275 West 6th Avenue, #300, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6H 1A6.

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

 

(a) Basis of Compliance

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee.

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, using accounting policies which are consistent with IFRS as issued by the IASB. They do not include all of the information required for full annual consolidated financial statements in compliance with IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements.

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the most recent annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2022 and should be read in conjunction with those audited consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorized for issue on December 22, 2022.

 

(b) Basis of Measurement and Presentation

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for share-based payment transactions and certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value, and are presented in Canadian dollars.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

(c) Basis of Consolidation

 

Subsidiaries

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company. Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which the Company obtains control and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. The Company has consolidated the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of its subsidiaries after the elimination of inter-company transactions and balances.

 

The consolidating entities include:

Non-controlling interests

Non-controlling interests (“NCI”) are measured at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition. Changes to the Company’s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.

 

(d) Use of Estimates and Judgments

 

The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and 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 the Company 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 estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

 

For critical judgments used by management, refer to the Company’s most recent annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2022.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

(e) Foreign Currency

 

The Company’s presentation currency is the Canadian dollar. The functional currency of the parent entity, BetterLife Pharma Inc., and its subsidiaries, MedMelior Inc. and Blife Therapeutics Inc., is the Canadian dollar. The functional currency of the U.S. subsidiaries, Altum S1M US Corp., BetterLife Pharma US Inc. and Thrudermic, LLC, is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the European subsidiaries, BetterLife Europe Pharmaceuticals AG and Solmic AG, is Swiss Francs. The functional currency of the Hong Kong subsidiary, Altum Pharmaceuticals (HK) Limited, is the Hong Kong dollar. The functional currency of the Australian subsidiary, Altum Pharma (Australia) Pty Ltd., is the Australian dollar.

 

Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of the Company and its subsidiaries at the exchange rate in effect at the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in other than the functional currency are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the financial position date. The resulting exchange gains and losses are recognized in the condensed consolidated interim statements of comprehensive loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in other than the functional currency that are measured at fair value are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value is determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in other than the functional currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of transaction.

 

Foreign operations

For consolidation purposes, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated to the presentation currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the financial position date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to the presentation currency using the average rates of exchange during the period. All resulting exchange differences are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) and accumulated in a separate component of equity or deficit, described as foreign currency translation adjustment.

 

(f) Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

Comprehensive income or loss is the change in net assets arising from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Financial assets that are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income will have revaluation gains and losses included in other comprehensive income or loss until the asset is removed from the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position. Certain gains and losses on the translation of amounts between the functional and presentation currency of the Company are included in other comprehensive income or loss.

 

(g) Income (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company presents the basic and diluted earnings or loss per share data for its common shares, calculated by dividing the earnings or loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings or loss per share is determined by adjusting the earnings or loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares.

3. New Accounting Pronouncements

 

The following new accounting standards and interpretations will be adopted by the Company subsequent to October 31, 2022.

 

(a) IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements

 

IAS 1 has been revised to (i) clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current should be based on rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period and align the wording in all affected paragraphs to refer to the “right” to defer settlement by at least twelve months and make explicit that only rights in place “at the end of the reporting period” should affect the classification of a liability; (ii) clarify that classification is unaffected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of a liability; and (iii) make clear that settlement refers to the transfer to the counterparty of cash, equity instruments, other assets or services. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 and are to be applied retrospectively. Earlier application is permitted.

 

IAS 1 has also been amended to help preparers in deciding which accounting policies to disclose in their financial statements. The amendments are to be applied prospectively and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. Earlier application is permitted. The Company does not expect the revisions to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

(b) IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors

 

IAS 8 has been amended to introduce the definition of an accounting estimate and include other amendments to help entities distinguish changes in accounting estimates from changes in accounting policies. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 and changes in accounting policies and changes in accounting estimates that occur on or after the start of that period. Earlier application is permitted. The Company does not expect the amendment to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

The following new accounting standards and interpretations were adopted by the Company at February 1, 2022.

 

(c) IAS 16 – Property, Plant and Equipment (“IAS 16”)

 

IAS 16 has been amended to prohibit a company from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while the company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, a company will recognize such sales proceeds and related cost in profit or loss. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The amendment did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 

(d) IAS 37 – Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (“IAS 37”)

 

IAS 37 has been amended to clarify that for the purpose of assessing whether a contract is onerous, the cost of fulfilling the contract includes both the incremental costs of fulfilling that contract and an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The amendment did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

4. Sale of Assets

 

On December 17, 2021, the Company signed a share contract with an unrelated third party (the “BetterLife Europe Purchaser”) for the sale of 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of BetterLife Europe Pharmaceuticals AG (“BetterLife Europe”). Pursuant to the sale of BetterLife Europe, the Company’s Solmic patents, having a carrying amount of $nil, and Solmic AG, fully-owned subsidiary of BetterLife Europe, were transferred to the BetterLife Europe Purchaser and the Company is no longer pursuing commercialization of cannabis products in Europe. Consideration of the sale was $246,041 (€170,000).

 

The Company evaluated the disposal of BetterLife Europe in accordance with IFRS 5, Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, and determined that it did not meet the definition of discontinued operations as it did not represent a separate major line of business.

Unless otherwise specified in a Prospectus Supplement, the net proceeds from the sale of Securities may be used for general corporate and working capital requirements, funding product program costs, or for other corporate purposes. Each Prospectus Supplement will contain specific information concerning the use of proceeds from that sale of the Securities. There is no certainty that any Securities will be offered or sold under the Shelf Prospectus within the 25-month period. During the nine months ended October 31, 2021, the Company incurred $77,195 of costs related to the filing of the Shelf Prospectus.

Compensation options entitle the holder to purchase one unit, consisting of one common share and one share purchase warrant with exercise price of $0.50 and expiry of May 28, 2024, at an exercise price of $0.40 per unit and expires on May 28, 2024. Fair values of the compensation options were determined using the fair values of the common shares issued as values of services provided could not be estimated reliably. The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the compensation options.

 

(k) On June 7, 2021, the Company closed on a marketed public offering and issued, under the Shelf Prospectus (Note 9(h)), 6,525,000 units at price of $0.40 per unit for gross proceeds of $2,610,000. Each unit consisted of one common share and one share purchase warrant entitling the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $0.50 and expiring of May 28, 2021. The residual method was used to allocate the proceeds between the common shares and the warrants which resulted in a value of $685,125 allocated to the warrants.

 

Share issue costs totaling $481,739 consisted of the following: 652,750 compensation options with fair value of $152,653, agent’s fee of $261,000 and other transaction costs of $68,086.

Fair values of the compensation options were determined using the fair values of the common shares issued as values of services provided could not be estimated reliably. The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the compensation options.

 

(l) On June 25, 2021, the Company closed on a partial exercise of the over-allotment option in conjunction with its marketed public offering (Note 9(k)) and issued, under the Shelf Prospectus (Note 9(h)), 500,000 units at price of $0.40 per unit and 478,750 share purchase warrants at a price of $0.0563 per share purchase warrant for gross proceeds of $226,954. Each unit consisted of one common share and one share purchase warrant entitling the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $0.50 and expiring of May 28, 2021. The residual method was used to allocate the proceeds between the common shares and the warrants which resulted in a value of $52,500 allocated to the warrants. Each share purchase warrant issued entitles the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $0.50 and expires on May 28, 2021.

 

Share issue costs totaling $44,895 consisted of 50,000 compensation options with fair value of $11,613 entitling the holder to purchase one unit, consisting of one common share and one share purchase warrant with exercise price of $0.50 and expiry of May 28, 2024, at an exercise price of $0.40 per unit and expires on May 28, 2024, 47,875 compensation options with fair value of $6,586 entitling the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $0.50 per share and expires on May 28, 2024, agent’s fee of $22,696 and other transaction costs of $4,000.

10. Share Purchase Warrants

 

(a) Warrant liabilities

 

When non-compensatory warrants have an exercise price denominated in a currency which is different from the functional currency of the Company (Canadian dollar), the warrants are treated as financial liabilities. These warrants are therefore classified as financial liabilities with changes in fair value recognized in the condensed consolidated interim statements of comprehensive loss. The warrant liabilities are measured using Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy.

16. Commitments and Contingencies

 

(a) In November 2019, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer filed an originating application with the Superior Court in the province of Quebec for damages stemming from a termination of employment. The former Chief Executive Officer is seeking payment of amounts totaling approximately $1 million, exercisability of his stock options until the original expiry dates, issuance of 600,000 stock options and an order that the Company not issue further common shares. The Company believes the claim is unfounded and intends to vigorously defend these claims.

 

(b) In March 2021, Olymbec Development Inc. (“Olymbec”) filed a judicial demand before the Superior Court (Civil Division) of Quebec and a judgement for a safeguard order was obtained by Olymbec against Pivot, a former subsidiary, and the Company, as guarantor of the lease at 285-295 Kesmark Street, Quebec (the “Lease”), ordering Pivot and the Company to jointly pay the full amount of the Lease on the first day of each month. In May 2021, a judgement for a safeguard order was issued ordering Pivot and the Company to provide post-dated cheques for monthly lease payments for the months of June through November 2021. In June 2021, a judgement granted Pivot and the Company until June 30, 2021 to pay the outstanding lease totaling $124,223 and to deliver post-dated cheques each in the amount of $49,410.51 for monthly lease payments for the months of July through November 2021, which were completed. Olymbec is also claiming administrative fees of approximately $36,500 resulting from Pivot’s default on its monthly lease. The Company is assessing options available to contest the judicial demand from Olymbec and mitigate its damages. The Company has not accrued any amounts as of October 31, 2022 as management has assessed the likelihood of payment to be unlikely.

 

(c) The Company is a guarantor on the Lease (Note 16(b)), which was assigned together with the sale of Pivot in December 2020 pursuant to which the Company has recorded an allowance for financial guarantee liability of $1,194,916 (January 31, 2022 - $1,083,295) based on its best estimate of potential future loss.

In October 2021, the Company filed an application for a bankruptcy order (“Application”) against Pivot in the Superior Court (Commercial Division) of Quebec. Pivot is the lessee of the “Lease and had not met its Lease liabilities upon which the Company, as guarantor, was required to meet following the safeguard orders issued by the Superior Court (Civil Division) of Quebec (Note 16(b)). In March 2022, the Company and Pivot signed a settlement agreement pursuant to which Pivot would make a lump sum payment of $300,000 to the Company as follows: $150,000 on or before April 1, 2022 and $150,000 on or before May 31, 2022 (the “Transaction”), which was homologated by the Superior Court (Commercial Division) of Quebec on March 28, 2022. During the three and nine months ended October 31, 2022, $nil and $300,000 of settlement income, respectively, has been recorded in settlements, net on the condensed consolidated interim statements of comprehensive loss. On June 13, 2022, the Application was withdrawn by the Company.

 

(d) The Company and MedMelior were named as defendants in a lawsuit before the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County (“State Court”) by a former director of MedMelior, who served as director prior to MedMelior’s amalgamation with the Company. This former director filed the verified complaint on January 20, 2022, seeking compensatory and punitive damages in amounts believed by the Company to be in excess of US$2 million and US$10 million, respectively. During March 2022, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on the basis of inconvenient forum and for lack of jurisdiction. On December 1, 2022, following oral argument on the motion, the State Court dismissed the complaint in its entirety. On April 29, 2022, in response to the Company’s then-pending motion to dismiss, the former director filed a separate, parallel action, naming the Company and MedMelior before the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, asserting substantially the same claims as in the State Court action. The Company believes that lawsuit to be unfounded and has filed a motion to dismiss, substantially similar to the motion granted by the State Court.

 

(e) In January 2022, a statement of claim was filed against the Company by a third party for breach of a marketing contract in the amount of $64,500, which has been included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, plus interest and costs. The Company denies the claim and filed a statement of defense and counterclaim in April 2022. In June and November 2022, this third party filed a reply and defense to the Company’s counterclaim.

 

(f) At October 31, 2022, certain of the Company’s research and development programs, with a total contracted amount of $6.0 million, were in progress of which the Company has paid $3.4 million and a further $2.6 million remains to be paid in future periods.

17. Operating Segment

 

The Company operates in one industry segment, development and commercialization of patented, differentiated and premium quality pharmaceuticals within one geographical area. All of the Company’s long-lived assets are located in Canada.

 

18. Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.

 

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are grouped into three levels of fair value hierarchy. The three levels are defined based on the observability of the significant inputs to the measurement, as follows:

 

 

·

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

·

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and,

 

·

Level 3: unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities.

 

Assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the placement within the fair value hierarchy level.

 

The carrying values of cash, amounts receivable, due to related parties and amounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate the fair values due to the short-term nature of these items. The fair values of convertible debenture, financial guarantee liability and loans payable are partially derived from market interest rates. The risk of material change in fair value is not considered to be significant due to a relatively short-term nature. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to manage this risk.

 

The following is an analysis of the Company’s financial liabilities at fair value as at October 31, and January 31, 2022:

19. Management of Financial Risk

 

The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain risks as summarized below:

 

(a) Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk of loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s cash is held through reputable financial institutions in Canada, U.S. and Australia. The carrying amount of cash and non-government related receivables represent the maximum exposure to credit risk. As at October 31, 2022, this amounted to $47,698.

 

(b) Interest rate risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk.

 

(c) Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet is financial obligations as they come due. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure (Note 20). Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related parties and the current portions of financial guarantee liability and loans payable are due within the current operating period.
