Notes to the condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements
For the three months ended February 28, 2019 and 2018
 (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 $3,224,449 for the three months ended February 28, 2019 (three months ended February 28, 2018 - $3,149,588), and has an accumulated deficit of $88,845,388 as at February 28, 2019 (November 30, 2018 - $85,620,939). The Company has a working capital of $260,468 as at February 28, 2019 (November 30, 2018 - $3,408,814). 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 of our shares from Nasdaq, strategic alliance agreements, and other relevant commercial considerations. In addition, if the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, its then existing security

   Nature of operations (continued)
 
Going concern (continued)
 
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 do 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. (“IPC 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. 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, 2018.
 
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, 2018 except for the adoption of

 (Stated in U.S. dollars)
 
 
2.
Basis of presentation (continued)
 
(a)
Basis of consolidation (continued)
 
ASC 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”), and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments-Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (ASU 2016-01), as further discussed below in Notes 3 and 12.
 
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 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.
 
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 consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Significant accounting policies (continued)
 
(a)
Revenue recognition (continued)
 
The Company also has a license and commercial supply agreement with Mallinckrodt LLC (“Mallinckrodt”) which provides 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 is 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 records revenue once Mallinckrodt obtains control of the product and the performance obligation is satisfied.
 
Licensing revenue in respect of manufactured product is reported as revenue in accordance with ASC 606. Once product is sold by Mallinckrodt, the Company receives downstream licensing revenue amounts calculated and reported by Mallinckrodt, with such amounts generally based upon net product sales and net profit which includes estimates for chargebacks, rebates, product returns, and other adjustments. Such downstream licensing revenue payments received by the Company under this agreement are not subject to further deductions for chargebacks, rebates, product returns, and other pricing adjustments. Based on this agreement and the guidance per ASC 606, the Company records 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 license and commercial supply agreement, and initially recorded it as deferred revenue, as it did not meet the criteria for recognition. For the three months ended February 28, 2019, the Company recognized $75,000 (three months ended February 28, 2018 - $75,000) of revenue based on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the Mallinckrodt agreement of 10 years.
 
As of February 28, 2019, the Company has recorded a deferred revenue balance of $2,287,500 (November 30, 2018 - $2,362,500) relating to the underlying contracts, of which $300,000 (November 30, 2018 - $300,000) is considered a current portion of deferred revenue.

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 28, 2019, the Company had raw materials inventories of $123,875 (November 30, 2018 - $144,659), work in process of $96,053 (November 30, 2018 - $73,927) and finished goods inventory of $Nil (November 30, 2018 - $33,065) 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 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 shareholders’ equity.
 
(f)
Investment tax credits
               
 
               
The investments 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.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
 
In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which makes eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the Statement of Cash Flows. ASU 2016-15 became effective on May 1, 2018. The Company adopted ASU 2016-15 and the amendments did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
 
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, ASC 606, which establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring control of goods or services to a customer. The principles in ASC 606 provide a more structured approach to measuring and recognizing revenue. As of December 1, 2018, the Company has adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method and has elected to apply the standard retrospectively only to contracts that are not completed contracts at the date of initial application. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have an impact on the date of transition and did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended February 28, 2019.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements (continued)
 
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, which makes limited amendments to the guidance in U.S. GAAP on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. The new standard significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to (1) the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and (2) the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. It also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. The Company has adopted ASU No. 2016-01 effective December 1, 2018 and the adoption did not have an impact on the date of transition or any material impact on the Company’s condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended February 28, 2019.
 
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01 that changes the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. The guidance requires an entity to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; if so, the set of transferred assets and activities is not a business. ASU 2017-01 also requires a business to include at least one substantive process and narrows the definition of outputs by more closely aligning it with how outputs are described in ASC 606.1. ASU 2017-01 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2017-01 effective December 1, 2018 and the amendments did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
 
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09 in relation to Compensation —Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Modification Accounting. The amendments provide guidance on changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award, which require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The amendments are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for (1) public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The amendments should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The Company adopted ASU 2017-09 effective December 1, 2018 and the amendments did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
 
(h)
Future accounting pronouncements
 
In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance, ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The main difference between current U.S. GAAP and the new guidance is the recognition of lease liabilities based on the present value of remaining lease payments and corresponding lease assets for operating leases under current U.S. GAAP with limited exception. Additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures are also required by the new guidance. Topic 842 is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods) beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the amendments to determine if they have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

On January 10, 2013, the Company completed a private placement financing of the unsecured convertible 2013 Debenture (as defined above) in the original principal amount of $1.5 million, which was originally due to mature on January 1, 2015. The 2013 Debenture bears interest at a rate of 12% 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 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 8, 2015, the January 1, 2016 maturity date for the 2013 Debenture was further extended to July 1, 2016. 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 $83,101, 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 6.6% effective rate of interest.
 
Effective May 26, 2016, the July 1, 2016 maturity date for the 2013 Debenture was further extended to December 1, 2016. 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 $19,808, 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 4.2% effective rate of interest.

Convertible debentures (continued)
 
Effective December 1, 2016, the maturity date for the 2013 Debenture was further extended to April 1, 2017 and a principal repayment of $150,000 was made at the time of the extension. 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 $106,962, 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 26.3% effective rate of interest.
 
Effective March 28, 2017, the maturity date for the 2013 Debenture was further extended to October 1, 2017. 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 $113,607, 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 15.2% effective rate of interest.
 
Effective September 28, 2017, the maturity date for the 2013 Debenture was further extended to October 1, 2018. 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 $53,227, 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 4.9% effective rate of interest.
 
Effective October 1, 2018, the maturity date for the 2013 Debenture was further extended to April 1, 2019. Effective April 1, 2019, the maturity date for the 2013 Debenture was further extended to May 1, 2019.
 
Under ASC 470-50, the change in the debt instrument was accounted for as a modification of debt. There was no change in the fair value of the conversion option at the date of the modification. The carrying amount of the debt instrument is accreted over the remaining life of the 2013 Debenture using a nominal effective rate of interest. In December 2018, a principal repayment of $300,000 was made on the 2013 Debenture to Drs. Isa and Amina Odidi.
 
On September 10, 2018, the Company completed a private placement financing of the unsecured convertible 2018 Debenture (as defined above) 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. Subsequently, the fair value of the 2018 Debenture is accreted over the remaining life of the 2018 Debenture using an effective rate of interest of 7.3%.
 
Accreted interest expense during the three months ended February 28, 2019 is $7,937 (three months ended February 28, 2018 - $15,971) 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 and 2018 Debenture (collectively, the “Debentures”) for the three months ended February 28, 2019 is $46,423 (three months ended February 28, 2018 – $39,918) 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, offer and sell common shares through Roth or directly to Roth for resale to the extent permitted under Rule 415 under the 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 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.

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 2,192,557 based on the number of issued and outstanding common shares as at February 28, 2019. As at February 28, 2019, 277,257 options are outstanding and there were 1,915,300 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 28, 2019. 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 28, 2019.
 
In the three months ended February 28, 2019, Nil (three months ended February 28, 2018 – 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.

Options (continued)
 
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.

8.        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 28, 2019 and 2018, no non-management board members elected to receive director fees in the form of DSUs under the Company’s DSU Plan. As at February 28, 2019, 10,279 (February 28, 2018 – 10,279) DSUs are outstanding and 721 (February 28, 2018 – 721) DSUs are available for grant under the DSU Plan. The Company recorded the following amounts related

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 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 rates of 0.92%, expected life of 5 years, and dividend yield of Nil.

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 share 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.

10.      Income taxes
 
The Company has had no taxable income under the Federal and Provincial tax laws of Canada for the three months ended February 28, 2019 and February 28, 2018. The Company has non-capital loss carry-forwards at February 28, 2019, totaling $47,805,175 in Canada that must be offset against future taxable income. If not utilized, the loss carry-forwards will expire between 2028 and 2038.
 
For the three months ended February 28, 2019, the Company had a cumulative carry-forward pool of Canadian Federal Scientific Research & Experimental Development expenditures in the amount of $18,400,000 which can be carried forward indefinitely.
 
For the three months ended February 28, 2019, the Company had approximately $3,500,000 of unclaimed Investment Tax Credits which expire from 2025 to 2038. 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 28, 2019, and continuing as at April 15, 2019, 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 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 its Oxycodone ER product candidate would not infringe any of the OxyContin® patents listed in the FDA's Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations, commonly known as the "Orange Book", or that such patents are invalid, and so notified Purdue Pharma L.P. 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 the Company’s 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 was filed 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 so-called “Markman” claim construction ruling on the first case and the October 22, 2018 trial date remained unchanged. The Company believes that it has non-infringement

11.      Contingencies (continued)
 
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.
 
On July 24, 2018, the parties mutually agreed to and did have dismissed without prejudice 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.
 
On October 4, 2018, the parties 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 to the FDA, which was made on February 28, 2019. On January 17, 2019, the court issued a scheduling order in which the remaining major portions are scheduled. The trial is scheduled for June 2020.
 
On April 4, 2019, the U.S. Federal Circuit Court of Appeal affirmed the invalidity of one Purdue Oxycontin patent. This patent claimed a core matrix containing PEO and magnesium stearate, which is then heated. The invalidity ruling reduces another patent from the original litigation case. However it does not, by itself, eliminate the 30 month litigation stay in either docketed case.
 
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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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. Discovery is ongoing and is likely to continue until late 2019. The Company and the other defendants intend to vigorously defend themselves against the remainder of the claims asserted in the consolidated action.
 
   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 Toronto Stock Exchange during the Period. No date has been set for the hearing of the Notice of Motion. No date has been set for the hearing of the certification application. The Defendants intend to vigorously defend the action and have filed a Notice of Intent to Defend.

12.       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.
 
As of December 1, 2018, the Company has adopted ASU No. 2016-01, which makes limited amendments to the guidance in U.S. GAAP on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. The new standard significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to (1) the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and (2) the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. It also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. The adoption did not have an impact on the date of transition and did not have a material impact to our condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended February 28, 2019.
 
Inputs refers 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 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 (Level 2) while the Company uses its own historical volatility for options that have an expected life of nine years or less (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.
 
Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

 (i) The Company calculates the interest rate for the Debentures and due to related parties 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 amounts due to related parties.
 
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 28, 2019
and 2018, 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.

14.     Subsequent events
 
In March 2019, the Company received formal notice that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel had determined to delist the Company’s shares from Nasdaq based upon the Company’s non-compliance with the $1.00 bid price requirement, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The suspension of trading on Nasdaq took effect at the open of business on March 21, 2019.
 
Effective March 21, 2019 the Company's shares started trading on the OTCQB Venture Market.
 
In March 2019, 1,687,000 stock options were granted to management and other employees and 200,000 stock options were granted to non-management members of the Board of Directors.
 
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 proposed refinancing, the principal amount owing under the 2013 Debenture will be refinanced by a new debenture (the “New Debenture”). If issued, the New Debenture will have a principal amount of $1,050,000, and will mature on November 1, 2019, bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum and be convertible into 1,779,661 common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $0.59 per common share. Dr. Isa Odidi and Dr. Amina Odidi, who are shareholders, directors, and executive officers of the Company, will be the holders of the New Debenture.
 
On April 12, 2019, Mallinckrodt and the Company mutually agreed to terminate their Commercial Supply Agreement (the “Mallinckrodt agreement”) effective no later than August 31, 2019. Under the terms of the mutual agreement, Mallinckrodt has been released from certain obligations under the agreement as of April 12, 2019. The Company is in discussions with other parties who are interested in marketing and distributing the Company’s products which have been licensed under the Mallinckrodt agreement.
