The Company is organized under the laws of British Columbia, Canada and is headquartered in Markham, Ontario.

Going Concern

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which presumes the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of operations for at least the next twelve months.

 

For the year ended September 30, 2025, the Company incurred a comprehensive loss of $7.1 million resulting in an accumulated deficit of $65.9 million. For the year ended September 30, 2025, the Company had a net cash outflow from operating activities of $7.3 million and ended the year with $10.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and a net working capital surplus of $10.4 million. During the year ended September 30, 2025, the Company received net proceeds of $17.0 million from equity financings, including the issuance of common shares and preferred shares in multiple transactions. Subsequent to year end, the Company received additional net proceeds of approximately $3.4 million from the issuance of equity securities sold pursuant to the Company’s ATM with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on obtaining additional funding through financings, other strategic activities as well as via grants, to fund the development of its drug candidates. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising the necessary financing. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

These consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and, therefore, be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. These adjustments could be material.

 

Liquidity

 

The Company’s operations have historically been funded through issuances of common shares, exercises of common share purchase warrants, convertible preferred shares, convertible loans, government grants and tax incentives.

 

In August 2022 the Company filed a $150.0 million shelf registration statement that expired in August 2025, under which the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement with Canaccord for $20.0 million in gross proceeds, subject to certain offering limitations that allowed the Company to offer and sell common shares having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $8.4 million (“Canaccord ATM”). For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, the Company sold a total of 171,916 common shares pursuant to the agreement for net proceeds of $0.6 million after deducting commissions and costs of $0.1 million. The Canaccord ATM was terminated in October 2024.

 

In October 2024, the Company entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC as a sales agent (“HCW ATM”) pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, common shares through an at-the-market equity offering program for up to $4.0 million in gross proceeds.  For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, the Company sold a total of 394,057 common shares pursuant to the agreement for net proceeds of approximately $1.0 million after deducting sales agent commissions.

 

A new shelf registration statement on Form S-3, allowing for the offer and sale of up to $4.0 million of securities, was filed and declared effective by the SEC on September 9, 2025. Subsequent to September 30, 2025, the Company sold an additional 1,177,568 common shares under the HCW ATM for net proceeds of approximately $3.4 million after deducting sales agent commissions.

 

The Company’s primary use of cash and cash equivalents is to fund operating expenses, which consist of research and development (“R&D”) and general and administrative (“G&A”) expenditures. Cash used to fund operating expenses is impacted by the timing of when the Company pays these expenses, as reflected in the change in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Net cash used in operating activities was $7.3 million and $4.9 million for the years ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company incurred net losses of $7.2 million and $6.2 million for the years ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had a working capital surplus of $10.4 million. The Company has historically funded its operations through equity financings and government grants.
