2. Basis of Presentation (continued)

 

Retroactive Adjustment for Reverse Stock Split

 

In December 2019, the Board and TSXV approved a 1-for-300 reverse stock split, or the Reverse Split, which was implemented effective January 2, 2020. Consequently, all share numbers, share prices, and exercise prices have been retroactively adjusted in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

 

Basis of Measurement

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost basis, except for financial instruments that are required to be measured at fair value.

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BriaCell and its wholly-owned US subsidiary BriaCell Therapeutics Corp. (“BTC”) and BTC’s wholly owned subsidiary – Sapientia Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Sapientia”). The financial statements of the subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commenced until the date control ceases. Control exists when the Company has the power directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The Company applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations in accordance with IFRS 3.

 

All inter–company balances, and transactions, have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

 

3. Significant Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial data is based on accounting principles and practices consistent with those used in the preparation of the audited financial statements as of July 31, 2020. The accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2020.

4. Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates

 

The critical judgments and significant estimates in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements are:

 

  The series of loans made to the subsidiary company are considered part of the parent company’s net investment in a foreign operation as the Company does not plan to settle these balances in the foreseeable future. As a result of this assessment, the unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses on the intercompany loans are recorded through compressive loss. If the Company determined that settlement of these amounts was planned or likely in the foreseeable future, the resultant foreign exchange gains and losses would be recorded through profit or loss.
  Intangible assets are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if there is an indication of impairment. The carrying value of intangibles with definite lives is reviewed each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If there are indications of impairment the impairment analysis is completed and if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is impaired and impairment loss is recognized.
  The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate fair value of the warrant liability at each reporting date. The key assumptions used in the model are the expected future volatility in the price of the Company’s shares and the expected life of the warrants.

 

 

5. Intellectual Property

 

The attributable intellectual property relates to Sapientia’s various patents, which the Company is amortizing over 20 years, consistent with its accounting policy. During the three and nine months ended April 30, 2021, the Company recorded $4,686 and $14,058, respectively in amortization on intellectual property (for the three and nine months ended April, 2020 - $4,686 and $14,058, respectively).

On May 1, 2020 the Company received US$127,030 as a loan from the Paycheck Protection Program in the United States (the “Program”) The terms of the Program provide that a portion of the loan may be forgiven, to the extent that the amounts spent during the eight week period following the first disbursement of the loan are incurred as follows: (i) payroll costs, (ii) interest payments on mortgages incurred before February 15, 2020, (iii) rent payments on leases in effect before February 15, 2020, and (iv) utility payments for which service began before February 15, 2020 (“Program Expenses”).

The Unit is comprised of (A) $375,000 principal amount (“Principal Amount”) of a 5.0% convertible unsecured debenture of the Company (the “Debenture”), due on the earlier of (i) 5 years from the issue date; (ii) the Company receiving $2,000,000 or more by way of private placement or public offering; or (iii) such earlier date as the principal amount hereof may become due, subject to extension upon mutual agreement of the Company and the holder of the Debenture; and (B) 69,188 common share purchase warrants of the Company (“Warrants”).

 

The Debenture is convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, from the period beginning on May 16, 2021, until the repayment of the Debenture in full, into that number of Shares of the Company (“Shares”) computed on the basis of the principal amount of the Debenture divided by the conversion price of $5.42 per Common Share (the “Conversion Price”).

The Debenture will bear interest at a rate of 5.0% per annum and the Debenture may be prepaid in full or in part by the Company during the initial 120 day period after issuance of the Debenture without penalty. After 120 days, and only if the Company elects to prepay the Debenture prior to November 16, 2021, the Company will be required to pay a cash prepayment penalty equal to 35% of the Principal Amount of the Debenture (the “Prepayment Penalty”). In the event of default on the Debenture, the interest rate will increase to 12% per annum and a cash penalty payment equal to 40% of the Principal Amount of the Debenture will be added to the Principal Amount of the Debenture (the “Default Penalty”); and the Principal Amount, any accrued and unpaid interest and any other amount owing pursuant the Debenture, including any Prepayment Penalty and/or Default Penalty outstanding at that time shall be accelerated, and shall become immediately due and payable at the option of the holder.

 

In consideration for the services rendered by ThinkEquity, a division of Fordham Financial Management, Inc. (the “Broker”), the Broker received a cash commission of $26,500 from the Company in connection with the Offering. As additional consideration, the Company also issued to the Broker 4,890 non-transferable compensation warrants (the “Compensation Warrants”). Each Compensation Warrant is exercisable to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of $5.42 at any time in whole or in part for a period of five (5) years from the Closing Date.

 

The Debentures’ proceeds of $235,210 (net of expenses) received were separated into the liability component of $145,908, equity component of $35,273, and warrants and broker warrants with a value of $35,273 and $18,757, respectively. The liability is carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method with an effective interest rate of 19.97% per annum. Transaction costs of $158,547 were paid in relation with the Debentures. The fair value of the warrants and the broker warrants issued with the Debentures was valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions: volatility of 100% using the historical prices of the Company, risk-free interest rate of 0.49%, expected life of 5 years and share price of $5.22. During the three and nine month periods ended April 30, 2021, the Company recorded interest of $3,031 and $6,781, respectively, and accretion expenses of $9,072 and $20,296, respectively, which were recorded as finance expense in the condensed interim consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive profit (loss).

 

On March 1, 2021, the Debenture was repaid and the Company a recorded charge in the condensed interim consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss of $216,098 on the extinguishment of the Debenture.

7. Warrant Liability

 

On February 26, 2021, the Company issued 5,882,353 Offering Warrants (as defined below) in connection with the public offering – see Note 8(b(ii)) and on April 12, 2021, the Company issued 882,352 Over-allotment Warrants (as defined below) in connection with the exercise of the Over-allotment Option – see Note 8(b(ii)).

 

Since the warrants have an exercise price denominated in a different currency (US Dollars) than the functional currency of the Company (Canadian Dollars), these warrants are recorded at their fair value as a derivative liability and revalued at the end of each reporting period.

 

The fair value of the Offering Warrants at the issuance date was $17,335,610 based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: share price - $3.40; exercise price - $5.31; expected life – 5 years; annualized volatility – 100%; dividend yield – 0%; risk free rate – 0.88.

 

The fair value of the Over-allotment Warrants at the issuance date was $2,049,090 and is based on the closing price of the warrants traded on NASDAQ on April 11, 2021

 

At April 30, 2021 the fair value of the warrants was $8,476,649 based on the market trading closing price on that day.

 

As a result, for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2021, the Company recorded a gain on the revaluation of the total warrant liability of $10,908,051 in the condensed interim consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

 

8. Share Capital and Warrant Reserve

 

  a) Authorized share capital

 

The authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of Shares with no par value. Retroactive Adjustment For Reverse Stock Split. In December 2019, the Board and TSX-V approved a 1-for-300 reverse stock split, or the Reverse Split, which was implemented effective on or about January 2, 2020. Consequently, all share numbers, share prices, and exercise prices have been retroactively adjusted in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

  (ii) On February 26, 2021, the Company closed its previously announced underwritten public offering in the United States.

The Company offered 4,852,353 common units at a public offering price of US$4.25 per unit, consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock (“Offering Warrants”), and 1,030,000 pre-funded units at a public offering price of US$4.24 per unit, consisting of one pre-funded common stock purchase warrant (“Pre-Funded Warrant”) and one Warrant. The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable at any time after the date of issuance at an exercise price of US$0.01 per common share. The Warrants have a per warrant exercise price of US$5.3125, can be exercised immediately, and expire five years from the date of issuance. All the Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised between March 16, and April 9, 2021.
     
    The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to 882,352 additional shares of common stock and/or Pre-Funded Warrants and/or 882,352 additional warrants to cover over-allotments, if any, on the same terms as the Offering (“Over-allotment Option”). The underwriter exercised the Over-allotment Option on April 12, 2021 and the company issued 882,352 shares and 882,352 warrants (“Over-allotment Warrants”).
     
    The fair value of the Warrants was $19,384,700 at the issuance date and were recorded as a liability (see note 7). Costs incurred for the Company’s registration on NASDAQ and the relative portion of costs incurred in the Offering that relate to the warrants ($1,597,652) were expensed in the condensed interim consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive profit (loss).

10. Related Party Transactions and Balances

 

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making operating and financial decisions. This would include the Company’s senior management, who are considered to be key management personnel by the Company.

11. Capital Management

 

The Company’s capital comprises share capital, share-based payment reserve, warrant reserve, and accumulated other comprehensive loss. The Company manages its capital structure, and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company in order to support the Company’s business activities. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management; it relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business.

 

The intellectual property in which the Company currently has an interest is in the development stage; as such, the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out the planned research and development and pay for administrative costs, the Company intends to raise additional amounts as needed.

12. Financial Risk Factors

 

The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:

 

  a) Credit risk

 

The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk arising from operations. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to financial instruments is remote.

 

  b) Liquidity risk

 

The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities as they come due. As of April 30, 2021, the Company has working capital balance of $25,326,898 (July 31, 2020 – negative working capital of $4,548,526). The table below presents the maturity profile of the Company’s financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payments:

 

   Carrying amount   Contractual cash flows   Within 1 year   1-2 years   2-5 years   5+ years 
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities  $208,551   $208,551   $208,551   $-   $-   $- 
Government grant   190,770    196,056    -    196,056    -    - 
   $  399,321   $404,607   $  208,551   $  196,056   $    -   $   - 

 

  c) Market risk

 

  i. Interest rate risk
     
    Interest Rate risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. All loan payables recognized by the Company have fixed interest rates as such the Company does not believe it is exposed to material interest rate risk.
     
  ii. Price risk
     
    As the Company has no revenues, price risk is remote.
     
  iii. Exchange risk
     
    The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as a portion of the Company’s transactions occur in a foreign currency (mainly its research operations which are conducted primarily in the United States of America in US dollars) and, therefore, the Company is exposed to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period through its U.S. denominated accounts payable and cash. As of April 30, 2021, a 5% depreciation or appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar would have resulted in an approximate $1,220,000 (July 31, 2020 - $175,000) decrease or increase, respectively, in total loss and comprehensive loss.

12. Financial Risk Factors (continued)

 

  d) COVID-19

 

Since January 2020, the Coronavirus outbreak has dramatically expanded into a worldwide pandemic creating macro-economic uncertainty and disruption in the business and financial markets. Many countries around the world, including Canada and the United States have been taking measures designated to limit the continued spread of the Coronavirus, including the closure of workplaces, restricting travel, prohibiting assembling, closing international borders and quarantining populated areas. Such measures present concerns that may dramatically affect the Company’s ability to conduct its business effectively.

 

The Company may face difficulties recruiting or retaining patients in our ongoing and planned clinical trials if patients are affected by the virus or are fearful of visiting or traveling to our clinical trial sites because of the outbreak of COVID-19. In the event that clinical trial sites are slowed down or closed to enrollment in our trials, this could have a material adverse impact on our clinical trial plans and timelines. The Company is continuing to assess its business plans and the impact COVID-19 is having on the Company’s clinical trial timelines and the Company’s ability to recruit candidates for clinical trials. The extent to which COVID-19 and global efforts to contain its spread will impact our operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time, and include the duration, severity and scope of the outbreak and the actions taken to contain or treat the coronavirus outbreak. The Company currently believes that the execution of our clinical trials and research programs are delayed by at least one quarter due to COVID-19.
