Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

(Unaudited - expressed in Canadian Dollars)

 

1.Nature of operations

 

XORTX Therapeutics Inc. (the “Company” or “XORTX”) was incorporated under the laws of Alberta, Canada on August 24, 2012.

 

XORTX is a public company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) and on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “XRTX”. The Company’s operations and mailing address is 3710 – 33rd Street NW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2L 2M1 and its registered address is located at 550 Burrard Street, Suite 2900, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 0A3.

 

XORTX is a late stage clinical pharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative therapies to treat progressive kidney disease modulated by aberrant purine and uric acid metabolism in orphan disease indications such as autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, as well as more prevalent type 2 diabetic nephropathy, and fatty liver disease. The Company’s current focus is on developing products to slow and/or reverse the progression of kidney disease in patients at risk of end stage kidney failure.

 

The Company is subject to a number of risks associated with the successful development of new products and their marketing and the conduct of its clinical studies and their results. The Company will have to finance its research and development activities and its clinical studies. To achieve the objectives in its business plan, the Company plans to raise the necessary capital and to generate revenues. Although there is no certainty, management is of the opinion that additional funding for future projects and operations can be raised as needed. The products developed by the Company will require approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and equivalent organizations in other countries before their sale can be authorized. If the Company is unsuccessful in obtaining adequate financing in the future, research activities will be postponed until market conditions improve.

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, have adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s business or results of operations at this time. To date, COVID-19 has had little impact on the Company’s operations but may impact the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing to support future research projects.

 

2.Basis of preparation

 

Statement of Compliance

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 (IAS 34), Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). Accordingly, certain disclosures included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

2.Basis of preparation (continued)

 

Basis of Measurement and Presentation

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except for financial instruments which have been measured at fair value as explained in the notes to these condensed interim consolidated financial statements. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were prepared on an accrual basis except for cash flow information.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its 100% owned subsidiary. The accounts of the Company’s subsidiary are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses on transactions are eliminated.

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved for issue by the Board of Directors on November 9, 2022.

 

3.Accounting policies

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the significant accounting policies disclosed in the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. Accordingly, they should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, other than as noted below:

 

Equipment

 

Equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. The cost of an item of equipment includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition thereof. Amortization is calculated on bases and rates designed to amortize the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives. Amortization is recorded using the straight-line method with an expectation of the following useful life estimates:

 

Computer equipment                                  3 years

 

Leases

 

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains a lease determining whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, we assess whether:

·the contract involves the use of an identified asset;
·the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset throughout the period of use; and
·the Company has the right to direct the use of the identified asset.

 

The right-of-use asset and corresponding lease obligation is recognized at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term. The lease term includes periods covered by an option to extend if the Company is reasonably

3.Accounting policies (continued)

 

Leases (continued)

 

certain to exercise that option. In addition, the right-of-use asset is reduced by impairment losses and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease obligation, if any.

 

The lease obligation is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date. The lease payments are discounted using the implicit interest rate in the lease. If the rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental rate of borrowing is used. The lease obligation is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The lease obligation is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in our estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if we change our assessment of whether we will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option, or if the underlying lease contract is amended.

 

The Company has elected not to separate fixed non-lease components from lease components and instead account for each lease component and associated fixed non-lease components as a single lease component.

 

The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease obligations for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and for leases of low value assets. The lease payments associated with those leases are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

4.Critical accounting judgments and estimates

 

The preparation of condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and notes. By their nature, these judgments and estimates are subject to change and the effect on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of changes in such judgments and estimates in future periods could be material. These judgments and estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions, and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates.

 

Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and may affect both the period of revision and future periods. Information about critical accounting judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recognized in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements within the next financial year are discussed below:

 

Share-based payment transactions and warrant liabilities

The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them.

 

Warrant liabilities are accounted for as derivative liabilities as exercise price is not fixed or the proceeds from exercise is not known. The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions and warrant liabilities are disclosed in Note 13.

4.Critical accounting judgments and estimates (continued)

 

Classification of contract payments

In concluding that contract payments are a non-current asset, management considered when future regulatory and clinical trial programs are anticipated to be completed. Management assessed that the future regulatory and clinical trial programs would not be completed within 12 months from period end and therefore reclassified contract payments as a non-current asset.

 

Impairment of intangible assets

Patents (obtained and pending) and licenses are reviewed for impairment at each financial reporting date. If, in the judgment of management, future economic benefits will not flow to the Company, then the Company will assess the recoverable value of the asset. If the carrying value is greater than the recoverable value, the asset will be impaired to the recoverable value.

 

Determination of functional currency

In concluding that the Canadian dollar is the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiary, management considered the currency that mainly influences the cost of providing goods and services in the primary economic environment in which each entity operates, or if there has been a change in events or conditions that determined the primary economic environment.

 

Treatment of research and development costs

Costs to develop products are capitalized to the extent that the criteria for recognition as intangible assets in IAS 38 Intangible Assets are met. Those criteria require that the product is technically and economically feasible, the Company has the intention and ability to use the asset, and how the asset will generate future benefits. Management assessed the capitalization of development costs based on the attributes of the development project, perceived user needs, industry trends and expected future economic conditions. Management considers these factors in aggregate and applies significant judgment to determine whether the product is feasible. The Company has not capitalized any development costs as at September 30, 2022.

 

Leases

Value of right-of-use assets and lease obligations require judgement in determining lease terms such as extension options, determining whether a lease contract contains an identified asset to which the Company has the right to use substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of that asset and the incremental borrowing rate applied. The Company estimates the incremental borrowing rate based on the lease term, collateral assumptions and the economic environment in which the lease is denominated. Renewal options are only included if management is reasonably certain that the option will be renewed.

 

5.Cash and cash equivalents

 

The Company’s cash equivalents consist of cash held of $3,106,676 (December 31, 2021 - $18,851,244) and interest-bearing deposits with the Company’s bank totaling $9,053,371 (December 31, 2021 - $0). The current annual interest rate earned on these deposits is 2.40% (December 31, 2021 – 0%).

As part of the agreement, the Company paid $1,606,320 through the issuance of units in the private placement (US$1,200,000 at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction) to be applied to future regulatory and clinical trial programs. The 977,318 units issued were measured by reference to their fair value on the issuance date, which is equal to $1.64 per unit in the concurrent private placement.

b)Issuances (continued)

 

Year ended December 31, 2021:

 

On February 9, 2021, the Company closed a private placement with the issuance of 2,085,687 units at a subscription price of $2.935 per unit for gross proceeds of $6,121,572. Each unit comprised one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder, on exercise, to purchase one additional common share in the capital of the Company, at a price of $4.70 for a period of five years from the issuance of the units, provided, however, that, if, at any time following the expiry of the statutory four month hold period, the closing price of the common shares is greater than $14.09 for 10 or more consecutive trading days, the warrants will be accelerated upon notice and the warrants will expire on the 30th calendar day following the date of such notice. In addition, the Warrants were subject to typical anti-dilution provisions and a ratchet provision that provided for an adjustment in the exercise price should the Company issue or sell common shares or securities convertible into common shares at a price (or conversion price, as applicable) less than the exercise price such that the exercise price would be amended to match such lower price.

 

The proceeds were allocated $5,358,000 to the derivative warrant liability (Note 13(f)) and the residual $763,572 was allocated to common shares

 

In connection with the private placement, the Company paid $171,347 in cash commissions, incurred additional issuance costs of $7,897 and issued 58,288 finders’ warrants with a fair value of $150,000 (Note 13(d)). Each finders’ warrant is exercisable into one common share at a price of $4.70 and having the same expiry, acceleration and anti-dilution provisions as the warrants included in the private placement. The costs were allocated between common shares and derivative warrant liability in proportion to their initial carrying amounts with $41,068 recorded as a reduction of equity and $287,946 recorded as transaction costs on derivative warrant liability.

 

On October 15, 2021, the Company listed its common shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “XRTX” and closed an underwritten public offering of 2,906,000 units (the “US IPO Offering”), with each unit consisting of one common share, no par value, and one warrant to purchase one common share at a public offering price of US$4.13 per Unit, for gross proceeds of $14,851,850 (US$12,001,780). The proceeds were allocated $7,425,000 to the derivative warrant liability (Note 13(f)) and the residual $7,426,850 was allocated to common shares.

 

The warrants have an initial exercise price of US$4.77 per share and have a term of five years. In addition, the Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 435,900 common shares and/or warrants to purchase up to an additional 435,900 common shares at the US IPO Offering price less the underwriting discounts. On October 15, 2021, the underwriter exercised its option to purchase additional warrants to purchase up to an additional 435,900 common shares.

 

On November 8, 2021, the underwriter partially exercised its 45-day option for 355,000 common shares at US$4.13 per share, resulting in additional gross proceeds to the Company of $1,825,159 (US$1,466,150) which increased the US IPO Offering to 3,261,000 common shares and 3,341,900 warrants.

 

In connection with the US IPO Offering, the Company incurred issuance costs of $2,300,549 and issued 145,300 finders’ warrants with a fair value of $371,251. The costs were allocated between common shares and derivative warrant liability in proportion to their initial carrying amounts with $1,336,066 recorded as a reduction of equity and $1,335,734 recorded as transaction costs on derivative warrant liability.

The fair value of the finders’ warrants issued on February 9, 2021 was estimated at $150,000 on the date of grant using Black-Scholes. The exercise price of the unit of $4.70; expected life of 5.0 years; expected volatility of 100%; risk free rate of 0.58%; and expected dividend yield of 0%.

 

The fair value of the finders’ warrants issued on October 15, 2021 was estimated at $371,251 on the date of grant using Black-Scholes. The exercise price of the unit of US$4.77; expected life of 5.0 years; expected volatility of 100%; risk free rate of 1.5%; and expected dividend yield of 0%.

 

e)Stock Options

Annualized volatility  100%  100%
Risk-free interest rate  1.44%-3.16%  0.36% - 1.19%
Expected life  5 years  5 years

 

The risk-free interest rate is the yield on zero-coupon Canadian Treasury Bills of a term consistent with the assumed option life. The expected life of the option is the average expected period to exercise.

f)Derivative warrant liability

 

Private Placement Warrants

 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company issued 2,085,687 warrants for the Company’s common shares pursuant to a financing in February 2021 as described above.

 

The warrants issued as part of the unit contain a ratchet provision that provides for an adjustment in the exercise price if shares or securities convertible to shares are sold at a price lower than the exercise price. Therefore, since the warrants (not including compensation warrants) may be settled other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash, they meet the definition of a derivative financial liability.

 

The fair value of the warrants was estimated at $5,358,000 on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: share price on date of grant of $3.64; exercise price of the warrant of $4.70; expected life of 5.0 years; expected volatility of 100%; risk free rate of 0.58%; and expected dividend yield of 0%.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, 640,012 of these warrants were exercised and a value of $425,900 was transferred from the derivative warrant liability to share capital as a result. On October 15, 2021, the ratchet provision expired when the Company listed its common shares on the Nasdaq. As a result of the expiry, the warrants would now be settled by a fixed amount of cash and were reclassified as an equity instrument. The fair value of the derivative warrant liability as of October 15, 2021 of $4,460,000 was reclassified to reserves.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company issued warrants for the Company’s common shares pursuant to the US IPO Offering discussed above. These warrants were recorded as a derivative financial liability as the exercise price of the units is denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Company and therefore may be settled other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash. The fair value of the warrants was estimated at $7,425,000 on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: share price on date of grant of US$3.02; exercise price of the warrant of US$4.77; expected life of 5.0 years; expected volatility of 100%; risk free rate of 1.50%; and expected dividend yield of 0%.

 

The balance of the derivative warrant liabilities (level 3) is as follows:

 

     
Balance at December 31, 2020  $- 
Warrants issued February 9, 2021   5,358,000 
Warrants exercised   (425,900)

13.Share capital and reserves (continued)

 

f)Derivative warrant liability (continued)

 

Significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of the derivative warrant liabilities at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are as follows:

 

   September 30,
2022
  

December 31,

2021

 
Share price  $1.21   $2.05 
Risk-free interest rate   3.44%   1.23%
Dividend yield   0%   0%
Expected volatility   100%   100%
Remaining term (in years)   4.0    4.8 

 

The fair value is classified as level 3 as expected volatility is determined using historical volatility and is therefore not an observable input.

 

14.Related party transactions

 

All related party transactions were measured at the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties. All amounts due from/payable to related parties are unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no fixed terms of repayment.
