Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
(Unaudited - expressed in U.S. Dollars)
1. | Nature of operations and going concern |
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 gout and progressive kidney disease modulated by aberrant purine and uric acid metabolism in orphan disease indications such as allopurinol intolerant gout and 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 these diseases.
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. These circumstances and conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that casts significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
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”). Accordingly, certain disclosures included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting 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, 2024.
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. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were prepared on an accrual basis except for cash flow information.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its 100% owned subsidiary, XORTX Pharma Corp. 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 May 14, 2025.

3. | Material Accounting policies |
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the material accounting policies disclosed in the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
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 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. Warrant liabilities are accounted for as derivative liabilities if the proceeds from exercise are either not fixed, denominated in a currency other than the functional currency, or can be settled on a net basis, and therefore do not meet the fixed for fixed criteria. Estimating fair value for share-based transactions requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the instrument. This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option or warrant, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them.
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 classified the 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 U.S. 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 and the currency in which funds from financing are generated, or if there has been a change in events or conditions that determined the primary economic environment.

4. | Critical accounting judgments and estimates (continued) |
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 March 31, 2025.
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, 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 exists. Renewal options are only included if management is reasonably certain that the option will be renewed.
Classification of pre-funded warrants
Management applied judgment when determining the appropriate classification of pre-funded warrants included in unit offerings. Management considered the characteristics of derivative instruments and concluded that the pre-funded warrants should be classified as an equity instrument.
Current and deferred taxes
The measurement of income taxes payable and deferred income tax assets and liabilities requires management to make judgments in the interpretation and application of the relevant tax laws. Such differences may result in eventual tax payments differing from amounts accrued. Reported amounts for deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on management’s expectation for the timing and amounts of future taxable income or loss, as well as future taxation rates. Changes to these underlying estimates may result in changes to the carrying value, if any, of deferred income tax assets and liabilities.
5. | Cash |
The Company’s cash consists of cash held and interest-bearing deposits with the Company’s bank and brokerage accounts. The current annual interest rate earned on these deposits is 4.15% (December 31, 2024 – 3.62%).

8. | Intangible assets (continued) |
The Company has licensed intellectual property from various third parties. The intangible assets relate solely to licensed intellectual property and there are no other classes of intangible assets. The intangible assets are as described below:
a) | The Company has licensed from a third party (the “Licensor”), under patent rights purchase agreement dated July 9, 2013 and amended April 15, 2014, certain patents relating to allopurinol for the treatment of hypertension. The Company paid a total of $40,000 to the Licensor per the terms of the agreement. | |
The Company will also pay the Licensor royalties on the cumulative net revenues from the sale or sublicense of the product covered under the patent license until the later of (i) the expiration of the last patent right covering the product; and (ii) the expiration of ten years from the date of the first commercial sales of a product. As of March 31, 2025, no royalties have been accrued or paid. |
b) | In December 2012, the Company entered into an agreement to license certain intellectual property relating to the use of all uric acid lowering agents to improve the treatment of metabolic syndrome. Under this patent rights purchase agreement, between the Company and Dr. Richard Johnson and Dr. Takahiko Nakagawa (the “Vendors”), the Company will pay the Vendors a royalty based on the cumulative net revenues from the sale or sublicense of the product covered under the licensed intellectual property until the later of (i) the expiration of the last patent right covering the product; and (ii) the expiration of 10 years from the date of the first commercial sales of a product. As of March 31, 2025, no royalties have been accrued or paid. |
c) | Pursuant to a license agreement dated October 9, 2012 as amended on June 23, 2014, between the Company and the University of Florida Research Foundation, Inc. (“UFRF”), the Company acquired the exclusive license to a patent that claims the use of any uric acid lowering agent to treat insulin resistance. The Company has paid or is obligated to pay UFRF the following: |
i) | An annual license fee of $1,000; |
ii) | Reimburse UFRF for United States and/or foreign costs associated with the maintenance of the licensed patents; |
iii) | The issuance to UFRF of 180,397 shares of common stock of the Company. 160,783 have been issued to UFRF as at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The remaining shares to be issued are included in obligation to issue shares ($24,746); |
iv) | Milestone payments of $500,000 upon receipt of FDA approval to market licensed product in the United States of America and $100,000 upon receipt of regulatory approval to market each licensed product in each of other jurisdictions; |
v) | Royalty payments of up to 1.5% of net sales of products covered by the license until the later of (i) the expiration of any patent claims; or (ii) 10 years from the date of the first commercial sale of any covered product in each country. Following commencement of commercial sales, the Company will be subject to certain annual minimum royalty payments that will increase annually to a maximum of $100,000 per year. As at March 31, 2025, no royalties have been accrued or paid; and |
vi) | UFRF is entitled to receive a royalty of 5% of amounts received from any sub-licensee that are not based directly on product sales, excluding payments received for research and development or purchases of the Company’s securities at not less than fair market value. As at March 31, 2025, no royalties have been accrued or paid. |
UFRF may terminate the agreement if the Company fails to meet the above-specified milestones.

g) | Stock Options |
The Company has an incentive Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) for directors, officers, employees, and consultants, under which the Company may issue stock options to purchase common shares of the Company provided that the amount of incentive stock options which may be granted and outstanding under the Plan at any time shall not exceed 10% of the then issued and outstanding common shares of the Company.
The weighted average fair value of stock options granted was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following data and assumptions:
2024 | |
Dividend yield | Nil |
Annualized volatility | 100% |
Share price | CAD $4.31 |
Risk-free interest rate | 3.57% |
Expected life | 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.
Volatility is based on the available historical volatility of the Company’s share price, excluding specific time frames in which volatility was affected by specific transactions that are not considered to be indicative of the Company’s expected share price volatility. The Company has not declared dividends in the past.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded share-based payments of $8,969 (2024 - $53,134), in respect of the vesting of options issued in prior years.

h) | Derivative Warrant Liability |
During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2022 and 2021, the Company issued warrants which were recorded as derivative financial liabilities as the exercise price was denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Company and in certain situations allow the holder to exercise the warrants on a cashless basis and therefore may be settled other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash. Under the cashless exercise option, the holders of these warrants may elect to settle the warrants on a cashless basis if the common shares are not subject to an effective registration statement at the time the holder wishes to exercise them. A contract that may be settled by a single net payment (generally referred to as net cash settled or net equity settled) is a financial liability and not an equity instrument.
These warrants are revalued at each reporting period and any gain or loss is recorded in profit or loss.

12. | Share capital and reserves (continued) |
h) | Derivative Warrant Liability (continued) |
Effective January 1, 2023, with the change in functional currency of the Company to USD, the exercise price of warrants denominated in CAD is now denominated in a currency different than the functional currency of the Company and therefore these warrants now meet the definition of a derivative financial liability. Accordingly, all CAD denominated warrants recorded as equity instruments on January 1, 2023, were reclassified to derivative warrant liabilities at their estimated fair value as of that date.
The fair value of the warrants issued during the three months ended March 31, 2025 with an exercise price denominated in CAD was estimated at ($nil) (2024 - $968,000) on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following data and assumptions:
2024 | |
Dividend yield | Nil |
Annualized volatility | 130-135% |
Share price | CAD $3.10 |
Risk-free interest rate | 4.17% – 4.36% |
Expected life | 2 years |
The balance of the derivative warrant liabilities (level 3) is as follows:
Balance at December 31, 2023 | $ | 531,000 | ||
Warrants issued February 9, 2024 | 865,000 | |||
Warrants issued February 23, 2024 | 103,000 | |||
Warrants exercised | (5,244 | ) | ||
Fair value adjustment | 1,724,792 | |||
Balance at March 31, 2024 | $ | 3,218,548 | ||
Reclassified to reserves | (123,651 | ) | ||
Fair value and other adjustments | (2,522,897 | ) | ||
Balance at December 31, 2024 | $ | 572,000 | ||
Fair value adjustment | (246,000 | ) | ||
Balance at March 31, 2025 | $ | 326,000 |
Significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of the derivative warrant liabilities at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are as follows:
March 31, 2025 |
December 31, 2024 |
|||||||
Share price | $ | 0.96 | $ | 1.13 | ||||
Risk-free interest rate | 2.47 | % | 2.92 | % | ||||
Dividend yield | 0 | % | 0 | % | ||||
Expected volatility | 86%-130% | 94%-134% | ||||||
Remaining term (in years) | 0.9–2.5 | 1.1-2.8 |
The fair value is classified as level 3 as expected volatility is determined using historical volatility and is therefore not an observable input.
