LEXARIA BIOSCIENCE CORP.
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 2024
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars Except Share Amounts)
(Unaudited)
1. Nature of Business
Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (“Lexaria”, “we”, “our” or “the Company”) is a biotechnology company pursuing the enhancement of the bioavailability of a diverse and broad range of active pharmaceutical ingredients (“API”) using DehydraTECH TM , our patented proprietary drug delivery technology.
Revenues are generated from licensing contracts for the Company’s patented DehydraTECH technology based on the terms of use and defined geographic and licensing arrangements. We derive income from our third party contracted manufacturing of B2B DehydraTECH enhanced products made to customer specifications that are sold online and in-store in the US and Canada. We also perform contract services in R&D for customer specific formulations that are used in comparison testing to customers’ existing products.
Going Concern
The Company’s consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) applicable to a going concern, which assumes the Company will have sufficient funds to meet its financial obligations for a period of at least 12 months from the date of this report.
Since inception, the Company has incurred significant operating and net losses. Net losses attributable to shareholders were $ 3.6 million and $ 5.5 million for the nine-months ended May 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. As of May 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $ 49.4 million. We expect to continue to incur significant operational expenses and net losses in the upcoming 12 months. Our net losses may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year, depending on the stage and complexity of our research and development (R&D) studies and corporate expenditures, additional revenues received from the licensing of our technology, if any, and the receipt of payments under any current or future collaborations we may enter into. The recurring losses and negative net cash flows raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
During the nine-months ended May 31, 2024, the Company has completed the following:
·
Entered into Securities Purchase Agreements whereby on February 16, 2024, the Company issued 1,444,741 shares of common stock and 113,702 pre-funded warrants in a registered direct offering. The Company also sold to investors, warrants to purchase up to 1,558,443 shares of common stock. The combined effective offering price for each share of common stock and accompanying warrant was $ 2.31 . The warrants will expire five years from the issuance date, and have an exercise price of $ 2.185 per share. The Company also agreed to partially compensate the placement agent through the issuance of warrants to purchase up to 54,546 shares of common stock. The warrants will expire five years from the issuance date, and have an exercise price of $ 2.8875 per share. The net proceeds to the Company from the registered direct offering was $ 3 .0 million, after deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses paid by the Company.
·
Entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement whereby on October 3, 2023, the Company issued, to a single healthcare-focused institutional investor, 889,272 shares of common stock and 729,058 pre-funded warrants in a registered direct offering. In a concurrent private placement, the Company also agreed to issue and sell to the investor, warrants to purchase up to 1,618,330 shares of common stock. The combined effective offering price for each share of common stock (or pre-funded warrant in lieu thereof) and accompanying warrant was $ 0.97 (to note the pre-funded warrants were issued at a price of $ 0.9699 and have an exercise price of $ 0.0001 ). The warrants will become exercisable six months from issuance, expire five and a half years from the issuance date, and have an exercise price of $0.97 per share. The net proceeds to the Company from the registered direct offering and concurrent private placement totaled $ 1.25 million, after deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company. To date all of the pre-funded warrants have been exercised, resulting in the issuance by the Company of an aggregate 729,058 common shares for gross proceeds of $ 73 .

Table of Contents
·
Issued common shares pursuant to the exercise of the following warrants:
o
1,622,250 common shares pursuant to the exercise of warrants that were issued under our May 11, 2023, financing, at an exercise price of $ 0.95 per share for gross proceeds of $ 1,541,137 ;
o
1,618,330 common shares pursuant to the exercise of warrants that were issued under our October 3, 2023, financing, at an exercise price of $ 0.97 per share for gross proceeds of $ 1,569,780 ;
o
729,058 common shares pursuant to the exercise of pre-funded warrants that were issued under our October 3, 2023, financing, at an exercise price of $ 0.0001 per share for gross proceeds of $ 73 dollars;
o
1,298,702 common shares pursuant to the exercise of warrants that were issued under our February 16, 2024, financing, at an exercise price of $ 2.185 per share for gross proceeds of $ 2,837,664 ; and
o
113,702 common shares pursuant to the exercise of pre-funded warrants that were issued under our February 16, 2024, financing, at an exercise price of $ 0.0001 per share for gross proceeds of $ 11 dollars.
We may offer securities in response to market conditions or other circumstances if we believe such a plan of financing is required to advance the Company’s business plans. There is no certainty that future equity or debt financing will be available or that it will be at acceptable terms and the outcome of these matters is unpredictable. A lack of adequate funding may force us to reduce spending, curtail or suspend planned programs or possibly liquidate assets. Any of these actions could adversely and materially affect our business, cash flow, financial condition, results of operations, and potential prospects. The sale of additional equity may result in additional dilution to our stockholders. Entering into additional licensing agreements, collaborations, partnerships, alliances marketing, distribution, or licensing arrangements with third parties to increase our capital resources is also possible. If we do so, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.
Based on existing cash resources, management believes that current funding will be sufficient to meet the Company’s financial obligations for a period of at least twelve months from the date of this report. In making this assessment, the Company believes that this alleviates any substantial doubt in connection with the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies of the Company are consistent with those of our audited financial statements on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2023.
Basis of Consolidation
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries; Lexaria CanPharm ULC, Lexaria CanPharm Holding Corp., PoViva Corp., Lexaria Hemp Corp., Kelowna Management Services Corp., Lexaria Nutraceutical Corp., and Lexaria Pharmaceutical Corp., and our 83.33 3% owned subsidiary Lexaria Nicotine LLC with the remaining 16.6 67% owned by Altria Ventures Inc. an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Altria Group, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Table of Contents
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or for any subsequent period.
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated annual financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2023.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash-on-hand and demand deposits with financial institutions and other short-term investments with maturities of less than three months when acquired and readily convertible to known cash amounts. The Company had no cash equivalents as of May 31, 2024, or May 31, 2023.
Marketable Securities
The Company’s marketable securities consist of investments in common stock. Investments in equity securities are reported at fair value with changes in unrecognized gains or losses included in other income (loss) on the consolidated statements of operations.
Leases
The Company accounts for its leases under ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). Under this guidance, arrangements meeting the definition of a lease are classified as operating or financing leases and are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as both a right-of-use asset and lease liability.
We determined the initial classification and measurement of our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement date and thereafter if modified. The lease term includes any renewal options and termination options that we are reasonably certain to exercise. The present value of lease payments is determined by using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate is readily determinable; otherwise, we use our incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is determined by using the rate of interest that we would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis an amount equal to the lease payments for a similar term and in a similar economic environment.
Operating lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis, unless the right-of-use asset has been impaired, over the reasonably certain lease term based on the total lease payments. They are included in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
For operating leases that reflect impairment, we will recognize the amortization of the right-of-use asset on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term with rent expense still included in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. For all leases, rent payments that are based on a fixed index or rate at the lease commencement date are included in the measurement of lease assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement date.
We have elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components. Our non-lease components are primarily related to property taxes and maintenance, which vary based on future outcomes, and thus differences to original estimates are recognized in rent expense when incurred.
Intellectual Property
Capitalized intellectual property costs include those incurred with respect to both pending and granted patents filed in the United States. When patent applications are filed, the directly related capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated economic life of 20 years.
9
Table of Contents
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment and depreciated using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the various asset classes. Laboratory and computer equipment and office furniture are depreciated over 3 - 10 years. Certain production equipment is depreciated by units of production method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the related leases, or the economic life of the improvements, whichever is shorter.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, including equipment and intangible assets, namely the Company’s patents, are assessed for potential impairment when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Any required impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value and is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset and a charge to the profit or loss. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment annually and in interim periods if certain events occur indicating that the carrying value of the intangible assets may be impaired.
Revenue Recognition
Licensing revenue from intellectual property
Our revenues from licenses that grant the right to access our intellectual property, which we consider symbolic licenses of IP, are recognized over time following the transfer and use of our patented infusion technology DehydraTECH. Royalty revenues are recognized in the period in which our licensees sell the related products and recognize the related revenue.
Usage fees from intellectual property
We recognize usage fees from B2B clients in the period in which the counterparty completes the manufacturing which incorporates DehydraTECH enabled APIs into the related product. We generally recognize revenue when we have satisfied all contractual obligations and are reasonably assured of collecting the resulting receivable. Non-refundable minimum fees are recognized as revenue over the period to which they apply.
Product revenue
We generally recognize revenue when we have satisfied all contractual obligations and are reasonably assured of collecting the resulting receivable. We are often entitled to bill our customers and receive payment from our customers in advance of recognizing the revenue.
Cost of Sales

Intellectual Property Expenses
Non-capitalizable costs associated with intellectual property-related matters are expensed as incurred and included in general and administrative expenses within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation awards whereby all stock-based grants are recognized as expenses in the consolidated statements of operations based on the fair value at grant date subject to vesting dates and amortized over the related vesting period. The grant date fair value of each option award is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the common stock consistent with the expected life of the option, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yields of the common stock.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The Company has foreign operations whose functional currency is the local currency. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars, the reporting currency, at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Foreign currency translation adjustments resulting from this process are reported as an element of other comprehensive income (loss) on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Transactions executed in different currencies are translated at spot rates and resulting foreign exchange transaction gains and losses are charged to income.
Loss Per Share
The calculation of loss per share uses the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net income per share includes the effect, if any, from the potential exercise or conversion of securities, such as restricted stock and stock options, which would result in the issuance of incremental shares of common stock. Diluted loss per share is equivalent to basic loss per share if the potential exercise of the equity-based financial instruments is anti-dilutive.
Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount whose realization is more likely than not.
Fair Value Measurements
When measuring fair value, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. This establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Inputs are prioritized into three levels used to measure fair value:
·
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
·
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
·
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

Table of Contents
The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable and payable as well as accrued liabilities. The carrying amounts of instruments approximate their fair values due to their short maturities or quoted market prices.
The Company’s headquarters and operations are located in Canada which results in exposure to market risks from fluctuations in foreign currency rates. The foreign currency exchange risk is the financial risk to the Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk as the impact of rate changes for USD or CAD dollars is not expected to be material.

Credit Risk and Customer Concentration
The Company places its cash with a high credit quality financial institution. Periodically, the Company may carry cash balances at such financial institution in excess of the federally insured limit of $ 250,000 . The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes, based upon the quality of the financial institution, that the credit risk with regard to these deposits is not significant.
In the nine-months ended May 31, 2024, two customers accounted for 98 % of consolidated revenues. In the nine-months ended May 31, 2023, four customers accounted for 88 % of consolidated revenues.
Commitments and Contingencies
The Company’s policy is to record accruals for any such loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. In the event that estimates or assumptions prove to differ from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information. The Company, from time to time, may be subject to legal claims and proceedings related to matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Management has no knowledge of any such material claim against the Company with, at minimum, a reasonable possibility that a material loss may be incurred.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior period have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.
Estimates and Judgments
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the fiscal period. Some of the Company’s accounting policies require us to make subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. These accounting policies involve critical accounting estimates because they are particularly dependent on estimates and assumptions made by management about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimates are made. Although we have used our best estimates based on facts and circumstances available to us at the time, different estimates reasonably could have been used. Changes in the accounting estimates used by the Company are reasonably likely to occur from time to time, which may have a material effect on the presentation of financial condition and results of operations.
Management reviews our estimates, judgments, and assumptions periodically and reflects the effects of any revisions in the period in which they are deemed to be necessary. We believe that these estimates are reasonable. However, actual results could differ from these estimates.

3. Recent Accounting Guidance
Recently Adopted Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . This Accounting Standards Update represents a significant change in the accounting for credit losses model by requiring immediate recognition of management’s estimates of current expected credit losses (CECL). Under the prior model, losses were recognized only as they were incurred. The Company has determined that it has met the criteria of a smaller reporting company ("SRC") as of November 15, 2019. As such, ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Derivatives and Hedging, and Leases: Effective Dates amended the effective date for the Company to be for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective September 1, 2023, and determined that its impact on the accompanying consolidated financial statements is immaterial.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02-Codification Improvements-Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements, that contains amendments to the Codification that remove references to various FASB Concepts Statements. This effort facilitates Codification updates for technical corrections such as conforming amendments, clarifications to guidance, simplifications to wording or the structure of guidance, and other minor improvements. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Early application of the amendments in this ASU is permitted for all entities, for any fiscal year or interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued (or made available for issuance). If an entity adopts the amendments in an interim period, it must adopt them as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company is currently assessing the effect of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Stock Options
The Company has established an Equity Incentive Plan which was most recently amended by the Company’s shareholders on May 9, 2023. Pursuant to the amendments which were affected on January 18, 2024 when the Company filed a Form S-8 Registration Statement, the Equity Incentive Plan now has an evergreen formula, whereby on January 1 each year commencing January 1, 2024, the number of shares issuable pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan may be increased to a number equal to up to 10% of the issued share capital on December 31 of the previous year . The Company has registered an additional 527,111 common shares issuable pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan, for an aggregate 1,037,544 common shares issuable under the Equity Incentive Plan. Stock options currently granted must be exercised within five years from the date of grant or such lesser period as determined by the Company’s board of directors. The vesting terms of each grant are also set by the board of directors. The exercise price of an option is equal to or greater than the closing market price of the Company’s common shares on the day preceding the date of grant.
Other than the issuance of options as an incentive for engagement, the Company has historically issued options to all of the independent directors, as a group and to its employees and consultants, as a group. As a result, option issuances are typically no more than two to three times per year. While the Company does not have a formal policy regulating option issuances, the Company attempts to ensure that such option issuances do not occur when material information has not been disclosed to the public and no less than two weeks prior to any quarterly or annual financial statement filing.
