You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this "Quarterly Report") primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and operating results. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors described in the section titled “Risk Factors” previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 9, 2023 (the “2022 Annual Report”) and in Part II, Item 1A in Quarterly Report. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report. The results, events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur, and actual results, events or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.

In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based on information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report. And while we believe that information provides a reasonable basis for these statements, that information may be limited or incomplete. Our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on these statements.

The forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments.

We may announce material business and financial information to our investors using our investor relations website (https://mindmed.co/investor-resources/). We therefore encourage investors and others interested in our company to review the information that we make available on our website. Our website and information included in or linked to our website are not part of this Quarterly Report.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc. (the “Company” or “MindMed”) is incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. Its wholly owned subsidiaries, Mind Medicine, Inc. (“MindMed US”), HealthMode, Inc., MindMed Pty Ltd., and MindMed GmbH are incorporated in Delaware, Delaware, Australia and Switzerland respectively. MindMed US was incorporated on May 30, 2019.

MindMed is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel product candidates to treat brain health disorders. The Company’s mission is to be the global leader in the development and delivery of treatments that unlock new opportunities to improve patient outcomes. The Company is developing a pipeline of innovative product candidates, with and without acute perceptual effects, targeting neurotransmitter pathways that play key roles in brain health disorders. This specifically includes pharmaceutically optimized product candidates derived from the psychedelic and empathogen drug classes, including MM-120 and MM-402, the Company’s lead product candidates.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $219.3 million. Through March 31, 2023, all the Company’s financial support has primarily been provided by proceeds from the issuance of Common Shares and warrants to purchase Common Shares.

As the Company continues its expansion, it may seek additional financing and/or strategic investments however, there can be no assurance that any additional financing or strategic investments will be available to the Company on acceptable terms, if at all. If events or circumstances occur such that the Company does not obtain additional funding, it will most likely be required to reduce its plans and/or certain discretionary spending, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve its intended business objectives. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if it were unable to continue as a going concern. Management believes that it has sufficient working capital on hand to fund operations through at least the next twelve months from the date of the issuance of these financial statements.

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, and as a result of this election, the condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company Financial Accounting Standards Board standards’ effective dates. The Company may take advantage of these exemptions up until the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of an offering or such earlier time that it is no longer an EGC.

BASIS OF pRESENTATION AND Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022, which are included in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 9, 2023 (the “2022 Annual Report”). The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in the audited financial statements for the periods ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, included in the 2022 Annual Report. Since the date of those financial statements, there have been no changes to its significant accounting policies, except as noted below.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative U.S. GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification and as amended by Accounting Standards Updates of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Intercompany balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s Board approved a reverse share split of the Company’s common shares, no par value per share (the “Common Shares”) on a 15-for-1 basis, which was effected on August 26, 2022 and which brought the bid price of the Company’s Common Shares above the minimum bid price requirement under the Nasdaq Listing Rules ("August Share Split"). No fractional Common Shares were issued as a result of the August Share Split. Each fractional Common Share remaining upon the August Share Split that was less than 1/2 of a Common Share was cancelled and each fractional Common Share that was at least 1/2 of a Common Share was changed to one whole Common Share. The August Share Split affected all Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the August Share Split, as well as the number of Common Shares available under the Company’s stock option plan and equity incentive plan. In addition, the August Share Split effected a reduction in the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of stock options, vesting of restricted share units and exercise of warrants outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the August Share Split. All references to Common Shares, options to purchase Common Shares, share data, per share data, and related information in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the effect of the August Share Split for all periods presented.

Foreign Currency

The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar (“CAD”). The local currency of the Company’s foreign affiliates is generally their functional currency. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the foreign affiliates and the parent entity, are translated from their respective functional currency to U.S. dollars using fiscal year-end exchange rates, income and expense accounts are translated at the average rates in effect during the fiscal year and equity accounts are translated at historical rates. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are remeasured to the functional currency at the exchange rate on the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are remeasured at period-end using the period-end exchange rate.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all investments with an original maturity date at the time of purchase of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s cash equivalents consists of U.S. government money market funds at a high-credit quality and federally insured financial institution. The Company’s accounts, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company had cash equivalents of $122.3 million as of March 31, 2023, and $131.7 million as of December 31, 2022.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized.

Accordingly, the 2022 USD Financing Warrants are recognized at fair value upon issuance and are adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period. Any change in fair value is recognized on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Incentive Plan

Effective March 13, 2023, the Company filed Form S-8 to amend the definition of "Market Value" under both the MindMed Stock Option Plan and the Performance and Restricted Share Unit Plan to be based upon the closing price of the Company's stock as traded on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange. This change is only applicable for equity compensation awards granted subsequent to the filing of the Form S-8. Accordingly, stock options granted after March 13, 2023 ("USD options") are denominated in USD, and the grant date fair value of restricted share units granted after March 13, 2023 ("USD RSUs") are denominated in USD. The fair value of both USD options and USD RSUs is based upon the closing price of the Company's stock as traded on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange.

2020 Plan

On February 27, 2020, the Company adopted the MindMed Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) to advance the interests of the Company by providing employees, contractors and directors of the Company a performance incentive for continued and improved service with the Company. The Plan sets out the framework for determining eligibility as well as the terms of any stock-based compensation granted. The Plan was approved by the shareholders as part of the terms of an arrangement agreement (the “Arrangement”) entered into by the Company on October 15, 2019 in connection with the completion of its reverse acquisition, which completed on February 27, 2020 (the “Transaction”) and is authorized to issue 15% of the Company’s outstanding Common Shares under the terms of the Plan.

The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activity (excluding 63,600 USD options granted with an exercise price of $2.98):


	Number of Options			Weighted Average Exercise Price (CAD$)		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value (CAD$)
Options outstanding at December 31, 2022		2,190,315		$	24.29		4.1	$	4,484

Options vested and exercisable at March 31, 2023		843,973		$	26.43		3.1	$	4,000

The expense recognized related to options during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $1.7 million.

Restricted Share Units

The Company has adopted a Performance and Restricted Share Unit Plan to advance the interests of the Company by providing employees, contractors and directors of the Company a performance incentive for continued and improved service with the Company. The plan sets out the framework for determining eligibility as well as the terms of any stock-based compensation granted. The plan was approved by the shareholders as part of the Arrangement. The fair value has been estimated based on the closing price of the Common Shares on the day prior to the grant.


				(CAD$)					(USD$)
	Number of RSUs			Number of RSUs			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value		Number of RSUs		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value

Balance at March 31, 2023		2,452,878			1,403,948		$	17.22		1,048,930	$	3.03

The expense recognized related to restricted share units ("RSUs") during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $2.0 million.

Directors' Deferred Share Unit Plan

2021 Plan

On April 16, 2021 the Company adopted the MindMed Director's Deferred Share Unit Plan (the "DDSU Plan"). The DDSU Plan sets out a framework to grant non-executive directors DDSU's which are cash settled awards. The DDSU Plan states that the fair market value of one DDSU shall be equal to the volume weighted average trading price of a Common Share on the NEO Exchange for the five business days immediately preceding the valuation date. The DDSU's generally vest ratably over twelve months after grant and are settled within 90 days of the date the director ceases service to the Company.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 stock-based compensation expense of a nominal amount was recognized relating to the revaluation of the vested DDSUs, recorded in general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. There were 99,260 DDSUs vested as of March 31, 2023. The liability associated with the outstanding vested DDSU’s was $0.2 million as of March 31, 2023 and was recorded to accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Stock-based Compensation Expense

Stock-based compensation expense for all equity arrangements for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
Research and development	$	1,809	$	2,005
General and administrative		1,941		1,787
Total share-based compensation expense	$	3,750	$	3,792

As of March 31, 2023, there was approximately $14.3 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense, related to unvested options granted to employees under the Company’s incentive plan that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.4 years for CAD options, and 3.8 years for USD options. As of March 31, 2023, there was approximately $20.0 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense, related to RSUs granted to employees under the Company’s incentive plan that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5 years for CAD RSUs, and 4.0 years for USD RSUs.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As of March 31, 2023, the Company has obligations to make future payments, representing significant research and development contracts and other commitments that are known and committed in the amount of approximately $33.6 million. Most of these agreements are cancelable by the Company with notice. These commitments include agreements related to the conduct of the clinical trials, sponsored research, manufacturing and preclinical studies.

The Company enters into research, development and license agreements in the ordinary course of business where the Company receives research services and rights to proprietary technologies. Milestone and royalty payments that may become due under various agreements are dependent on, among other factors, clinical trials, regulatory approvals and ultimately the successful development of a new drug, the outcome and timing of which are uncertain.

The Company periodically enters into research and license agreements with third parties that include indemnification provisions customary in the industry. These guarantees generally require the Company to compensate the other party for certain damages and costs incurred as a result of claims arising from research and development activities undertaken by or on behalf of the Company. In some cases, the maximum potential amount of future payments that could be required under these indemnification provisions could be unlimited. These indemnification provisions generally survive termination of the underlying agreement. The nature of the indemnification obligations prevents the Company from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount it could be required to pay. Historically, the Company has not made any indemnification payments under such agreements and no amount has been accrued in the condensed consolidated financial statements with respect to these indemnification obligations.

Overview

We are a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel product candidates to treat brain health disorders. Our mission is to be the global leader in the development and delivery of treatments that unlock new opportunities to improve patient outcomes. We are developing a pipeline of innovative product candidates, with and without acute perceptual effects, targeting neurotransmitter pathways that play key roles in brain health disorders. This specifically includes pharmaceutically optimized product candidates derived from the psychedelic and empathogen drug classes, including MM-120 and MM-402, our lead product candidates.

We were incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. Our wholly owned subsidiary, Mind Medicine, Inc. (“MindMed US”) was incorporated in Delaware. Prior to February 27, 2020, our operations were conducted through MindMed US.

On February 26, 2021, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of HealthMode Inc. (“HealthMode”), a digital medicine and therapeutics company that used artificial intelligence enabled digital measurement to increase the precision and speed of clinical research and patient monitoring. The acquisition enabled us to build our digital medicine division. We plan to utilize these technologies in our clinical trials to enhance the quality of the data that is collected during our clinical trials.

Since inception, we have incurred losses while advancing the research and development of our products and processes. Our net losses were $24.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and $18.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $219.3 million and cash and cash equivalents of $129.4 million

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we continued to enhance the resources it requires to build our pipeline of opportunities. This included adding personnel and contract resources and ramping up the nonclinical aspects of our activities. In addition, considerable effort was directed towards employing a successful financing strategy.

Research & Development Program Update

In April 2023, our collaborators at the University Hospital Basel released positive topline data from a double-blind, investigator-initiated trial evaluating lysergide in the treatment of major depressive disorder (“MDD”). The topline data demonstrated significant, rapid, durable and beneficial effects of lysergide and its potential to mitigate symptoms of MDD. The high dose lysergide regimen in which patients received 100 µg at their first dosing day and 200 µg at their second dosing day (separated by four weeks) resulted in statistically and clinically significant improvements on the primary endpoint, which was the change in clinician-rated Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (IDS-C) scores 6 weeks after the first administration as compared to control (whether or not the patient received a second administration). The control group in this study received a lower dose regimen of 25 µg on both treatment days. Patients in the high dose arm (n=28) demonstrated a least square mean change from baseline in IDS-C scores of -12.9 points compared to -3.6 points in the lower dose arm (n=27, p=0.02). The statistically significant benefit as measured by IDS-C was maintained up to 16 weeks after the first administration compared to placebo (p=0.008). Data from the secondary endpoints were also encouraging. The investigational drug was generally well-tolerated, as indicated by reported adverse events, changes in vital signs and laboratory values.

Components of Operating Results

Operating Expenses

Research and Development

To date, our resources have focused primarily on the research and development of our product candidates MM-120, MM-402 and MM-110 (prior to when we paused development of MM-110 in the third quarter of 2022) and the commencement of related clinical activities, including funding data and study acquisitions and acquiring the materials required to supply our studies.

Research and development expenses account for a significant portion of our operating expenses. Research and development expenses consist primarily of direct and indirect costs incurred for the development of our product candidates, including:

•

payroll, consulting and benefits expenses;

•

licensing fees;

•

manufacturing costs to produce clinical trial materials;

•

clinical research costs associated with discovery, preclinical and clinical testing of our product candidates;

•

data and study acquisition cost; and

•

allocated operational expenses, which include direct or allocated expenses for information technologies and human resources.

We may also incur in-process research and development expense as we acquire or in-license assets from other parties. Technology acquisitions are expensed or capitalized based upon the asset achieving technological feasibility in accordance with management’s assessment regarding the ultimate recoverability of the amounts paid and the potential for alternative future use. Acquired in-process research and development costs that have no alternative future use are immediately expensed.

We expect our research and development expenses to increase for the foreseeable future as we continue the clinical development of our product candidates and other preclinical programs in generalized anxiety disorder (“GAD”), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (“ADHD”), autism spectrum disorder (“ASD”) and other potential or future indications, including initiating additional and larger clinical trials.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation costs, including stock-based compensation, for executive management and administrative employees, including finance and accounting, legal, human resources and other administrative functions, professional services fees, advisory and professional service fees in connection with financing transactions, insurance expenses and allocated expenses.

We expect our general and administrative expenses to continue to increase for the foreseeable future as we continue to advance our research and development programs, grow our business and, if any of our product candidates receive marketing approval, commence commercialization activities. We also expect to incur additional costs related to public relations, printing and legal fees in connection with our ongoing proxy contest.

* Represents a change greater than 300%

Research and development expenses increased by $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to increases of $2.9 million in expenses related to clinical research for the MM-120 GAD study, $0.9 million in expenses related to our MM-402 program, and $0.2 million in internal personnel costs as a result of increasing research and development capacities, offset by a decrease of $0.7 million in expenses related to our MM-110 program, and a decrease of $0.9 million of expenses in connection with various external R&D collaborations.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was consistent with the amount compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. Consistent with the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company continues to incur costs to support the growth of our business.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest Income (Expense), Net

Interest income, net increased by $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. This was primarily due to interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents as a result of higher cash and cash equivalents and higher interest rates during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Foreign Exchange Gain/(Loss), Net

Foreign exchange loss decreased by $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to unfavorable changes in foreign exchange rates during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Other Income

Other income decreased by a nominal amount for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Change in fair value of 2022 USD Financing Warrants

Revaluation loss on the 2022 USD Financing Warrants liability was $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Loss on revaluation of the 2022 USD Financing Warrants liability consists of the change in the fair value of our 2022 USD Financing Warrants that were issued as part of our public equity offering which closed on September 30, 2022. No liability classified warrants were outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily from the issuance of equity. Our primary capital needs are for funds to support our scientific research and development activities including staffing, manufacturing, preclinical studies, clinical trials, administrative costs and for working capital.

We have experienced operating losses and cash outflows from operations since inception and will require ongoing financing in order to continue our research and development activities. We have not earned any revenue or reached successful commercialization of our products. Our future operations are dependent upon our ability to finance our cash requirements which will allow us to continue our research and development activities and the commercialization of our products. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in continuing to finance our operations.

Our cash and cash equivalents and our working capital at March 31, 2023 was $129.4 million and $108.3 million, respectively.

On September 30, 2022, we closed an underwritten public offering of 7,058,823 common shares and accompanying 2022 USD Financing Warrants to purchase 7,058,823 common shares at a combined offering price of $4.25 per common share, for net proceeds of $27.5 million. Each 2022 USD Financing Warrant is immediately exercisable for one common share at an initial exercise price of $4.25 per common share, subject to certain adjustments and will expire on September 30, 2027.

Future Funding Requirements

To date, we have not generated any revenue. We do not expect to generate any meaningful revenue unless and until we obtain regulatory approval of and commercialize any of our product candidates, and we do not know when, or if at all, that will occur. We will continue to require substantial additional capital to develop our product candidates and fund operations for the foreseeable future. Moreover, we expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we continue the development of and seek regulatory approvals for our product candidates. Further, we are subject to all the risks incident in the development of new pharmaceutical products, and we may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown factors that may harm our business. Our expenses will increase if, and as, we:

•

advance our product candidates through preclinical and clinical development;

•

seek regulatory approvals for any product candidates that successfully complete clinical trials;

•

seek to discover and develop additional product candidates;

•

establish a sales, marketing, medical affairs and distribution infrastructure to commercialize any product candidates for which we may obtain marketing approval and intend to commercialize on our own or jointly;

•

expand our operational, financial and management systems and increase personnel, including personnel to support our development, manufacturing and commercialization efforts and our operations as a public company;

We expect our current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our current operating plans into the first half of 2025. However, our forecast of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations is a forward-looking statement that involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary materially. In order to complete the development of our product candidates and to build the sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure that we believe will be necessary to commercialize our product candidates, if approved, we will require substantial additional funding. Until we can generate a sufficient amount of revenue from the commercialization of our product candidates, we may seek to raise any necessary additional capital through the sale of equity, debt financings or other capital sources, which could include income from collaborations, strategic partnerships or marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements with third parties or from grants. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our shareholders will be or could be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common shareholders. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, including restricting our operations and limiting our ability to incur liens,

issue additional debt, pay dividends, repurchase our Common Shares, make certain investments or engage in merger, consolidation, licensing or asset sale transactions. If we raise funds through collaborations, strategic partnerships and other similar arrangements with third parties, we may be required to grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves. We may be unable to raise additional funds or to enter into such agreements or arrangements on favorable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed, we may be required to delay, reduce or eliminate our product development or future commercialization efforts. We have based our projections of operating capital requirements on our current operating plan, which is based on several assumptions that may prove to be incorrect and we may use all of our available capital resources sooner than we expect. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with research, development and commercialization of product candidates, we are unable to estimate the exact amount and timing of our working capital requirements. Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including:

•

the scope, progress, results and costs of researching and developing our product candidates, and conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials;

•

the costs, timing and outcome of regulatory review of our product candidates;

•

the costs of future activities, including product sales, medical affairs, marketing, manufacturing and distribution, for any of our product candidates for which we receive marketing approval;

•

the costs of manufacturing commercial-grade products and sufficient inventory to support commercial launch;

•

the revenue, if any, received from commercial sale of our products, should any of our product candidates receive marketing approval;

•

the cost and timing of hiring new employees to support our continued growth;

•

the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights and defending intellectual property-related claims;

•

the ability to establish and maintain collaborations on favorable terms, if at all;

•

the extent to which we acquire or in-license other product candidates and technologies; and

•

the timing, receipt and amount of sales of, or milestone payments related to or royalties on, our current or future product candidates, if any.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2023, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP and on a basis consistent with those accounting principles followed by us and disclosed in Note 2 to our most recent annual audited consolidated financial statements in the 2022 Annual Report. The preparation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires our management to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenue generated and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these judgments and estimates under different assumptions or conditions and any such differences may be material.

Other than as described under Note 2 of our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies from those described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included in our 2022 Annual Report.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 to our unaudited financial statements located in “Part I – Financial Information, Item 1. Financial Statements” in this Quarterly Report for a description of recent accounting pronouncements applicable to our financial statements.

Emerging Growth Company Status

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies.

We have elected to use this extended transition period to enable us to comply with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Fully Diluted Share Capital

The number of issued and outstanding common shares on a fully converted basis as at March 31, 2023 was as follows:


	Number of Common Share Equivalents
Common Shares		38,290,111
Stock Options		2,197,417
Restricted Stock Units		2,501,799
Compensation Warrants		125,890

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

As a "smaller reporting company" as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are permitted to omit information required by this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of March 31, 2023, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation with the participation of management of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2023.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Internal Controls

A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. In addition, the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Part Ii

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become involved in litigation or other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently a party to any material litigation or legal proceedings that, in the opinion of our management, are likely to have a material adverse effect on our business. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, negative publicity, reputational harm and other factors.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results, some of which are beyond our control. In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, the risks and uncertainties that we believe are most important for you to consider are discussed in Part I-Item 1A under the heading “Risk Factors” in our 2022 Annual Report. The risk factors set forth below are risk factors containing changes, which may be material, from the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A of our 2022 Annual Report.

Our business, financial condition and operating results could be negatively affected as a result of the pending proxy contest or other actions by shareholders.

A group of Company shareholders (the “Nominating Group”) has notified us of their intention to nominate four director candidates for election to our six-member board of directors at the 2023 AGM and wage a proxy contest in support of their candidates and in opposition to four of our candidates.

Responding to proxy contests and other actions by the Nominating Group or other such shareholders can be costly and time-consuming, and could divert the attention of our Board and management team from the management of our operations and the pursuit of our business strategies. A proxy contest, by the Nominating Group or any other shareholder, and any potential related litigation could have a material adverse effect on us for the following reasons:

•

Such shareholders may attempt to effect changes in our governance and strategic direction or to acquire control over the Board or the Company. In particular, if the Nominating Group is successful in the current proxy contest, it may gain control of the Board.

•

While we welcome the opinions of all shareholders, responding to proxy contests and related litigation by shareholders is likely to be costly and time-consuming, disrupt our operations, and potentially divert the attention of our Board, management team and other employees away from their regular duties and the pursuit of business opportunities to enhance shareholder value.

•

Perceived uncertainties as to our future direction as a result of potential changes to the composition of the Board may lead to the perception of a change in the strategic direction of the business, instability or lack of continuity, which may cause concern to our existing or potential collaboration partners, employees and shareholders; may be exploited by our competitors; may result in the loss of potential business opportunities or limit our ability to timely initiate or advance clinical trials; and may make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel and business partners.

•

Proxy contests and related litigation by shareholders could cause significant fluctuations in our share price based on temporary or speculative market perceptions or other factors that do not necessarily reflect the underlying fundamentals and prospects of our business.
