Overview

Lexaria's patented technology DehydraTECH improves the delivery of bioactive compounds while promoting healthy ingestion methods, lowers overall dosing, and is highly effective in active molecule delivery available in a range of formats from oral ingestible to oral buccal/sublingual to topical products. DehydraTECH substantially improves the rapidity and quantity of API transport to the blood plasma and brain using the body's natural process for distributing fatty acids via the oral route. This technology extends across many categories beyond the primary pharmaceutical focus of the Company from foods and beverages to cosmetic products and nutraceuticals.

Research & Development

Lexaria is advancing several R&D activities in both preclinical and clinical programs. Currently, our primary research program is the investigation of cannabidiol (CBD) for the reduction of hypertension with three human clinical trials concluded in calendar 2021 and a human clinical trial planned for Q2, 2022. Other programs include nicotine for oral pouches and nicotine replacement therapy, antivirals and related compounds for COVID-19 and other viral diseases, PDE5 inhibitors, NSAIDS, hormones, and others. From time to time the Company will engage in contract R&D for third parties who are interested in in evaluating DehydraTECH in their products.

During the quarter ended November 30, 2021, Lexaria incurred $458,709 (November 2020 $192,261) in R&D expenditures. Specific R&D programs are in ongoing development and align to our financial ability to undertake each research phase for each API. Due to our expanding portfolio coverage, we continually examine accelerated timetable options for testing, research, and development of each API. The first quarter of fiscal 2022 continued to highlight the direction of our research and development programs with confirmatory results from our ongoing programs. We are devoting an increasing proportion of our resources and focus towards pharmaceutical applications as launched in 2021 fiscal year.

In September 2021 the Company reported successful results from its HYPER-H21-2 human study of DehydraTECH-CBD in arterial stiffness. On December 29, 2021, we announced the Company received approval of its study protocols submitted for our study HYPER-H21-4 from the Independent Review Board. This study is expected to consist of 60 volunteers between the ages of 45-70 using three 150 mg doses of DehydraTECH-CBD, every day for the 6-week duration of the study. The study will use a double blinded, randomized cross-over design, and a placebo control. Some volunteers will already be using leading standard of care hypertension drugs such as ACE inhibitors with or without diuretics which will help evaluate the efficacy of DehydraTECH-CBD with and without other hypertension treatments. The extended duration of the study will allow Lexaria to gather critical data monitoring of DehydraTECH-CBD over time and will evaluate the potential for longer term health benefits. This study should "de-risk" outcomes prior to Lexaria's planned entry into regulatory pathways for the use of DehydraTECH-CBD to treat hypertension and perhaps other forms of cardiovascular disease.

In October 2021 the Company reported results from its THC-A-21-1 in vivo study of DehydraTECH-THC showing it successfully elevated THC levels in blood plasma, requiring only 15 minutes at levels comparable to those achieved in 45 minutes with concentration-matched controls.

On October 5, 2021, Lexaria published results of from its NIC-A21-1 in vivo trial of DehydraTECH-NICZ (nicotine benzoate) deliver via oral pouches. Favorable results were all statistically significant, supporting further evaluation of the candidate. Lexaria plans to progress to a larger investigation in human volunteers of DehydraTECH-nicotine versus leading brands. Lexaria is currently in the design phase of this proposed human clinical study, which will be independently funded with existing capital.

The Company continues to report progress on its R&D programs through its filing of Form 8-Ks and other public releases. These results of these programs can also be found on the Company's website: www.LexariaBioscience.com.

We will continue to pursue patent protection in more than 40 countries around the world as vigorously as we are able, since the successful granting of more of those applications could lead to material increases in shareholder value. The Company currently has over 50 patent applications pending worldwide and during the quarter ended November 30, 2021, we have been advised that our first patent in Mexico in the Company's second patent family had been allowed.

The Company's issued patents in the United States, Australia, Europe, India, Mexico, and Japan are as follows:

Due to the complexity of pursuing patent protection, the quantity of patent applications will vary continuously as each application advances or stalls. The Company is also filing new patent applications for new discoveries that arise from the Company's R&D programs and, due to the inherent unpredictability of scientific discovery, it is not possible to predict if or how often such new applications might be filed.





Reverse Stock Split

On January 11, 2021, the Company filed an amendment and restatement of its articles of incorporation to effectuate a 1-for-30 reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. The purpose of the reverse stock split was to meet Nasdaq's minimum stock price requirement. The reverse stock split did not change the number of authorized shares of common stock, which remains at 220,000,000 shares. All warrants, options, share and per share information in this Report gives retroactive effect to the 1-for-30 reverse stock split.

Public Offering

On January 14, 2021, the Company closed an underwritten public offering with the issuance of 2,102,856 shares of the Company's common stock price of $5.25 per share with an equivalent number of five-year warrants at an exercise price of $6.58. Additionally, 227,161 Representative Warrants were issued as partial consideration to the underwriters of the offering that have a five-year term at an exercise price of $6.58. Net of fees and disbursements, the Company received net proceeds of $9,471,497.





LEXX Market Listing

The Company's common stock was uplisted from trading on the OTCQX under "LXRP" to the Nasdaq Capital Market where our common stock and warrants began trading under the symbols "LEXX" and "LEXXW", respectively, effective as of the opening of market trading on January 12, 2021.

The Company, trading under the symbol "LXX", voluntary delisted from the Canadian Securities Exchanges ("CSE") effective after the closing of trading on Wednesday, July 7, 2021. The overwhelming majority of trading has moved to Nasdaq and by delisting from the CSE the Company expects to realize savings in fees and managerial time and effort that had been required to maintain a dual listing.





Asset Sale

On December 9, 2020, Lexaria CanPharm ULC ("CanPharm") completed a disposition (the "Disposition") of its use and licensing rights to use its DehydraTECH technology (the "Assets") specifically in association with non-pharmaceutical products containing cannabis molecules that contain 0.3% or greater THC. The purpose of the Disposition was to remove the Company's association with cannabis as it remains a Schedule 1 Drug and thereby eliminating any such regulatory restrictions cannabis products may create. The Disposition assisted the Company in obtaining a listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") on January 12, 2021. As a result of the Disposition, CanPharm assigned to the purchaser Hill Street license agreements with three existing non-related party licensees.

In consideration for the Assets, Hill Street provided CanPharm with C$350,000 cash, a promissory note bearing a principal amount of C$2,000,000 and bearing an interest rate of 10% (the "Note") and C$1,500,000 in shares of Hill Street, issuable in three tranches by April 9, 2022, of which C$1,149,939.43 worth of Hill Street stock has been issued to CanPharm to date. The repayment of the Note does not have a fixed maturity date and is based on quarterly installments equal to 5% of the gross sales realized by Hill Street of DehydraTECH enabled products. Due to the uncertainty pertaining to the settlement of the Note, management concluded that the note had $NIL value at the time of the sale and was recorded as such. Some of the factors considered in the $Nil valuation of the Note were that the legal sales of THC products in the US and Canada have little or no history which made the expectant quarterly payments very difficult to forecast. Further, Hill Street had no experience selling THC products and at the time of the sale was not licenced to produce and sell such products. Therefore, the Company considered risk of default high and the collectability of the Note as highly doubtful. Since the date of sale Hill Street has repaid $4,585 in the year-ended August 31, 2021. Subsequent to fiscal 2021, the Company has received a further $6,880 payment toward the balance of the Note. These amounts are considered other income when received.

Impact of COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to present uncertainty and unforecastable new risks to the Company and its' business plan. Restrictions on national and international travel and required business closures present challenges in carrying out normal business activities related to corporate finance efforts and the pursuit of new customers throughout North America who might otherwise access the retail products of our licensees. As a result, the pandemic has increased risk of lower revenues and higher losses. To date, we have not experienced a material impact on our financial statements, impairments of any of our assets or any major business disruptions, including with our vendors.

We have made modifications to our normal operations including requiring team members to work remotely on a staggered basis. To the extent possible, we are conducting business as usual, with necessary or advisable modifications to employee travel. At this time, these measures will continue in force for the near term.

We will continue to actively monitor the rapidly evolving situation related to COVID-19 and may take further actions that alter our operations, including those that may be required by federal, state, provincial, or local authorities, or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees and other third parties with whom we do business. We do not know when, or if, it will become practical to relax or eliminate some or all these measures entirely.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.





Critical Accounting Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with US GAAP. These accounting principles require management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses during the periods reported. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are reasonable based on information available to management at the time that such estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates, judgments and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financials. For a discussion of our critical accounting estimates, please read Note 3 to our financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2021. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting estimates previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2021.





Capital Assets

Capital assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and depreciated using the straight-line method over their useful lives or otherwise by units of production.





Patents

Capitalized patent costs represent legal costs incurred to establish patents. When patents reach a mature stage, any associated legal costs are typically maintenance fees and expensed as incurred. Capitalized patent costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the patent. In the period ended November 30, 2021, the Company recognized $15,840 attributable to capitalized patents.

Revenue Recognition



Product Revenue

Revenue from the sale of products is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured, which typically occurs upon shipment. The Company reports its sales net of actual sales returns.

Licensing Revenue from Intellectual Property

We recognize revenue for license fees at a point in time following the transfer of our intellectual property, our patented lipid nutrient infusion technology DehydraTECH for infusing APIs, to the licensee, which typically occurs on delivery of documentation.

Usage Fees from Intellectual Property

We recognize revenue for usage fees when usage of our DehydraTECH intellectual property occurs by licensees infusing an API into one or more of their product lines for sale.





Funding Requirements

We anticipate that our expenditures will increase in connection with our ongoing R&D program, specifically with respect to our animal and human clinical trials of our DehydraTECH formulations for the purposes of treating hypertension and infectious diseases. As we move forward with our Investigational New Drug application with the FDA, we anticipate that our expenditures will further increase and accordingly, we expect to incur increased operating losses and negative cash flows for the foreseeable future.

Through November 30, 2021, we have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from the sale of our common stock. The Company has consistently incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations, including net losses of $2,003,482 and $710,121 for the three months ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The continuation of our Company as a going concern is dependent upon our Company raising additional capital and/or attaining and maintaining profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recovery and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should our Company discontinue operations. The recurring losses from operations and net capital deficiency do raise doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year following the date that these consolidated financial statements are issued. As of the issuance date of these consolidated interim financial statements, we expect our cash and cash equivalents of approximately $9.7m as at November 30, 2021 will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through the forthcoming 12 months from the issuance date of this report.

Revenue

Product revenues of $7k and licensing usage fees of $Nil during period ended November 30, 2021, constitute a significant decline in intermediate product sales and related licensing usage fees. Our primary customer in the B2B product revenue stream has been delayed in chain-store rollouts due resulting in overstocked inventory and as such there was no manufacturing & sales of new inventory for this licensee for the quarter ended November 30, 2021.A number of our other licensees are experiencing suspended or curtailed business activities due to the impact of COVID-19 on markets and consumer spending. The abilities of other licensees to generate ongoing sales, thereby increasing usage fees are expected to increase as the effects of the pandemic are eventually diminished. We have continued strong interest in our intermediate products but cannot predict how long the pandemic will affect purchasing decisions of retail customers that ultimately affect the consumer product manufacturers that utilize our intermediate products. Nor can we predict when recovery of the general economy will translate into increasing licensing or usage revenues.

Our licensing revenues consist of IP licensing fees for the transfer of the Technology and usage fees that occur over time. IP licensing fees are due at the signing of definitive agreements for the Technology and can include payments due upon transfer of the Technology and installment payments that are receivable within 12 months.





Research and Development

Expenditures on R&D increased by $266k for the period ended November 30, 2021, as the company undertook several studies within its 2022 applied research and development program focusing on DehydraTECH-CBD to treat hypertension.





General and Administrative

Our other general and administrative expenses increased by $502k during the period ended November 30, 2021, over the same period last year. The increase is primarily comprised of an unrealized loss on marketable securities ($340k) and non-cashed stock-based compensation on options granted and vested ($121k).

Consulting Fees and Salaries

Our consulting fees increased by $407k primarily due to non-cash stock-based compensation on options granted and vested ($409k) in the quarter.





Legal and Professional Fees

Our professional fees decreased by $107k during the period compared to the same period in the prior year. Prior year expenditures were higher due to increased patent and trademark filings, the up list to the Nasdaq Capital Markets, and additional advisory services utilized. We recognize certain legal fees, tax advice fees, and accounting services all as "Professional Fees."

Net cash used in operating activities increased by $356,791 for the period compared with cash used in operating during the same period in 2020. This difference was largely due to the increased expenditures pertaining to R&D, professional fees, and investor outreach programs.





Investing Activities

Net cash from investing activities increased by $52,440 over 2021 due to increased spending on capitalized US patents filings and the purchase of equipment.





Financing Activities

Net cash provided from financing activities decreased $2,220 during the period ended November 30, 2021 due to right-of-use lease payments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have accumulated a large deficit since inception that has primarily resulted from executing our business plan, including R&D expenditures, in seeking to identify and develop our intellectual property patents for licensing and product creation. We expect to continue to incur losses for at least the short term.

To date, we have obtained cash and funded our operations primarily through equity financings and limited amounts from revenue generation while our licensees ramp up production and market expansions. We expect to continue to evaluate various funding alternatives on an ongoing basis as needed to maintain operations, to continue our research programs and to expand our patent portfolio. If we determine it is advisable to raise additional funds, there is no assurance that adequate funding will be available to us or, if available, that such funding will be available on terms that we or our stockholders view as favorable. Market volatility and global economics may have a significant impact on the availability of funding sources and the terms at which any funding may be available.





Short Term Liquidity

On November 30, 2021, we had $9.7m in cash and $10.7m of working capital. Based on our current and upcoming research and development programs and our projected general and administration expenditures, we have determined that our cash resources are sufficient to allow us to continue operations through at least the next twelve months from the issuance date of this Quarterly Report.





Long Term Liquidity

It will require substantial cash to achieve our objectives for developing and patenting our intellectual property across all applicable market and industry segments. This process typically takes many years and potentially millions of dollars for each segment. If we pursue full commercial exploitation of all applicable market and industry segment opportunities, we will need to obtain significant funding from existing or new relationships, increasing revenue streams or from other sources of liquidity such as the sale of equity, issuance of debt or other transactions.

Cash requirements will vary depending on the results of our research programs and the requirements of each industry segment pursued. Pursuit of each segment will progress or be curtailed based on available sources of cash with which to execute individual segment business plans. The requirements will also be affected by transactions with existing or new relationships and the depth of regulatory requirements in each segment for compliance required to approve our IP and to market and license it. These changes to requirements and transactions may impact our liquidity as well as affect our expenditures.
