Long-term debt as of November 30, 2022 and February 28, 2022, was comprised of the following:

Investissement Québec financing facility

The Company recorded interest expense on the Investissement Québec loan for the three- and nine-month periods ended November 30, 2022 in the amount of $20,950 and $65,186 respectively (2021 – $21,704 and $44,098) and an accretion expense of $17,048 and $52,318 respectively (2021 – $16,723 and $38,295).

On November 21, 2022, the Company and Investissement Québec entered into an agreement to amend the existing Financing Facility which modifies the repayments of the principal amount (the “the Financing Facility Amendment”). As per the Financing Facility Amendment, $37,015 (CDN $50,000) of the principal amount is repayable in monthly installments in the fiscal year ending February 29, 2024 and the remainder of the principal amount is repayable in 72 monthly installments. Under the original terms of the Financing Facility, the principal amount was repayable in 84 monthly installments beginning in March of 2023. The Financing Facility Amendment does not modify the interest rates, the repayment terms of accrued interest or any other terms of the Financing Facility. The Amendment did not meet the criteria of ASC 470, Debt for an extinguishment of debt as the Amendment did substantially modify the terms of the Financing Facility. The Company therefore applied modification accounting and no immediate gain or loss was recognized related to the Amendment.

Principal repayments due on the Company’s indebtedness over the next five years are as follows:
