Liquidity risk assessment
Since its inception, the Company has been in the pre-commercialization stage with its ongoing operations and commercialization plans financed primarily by raising equity. The Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flow from operating and investing activities since its inception and expects to incur additional net losses while it continues to advance its commercialization efforts. As at May 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $9,748.
Management continuously monitors the Company’s cash resources against its short-term cash commitments to ensure there is sufficient liquidity to fund its costs for at least twelve months from the financial statements issuance date. It evaluates the Company’s liquidity to determine if there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. In preparing this liquidity assessment, management applies significant judgment in estimating future cash flow requirements of the Company based on budgets and forecasts, which includes developing assumptions related to: (i) the estimation of amount and timing of future cash outflows and inflows, and (ii) determining what future expenditures are committed and what could be considered discretionary. Based on this assessment, management has determined that current available liquidity will be sufficient to meet the Company’s obligations, commitments and budgeted expenditures for at least twelve months from the issuance date of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company’s ability to move to the next stage of its strategic development and construct manufacturing facilities is dependent on, among other factors, whether the Company can obtain the necessary financing through a combination of further technology licensing arrangements, government incentive programs, and/or the issuance of debt and/or equity. In particular, the Company will require capital sufficient to fund its equity contributions to the India JV (as defined under Note 9 below) for the construction of the planned Infinite Loop™ facility in India, as well as its ongoing cash requirements.
There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in attracting additional funding. Even if additional financing is available, it may not be available on terms favorable to the Company. Failure to secure additional financing on favorable terms when it becomes required would have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and on its ability to execute its business plan.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to use its judgment to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Those estimates and assumptions include the going concern assessment, estimates for depreciable lives and recoverability of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, assumptions made in the classification of convertible preferred securities, assumptions made in the revenue recognition for licensing contracts, assumptions made in calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation and other equity instruments, and the assessment of performance conditions for stock-based compensation awards.
Net earnings (loss) per share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. The Company includes common stock issuable in its calculation. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued, using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive.
For the three-month periods ended May 31, 2025 and 2024, the calculations of basic and diluted loss per share are the same because potential dilutive securities would have an antidilutive effect. As at May 31, 2025, the potentially dilutive securities consisted of 5,573,138 outstanding stock options (2024 – 2,971,216), 3,981,121 outstanding restricted stock units (2024 – 4,399,060), and nil outstanding warrants (2024 – 7,089,400).
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In August 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-05, Joint Venture Formations, which requires joint ventures to apply a new basis of accounting by measuring assets and liabilities at fair value upon formation. The amendments address diversity in practice by establishing requirements for recognition and measurement of net assets and liabilities on the formation date. The updated standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this accounting guidance for the three-month period ended May 31, 2025 did not impact the disclosures in our interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09—Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this Update address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information and includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The updated standard is effective for our annual period beginning after December 15, 2024 and all joint ventures formed on or after January 1, 2025, which for the Company is the annual period ending February 28, 2026. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the updated standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires public business entities to disclose, in interim and annual reporting periods, additional information about certain expenses in the notes to financial statements. The updated standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the updated standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2024-04, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments, which clarifies the accounting for settlements of convertible debt instruments that occur on terms different from the original contractual conversion terms. The amendments introduce a "preexisting contract approach," requiring that, to qualify for induced conversion accounting, the inducement offer must preserve the form of consideration and provide an amount of consideration that is no less than what was issuable under the original conversion privileges. This guidance applies to convertible debt instruments with cash conversion features and to instruments that are not currently convertible but had substantive conversion features at issuance and at the time the inducement offer is accepted. The updated standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for entities that have adopted the amendments in ASU 2020-06. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the updated standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In January 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date. This update clarifies the effective date of ASU 2024-03, which requires public business entities to provide disaggregated disclosures of certain income statement expenses. Specifically, ASU 2025-01 confirms that the guidance in ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the updated standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. |
