Risk Factors
|
|
·
|
for ANDA candidates, bioequivalence studies results may not meet regulatory requirements for the demonstration of bioequivalence;
|
|
·
|
for new drug application (“
NDA
”) candidates, a product may not demonstrate acceptable clinical trial results, even though it demonstrated positive preclinical trial results;
|
|
·
|
for NDA candidates, a product may not be effective in treating a specified condition or illness;
|
|
·
|
a product may have harmful side effects on humans;
|
|
·
|
products may fail to receive the necessary regulatory approvals from the FDA or other regulatory bodies, or there may be delays in receiving such approvals. Among other things, such delays may be caused by slow enrolment in clinical studies, extended lengths of time to achieve study endpoints, additional time requirements for data analysis, discussions with the FDA, FDA requests for additional preclinical or clinical data, or unexpected safety, efficacy or manufacturing issues;
|
|
·
|
difficulties may be encountered in formulating products, scaling up manufacturing processes or in getting approval for manufacturing;
|
|
·
|
manufacturing costs, pricing or reimbursement issues, other competitive therapeutics, or other commercial factors may make the product uneconomical; and
|
|
·
|
the proprietary rights of others, and their competing products and technologies, may prevent the product from being developed or commercialized.
|
|
·
|
the availability of alternative products from competitors;
|
|
·
|
the prices of our products relative to those of our competitors;
|
|
·
|
the timing of our market entry;
|
|
·
|
the ability to market our products effectively at the retail level; and
|
|
·
|
the acceptance of our products by government and private formularies.
|
|
·
|
delays in patient enrolment, and variability in the number and types of patients available for clinical trials;
|
|
·
|
regulators or institutional review boards may not allow us to commence or continue a clinical trial;
|
|
·
|
our inability, or the inability of our partners, to manufacture or obtain from third parties materials sufficient to complete our clinical trials;
|
|
·
|
delays or failures in reaching agreement on acceptable clinical trial contracts or clinical trial protocols with prospective clinical trial sites;
|
|
·
|
risks associated with trial design, which may result in a failure of the trial to show statistically significant results even if the product candidate is effective;
|
|
·
|
difficulty in maintaining contact with patients after treatment commences, resulting in incomplete data;
|
|
·
|
poor effectiveness of product candidates during clinical trials;
|
|
·
|
safety issues, including adverse events associated with product candidates;
|
|
·
|
the failure of patients to complete clinical trials due to adverse side effects, dissatisfaction with the product candidate, or other reasons;
|
|
·
|
governmental or regulatory delays or changes in regulatory requirements, policy and guidelines; and
|
|
·
|
varying interpretation of data by the FDA or other applicable foreign regulatory agencies.
|
|
·
|
Contract manufacturers can encounter difficulties in achieving volume production, quality control and quality assurance, or technology transfer, as well as shortages of qualified personnel. Accordingly, a manufacturer might not be able to manufacture sufficient quantities to meet our clinical trial needs or to commercialize our products.
|
|
·
|
Contract manufacturers are required to undergo a satisfactory cGMP inspection prior to regulatory approval and are obliged to operate in accordance with the cGMP regulations of the FDA regulations and those of other jurisdictions we may manufacture in or apply for approval for some of our products. These regulations govern manufacturing processes, stability testing, record keeping and quality standards. Any failure of these contract manufacturers to establish and follow cGMP or other similar applicable regulations and to document their adherence to such practices may lead to significant delays in the availability of material for clinical studies, may delay or prevent filing or approval of marketing applications for our products or result in sanctions being imposed on us.
|
|
·
|
For some or all of our current product candidates and possibly for any future products, we may initially rely on a single or a limited number of contract manufacturers. Changing these or future manufacturers may be difficult and the number of potential manufacturers is limited. Changing manufacturers generally requires re-validation of the manufacturing processes and procedures in accordance with FDA and other applicable national cGMPs and may require prior regulatory approval. It may be difficult or impossible for us to quickly find replacement manufacturers on acceptable terms, if at all. Such re-validation may be costly and time-consuming and we could suffer important delays in advancing our product candidates in clinical trials or in supplying the commercial market with our products.
|
|
·
|
With respect to any of our products that we may market, our ability to reach full commercial scale manufacturing depends upon the ability of our own plant or a designated commercial scale contract manufacturer to be approved under such cGMP. Reaching full commercial scale has a direct impact on our overall costs of goods, which, in turn, directly affects our operating margins. Any delay in obtaining cGMP approval beyond the time we anticipate may have a negative impact on our operating margins and other financial results, as well as our ability to adequately supply the market with our product.
|
|
·
|
Our contract manufacturers may not perform as agreed or may not remain in the contract manufacturing business for the time required to produce, store and distribute our products successfully.
|
|
·
|
Our contract manufacturers may terminate or not renew our agreements based on their own priorities and such actions could be both costly and inconvenient for us.
|
|
·
|
varying regulatory restrictions on sales of our products to certain markets and unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;
|
|
·
|
tariffs, customs, duties, and other trade barriers;
|
|
·
|
difficulties in managing foreign operations and foreign distribution partners;
|
|
·
|
longer payment cycles and problems in collecting accounts receivable;
|
|
·
|
fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
|
|
·
|
political risks;
|
|
·
|
foreign exchange controls that may restrict or prohibit repatriation of funds;

Business Overview
|
|
·
|
For existing controlled-release (once-a-day) products covered by patents about to expire or already expired, we can formulate generic products, which are bioequivalent to the branded products. Such products can be licensed to and sold by distributors of generic products. Our scientists have previously developed several drugs which have been commercialized in the United States by their former employer/client. The regulatory pathway for this approach requires an abbreviated new drug application (“
ANDA
”).
|
|
·
|
For branded immediate-release (multiple-times-per-day) drugs, we can formulate improved replacement products, typically by developing new, patentable, controlled-release once-a-day drugs. These drugs can be licensed to and sold by the pharmaceutical company that made the original immediate-release product. This protects against revenue erosion in the brand by providing a clinically attractive patented product that competes favorably with the generic immediate-release competition that arises on expiry of the original patent(s). The regulatory pathway for this approach requires new drug applications (“
NDA
”) via 505(b)(2) application which both accelerates development timelines and reduces costs in comparison to regular new drug applications for new chemical entities.
|
|
·
|
Our technologies are also focused on the development of abuse-deterrent pain medications. The growing abuse and diversion of prescription “painkillers”, specifically opioid analgesics, is well documented and is a major health and social concern. We believe that our technologies and know-how are uniquely suited to developing abuse-deterrent pain medications.
|
|
·
|
For existing controlled-release (once-a-day) products covered by patents about to expire or already expired, we can seek to formulate generic products which are bioequivalent to the branded products. Our scientists have done so previously for several drug products, on a private contract basis with third-party companies that cannot be disclosed because of confidentiality obligations of our scientists under their prior development agreements. Such products may be licensed to and sold by distributors of generic products.

Such products may be licensed to and sold by the pharmaceutical company that made the original immediate-release product, thereby protecting the pharmaceutical company against revenue loss in the brand by providing a clinically attractive patented product that is expected to compete favourably with the generic immediate-release competition that arises on expiry of the original patent(s).

We believe that our technologies and know-how are uniquely suited to developing abuse-deterrent pain medications.
|
|
·
|
Our delivery technologies offer competitive development times. They have demonstrated themselves suited to the delivery of a wide range of small molecule drugs. They are robust in that the predicted delivery results have been repeatedly substantiated by actual bioavailability/bioequivalence studies. They were developed by our chief scientists, who have substantial experience in applying them successfully to the delivery of small drug molecules under existing development contracts and in support of our pipeline. For these reasons, we believe that our development times are relatively short and competitive.
|
|
·
|
Our delivery technologies offer competitive development costs, because the technologies use only readily available, low-cost ingredients already acceptable to regulatory authorities such as the FDA, and because development times are short, we believe in the opinion of management our development costs are low when compared to our competitors.
|
|
·
|
Large pharmaceutical companies may license our improved products for life-cycle management and franchise extension of their branded products as they come off patent. Our management believes that, with impending loss of branded product revenues, a new generic version of that product such as we develop, which offers the advantage of once-a-day dosing, should be attractive to a large pharmaceutical company facing revenue loss in a patented branded-product franchise.
|
|
·
|
Manufacturers and distributors of generic drugs may license our technologies and products. Because our development times are, in our opinion comparatively short and cost-effective, our generic once-a-day products represent a cost-effective opportunity for generic distributors to add valuable generic products to their portfolios.

In May 2007, we filed an ANDA with the FDA for 5mg, 10mg, 15mg and 20mg strengths of generic Focalin XR® developed in collaboration with partner, Par Pharmaceutical and intended for the U.S. market. In August 2007, the application was accepted by the FDA as being complete and in condition for further review. In December 2010, we filed an ANDA for the 30mg strength of generic Focalin XR®, which is not partnered.

|
|
·
|
The ANDA review process generally takes at least two years and often longer, and there can be no assurance that the FDA will approve the product for commercial launch in the USA.
|
|
·
|
Commercial exploitation of these products either by license and the collection of royalties, or through the manufacture of tablets and capsules using our developed formulations.
|
|
·
|
Development of new products and increasing the number of licensing agreements with other pharmaceutical companies beyond those already in place, including collaborating in contract research and development, joint ventures and other drug development and commercialization projects.

|
For information regarding option expiration dates and exercise price refer to the tables included under Item 6.B. For Non-Management Directors 10,000 options with an exercise price of C$2.88 expire October 22, 2019 and 5,000 options with an exercise price of C$2.88 expire November 30, 2015
|
·
|
The eligible participants are full-time and part-time employees, officers and directors of, or consultants to, the Company or its affiliates, which may be designated from time to time by the directors of the Company.
|
·
|
The fixed maximum percentage of common shares issuable under the Option Plan is 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares from time to time. The Option Plan will automatically “reload” after the exercise of a an option provided that the number of common shares issuable under the Option Plan does not then exceed the maximum percentage of 10%.
|
·
|
There are no restrictions on the maximum number of options which may be granted to insiders of the Company other than not more than 1% of the total common shares outstanding on a non-diluted basis can be issued to non-executive directors of the Company pursuant to options granted under the Plan and the value of any options granted to any non-executive director of the Company, shall not, on an annual basis, exceed $100,000.
|
·
|
The directors of the Company determine the exercise price of each option at the time the option is granted, provided that such price is not lower than the “market price” of common shares at the time the option is
|
|
granted. “Market price” means the volume weighted average trading price of common shares on the TSX, or another stock exchange where the majority of the trading volume and value of common shares occurs, for the five trading days immediately preceding the relevant date, calculated in accordance with the rules of such stock exchange.
|
·
|
Unless otherwise determined by the board of directors of the Company, each option becomes exercisable as to 33⅓% on a cumulative basis, at the end of each of the first, second and third years following the date of grant.
|
·
|
The period of time during which a particular option may be exercised is determined by the board of directors of the Company, subject to any Employment Contract or Consulting Contract (both as hereinafter defined), provided that no such option term shall exceed 10 years.
|
·
|
If option expiration date falls within a “black-out period” (a period during which certain persons cannot trade common shares pursuant to a policy of the Company’s respecting restrictions on trading), or immediately following a black-out period, the expiration date is automatically extended to the date which is the tenth business day after the end of the black-out period.
|
·
|
Options may terminate prior to expiry of the option term in the following circumstances:
|
|
·
|
on death of an optionee, options vested as at the date of death are immediately exercisable until the earlier of 180 days from such date and expiry of the option term; and
|
|
·
|
if an optionee ceases to be a director, officer, employee and consultant of the Company for any reason other than death, including receipt of notice from the Company of the termination of his, her or its Employment Contract or Consulting Contract (as defined below), options vested as at the date termination are exercisable until the earlier of 120 days following such date and expiry of the option term,
|
·
|
Options and rights related thereto held by an optionee are to be assignable or transferable except on the death of the optionee.
|
·
|
If there is a take-over bid (within the meaning of the Securities Act (Ontario)) made for all or any of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company, then all options outstanding become immediately exercisable in order to permit common shares issuable under such options to be tendered to such bid.
|
·
|
If there is a consolidation, merger, amalgamation or statutory arrangement involving the Company, separation of the business into two or more entities or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another entity, the optionees will receive, on exercise of their options, the consideration they would have received had they exercised their options immediately prior to such event. In such event and in the event of a securities exchange take-over bid, the board of directors of the Company may, in certain circumstances, require optionees to surrender their options if replacement options are provided. In the context of a cash take-over bid for 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company, optionees may elect to conditionally surrender their options or, if provided for in an agreement with the offeror, automatically exchange their options for options of the offeror.
|
·
|
The board of directors of the Company may from time to time in its absolute discretion amend, modify and change the provisions of the Option Plan or any options granted pursuant to the Option Plan, provided that any amendment, modification or change to the provisions of the Option Plan or any options granted pursuant to the Option Plan shall:
|
|
·
|
not adversely alter or impair any option previously granted;
|
|
·
|
be subject to any regulatory approvals, where required, including, where applicable, the approval of the TSX and/or such other exchange as may be required; and
|
|
·
|
not be subject to shareholder approval in any circumstances, except where the amendment, modification or change to the Option Plan or option would:
|
|
(i)
|
reduce the exercise price of a option held by an insider of the Company;
|
|
(ii)
|
extend the term of a option held by an insider beyond the original expiration date (subject to such date being extended in a black-out extension situation);
|
|
(iii)
|
increase the fixed maximum percentage of common shares issuable under the Option Plan; or
|
|
(iv)
|
amend the amendment provision of the Option Plan;
|
·
|
Amendments to the Option Plan not requiring shareholder approval may for example include, without limitation:
|
|
·

The stated purpose of the RSU Plan is to advance the interests of the Company through the motivation, attraction and retention of employees and officers of the Company and the designated affiliates of the Company and to secure for the Company and the shareholders of the Company the benefits inherent in the ownership of common shares by employees and officers of the Company, it being generally recognized that share incentive plans aid in attracting, retaining and encouraging employees and officers due to the opportunity offered to them to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company.
|
·
|
Employees and officers, including both full-time and part-time employees, of the Company and any designated affiliate of the Company, but not any directors of the Company, are eligible to participate under the RSU Plan. By the terms of the RSU Plan, Dr. Isa Odidi and Dr. Amina Odidi are specifically not eligible to participate.
|
·
|
The RSU Plan is administered by the Board or a committee thereof, which will determine, from time to time, who may participate in the RSU Plan, the number of RSUs to be awarded and the terms of each RSU, all such determinations to be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan.
|
·
|
The number of common shares available for issuance upon the vesting of RSUs awarded under the RSU Plan is limited to 330,000 common shares of the Company.
|
·
|
A separate notional account will be maintained for each participant under the RSU Plan. Each such account will be credited with RSUs awarded to the participant from time to time by way of a bookkeeping entry in the books of the Company. On the vesting of the RSUs and the corresponding issuance of common shares to the participant, or on the forfeiture and cancellation of the RSUs, the RSUs credited to the participant’s account will be cancelled.
|
·
|
At the time of the award of RSUs, the Board will determine in its sole discretion the vesting criteria (whether based on time or performance measures) applicable to the awarded RSUs. Unless otherwise determined by the Board at the time of the award, RSUs will vest in respect of 33 1/3 % of the common shares subject to the RSUs on the first day after each of the first three anniversaries of the award date of
|
|
such RSU. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all vesting and issuances or payments, as applicable, will be completed no later than December 15 of the third calendar year commencing after an award date.
|
·
|
The RSU Plan provides that any unvested RSUs will vest at such time as determined by the Board in its sole discretion such that participants in the RSU Plan will be able to participate in a change of control transaction, including by surrendering such RSUs to the Company or a third party or exchanging such RSUs, for consideration in the form of cash and/or securities.
|
·
|
Under the RSU Plan, should the vesting of an RSU fall within a blackout period or within nine business days following the expiration of a blackout period, the vesting will be automatically extended to the tenth business day after the end of the blackout period.
|
·
|
If an “event of termination” has occurred, any and all common shares corresponding to any vested RSUs in a participant’s account, if any, will be issued as soon as practicable after the event of termination to the former participant. If an event of termination has occurred, any unvested RSUs in the participant’s account will, unless otherwise determined by the Board in its discretion, forthwith and automatically be forfeited by the participant and cancelled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a participant is terminated for just cause, each unvested RSU in the participant’s account will be forfeited by the participant and cancelled. An “event of termination” is defined under the RSU Plan as an event whereby a participant ceases to be eligible under the RSU Plan and is deemed to have occurred by the giving of any notice of termination of employment (whether voluntary or involuntary and whether with or without cause), retirement, or any cessation of employment for any reason whatsoever, including disability or death.
|
·
|
No rights under the RSU Plan and no RSUs awarded pursuant to the provisions of the RSU Plan are assignable or transferable by any participant other than pursuant to a will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
|
·
|
Under the RSU Plan, the Board may from time to time in its absolute discretion amend, modify and change the provisions of the RSU Plan or any RSUs awarded pursuant to the Plan, provided that any amendment will:
|
|
·
|
not adversely alter or impair any RSU previously awarded except as permitted by the adjustment provisions in the RSU Plan;
|
|
·
|
be subject to any regulatory approvals including, where required, the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange;
|
|
·
|
be subject to shareholder approval in accordance with the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange in circumstances where the amendment, modification or change to the RSU Plan or RSUs would:
|
|
(i)
|
allow for the assignment or transfer of any right under the RSU Plan or a RSU awarded pursuant to the provisions of the Plan other than as provided for under the assignability provisions in the RSU Plan;
|
|
(ii)
|
increase the fixed maximum number of common shares which may be issued pursuant to the RSU Plan; or
|
|
(iii)
|
amend the amendment provisions of the RSU Plan; and
|
|
·
|
not be subject to shareholder approval in circumstances (other than those listed in the paragraph immediately above), including, but not limited to, circumstances where the amendment, modification or change to the RSU Plan or RSU would:
|
|
(v)
|
be of a “housekeeping nature”, including any amendment to the RSU Plan or a RSU that is necessary to comply with applicable law or the requirements of any regulatory authority or stock exchange and any amendment to the RSU Plan or a RSU to correct or rectify any ambiguity, defective provision, error or omission therein, including any amendment to any definitions therein;
|

|
|
(v)

|

|
|
(vii)
|
introduce features to the RSU Plan that would permit the Company to, instead of issuing common shares from treasury upon the vesting of the RSUs, make lump sum cash payments to participants;

|
The DSU Plan is administered by the Board or a committee thereof. Members of the Board who are not salaried officers or employees of the Company or a related corporation are eligible to participate under the DSU Plan. By the terms of the DSU Plan, Dr. Isa Odidi and Dr. Amina Odidi are specifically not eligible to participate.
|
·
|
The number of common shares available for issuance upon redemption of DSUs issued under the DSU Plan is limited to 110,000 common shares of the Company, representing approximately 1% of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares as of the date hereof.
|
·
|
Each participant may elect to be paid a minimum of 20% up to a maximum of 100%, in 10% increments, of Board fees in the form of DSUs in lieu of being paid such fees in cash. On the date on which Board fees are payable (on a quarterly basis), the number of DSUs to be credited to the participant is determined by dividing an amount equal to the designated percentage of the Board fees that the participant has elected to have credited in DSUs on that fee payment date, by the calculated market value of a common share (typically on the Toronto Stock Exchange) on that fee payment date. The market value of a common share is the weighted average trading price of the common shares on any exchange where the common shares are listed (including the Toronto Stock Exchange) for the last five trading days prior to such day. If dividends are declared by the Company, a participant will also be credited with dividend equivalents in the form of additional DSUs based on the number of DSUs the participant holds on the record date for the payment of a dividend. Dividend equivalents are calculated by dividing (i) the amount obtained by multiplying the amount of the dividend declared and paid per common share by the number of DSUs in the participant’s account on the record date for the payment of such dividend, by (ii) the market value of a common share on that dividend payment date. The market value of a common share is the weighted average trading price of the common shares on any exchange where the common shares are listed (including the Toronto Stock Exchange) for the last five trading days prior to such day.
|
·
|
A participant is permitted to redeem his/her DSUs only following termination of Board service by way of retirement, non-re-election as a director, resignation or death. Upon redemption of DSUs, the Company will issue to the participant common shares of the Company equal to the number of DSUs to be redeemed.
|
·
|
A separate notional account is maintained for each participant under the DSU Plan. Each such account will be credited with DSUs issued to the participant from time to time by way of a bookkeeping entry in the books of the Company. The DSUs credited to the participant’s account will be cancelled as of the applicable redemption date and following redemption of all DSUs credited to the participant’s account, such participant’s account will be closed.
|
·
|
No rights under the DSU Plan and no DSUs credited pursuant to the provisions of the DSU Plan are assignable or transferable by any participant other than pursuant to a will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
|
·
|
Under the DSU Plan, the Board may from time to time in its absolute discretion amend, modify and change the provisions of the DSU Plan or any DSUs issued pursuant to the DSU Plan, provided that any amendment will:
|
|
·
|
not adversely alter or impair any DSU previously credited without such participant’s consent in writing except as permitted by the adjustment provisions in the DSU Plan; be subject to any regulatory approvals including, where required, the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange; be subject to shareholder approval in accordance with the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange in circumstances where the amendment, modification or change to the DSU Plan or DSU would:
|
|
(i)
|
allow for the assignment or transfer of any right under the DSU Plan or a DSU credited pursuant to the provisions of the Plan other than as provided for under the assignability provisions in the DSU Plan;

On April 29, 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-17, which establishes a revenue recognition model for contingent consideration that is payable upon the achievement of an uncertain future event, referred to as a milestone. The scope of the ASU is limited to research or development arrangements and requires an entity to record the milestone payment in its entirety in the period received if the milestone meets all the necessary criteria to be considered substantive. However, entities would not be precluded from making an accounting policy election to apply another appropriate accounting policy that results in the deferral of some portion of the arrangement consideration. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early application is permitted. Entities can apply this guidance prospectively to milestones achieved after adoption. However, retrospective application to all prior periods is also permitted. The Company has adopted this standard on December 1, 2010. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s 2010 financial statements.
