Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Shareholders of ImmunoPrecise Antibodies Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of ImmunoPrecise Antibodies Ltd. (“the Group”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at April 30, 2019 and April 30, 2018 and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at April 30, 2019 and April 30, 2018, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements which describes the material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises:

 

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

We obtained the other information prior to the date of this auditor’s report. If, based on the work we have performed on this other information, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact in this auditor’s report. We have nothing to report in this regard.


Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

 

 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

 

 

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

 

 

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

 

 

Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

 

 

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

 

 

Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

 

- 2 -


We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Keith L. Gagnon.

The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) as a Tier 2 life science issuer under the trading symbol “IPA”. The Company’s OTC symbol is “IPATF”. The Company is a supplier of custom hybridoma development services. The address of the Company’s corporate office is 3204 – 4464 Markham Street, Victoria, BC, Canada V8Z 7X8.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. This assumes the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its obligations in the normal course of operations. The Company has incurred operating losses since inception, including $7,617,467 for the year ended April 30, 2019 and has accumulated a deficit of $17,476,482 as at April 30, 2019. The Company may need to raise additional funds in order to continue on as a going concern and there can be no assurances that sufficient funding, including adequate financing, will be available. The ability of the Company to arrange additional financing in the future depends in part, on the prevailing capital market conditions and profitability of its operations. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities, contingent obligations and commitments other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different from those in the consolidated financial statements.

Control is achieved when the Company has the power to, directly or indirectly, govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. Intercompany balances, transactions and unrealized intercompany gains and losses are eliminated upon consolidation.

(d) Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of a company is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates. The presentation currency for a company is the currency in which the company chooses to present its financial statements.

The functional currency of the Company and ImmunoPrecise Antibodies (Canada) Ltd. is the Canadian dollar. The functional currency of ImmunoPrecise Antibodies (USA) Ltd., ImmunoPrecise Antibodies (N.D.) Ltd., ImmunoPrecise Antibodies (MA) LLC and Talem Therapeutics LLC is the US dollar. The functional currency of U-Protein, ImmunoPrecise Netherlands BV, IPA Europe and Immulease is the Euro. The presentation currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar.

Entities whose functional currencies differ from the presentation currency are translated into Canadian dollars as follows: assets and liabilities – at the closing rate as at the reporting date, and income and expenses – at the average rate of the period. All resulting changes are recognized in other comprehensive income as cumulative translation differences.

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at exchange rates at the date of the transactions. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the functional currency exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. All gains and losses on translation of these foreign currency transactions are included in profit or loss.

When the Company disposes of its entire interest in a foreign operation, or loses control, joint control, or significant influence over a foreign operation, the foreign currency gains or losses accumulated in other comprehensive income related to the foreign operation are recognized in profit or loss. If an entity disposes of part of an interest in a foreign operation which remains a subsidiary, a proportionate amount of foreign currency gains or losses accumulated in other comprehensive income related to the subsidiary are reallocated between controlling and non-controlling interests.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business combination

Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Company, liabilities incurred by the Company to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Company in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are generally recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognized at their fair value at the acquisition date. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognized immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.

When the consideration transferred by the Company in a business combination includes assets or liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the ‘measurement period’ (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.

The subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments depends on how the contingent consideration is classified. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability is remeasured at subsequent reporting dates in accordance with IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, as appropriate, with the corresponding gain or loss being recognized in profit or loss.

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from sale of antibodies and service agreements.

Sale of antibodies:

Revenue from sale of antibodies is recognized when the terms of a contract with a customer have been satisfied. This occurs when:

 

   

The control over the product has been transferred to the customer; and

 

   

The product is received by the customer or transfer of title to the customer occurs upon shipment.

Following delivery, the customer bears the risks of obsolescence and loss in relation to the goods. Revenue is recognized based on the price specified in the contract, net of estimated sales discounts and returns.

Contract revenue:

Revenues from contracted services are generally recognized as the performance obligations are satisfied over time, and the related expenditures are incurred pursuant to the terms of the agreement. Contract revenue is recognized on a percentage of completion basis when the key milestones contained within the contract are

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

 

 

satisfied and there is an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. For contracts with no enforceable right to payment when the contract is incomplete, contract revenue is recognized on a completed contract basis when the customers are satisfied with the service at the end of the contract.

Unbilled revenue and deferred revenue:

Amounts recognized as revenue in excess of billings are classified as unbilled revenue. Amounts received in advance of the performance of services are classified as deferred revenue.

Cost of sales:

Cost of sales includes materials, direct labour, and allocation of overhead including depreciation of lab equipment.

Financial instruments

Recognition and Classification

The Company recognizes a financial asset or financial liability on the statement of financial position when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.

The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: at fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), at fair value through other comprehensive income (loss) (“FVTOCI”) or at amortized cost. The Company determines the classification of financial assets at initial recognition. The classification of debt instruments is driven by the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics.

Equity instruments that are held for trading are classified as FVTPL. For other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate them as at FVTOCI. Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVTPL (such as instruments held for trading or derivatives) or if the Company has opted to measure them at FVTPL.

Measurement

Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL:

Financial assets and liabilities carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities held at FVTPL are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Where management has opted to recognize a financial liability at FVTPL, any changes associated with the Company’s own credit risk will be recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).

Financial assets at FVTOCI:

Elected investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently they are measured at fair value, with gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).

Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost:

Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value plus or minus transaction costs, respectively, and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment.

Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost:

The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. At each reporting date, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased

significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the twelve month expected credit losses. The Company shall recognize in profit or loss, as an impairment gain or loss, the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized.

Derecognition

Financial assets:

The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all of the associated risks and rewards of ownership to another entity. Gains and losses on derecognition are generally recognized in profit or loss. However, gains and losses on derecognition of financial assets classified as FVTOCI remain within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Financial liabilities:

The Company derecognizes financial liabilities only when its obligations under the financial liabilities are discharged, cancelled or expired. Generally, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable, including any non-cash assets, is recognized in profit or loss.

Government assistance

The Company periodically applies for financial assistance under available government incentive programs. Government assistance relating to capital expenditures is reflected as a reduction of the cost of such assets. Government assistance relating to research and development expenditures is recorded as a reduction of current year’s expenses when the related expenditures are incurred.

Inventory

Inventory consists of supplies, parts and antibodies and is valued at the lower of average cost and net realizable value. Costs include acquisition, freight and other directly attributable costs.

Equipment and leasehold improvements

Equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the following terms:

 

Asset

  

Basis

  

Term

Lab equipment    Straight line    5 years
Furniture and equipment    Straight line    5 years
Computer hardware    Straight line    2 years
Computer software    Straight line    1 year
Leasehold improvements    Straight line    Remaining term of the lease plus the first renewal option

During the year ended April 30, 2018, the Company changed its depreciation method and rates to better estimate the assets’ useful lives. This change has been applied prospectively.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalized development costs, are not capitalized and the related expenditure is reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite.

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in profit or loss in the expense category that is consistent with the function of the intangible assets.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not subject to amortization and an impairment test is performed annually or as events occur that could indicate impairment. Goodwill is reported at cost less any impairment.

For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (“cash generating units” or “CGU”s). To test for impairment, goodwill is allocated to each of the Company’s CGUs, groups of CGUs, or an operating segment expected to benefit from the acquisition. Goodwill is tested by combining the carrying amounts of equipment and leasehold improvements, intangible assets and goodwill and comparing this to the recoverable amount. Fair value less costs of disposal, is price to be received in an orderly transaction between market participants. Value in use is assessed using the present value of the expected future cash flows. Any excess of the carrying amount over the recoverable amount is recorded as impairment. Impairment charges, which are not tax affected, are recognized in in profit or loss and are not reversed.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparison of their carrying amount to the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less selling costs or the value in use. Value in use is determined by the present value of the future cash flows from the asset. If the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount, then there is impairment. Where an impairment loss exists, the portion of the carrying amount exceeding the recoverable amount is recorded as an expense immediately. Assets that have been impaired in prior periods are tested for possible reversal of impairment whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the impairment has reversed. If the impairment has reversed, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount but not beyond the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior periods. The reversal is recognized in profit or loss immediately.

Income taxes

Income taxes are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income, except where they relate to items recognized directly in equity, in which case the related taxes are recognized in equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the difference between the tax and accounting values of assets and liabilities and are calculated using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates for the periods in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of tax rate changes is recognized in profit or loss or equity, as applicable, in the period of substantive enactment.

Current taxes receivable or payable are estimated on taxable income for the current year at the statutory tax rates enacted or substantively enacted.

Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits of the relevant entity or group of entities, in a particular jurisdiction, will be available against which the assets can be utilized. As an exception, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary differences arise from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction (other than in a business combination) that affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit.

Investment tax credits (“ITCs”) are accounted for as a reduction in the cost of the expense when there is reasonable assurance that such credits will be realized. These ITCs are used to reduce current income taxes payable.

Leases

Leases meeting certain criteria are accounted for as finance leases. The imputed interest is charged against operations. If the lease contains a term that allows ownership to pass to the Company, or there is a bargain purchase option, the capitalized value is amortized over the lesser of the lease term and its estimated useful life. All other leases are accounted for as operating leases and the leased assets are not recognized on the Company’s statement of financial position.

Share capital

Equity instruments are contracts that give a residual interest in the net assets of the Company. The Company’s common shares are classified as equity instruments.

Proceeds from unit placements are allocated between common shares and warrants issued based on the residual value method, with the common shares being valued first.

Share issuance costs

Costs directly identifiable with the raising of share capital financing are charged against share capital. Share issuance costs incurred in advance of share subscriptions are recorded as deferred assets. Share issuance costs related to uncompleted share subscriptions are charged to operations.

Share-based payments

Where equity-settled share options are awarded to employees, the fair value of the options at the date of grant is charged to profit or loss over the vesting period. Performance vesting conditions are taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments expected to vest at each reporting date so that, ultimately, the cumulative amount recognized over the vesting period is based on the number of options that eventually vest. Non-vesting conditions and market vesting conditions are factored into the fair value of the options granted. As long as all other vesting conditions are satisfied, a charge is made irrespective of whether these vesting conditions are satisfied. The cumulative expense is not adjusted for failure to achieve a market vesting condition or where a non-vesting condition is not satisfied.

Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to profit or loss over the remaining vesting period.

Where equity instruments are granted to non-employees, they are recorded at the fair value of the goods or services received in profit or loss, unless they are related to the issuance of shares. Amounts related to the issuance of shares are recorded as a reduction of share capital.

When the value of goods or services received in exchange for the share-based payment cannot be reliably estimated, the fair value is measured by use of a valuation model. The expected life used in the model is adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations.

All equity-settled share-based payments are reflected in contributed surplus, until exercised. Upon exercise, shares are issued from treasury and the amount reflected in contributed surplus is credited to share capital, adjusted for any consideration paid.

Where a grant of options is cancelled or settled during the vesting period, excluding forfeitures when vesting conditions are not satisfied, the Company immediately accounts for the cancellation as an acceleration of vesting and recognizes the amount that otherwise would have been recognized for services received over the remainder of the vesting period. Any payment made to the employee on the cancellation is accounted for as the repurchase of an equity interest except to the extent the payment exceeds the fair value of the equity instrument granted, measured at the repurchase date. Any such excess is recognized as an expense.

Earnings (loss) per share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. In periods where a net loss is incurred, potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the loss per share calculation as the effect would be anti-dilutive and basic and diluted loss per common share is the same. In a profit year, under the treasury stock method, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used for the calculation of diluted earnings per share assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average price during the year.

ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE

(a) Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Financial instruments

On May 1, 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”), which replaces IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (“IAS 39”) and all previous versions of IFRS 9. The new standard provides guidance on the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, de-recognition of financial instruments, impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting.

The adoption of IFRS 9 on May 1, 2018 resulted in changes in accounting policies; however there were no adjustments to the amounts recognized in these consolidated financial statements.

Classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities

IFRS9 requires financial assets to be classified into three measurement categories on initial recognition: fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”), fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”), and amortized cost. Investments in equity instruments are required to be measured by default at FVTPL. IFRS 9 permits entities to elect into an irrevocable option for equity instruments to report changes in fair value in other comprehensive income. Classification and measurement of financial assets is dependent on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and related contractual cash flows. IFRS 9 retains most of the requirements of IAS 39 related to classification and measurement of financial liabilities.

Impairment

IFRS 9 introduces a three stage expected credit loss (“ECL”) model for determining impairment of financial assets. The expected credit loss model does not require the occurrence of a triggering event before an entity recognizes credit losses. IFRS 9 requires an entity to recognize expected credit losses upon initial recognition of a financial asset and to update the quantum of expected credit losses at the end of each reporting period to reflect changes to credit risk of the financial asset. The adoption of the ECL model did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s financial assets at adoption date mainly comprised of cash, amounts receivable and investment. Cash and amounts receivable are classified and accounted for under IFRS 9 at amortized cost, and investment is classified and accounted for at FVTPL. Financial liabilities are mainly comprised of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, debentures, loans payable and deferred acquisition payments, which are accounted for at amortized cost. The Company completed a detailed assessment of its financial assets and liabilities as at May 1, 2018. The following table shows the original classification under IAS 39 and the new classification under IFRS 9:

Loans payable

Deferred acquisition payments

   Other financial liabilities (amortized cost)    Amortized cost

Revenue recognition

IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“IFRS 15’) establishes a comprehensive framework for revenue recognition. The standard replaces IAS 18, Revenue and IAS 11, Construction Contracts and related interpretations and represents a new single model for recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. The model features a five-step analysis of transactions to determine the nature of an entity’s obligation to perform and whether, how much, and when revenue is recognized.

The Company adopted IFRS 15 as of May 1, 2018 and the new standard has been applied retrospectively using the modified retrospective approach, where prior periods are not restated and the cumulative effect of initially applying this standard is recognised in the opening deficit balance on May 1, 2018. The Company applied IFRS 15 using the practical expedient under which the Company elected to apply IFRS 15 retrospectively only to contracts that were not completed at the date of initial application. The impact was determined to be an increase of $122,025 to the opening deficit balance on May 1, 2018 and an increase of $207,667 to revenue and an increase of $85,642 to cost of sales in the current year.

The Company recognizes revenue from sale of antibodies and service agreements.

Sale of antibodies

Revenue from sale of antibodies is recognized when the terms of a contract with a customer have been satisfied. This occurs when:

 

   

The control over the product has been transferred to the customer; and

   

The product is received by the customer or transfer of title to the customer occurs upon shipment.

IMMUNOPRECISE ANTIBODIES LTD.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

 

 

Following delivery, the customer bears the risks of obsolescence and loss in relation to the goods. Revenue is recognized based on the price specified in the contract, net of estimated sales discounts and returns.

Contract revenue

Revenues from contracted services are generally recognized as the performance obligations are satisfied over time, and the related expenditures are incurred pursuant to the terms of the agreement. Under IFRS 15, the Company has determined that revenue should be recognized on a percentage of completion basis when the key milestones contained within the contract are satisfied and there is an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. For contracts with no enforceable right to payment when the contract is incomplete, contract revenue is recognized on a completed contract basis when the customers are satisfied with the service at the end of the contract. The Company has determined that the percentage of completion as the time expended as a proportion of total time expected at the end of the reporting period is an appropriate measure of progress towards the completion of these performance obligations under IFRS 15. Previously, revenue was recognized as the performance obligations were satisfied regardless of whether there was an enforceable right to payment if a contract was terminated.

Unbilled revenue and deferred revenue

Amounts recognized as revenue in excess of billings are classified as unbilled revenue. Amounts received in advance of the performance of services are classified as deferred revenue.

(b) Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective

The following revised standards are effective for the annual periods noted with earlier application permitted. The Company also has not early adopted any amendment, standard or interpretation that has been issued but is not yet effective.

Leases

In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, Leases, which supersedes IAS 17, Leases. IFRS 16 establishes principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. The standard establishes a single model for lessees to bring leases on-balance sheet while lessor accounting remains largely unchanged and retains the finance and operating lease distinctions. The standard is applicable to the Company effective May 1, 2019.

Upon adoption of IFRS 16, the Company will record a right-of-use asset, with an associated lease liability, on the consolidated statement of financial position as at May 1, 2019. The right-of-use asset and liability will be unwound over the term of the lease giving rise to an interest expense and depreciation charge, respectively. Currently the Company’s operating leases relate to the rental of office and lab spaces (Note 18 –Commitments). The right-of-use asset capitalized is expected to be $1,396,513 and the liability recorded is expected to be $1,442,954.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS required estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates and judgments. Estimates are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the year in which the estimate is revised. Significant areas requiring the use of estimates and judgments are as follows:

Functional currency

The Company has used judgment in determining the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates.

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

 

 

Amounts receivable

The Company monitors the financial stability of its customers and the environment in which they operate to make estimates regarding the likelihood that the individual trade receivable balances will be paid. Credit risks for outstanding customer receivables are regularly assessed and allowances are recorded for estimated losses, if required.

Equipment

The Company has used estimates in the determination of the expected useful lives of equipment and leasehold improvements.

Revenue recognition

The percentage-of-completion method requires the use of estimates to determine the stage of completion which is used to determine the recorded amount of revenue, unbilled revenue and deferred revenue on uncompleted contracts. The determination of anticipated revenues includes the contractually agreed revenue and may also involve estimates of future revenues if such additional revenues can be reliably estimated and it is considered probable that they will be recovered. The determination of anticipated costs for completing a contract is based on estimates that can be affected by a variety of factors, including the cost of materials, labour, and sub-contractors. The determination of estimates is based on the Company’s business practices as well as its historical experience.

Impairments

For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (“cash generating units” or “CGU”s). Each asset or CGU is evaluated every reporting period to determine whether there are any indicators of impairment. If any such indicators exist, which is often judgment-based, a formal estimate of recoverable amount is performed and an impairment charge is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU of assets is measured at the higher of fair value less costs of disposal or value in use. These determinations and their individual assumptions require that management make a decision based on the best available information at each reporting period. The estimates and assumptions are subject to risk and uncertainty; hence, there is the possibility that changes in circumstances will alter these projections, which may impact the recoverable amount of the assets. In such circumstances, some or all of the carrying value of the assets may be further impaired or the impairment charge reversed with the impact recorded in profit or loss.

The Company performs a goodwill impairment test annually and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill acquired through business combinations has been allocated to two different CGUs. The recoverable amount of each CGU was based on value in use, determined by discounting the future cash flows to be generated from the continuing use of the CGU. The cash flows were projected over a five-year period based on past experience and actual operating results.

The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test in April 2019 and no impairment was indicated for the period tested. The values assigned to the key assumptions represented management’s assessment of future trends in the industry and were based on historical data from both internal and external sources. Weighted average costs of capital of 17.5% and 10.2%, respectively, was used in the assessments of the two CGUs.

Determination of segments

An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses. All operating segments’ results are reviewed by the Company’s management in order to make decisions regarding the allocation of resources to the segment. Segment results include items directly attributable to a segment as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.

As the Company provides antibody production and related services in one distinct category, there is only one category to report revenues by production site.

Life of intangible assets

Intangible assets are amortized based on estimated useful life less their estimated residual value. Significant assumptions are involved in the determination of useful life and residual values and no assurance can be given that actual useful lives and residual values will not differ significantly from current assumptions. Actual useful life and residual values may vary depending on a number of factors including internal technical evaluation, attributes of the assets and experience with similar assets. Changes to these estimates may affect the carrying value of assets, net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) in future periods.

Purchase price allocation

The acquisition of U-Protein on August 22, 2017 and the acquisition of IPA Europe and Immulease on April 5, 2018 were accounted for as business combinations at fair value in accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations. The acquired assets and assumed liabilities were adjusted to their fair values assigned through completion of a purchase price allocation, as described below.

The purchase price allocation process resulting from a business combination requires management to estimate the fair value of identifiable assets acquired including intangible assets and liabilities assumed including the deferred acquisition payment obligations. The Company uses valuation techniques, which are generally based on forecasted future net cash flows discounted to present value, and also relies on work performed by third-party valuation specialists. These valuations are closely linked to the assumptions used by management on the future performance of the related assets and the discount rates applied.

INVESTMENT

Investment consists of a 29% (2018 – 37%) interest in QVQ Holding B.V. (“QVQ”), which is recorded at cost, being the best approximation of the investment’s fair value.

Judgment is required as to the extent of influence that the Company has over QVQ. The Company considered the extent of voting power over the entity, the power to participate in financial and operating policy decisions of the entity, representation on the board of directors, material transactions between the entities, interchange of management personnel, and provision of essential technical information. The Company has determined that the Company is not considered to have significant influence over QVQ, as the Company does not have the power to participate in financial and operating policy decisions, does not have representation on the Board of Directors of QVQ, and the majority of the common shares are held by QVQ management.

DEBENTURES

On April 5, 2018, the Company completed a nonconvertible debenture (the “Debentures”) financing in the principal amount of $4,252,000 (the “Offering”). The Debentures are unsecured, bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum, payable semi-annually, and are due eighteen months from the date of issue. Under the Offering, a holder of a Debenture received 37,500 detachable share purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) for every $25,000 of Debentures subscribed for by the holder. The Warrants are exercisable at $0.70 per share for a period of four years from the date of issue. The fair value of the Debentures at the time of issue was calculated as the discounted cash flows assuming a 15% effective interest rate. The fair value of the Warrants was determined at the time of issue as the difference between the face value and the fair value of the Debentures. On initial recognition, the Company bifurcated $4,003,125 to the carrying value of the Debentures and $248,875 to the Warrants.

Under the Offering, the Company paid the following finder’s fees: $10,300 in cash, 580,320 shares of the Company with a fair value of $383,010, and 415,942 finder’s warrants valued at $187,627. The fair value of the finder’s warrants was estimated on the date of issue using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield of $nil, risk free interest rate of 1.60%, expected life of 4 years and expected volatility based on the historical volatility of similar companies of 100%. The total fair value of the finder’s fees was allocated pro-rata based on the carrying values of the Debentures and Warrants, with $546,934 allocated to the Debentures and $34,003 allocated to the Warrants.

On October 25, 2018, the Company settled $1,377,000 of the Debentures by issuing 1,377,000 units at a price of $1.00 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share of the Company and one share purchase warrant, with each warrant entitling the holder to purchase an additional share at $1.25 for two years. The fair value of the 1,377,000 common shares issued was determined to be $1,115,370. The fair value of the warrants issued was determined to be $283,000 and estimated on the date of issue using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield of $nil, risk free interest rate of 1.58%, expected life of 2 years and expected volatility based on the historical volatility of similar companies of 68.7%. The settlement resulted in a loss of $189,715.

During the year ended April 30, 2019, the Company recorded accretion expense of $427,592 (2018 – $33,206). The changes in the value of the Debentures during the years ended April 30, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

The Company makes adjustments to its capital structure upon approval from its Board of Directors, in light of economic conditions and the Company’s working capital requirements. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the year. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

 

17.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, amounts receivable, restricted cash, investment, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, debentures, loans payable, and deferred acquisition payments.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, by reference to the reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values.

Level 1 - applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Level 3 - applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The fair value of investment is determined based on “Level 2” inputs as its cost was the best approximation of its fair value. As at April 30, 2019, the Company believes that the carrying values of cash, amounts receivable, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, debentures, loans payable, and deferred acquisition payments approximate their fair values because of their nature and relatively short maturity dates or durations.

Concentration of risk:

Industry

The Company operates in the contract research organization sector and is affected by general economic trends. A decline in economic conditions, research spending or other adverse conditions could lead to reduced revenue.

Concentrations of credit risk

Credit risk relates to cash, restricted cash and amounts receivable and arises from the possibility that counterparty to an instrument may fail to perform. At April 30, 2019, all of the Company’s cash was held with tier one banks. The Company has evaluated amounts receivable and determined that there were no allowances for doubtful accounts at April 30, 2019 and 2018. During the year ended April 30, 2019 the Company incurred bad debt expense of $1,837 (2018 - $16,454).

Currency risk

The Company operates in the US and Europe which gives rise to exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency values. Most significantly, the Company is exposed to potential currency fluctuations between US and Canadian dollars, which was translated at 1.3423 at April 30, 2019, and the Euro and Canadian dollar, which was translated at 1.5055 at April 30, 2019. Fluctuations in the exchange rate could impact profitability.

In addition, the Company manages its cash to meet its debt obligations and to fund general and administrative costs.
