FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022 AND 2021
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
| 1. | CORPORATE INFORMATION AND CONTINUING OPERATIONS |
Business
InMed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“InMed” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the Province of British Columbia on May 19, 1981 under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia. InMed is a clinical stage pharmaceutical company developing a pipeline of prescription-based products, including rare cannabinoids and novel cannabinoid analogs, targeting the treatment of diseases with high unmet medical needs as well as developing proprietary manufacturing technologies to produce rare cannabinoids for sale in the health and wellness industry.
The Company’s shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the trading symbol “INM”. InMed’s office and principal place of business is located at #310 – 815 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, B.C., Canada, V6C 1B4.
Liquidity
Through December 31, 2022, the Company
has funded its operations primarily with proceeds from the sale of common stock. The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative
cash flows from operations since its inception, including net losses of approximately $
As of the issuance date of these condensed
consolidated interim financial statements, the Company expects its cash and cash equivalents of $
The Company expects to continue to seek additional funding through equity financings, debt financings or other capital sources, including collaborations with other companies, government contracts or other strategic transactions. The Company may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all. The terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of the Company’s existing shareholders.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its commitments, realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not reflect adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities that would be necessary if the Company was unable to continue as a going concern and such adjustments could be material.
COVID-19 Impacts
The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may directly or indirectly impact the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition, including expenses, research and development costs and employee-related amounts, will depend on future developments that are evolving and highly uncertain, such as the duration and severity of outbreaks, including potential future waves or cycles, and the effectiveness of actions taken to contain and treat COVID-19. The Company considered the potential impact of COVID-19 when making certain estimates and judgments relating to the preparation of these consolidated financial statements. While there was no material impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, the Company’s future assessment of the magnitude and duration of COVID-19, as well as other factors, could result in a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.

| 2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of Presentation
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as applied in the United States (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for financial information. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and the accompanying notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 2022.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results that can be expected for a full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements follow the same significant accounting policies as those described in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended June 30, 2022.
The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the U.S. Dollar. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars. References to “$” and “US$” are to United States (“U.S.”) dollars and references to “C$” are to Canadian dollars.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date, and the corresponding revenues and expenses for the periods reported. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to these consolidated financial statements are the estimate of useful life of intangible assets, the application of the going concern assumption, and determining the fair value of share-based payments and warrants.

| 15. | FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT |
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
The fair values of short-term investments, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Cash and cash equivalents are measured at fair value using Level 1 inputs.
| a) | Market Risk: |
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices are comprised of four types of risk: foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, commodity price risk and equity price risk. The Company does not currently have significant commodity price risk or equity price risk.
Foreign Currency Risk:
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the future cash flows or fair value of the Company’s financial instruments that are denominated in a currency that is not the Company’s functional currency (U.S. dollar) will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Portions of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable and accrued liabilities are denominated in Canadian dollars.
Accordingly, the Company is exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates, primarily against the Canadian dollar.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company
has a net excess of Canadian dollar denominated cash and cash equivalents in excess of Canadian dollar denominated accounts payable and
accrued liabilities of C$

| a) | Market Risk (cont’d): |
Interest Rate Risk:
Interest rate risk is the risk that
future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. As of December 31, 2022, holdings of cash and cash equivalents

As at December 31, 2022, the Company
held variable rate guaranteed investment certificates, with one-year terms, of $
The Company’s current policy is to invest excess cash in guaranteed investment certificates or interest-bearing accounts of major Canadian chartered banks or credit unions with comparable credit ratings. The Company regularly monitors compliance to its cash management policy.
| b) | Credit Risk: |
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or a counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Financial instruments which are potentially subject to credit risk for the Company consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and loan receivable. Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and may be redeemed upon demand. In the normal course of business, the Company does not provide third party loans.
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. Credit risk exposure is limited through maintaining cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments with high-credit quality financial institutions and management considers this risk to be minimal for all cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments assets based on changes that are reasonably possible at each reporting date.
| c) | Liquidity Risk: |
Liquidity risk is the risk that the
Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company’s policy is to ensure that it has sufficient
cash to meet its liabilities when they become due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or
risking damage to the Company’s reputation. A key risk in managing liquidity is the degree of uncertainty in the cash flow projections.
If future cash flows are fairly uncertain, the liquidity risk increases. As at December 31, 2022, the Company has cash and cash equivalents
and short-term investments of $

All dollar amounts stated herein are in U.S. dollars unless specified otherwise.
Overview
We are a clinical stage pharmaceutical company developing a pipeline of prescription-based products, including rare cannabinoids and novel cannabinoid analogs, targeting the treatment of diseases with high unmet medical needs (“Product Candidates”). Together with our subsidiary BayMedica, LLC, we also have significant know-how in developing proprietary manufacturing approaches to produce cannabinoids for various market sectors (“Products”). Our know-how includes traditional approaches such as chemical synthesis and biosynthesis, as well as a proprietary, integrated manufacturing approach called IntegraSynTM. We are dedicated to delivering new therapeutic alternatives to patients and consumers who may benefit from cannabinoid-based products. Our approach leverages on the several thousand years’ history of health benefits attributed to the Cannabis plant and brings this anecdotal information into the 21st century by applying tried, tested and true scientific approaches to establish non-plant-derived (synthetically manufactured), individual cannabinoid compounds as Product Candidates in important market segments including clinically proven, FDA-approved medicines and Products that are provided to wholesalers and end-product manufacturers. While our activities do not involve direct use of Cannabis nor extracts from the plant, we note that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) has, to date, not approved any marketing application for Cannabis for the treatment of any disease or condition and has approved only one Cannabis-derived and three Cannabis-related drug products. Our ingredients are synthetically made and, therefore, we have no interaction with the Cannabis plant. We do not grow nor utilize Cannabis nor its extracts in any of our Products or Product Candidates; our current pharmaceutical drug Product Candidates are applied topically (not inhaled nor ingested); and, we do not utilize THC or CBD, the most common cannabinoid compounds that are typically extracted from the Cannabis plant, in any of our Products or Product Candidates. The active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”) under development for our initial two drug candidates, INM-755 for Epidermolysis bullosa (“EB”) and INM-088 for glaucoma, is cannabinol (“CBN”). Additional uses of both INM-755 and INM-088 are being explored, as well as the application of novel cannabinoid analogs to treat diseases including but not limited to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s.

InMed Pharmaceuticals Inc.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Three and six months ended December 31, 2022
We believe we are positioned to develop multiple pharmaceutical Product Candidates in diseases which may benefit from medicines based on rare cannabinoid compounds. Most currently approved cannabinoid therapies are based specifically on CBD and/or THC and are often delivered orally, which has limitations and drawbacks, such as side effects (including the intoxicating effects of THC). Currently, we intend to deliver our rare cannabinoid pharmaceutical drug candidates through various topical formulations (cream for dermatology, eye drops for ocular diseases) as a way of enabling treatment of the specific disease at the site of disease while seeking to minimize systemic exposure and any related unwanted systemic side effects, including any drug-drug interactions and any metabolism of the active pharmaceutical ingredient by the liver. The cannabinoid Products sold through our B2B raw material supply business are integrated into various product formats by the companies who then further commercializes such products. We access rare cannabinoids via all non-extraction approaches, including chemical synthesis, biosynthesis and our proprietary integrated IntegraSynTM approach, thus negating any interaction with or exposure to the Cannabis plant.
Since our acquisition of Biogen Sciences Inc., a privately held British Columbia pharmaceutical company focused on drug discovery and development of cannabinoids in 2014, our operations have focused on conducting research and development for our Product Candidates and for our integrated, biosynthesis-based manufacturing technology, establishing our intellectual property, organizing and staffing our Company, business planning and capital raising. On October 13, 2021, we acquired BayMedica, Inc., now named BayMedica, LLC (“BayMedica”). Upon closing of the transaction, BayMedica became a wholly-owned subsidiary of InMed. To date, we have funded our operations primarily through the issuance of common shares.
We have incurred significant operating losses since our inception and since the acquisition of Biogen Science Inc. and we expect to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future. Our ability to generate product revenue, if ever, that is sufficient to achieve profitability will depend heavily on the successful development and eventual commercialization of one or more of our drug candidates and/or the success of our manufacturing technologies. Our net loss was $5.6 million and $7.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $99.1 million, which includes all losses since our inception in 1981. Our accumulated deficit increased between 2014, when we began focusing on the development of cannabinoid-derived pharmaceuticals following the acquisition of Biogen Science Inc., and December 31, 2022 by approximately $70.2 million. We expect our expenses and operating losses will increase substantially over the next several years in connection with our ongoing activities as we:
| ● | continue to further advance the INM-755 program, our lead drug candidate for the treatment of EB; | |
| ● | continue to further advance the INM-088 program, our drug candidate for the treatment of glaucoma; |
| ● | continue to advance research in the INM-900 series program, using rare cannabinoids in treating neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s and Parkinson’s; |
| ● | investigate our Product Candidates for additional uses beyond the initial indications; |
| ● | pursue the discovery of drug targets based on proprietary cannabinoid analogs for other diseases with high unmet medical needs and the subsequent development of any resulting new Product Candidates; |
| ● | seek regulatory approvals for any Product Candidates that successfully complete clinical trials; |
| ● | scale-up our manufacturing processes and capabilities, or arrange for a third party to do so on our behalf; |
| ● | continue to support our commercial operations at BayMedica |
| ● | execute on business development activities, including but not limited to company mergers/acquisitions and acquisition or in-licensing of externally developed products and/or technologies; |
| ● | maintain, expand, enforce, defend and protect our intellectual property; |
| ● | continue to further advance the research and development of various manufacturing technologies; |
| ● | build internal infrastructure, including personnel, to meet our milestones; and |
| ● | add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel, including personnel to support product development and potential future commercialization efforts and our operations as a public company. |
24
InMed Pharmaceuticals Inc.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Three and six months ended December 31, 2022
As a result of these activities as well as our working capital requirements, we will need substantial additional funding to support our continuing operations and pursue our growth strategy. We expect to finance our operations through product sales, the sale of equity, debt financings or other capital sources, including collaborations with other companies or other strategic transactions. We may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other agreements or arrangements when needed on favorable terms, or at all. If we fail to raise capital or enter into such agreements as and when needed, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and commercialization of one or more of our Products and Product Candidates or grant rights to external entities to develop and market our Product Candidates, even if we would otherwise prefer to develop and market such Products and Product Candidates ourselves.
Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with drug development and commercial growth, we are unable to predict the timing or amount of increased expenses and working capital requirements or the timing of when or if we will be able to achieve or maintain profitability. If we fail to become profitable or are unable to sustain profitability on a continuing basis, then we may be unable to continue our operations at planned levels and be forced to reduce or terminate our operations.
Recent Developments
On November 21, 2022, we closed a $6.0 million private placement. Under the terms of the private placement, an aggregate of 1,818,185 common shares, or common share equivalents, and preferred investment options (“PIO”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,272,733 common shares, at an effective purchase price of $3.30 per common share and associated PIO. The PIOs have an exercise price of $3.044 per share, are exercisable immediately and have a term of seven years. After deducting the placement agent fees, we received net cash proceeds of approximately $5.4 million.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
Our revenue consists of manufacturing and distribution sales of bulk rare cannabinoid Products, which are generally recognized at a point in time. The Company recognizes revenue when control over the products have been transferred to the customer and the Company has a present right to payment.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales consist primarily of the purchase price of goods and cost of services rendered, freight costs, warehousing costs, and purchasing costs. Cost of sales also includes production and labor costs for our manufacturing business.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development and Patent Expenses
Research and development and patent expenses represent costs incurred by us for the discovery, development, and manufacture of our Products and Product Candidates and include:
| ● | external research and development expenses incurred under agreements with contract research organizations, or “CROs”, contract development and manufacturing organization, or “CDMOs”, and consultants; |
| ● | salaries, payroll taxes, employee benefits expenses for individuals involved in research and development efforts;
|
|
| ● | research supplies; and
| |
| ● | legal and patent office fees related to patent and intellectual property matters. |
We expense research and development costs as incurred. We recognize expenses for certain development activities, such as preclinical studies and manufacturing, based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using data or other information provided to us by our vendors. Payments for these activities are based on the terms of the individual agreements, which may differ from the pattern of expenses incurred. Non-refundable advance payments for goods or services to be received in the future for use in research and development activities are recorded as prepaid expenses. These amounts are recognized as an expense as the goods are delivered or the related services are performed, or until it is no longer expected that the goods will be delivered, or the services rendered.
25
InMed Pharmaceuticals Inc.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Three and six months ended December 31, 2022
External costs represent a significant portion of our research and development expenses, which we track on a program-by-program basis following the nomination of a development candidate. Our internal research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense. We do not track our internal research and development expenses on a program-by-program basis as the resources are deployed across multiple projects.
The successful development of our Products and Product Candidates is highly uncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate or know the nature, timing, and estimated costs of the efforts that will be necessary to complete the remainder of the development of our Product Candidates or to develop and commercialize additional Products. We are also unable to predict when, if ever, material net cash inflows will commence from our Product Candidates, if approved. This is due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with development, including the uncertainty related to:
| ● | the timing and progress of preclinical and clinical development activities; |
| ● | the number and scope of preclinical and clinical programs we decide to pursue; |
| ● | our ability to raise additional funds necessary to complete preclinical and clinical development and commercialization of our Product Candidates, to further advance the development of our manufacturing technologies, and to develop and commercialize additional Products, if any; |
| ● | our ability to maintain our current research and development programs and to establish new ones; |
| ● | our ability to establish sales, licensing or collaboration arrangements; |
| ● | the progress of the development efforts of parties with whom we may enter into collaboration arrangements; |
| ● | the successful initiation and completion of clinical trials with safety, tolerability and efficacy profiles that are satisfactory to the FDA or any comparable foreign regulatory authority; |
| ● | the receipt and related terms of regulatory approvals from applicable regulatory authorities; |
| ● | the availability of materials for use in production of our Products and Product Candidates; |
| ● | our ability to secure manufacturing supply through relationships with third parties or establish and operate a manufacturing facility; |
| ● | our ability to consistently manufacture our Product Candidates in quantities sufficient for use in clinical trials; |
| ● | our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection and regulatory exclusivity, both in the United States and internationally; |
| ● | our ability to maintain, enforce, defend and protect our rights in our intellectual property portfolio; |
| ● | the commercialization of our Product Candidates, if and when approved, and of new Products; |
| ● | our ability to obtain and maintain third-party payor coverage and adequate reimbursement for our Product Candidates, if approved; |
26
InMed Pharmaceuticals Inc.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Three and six months ended December 31, 2022
| ● | the acceptance of our Product Candidates, if approved, by patients, the medical community and third-party payors; |
| ● | competition with other products; and |
| ● | a continued acceptable safety profile of our Product Candidates following receipt of any regulatory approvals. |
A change in the outcome of any of these variables with respect to the development of any of our Products or Product Candidates would significantly change the costs and timing associated with the development of those Products or Product Candidates.
Research and development activities account for a significant portion of our operating expenses. During the first half of fiscal 2023, research and development expenses has decreased as our INM-755 program progressed from preclinical toxicology studies into the relatively less capital intense early human clinical trials. However, we expect our research and development expenses to increase significantly in future periods as we continue to implement our business strategy, which includes advancing our drug candidates and our manufacturing technologies into and through clinical development, expanding our research and development efforts, including hiring additional personnel to support our research and development efforts, ultimately seeking regulatory approvals for our drug candidates that successfully complete clinical trials, and further developing selected BayMedica activities. In addition, drug candidates in later stages of clinical development generally incur higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later-stage clinical trials. Accordingly, although we expect our research and development expenses to increase as our drug candidates advance into later stages of clinical development, we do not believe that it is possible, at this time, to accurately project total program-specific expenses through to commercialization. There are numerous factors associated with the successful commercialization of any of our Product Candidates, including future trial design and various regulatory requirements, many of which cannot be determined with accuracy at this time based on our stage of development.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist of personnel-related costs, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense, for our personnel in executive, finance and accounting, human resources, business operations and other administrative functions, investor relations activities, legal fees related to corporate matters, fees paid for accounting and tax services, consulting fees and facility-related costs.
Amortization and Depreciation
Intangible assets are comprised of intellectual property that we acquired in 2014 and 2015 and trade secrets, product formulation knowledge, patents that we acquired in October 2021. The acquired intellectual property and patents are amortized on a straight-line basis based on their estimated useful lives. Equipment and leasehold improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method based on their estimated useful lives.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Three and six months ended December 31, 2022
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We assess the recoverability of our long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the long-lived asset is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or assets. If carrying value exceeds the sum of undiscounted cash flows, we then determine the fair value of the underlying asset. Any impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset group. Assets classified as held for sale are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell.
Share-based Payments
Share-based payments is the stock-based compensation expense related to our granting of stock options to employees and others. The fair value, at the grant date, of equity-settled share awards is charged to our loss over the period for which the benefits of employees and others providing similar services are expected to be received. The vesting components of graded vesting employee awards are measured separately and expensed over the related tranche’s vesting period. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of share options expected to vest. The fair value of awards is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which considers the exercise price, current market price of the underlying shares, expected life of the award, risk-free interest rate, expected volatility and the dividend yield.
Other Income
Other income consists primarily of interest income earned on our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.
Results of Operations
As of the closing of the BayMedica acquisition, the Company aligned into two operating and reportable segments, InMed Pharmaceuticals (the “InMed” segment) and BayMedica (the “BayMedica” segment).

General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.5 million in our InMed segment, or 30%, for the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021. The decrease results primarily from a combination of changes including lower personnel expenses, stock-based compensation expenses, accounting fees, investor relation expenses and legal fees, partially offset by higher consulting fees.
Foreign exchange loss
Foreign exchange loss increased by less than $0.1 million in our InMed segment, or 567%, for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021, as a consequence of holding non-US denominated assets and liabilities combined with fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

Sales
Sales increased by $0.2 million in our BayMedica segment, or 77%, for the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021. The increase in distribution sales results from expanded marketing efforts to sell inventory on-hand. In addition, we acquired BayMedica on October 13, 2021 so the three months ended December 31, 2021 results were approximately 2 and a half months. BayMedica will continue to evaluate opportunities for potential structured supply arrangements and collaborations and will consider other potential strategic alternatives for the commercial business.
Cost of Sales
Cost of goods sold increased by $0.2 million in our BayMedica segment, or 120%, for the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021. The increase in cost of goods sold is a result from the increase in sales mentioned above.

Sales
Sales increased by $0.5 million in our BayMedica segment, or 198%, for the six months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2021. The increase in distribution sales results from expanded marketing efforts to sell inventory on-hand in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. In addition, we acquired BayMedica on October 13, 2021 so the six months ended December 31, 2021 results were approximately 2 and a half months.

Inventory Write-Down
The write-down of inventories to net realizable value was $0.6 million in our BayMedica segment for the six months ended December 31, 2022, with no comparable expenses in 2021. Contributing factors to the decrease in net realizable value included lower demand and downward pricing pressure in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

Research and Development and Patents Expenses
Research and development and patents expenses increased by less than $0.1 million in our BayMedica segment, or 1%, for the six months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2021. The increase in research and development and patents expenses was due to the inclusion of BayMedica operating results following the acquisition date on October 13, 2021. There were no comparable expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by $0.6 million in our BayMedica segment, or 212%, for the six months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2021. The increase in general and administrative expenses was due to the inclusion of BayMedica operating results following the acquisition date on October 13, 2021. There were no comparable expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception, we have only generated limited revenue from Product sales, no sales from any other sources and have incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from our operations. We have only commenced commercial sales with the acquisition of BayMedica and not yet commercialized any of our Product Candidates and we do not expect to generate revenue from sales of any Product Candidates for several years, if at all. We have funded our operations to date primarily with proceeds from the sale of common shares.
As of December 31, 2022, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $11.5 million.
The following table summarizes our cash flows for each of the periods presented:
| (in thousands) | Six Months Ended December 31, 2022 | Six Months Ended December 31, 2021 | ||||||
| Net cash used in operating activities | $ | (4,969 | ) | $ | (6,188 | ) | ||

| Net cash provided by financing activities | 10,745 | 10,049 | ||||||
| Net increase in cash and cash equivalents | $ | 5,276 | $ | 3,917 | ||||
Operating Activities
During the six months ended December 31, 2022, we used cash in operating activities of $5.0 million, primarily resulting from our net loss of $5.6 million combined with $0.2 million used in changes in our non-cash working capital, partially offset by non-cash share-based compensation expenses and inventory write-down.
During the six months ended December 31, 2021, we used cash in operating activities of $6.2 million, primarily resulting from our net loss of $7.3 million combined with $0.6 million used in changes in our non-cash working capital, partially offset by non-cash share-based compensation expenses.
Investing Activities
During the six months ended December 31, 2022, cash used in investing activities of $0.5 million resulted from escrow payments made to BayMedica’s historical equity and convertible debt holders.

InMed Pharmaceuticals Inc.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Three and six months ended December 31, 2022
During the six months ended December 31, 2021, cash provided by investing activities of less than $0.1 million resulted from cash acquired from the acquisition of BayMedica, partially offset by purchases of property and equipment.
Financing Activities
During the six months ended December 31, 2022, cash provided by financing activities of $10.7 million consisted of $12.0 million of gross proceeds from private placements of our common shares, offset by total transaction costs of $1.3 million.
During the six months ended December 31, 2021, cash provided by financing activities of $10.0 million consisted of $12.0 million of gross proceeds from a private placement of our common shares, offset by transaction costs of $1.3 million and settlement of debt of $0.4 million reflecting the value of loans to BayMedica as at the date of acquisition and $0.2 million for the repayment of debt assumed in the BayMedica acquisition.
Funding Requirements
We expect our expenses to increase substantially in connection with our ongoing research and development activities, particularly as we continue the research and development of and the clinical trials for our Product Candidates. In addition, we expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a US-listed public company and associated with any required investment into BayMedica’s R&D efforts targeting cannabinoid analogs. As a result, we expect to incur substantial operating losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future.
In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), we have evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are issued.
Through December 31, 2022, we have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from the sale of common stock. We have incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception, including net losses of $5.6 million and $7.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. In addition, we have an accumulated deficit of $99.1 million as of December 31, 2022. Our accumulated deficit increased between 2014, when we began focusing on the development of cannabinoid-derived pharmaceuticals following the acquisition of Biogen Science Inc., and December 31, 2022 by approximately $70.2 million and we expect to continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future.
As of the issuance date of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, we expect our cash and cash equivalents of $11.5 million as of December 31, 2022 will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the last quarter of calendar 2023, depending on the level and timing of realizing revenues from the sale of BayMedica inventory as well as the level and timing of the Company operating expenses. Our future viability is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital to finance our operations. In addition, there are a number of uncertainties in estimating our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements including the impact of potential acquisitions.
As a result, we have concluded that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are issued.
33
InMed Pharmaceuticals Inc.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Three and six months ended December 31, 2022
We expect to continue to seek additional funding through equity financings, debt financings or other capital sources, including collaborations with other companies, government contracts or other strategic transactions. We may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all. The terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of our existing stockholders.
Our funding requirements and timing and amount of our operating expenditures will depend largely on:
| ● | the progress, costs and results of our Phase 2 clinical trial for INM-755; |
| ● | the scope, progress, results and costs of discovery research, preclinical development, laboratory testing and clinical trials for our Product Candidates; |
| ● | the scope, progress, results and costs of development of our manufacturing technologies; |
| ● | the number of and development requirements for other Products and Product Candidates that we pursue; |
| ● | the costs, timing and outcome of regulatory review of our Product Candidates; |
| ● | our ability to enter into contract manufacturing arrangements for supply of materials and manufacture of our Products and Product Candidates and the terms of such arrangements; |
| ● | the impact of any acquired, or in-licensed, externally developed product(s) and/or technologies; |
| ● | our ability to establish and maintain strategic collaborations, licensing or other arrangements, including sales arrangements, and the financial terms of such arrangements; |
| ● | the sales, costs and timing of future commercialization activities, including product manufacturing, sales, marketing and distribution, for any of our Products and for Product Candidates for which we may receive marketing approval; |
| ● | the costs and timing of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property and proprietary rights and defending any intellectual property- related claims; |
| ● | expansion costs of our operational, financial and management systems and increases to our personnel, including personnel to support our clinical development, manufacturing and commercialization efforts and our operations as a dual listed company; and |
| ● | the costs to obtain, maintain, expand and protect our intellectual property portfolio. |
A change in the outcome of any of these, or other variables with respect to the development of any of our Products and Product Candidates, could significantly change the costs and timing associated with their development. We will need to continue to rely on additional financing to achieve our business objectives.
In addition to the variables described above, if and when any of our Product Candidates successfully complete development, we will incur substantial additional costs associated with regulatory filings, marketing approval, post-marketing requirements, maintaining our intellectual property rights, and regulatory protection, in addition to other commercial costs. We cannot reasonably estimate these costs at this time.
34
InMed Pharmaceuticals Inc.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Three and six months ended December 31, 2022
Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial revenues from either our Products or Product Candidates, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity or debt financings and collaboration arrangements. We currently have no credit facility or committed sources of capital. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the future sale of equity securities, the ownership interests of our shareholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our existing common shareholders. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of debt securities, these securities could contain covenants that would restrict our operations. We may require additional capital beyond our currently anticipated amounts, and additional capital may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all. If we raise additional funds through collaboration arrangements or other strategic transactions in the future, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, Products or Product Candidates, or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market Products or Product Candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
During the periods presented we did not have, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
We periodically review our financial reporting and disclosure practices and accounting policies to ensure that they provide accurate and transparent information relative to the current economic and business environment. As part of this process, we have reviewed our selection, application and communication of critical accounting policies and financial disclosures. Management has discussed the development and selection of the critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee has reviewed the disclosure relating to critical accounting policies in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated interim financial statements included as part of this report, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the revenue and expenses incurred during the reported periods. We base estimates on our historical experience, known trends and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Detailed information about our critical accounting policies and estimates is set forth in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2022. There have been no significant changes to these policies during the six months ended December 31, 2022.
Going Concern
Through December 31, 2022, we have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from the sale of common shares. We have incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception, including net losses of $5.6 million and $7.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. In addition, we have an accumulated deficit of $99.1 million as of December 31, 2022. Our accumulated deficit increased between 2014, when we began focusing on the development of cannabinoid-derived pharmaceuticals following the acquisition of Biogen Science Inc., and June 30, 2022 by approximately $70.2 million and we expect to continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future.
As of the issuance date of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, we expect our cash and cash equivalents of $11.5 million as of December 31, 2022 will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the last quarter of calendar 2023, depending on the level and timing of realizing revenues from the BayMedica commercial operations as well as the level and timing of the Company operating expense. Our future viability is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital to finance our operations. In addition, there are a number of uncertainties in estimating our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements including the impact of potential acquisitions.
As a result, we have concluded that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are issued.
We expect to seek additional funding through equity financings, debt financings or other capital sources, including collaborations with other companies, government contracts or other strategic transactions. We may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all. The terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of our existing shareholders.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and, as such, are not required to provide the information under this Item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and to ensure that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. As of December 31, 2022, the Chief Executive Officer and the Interim Chief Financial Officer, with assistance from other members of management, have reviewed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934). Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based upon the evaluation, they have concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level due to a material weakness that existed in our internal controls over financial reporting, primarily the result of inadequate resources required to respond to financial reporting matters other than in the normal course of business, as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.
It should be noted that any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions designed to obtain reasonable (and not absolute) assurance as to its effectiveness, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, except for the items discussed in remediation below.
Remediation
We began implementing a remediation plan to address the previously reported material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, described in Part II, Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. Remediation measures include adding additional resources to our finance function, retaining the services of outside consultants and establishing additional review procedures over the accounting for complex and non-routine transactions. The material weakness will not be considered remediated, until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We expect that the remediation of this material weakness will be completed prior to the end of fiscal year 2023. Notwithstanding the material weakness, we believe the financial statements in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
36
PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
We are not involved in any material active legal actions. However, from time to time, we may be subject to various pending or threatened legal actions and proceedings, including those that arise in the ordinary course of our business.
