Organization, Business and Going Concern

Lexaria Biosciences Corp. (“Lexaria”, or the “Company”) Company was formed on December 9, 2004 under the laws of the State of Nevada as an independent oil and gas company engaged in the exploration, development and acquisition of oil and gas properties in the United States and Canada. In March of 2014, the Company began its entry into the medicinal marijuana and alternative health and wellness business and discontinued its involvement in the oil and gas business in November 2014. In May 2016, the Company also commenced out-licensing its patented technology for the purpose of entering into the U.S. regulated medical and adult use cannabis edibles marketplace. The Company has offices in Vancouver and Kelowna, BC, Canada.

On November 24, 2015, our board of directors approved a forward stock split of our authorized and issued and outstanding shares of common stock on a basis of 1 old share of common stock for 1.1 new shares of common stock.

The forward split became effective with the OTC Markets at the opening of trading on December 16, 2015. Our new CUSIP number is 52886N307.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has a net loss attributable to its common shareholders of $1,214,773 for the year ended August 31, 2016 (2015: $1,770,500) and at August 31, 2016 had a deficit accumulated since its inception of $11,300,662 (2015: $10,085,889). The Company has a working capital balance of $76,285 as at August 31, 2016 (2015: $619,608). The Company requires additional funds to maintain its operations and developments. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in this regard are to raise equity and debt financing as required, but there is no certainty that such financing will be available or that it will be available at acceptable terms. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time and the financing environment continues to be difficult.

These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
