"We continued to make significant progress toward advancing our clinical and commercial goals in the second quarter of 2017," said Dr. Horst G. Zerbe, President and CEO of IntelGenx. "Noteworthy among our achievements in the period was the continued rapid expansion of our intellectual property portfolio, ensuring long-term market exclusivity of our products. Subsequent to quarter-end, we strengthened our balance sheet through the completion of a convertible debenture offering, the net proceeds from which will be used for investments in leasehold improvements and equipment, clinical studies, product development and general working capital requirements."

Financial Results:

Total revenues for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017, amounted to approximately $1.1 million, representing an increase of $454,000 or 68%, compared to $672,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016. The increase for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to the last year's corresponding period is mainly attributable to the increase in upfront and deferred revenues, which were partially offset by a decrease in royalties.

Operating costs and expenses were $1.7 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017, versus $1.5 million for the corresponding quarter in 2016. The increase for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017 is mainly attributable to an increase in Research and Development expenses of $228,000.

For the second quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Company had an operating loss of $613,000, compared to an operating loss of $794,000 for the comparable period of 2016.

Net comprehensive loss was $550,000 or $0.01 on a basic and diluted per share basis, for the period ended June 30, 2017, compared to net comprehensive loss of $806,000, or $0.01 on a basic and diluted per share basis, for the comparable period of 2016.

As of June 30, 2017, the Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totalled $2.8 million, which did not include gross proceeds of CAD $7.6 million (USD $6.1 million) raised in two tranches in its July 2017 and August 2017 convertible debenture offering.
