ONCOLYTICS BIOTECH INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
June 30, 2021
Note 1: Incorporation and Nature of Operations

Oncolytics Biotech Inc. was incorporated on April 2, 1998 under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) as 779738 Alberta Ltd. On April 8, 1998, we changed our name to Oncolytics Biotech Inc.

Our interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2021, were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors (the "Board") on August 5, 2021. We are a limited company incorporated and domiciled in Canada. Our shares are publicly traded on the Nasdaq Capital Markets and the Toronto Stock Exchange. Our principal place of business is located at 804, 322 11th Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

We are a development stage biopharmaceutical company that focuses on the discovery and development of pharmaceutical products for the treatment of cancers that have not been successfully treated with conventional therapeutics. Our lead product, pelareorep, is a potential immuno-oncology viral-agent that may be a novel treatment for certain types of cancer and may be an alternative to or used in combination with existing cytotoxic or cytostatic therapies. Our clinical development program for pelareorep centers on key immunotherapy combinations. Specifically, immunotherapy combinations in which pelareorep has the potential to provoke specific innate and adaptive immune responses when combined with checkpoint blockade therapy, chemotherapy and/or targeted therapies.

The full extent to which the coronavirus infectious disease 2019 ("COVID-19") pandemic may directly or indirectly impact our business, results of operations and financial condition, including our ability to finance our operations, expenses, clinical trials, and research and development costs, 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. We considered the potential impact of COVID-19 when making certain estimates and judgments relating to the preparation of these interim consolidated financial statements. While there was no material impact to our interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended June 30, 2021, our future assessment of the magnitude and duration of COVID-19, as well as other factors, could result in a material impact to our consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.

Note 2: Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

Our interim consolidated financial statements include our financial statements and the financial statements of our subsidiaries as at June 30, 2021 and are presented in Canadian dollars, our functional currency.
Our accounts are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). The accounts are prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value as explained in the notes to these financial statements.
These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The notes presented in these interim consolidated financial statements include only significant events and transactions occurring since our last fiscal year end and are not fully inclusive of all matters required to be disclosed in our annual audited consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our most recent annual audited consolidated financial statements, for the year ended December 31, 2020. We have consistently applied the same accounting policies for all periods presented in these interim consolidated financial statements as those used in our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Note 3: Cash Equivalents
 
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of interest bearing deposits with our bank totaling $47,944,484 (December 31, 2020 – $30,361,591).  The current annual interest rate earned on these deposits is 0.45% (December 31, 2020 – 0.36%).

Note 4: Warrant Derivative

On August 16, 2019, pursuant to an underwritten public offering, 4,619,773 units were sold at a purchase price of US$0.81 per unit for gross proceeds of US$3,742,016. Each unit included one common share and one common share purchase warrant (see Note 5). Each common share purchase warrant entitled the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of US$0.90 until August 16, 2024.

Under IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation, warrants with an exercise price denominated in a currency that differs from an entity's functional currency are treated as a derivative measured at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value accounted for through profit and loss. Our warrants with an exercise price of US$0.90 meet this requirement and we have presented the fair value of these warrants as a current liability on the consolidated statement of financial position. As these warrants are exercised, the fair value at the date of exercise and the associated non-cash liability will be included in our share capital along with the proceeds from the exercise. If these warrants expire, the non-cash warrant liability is reversed through the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. There is no cash flow impact as a result of the accounting treatment for changes in the fair value of the warrant derivative or when warrants expire unexercised.

A reconciliation of the change in fair value of the warrant derivative is as follows:

Foreign exchange impact— (6,211)
As at June 30, 202164,035 153,968 

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we received cash proceeds of US$181,550 (June 30, 2020 - US$1,276,532) with respect to warrants exercised.

We use the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate fair value. The expected volatility is based on the Company's common share historical volatility less an estimated market participant risk adjustment. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Department of Treasury benchmark treasury yield rates with an approximate equivalent remaining term in effect at the time of valuation and the expected life represents the estimated length of time the warrants are expected to remain outstanding.

The estimated fair value of the warrant derivative was determined using the following assumptions:

We have also issued performance share units ("PSUs") to certain officers and employees of the Company. Grants of PSUs require completion of certain performance criteria and cliff vest after 3 years or vest over a three year period, depending on the grant. The following PSUs are outstanding at June 30:
20212020
Outstanding, beginning of the period56,841 61,051 
Released during the period(56,841)(4,210)
Outstanding, end of the period 56,841 

We have reserved 5,495,967 common shares for issuance relating to our outstanding equity compensation plans. Compensation expense related to stock options, RSUs and PSUs were $1,032,242 and $1,690,318 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively (June 30, 2020 - $260,640 and $653,445, respectively).


Note 7: Loss Per Common Share
 
Loss per common share is calculated using net loss for the period and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 of 54,325,212 and 52,008,768, respectively (June 30, 2020 - 39,603,671 and 37,734,689, respectively). The effect of any potential exercise of our stock options and warrants outstanding during the year has been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per common share, as it would be anti-dilutive.

Note 8: Contract Liability

Regional licensing agreement
We entered into a regional licensing agreement (the "Licensing Agreement") with Adlai Nortye Biopharma Co., Ltd. ("Adlai") in November 2017. Under the terms of the Licensing Agreement, Adlai will have exclusive development and commercialization rights to pelareorep in China, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan. We are entitled to receive upfront license fees, development and regulatory milestone payments, royalties and sales-based milestone payments.

Under a clinical trial agreement entered into with the Alberta Cancer Board (“ACB”), we have agreed to repay the amount funded under the agreement together with a royalty, to a combined maximum amount of $400,000 plus an overhead repayment of $100,000, upon sales of a specified product. We agreed to repay the ACB in annual installments in an amount equal to the lesser of: (a) 5% of gross sales of a specified product; or (b) $100,000 per annum once sales of a specified product commence.

Leases
Our portfolio of leases consists of office spaces with initial lease terms generally between 3 to 6 years. We currently do not have leases with variable lease payments or residual value guarantees.

During the first six months of 2021, we extended the office lease for one of our subsidiaries and entered into a new office space lease for our Canadian head office for which we recorded an addition of $532,758 to the lease liability and right-of-use asset. The incremental borrowing rate applied was 15%.
Our total undiscounted lease liability as at June 30, 2021 is as follows:

Note 10: Capital Disclosures
 
Our objective when managing capital is to maintain a strong statement of financial position. We achieve our objective by obtaining adequate cash resources to support planned activities which include the clinical trial program, product manufacturing, administrative costs and intellectual property expansion and protection. We include shareholders’ equity and cash and cash equivalents in the definition of capital.

Cash and cash equivalents50,799,432 31,219,574 
Shareholders’ equity46,486,703 24,752,993 

We do not have any debt other than trade accounts payable and lease liabilities, and we have potential contingent obligations relating to the completion of our research and development of pelareorep.

In managing our capital, we estimate our future cash requirements by preparing a budget and a multi-year plan annually for review and approval by our Board. The budget establishes the approved activities for the upcoming year and estimates the costs associated with these activities. The multi-year plan estimates future activity along with the potential cash requirements and is based on our assessment of our current clinical trial progress along with the expected results from the coming year’s activity. Budget to actual variances are prepared and reviewed by management and are presented quarterly to the Board.

Historically, funding for our plan is primarily managed through the issuance of additional common shares and common share purchase warrants that upon exercise are converted to common shares. Management regularly monitors the capital markets attempting to balance the timing of issuing additional equity with our progress through our clinical trial program, general market conditions, and the availability of capital. There are no assurances that funds will be made available to us when required.

On June 12, 2020, we renewed our short form base shelf prospectus (the "Base Shelf") that qualifies for distribution of up to $150,000,000 of common shares, subscription receipts, warrants, or units (the "Securities") in either Canada, the US or both. Under a Base Shelf, we may sell Securities to or through underwriters, dealers, placement agents or other intermediaries and also may sell Securities directly to purchasers or through agents, subject to obtaining any applicable exemption from registration requirements. The distribution of Securities may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be subject to change, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, or at prices related to such prevailing market prices to be negotiated with purchasers and as set forth in an accompanying Prospectus Supplement.

Renewing our Base Shelf provides us with additional flexibility when managing our cash resources as, under certain circumstances, it shortens the time period required to close a financing and is expected to increase the number of potential investors that may be prepared to invest in our company. Funds received as a result of using our Base Shelf would be used in line with our Board approved budget and multi-year plan. Our renewed Base Shelf will be effective until July 12, 2022.

Our Base Shelf allowed us to enter into our ATM equity distribution agreements in June 2020 and March 2021 (see Note 5). We use these equity arrangements to assist us in achieving our capital objective. These arrangements provide us with the opportunity to raise capital at our sole discretion providing us with the ability to better manage our cash resources.

We are not subject to externally imposed capital requirements and there have been no changes in how we define or manage our capital in 2021.

Note 11: Financial Instruments
 
Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, other liabilities, accounts payable and warrant derivative. As at June 30, 2021, the carrying amount of our cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, other liabilities and accounts payable approximated their fair value. The warrant derivative is a recurring Level 2 fair value measurement as these warrants have not been listed on an exchange and therefore do not trade on an active market. As at June 30, 2021, the fair value of our warrant derivative was $153,968 (December 31, 2020 - $531,228).  

Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. We are exposed to credit risk on our cash and cash equivalents in the event of non-performance by counterparties, but we do not anticipate such non-performance. Our maximum exposure to credit risk at the end of the period is the carrying value of our cash and cash equivalents and other receivables.

We mitigate our exposure to credit risk by maintaining our primary operating and investment bank accounts with Schedule I banks in Canada. For our foreign domiciled bank accounts, we use referrals or recommendations from our Canadian banks to open foreign bank accounts and these accounts are used solely for the purpose of settling accounts payable or payroll.

Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. We are exposed to interest rate risk through our cash and cash equivalents. We mitigate this risk through our investment policy that only allows investment of excess cash resources in investment grade vehicles while matching maturities with our operational requirements.
 
Fluctuations in market rates of interest do not have a significant impact on our results of operations due to the short term to maturity of the investments held.

Foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risk arises from changes in foreign exchange rates that may affect the fair value or future cash flows of our financial assets or liabilities. We are primarily exposed to the risk of changes in the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar and Euro as a portion of our financial assets and liabilities are denominated in such currencies. The impact of a $0.01 increase in the value of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar would have decreased our net comprehensive loss in 2021 by approximately $360,000. The impact of a $0.10 increase in the value of the Euro against the Canadian dollar would have decreased our net comprehensive loss in 2021 by approximately $14,000.
