Nature of Business and Going Concern
 
Fennec Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Fennec”) was originally formed as a British Columbia corporation under the name Adherex Technologies Inc. and subsequently changed its name on September 3, 2014. Fennec, together with its wholly owned subsidiaries Oxiquant, Inc. (“Oxiquant”) and Fennec Pharmaceuticals, Inc., both Delaware corporations, and Cadherin Biomedical Inc. (“CBI”), a Canadian corporation, collectively referred to herein as the “Company,” is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of Sodium Thiosulfate (“STS”) for the prevention of ototoxicity from cisplatin in pediatric patients. With the exception of Fennec Pharmaceuticals, Inc., all subsidiaries are inactive.
 
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) that are applicable to a going concern which contemplates that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company incurred a net loss from operations of $1,144 which excludes an unrealized non-cash gain of $26 on derivative liabilities. At June 30, 2016, it had an accumulated deficit of $112,677 and had experienced negative cash flows from operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2016 in the amount of $969.
 
These circumstances raise substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to meet its obligations as they come due and, accordingly, the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern may not be appropriate. The Company will need to obtain additional funding in the future in order to finance the Company’s business strategy, operations and growth through the issuance of equity, debt or business combinations. If the Company fails to arrange for sufficient capital on a timely basis, the Company may be required to curtail its business activities until it can obtain adequate financing.
 
These financial statements do not reflect the potentially material adjustments in the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses, and the balance sheet classifications used, that would be necessary if the going concern assumption were not appropriate.
