Nature of Business and Going Concern
 
Fennec Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Fennec”) is a British Columbia corporation. 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 PEDMARKTM (a unique formulation 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 nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company incurred a loss from operations of $4,436. At September 30, 2017, it had an accumulated deficit of $119,078 and had experienced negative cash flows from operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 in the amount of $2,321.
 
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. However, as of September 30, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of $9,688 and believe that our cash resources will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements through and beyond current fiscal year.
 
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.
