1.    Nature of Business and Going Concern

Fennec Pharmaceuticals Inc., a British Columbia corporation (“Fennec,” ”the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), is a commercial stage specialty biopharmaceutical company focused on PEDMARK® (sodium thiosulfate injection) for the prevention of platinum-induced ototoxicity in pediatric cancer patients. We have four wholly-owned subsidiaries: Oxiquant, Inc. and Fennec Pharmaceuticals, Inc., both Delaware corporations, Cadherin Biomedical Inc., a Canadian company, and Fennec Pharmaceuticals (EU) Limited (“Fennec Limited”), an Ireland company. 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 (“U.S. 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred a loss from operations of $7,899 and $16,454, respectively. At September 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $196,343 and had experienced negative cash flows from operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 in the amount of $11,256.

On August 1, 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Petrichor Opportunities Fund I LP (the “Creditor”) in connection with the issuance of up to $45,000 of senior secured floating rate convertible notes (the “Notes”), issuable in multiple tranches (the “Note Financing”).  On August 19, 2022, the Company closed on the initial tranche of $5,000 (the “First Closing Note”) which has an Initial Conversion Price equal to $8.11 per share, which was calculated based on a 20% premium of the 5-day volume weighted average price of the Company’s common shares as traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “VWAP”) immediately prior to the announcement of the Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) dated August 1, 2022. In connection with the first closing, the Company repaid in full its secured indebtedness with Bridge Bank in the amount of $5,000.

On September 23, 2022, the Company closed on the second tranche of the Note Financing in the amount of $20,000 (the “Second Closing Note”), which has an Initial Conversion Price equal to $7.89 per share, which was calculated based on a 20% premium of the 5-day VWAP immediately prior to September 20, 2022, which was the date the Company obtained FDA approval of PEDMARK (the “Second Closing Trigger”).

Subsequent to the funding of the Second Closing Note, and before December 31, 2023, the Company may draw up to $20,000 of additional financing under the SPA, in one or more tranches of $10,000 upon mutual agreement of the Company and the Creditor (the “Subsequent Closing Notes”). The Subsequent Closing Notes will be convertible at a price per share equal to $7.89 per share, which price is calculated on the same basis as for the Second Closing Note.

A commitment fee of 2.0% of the Notes is payable under the SPA. Half of such fee was paid by the issuance on the first closing of warrants to purchase 55,498 of the Company's common shares (“First Closing Warrant”) and half is payable in cash or warrants of 55,498 of the Company’s common shares (“Second Closing Warrant”), at our election, on the second closing. The warrants are exercisable at a price per share of $8.11 and will have a term of five years from the date of the grant. Subsequently, the Company elected to have the all the commitment fee of the Notes paid in warrants.

The Company believes current funds, along with the funds from the Note Financing issued as part of the Creditor financing provide sufficient funding for the Company to carry out its planned activities, including the commencement of commercialization efforts for at least the next twelve months of PEDMARK. The Company also has the ability to obtain additional funds under the Subsequent Closing Notes.

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 was not appropriate or if there was a materially adverse event which affected the Company’s solvency.
