Fennec Pharmaceuticals Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements
September 30, 2020
(All dollar amounts shown in thousands)
1. Nature of Business and Going Concern
Fennec Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Fennec,”
the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on
the development of PEDMARK TM (a unique formulation of sodium thiosulfate) for the prevention of platinum-induced ototoxicity
in pediatric cancer patients. We incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act (“CBCA”) in September 1996.
Effective on August 25, 2011, the Company continued from the CBCA to the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the
“Continuance”). The Continuance was approved by our shareholders at our June 2011 Annual and Special Meeting and
by resolution of the Board of Directors on August 10, 2011. 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 formed in 2018. 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 three and nine-months ended
September 30, 2020, the Company incurred a loss from operations of $5,859 and $14,539, respectively. At September 30, 2020, the
Company had an accumulated deficit of $158,902 and had experienced negative cash flows from operating activities during the three
and nine-months ended September 30, 2020 in the amount of $5,446 and $12,311, respectively.
On May 5, 2020, the Company announced
the completion of an underwritten public offering of 4,800,000 common shares at a public offering price of $6.25 per share. In
addition, Fennec issued an additional 660,204 common shares in connection with the partial exercise of the underwriters’
over-allotment option. The approximate total gross proceeds from the offering was $31,967 ($34,100 net of commissions, fees and
issue costs).
On February 1, 2019, Fennec entered
into a Loan and Security Agreement with Bridge Bank, a division of Western Alliance Bank, an Arizona corporation, pursuant to which
the Bank agreed to loan $12,500 to the Company, to be made available upon New Drug Application (NDA) approval of PEDMARK by no
later than September 30, 2020. The proceeds from the loan will be used for working capital purposes and to fund general business
requirements in accordance with the terms of the Loan and Security Agreement. Interest under the Term Loans shall bear interest,
on the outstanding daily balance thereof, at a floating per annum rate equal to the Effective Interest Rate (as defined in the
Loan and Security Agreement) which is equal to the sum of the Prime Rate published in the Wall Street Journal (currently 3.25%)
plus one percent (1.00%). The debt facility is to have interest-only monthly payments due for the first eighteen months from the
funding date and then monthly principal and interest payments are due through the remainder of the term which has a maturity date
of October 1, 2023. In connection with the facility, Fennec granted Bridge Bank a warrant to purchase up to 39 common shares
at an exercise price of $6.80 per common share, for a term of ten years from the date of issuance, subject to early termination
under certain conditions.
On June 26, 2020, Fennec announced
an amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement with Bridge Bank. This amendment provides Fennec with an $18,000 debt facility
comprised of two term loans. Term Loan A consists of $12,500 to be funded upon New Drug Application NDA approval of PEDMARK TM
in the U.S. to be made available upon NDA approval of PEDMARK by no later than December 31, 2020 and Term Loan B consists
of $5,500 to be funded upon the occurrence of a revenue event in 2021. The interest-only period for the facility has the
ability to be extended from 18 months to 24 months from the funding of Term Loan A, provided that Term Loan B is funded, and certain
conditions are met. The fee in connection with Loan B, can either be 2.13% of the Loan B amount in cash, or the Company can issue
a warrant with a value equal to 3.25% of the Loan B amount. On August 6, 2020, the Company paid cash for the extended facility.
These statements reflect that fee being settled with cash instead of a warrant. Under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC")
470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments, the amendment was considered a modification. As such, the Company had been amortizing
the loan fee and the value of the warrant over the remainder of the loan term. Following the receipt of the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration’s (FDA) Complete Response Letter (CRL), management decided to fully amortize the remining portions of the
loan fee and the value of the warrants.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements
September 30, 2020
(All dollar amounts shown in thousands)
On August 10, 2020, the Company received a CRL from the FDA
regarding its New Drug Application (NDA) for PEDMARK TM . According to the CRL, after recent completion of a pre-approval
inspection of the manufacturing facility of our drug product manufacturer, the FDA identified deficiencies that are required to
be resolved prior to the approval of PEDMARK TM . Importantly, no clinical safety or efficacy issues were identified during
the review and there is no requirement for further clinical data. The Company plans to work closely with the third-party drug manufacturer
and the FDA to fully address the CRL and plan to resubmit the NDA for PEDMARK TM as quickly as possible. As a result
of the FDA’s CRL the anticipated product launch did not occur as of September 30, 2020 and thus the Bridge Bank Term Loan
A has not yet been funded. The Company does not believe it will receive FDA approval by December 31, 2020 and thus has fully amortized
the deferred asset associated with Term Loan A. Furthermore, the Company believes the delay in approval will mean it will not be
able to meet the revenue target to fund Term Loan B. As such, the deferred asset associated with Term Loan B has been expensed.
The Company is currently in negotiations with Bridge Bank to receive an extension on both Term Loan A and B.
The Company believes the funds raised in
the public offering which closed in May 2020, provides sufficient funding for the Company to carry-out its planned activities
including potential NDA approval and the commencement of commercialization efforts for at least the next twelve months as it continues
its strategic development of PEDMARK TM .
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.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and are the responsibility of the Company’s
management. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes
required by US GAAP for annual financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2019. The Company's accounting policies are consistent with those presented in the audited consolidated financial statements included
in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in U.S. dollars. All amounts presented are in thousands except for per share amounts.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the interim condensed consolidated financial
statements and the reported amounts of expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In the opinion of management, these unaudited
interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary
for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at September 30, 2020 and to state fairly the results
for the periods presented. The most significant estimates utilized during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 included estimates
necessary to value grants of stock options to employees and various contractors, disclosed in Note 4.

New accounting pronouncements
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU
2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.
ASU 2018-13 removes certain disclosures, modifies certain disclosures and adds additional disclosures. The ASU was effective
for us on January 1, 2020, and interim periods within that fiscal year. Certain disclosures in ASU 2018-13 would need to be
applied on a retrospective basis and others on a prospective basis. The Company concluded after evaluation, that the impact of
ASU 2018-13 on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures was de minimis.
In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt
with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic
815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which, among other things, provides
guidance on how to account for contracts on an entity’s own equity. This ASU simplifies the accounting for certain financial
instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. Specifically, the ASU eliminated the need for the Company to assess
whether a contract on the entity’s own equity (1) permits settlement in unregistered shares, (2) whether counterparty
rights rank higher than shareholder’s rights, and (3) whether collateral is required. In addition, the ASU requires
incremental disclosure related to contracts on the entity’s own equity and clarifies the treatment of certain financial instruments
accounted for under this ASU on earnings per share. This ASU may be applied on a full retrospective of modified retrospective basis.
This ASU is effective January 1, 2022 and interim periods presented. Early adoption of the ASU is permitted by the Company
effective January 1, 2021. The Company is in the process of assessing the adoption of the ASU on the Company’s financial
statements.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid
investments with original maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents
in investments held by highly rated financial institutions in accordance with its investment policy designed to protect the principal
investment. At September 30, 2020, the Company had $33,166 in cash, savings and money market accounts ($13,650 at December 31,
2019). At September 30, 2020, the Company held $19 in cash of which $11 (as presented in U.S. dollars) was in Canadian dollars
($24 at December 31, 2019 as presented in U.S. dollars). At September 30, 2020, the Company held $33,147 in money
market investments. Money market investments typically have minimal risks. The Company has not experienced any loss or write-down
of its money market investments since inception.
3. Earnings per Share
Earnings per common share is presented
under two formats: basic earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share. Basic earnings per common share is computed
by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period, plus the potentially dilutive impact of common stock equivalents (i.e. stock options and warrants). Dilutive
common share equivalents consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants. The following
table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share:

Stock option plan
On June 22, 2020, shareholders of
the Company approved a resolution adopting the Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). This Plan replaces the Amended and
Restated Stock Option Plan passed by shareholders in 2019. The Plan expands the types of instruments which may be issued as incentive
compensation to employees, directors and designated contractors. In addition to stock options, the Plan may also issue: stock appreciation
rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, unrestricted stock awards, cash-based awards and dividend equivalent rights.
The Company believes this Plan gives it the ability to align incentives with strategic objectives.
The Compensation Committee of the Board
of Directors administers the Company’s Plan. The Compensation Committee designates eligible participants to be included
under the Plan and approves the number of options to be granted from time to time under the Plan. Currently, the maximum number
of option shares issuable is twenty-five percent (25%) of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Based
upon the current shares outstanding, a maximum of 6,452 options are authorized for issuance under the Plan. For all options
issued under the Plan, the exercise price is the fair value of the underlying shares on the date of grant. All options vest
within three years or less and are exercisable for a period of ten years from the date of grant. The Plan allows the issuance
of Canadian and U.S. dollar grants. The table below outlines recognized contractor and employee expense for the three and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Fair Value Measurements
The Company adopted the Fair Value Measurements
and Disclosure Topic of the FASB in 2011. This Topic applies to certain assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported
on a fair value basis. The Topic defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with US GAAP,
and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This Topic enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the
inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information
used to determine fair values. The Topic requires that financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and
disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs
or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not
corroborated by market data.

Commitments and Contingencies
Oregon Health & Science University
Agreement
On February 20, 2013, Fennec entered
into a new exclusive license agreement with OHSU for exclusive worldwide license rights to intellectual property directed to thiol-based
compounds, including sodium thiosulfate and their use in oncology (the "OHSU Agreement"). OHSU will receive certain
milestone payments, royalty on net sales for licensed products and a royalty on any consideration received from sublicensing of
the licensed technology.
On May 18, 2015, Fennec negotiated
an amendment ("Amendment 1") to the OHSU Agreement, which expands Fennec’s exclusive license to include the use
of N-acetylcysteine as a standalone therapy and/or in combination with sodium thiosulfate for the prevention of ototoxicity induced
by chemotherapeutic agents to treat cancers. Further, Amendment 1 adjusts select milestone payments entered in the OHSU Agreement
including but not limited to the royalty rate on net sales for licensed products, royalty rate from sublicensing of the licensed
technology and the fee payable upon the regulatory approval of a licensed product.
The term of the OHSU Agreement as amended
by Amendment 1 expires on the date of the last to expire claim(s) covered in the patents licensed to Fennec or 8 years, whichever
is later. In the event a licensed product obtains regulatory approval and is covered by the Orphan Drug Designation, the parties
will in good faith amend the term of the agreement. Sodium thiosulfate is currently protected by methods of use patents that the
Company exclusively licensed from OHSU that expire in Europe in 2021 and that expire in the United States in 2038. The OHSU Agreement
is terminable by either Fennec or OHSU in the event of a material breach of the agreement by either party after 45 days prior written
notice. Fennec also has the right to terminate the OHSU Agreement at any time upon 60 days prior written notice and payment of
all fees due to OHSU under the OHSU Agreement.

Class Action Suit
Following the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s)
Complete Response Letter (CRL) regarding its New Drug Application (NDA) for PEDMARK TM as described in Note 1, a putative
lawsuit was filed against us purportedly on behalf of purchasers of the Company’s securities between February 11, 2020 and August
10, 2020. The lawsuit seeks to recover damages for Fennec investors under federal securities laws. While we believe that
the lawsuit is without merit and intend to vigorously defend against it, the lawsuit is in its early stages and no assessment can
be made as to their likely outcome or whether the outcome will be material to us. This litigation, and any other securities class actions that
may be brought against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources.
Executive Severance
In the event of his termination with us
other than for cause, we will be obligated to pay Mr. Raykov a one-time severance payment equal to twelve months of salary
(as of November 5, 2020, $430,000). In the event of his termination with us other than for cause, we will be obligated to
pay Mr. Andrade a one-time severance payment equal to nine-months of salary (as of November 5, 2020, $155,875). In the
event of her termination with us other than for cause, we will be obligated to pay Ms. Goel a one-time severance payment equal
to three months of salary (as of November 5, 2020, $90,000)
Leases
We have an operating lease in Research
Triangle Park, North Carolina utilizing small space within a commercial building. The operating lease has payments of $400 per
month with no scheduled increases. This operating lease is terminable with 30 days’ notice and has no penalties or contingent
payments due.
On January 23, 2020, the Company entered into an
Office Service Agreement (the “Office Service Agreement”) with Regus to lease office space at in Hoboken,
New Jersey. Per the terms of the Office Service Agreement, the monthly rent payments are $1,150. The Company was required to pay
a security deposit of $2,300, which is the equivalent to two months of rent. The Office Service Agreement commenced
on January 27, 2020 and terminated on July 31, 2020, where it automatically renewed for a successive period equal to
the original term. Either party is able to terminate the agreement by providing no less than three months' advance written
notice of termination.
COVID-19
The Company’s operations may be affected
by the recent and ongoing outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) which was declared a pandemic by the World Health
Organization in March 2020. The ultimate disruption which may be caused by the outbreak is uncertain; however, it may result
in a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, operations and cash flows. Possible effects may include,
but are not limited to, disruption to the Company’s product launch which includes the ability of sales reps to communicate
with oncologists, absenteeism in the Company’s labor workforce, unavailability of products and supplies used in operations,
and a decline in value of assets held by the Company, including inventories, property and equipment, and marketable securities.
COVID-19 has not had a material effect on the Company’s operations to date as the Company has historically had a workforce
which works remotely, preparations for product launch have been under the assumption of a virtual launch and product supplies have
not been impacted.
Loan Security Agreement
On February 1, 2019, the Company’s
wholly owned subsidiary Fennec Pharmaceuticals Inc. entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan and Security Agreement”)
with Bridge Bank, a division of Western Alliance Bank, an Arizona corporation (the “Bank”), pursuant to which the Bank
agreed to loan $12,500 to Fennec Pharmaceuticals, Inc., to be made available upon NDA approval of PEDMARK by no later than
September 30, 2020. The proceeds from the loan will be used for working capital purposes and to fund general business requirements
in accordance with the terms of the Loan and Security Agreement. Interest under the Term Loans shall bear interest, on the outstanding
daily balance thereof, at a floating per annum rate equal to the Effective Interest Rate (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement)
which is equal to the sum of the Prime Rate published in the Wall Street Journal (currently 3.25%) plus one percent (1.00%). The
debt facility is to have interest-only monthly payments due for the first eighteen months from the funding date and then monthly
principal and interest payments are due through the remainder of the term which has a maturity date of October 1, 2023. In
connection with the facility, Fennec granted Bridge Bank a warrant to purchase up to 39 common shares at an exercise price of $6.80
per common share, for a term of ten years from the date of issuance, subject to early termination under certain conditions.

On June 26, 2020, Fennec announced
an amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement with Bridge Bank. This amendment provides Fennec with an $18,000 debt facility
comprised of two term loans. Term Loan A consists of $12,500 to be funded upon NDA approval of PEDMARK TM in the U.S.
by no later than December 31, 2020 and Term Loan B consists of $5,500 to be funded upon the occurrence of a revenue event
in 2021. The interest-only period for the facility has the ability to be extended from 18 months to 24 months from the funding
of Term Loan A, provided that Term Loan B is funded, and certain conditions are met. Under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC")
470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments, the amendment was considered a modification. As such, the Company had been amortizing
the loan fee and the value of the warrant over the remainder of the loan term. Following the receipt of the FDA’s CRL, management
decided to fully amortize the remining portions of the loan fee and the value of the warrants.
The combined value of the granted warrants
and the associated costs to secure the loan facility (approximately $466 thousand) were capitalized on the balance sheet as a long-term
asset. As a result of the CRL and delays with FDA approval and product launch, the Company does not believe it will meet the conditions
to fund Term Loan A or B and thus has fully amortized all remaining unamortized value associated with the deferred issuance costs.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded amortization expense of roughly $355 and a total of $466
has been amortized as of September 30, 2020.
