Nature of operations, corporate history, and going concern and management plans
Nature of operations
Kintara Therapeutics, Inc. (formerly DelMar Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) (the “Company”) is a clinical stage drug development company with a focus on the development of novel cancer therapies for patients with unmet medical needs. The Company is developing two late-stage, Phase 3-ready therapeutics - VAL-083 for glioblastoma multiforme and REM-001 for cutaneous metastatic breast cancer. In order to accelerate the Company’s development timelines, it leverages existing preclinical and clinical data from a wide range of sources. The Company may seek marketing partnerships in order to potentially offset clinical costs and to generate future royalty revenue from approved indications of its product candidates.
On June 9, 2020, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Adgero Acquisition Corp., the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary incorporated in the State of Delaware (“Merger Sub”), and Adgero Biopharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Adgero”). On August 19, 2020, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Adgero (the “Merger”), the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased and Adgero continued its existence under Delaware law as the surviving corporation in the Merger and became a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As a result of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of Adgero common stock, par value $ 0.0001 per share (the “Adgero Common Stock”) (other than treasury shares held by Adgero), was converted automatically into 1.5740 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of the Company’s common stock per share of Adgero Common Stock, and cash in lieu of any fractional shares. Also, each outstanding warrant to purchase Adgero Common Stock was converted into a warrant exercisable for that number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of Adgero Common Stock for which such warrant was exercisable and (y) the Exchange Ratio.
Following the completion of the Merger, the Company changed its name from DelMar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to Kintara Therapeutics, Inc. and began trading on Nasdaq under the symbol “KTRA”.
Corporate history
The Company is a Nevada corporation formed on June 24, 2009 under the name Berry Only, Inc. On January 25, 2013, the Company entered into and closed an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), with Del Mar Pharmaceuticals (BC) Ltd. (“Del Mar (BC)”), 0959454 B.C. Ltd. (“Callco”), and 0959456 B.C. Ltd. (“Exchangeco”) and the security holders of Del Mar (BC). Upon completion of the Exchange Agreement, Del Mar (BC) became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Reverse Acquisition”).
Kintara Therapeutics, Inc. is the parent company of Del Mar (BC), a British Columbia, Canada corporation and Adgero, a Delaware corporation, which are clinical stage companies with a focus on the development of drugs for the treatment of cancer. The Company is also the parent company to Callco and Exchangeco which are British Columbia, Canada corporations. Callco and Exchangeco were formed to facilitate the Reverse Acquisition. In connection with the Merger, the Company also became the parent company of Adgero Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Adgero Bio”), formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of Adgero.
References to the Company refer to the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Going concern and management plans
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue its operations for the foreseeable future and contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business .
For the nine months ended March 31, 2021, the Company reported a loss of $ 31,566 and a negative cash flow from operations of $ 14,171 . The Company had an accumulated deficit of $ 104,489 and had cash and cash equivalents of $ 15,718 as of March 31, 2021. The Company is in the clinical stage and has not generated any revenues to-date. The Company does not have the prospect of achieving revenues until such time that its product candidates are commercialized, or partnered, which may not ever occur. In the near future, the Company will require additional funding to maintain its clinical trials, research and development projects, and for general operations. These circumstances indicate substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date of filing of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
7
Consequently, management is pursuing various financing alternatives to fund the Company’s operations so it can continue as a going concern. However, the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic has created significant economic uncertainty and volatility in the credit and capital markets. Management plans to secure the necessary financing through the issue of new equity and/or the entering into of strategic partnership arrangements but the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital is unknown and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and any new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company may not be able to raise sufficient additional capital and may tailor its drug candidate development programs based on the amount of funding the Company is able to raise in the future. Nevertheless, there is no assurance that these initiatives will be successful.
These financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

Significant accounting policies
Basis of presentation
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and are presented in United States dollars. The functional currency of the Company and each of its subsidiaries is the United States dollar.
The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Adgero, Adgero Bio, Del Mar BC, Callco, and Exchangeco. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are set out below and have been consistently applied to all periods presented.
Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform with the current period’s presentation.
Unaudited interim financial data
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and the notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company as at June 30, 2020 included in the Company’s Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation. The results for three and nine-months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021, or for any other future annual or interim period.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses, contingent assets, and contingent liabilities as at the end of, or during, the reporting period. Actual results could significantly differ from those estimates. Significant areas requiring management to make estimates include the fair value of the milestone payment liability, the valuation of equity instruments issued for services, and clinical trial accruals. Further details of the nature of these assumptions and conditions may be found in the relevant notes to these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Loss per share
Income or loss per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. For the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 diluted loss per share does not differ from basic loss per share since the effect of the Company’s warrants, stock options, and convertible preferred shares is anti-dilutive. As of March 31, 2021, potential common shares of 8,226 (2020 – 10,209 ) related to outstanding common share warrants, 2,104 (2020 – nil) related to outstanding Series C preferred stock warrants, 6,453 (2020 – 779 ) related to stock options, 150 (2020 – 162 ) relating to outstanding Series B convertible preferred shares, and 17,997 (2020 – nil) relating to outstanding Series C convertible preferred shares were excluded from the calculation of net loss per common share.
8
Acquired in-process research and development expense
The Company acquired in-process research and development assets in connection with its Merger with Adgero. As the acquired in-process research and development assets were deemed to have no current or alternative future use, an expense of $ 16,094 was recognized in the condensed consolidated interim statements of operations for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2021.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of three years . Depreciation expense is recognized from the date the equipment is put into use.
Recent accounting pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date.
Not yet adopted
Accounting Standards Update (“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
The amendments in this update are intended to simplify the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The ASU is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative, which aims to reduce unnecessary complexity in U.S. GAAP. For public business entities that are not smaller reporting companies, the ASU’s amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the effective date is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The guidance may be early adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has not yet evaluated the impact of adoption of this ASU on its condensed consolidated interim financial statements and related disclosures.
ASU 2020-10 — Codification Improvements
The amendments in this update remove references to various FASB Concepts Statements, situates all disclosure guidance in the appropriate disclosure section of the Codification, and makes other improvements and technical corrections to the Codification. The amendments in Sections B and C of this amendment are effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2020, for public business entities.

Merger
As described in note 1, on August 19, 2020, the Company completed its Merger with Adgero in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. To determine the accounting for this transaction under ASU 2017-01, an assessment was made as to whether an integrated set of assets and activities should be accounted for as an acquisition of a business or an asset acquisition. The guidance requires an initial screen test to determine if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset or group of similar assets. If that screen is met, the set is not a business. In connection with the Merger, substantially all of the fair value is concentrated in in-process research and development (“IPR&D”). As such, the Merger has been treated as an acquisition of Adgero assets and an assumption of Adgero liabilities.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon closing of the Merger, the Company issued 11,439 shares of Company common stock and 2,315 stock purchase warrants to the security holders of Adgero (“Adgero Warrants”). The Adgero Warrants are exercisable at $ 3.18 per share (note 8). The Adgero Warrants were valued using a Black-Scholes valuation with a weighted-average risk-free interest rate of 0.21 %, a term of one year , a volatility of 115.96 %, and a dividend rate of 0 %. The estimated volatility of the Company’s common stock at the date of measurement is based on the historical volatility of the Company. The risk-free interest rate is based on rates published by the government for bonds with a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the instrument at the valuation date. The expected term has been estimated using the remaining life of the warrant. Also, in conjunction with the Merger, the Company issued 572 shares of common stock to the placement agent as a success fee. The shares of common stock issued to the former Adgero stockholders as well as the success fee shares, have been valued at $ 1.34 per share which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock on August 19, 2020, the date the Merger closed.
The Company incurred approximately $ 1,553 of legal, consulting and other professional fees related to the Merger, of which approximately $ 1,054 had been incurred in the year ended June 30, 2020. The transaction costs applicable to the current period have been classified as merger expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2021.

The milestone payment liability relates to an asset purchase agreement with St. Cloud Investments, LLC (“St. Cloud”) that Adgero has regarding the acquisition of REM-001. The Agreement, as amended, is dated November 26, 2012 ( the “St. Cloud Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the St. Cloud Agreement, the Company is obligated to make certain payments under the agreement. The future contingent amounts payable under that agreement are as follows:
•
Upon the earlier of (i) a subsequent equity financing to take place after the Company conducts a Phase 2B clinical study in which fifty patients complete the study and their clinical data can be evaluated or (ii) the commencement of a clinical study intended to be used as a definitive study for market approval in any country, the Company is obligated to pay an aggregate amount of $ 300 in cash or an equivalent amount of common stock, with $ 240 to St. Cloud and $ 60 to an employee of the Company; and
•
Upon receipt of regulatory approval of REM-001 Therapy, the Company is obligated to pay an aggregate amount of $ 700 in cash or an equivalent amount of common stock, with $ 560 to St. Cloud and $ 140 to an employee of the Company.
With respect to the $300 and $700 potential milestone payments referenced above (each a “Milestone Payment”), if either such Milestone Payment becomes payable, and in the event the Company elects to pay either such Milestone Payment in shares of its common stock, the value of the common stock will equal the average of the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock over the twenty (20) trading days following the first public announcement of the applicable event described above.
The milestone payment liability has been determined using the discounted cash flow value of the two respective milestone payments. A discount rate of 70 % has been used which accounts for the probability of success given the phase of clinical development of REM-001. The term is based on an estimate of the planned timing of completion of the respective milestones that would result in payment of the milestones. As of March 31, 2021, the Company reviewed its estimates with respect to the planned timing of completion of the respective milestones and adjusted the liability accordingly.

Under the agreement, the Company will supply the drug for the study and the CRO will manage all operational aspects of the study including site activation and patient enrollment. The Company is required to make certain payments under the agreement related to patient enrollment milestones. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, the Company has recognized $ 1,708 and $ 2,958 , respectively, of expenses for this study in relation to study startup and preparation for patient enrollment.
In relation to this study, the Company has made a deposit payment of $ 2,600 to the CRO in relation to the commencement of recruitment of patients. It is anticipated that the deposit will be applied to future invoices, or refunded to the Company, of which $ 500 is anticipated to be applied in the near term and $ 2,100 beyond twelve months from March 31, 2021. The Company can terminate the study at any time. Upon termination, the Company will be liable for any payments due to the effective date of the termination as well as any non-refundable costs incurred by the CRO prior to the date of termination.

In connection with the Merger (note 3), the Company issued 25,028 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”) in three separate closings of a private placement (Series C-1, C-2, and C-3) in August, 2020. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock was issued at a purchase price of $ 1,000 per share and is convertible into shares of common stock based on the respective conversion prices which were determined at the closing of each round of the private placement. Subject to ownership limitations, the owners of the Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends, payable in shares of common stock at a rate of 10 %, 15 %, 20 % and 25 % of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, on the 12 th , 24 th , 36 th and 48 th month, anniversary of the initial closing of the private placement which occurred on August 19, 2020. The Series C Preferred Stock dividends do not require declaration by the Board of Directors and are accrued annually as of the date the dividend is earned in an amount equal to the applicable rate of the stated value. Any outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock will automatically convert to shares of common stock on August 19, 2024.
The conversion prices for the Series C-1 Preferred Stock, Series C-2 Preferred Stock and Series C-3 Preferred Stock are $ 1.16 , $ 1.214 and $ 1.15 , respectively. Based on the conversion prices of the three respective classes of the Series C Preferred Stock, the originally issued 25,028 shares of Series C Preferred Stock were convertible into an aggregate of 21,516 shares of common stock. The cumulative dividends to be issued on the 12 th , 24 th , 36 th and 48 th month anniversary of the initial closing of the private placement for the initially issued 25,028 shares of Series C Preferred Stock were 15,062 shares of common stock.
The conversion feature of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock at the time of issuance was determined to be beneficial on the commitment date. Because the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock was perpetual with no stated maturity date, and the conversions could occur any time from inception, the Company immediately recorded a non-cash deemed dividend of $ 3,181 related to the beneficial conversion feature arising from the issuance of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. This non-cash deemed dividend increased the Company’s net loss attributable to common stockholders and net loss per share.
The Series C Preferred Stock shall with respect to distributions of assets and rights upon the occurrence of a liquidation, rank (i) senior to the Company’s common stock and (ii) senior to any other class or series of capital stock of the Company hereafter created which does not expressly rank pari passu with, or senior to, the Series C Preferred Stock. The Series C Preferred Stock shall be pari passu in liquidation to the Company’s Series A and Series B Preferred Stock. The liquidation value of the Series C Preferred Stock at March 31, 2021 is the stated value of $ 20,903 .
Total gross proceeds from the private placement were $ 25,000 , or approximately $ 21,598 in net proceeds after deducting financing costs of $ 3,402 with respect to agent commissions and expenses, as well as legal and accounting fees. Of the total financing costs, $ 85 was deferred as of June 30, 2020. In addition, the Company issued warrants to purchase 2,504 shares of Series C Stock to the placement agent (“Series C Agent Warrants”) that are convertible into an aggregate 2,153 shares of common stock.
A total of 20,903 (June 30, 2020 – nil) shares of Series C Preferred Stock are outstanding as of March 31, 2021, such that a total of 17,997 (June 30, 2020 – nil) shares of common stock are issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock as of March 31, 2021. Converted shares are rounded up to the nearest whole share.

The Series B Preferred Stock does not contain any repricing features. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock entitles its holder to vote with the common stock on an as-converted basis.
The Series B Preferred Stock shall with respect to distributions of assets and rights upon the occurrence of a liquidation, rank (i) senior to the Company’s common stock and (ii) senior to any other class or series of capital stock of the Company hereafter created which does not expressly rank pari passu with, or senior to, the Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock shall be pari passu in liquidation to the Company’s Series A and Series C Preferred Stock. The liquidation value of the Series B Preferred Stock at March 31, 2021 is the stated value of $ 4,808 (June 30, 2020 - $ 5,192 ).

Upon conversion of a holder’s Series B Preferred Stock to common stock, such holder shall no longer receive ongoing royalty payments under the Royalty Agreement but will be entitled to receive any residual royalty payments that have vested. Rights to the royalties shall vest during the first three years following the applicable closing date, in equal thirds to holders of the Series B Preferred Stock on each of the three vesting dates, upon which vesting dates such royalty amounts shall become vested royalties.
Pursuant to the Series B Preferred Stock dividend, during the three-months ended March 31, 2021, the Company issued 3 (2020 – 4 ) shares of common stock and recognized $ 6 (2020 – $ 1 ) and during the nine-months ended March 31, 2021, the Company issued 10 (2020 – 12 ) shares of common stock and recognized $ 15 (2020 – $ 6 ). These dividends have been recognized as a direct increase in accumulated deficit.
A total of 601 (June 30, 2020 – 649 ) shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding as of March 31, 2021, such that a total of 150 (June 30, 2020 – 162 ) shares of common stock are issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock as of March 31, 2021.

Financial instruments
The Company has financial instruments that are measured at fair value. To determine the fair value, the Company uses the fair value hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use to value an asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs based on assumptions about the factors market participants would use to value an asset or liability. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:
•
Level one - inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
•
Level two - inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals; and
•
Level three - unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.
Assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain securities within the fair value hierarchy. As at March 31, 2021, the Company’s milestone payment liability was measured using level 3 inputs (note 3).

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, accounts payable and related party payables approximate their fair values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of the loan payable is equal to its principal and accrued interest of $ 523 as of March 31, 2021.
