Kintara Therapeutics, Inc.
Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
(expressed in US dollars unless otherwise noted)

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Kintara Therapeutics, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Kintara Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1, the Company has incurred significant losses and needs to raise additional funds to meet its obligations and sustain its operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Accruals for Research and Development Expenses and Clinical Trials
Description of the Matter
As discussed in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company records accruals for research and development expenses and clinical trials based upon estimates of costs incurred through the balance sheet date that have yet to be invoiced by the contract research organizations (“CRO”) and other third-party vendors.
70
The Company accounts for these expenses according to the progress of the trial as measured by patient progression and the timing of various aspects of the trial. Estimated accruals are determined based on reviewing contractual terms and through communications with internal clinical personnel and external service providers including CRO’s as to the progress or state of its trials. The principal consideration for our determination that performing procedures related to the clinical trial expenses, specifically related to the year-end accrual for clinical trial costs, is a critical audit matter is that there was judgment by management in determining the progress of the activities included in the individual clinical trial agreements based on internal and external information.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
To evaluate the accruals for research and development expenses and clinical trials, our audit procedures included, among others, testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used in the estimates and evaluating the significant assumptions including, but not limited, by obtaining an understanding of the Company’s estimation process, corroborating the progress of clinical trials with the Company’s clinical team, and obtaining confirmations directly from third parties.

Nature of operations, corporate history, and going concern and management plans
Nature of operations
Kintara Therapeutics, 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.
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”).
On August 19, 2020, the Company completed its merger with Adgero Biopharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc. (“Adgero”) (note 3). In conjunction with the Adgero merger, the Company changed its name from DelMar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to Kintara Therapeutics, Inc.
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 Adgero merger, the Company also became the parent company of Adgero Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Adgero Inc.”), 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 consolidated 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 year ended June 30, 2021, the Company reported a loss of $ 38,298 and a negative cash flow from operations of $ 18,860 . The Company had an accumulated deficit of $ 111,225 and had cash and cash equivalents of $ 10,537 as of June 30, 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. Despite the receipt of approximately $ 13.6 million in net proceeds from a registered direct financing subsequent to June 30, 2021, 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 consolidated financial statements.
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 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 candidates
76
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.
2
Significant accounting policies
Basis of presentation
The consolidated 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 principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below and have been consistently applied to all years presented.
Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform with the current year’s presentation.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Adgero, Adgero Inc., Del Mar BC, Callco, and Exchangeco as of, and for the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
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, clinical trial accruals, deferred tax valuation allowance and assessment of going concern. Further details of the nature of these assumptions and conditions may be found in the relevant notes to these consolidated financial statements.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities from the purchase date of three months or less that can be readily convertible into known amounts of cash. Cash and cash equivalents are held at recognized Canadian and United States financial institutions. Interest earned is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.
Foreign currency translation
The functional currency of the Company at June 30, 2021 is the United States dollar. Transactions that are denominated in a foreign currency are remeasured into the functional currency at the current exchange rate on the date of the transaction. Any foreign-currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are subsequently remeasured at current exchange rates, with gains or losses recognized as foreign exchange losses or gains in the consolidated statement of operations. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical exchange rates. Expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the period. Exchange gains and losses are included in consolidated statement of operations for the period.
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 consolidated statements of operations for the year ended June 30, 2021.
77
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.
Income taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. To the extent that deferred tax assets cannot be recognized under the preceding criteria, the Company establishes valuation allowances, as necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.
As of June 30, 2021, and 2020, all deferred tax assets were fully offset by a valuation allowance. The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future federal, state and foreign taxable income. The Company’s judgments regarding deferred tax assets may change due to future market conditions, as the Company expands into international jurisdictions, due to changes in U.S. or international tax laws and other factors.
These changes, if any, may require material adjustments to the Company’s deferred tax assets, resulting in a reduction in net income or an increase in net loss in the period in which such determinations are made. The Company recognizes the impact of uncertain tax positions based upon a two-step process. To the extent that a tax position does not meet a more-likely-than-not level of certainty, no impact is recognized in the consolidated financial statements. If a tax position meets the more-likely-than-not level of certainty, it is recognized in the consolidated financial statements at the largest amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company’s policy is to analyze the Company’s tax positions taken with respect to all applicable income tax issues for all open tax years in each respective jurisdiction. Interest and penalties with respect to uncertain tax positions would be included in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2021, the Company concluded that there were no uncertain tax provisions required to be recognized in its consolidated financial statements.
The Company does not record U.S. income taxes on the undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries based upon the Company’s intention to permanently reinvest undistributed earnings to ensure sufficient working capital and further expansion of existing operations outside the United States. As June 30, 2021, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries operated at a cumulative deficit for U.S. earnings and profit purposes. In the event the Company is required to repatriate funds from outside of the United States, such repatriation would be subject to local laws, customs, and tax consequences. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability related to these earnings is not practicable.
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 of June 30, 2021, the Company’s milestone payment liability was measured using level 3 inputs (note 3).
78
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, accounts payable, and related party payables. 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.
Intangible assets
Website development costs
Website development costs are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. The Company capitalizes website development costs associated with graphics design and development of the website application and infrastructure. Costs related to planning, content input, and website operations are expensed as incurred. The Company amortizes website development costs on a straight-line basis over three years .
Patents
Expenditures associated with the filing, or maintenance of patents, licensing or technology agreements are expensed as incurred. Costs previously recognized as an expense are not recognized as an asset in subsequent periods. Once the Company has achieved regulatory approval patent costs will be deferred and amortized over the remaining life of the related patent.
Accruals for research and development expenses and clinical trials
As part of the process of preparing its financial statements, the Company is required to estimate its expenses resulting from its obligations under contracts with vendors, clinical research organizations and consultants, and under clinical site agreements in connection with conducting clinical trials. The financial terms of these contracts are subject to negotiations, which vary from contract to contract and may result in payment terms that do not match the periods over which materials or services are provided under such contracts. The Company’s objective is to reflect the appropriate expenses in its financial statements by matching those expenses with the period in which services are performed and efforts are expended. The Company accounts for these expenses according to the timing of various aspects of the expenses. The Company determines accrual estimates by taking into account discussion with applicable personnel and outside service providers as to the progress of clinical trials, or the services completed. During the course of a clinical trial, the Company adjusts its clinical expense recognition if actual results differ from its estimates. The Company makes estimates of its accrued expenses as of each balance sheet date based on the facts and circumstances known to it at that time. The Company’s clinical trial accruals are dependent upon the timely and accurate reporting of contract research organizations and other third-party vendors. Although the Company does not expect its estimates to be materially different from amounts actually incurred, its understanding of the status and timing of services performed relative to the actual status and timing of services performed may vary and may result in it reporting amounts that are too high or too low for any particular period. For the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, there were no material adjustments to the Company’s prior period estimates of accrued expenses for clinical trials.
Warrants and shares issued for services
The Company has issued equity instruments for services provided by employees and non-employees. The equity instruments are valued at the fair value of the instrument issued.
Stock options
The Company recognizes compensation costs resulting from the issuance of stock-based awards to employees, non-employees and directors as an expense in the statement of operations over the service period based on a measurement of fair value for each stock-based award. Prior to our adoption of ASU 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”), stock options granted to non-employee consultants were revalued at the end of each reporting period until vested using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the changes in their fair value were recorded as adjustments to expense over the related vesting period. For the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the determination of grant-date fair value for stock option awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes model, which includes variables such as the expected volatility of our share price, the anticipated exercise behavior of its grantee, interest rates, and dividend yields. For years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company utilized the plain vanilla method to determine the expected life of stock options. These variables are projected based on our historical data, experience, and other factors. Changes in any of these variables could result in material adjustments to the expense recognized for share-based payments. Such value is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, net of actual forfeitures, using the accelerated attribution method. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur. The estimation of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results, or updated estimates, differ from current estimates, such amounts are recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised.

Loss per share
Income or loss per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. For the years ended June 30, 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, performance stock units, and convertible preferred shares is anti-dilutive. As of June 30, 2021, potential common shares of 6,974 (2020 – 10,309 ) related to outstanding common stock warrants, 2,100 (2020 – nil) related to outstanding Series C preferred stock warrants, 6,392 (2020 – 1,559 ) related to stock options, nil (2020 – 162 ) relating to outstanding Series B convertible preferred shares, and 17,295 (2020 – nil) relating to outstanding Series C convertible preferred shares were excluded from the calculation of net loss per common share.
Segment information
The Company identifies its operating segments based on business activities, management responsibility and geographical location. The Company operates within a single operating segment being the research and development of cancer indications, and operates primarily in one geographic area, being North America. The Company previously conducted one clinical trial in China but the expenses incurred over the course of the study were not significant. All of the Company’s assets are located in either Canada or the United States.

The amendments in this update are intended to clarify and reduce diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange and that are not within the scope of another FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments in ASU 2021-04 are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

Merger
On June 9, 2020, the Company, Adgero Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Adgero, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which upon closing the Merger Sub will merge with and into Adgero, with Adgero surviving the merger and becoming a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), (i) each outstanding share of Adgero common stock (the “Adgero Common Stock”) was converted into shares of Company common stock (the “Kintara Common Stock”) based on the exchange ratio, (ii) each outstanding warrant to purchase Adgero Common Stock was converted into a warrant exercisable for that number of shares of Kintara 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 (as defined in the Merger Agreement); and (iii) each outstanding Adgero stock option, whether vested or unvested, that had not been exercised was cancelled for no consideration. 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 separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased and Adgero continued its existence under Delaware law as the surviving corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
The Exchange Ratio in the Merger Agreement was negotiated so that the existing stockholders of Adgero would own 49.5% of the total voting shares outstanding of the Company and the existing stockholders of the Company would own 50.5% of the total voting shares outstanding of the Company immediately after the merger (less the effect of the payment of cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Kintara Common Stock). The final Exchange Ratio determined immediately prior to the Effective Time to reflect the Company’s and Adgero’s capitalization as of immediately prior to such time was 1.574.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon closing of the Merger, the Company issued 11,439 shares of Company common stock and 2,314 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.
In connection with the Merger, the Company completed a private placement of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock in three separate closings (note 8).
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 was 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.
The Company incurred approximately $ 1,554 of legal, consulting and other professional fees related to the Merger, of which approximately $ 500 was incurred in the year ended June 30, 2021 (2020 - $ 1,054 ). The transaction costs applicable to the Merger have been classified as merger expenses in the consolidated statement of operations for the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

The fair value of the IPR&D assets has been expensed as a charge in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended June 30, 2021 as there is no alternative use for these assets. Property and equipment includes office furniture that was subsequently sold and laboratory equipment that was put into use during the third quarter of the year ended June 30, 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 estimated using a scenario-based method (or “SBM”). An SBM is an income-based approach under which possible outcomes are identified, the contingent consideration payoff of each outcome is probability weighted, and then a suitable discount rate is used to arrive at the expected present value of the contingent consideration at the valuation date. The probability used in the valuation was based on published research for the probability of success of oncology companies at a similar stage of development as the Company. The discount rate was based on published rates for corporate bonds and the term was based on an estimate of the planned timing of completion of the respective development achievement that would result in payment of the respective milestones.

As part of study startup, the Company made an initial deposit payment of $ 2,600 to the CRO in relation to the commencement of the recruitment of patients. Of the $2,600 total, $ 500 was expensed during the year ended June 30, 2021 (2020 – nil). It is anticipated that the remainder of the deposit of $ 2,100 will be applied to future invoices, or refunded to the Company, of which $ 500 is anticipated to be applied in the near term and $ 1,600 beyond twelve months from June 30, 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 or non-cancellable costs incurred by the CRO prior to the date of termination.

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.

During the year ended June 30, 2016, the Company issued an aggregate of 902 shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $ 8.00 per share. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock was convertible into 0.25 shares of common stock equating to a conversion price of $ 32.00 (the “Conversion Price”) and automatically converted to common stock on April 29, 2021 . T he holders of the Series B Preferred Stock were entitled to an annual cumulative, in arrears, dividend at the rate of 9 % payable quarterly. The 9% dividend accrued quarterly commencing on the date of issue and was payable on September 30, December 31, March 31, and June 30 of each year commencing on June 30, 2016. Dividends were payable solely by delivery of shares of common stock in an amount for each holder equal to the aggregate dividend payable to such holder with respect to the shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder divided by the Conversion Price. The Series B Preferred Stock did not contain any repricing features. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock entitled its holder to vote with the common stock on an as-converted basis.
The liquidation value of the Series B Preferred Stock at June 30, 2021 was the stated value of $nil (2020 - $ 5,189 ).
In addition, in relation to the VAL-083 compound, the Company and the former holders of the Series B Preferred Stock entered into a royalty agreement pursuant to which the Company will pay the former holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, in aggregate, a single-digit royalty based on their pro rata ownership of the former Series B Preferred Stock on products sold directly by the Company or sold pursuant to a licensing or partnering arrangement (the “Royalty Agreement”). Rights to the royalties vested during the first three years following the applicable original closing dates in equal thirds to the former holders of the Series B Preferred Stock on each of the three vesting dates. Upon such vesting dates, the royalty amounts became vested royalties. If the holder converted their Series B Preferred Stock to common stock prior to a respective vesting date, such holder forfeited any royalty rights that had not vested prior to such conversion date and shall no longer receive ongoing future royalty payments under the Royalty Agreement but will be entitled to receive any residual royalty payments that have vested.
Pursuant to the Series B Preferred Stock dividend, during the year ended June 30, 2021, the Company issued 11 (2020 – 15 ) shares of common stock and recognized $ 17 (2020 – $ 9 ) as a direct increase in accumulated deficit.

The Series A Preferred Stock is held by Valent (note 6).
The Series A 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 A Preferred Stock.

The Company has no current income tax expense for the year ended June 30, 2021, as there was a taxable loss for this period. The components of the Company’s loss before income taxes for the year ended June 30, 2021 were allocated as to $ 29.0 million in the U.S. and $ 9.2 million in Canada. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had combined U.S. and Canadian net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forwards of $ 77.7 million (2020 – $ 47.8 million). The U.S. federal NOL carryforwards consist of $ 15.8 million generated before July 1, 2018, which begin expiring in 2026 , and $ 20.4 million that can be carried forward indefinitely, but are subject to the 80 % taxable income limitation. The Canadian NOL carryforwards of $ 41.5 million begin expiring in 2030 . In addition, the Company has non-refundable Canadian federal investment tax credits of $ 407 (2020 - $ 329 ) that expire between 2031 and 2040 and non-refundable British Columbia investment tax credits of $ 258 (2020 – $ 205 ) that expire between 2021 and 2030 . The Company also has Canadian scientific research and development tax incentives of $ 2.8 million (2020 – $ 2.2 million) that do not expire.
The Company files U.S. federal, U.S. state, and Canadian income tax returns with varying statues of limitations. The tax years from 2007 to 2021 remain open to examination due to the carryover of unused NOL carryforwards and tax credits. The Company currently is not under examination by any tax authority.
Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 382 and 383 places a limitation on the amount of taxable income that can be offset by NOL and credit carryforwards after a change in control (generally greater than 50 % change in ownership within a three-year period) of a loss corporation. Generally, after a change in control, a loss corporation cannot deduct NOL and credit carryforwards in excess of the IRC Section 382 and 383 limitation. The limitation in the federal and state NOL and research and development credit carryforwards reduce the deferred tax assets, which are further offset by a full valuation allowance. The limitation can result in the expiration of the NOLs and research and development credit carryforwards available. The Company has performed an IRC Section 382 and 383 analysis and determined there was an ownership change in 2013. The Company has not performed any section 382 and 383 analyses since 2013. An assessed change in ownership subsequent to 2013 could limit future use of NOL and research and development credit carryforwards. The acquisition of Adgero Biopharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc. also triggers IRC Section 382 on the pre-acquisition NOLs. An analysis for IRC Section 382 has not been performed at this time on the pre-acquisition NOLs.
The CARES Act, was enacted March 27, 2020. Among the business provision, the CARES Act provided for various payroll tax incentives, changes to net operating loss carryback and carryforward rules, business interest expense limitation increases, and bonus depreciation on qualified improvement property. Additionally, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 was signed on December 27, 2020 which provided additional COVID-19 relief provisions for businesses. The Company has evaluated the impact of both the Acts and has determined that any impact is not material to its financial statements.

Financial risk management
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company’s income or valuation of its financial instruments.
The Company is exposed to financial risk related to fluctuation of foreign exchange rates. Foreign currency risk is limited to the portion of the Company’s business transactions denominated in currencies other than the United Sates dollar, primarily general and administrative expenses incurred in Canadian dollars. The Company believes that the results of operations, financial position and cash flows would be affected by a sudden change in foreign exchange rates but would not impair or enhance its ability to pay its Canadian dollar accounts payable. The Company manages foreign exchange risk by converting its US$ to CA$ as needed. The Company maintains the majority of its cash in US$. As of June 30, 2021, Canadian dollar denominated accounts payable and accrued liabilities exposure in US$ totaled $ 59 .
a)
Foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. If foreign exchange rates were to fluctuate within +/-10% of the closing rate at year-end, the maximum exposure is $ 10 .

The Company is subject to interest rate risk on its cash and cash equivalents and believes that the results of operations, financial position and cash flows would not be significantly affected by a sudden change in market interest rates relative to the investment interest rates due to the short-term nature of the investments. As of June 30, 2021, cash and cash equivalents held by the Company were $ 10,537 . The Company’s cash balance currently earns interest at standard bank rates. If interest rates were to fluctuate within +/-10% of the closing rate at year end the impact of the Company’s interest-bearing accounts will be not be significant due to the current low market interest rates.
The only financial instruments that expose the Company to interest rate risk are its cash and cash equivalents.
