NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2021
Note 1: Incorporation and Nature of Operations
Oncolytics Biotech Inc. was incorporated on April 2, 1998 under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) as 779738 Alberta Ltd. On April 8, 1998, we changed our name to Oncolytics Biotech Inc.
Our interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2021, were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors (the "Board") on May 6, 2021. We are a limited company incorporated and domiciled in Canada. Our shares are publicly traded on the Nasdaq Capital Markets and the Toronto Stock Exchange. Our principal place of business is located at 210, 1167 Kensington Crescent NW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
We are a development stage biopharmaceutical company that focuses on the discovery and development of pharmaceutical products for the treatment of cancers that have not been successfully treated with conventional therapeutics. Our lead product, pelareorep, is a potential immuno-oncology viral-agent that may be a novel treatment for certain types of cancer and may be an alternative to or used in combination with existing cytotoxic or cytostatic therapies. Our clinical development program for pelareorep centers on key immunotherapy combinations. Specifically, immunotherapy combinations in which pelareorep has the potential to provoke specific innate and adaptive immune responses when combined with checkpoint blockade therapy, chemotherapy and/or targeted therapies.
The full extent to which the coronavirus infectious disease 2019 ("COVID-19") pandemic may directly or indirectly impact our business, results of operations and financial condition, including our ability to finance our operations, expenses, clinical trials, and research and development costs, will depend on future developments that are evolving and highly uncertain, such as the duration and severity of outbreaks, including potential future waves or cycles, and the effectiveness of actions taken to contain and treat COVID-19. We considered the potential impact of COVID-19 when making certain estimates and judgments relating to the preparation of these interim consolidated financial statements. While there was no material impact to our interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended March 31, 2021, our future assessment of the magnitude and duration of COVID-19, as well as other factors, could result in a material impact to our consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.
Note 2: Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
Our interim consolidated financial statements include our financial statements and the financial statements of our subsidiaries as at March 31, 2021 and are presented in Canadian dollars, our functional currency.
Our accounts are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). The accounts are prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value as explained in the notes to these financial statements.
These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The notes presented in these interim consolidated financial statements include only significant events and transactions occurring since our last fiscal year end and are not fully inclusive of all matters required to be disclosed in our annual audited consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our most recent annual audited consolidated financial statements, for the year ended December 31, 2020. We have consistently applied the same accounting policies for all periods presented in these interim consolidated financial statements as those used in our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Note 3: Cash Equivalents
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of interest bearing deposits with our bank totaling $48,306,314 (December 31, 2020 – $30,361,591). The current annual interest rate earned on these deposits is 0.32% (December 31, 2020 – 0.36%).

Note 4: Warrant Derivative
On August 16, 2019, pursuant to an underwritten public offering, 4,619,773 units were sold at a purchase price of US$0.81 per unit for gross proceeds of US$3,742,016. Each unit included one common share and one common share purchase warrant (see Note 5). Each common share purchase warrant entitled the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of US$0.90 until August 16, 2024.
Under IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation, warrants with an exercise price denominated in a currency that differs from an entity's functional currency are treated as a derivative measured at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value accounted for through profit and loss. Our warrants with an exercise price of US$0.90 meet this requirement and we have presented the fair value of these warrants as a current liability on the consolidated statement of financial position. As these warrants are exercised, the fair value at the date of exercise and the associated non-cash liability will be included in our share capital along with the proceeds from the exercise. If these warrants expire, the non-cash warrant liability is reversed through the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. There is no cash flow impact as a result of the accounting treatment for changes in the fair value of the warrant derivative or when warrants expire unexercised.
A reconciliation of the change in fair value of the warrant derivative is as follows:
Number of Warrants Outstanding | Fair Value of Warrant Derivative $ | |||||||
As at December 31, 2019 | 1,684,126 | 8,508,764 | ||||||
Exercised | (1,418,369) | (4,636,317) | ||||||
Change in fair value | — | (3,491,928) | ||||||

Foreign exchange impact | — | (2,792) | ||||||
As at March 31, 2021 | 64,035 | 237,546 |
During the period ending March 31, 2021, we received cash proceeds of US$181,550 (March 31, 2020 - US$1,084,669) with respect to warrants exercised.
We use the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate fair value. The expected volatility is based on the Company's common share historical volatility less an estimated market participant risk adjustment. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Department of Treasury benchmark treasury yield rates with an approximate equivalent remaining term in effect at the time of valuation and the expected life represents the estimated length of time the warrants are expected to remain outstanding.
The estimated fair value of the warrant derivative was determined using the following assumptions:
March 31, 2021 | December 31, 2020 | |||||||
Fair value per warrant | US$2.95 | US$1.57 | ||||||
Underlying share price | US$3.81 | US$2.38 | ||||||
Risk-free interest rate | 0.07% | 0.10% | ||||||
Expected hold period to exercise | 1.0 year | 1.0 year | ||||||
Expected share price volatility | 90.00% | 90.00% | ||||||

We use the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate fair value. We use historical data to estimate the expected dividend yield and expected volatility of our stock in determining the fair value of the stock options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the Government of Canada benchmark bond yield rates in effect at the time of grant and the expected life of the options represents the estimated length of time the options are expected to remain outstanding.
The estimated fair value of stock options granted during the period was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model using the following weighted average assumptions:
2021 | 2020 | |||||||
Risk-free interest rate | 0.49% | 1.63% | ||||||
Expected hold period to exercise | 3.0 years | 3.0 years | ||||||

Under a clinical trial agreement entered into with the Alberta Cancer Board (“ACB”), we have agreed to repay the amount funded under the agreement together with a royalty, to a combined maximum amount of $400,000 plus an overhead repayment of $100,000, upon sales of a specified product. We agreed to repay the ACB in annual installments in an amount equal to the lesser of: (a) 5% of gross sales of a specified product; or (b) $100,000 per annum once sales of a specified product commence.
Leases
Our portfolio of leases consists of office spaces with initial lease terms generally between 3 to 5 years. We currently do not have leases with variable lease payments or residual value guarantees.
During the first quarter of 2021, we extended the office lease for one of our subsidiaries for which we recorded an adjustment of $323,782 to the lease liability and right-of-use asset. The incremental borrowing rate applied was 15%. We also entered into a new office space lease for our Canadian head office, which will commence in the second quarter of 2021. The future undiscounted cash outflows related to this lease is approximately $320,000.
Our total undiscounted lease liability as at March 31, 2021 is as follows:

Note 10: Capital Disclosures
Our objective when managing capital is to maintain a strong statement of financial position. We achieve our objective by obtaining adequate cash resources to support planned activities which include the clinical trial program, product manufacturing, administrative costs and intellectual property expansion and protection. We include shareholders’ equity and cash and cash equivalents in the definition of capital.
March 31, 2021 $ | December 31, 2020 $ | |||||||
Cash and cash equivalents | 50,362,162 | 31,219,574 | ||||||
Shareholders’ equity | 44,669,640 | 24,752,993 |
We do not have any debt other than trade accounts payable and lease liabilities, and we have potential contingent obligations relating to the completion of our research and development of pelareorep.
In managing our capital, we estimate our future cash requirements by preparing a budget and a multi-year plan annually for review and approval by our Board. The budget establishes the approved activities for the upcoming year and estimates the costs associated with these activities. The multi-year plan estimates future activity along with the potential cash requirements and is based on our assessment of our current clinical trial progress along with the expected results from the coming year’s activity. Budget to actual variances are prepared and reviewed by management and are presented quarterly to the Board.
Historically, funding for our plan is primarily managed through the issuance of additional common shares and common share purchase warrants that upon exercise are converted to common shares. Management regularly monitors the capital markets attempting to balance the timing of issuing additional equity with our progress through our clinical trial program, general market conditions, and the availability of capital. There are no assurances that funds will be made available to us when required.

On June 12, 2020, we renewed our short form base shelf prospectus (the "Base Shelf") that qualifies for distribution of up to $150,000,000 of common shares, subscription receipts, warrants, or units (the "Securities") in either Canada, the US or both. Under a Base Shelf, we may sell Securities to or through underwriters, dealers, placement agents or other intermediaries and also may sell Securities directly to purchasers or through agents, subject to obtaining any applicable exemption from registration requirements. The distribution of Securities may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be subject to change, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, or at prices related to such prevailing market prices to be negotiated with purchasers and as set forth in an accompanying Prospectus Supplement.
Renewing our Base Shelf provides us with additional flexibility when managing our cash resources as, under certain circumstances, it shortens the time period required to close a financing and is expected to increase the number of potential investors that may be prepared to invest in our company. Funds received as a result of using our Base Shelf would be used in line with our Board approved budget and multi-year plan. Our renewed Base Shelf will be effective until July 12, 2022.
Our Base Shelf allowed us to enter into our ATM equity distribution agreements in June 2020 and March 2021 (see Note 5). We use these equity arrangements to assist us in achieving our capital objective. These arrangements provide us with the opportunity to raise capital at our sole discretion providing us with the ability to better manage our cash resources.
We are not subject to externally imposed capital requirements and there have been no changes in how we define or manage our capital in 2021.
Note 11: Financial Instruments
Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, other liabilities, accounts payable and warrant derivative. As at March 31, 2021, the carrying amount of our cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, other liabilities and accounts payable approximated their fair value. The warrant derivative is a recurring Level 2 fair value measurement as these warrants have not been listed on an exchange and therefore do not trade on an active market. As at March 31, 2021, the fair value of our warrant derivative was $237,546 (December 31, 2020 - $531,228).
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. We are exposed to credit risk on our cash and cash equivalents in the event of non-performance by counterparties, but we do not anticipate such non-performance. Our maximum exposure to credit risk at the end of the period is the carrying value of our cash and cash equivalents and other receivables.
We mitigate our exposure to credit risk by maintaining our primary operating and investment bank accounts with Schedule I banks in Canada. For our foreign domiciled bank accounts, we use referrals or recommendations from our Canadian banks to open foreign bank accounts and these accounts are used solely for the purpose of settling accounts payable or payroll.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. We are exposed to interest rate risk through our cash and cash equivalents. We mitigate this risk through our investment policy that only allows investment of excess cash resources in investment grade vehicles while matching maturities with our operational requirements.
Fluctuations in market rates of interest do not have a significant impact on our results of operations due to the short term to maturity of the investments held.
Foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risk arises from changes in foreign exchange rates that may affect the fair value or future cash flows of our financial assets or liabilities. We are primarily exposed to the risk of changes in the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar, British pound and Euro as a portion of our financial assets and liabilities are denominated in such currencies. The impact of a $0.01 increase in the value of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar would have decreased our net comprehensive loss in 2021 by approximately $370,000. The impact of a $0.10 increase in the value of the British pound against the Canadian dollar

would have decreased our net comprehensive loss in 2021 by approximately $1,300. The impact of a $0.10 increase in the value of the Euro against the Canadian dollar would have decreased our net comprehensive loss in 2021 by approximately $15,000.
We mitigate our foreign exchange risk by maintaining sufficient foreign currencies, through the purchase of foreign currencies or receiving foreign currencies from financing activities, to settle our foreign accounts payable.
Balances in foreign currencies at March 31, 2021 are as follows:
US dollars $ | British pounds £ | Euro € | |||||||||

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that we will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. We manage liquidity risk through the management of our capital structure as outlined in Note 10. Accounts payable are all due within the current operating period.
