APTOSE BIOSCIENCES INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Three and six months ended June 30, 2016

(Tabular amounts are in 000s)

 

1. Reporting Entity

 

Aptose Biosciences Inc. ("Aptose" or the "Company") is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing personalized therapies to address unmet medical needs in oncology, with a particular focus on hematologic malignancies. Aptose is a publicly listed company incorporated under the laws of Canada. The Company's shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Markets and the Toronto Stock Exchange. The head office, principal address and records of the Company are located at 5955 Airport Road, Suite 228, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, L4V 1R9.

 

2. Basis of presentation

 

(a) Statement of Compliance

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company as at June 30, 2016 were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company were reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on August 9, 2016.

 

(b) Functional and presentation currency

The functional and presentation currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar (“$”).

 

(c) Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include estimates, which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

 

The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty as of the date of the statement of financial position that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next fiscal year arise in connection with the valuation of contingent liabilities and valuation of tax accounts. Significant estimates also take place in connection with the valuation of share-based compensation, share purchase warrants and finders’ warrants.

 

3. Significant accounting policies

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS and follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2015. They do not include all of the information and disclosures required by IFRS for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2016. For further information, see the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements including notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

Standards and Interpretations Adopted in Fiscal 2016

Adoption of Amendments to IAS 1

 

Effective January 1, 2016, the Company adopted the amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements issued by the IASB in December 2014. The impact of adoption of these amendments did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

4. Capital disclosures

 

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to:

 

·Maintain its ability to continue as a going concern;

 

·Maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the cost of capital at acceptable risk; and

 

·Ensure sufficient cash resources to fund its research and development activity, to pursue partnership and collaboration opportunities and to maintain ongoing operations.

 

The capital structure of the Company consists of cash and cash equivalents, investments and equity comprised of share capital, share purchase warrants, stock options, contributed surplus and deficit. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of economic conditions. The Company, upon approval from its Board of Directors, will balance its overall capital structure through new share issuances, acquiring or disposing of assets, adjusting the amount of cash balances or by undertaking other activities as deemed appropriate under the specific circumstances.

 

In December 2014, Aptose filed a short form base shelf prospectus (the “Base Shelf”) that qualifies for the distribution of up to US$100,000,000 of common shares, warrants, or units comprising any combination of common shares and warrants (“Securities”). 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 changed, 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, including transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market” distributions. The 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 from a Prospectus Supplement will be used in line with our Board approved budget and multi-year plan. Our Base Shelf expires in December, 2017. The Base Shelf allowed us to enter into an “At-The-Market” Facility (“ATM”) equity distribution agreement with Cowen and Company, LLC, acting as sole agent. Under the terms of this facility, we may, from time to time, sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering value of up to US$20 million through Cowen and Company, LLC on the Nasdaq Capital Market. We determine, at our sole discretion, the timing and number of shares to be sold under this ATM facility (see note 6). We intend to use this equity arrangement as an additional option to assist us in achieving our capital objectives. The ATM provides the Company with the opportunity to regularly raise capital on the Nasdaq Capital Market, at prevailing market prices, at its sole discretion providing the ability to better manage cash resources.

 

The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

 

The Company’s overall strategy with respect to capital risk management remains unchanged from the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

(a) Cash and cash equivalents:

 

Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash of $3.1 million (December 31, 2015 - $761 thousand) and funds deposited into high interest savings accounts totalling $9.5 million (December 31, 2015 - $10.7 million). The current interest rate earned on these deposits is 0.2%-0.75% (December 31, 2015 – 0.2-0.75%).

 

(b) Investments:

 

As at June 30, 2016 there were no investments outstanding. At December 31, 2015, investments consisted of guaranteed investment certificates with Canadian financial institutions having high credit ratings including six investments with maturity dates from April 22, 2016 to June 19, 2016, bearing interest rates from 1.80% to 2.10% per annum.

5. Financial instruments

 

(a) Financial instruments

 

The Company has classified its financial instruments as follows:

 

    As at    As at 
    June 30, 2016    December 31, 2015 
           
Financial assets          
Cash and cash equivalents (consisting of high interest savings accounts), measured at amortized cost  $12,591   $11,503 
Investments, consisting of guaranteed investment certificates, measured at amortized cost   -    8,245 
           
Financial liabilities          
Accounts payable, measured at amortized cost   110    522 
           
Accrued liabilities, measured at amortized cost   1,691    1,834 
           

 

At June 30, 2016, there are no significant differences between the carrying values of these amounts and their estimated market values.

 

(b) Financial risk management

 

The Company has exposure to credit risk, liquidity risk, foreign currency risk and market risk. The Company's Board of Directors has the overall responsibility for the oversight of these risks and reviews the Company's policies on an ongoing basis to ensure that these risks are appropriately managed.

 

(i) Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer, partner or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company's cash and cash equivalents. The carrying amount of the financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.

 

The Company manages credit risk for its cash and cash equivalents and investments by maintaining minimum standards of R1-low or A-low investments and the Company invests only in highly rated Canadian corporations with debt securities that are traded on active markets and are capable of prompt liquidation.

 

(ii) Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. To the extent that the Company does not believe it has sufficient liquidity to meet its current obligations, the Board considers securing additional funds through equity or debt transactions. The Company manages its liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecasts and actual cash flows. All of the Company’s financial liabilities are due within the current operating period.

 

(iii) Market risk

 

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity prices will affect the Company's income or the value of its financial instruments.

 

The Company is subject to interest rate risk on its cash and cash equivalents and investments. The Company does not believe that the results of operations or cash flows would be affected to any significant degree by a sudden change in market interest rates relative to interest rates on the investments, owing to the relative short-term nature of the investments. The Company does not have any material interest bearing liabilities subject to interest rate fluctuations.

Currency risk is the risk that future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. Aptose is exposed to currency risk from employee costs as well as the purchase of goods and services primarily in the United States and the cash balances held in foreign currencies. Fluctuations in the US dollar exchange rate could potentially have a significant impact on the Company’s results. Assuming all other variables remain constant, a 10% depreciation or appreciation of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar would result in an increase or decrease in loss for the year and comprehensive loss of $402 thousand (December 31, 2015- $576 thousand). Balances in foreign currencies at June 30, 2016 are as follows:

 

    U.S.$ balances at    U.S $ balances at 
    June 30, 2016    December 31, 2015 
Cash and cash equivalents  $4,069   $5,000 
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities   (955)   (838)
   $3,114   $4,162 

 

The Company does not have any forward exchange contracts to hedge this risk.

 

The Company does not invest in equity instruments of other corporations.

(a)At The Market Facility (“ATM”)

 

On April 2, 2015, Aptose entered into an ATM equity facility with Cowan and Company, LLC, acting as sole agent. Under the terms of this facility, Aptose may, from time to time, sell shares of common stock having an aggregate offering value of up to US$20 million through Cowan and Company, LLC. The Company determines, at its sole discretion, the timing and number of shares to be sold under this ATM facility.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company issued 641,734 common shares through the ATM raising gross proceeds of USD$1.8 million. Costs associated with the proceeds included a 3% cash commission as well as legal and accounting fees. The net proceeds raised during the quarter totaled USD$1.7 million or $2.2 million.

 

(b)Exercise of Warrants

 

There were no warrants exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Total   70   $287 

 

In addition to the cash proceeds received, the original fair value related to these warrants of $140 thousand was transferred from warrants to share capital. This resulted in a total amount of $427 thousand credited to share capital.

(d) Loss per share

 

Loss per common share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2016 calculated as follows:

 

    Three months ended    Six months ended 
    June 30,    June 30,    June 30,    June 30, 
    2016    2015    2016    2015

Effect of ATM issuances   183        92     
Effect of warrant and option exercises       42        120 
Effect of promissory note conversions               32 
    12,231    11,909    12,140    11,852 

 

The effect of any potential exercise of our stock options and warrants outstanding during the year has been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per common share as it would be anti-dilutive.

 

(e) Convertible promissory notes

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, $150 thousand promissory notes due in September 2015 incurring interest at a rate of 10% and with a carrying value of $140 thousand were converted into 42 thousand common shares of the Company. All of the promissory notes were converted prior to September 30, 2015.
