APTOSE BIOSCIENCES INC. (formerly Lorus Therapeutics Inc.)

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Four months ended September 30, 2014 and three months ended August 31, 2013 (see note 1 for change in fiscal year)

(Tabular amounts are in 000s)

 

1.Reporting Entity and Change in Fiscal Year

 

Aptose Biosciences Inc. (formerly Lorus Therapeutics Inc.) (“Aptose” or the “Company”) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company committed to discovering and developing personalized therapies addressing unmet medical needs in oncology. Aptose changed its name from Lorus Therapeutics Inc. effective August 28, 2014. The Company’s shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The head office, principal address and records of the Company are located at 2 Meridian Road, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M9W 4Z7.

 

Effective July 17, 2014 the Company changed its fiscal year end from May 31 to December 31. As a result of that change the current interim period is for the four months ended September 30, 2014 while the prior year comparative period is for the three months ended August 31, 2013 and therefore not directly comparable to the current four month period. The current fiscal year will be from June 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014.

 

2.Basis of presentation

 

(a) Statement of Compliance

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as at September 30, 2014 and August 31, 2013 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 may 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 November 4, 2014.

  

(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 ending May 31, 2014. 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 period ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the seven months ended December 31, 2014. For further information, see the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements including notes thereto for the year ended May 31, 2014.

 

Standards and Interpretations Adopted

No new accounting standards or interpretations were adopted in the four months ended September 30, 2014.

(Tabular amounts are in 000s)

 

4.Capital disclosures

 

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to:

 

·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 activities, to pursue partnership and collaboration opportunities and to maintain ongoing operations.

 

The capital structure of the Company consists of cash and cash equivalents, short-term 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.

 

The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements and the Company’s overall strategy with respect to capital risk management remains unchanged from the year ended May 31, 2014.

 

(a)Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash of $321 thousand (May 31, 2014 - $2.3 million) and funds deposited into high interest savings accounts totaling $16.6 million (May 31, 2014 –$17.1 million). The current interest rate earned on these deposits is between 1.0% and 1.25% (May 31, 2014 – 1.2% - 1.25%)

 

(b)Short-term investments:

 

As at September 30, 2014 short-term investments consist of guaranteed investment certificates with Canadian financial institutions having high credit ratings. Short-term investments include twelve investments with maturity dates from April 22, 2015 to June 19, 2016, bearing interest rates from 1.50% to 2.1% per annum.

 

5.Financial instruments

 

(a)Financial instruments

 

The Company has classified its financial instruments as follows:

 

   As at   As at 
   September 30, 2014   May 31, 2014 
         
Financial assets          
Cash and cash equivalents, consisting of high interest savings accounts, measured at amortized cost  $16,947   $19,367 
Short-term investments, consisting of guaranteed investment certificates, measured at amortized cost   16,108    11,019 
           
Financial liabilities          
Accounts payable, measured at amortized cost   439    649 
           
Accrued liabilities, measured at amortized cost   865    1,283 
           
Convertible promissory notes, measured at amortized cost   545    528 
           

 

At September 30, 2014, there are no significant differences between the carrying values of these amounts and their estimated market values due to their short-term nature.

 

(b)Financial risk management

 

The Company has exposure to credit risk, liquidity 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.

APTOSE BIOSCIENCES INC. (formerly Lorus Therapeutics Inc.)

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Four months ended September 30, 2014 and three months ended August 31, 2013 (see note 1 for change in fiscal year)

(Tabular amounts are in 000s)

 

(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 and short-term investments. The carrying amount of the financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.

 

The Company manages credit risk for its cash and cash equivalents and short term 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, debt or partnering 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 short-term 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.

 

Financial instruments potentially exposing the Company to foreign exchange risk consist principally of accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The Company holds minimal amounts of U.S. dollar denominated cash, purchasing on an as needed basis to cover U.S. dollar denominated payments. At September 30, 2014, U.S. dollar denominated accounts payable and accrued liabilities amounted to $535 thousand (May 31, 2014 - $769 thousand). Assuming all other variables remain constant, a 10% depreciation or appreciation of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar would result in an increase or decrease in loss for the year and comprehensive loss of $54 thousand (May 31, 2014 - $77 thousand). The Company does not have any forward exchange contracts to hedge this risk.

 

6.Share capital

 

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares.

   Common Shares   Warrants 
(amounts in 000's)  Number   Amount   Number   Amount

Expiry of unexercised warrants (a)   -    -    (2,285)   (190)
Balance at September 30, 2014   139,325   $220,693    2,612   $512 

 

 

(a)Warrants

 

Warrants exercised during the four months ended September 30, 2014:        
(in 000’s)  Number   Proceeds 
         
June 2012 private placement warrants (ii)   14,667   $6,600 
Total   14,667   $6,600 

  

In addition to the cash proceeds received of $6.6 million, the original fair value related to these warrants of $1.2 million was reallocated from warrants to share capital. This resulted in a total amount of $7.8 million credited to share capital.

 

There were no warrants exercised in the three months ended August 31, 2013.

 

During the four months ended September 30, 2014, 2.3 million warrants expired unexercised. This resulted in $190 thousand reallocated from the warrants equity account to contributed surplus.

(d)Loss per share

 

Refer to note 12 (a). Subsequent to September 30, 2014, on October 1, 2014 the Company implemented a 1 for 12 share consolidation. In accordance with IFRS, the calculation of earnings per share has been based on the new number of shares reflecting the 1 for 12 consolidation

 

Loss per common share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the four month period ending September 30, 2014 of 11.610 million (August 31, 2013 – 3.521 million) calculated as follows:

 

   Four months ended   Three months ended 
   September 30, 2014   August 31, 2013 
         
Issued common shares, beginning of period   10,388    3,521 
Effect of warrant exercises (note 6(a))   1,222    - 
    11,610    3,521 

  

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.

(c)Fair value assumptions

 

The following assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options granted during the following periods:

 

    Four months ended  
    September 30, 2014  
       
Exercise price   $ 0.43-0.475  
Grant date share price   $ 0.43-0.475  
Risk free interest rate     1.5%
Expected dividend yield      
Expected volatility     53-122%  
Expected life of options     5 years  
Weighted average fair value of options granted in the period   $ 0.38  

  

Stock options granted by the Company during the four months ended September 30, 2014 vest 50% on the first anniversary, 25% on the second anniversary and 25% on the third anniversary.

 

During the four months ended September 30, 2014 the terms of options held by a former director of the Company were amended such that the expiry date was extended from three months to three years. In calculating the additional expense the fair value of the options was calculated immediately prior to the amendment (Exercise prices - $0.18-$0.50, share price - $0.43, risk free interest rate – 1.5%, volatility – 53%, expected life – 3 months) and immediately after the amendment (Exercise prices - $0.18-$0.50, share price - $0.43, risk free interest rate – 1.5%, volatility – 122%, expected life – 3 years). The increase in fair value resulted in an additional expense of $108 thousand.
