Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
Note 1. General Company Information
Evaxion Biotech A/S (the "Company" or "Evaxion") is an artificial intelligence ("AI")-immunology platform company that uses its proprietary AI technology, engineering expertise and drug development know-how to simulate the human immune system and generate predictive models to identify and develop efficacious immunotherapies for patients in the global market. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the "Company," "we," "us," and "our", refer to Evaxion Biotech A/S and its subsidiaries.
Evaxion is a public limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in Denmark with its registered office located at Dr. Neergaards Vej 5f, DK-2970 Hoersholm, Denmark.
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Evaxion Biotech and its subsidiary (collectively, the "Group") for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, were approved, and authorized for issuance, by the Audit Committee of the board of directors on May 11, 2021.
Stock Split and bonus share issuance
On January 4, 2021, the Company's board of directors and shareholders approved (i) a 2-for-1 stock split of its issued and outstanding ordinary shares and (ii) a bonus share issuance in the ratio of 17-for-1 of its issued and outstanding ordinary shares (collectively the "Stock Split"). The Stock Split also resulted in a reduction of the nominal value of the Company's ordinary shares from DKK 2 to DKK 1. Accordingly, all share and per share data in the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed interim financial statements, and notes thereto, have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented, as applicable, to give effect to the stock split, the bonus share issuance and the reduction in nominal value of our ordinary shares, with the corresponding impact on share capital and share premium. Retrospective effect has also been given with respect to the share and per share data for the warrants and convertible debt instruments.
Initial Public Offering
On February 5, 2021, the Company completed an initial public offering ("IPO"), which resulted in the listing of American Depository Shares ("ADS") representing the company's ordinary shares, under the symbol "EVAX" in the United States on The NASDAQ Capital Market. The gross proceeds from the IPO were $30.0 million, and net proceeds were $27.9 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and before deducting fees and expenses payable by the Company.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of preparation
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting." Certain information and disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 and accompanying notes, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
The accounting policies applied are consistent with the accounting policies as outlined in the basis of presentation section included in Note 2 of the audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020. As of January 1, 2021, the following accounting policy in respect of foreign currency translation is now relevant:
Intragroup receivables to foreign operations for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future are treated as part of the net investment, and the gain or loss on foreign currency translation of such receivables is recognized in other comprehensive income and classified as part of the foreign currency translation reserve.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are disclosed in Note 3.
Deferred Offering Costs
Offering costs, consisting of legal, accounting, printer and filing fees of $2.6 million were directly attributable to the issuance of new shares relating to the Company's IPO and were offset against proceeds from the IPO upon the effectiveness of the offering.
Standards issued but not yet effective
There were a number of standards and interpretations which were issued but were not yet effective at March 31, 2021 and have not been adopted for these financial statements, including:
The Company expects to adopt these standards, updates and interpretations when they become mandatory. These standards are not expected to have a significant impact on disclosures or amounts reported in the Company's financial statements in the period of initial application and future reporting periods.
Note 3. Significant Accounting Judgements, Estimates, and Assumptions
In the application of our accounting policies, the Company is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all disclosures for critical accounting judgments and estimation uncertainties that are required in the annual consolidated financial statements, and therefore, should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
Significant accounting estimates made in the process of applying our accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements relate to share-based compensation. See Note 5 below for additional information regarding stock-based compensation.
There have been no other changes to the application of critical accounting judgments, or estimation uncertainties regarding accounting estimates.
Note 4. Significant Events in the Reporting Period
Impact from COVID-19
The Company is closely monitoring the potential impact of COVID-19 on the 2021 financial results and cash flows and beyond. The Company's top priority remains the health and safety of its staff and the patients in the studies. The Company maintains compliance with government and health authorities. Additionally, we have adapted the way in which we work to ensure we are doing our part in reducing transmission of COVID-19.
The Company has worked closely with laboratories and investigators to ensure safe continuation and working requirements of our ongoing research activities and human clinical trials. The Company has not experienced a materially negative impact from COVID-19. As of March 31, 2021, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to unfold. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, our estimates may change materially in the future.
While business travel has been suspended, the Company has remained active and effective in the process of raising capital with institutional investors by conducting key meetings on a virtual basis.
On January 4, 2021, the Company effected the Stock Split resulting in a reduction of the nominal value of the Company's ordinary shares from DKK 2 to DKK 1.
Initial Public Offering
On February 5, 2021, the Company completed its IPO. Refer to Note 1 for further details.
Note 5. Share-Based Payments
Warrant Program and Amendments
The Company's Articles of Association allow for the granting of equity compensation, in the form of equity settled warrants, to employees, consultants and Scientific Advisory Board members who provide services similar to employees, members of executive management, and the board of directors. The warrants granted in 2018 or prior become exercisable upon an exit event, which triggers an immediate vesting, or at any time as determined by the board of directors in accordance with the terms of the plan. The warrants granted in 2020 vest either gradually over 36 months or vest immediately. Vested warrants granted in 2020 are exercisable in certain exercise windows beginning in the second half of the year of 2021. Warrants granted up until 2019 expire on December 31, 2036. Warrants granted in 2020 expire on December 31, 2031. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the number of warrants as a percentage of outstanding ordinary shares was 11.5% and 12.6%, respectively.
On January 4, 2021, the Company effected its Stock Split which also resulted in a reduction of the nominal value of the Company's ordinary shares from DKK 2 to DKK 1. In accordance with the anti-dilution provisions of the warrant agreements, the number of warrants was increased by a ratio of 36 and the exercise price was decreased from DKK 2 to 1 DKK. Accordingly, information related to the Company's warrants, have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split and the bonus shares for all periods presented.

In the interim period ended March 31, 2021, no warrants were granted. Employees will be entitled to receive a number of warrants based on the individual employee's grade and performance for 2021. The warrants will be granted in December 2021 at the share price at grant date and will vest monthly over 36 months. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, a service cost of $0.3 million and $0.7 million has been recognized respectively, based on the estimated fair value of the warrants expected to be granted.
Subsequent to the Company's IPO, determining the initial fair value and subsequent accounting for equity awards require significant judgment regarding expected life and volatility of an equity award; however, as a public listed company there is objective evidence of the fair value of an ordinary share on the date an equity award is granted. On the other hand, due to the fact that as of 2021, warrants will be granted at the share price on the date of grant, fair value comprises a time value which is significantly affected by the expected life and expected volatility. The expected life of a warrant is based on the assumption that the holder will not exercise until after the equity award is fully vested. Actual exercise patterns may differ from the assumption used herein. The expected volatility is based on peer group data and reflects the assumption that the historical volatility over a period similar to the life of the warrant is indicative of future trends, which may not necessarily be the actual outcome. The peer group consists of listed companies that management believes are similar to the Company in respect to industry and stage of development. Even with objective evidence of the fair value of an ordinary share, small changes in any other individual assumption or in combination with other assumptions could have resulted in significantly different valuations.
