NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 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%).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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

Change in fair value - 164,780
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

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.
