NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024
(in thousands of Canadian dollars, except share amounts and where indicated)
Note 1 Nature of Operations and Going Concern
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. We are a limited company incorporated and domiciled in Canada. Our shares are publicly traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market and the Toronto Stock Exchange. Our principal place of business is located at 804, 322 11th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing pelareorep, a safe and well-tolerated intravenously delivered
immunotherapeutic agent that activates the innate and adaptive immune systems and weakens tumor defense mechanisms. This improves the ability of the immune system to fight cancer, making tumors more susceptible to a broad range of oncology treatments. Our primary focus is to advance our programs in hormone receptor-positive human epidermal growth factor 2-negative (HR+ HER2-) metastatic breast cancer and metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma to registration-enabling clinical studies. In addition, we are exploring opportunities for registrational programs in other gastrointestinal cancers through our GOBLET platform study.
We have not been profitable since our inception and expect to continue to incur substantial losses as we continue our research and development efforts. As at September 30, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $469,696. We do not expect to generate significant revenues until and unless pelareorep becomes commercially viable. To date, we have funded our operations mainly through issuing additional capital via public offerings, equity distribution arrangements, and the exercise of warrants and stock options.
Management has applied significant judgment in the assessment of our ability to continue as a going concern when preparing our condensed interim consolidated financial statements. In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period. As at September 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $19,598. Without raising additional funding or reducing or eliminating our planned expenditures, we estimated our cash and cash equivalents to fund our operations into the second quarter of 2025. Factors that will affect our anticipated cash needs for the next twelve months include, but are not limited to, expansion of our clinical trial program, the timing of patient enrollment in our clinical trials, the actual costs incurred to support each clinical trial, the number of treatments each patient will receive, the timing of activity with our clinical trial research collaborations, the number, timing and costs of manufacturing runs required to conclude the validation process and supply product to our clinical trial program, and the level of collaborative activity undertaken.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising additional financing through equity or strategic collaborations and transactions. We plan on raising additional funds through the sale of our common shares or other capital resources, such as collaborations and debt, to fund our ongoing operations. However, given the difficulty for micro-cap market capitalization companies to raise significant capital, there can be no assurance that additional liquidity will be available under acceptable terms or at all. Furthermore, if we are unable to obtain additional financing when required, there can be no assurance that we will be able to sufficiently reduce or eliminate our planned expenditures to extend our operating runway. These material uncertainties raise substantial doubt on our ability to meet our obligations as they come due and, accordingly, the appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ) applicable to a going concern. However, the use of the going concern assumption on which these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared may not be appropriate based on the factors described above.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and statements of financial position classifications that would be necessary if we were unable to realize our assets and settle our liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of operations. Such adjustments could be material.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024
(in thousands of Canadian dollars, except share amounts and where indicated)
Note 2 Basis of Presentation
Statement of compliance
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and in compliance with International Accounting Standard ( IAS ) 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ( IASB ).
Our condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors on November 9, 2024.
Basis of presentation
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been 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.
The notes presented in these condensed 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 condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our most recent annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Our condensed interim consolidated financial statements include our financial statements and the financial statements of our subsidiaries, Oncolytics Biotech (Barbados) Inc. and Oncolytics Biotech (U.S.) Inc, and are presented in Canadian dollars, our functional currency.
The preparation of our condensed interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires us to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies, the reported amounts, and disclosures in our condensed interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management makes estimates based on our best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future. We consider the potential impact of certain external factors outside of our control, including global political conflicts, supply chain disruptions, inflation, fluctuating interest rates, and liquidity, when making certain estimates and judgments relating to the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material.
Note 3 Material Accounting Policies
The accounting policies applied in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are the same as those applied in our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Adoption of new accounting standards
IAS 1 Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current
In October 2022, the IASB issued amendments to clarify how conditions with which an entity must comply within 12 months after the reporting period affect the classification of a liability. This is in addition to the amendment from January 2020 where the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements, to provide a more general approach to the presentation of liabilities as current or non-current based on contractual arrangements in place at the reporting date. These amendments specify that the rights and conditions existing at the end of the reporting period are relevant in determining whether the Company has a right to defer settlement of a liability by at least 12 months, provided that management's expectations are not a relevant consideration as to whether the Company will exercise its rights to defer settlement of a liability and clarify when a liability is considered settled. The amendments became effective on January 1, 2024. Adopting the amendments did not have a material impact on our condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

Accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements which replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 introduces new requirements on presentation within the statement of profit or loss, including specified totals and subtotals. It also requires disclosure of management-defined performance measures and includes new requirements for aggregation and disaggregation of financial information based on the identified roles of the primary financial statements and the notes. Narrow scope amendments have been made to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and some requirements previously included within IAS 1 have been moved to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, which has also been renamed IAS 8 Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements. IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting has also been amended to require disclosure of management-defined performance measures. IFRS 18 and the amendments to the other standards are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early application permitted. IFRS 18 applies retrospectively to both annual and interim financial statements. We are assessing the impact of adopting this standard on our consolidated financial statements.
Note 4 Balance Sheet Details
Cash equivalents consist of interest-bearing deposits with our bank totaling $14,367 as at September 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - $31,534).
In 2023, we were selected by the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN) as the recipient of its Therapeutic Accelerator Award to conduct a clinical trial with pelareorep in combination with modified FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy with or without an immune checkpoint inhibitor in pancreatic cancer patients. Under the terms of the award agreement, we are entitled to receive up to US$5 million in funding for eligible research expenses, and we must comply with the conditions set out with the award agreement, including providing periodic performance progress reports. As at September 30, 2024, we recorded US$362 ($489) (December 31, 2023 - US$225 ($298)) in other liabilities representing unapplied funding received from PanCAN.

Trade payables $ 3,427 $ 1,082
Accrued liabilities 3,495 2,490

We have office space leases with initial lease terms generally between 3 to 6 years. We currently do not have leases with residual value guarantees or leases not yet commenced to which we are committed. We have variable lease payments related to office space lease operating costs that are not material. Lease liabilities have been measured by discounting future lease payments using our incremental borrowing rate, as rates implicit in the leases were not readily determinable. The weighted average rate applied was 15%.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded an increase of $785 to the lease liability and $794 to the right-of-use asset relating to one of our subsidiaries' office leases.

Note 6 Warrant Derivative
Our common share purchase warrants ( warrants ) with a U.S. dollar exercise price, which differs from our functional currency, are treated as a derivative measured at fair value, and revalued each period end at fair value through profit and 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.

On August 8, 2023, pursuant to an underwritten public offering, we issued 6,667,000 units for gross proceeds of $20,185 (US$15,001) at a price of US$2.25 per unit. On September 7, 2023, pursuant to the over-allotment option exercised by the underwriter, we issued an additional 1,000,050 units for gross proceeds of $3,077 (US$2,250) at a price of US$2.25 per unit. Each unit consisted of one common share and one common share purchase warrant ( warrant ), which were immediately separable and issued separately in this offering. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of US$2.81 up to 60 months from the date of issuance. Proceeds were allocated amongst common shares and warrants by

applying a relative fair value approach, which resulted in $17,724 recorded in share capital and an initial warrant derivative liability of $7,360. The difference between the fair value of the warrants and their allocated proceeds was a discount of $1,822, which is amortized on a straight-line basis over the five-year expected life of the warrants and recorded under change in fair value of warrant derivative on our consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss.
At September 30, 2024, as the unamortized discount balance was greater than the fair value of the warrant derivative liability, the net balance was presented as an asset on our condensed interim consolidated statement of financial position.
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 the Government of Canada benchmark bond 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 with an exercise price of US$2.81 was determined using the following assumptions
September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023
Underlying share price US$0.88 US$1.35

Proceeds were allocated amongst common shares and warrants by applying a relative fair value approach, which resulted in $17,724 recorded in share capital and an initial warrant derivative liability of $7,360. In consideration of the services rendered by the underwriter, we issued 536,693 compensation warrants (see note 8). In total, we incurred transaction costs of $3,130 (including a fair value of $638 (US$473) for the compensation warrants), of which $2,390 were allocated to share issue costs and $740 were allocated to operating expenses, based on the relative fair values of the common share and warrant of each unit.
