1. Business overview
Summary of business
Aeterna Zentaris (the “Company” or “Aeterna”) is a specialty biopharmaceutical company commercializing and developing therapeutics and diagnostic tests. The Company’s lead product, Macrilen™ (macimorelin), is the first and only U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and European Medicines Agency-approved oral test indicated for the diagnosis of patients with adult growth hormone deficiency (“AGHD”). Macrilen™ is currently marketed in the US through a license agreement (the “Novo Amendment”) between the Company and Novo Nordisk Health Care AG (“Novo”) and in the United Kingdom and Europe through a license agreement with Consilient Healthcare Inc (“Consilient” or “CH”) under the trade name of Ghryvelin®. The Company is also dedicated to the development of therapeutic assets and has recently taken steps to establish a pre-clinical pipeline to potentially address unmet medical needs across a number of indications with a focus on rare or orphan indications and with the potential for pediatric use.
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) on August 3, 2022.
Basis of presentation
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2021. The accounting policies in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those presented in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements, with the exception of the Company’s policy with respect to the government assistance which is as follows:
Government assistance
Amounts received or receivable resulting from government assistance programs, including grants and refundable investment tax credits for research and development, are accounted for in accordance with IAS 20 - Accounting for government grants and disclosure of government assistance and are recognized where there is reasonable assurance that the amount of government assistance will be received, and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the amount relates to an expense item such as research and development costs, it is recognized as income on a systematic basis as a reduction to the costs that it is intended to compensate. When the grant relates to an asset, it reduces the carrying amount of the asset and is then recognized as income over the useful life of the depreciable asset by way of a reduced depreciation charge.

(Unaudited)
COVID-19 & Russia and Ukraine conflict
The
rise in COVID-19 variants has caused delays in site initiation and patient enrollment in our DETECT-trial and may be impacting sales
activities for Macrilen™ in the US. Further, the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia/Ukraine conflict may also
cause some patients to be unwilling to enroll in our trials or be unable to comply with clinical trial protocols if such events impede
patient movement or interrupt healthcare services, both of which would delay our ability to conduct clinical trials or release clinical
trial results on a timely basis and could delay our ability to obtain regulatory approval and commercialize our product candidates. For
the period ended June 30, 2022, the Company assessed the impact of the uncertainties around the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia/Ukraine
conflict on its judgments, estimates, accounting policies and amounts recognized in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial
statements and determined that no adjustments were required to the carrying value of assets and liabilities. Management determined that
the recruitment for the DETECT-trial may now continue until later into 2023 compared to the end of the 2022 year as anticipated at the
end of the previous fiscal year. As such, amounts related to deferred revenue have been reclassified from current to long-term to reflect
the revised timeline. We are currently assessing with Novo the impact on timelines and study cost. Preliminary indications are that the
delays associated with COVID-19 and the Russia/Ukraine conflict will result in additional costs to the program. As such, this resulted
in reversal of revenue in both the license fees and development services for the quarter and in negative revenues of $
The Company will continue to monitor the impact of the development of the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia/Ukraine conflict in further reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and such differences may be material.
Restatement of comparative period figures
At the end of the prior fiscal year 2021, the Company restated its previously reported condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 and the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 with respect to the recognition of revenue for the Novo Amendment, signed in November 2020. During the fourth quarter of 2021, management reassessed the classification of the development activities associated with the DETECT-trial and concluded that subsequent to the Novo Amendment, the parties no longer shared joint control of these activities and, as such, these development activities no longer met the definition of a joint operation, as defined in IFRS 11 -Joint Arrangements. Therefore, pursuant to the guidance in IFRS 15 -Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company reclassified the charges to Novo, from research and development expenses to development services revenue, in the related periods. In addition, the license fees related to the pediatric indication were adjusted to reflect the revised pattern of recognition as the performance obligation for the development services has now been combined with the pediatric license. In addition, the accounting for prepaid expenses and other assets and deferred revenues related the DETECT-trial expenses incurred was restated.

2. Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the Company’s assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. Judgments, estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience, expectations, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time at which the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared.
Management reviews, on a regular basis, the Company’s accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments in order to ensure that the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with IFRS applicable to interim financial statements. Critical accounting estimates and assumptions, as well as critical judgments used in applying accounting policies in the preparation of the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements, were the same as those applied to the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and for the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020.

Net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the relevant period. Diluted weighted average number of shares reflects the dilutive effect of equity instruments, such as any “in the money” stock options, DSUs and warrants. In periods with reported net losses, all stock options and warrants are deemed anti-dilutive such that basic net loss per share and diluted net loss per share are equal, and thus “in the money” stock options and warrants have not been included in the computation of net loss per share because to do so would be anti-dilutive.

The future payments that are disclosed represent contract payments and are not discounted and are not risk-adjusted. The development of any pharmaceutical product candidates is a complex and risky process that may fail at any stage in the development process due to a number of factors. The timing of the payments is based on the Company’s current best estimate of achievement of the relevant milestone.
13. Subsequent Events
Reverse Stock Split
On July 15, 2022, the Company’s shareholders and board of directors approved an amendment to the Company’s articles of amendment to effect a 1-for-25 reverse stock split of the Company’s common shares, DSU and Warrants. The Company’s outstanding stock options were also adjusted to reflect the 1-for-25 reverse stock split of the Company’s common shares. Accordingly, all common shares, DSU and Warrants, stock options and per share amounts in these consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to give effect to the reverse stock split. Outstanding stock options were proportionately reduced and the respective exercise prices, if applicable, were proportionately increased. The reverse stock split was effected in the markets on July 21,2022.
