1.      Nature of Business and Liquidity

Fennec Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Fennec,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was originally formed as a British Columbia corporation under the name Adherex Technologies Inc. and subsequently changed its name on September 3, 2014. Fennec, together with its wholly owned subsidiaries Oxiquant, Inc. (“Oxiquant”) and Fennec Pharmaceuticals, Inc., both Delaware corporations, and Cadherin Biomedical Inc. (“CBI”), a Canadian corporation and Fennec Pharmaceuticals (EU) Limited (“Fennec Limited”), collectively referred to herein as the “Company,” is a biopharmaceutical company with a product candidate under development for use in the treatment of cancer. With the exception of Fennec Pharmaceuticals, Inc., all subsidiaries are inactive.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) that are applicable to a going concern which contemplates that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company incurred a net loss from operations of $12,775 and still has not earned any revenue in its history. At December 31, 2019 it had an accumulated deficit of $144,031 and had experienced negative cash flows from operating activities in the amount of $9,060 for the year ended December 31, 2019.

On February 1, 2019, Fennec entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Bridge Bank, a division of Western Alliance Bank, an Arizona corporation, pursuant to which the Bank agreed to loan $12.5 million to the Company, to be made available upon New Drug Application NDA approval of PEDMARK by no later than September 30, 2020. The proceeds from the loan will be used for working capital purposes and to fund general business requirements in accordance with the terms of the Loan and Security Agreement. Interest under the Term Loans shall bear interest, on the outstanding daily balance thereof, at a floating per annum rate equal to the Effective Interest Rate (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement) which is equal to the sum of the Prime Rate published in the Wall Street Journal (currently 4.75%) plus one percent (1.00%). The debt facility is to have interest-only monthly payments due for the first eighteen months from the funding date and then monthly principal and interest payments are due through the remainder of the term which has a maturity date of October 1, 2023. In connection with the facility, Fennec has agreed to grant Bridge Bank a warrant to purchase up to 39,130 common shares at an exercise price of $6.80 per common share, for a term of ten years from the date of issuance, subject to early termination under certain conditions.

The Company believes the aforementioned raise, along with the current cash on hand, provides sufficient funding for the Company to carry-out its planned activities for the next fifteen to eighteen months as it continues its strategic development of PEDMARKTM.

These financial statements do not reflect the potentially material adjustments in the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses, and the balance sheet classifications used, that would be necessary if the going concern assumption were not appropriate.
