1	Nature of operations

IMV Inc. (the “Corporation” or “IMV”) is, through its 100% owned subsidiary, a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to making immunotherapy more effective, more broadly applicable and more widely available to people facing cancer, infectious and other serious diseases. IMV is pioneering a new class of targeted immunotherapies and vaccines based on the Corporation’s proprietary and patented drug delivery platform (“DPX”). The DPX platform’s novel mechanism of action enables the programming of immune cells in vivo, which are aimed at generating powerful target-specific therapeutic capabilities. IMV’s lead candidate, DPX-Survivac, is a T cell-activating immunotherapy that combines the utility of the platform with a target: survivin. IMV is currently assessing DPX-Survivac as a monotherapy in advanced ovarian cancer, as well as a combination therapy in recurrent/refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma and other indications across multiple clinical studies with Merck. IMV is also developing a DPX-based vaccine to fight against COVID-19. The Corporation has one reportable and geographic segment. Incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act and domiciled in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, the shares of the Corporation are listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market and the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “IMV”. The address of its principal place of business is 130 Eileen Stubbs Avenue, Suite 19, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada.

An outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus, identified as “COVID-19”, was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. In response, many countries have required entities to limit or suspend business operations and implemented travel restrictions and quarantine measures. These measures have disrupted the activities of many entities and have led to significant volatility in the global markets. The Corporation continues to monitor and actively manage the developing impacts from COVID-19, including but not limited to, the potential future effects on its assets, cash flow and liquidity, and will continue to assess impacts to the Corporation’s operations, going concern assumption, and the value of assets and liabilities reported in these statements. In addition, a significant outbreak of contagious diseases in the human population could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could further affect the Corporation’s operations and ability to finance its operations.


2	Basis of presentation

The Corporation prepares its unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles as set out in the Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada Handbook – Accounting Part I, which incorporates International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including IAS 34, International Accounting Standards 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. Accordingly, certain information normally included in annual audited financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the IASB, have been omitted or condensed. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Corporation’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The policies applied in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are based on IFRS issued and outstanding as of November 11, 2020, the date the Board of Directors approved the statements. Any subsequent changes to IFRS that are given effect in the Corporation’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2019 could result in restatement of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

3	Significant accounting policies, judgements and estimation uncertainty

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same policies and methods as the annual audited consolidated financial statements of the Corporation for the period ended December 31, 2019. Refer to note 4 of the Corporation’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 for more information on accounting policies and methods applied.


4	Government grants and contributions

The Corporation is evaluating all applicable government relief programs. Notably, in response to the negative economic impact of COVID-19, the Government of Canada, in collaboration with the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (“NRC IRAP”), announced the Innovation Assistance Program (“IAP”) program in April 2020. IAP provides a wage subsidy on eligible remuneration, subject to limits per employee, to eligible employers pursuing technology driven innovation who are not eligible for funding under the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy. The Corporation qualified for this subsidy from the April 1, 2020 effective date through to June 23, 2020, and has, accordingly, recognized $601 of IAP during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and has recorded it in government assistance on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. As at September 30, 2020, this funding has been fully received.

In May 2020, the Corporation qualified for $378 in NRC IRAP funding toward the development of its COVID-19 vaccine candidate, DPX-COVID-19. Under this program, NRC IRAP will reimburse up to 80% of eligible project salaries and 50% of eligible contractor costs. In July 2020, the Corporation qualified to receive an additional $259 in funding under the terms of this contribution agreement, resulting in a maximum contribution of $637. As at September 30, 2020, the Corporation has recognized $411 of this NRC IRAP funding in government assistance on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. As at September 30, 2020 there is $164 in receivables related to this funding.

In July 2020, the Corporation qualified for $2,500 in project funding from Next Generation Manufacturing Canada (“NGen”) to support the rapid development of DPX-COVID-19. Under this program, NGen will reimburse up to 50% of eligible project expenses. The Corporation received an advance of $1,742 from NGen in August 2020 related to this funding and as at September 30, 2020, $639 of the advance has been recognized in government assistance on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss and $1,103 has been recorded as a deferred contribution in accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities on the statements of financial position. The deferred contribution will be recognized in the statements of loss and comprehensive loss on the same basis as eligible project expenses are incurred.

In August 2020, the Corporation qualified for COVID-19 project funding from the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (“ACOA”). ACOA’s contribution is an interest free government loan with a maximum contribution of $1 million conditionally repayable based on a percentage of revenue only from resulting COVID-19 vaccine revenue. As at September 30, 2020, there is $1 million in receivables related to this ACOA funding and the loan has been recorded at its fair value in long-term debt on the statements of financial position.

Refer to subsequent events (note 10) for detail on additional government assistance obtained for the Corporation’s COVID-19 vaccine project subsequent to the reporting period.

5	Long-term debt (continued)

Total contributions received, less amounts that have been repaid as at September 30, 2020, are $16,111 (2019 -$15,147).

Certain ACOA loans and the Province loan require approval by ACOA or the Minister for the Province before the Corporation can pay management fees, bonuses, dividends or other distributions, before there is any change of ownership of the Corporation. The Province loan requires the Corporation to obtain the written consent from the Province prior to the sale, disposal or abandonment of possession of the intellectual property of the Corporation or its subsidiary. If during the term of the Province loan, the head office, research and development facilities, or production facilities of the Corporation are moved from the Province, the Corporation is required to repay 40% of the outstanding principal of the loan.

In June 2019, the Corporation amended its loan agreement with the Province. Previously, the maturity date of the loan was August 9, 2020. The Corporation shall now start repaying the balance of the principal amount on the first day of January 2021, by making 60 monthly principal payments of $83 plus interest from January 2021 to December 2025. The annual interest rate remains at the Province’s cost of funds plus 1%.

The Province loan requires certain early repayments if the Corporation’s subsidiary, or the Corporation on a consolidated basis, has cash flow from operations in excess of $1,500. The Province loan also requires repayment of the loan under certain circumstances, such as changes of control, sale or liquidation of the Corporation or the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Corporation.

On August 8, 2019 (the “Reclassification Date”), the the Corporation resolved to settle all future DSU redemptions in shares instead of cash. All outstanding DSUs are accordingly now considered equity-settled instruments. As a result of this change, the fair value of the DSUs at the Reclassification Date were reclassified from liabilities to contributed surplus.

Stock options

The fair values of stock options are estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. As at September 30, 2020, 295,850 stock options (2019 – 343,100) with a weighted average exercise price of $5.66 (2019 - $7.39) and a term of five years (2019 - five years), were granted to employees and consultants. The expected volatility of these stock options was determined using historical volatility rates and the expected life was determined using the weighted average life of past options issued. The value of these stock options has been estimated at $873 (2019 -$1,112), which is a weighted average grant date value per option of $2.95 (2019 - $3.24), using the Black-Scholes valuation model and the following weighted average assumptions:

Fair value of financial instruments (continued)

Assets and liabilities, such as commodity taxes, that are not contractual and that arise as a result of statutory requirements imposed by governments, do not meet the definition of financial assets or financial liabilities and are, therefore, excluded from amounts receivable and accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities.

Fair value of items, which are short-term in nature, have been deemed to approximate their carrying value. The above noted fair values, presented for information only, reflect conditions that existed only at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and do not necessarily reflect future value or amounts which the Corporation might receive if it were to sell some or all of its assets to a willing buyer in a free and open market.

The fair value of long-term debt is estimated based on the expected interest rates for similar borrowings by the Corporation as at the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position dates. As at September 30, 2020, the fair value is estimated to be equal to the carrying amount.


10	Subsequent events
