Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited)

For the Three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

(Tabular amounts expressed in thousands of Canadian Dollars, except for share and per share amounts)

 

 

1. Nature of business and liquidity

 

The Company's principal business activity is the development and commercialization of IL-2, IL-4 and IL-13 Superkines and Empowered Superkines for the treatment of cancer, inflammation and immune-mediated diseases. Medicenna has four wholly owned subsidiaries, Medicenna Therapeutics Inc. (“MTI”) (British Columbia), Medicenna Biopharma Inc. (“MBI”) (Delaware), Medicenna Biopharma Inc. (“MBIBC”) (British Columbia) and Medicenna Australia PTY Ltd (“MAL”) (Australia). Medicenna is traded on both the Toronto Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol ‘’MDNA”.

 

Aa at June 30, 2022, the head and registered office is located at 2 Bloor St W, 7th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

 

Since inception, the Company has devoted its resources to funding R&D programs, including securing intellectual property rights and licenses, conducting discovery research, manufacturing drug supplies, initiating preclinical and clinical studies, submitting regulatory dossiers and providing administrative support to R&D activities, which has resulted in an accumulated deficit of $75.1 million as of June 30, 2022. With current revenues only consisting of interest earned on excess cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, losses are expected to continue while the Company’s R&D programs are advanced.

 

We currently do not earn any revenues from our product candidates and are therefore considered to be in the development stage. As required, the Company will continue to finance its operations through the sale of equity or pursue non-dilutive funding sources available to the Company in the future. The continuation of our research and development activities for MDNA55, MDNA11 and the BiSKITsTM platform and the commercialization of MDNA55 is dependent upon our ability to successfully finance and complete our research and development programs through a combination of equity financing and revenues from strategic partners. We have no current sources of revenues from strategic partners.

 

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company completed a financing which raised an additional US$20 million.  This additional cash is expected to fund operations into Q1 of calendar 2024.  For further details see Note 10.

 

COVID-19 Update

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global pandemic and the Company continues to evaluate the COVID-19 situation and monitor any impacts or any potential impacts to the business. Medicenna has implemented health and safety measures in accordance with health officials and guidance from local government authorities. Further, the pandemic has had an impact on the Company’s third-party vendors resulting in delays in receiving components and supplies which delayed our ability to start certain studies and could result in development delays including the ongoing and planned clinical activities related to MDNA11. As the COVID-19 health crisis continues, the Company will continue to rely on guidance and recommendations from local health authorities, Health Canada and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to update the Company’s policies.

2. Basis of presentation and significant accounting policies

 

a) Statement of compliance

 

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ (IAS 34) using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and the Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting and Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2022.

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and authorized for issue on August 12, 2022.

 

b) Functional and presentation currency

 

The functional currency of an entity and its subsidiary is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The functional currency of the parent company is the Canadian dollar and the functional currency of MBI is the US dollar, the functional currency of MTI and MBI BC is the Canadian dollar, the functional currency of MAL is the Australian dollar, and the presentation currency of the parent company is the Canadian dollar.

 

c) Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

 

The preparation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates.

 

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include estimates, which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

 

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS and follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2022. They do not include all of the information and disclosures required by IFRS for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included in these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements. Operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ended March 31, 2023. For further information, see the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements including notes thereto for the year ended March 31, 2022.

Unlimited common shares

 

Equity Issuances

 

On December 30, 2020, the Company entered into a sales agreement with SVB Leerink acting as sales agent, pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time sell, through at-the-market (“ATM”) on the NASDAQ such number of common shares as would have an aggregate offering price of up to US$25.0 million (the ATM Offering). The Company plans to use the net proceeds of the ATM offering for general corporate purposes including, but not limited to working capital expenditures, research and development expenditures, and clinical trial expenditures. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company issued 656,656 common shares (June 30, 2021 – nil) for gross proceeds of US$0.8 million (June 30, 2021 - $nil) at an average price of US$1.20. The company received; net of commissions US$0.7 million (June 30, 2021 - $nil). In total, we incurred share issuance costs (including commissions) of US$0.1 million (June 30, 2021 - $nil).

 

Calculation of loss per share

Loss per common share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. For the period ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the calculation was as follows:

 

      Three months ended
June 30, 2022
      Three months ended
June 30, 2021
 
Common shares issued and outstanding, beginning of period     55,647,479       53,547,709  
ATM issuances     486,076       —    
Effect of warrants and options exercised     —         7,176  
Weighted average common shares issued and outstanding, end of period     56,133,555       53,554,885  

 

The effect of any potential exercise of the Company’s stock options and warrants outstanding during the year has been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per common share as it would be anti- dilutive.

6. Government assistance

 

CPRIT assistance

 

In February 2015, the Company received notice that it had been awarded a grant by the Cancer Prevention Research Institute of Texas (“CPRIT”) whereby the Company was eligible to receive up to US$14.1 million on eligible expenditures over a three-year period related to the development of the Company’s phase 2b clinical program for MDNA55. As of March 31, 2022, the grant with CPRIT was complete.

 

Of the US$14.1 million grant approved by CPRIT, Medicenna had received US$14.1 million from CPRIT at March 31, 2022.

 

Under the terms of the grant, the Company is required to pay a royalty to CPRIT, comprised of 3-5% of revenues on net sales of MDNA55 until aggregate royalty payments equal 400% of the grant funds received at which time the ongoing royalty will be 0.5% of revenues. At this time the royalty is not probable and therefore no liability has been recorded. In addition, the Company must maintain a presence in Texas for three years following completion of the grant.

 

Refundable Tax

 

In June 2022, the Company received $0.7 million through our Australian R&D incentive program relating to the year ended March 31, 2022.

7. Commitments

          

Intellectual property

 

On August 21, 2015, the Company exercised its right to enter into two license agreements (the “Stanford License Agreements”) with the Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University (“Stanford”). In connection with this licensing agreement, the Company issued 649,999 common shares with a value of $0.1 million to Stanford and affiliated inventors. The value of these shares has been recorded as an intangible asset that is being amortized over the life of the underlying patents. As at June 30, 2022, the Company’s intangible assets have a remaining capitalized net book value of $65 thousand (March 31, 2022 - $65 thousand).

 

The Company has entered into various license agreements with respect to accessing patented technology. In order to maintain these agreements, the Company is obligated to pay certain costs based on timing or certain milestones within the agreements, the timing of which is uncertain. These costs include ongoing license fees, patent prosecution and maintenance costs, royalty and other milestone payments. As at June 30, 2022, the Company is obligated to pay the following:

 

Given the current development plans and expected timelines of the Company it is assumed that project milestones of US$0.3 million will be due in the next five years.

  Project milestone payments, assuming continued success in the development programs, of uncertain timing totaling US$2.0 million and an additional US$2.0 million in sales milestones.
