STATEMENT OF MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY
Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the financial statements, Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) and all other information in the Annual Report.
In management’s opinion, the accompanying financial statements have been properly prepared with reasonable limits of materiality and within the appropriately selected Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and policies consistently applied and summarized in the financial statements.
The MD&A has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of securities regulators as applicable to Oncolytics Biotech Inc.
The financial statements and information in the MD&A generally include estimates that are necessary when transactions affecting the current accounting period cannot be finalized with certainty until future periods. Based on careful judgments by management, such estimates have been properly reflected in the accompanying financial statements and MD&A. The MD&A also includes information regarding the impact of current transactions and events, sources of liquidity and capital resources and risks and uncertainty. Actual results in the future may differ materially from our present assessment of this information because future events and circumstances may not occur as expected.
Systems of internal controls, including organizational and procedural controls and internal controls over financial reporting, assessed as reasonable and appropriate in the circumstances, are designed and maintained by management to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded from loss or unauthorized use and to produce reliable records for financial purposes.
We, as the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer will certify to our annual filings with the CSA and the SEC as required in Canada by Multilateral Instrument 52-109 (certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual Interim Filings) and in the United States by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
The external auditors conducted an independent examination of corporate and accounting records in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards to express their opinion on the financial statements. Their examination included such tests and procedures as they considered necessary to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements are presented fairly. The external auditors have full and free access to our Board of Directors and its Committees to discuss audit, financial reporting and related matters.
The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that management fulfills its responsibilities for financial reporting and internal control. The Board exercises this responsibility through the Audit Committee of the Board. This Committee meets with management and the external auditors to satisfy itself that management’s responsibilities are properly discharged and to review the financial statements and MD&A before they are presented to the Board of Directors for approval.

AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Shareholders of
Oncolytics Biotech Inc.
We have audited the balance sheets of Oncolytics Biotech Inc. as at December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the statements of loss and deficit and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2006 and for the cumulative period from inception on April 2, 1998. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2006 and the cumulative period from inception on April 2, 1998 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2006 and 2005
1. | INCORPORATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS |
Oncolytics Biotech Inc. (the “Company” or “Oncolytics”) was incorporated on April 2, 1998 under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) as 779738 Alberta Ltd. On April 8, 1998, the Company changed its name to Oncolytics Biotech Inc.
The Company is a development stage biopharmaceutical company that focuses on the discovery and development of pharmaceutical products for the treatment of cancers that have not been successfully treated with conventional therapeutics. The Company’s main project is the development of REOLYSIN®, a product that may represent a novel treatment for Ras mediated cancers which can be used as an alternative to existing cytotoxic or cytostatic therapies, as an adjuvant therapy to conventional chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or surgical resections, or to treat certain cellular proliferative disorders for which no current therapy exists.
2. | BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION |
On April 21, 1999, SYNSORB Biotech Inc. (“SYNSORB”) purchased all of the shares of the Company. In connection with the acquisition, the basis of accounting for the assets and liabilities of Oncolytics was changed to reflect SYNSORB’s cost of acquiring its interest in such assets and liabilities (i.e. reflecting SYNSORB’s purchase cost in the financial statements of the Company). The amount by which SYNSORB’s purchase price exceeded the underlying net book value of the Company’s assets and liabilities at April 21, 1999 was $2,500,000. Such amount has been credited to contributed surplus and charged to intellectual property which will be amortized to income based on the established amortization policies for such assets. Subsequent to April 21, 1999 SYNSORB’s ownership has been diluted through public offerings of the Company’s common shares, sales of the Company’s shares by SYNSORB and a distribution of SYNSORB’S ownership interest in the Company to its shareholders [note 18]. As a result, SYNSORB no longer has any ownership in the Company.
3. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These policies are, in all material respects, in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles except as disclosed in note 19. The financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the accounting policies summarized below.
Use of estimates
Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be significant. Significant estimates made by management affecting the Company’s financial statements include the assessment of the net realizable value of long lived assets and the amortization period of intellectual property.
Oncolytics Biotech Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2006 and 2005
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash on hand and balances with the Company’s bank including interest bearing deposits earning an average interest rate of 3.7% (2005 – 2.9%).
Short-term investments
Short-term investments, consisting primarily of bankers’ acceptances, treasury bills and bonds, are liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value and with original maturities less than two years at the time of purchase, and are carried at the lower of amortized cost and market value. Gains and losses on disposal of short-term investments are included in income in the period of realization. Premiums or discounts are amortized over the remaining maturity of the instrument and reported in interest income.
Capital assets
Capital assets are recorded at cost. Amortization is provided on bases and at rates designed to amortize the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives. Amortization is recorded using the declining balance method at the following annual rates:
Office equipment and furniture |
20% |
Medical equipment | 20% |
Computer equipment | 30% |
Leasehold improvements | Straight line over the term of the lease |
Intellectual property
External costs relating to the Company’s patents are recorded at cost, net of recoveries. Amortization of intellectual property is on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the patents’ legal life or its estimated useful life (currently estimated to be 10 years) and begins on the earlier of a patent being granted or its utilization. The Company assesses potential impairment of its intellectual property when any events that might give rise to impairment are known to the Company by measuring the expected net recovery from products based on the use of the intellectual property.
Foreign exchange
Transactions originating in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the year-end rate of exchange and non-monetary items are translated at historic exchange rates. Exchange gains and losses are included in net loss for the year.
Research and development
Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development costs that meet specific criteria related to technical, market and financial feasibility will be capitalized. To date, all of the development costs have been expensed.
Oncolytics Biotech Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2006 and 2005
Loss per common share
Basic loss per share is determined using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
The Company uses the treasury stock method to calculate diluted loss per share. Under this method, diluted loss per share is computed in a manner consistent with basic loss per share except that the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares from the assumed exercise of options and warrants, if dilutive. The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that any outstanding “in the money” options and warrants were exercised at the later of the beginning of the period or the date of issue and that the proceeds from such exercises were used to acquire shares of common stock at the average market price during the reporting period.
Stock option plan
The Company has one stock option plan (the “Plan”) available to officers, directors, employees, consultants and suppliers with grants under the Plan approved from time to time by the Board of Directors. Under the Plan, the exercise price of each option equals the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant in accordance with Toronto Stock Exchange guidelines. Vesting is determined at the discretion of the Board and the expiration of options is to be no greater than ten years from the date of grant.
Stock based compensation
Officers, Directors and Employees
Effective January 1, 2003, the Company prospectively adopted the fair value based method of accounting for employee awards granted under its stock option plan (see note 10). The Company calculates the fair value of each stock option grant using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model and the fair value is recorded over the option’s vesting period on a straight line basis. The following tables provide pro forma net loss and pro forma basic and diluted net loss per share had compensation expense, for awards granted in 2002, been based on the fair value method of accounting for stock based compensation:

Pro forma basic and diluted net loss per share | (0.39) | (0.39) | (0.45) |
As this policy has been applied prospectively, comparative information has not been restated.
Non-employees
Stock based compensation to non-employees is recorded at the fair market value based on the fair value of the consideration received, or the fair value of the equity instruments granted, or liabilities incurred, whichever is more reliably measurable, on the earlier of the date at which a performance commitment is reached, performance is achieved, or the vesting date of the options.
Future income taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, future income taxes are recognized for the difference between financial statement carrying values and the respective income tax basis of assets and liabilities (temporary differences). Future income tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted income tax rates expected to apply in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on future income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is included in income in the period of the change.
Future Changes in Accounting Policy
Financial Instruments
On January 1, 2007, the Company will prospectively adopt the new Canadian accounting standards for financial instruments and comprehensive income. These new accounting standards will impact our accounting policy for investment securities. The new rules will require the Company to classify these securities as held-to-maturity or available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities will be measured at fair value with gains and losses recorded in a new section of shareholders’ equity called other comprehensive income. There will be no change in accounting for held-to-maturity securities. The Company does not expect these standards to have a significant impact on its financial statements upon adoption as the Company’s short-term investments are expected to be classified as held-to-maturity securities.

6. | ALBERTA HERITAGE FOUNDATION LOAN |
The Company has received a loan of $150,000 from the Alberta Heritage Foundation for Medical Research. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company is required to repay this amount in annual installments from the date of commencement of sales in an amount equal to the lesser of: (a) 5% of the gross sales generated by the Company; or (b) $15,000 per annum until the entire loan has been paid in full.
7. | COMMITMENTS |
The Company is committed to payments totaling $650,000 during 2007 for activities related to its clinical trial program and collaborations. As at December 31, 2006, there were no commitments beyond 2007.
The Company is committed to monthly rental payments (excluding the Company’s portion of operating costs) of $7,453 under the terms of a lease for office premises, which expires on May 31, 2011.
Under a clinical trial agreement entered into with the Alberta Cancer Board (“ACB”), the Company has agreed to repay the amount funded under the agreement together with a royalty, to a combined maximum amount of $400,000 plus an overhead repayment of $100,000, upon sales of a specified product. The Company agreed to repay the ACB in annual installments in an amount equal to the lesser of: (a) 5% of gross sales of a specified product; or (b) $100,000 per annum commencing with the sale of product.
8. | CONTINGENCY |
During 1999, the Company entered into an agreement that assumed certain obligations (the “Assumption Agreement”) in connection with a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) between SYNSORB and the former shareholders of the Company to make milestone payments and royalty payments.
As of December 31, 2006, a milestone payment for $1.0 million will be due within 90 days of the first receipt from an Appropriate Regulatory Authority, for marketing approval to sell REOLYSIN® to the public or the approval of a new drug application for REOLYSIN®.
This milestone payment, when payable, will be accounted for as research and development expense and will not be deductible for tax purposes.
In addition to the milestone payment, payments may become due and payable in accordance with the Agreement upon realization of sales of REOLYSIN®. In 2003, the Company completed amendments and revisions to the contingent obligations to its five founding shareholders with respect to these other contingent payments. The amendments and revisions reduced the amount and clarified the determination of potential obligations of the Company to these shareholders arising from the Agreement and Assumption Agreement entered into in 1999. Also, on September 23, 2004, the Company reached an agreement that
Oncolytics Biotech Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2006 and 2005
further reduced its contingent payments to its founding shareholders through the cancellation of a portion of these contingent payments from one of its non-management founding shareholders. The consideration paid by the Company consisted of $250,000 cash and 21,459 common shares valued at $150,000 and has been recorded as research and development expense. The value of the common shares was based on the closing market price on September 23, 2004.
As a result of the amendments and the cancellation agreement, if the Company receives royalty payments or other payments as a result of entering into partnerships or other arrangements for the development of the reovirus technology, the Company is obligated to pay to the founding shareholders 11.75% (formerly in 2003 – 14.25% and 2002 – 20%) of the royalty payments and other payments received. Alternatively, if the Company develops the reovirus treatment to the point where it may be marketed at a commercial level, the payments referred to in the foregoing sentence will be amended to a royalty payment of 2.35% (formerly in 2003 – 2.85% and 2002 – 4%) of Net Sales received by the Company for such products.

14. | INDEMNIFICATION |
The Company’s corporate by-laws require that, except to the extent expressly prohibited by law, the Company will indemnify its officers and directors against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment reasonably incurred in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding as it relates to their services to the Company. The by-laws provide no limit to the amount of the indemnification. The Company has purchased directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage to cover claims made against the directors and officers during the applicable policy periods. The amounts and types of coverage have varied from period to period as dictated by market conditions. The Company believes that it has adequate insurance coverage; however there is no guarantee that all indemnification payments will be covered under the Company’s existing insurance policies.
There is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any officer or director of the Company as to which indemnification is being sought, nor is the Company aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.
15. | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
Financial instruments of the Company consist of cash and cash equivalents, short term investments, accounts receivable, investments, accounts payable, and the Alberta Heritage Foundation loan. As at December 31, 2006, there are no significant differences between the carrying values of these amounts and their estimated market values.
Credit risk
The Company is exposed to credit risk on its short-term investments in the event of non-performance by counterparties, but does not anticipate such non-performance. The Company mitigates its exposure to credit risk by restricting its portfolio to investment grade securities with short term maturities and by monitoring the credit risk and credit standing of counterparties.
Interest rate risk
The Company earns interest on its fixed rate short-term investments of 4.0% (2005 – 2.9%; 2004 – 2.3%) and is therefore exposed to interest rate risk from fluctuations in short-term interest rates.
Oncolytics Biotech Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2006 and 2005
Foreign exchange risk
The Company purchases goods and services denominated primarily in Canadian, U.S. and U.K. currencies. To manage its foreign exchange risk, the Company, from time to time, acquires short-term investments denominated in these securities.
16. | ECONOMIC DEPENDENCE |
The Company contracts the production and currently receives its supplies of REOLYSIN® from one toll manufacturer based in the United Kingdom. There are a limited number of potential producers and suppliers of REOLYSIN®. As a result, any significant disruption of the services provided by this toll manufacturer has the potential to delay the progress of the Company’s clinical trial program. Management is aware of and is taking actions to minimize this exposure.

18. | BCY LIFESCIENCES INC. |
On May 7, 2002, the shareholders of SYNSORB and the Company approved an arrangement whereby the Company would release from escrow 4,000,000 common shares held by SYNSORB. As consideration, SYNSORB provided the Company with 1,500,000 common shares of BCY LifeSciences Inc. (“BCY”) along with the rights to receive an additional 400,000 common shares of BCY upon the attainment of certain milestones by BCY at no cash cost to the Company. The Company received 200,000 of these 400,000 common shares on November 27, 2002. These 1,700,000 common shares in BCY were recorded as an investment at $170,000 based on the quoted market price of the BCY common shares at that time with an offsetting credit recorded to contributed surplus. On April 23, 2002, the Company acquired 694,445 common shares of BCY, a public company, for $0.18 per share, and warrants exercisable until April 23, 2004 to purchase up to 694,445 common shares in BCY at an exercise price of $0.27 per share for total consideration of $127,123 (including costs of $2,123). After these transactions, the Company held a total of 2,394,445 BCY shares.
During 2005, the Company sold 120,000 (2004 – 697,945; 2003 – 1,496,500) of its BCY shares for net cash proceeds of $7,965 (2004 – $133,609; 2003 – $450,151) recording a gain on sale of investment of $765 (2004 – $34,185; 2003 – $264,453). As at December 31, 2006, the Company’s remaining ownership in BCY was 80,000 common shares with a book value $4,800 and has been classified as a short term investment. The warrants expired out of the money.

1. | “Push-Down” Accounting and In Process Research and Development |
In process research and development of $2,500,000 recorded as a consequence of SYNSORB’s acquisition of the Company’s shares comprises intangible assets related to research and development activities. Under U.S. GAAP, this would not be capitalized on acquisition.
As a result of removing the $2,500,000 from intellectual property in 1999 for U.S. GAAP purposes, the amortization of the intellectual property, the future income tax recovery, future income tax liability and contributed surplus amounts recorded for Canadian GAAP purposes have been reversed.
2. | Presentation of Stock Based Compensation Expense |
Under U.S. GAAP, stock based compensation expense is to be presented within the appropriate category of expenses on the statement of loss. As a result, stock based compensation on the statement of loss would be reduced by $403,550 in 2006 (2005 - $64,104 and 2004 – $2,668,570) and research and development and operating expenses would increase by $131,890 and $271,660, respectively (2005 – $59,974 and $4,130, respectively; and 2004 – $1,460,470 and $1,208,100, respectively). Cumulative from inception stock based compensation would be reduced by $4,165,649 and cumulative from inception research and development and operating expenses would increase by $2,295,929 and $1,869,720, respectively. There is no impact on the Company’s net loss.
Stock Based Employee Compensation
On January 1, 2003, the Company prospectively adopted the fair value based method for its employee options (see note 3). Consequently there were no differences between Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP with respect to options granted subsequent to this date.
In 2002, the Company applied the intrinsic value method for employee stock options and the fair value method for non-employee options granted after January 1, 2002. Prior to January 1, 2002, for U.S. GAAP, the Company applied the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock option plans. As well, the Company provided pro forma disclosure as required by FAS 123 for those options granted prior to January 1, 2002.

Future Changes in U.S. Accounting Policies
On July 13, 2006, FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. Interpretation 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with Statement 109 and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Additionally, Interpretation 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Interpretation 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of Interpretation 48 will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In 2006, FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This new pronouncement provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. FASB believes the pronouncement also responds to investors’ requests for expanded information about the extent to which corporations measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. Statement 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. Statement 157 requires expanded disclosure of the effect on earnings for items measured using unobservable data. The Company does not believe adoption of Statement 157 will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
20. | COMPARATIVE FIGURES |
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the current period’s presentation.
21. | SUBSEQUENT EVENT |
On February 22, 2007, the Company closed a public offering whereby 4,000,000 units were issued at a price of $3.00 per unit for gross cash proceeds of $12,000,000. Net proceeds are expected to be approximately $10,590,000. Each unit included one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant for a total of 2,000,000 warrants. Each whole common share purchase warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share in the capital of the Company upon payment of $3.50 per share until February 22, 2010.
