Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements |
For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 |
Amounts in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts and where noted |
(Unaudited) |
1. | Corporate information |
Trillium Therapeutics Inc. (the “Company” or “Trillium”) is a clinical-stage immuno-oncology company developing innovative therapies for the treatment of cancer. The Company is a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of Ontario. The Company’s head office is located at 2488 Dunwin Drive, Mississauga, Ontario, L5L 1J9, and it is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and on the NASDAQ Stock Market.
2. | Basis of presentation |
(a) | Statement of compliance |
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with International Accounting Standard 34,InterimFinancial Reporting. The notes presented in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include only significant events and transactions occurring since the Company’s last fiscal year-end and are not fully inclusive of all matters required to be disclosed in its annual audited consolidated financial statements.
The policies applied in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are based on International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The board of directors approved the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements on May 10, 2018. Any subsequent changes to IFRS or their interpretation, that are given effect in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2018, could result in a restatement of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
(b) | Basis of measurement |
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for cash-settled deferred share units (“DSUs”) and contingent consideration, which are measured at fair value.
(c) | Functional and presentation currency |
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.
(d) | Use of significant estimates and assumptions |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, and the determination of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates and assumptions. The Company reviews its estimates and underlying assumptions on an ongoing basis. Revisions are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and may impact future periods.
Management has applied significant estimates and assumptions to the following:
Intangible assets
The Company estimates the useful lives of intangible assets from the date they are available for use in the manner intended by management and periodically reviews the useful lives to reflect management’s intent about developing and commercializing the assets. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company changed its estimate of the life of its small molecule platform intangible asset to a remaining useful life of approximately three years. This change in estimate resulted in a reduced amortization charge of $380 for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

2. | Basis of presentation (continued) |
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment upon the occurrence of events or changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. For the purpose of measuring recoverable amounts, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use (being the present value of the expected future cash flows of the relevant asset or cash-generating unit). An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Management evaluates impairment losses for potential reversals when events or circumstances warrant such consideration.
Valuation of contingent consideration
The fair value of contingent consideration on the acquisition of Fluorinov was calculated using a discounted cash flow approach, where a risk-adjusted discount rate was applied to future cash flows. The discount rates used require significant estimates of probabilities of future preclinical and clinical success that are inherently uncertain. The estimate of the potential timing of future events is also uncertain. Changes in theseestimates affect the fair value estimates of other liabilities.
Valuation of share-based compensation and warrants
Management measures the costs for share-based compensation and warrants using market-based option valuation techniques. Assumptions are made and estimates are used in applying the valuation techniques. These include estimating the future volatility of the share price, expected dividend yield, expected risk-free interest rate, future employee turnover rates, future exercise behaviours and corporate performance. Such estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain. Changes in these assumptions affect the fair value estimates of share-based compensation and warrants. The fair value of the cash-settled DSU liability is remeasured at each reporting date, with the change in liability recognized in general and administrative expenses.
Functional currency
Management considers the determination of the functional currency of the Company a significant judgment. Management has used its judgment to determine the functional currency that most faithfully represents the economic effects of the underlying transactions, events and conditions and considered various factors including the currency of historical and future expenditures and the currency in which funds from financing activities are generated. A Company’s functional currency is only changed when there is a material change in the underlying transactions, events and conditions.
3. | Significant accounting policies |
The Company’s significant accounting policies were outlined in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 and have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, except for the newly adopted standards described in note 3 (b). In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.
(a) | Basis of consolidation |
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Fluorinov from the date of its acquisition on January 26, 2016 to the date of its amalgamation on January 1, 2017, and Trillium Therapeutics USA Inc. from its date of incorporation on March 26, 2015.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date at which control is determined to have occurred and are deconsolidated from the date that the Company no longer controls the entity. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company using consistent accounting policies. Intercompany transactions, balances, and gains and losses on transactions between subsidiaries are eliminated.

3. | Significant accounting policies (continued) |
(b) | New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted during 2018 |
IFRS 9,Financial Instruments
As at January 1, 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 9,Financial Instruments (IFRS 9). The Company has elected to not restate comparative periods in the year of initial application of IFRS 9 relating to the transition for classification, measurement and impairment. As a result, the comparative information provided continues to be accounted for on a basis consistent with those followed in the most recent annual consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 9 replaces the provisions of IAS 39 that relate to the recognition, classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, derecognition of financial instruments, impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting. IFRS 9 also significantly amends other standards dealing with financial instruments such as IFRS 7,Financial Instruments: Disclosures.
Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments
The Company assessed the classification and measurement of the financial instruments it held at the date of initial application of IFRS 9 (January 1, 2018) and has classified its financial instruments into the appropriate IFRS 9 categories. There were no changes to the carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments resulting from this reclassification and accordingly there was no impact to the Company’s opening balance of deficit as at January 1, 2018 as a result of the adoption of IFRS 9.
At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial instrument at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial instrument not at fair value through profit (loss), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial instrument. Transaction costs of financial instruments carried at fair value through profit (loss) are expensed in profit (loss).
Subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on the Company’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories in which the Company classifies its financial instruments:
Amortized cost: Financial assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. Finance income from these financial instruments is recorded in net income (loss) using the effective interest rate method.
Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI): Financial instruments that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial instruments, where the financial instruments’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognized in net income (loss). When the financial instrument is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from equity to net income (loss).
Fair value through profit (loss) (FVTPL): Financial instruments that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at fair value through profit (loss). A gain or loss on a financial instrument that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit (loss) and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognized in net income (loss) and presented net in comprehensive income (loss) in the period in which it arises.
Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL. Financial liabilities are subsequently measured as FVTPL when the financial liability is (i) contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination, (ii) held for trading, or (iii) it is designated as FVTPL if eligible.

Reclassifications of Financial Instruments on Adoption of IFRS 9
On the date of initial application, January 1, 2018, the financial instruments of the Company were as follows, with any reclassifications noted:
Measurement Category | ||
Original (IAS 39) | New (IFRS 9) | |
Financial Assets | ||
Cash and cash equivalents | FVTPL | Amortized cost |
Marketable securities | FVTPL | Amortized cost |
Financial Liabilities | ||
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | Amortized cost | Amortized cost |
Loan payable | Amortized cost | Amortized cost |
Other liabilities | FVTPL | FVTPL |
The Company’s marketable securities include guaranteed investment certificates (GICs) held by the Company which were reclassified from the fair value through profit (loss) measurement category to amortized cost. At the date of initial application, the Company’s business model meets the criteria for amortized cost. The Company intends to hold the GICs to maturity to collect contractual cash flows and these cash flows consist solely of payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Impairment of Financial Assets
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities are subject to IFRS 9’s new expected credit loss model which results in a revision to its impairment methodology. Marketable securities at amortized cost are considered to be low risk, and therefore the impairment provision is determined using a twelve months expected credit loss basis. There was no impact to the Company’s opening balance of deficit as a result of the change in impairment methodology.
IFRS 15,Revenue from Contracts with Customers
As at January 1, 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 15Revenue from Contracts with Customers(“IFRS 15”) which covers principles for reporting about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
(c) | New standards and interpretations not yet effective |
IFRS 16,Leases
In January 2016 the IASB issued IFRS 16 Leases (“IFRS 16”) which requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for most leases on their balance sheets. Lessees applying IFRS 16 will have a single accounting model for all leases, with certain exemptions. The new standard will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 with limited early application permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on its interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Other accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued, but have future effective dates, are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company assesses the impact of adoption of future standards on its unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, but does not anticipate significant impact in 2018.

9. | Commitments and contingencies |
As at March 31, 2018, the Company had obligations to make future payments, representing significant research and development contracts and other commitments that are known and committed in the amount of approximately $9,661. These commitments include agreements related to the conduct of the Phase I clinical trials, sponsored research, manufacturing and preclinical studies. The Company also has minimum lease payments for operating lease commitments, primarily for its office and laboratory lease, in the amount of $248 over the next 12 months, $1,026 from 12 to 60 months, and $704 thereafter. The facility lease contains options for early termination and for lease extension.
The Company enters into research, development and license agreements in the ordinary course of business where the Company receives research services and rights to proprietary technologies. Milestone and royalty payments that may become due under various agreements are dependent on, among other factors, clinical trials, regulatory approvals and ultimately the successful development of a new drug, the outcome and timing of which are uncertain. Under the license agreement for SIRPαFc, the Company has future contingent milestones payable of $25 related to successful patent grants, $200 and $300 on the first patient dosed in phase II and III trials respectively, and regulatory milestones on their first achievement totalling $5,000.
In connection with the acquisition of Fluorinov, the Company is obligated to pay up to $35,000 of additional future payments that are contingent upon achieving certain clinical and regulatory milestones with an existing Fluorinov compound. The Company also has an obligation to pay royalty payments on future sales of such compounds. At Trillium’s discretion, up to 50% of the future contingent payments can be satisfied through the issuance of common shares of Trillium provided that the aggregate number of common shares issuable under such payments will not exceed 1,558,447 common shares unless shareholder approval has first been obtained. In addition, any such future share issuance remains subject to final approvalfrom Trillium’s board of directors and receipt of any requisite approvals under the applicable rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ Stock Market. Trillium has also committed to use commercially reasonable efforts to monetize Fluorinov’s central nervous system assets and share 50% of the net proceeds with Fluorinov shareholders.
The acquisition of Fluorinov was considered a related party transaction as two Company directors were determined to be related parties of Fluorinov. One Company director was a director of Fluorinov and had an ownership position in Fluorinov at the time of acquisition of less than 2%, and the second director was a director of an entity that was a beneficiary of a trust that was a shareholder and debenture holder of Fluorinov. The two directors declared their conflict of interest and abstained from all discussions and decisions concerning the Fluorinov acquisition. Accordingly, the Company determined that the consideration paid on the acquisition was made on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s length transactions.
The Company has two agreements with Catalent Pharma Solutions pursuant to which Trillium acquired the right to use a proprietary expression system for the manufacture of two SIRPαFc constructs. Consideration for each license includes potential pre-marketing approval milestones of up to U.S. $875 and aggregate sales milestone payments of up to U.S. $28,750.

9. | Commitments and contingencies (continued) |
The Company periodically enters into research and license agreements with third parties that include indemnification provisions customary in the industry. These guarantees generally require the Company to compensate the other party for certain damages and costs incurred as a result of claims arising from research and development activities undertaken by or on behalf of the Company. In some cases, the maximum potential amount of future payments that could be required under these indemnification provisions could be unlimited. These indemnification provisions generally survive termination of the underlying agreement. The nature of the indemnification obligations prevents the Company from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount it could be required to pay. Historically, the Company has not made any indemnification payments under such agreements and no amount has been accrued in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements with respect to these indemnification obligations.
10. | Financial instruments |
(a) | Fair value |
IFRS 13Fair Value Measurement provides a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are those that reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions with respect to how market participants would price an asset or liability. These two inputs used to measure fair value fall into the following three different levels of the fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 | Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments that are observable. | |
Level 2 | Quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and derived from or corroborated by observable market data. | |
Level 3 | Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable. |
The hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available.
The Company has classified cash and cash equivalents as Level 1. The marketable securities and loan payable has been classified as Level 2. The Fluorinov contingent consideration in other liabilities has been classified as Level 3. The fair value of the contingent consideration increases as the time to the expected milestones decreases assuming the probability of achieving the milestones remains unchanged.
Cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and other current liabilities, due within one year, are all short-term in nature and, as such, their carrying values approximate fair values. Marketable securities, which primarily include guaranteed investment certificates held by the Company, are valued at amortized cost.
(b) | Liquidity risk |
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company is a development stage company and is reliant on external fundraising to support its operations. Once funds have been raised, the Company manages its liquidity risk by investing in cash and short-term instruments to provide regular cash flow for current operations. It also manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring actual and projected cash flows. The board of directors reviews and approves the Company’s operating and capital budgets, as well as any material transactions not in the ordinary course of business.

10. | Financial instruments (continued) |
(c) | Currency risk |
The Company is exposed to currency risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of those rates. Currency risk is limited to the portion of the Company’s business transactions denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar, which are primarily expenses in U.S. dollars. As at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company held U.S. dollar cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities in the amount of U.S. $51,158 and U.S. $58,627, and had U.S. dollar denominated accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the amount of U.S. $6,234 and $6,778, respectively. Therefore, a 1% change in the foreign exchange rate would have a net impact on finance costs as at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 of $568 and $673, respectively.
U.S. dollar expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were approximately U.S. $3,300 and U.S. $4,280, respectively. Varying the U.S. exchange rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 to reflect a 1% strengthening of the Canadian dollar would have decreased the net loss by approximately $42 and $57, respectively, assuming that all other variables remained constant.
