General Company Information | |
General Company Information | Note 1. General Company Information Evaxion Biotech A/S (the “Company” or “Evaxion”) is an artificial intelligence (“AI”)-immunology platform company that uses its proprietary AI technology, engineering expertise and drug development know-how to simulate the human immune system and generate predictive models to identify and develop efficacious immunotherapies for patients in the global market. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”, refer to Evaxion Biotech A/S and its subsidiaries. Evaxion is a public limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in Denmark with its registered office located at Dr. Neergaards Vej 5f, DK-2970 Hoersholm, Denmark. On February 5, 2021, the Company completed an initial public offering (“IPO”), which resulted in the listing of American Depository Shares (“ADS”) representing the company’s ordinary shares, under the symbol “EVAX” in the United States on the NASDAQ Capital Market. Through the IPO, the Company sold 3,000,000 ADSs, each of which represents one ordinary share, at a price to the public of $10.00 per ADS. The Company received net proceeds of $25.3 million from the IPO, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. Upon the completion of the IPO, authorized share capital consists of 3,000,000 shares of ordinary shares, par value DKK 1 per share. On November 9, 2021, the Company completed a follow-on public offering through which we issued and sold 3,942,856 ADSs, each of which represents one ordinary share, at a price to the public of $7.00 per ADS. The shares issued were inclusive of the 514,285 ADSs issued to the underwriters pursuant to the full exercise of their option to purchase additional shares on November 5, 2021. The Company received aggregate net proceeds of $24.9 million from the follow-on public offering, which includes the funds received for the additional shares issued to the underwriters, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. Upon the completion of the follow-on public offering, the Company’s registered, issued, and outstanding share capital was nominal DKK 23,141,524. At year end, due to warrant exercise, the outstanding share capital was nominal DKK 23,203,808. The consolidated financial statements of Evaxion Biotech and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”) for the year ended December 31, 2021, were approved, and authorized for issuance, by the Board of Directors on March 31, 2022. Basis of Going Concern The Company’s Board of Directors has, at the time of approving the consolidated financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Based on the Company’s net proceeds secured through its recent IPO and follow-on public offering, together with access to its EIB loan, of which the Company has already received the proceeds from tranche no. 1 of €7 million on February 17, 2022, and the current cash on hand will allow the Company to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the issuance of this Form 20-F. Thus, these consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis of accounting. Emerging Growth Company Status Evaxion is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The Company has elected to take advantage of specified reduced reporting and regulatory requirements in contrast to those otherwise applicable generally to public companies. This provision includes the exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Evaxion will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of the global offering, (b) in which its annual gross revenue totals at least $1.07 billion or (c) when the Company is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of the Company’s ordinary shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 COVID 19 In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was reported in Wuhan, China and on March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a widespread health crisis and numerous disease control measures being taken to limit its spread. As the pandemic unfolds throughout the world, the healthcare systems of the countries in which the Company is conducting its studies have experienced great disruption. Governments have instituted quarantining and mandated business and school closures. Travel has been severely restricted. The Company has closely been monitoring the impact of COVID-19. The Company’s top priority remained the health and safety of its staff and the patients in the studies. The Company maintains compliance with government and health authorities. The Company has worked closely with laboratories and investigators to ensure safe continuation and working requirements of our ongoing research activities and human clinical trials. The Company has not experienced a materially negative impact from COVID 19. As of December 31, 2021, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to unfold. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, our estimates may change materially in the future. While business travel has been limited, the Company has remained active and effective in the process of raising capital with institutional investors by conducting key meetings on a virtual basis. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. The Company adopted IFRS in 2019 and applied it from the beginning of the period preceding adoption, starting on January 1, 2018. Management has assessed the impact of new or amended and revised accounting standards and interpretations (IFRSs) issued by the IASB and IFRSs endorsed by the European Union effective on or after January 1, 2021. It is assessed that application of amendments effective from January 1, 2021 has not had a material impact on the consolidated financial statements for 2021. Furthermore, Management does not anticipate any significant impact on future periods from the adoption of these amendments. The financial statements are presented in the Company’s presentation currency, U.S. dollar (“USD”) which is not the functional currency of the parent company. The Group’s financial statements are presented in USD as the result of the Company’s publicly listing the ADSs in the United States. The company’s functional currency is DKK for Denmark, AUD for Australia, and USD for the United States. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis using a historical cost basis. All financial assets and liabilities are measured at amortized cost unless otherwise stated. Reclassifications of prior period presentation Certain items in prior year consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. Basis of consolidation The audited consolidated financial statements of the Company comprise the Statement of Financial Position as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the Statement of Comprehensive Loss for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The Company controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and can affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the audited consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company. Control is reassessed whenever facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes of the control. All intra-Group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses, and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation. Retrospective effect of share split and bonus share issuance All share and per share data, including that related to warrants, in the consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to a 2:1 share split and a bonus issue of shares in the ratio of 17:1 of the Company’s authorized, issued and outstanding ordinary shares, which was effective on January 4, 2021, with the corresponding impacts on both share capital and share premium also retroactively recognized. Currency translation of transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized as financial income or financial expenses in the statements of comprehensive loss. Non-monetary items in foreign currency which are measured at cost at the statements of financial position date are translated using the exchange rates at the date of the transaction. Translation of foreign operations Assets and liabilities in the Company’s functional currency, DKK and AUD, for Denmark and Australia, respectively, are translated to the Company’s presentation currency at the exchange rate applicable on December 31 for the respective year. Income and expenses in the Company’s functional currency are translated to USD at the average exchange rate which corresponds to an approximation of the exchange rates prevailing on each individual transaction date. Translation differences arising in the translation to presentation currency are recognized in other comprehensive income. Research and development expenses Research and development expenses are primarily internal and external costs incurred in the development of the Company’s product candidates, including personnel costs, share-based compensation, external research and development expenses, maintenance of the Company’s patents, overhead allocation and enhancements and maintenance of the Company’s technology platforms. The research activities are comprised of activities performed before filing an IND or equivalent and necessary pre-clinical activities for such product candidates. All research expenses are recognized in the period in which they are incurred and payments made prior to the receipt of goods or services to be used in research and development are deferred until the goods or services are received. The Company records accruals for estimated research and development costs, comprising payments for work performed by third-party contractors and others. Payments for these activities are based on the terms of the individual agreements, which may differ from the timing of the expense recognition of these costs, in which case, they are reflected in the financial statements as either prepaid- or accrued expenses. The development activities are comprised of the activities performed following the filing of an IND or equivalent clinical-enabling activities for such product candidates, including but not limited to, research and clinical development activities. In line with industry practice, internal and subcontracted development costs are expensed as incurred. Due to regulatory uncertainties and other uncertainties inherent in the development of new products, development expenses do not qualify for capitalization as intangible assets until marketing approval by a regulatory authority is obtained or considered highly probable. To date, the Company has not incurred any development costs which qualified for capitalization. Contract Research Organizations expenses and related prepayments and accruals Substantial portions of the Company’s clinical studies are performed by third-party laboratories, medical centers, contract research organizations and other vendors (collectively, the “CROs”). The CROs generally bill monthly or quarterly for services performed. For studies, the Company accrues expenses based upon estimated percentage of work completed. The Company’s estimates depend on the timeliness and accuracy of the data provided by the CROs regarding the status of each program and total program spending. The Company evaluates the estimates to determine if adjustments are necessary or appropriate based on information received. CROs invoice the Company upon the occurrence of predetermined contractual or activity-based milestones; however, the timing of these invoices and the Company’s related payments often do not correspond directly to the level of performance of contracted activities. To the extent payments are made by the Company in advance of the related activities performed by the CROs, they are included in prepayments to clinical research organizations and expensed when the activities performed by the CROs. To the extent the payments are made by the Company following the performance of the related activities, the expense is accrued for as a payable to clinical research organizations. Intellectual property The Company actively seeks to create, maintain and protect intellectual property and proprietary information and technology that is considered important to the Company’s business, which includes seeking and maintaining patents covering proprietary technology, product candidates, proprietary processes and any other inventions that are commercially and / or strategically important to the Company’s business development. These expenses are expensed as incurred and not capitalized as intangible assets until marketing approval by a regulatory authority is obtained or considered highly probable. The Company has not incurred any costs that qualify for capitalization. Income from government grants The Company receives grants for certain research and development activities. The grant income is recognized as a reduction of research and development expenses in the period in which the underlying expenditures were incurred and when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with all conditions to receive the grant income. Government grants comprise direct grants and tax credits related to qualifying research and development costs in excess of the corporate tax rate. Tax credits in an amount up to the corporate tax rate are classified as income tax benefits. General and administrative expenses General and administrative expenses consist primarily of fees paid to external consultants and personnel costs, including share-based compensation for the Company’s executive, finance, corporate and business development functions. In addition, general and administrative expenses also include depreciation and other expenses for the Company’s corporate headquarters as well as other allocated overhead. Share-based payments The Company issues warrants as an incentive to employees and non-employees. The fair value of the warrants granted is recognized as an expense with a corresponding credit to accumulated deficit. The fair value is expensed over the requisite service period of the awards. The expense recognition is based on an estimate of the number of warrants expected to vest. The estimate is reassessed regularly, and on a cumulative basis, the expense is equal to the fair value of the number of warrants which actually vest. For employees and consultants providing services similar to employees of the Company, the fair value of the equity instruments is determined at the date of grant resulting in a fixed fair value at grant date that is not adjusted for future changes in the fair value of the equity awards that may occur over the service period. The grant date is defined as the date at which the parties agree to the contractual terms. For consultants providing other services that are not similar to employees of the Company, the transactions are measured at the fair value of the services received unless this is not reliably measurable. In such cases, the transactions are measured at fair value of the equity instruments granted at the dates when the services are provided. Modification of warrants which are beneficial are accounted for with their incremental value or over the shorter vesting period. Non-beneficial modifications such as an extension of the vesting period are not accounted for. Consequently, the original terms are deemed to continue to exist. The Company estimates the fair value of warrants using the underlying value of the Company's ordinary shares. Since the warrants granted before December 2020 are exercisable for nominal consideration, the warrants are valued using the fair value of the Company's ordinary shares on grant date less the exercise consideration. Warrants granted during 2021 are valued using a black-scholes share option pricing model. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. The key assumption in this estimate is the fair value of the Company's ordinary share on the warrant grant date. Post-employment benefit costs The Company contributes to a defined contribution plan covering eligible employees. The contribution amount is based upon a fixed percentage of employee compensation and such contributions are expensed as incurred. Accounting for joint operations – Southern Denmark University The Company enters into agreements from time to time that may be subject to the requirements of IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements Southern Denmark University Accounting for joint operations - MSD International GmbH and MSD International Business GmbH The Company has entered into a collaboration agreement with MSD International GmbH and MSD International Business GmbH (jointly ‘MSD’). Under the arrangement, the Company will share its clinical trial in which the Company’s compound and MSD’s compound is dosed in combination. In determining the accounting treatment for these types of arrangements, the Company carefully evaluates the relationship between the two parties in order to determine whether the arrangement is, in substance, a collaboration arrangement between the two parties (to be accounted for in accordance with IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements), or rather, a vendor-customer contract (to be accounted for in accordance with IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers). Management has determined that MSD does not meet the definition of a customer under IFRS 15. Consequently, the arrangement is classified as a collaboration arrangement and is accounted for as a joint operation in accordance with IFRS 11 resulting in the recognition of the Company’s own income and expense and assets and liabilities, respectively. Finance Income Finance income is comprised primarily of foreign currency gains. Finance Expense Finance expense is comprised primarily of changes in fair value of the Company’s convertible debt instruments and interest on the Company’s lease liability. Income tax The income tax for the period comprises current and deferred tax, including prior-year adjustments and changes in provisions for uncertain tax positions. Tax is recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in equity. Research and development tax credits are available to the Group under the tax laws of Denmark and Australia respectively, based on qualifying research and development spend as defined under those tax laws. Tax credits not exceeding the corporate tax rate are recognized as an income tax benefit. Tax credits in excess of the corporate tax rate are classified as government grants. Accruals for uncertain tax positions and/or valuation of government grant receivables require management to make judgments of potential exposures. Accruals for uncertain tax positions and/or valuation of government grant receivables are measured using either the most likely amount or the expected value amount, depending on which method the entity expects to better predict the resolution of the uncertainty. Tax benefits are not recognized unless the tax positions will probably be accepted by the tax authorities. This is based upon management’s interpretation of applicable laws and regulations and the expectation of how the tax authority will resolve the matter. Once considered probable of not being accepted, management reviews each material tax benefit and reflects the effect of the uncertainty in determining the related taxable amounts. Deferred taxes Deferred tax is measured according to the liability method on all temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax base of assets and liabilities. Where the tax value can be determined according to alternative tax rules, deferred tax is measured on the basis of the planned use of the asset or the settlement of the obligation. Deferred tax assets are measured at the value at which they are expected to be utilized, either through elimination against tax on future earnings or through a set-off against deferred tax liabilities. Deferred tax assets are set off within the same legal tax entity and jurisdiction. Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Given the complexity of existing contractual agreements, differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expenses already recorded. As at December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company has not recognized any provisions for uncertain tax positions resulting in a risk that the deferred tax asset related to warrants is lower than disclosed. The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets if it is probable that sufficient taxable income will be available in the future against which the temporary differences and unused tax losses can be utilized. Management has considered future taxable income in assessing whether deferred income tax assets should be recognized and has concluded that the deferred income tax assets do not meet the criteria for recognition as assets in the statements of financial position. Tax receivables Current tax assets for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from the taxation authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred offering costs Offering costs, consisting of legal, accounting, printer and filing fees directly attributable to the issuance of new shares relating to the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) in February 2021, were deferred and were offset against proceeds from the IPO upon the effectiveness of the offering. Deferred offering costs recorded as of December 31, 2020 were $1.7 million. Leases The Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognizes lease liabilities for future remaining lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets. Leasehold improvements and Loan from lessor The Company’s lease contract comprises funding for the customization of the premises to the Company’s specific needs. The payment is determined based on the actual costs incurred for the customization, a repayment period of 8 years and an interest rate of 6% per annum. The Company has assessed whether this is a lease component, or a leasehold improvement funded by the lessor. We have considered the following factors: 1. Which party designed the customization 2. Which party had the right to direct changes to the work 3. Who is taking on the economic risk of the cost price of the work A third party has designed the project according to the Company’s instructions, and the Company had the right to direct changes to the work during the construction period. Further, the Company has the full economic risk of the work due to 1 :1 linkage between construction costs and payments to the lessor. Consequently, the Company has assessed that the customization is a leasehold improvement funded by the lessor and accordingly presented a leasehold improvement and a corresponding liability for the loan from the lessor. Right-of-use assets The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset at the lease commencement date (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for certain remeasurements of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred, and restoration costs. Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the useful life of the right-of-use asset using the straight-line method. In addition, right-of-use assets are reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements. The Company’s right-of-use assets are presented within property and equipment, net. Lease liabilities At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of the following payments, when applicable: ● fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable; ● variable lease payments (linked to an index or interest rate); ● expected payments under residual value guarantees; ● the exercise price of purchase options, where exercise is reasonably certain; ● lease payments in optional renewal periods, where exercise of extension options is reasonably certain; ● and penalty payments for the termination of a lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of the respective termination option. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease if this rate can be readily determined. Otherwise, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the Company would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. Lease liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. In addition, the carrying amount of the lease liabilities are remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, or a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments). Intangible assets The Company recognized intangible assets for licenses. Licenses are measured at cost less cumulative amortization and impairment. Cost is measured at fair value of the consideration transferred with addition of transactions costs. If additional consideration is transferred to the seller due to meeting certain milestones, these payments are added to the cost price once the conditions for making the payments are met. The capitalized assets are amortized over their useful lives, which are determined on the basis of the expected pattern of consumption of the expected future economic benefits embodied in the license or similar development agreement. Amortization commences only once the necessary regulatory and marketing approval has been received for the product candidates to which they relate. To date, the Company has not received any regulatory and marketing approval for any of its product candidates. Consequently, the Company did not recognize any amortization expense for its intangible assets. Property and equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows: Assets Useful life Properties Shorter of lease term and useful life of the asset Leasehold improvements 11 years Other equipment 5 – 10 years Impairment of non-financial assets Assets are tested for impairment annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period. The Company has not Provisions Provisions are recognized when we have an existing legal or constructive obligation as a result of events occurring prior to or on the balance sheet date, and it is probable that the utilization of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the expense necessary to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. Provisions that are estimated to mature after more than one year after the balance sheet date are measured at their present values, using a discount rate based on the Company’s risk adjusted incremental borrowing rate. Financial instruments A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Financial instruments are classified at initial recognition, including on the basis of the purpose for which the instrument was acquired and managed. This classification determines the valuation of the instruments. (i) Non-derivative financial assets Non-derivative financial assets are recognized initially on the date they are originated. The Company derecognizes non-derivative financial assets when the contractual rights to cash flows expire or it transfers the right to receive cash flows in a transaction which transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset. The Company’s financial assets are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost less accumulated impairment losses. The Company holds the following categories of non-derivative financial assets: Receivables Receivables (including lease deposits, receivables and receivables from unpaid capital) represent the Company’s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). They are measured at amortized cost less impairment. Prepayments include expenditures related to future financial periods and are measured at amortized cost Cash and cash equivalents Cash is comprised of cash on hand and in bank deposit accounts. Cash equivalents are instruments with original maturities of 90 days or less. The Company does not have any cash equivalents for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. (ii) Non-derivative financial liabilities Non-derivative financial liabilities comprise other payables which are measured initially at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost. Trade Payables Trade payables and accruals relate to the Group’s purchase of products and services from various vendors in the normal course of business. Other Payables Other payables are comprised of payables to clinical research organizations, employee liabilities and other liabilities. The contract liabilities consist of CROs and vendor accruals. Employee cost liabilities are comprised of provision for holiday allowance, provision for salaries and other employee related provisions. Other liabilities consist of commitments and liabilities related to government grants received in advance. Debt Debt is comprised of debt agreements that are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. (iii) Derivative financial liabilities Convertible debt instruments During 2018, the Company issued two convertible debt instruments which are determined to be financial instruments. As required by IAS 32 and IFRS 9, these instruments were separated into their components: debt, and embedded derivatives related to the conversion features, early settlement mechanism and change of control prepayment provision. The Company elected the fair value option and accounts for both the debt and the embedded derivatives as a single instrument that is measured at fair value. Details of the significant inputs and assumptions into the fair values of these instruments are provided in Note 20. Segment Information An operating segment is a part of the Company that conducts business activities from which it can generate revenue and incur costs, and for which independent financial information is available. Identification of segments is based on internal reporting to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The CODM for the Company is the Chief Executive Officer. The Company does not divide its operations into different segments and the CODM operates and manages the Company’s entire operations as one segment, which is consistent with the Company’s internal organization and reporting system. The Company does not have any revenue and there are no material non-current assets attributable to countries other than Denmark. Shareholders’ Equity The share capital comprises the nominal amount of the company’s ordinary shares, each at a nominal value of DKK 1. Other Reserves includes the share premium comprising the amount received, attributable to shareholders’ equity, in excess of the nominal amount of the shares issued at the company’s capital increases, reduced by any expenses directly attributable to the capital increases as well as translation reserves. Translation reserves include exchange rate adjustments of equity and intragroup receivables forming part of the net investments in our group enterprises. Accumulated Deficit include the accumulated profit or loss as well as well as the reserve for share-based payment representing the corresponding entries to the share-based payment recognized in the profit or loss, arising from our warrant programs. Loss Per Share The calculation of basic loss per share is based on the Company’s net loss for the year attributable to shareholders of Evaxion Biotech A/S and on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. The number of shares outstanding take in effect the 2 for 1 stock split and the 17 for 1 bonus share issuance on January 4, 2021. In calculating diluted loss per share, earnings and the average number of shares are adjusted for the dilutive effects of potential ordinary shares. Loss per share is not adjusted for any dilution that results in a loss per share that is lower than loss per ordinary share before dilution. Standards issued but not yet effective There were a number of standards and interpretations which were issued but were not yet effective at December 31, 2021 and have not been adopted for these financial statements: ● Amendment to IAS 37 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets, Onerous Contracts— Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (January 1, 2022) ● Amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment, proceeds before intended use (January 1, 2022) ● Annual Improvements 2018-2020 (January 1, 2022) ● Amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Disclosure of Accounting Policies (January 1, 2023) ● Amendment to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates (January 1, 2023) ● Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases: COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions beyond June 30, 2021 (April 1, 2021) The Company expects to adopt these standards, updates and interpretations when they become mandatory.

Significant Accounting Judgements, Estimates, and Assumptions | Note 4. Significant Accounting Judgements, Estimates, and Assumptions The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS as issued by the IASB requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. The critical accounting policies which involve significant estimates, assumptions or judgements, the actual outcome of which could have a material impact on the Company’s results and financial position outlined below, are as follows: Share-based compensation Management determines costs for share-based payments using market-based valuation techniques. The fair value of the share awards is determined at the date of grant using generally accepted valuation techniques or valuation based on the Company’s fundraising events. Assumptions are made and judgments are used in applying valuation techniques. Prior to the Company’s IPO completed in February 2021, these assumptions and judgments include estimating the fair value for the underlying Ordinary share on the warrant grant date, as well as the likelihood of liquidity events such as IPOs. Such judgments and assumptions are inherently uncertain. Changes in these assumptions affect the fair value estimates as well as the term applied to the expense recognition. Subsequent to the Company’s IPO completed in February 2021, determining the initial fair value and subsequent accounting for equity awards require significant judgment regarding expected life and volatility of an equity award; however, as a public listed company there is objective evidence of the fair value of an ordinary share on the date an equity award is granted. Refer to Note 8 for further detail surrounding share-based compensation. Leasehold Improvements and Loan from Lessor A significant judgment was made in respect of determining whether customization of leased premises forms part of the lease or is a leasehold improvement funded by the lessor. See the section “Leasehold improvements and Loan from lessor” in Note 2. There have been no other changes to the application of critical accounting judgments, or estimation uncertainties regarding accounting estimates.We refer to note 2 for a summary of significant accounting policies for further discussion. |

Financial Instruments and Risk Management | Note 5. Financial Instruments and Risk Management Financial risk management and risk management framework In terms of financial risks, the Company has exposure to liquidity risk and market risk comprising foreign exchange risk. This note presents information about the Company’s exposure to each of the above risks together with the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risks. The Company’s Board of Directors monitors each of these risks on a regular basis and implements policies as and when they are required. Details of the current risk management policies are provided below. Liquidity risk The exposure to liquidity risk primarily relates to the risk of failure to meet the Company’s obligations when they become due, which could happen if current assets are not enough to cover the amount of short-term liabilities. The Company has been dependent on its shareholders to fund its operations. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise financing to enable it to complete its product development and clinical trials. Management has determined that there is not substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the latest balance sheet date. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our available liquidity, comprised of cash and cash equivalents, was $32.2 million and $5.8 million, respectively and our total equity was $32.4 million and $7.0 million, respectively. On February 5, 2021, the Company completed our initial public offering through which we issued and sold 3,000,000 ADSs, each of which represents one ordinary share, at a price to the public of $10.00 per ADS. We received aggregate net proceeds of $25.3 million from the initial public offering, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by us. Upon the completion of the initial public offering, our registered, issued , and outstanding share capital was nominal DKK 19,198,668 divided into 19,198,668 ordinary shares of DKK 1 each. On November 9, 2021, we completed a follow-on public offering through which we issued and sold 3,942,856 ADSs, each of which represents one ordinary share, at a price to the public of $7.00 per ADS. The shares issued were inclusive of the 514,285 ADSs issued to the underwriters pursuant to the full exercise of their option to purchase additional shares on November 5, 2021. We received aggregate net proceeds of $24.9 million from the follow-on public offering, which includes the funds received for the additional shares issued to the underwriters, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by us. Upon the completion of the follow-on public offering, the Company’s registered, issued , and outstanding share capital was nominal DKK 23,141,524. At year end, due to warrant exercise, the outstanding share capital was nominal DKK 23,203,808. We expect that the net proceeds from our initial public offering, our cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through at least 12 months subsequent to the issuance of this annual report. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to their reputation. The following are the contractual undiscounted outflows associated with the Company’s financial liabilities in the current and prior year: December 31, 2021 (USD in thousands) Carrying Contractual amount cash flows <1 year 1 – 5 years >5 years Total Loan from lessor (1) $ 1,170 $ 1,458 $ 192 $ 769 $ 497 $ 1,458 Lease liabilities 2,520 3,698 326 1,223 2,149 3,698 Trade payables 2,848 2,848 2,848 — — 2,848 Provisions 153 153 — — 153 153 Other payables 46 46 46 — — 46 Total $ 6,737 $ 8,203 $ 3,412 $ 1,992 $ 2,799 $ 8,203 (1) The loan amount as of December 31, 2021 is still subject to possible minor adjustment. Further information is provided in Note 17. December 31, 2020 (USD in thousands) Carrying Contractual amount cash flows <1 year 1 – 5 years >5 years Total Lease liabilities $ 20 $ 20 $ 20 $ — $ — $ 20 Trade payables 3,673 3,673 3,673 — — 3,673 Other payables 180 180 180 — — 180 Total $ 3,873 $ 3,873 $ 3,873 $ — $ — $ 3,873 The financial liabilities include estimated or contractual interest rate payments. Market risk Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The type of market risk that impacts the Company is currency risk. The Company does not currently have any loans or holdings that have variable interest rate. Accordingly, the Company is not exposed to material interest rate risk. Foreign currency risk Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The primary exposure derives from the Company’s operating expenses paid in foreign currencies, mainly USD and Australian dollars. This exposure is known as transaction exposure. Any reasonable or likely movements in foreign exchange rates would not have a material impact on the Company’s operating results. The Company’s policy for managing foreign currency risks is to convert cash received from financing activities to currencies consistent with the Company’s expected cash outflows. Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument, leading to a financial loss for the Company. The Company’s exposure to credit risk is limited to deposits with banks with high credit ratings. Accordingly, the Company does not have material credit risk and no provision for credit risk is recognized. Capital management The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. The Company raises capital from the issue of equity, grants or convertible loan notes. On a regular basis, management receives financial and operational performance reports that enable management to assess the adequacy of resources on hand and the Company’s liquidity position to determine future financing needs. Fair values Financial instruments measured at fair value in the statements of financial position are grouped into three levels of fair value hierarchy. This grouping is determined based on the lowest level of significant inputs used in fair value measurement, as follows: 1. Level I – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 2. Level II – inputs other than quoted prices included within Level I that are observable for the instrument, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). 3. Level III – inputs for instrument that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). There were no financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. Convertible debt instruments The Company’s convertible debt instruments are Level III financial instruments and are carried at fair value through profit and loss. The convertible debt instruments were valued based on the present value of a probability weighting of the mutually exclusive settlement alternatives. Key inputs for this valuation were: (i) the exchange rate between USD and DKK, (ii) the discount rate on the issuance, (iii) the probability of a qualifying financing event and (iv) the Company’s share price. The most significant assumptions used in the valuation were the: Company’s share price, the probability of a qualifying financing event, the discount rate and the USD to DKK exchange rate. An increase or decrease in the key input ranging from 10 percent, depending on the input analyzed, would not result in a material change in the fair value of the convertible debt instruments. There were transfers into out any classification See Note 20 for the change in fair value of convertible debt during the year ended December 31, 2019. |

Share-Based Payments | Note 8. Share-Based Payments Warrant Program and Amendments The Company’s Articles of Association allow for the granting of equity compensation, in the form of equity settled warrants, to employees, consultants and Scientific Advisory Board members who provide services similar to employees, members of executive management, and the board of directors. The warrants granted in 2018 or before become exercisable upon an exit event, which triggers an immediate vesting, or at any time as determined by the board of directors in accordance with the terms of the plan. The warrants granted in 2021 vest gradually over 36 months after grant date or in the case of warrants to the Board of Directors vest immediately. The warrants granted in 2020 vest either gradually over 36 months or vest immediately. Vested warrants granted in 2020 are exercisable in certain exercise windows beginning in the second half of the year of 2021. Warrants granted up until 2019 expire on December 31, 2036. Warrants granted in 2021 and 2020 expire on December 31, 2032 and 2031, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the number of warrants outstanding as a percentage of outstanding ordinary shares was 11.8%, 13.8% and 13.5%, respectively. In the second quarter of 2021, the Company granted 62,147 warrants to its Chief Medical Officer (“CMO”) which vest over 36 months . In 2019, the Company granted 150,660 warrants to its Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) which were exercisable upon an exit event. In December 2020, the terms of the warrants issued to the Company’s CFO were amended to no longer comprise exercisability upon an exit event. Consequently, these warrants did not vest upon the IPO in February 2021 and will vest in accordance with the vesting schedule for warrants granted in 2020. On January 4, 2021, the Company’s board of directors and shareholders approved (i) a 2-for-1 stock split of its issued and outstanding ordinary shares and (ii) a bonus share issuance in the ratio of 17-for-1 of its issued and outstanding ordinary shares. The stock split also resulted in a reduction of the nominal value of the Company’s ordinary shares from DKK 2 to DKK 1. In accordance with the anti-dilution provisions of the warrant agreements, the number of warrants was increased by a ratio of 36 and the exercise price was decreased from DKK 2 to 1 DKK. Accordingly, information related to the Company’s warrants, have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split and the bonus shares for all periods presented. The following schedule specifies the granted warrants: Weighted Weighted Average Average Remaining Number of Exercise Contractual warrants Price/Share Life (years) Warrants granted as at December 31, 2018 1,674,324 DKK 1 18 Warrants granted (1) 257,832 DKK 1 17 Warrants granted as at December 31, 2019 1,932,156 DKK 1 17 Warrants granted 363,168 DKK 1 11 Warrants forfeited (45,216) DKK 1 16 Warrants cancelled (22,032) DKK 1 16 Warrants granted as at December 31, 2020 2,228,076 DKK 1 15 Warrants granted during 2021 (2) 63,802 DKK 1 10 Warrants granted December 2021 523,599 USD 5.38 10 Warrants exercised (62,284) (3) DKK 1 Warrants forfeited (10,178) 1 Warrants cancelled (10,397) 1 Warrants granted as at December 31, 2021 2,732,618 DKK 7.53 (4) 13 Warrants exercisable as at December 31, 2019 — — — Warrants exercisable as at December 31, 2020 — — — Warrants exercisable as at December 31, 2021 2,072,122 (1) (2) Of which 62,147 warrants were legally granted in June 2021 and the remaining 1,655 warrants were legally granted in December 2020. (3) The share price at the exercise date was USD 5.59. (4) December 31, 2021 USD-end rate used. During 2019 employees, external consultants, executive management and board members became contractually entitled to warrants that was rectified on December 17, 2020: ● In January 2019, 45,216 warrants granted to a member of executive management. They vest from December 2020 – December 2022. Fair value at grant date amounted to $0.3 million. ● In February 2019, 7,956 warrants granted to an employee.

Share-based compensation expenses included in the statements of comprehensive loss: Years Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 (USD in thousands) Research and development expenses $ 1,051 $ 1,496 $ 1,021 General and administrative expenses 328 1,912 1,341 Total $ 1,379 $ 3,408 $ 2,362 In 2020 an amount of $0.1 million related to warrants issued as compensation for arranging investors to subscribe for shares has been recognized in equity as a share-based compensation expense related to the capital increase. Determination of Fair Value of Warrants The warrants issued under the share-based payment arrangement until December 2021 are exercisable for nominal consideration compared to the fair value of the shares resulting in virtually no time value. The Company values these warrants based on the intrinsic value of the shares measured as the difference between the fair value of the Company’s Ordinary shares and the warrant exercise price. Due to the highly specialized nature of services provided by consultants who provide services similar to those provided by employees of the Company, transactions with those consultants are measured at fair value of the equity instruments granted. Under the share-based payment arrangement, there is no protection against capital increases at a discount and dividend distribution. However, dividends are not likely to be distributed and there is generally no reason to raise new capital at below the current share price. On this basis, the Company has assessed that it is generally appropriate to assume that no such transactions will take place during the holding period. When issuing warrants in 2018, convertible bonds with a potential dilutive effect were outstanding, and fair value was adjusted to reflect this potential dilution. The stock split and bonus share issuance executed on January 4, 2021 resulted in a dilution of the warrant holders due to the increase of the exercise price compared to the pre stock split and bonus share issue. For warrants granted on December 17, 2020, the fair value was adjusted to reflect this dilution. For other grants, no such adjustment has been made. The fair values of the warrants are measured with reference to the share price of the underlying share. Up until December 2020, this share value was determined using the value established in different financing transactions with unrelated parties. In each of these transactions, the relative ownership of the Company was changed, and a share value was established using these fund-raising transactions. The fair values of warrants are estimated using a linear interpolation in USD of the share value on grant date based on the value established on capital event dates before and after the grant date. For warrants granted in December 2020, the Probability-Weighted Expected Return Method (“PWERM”) was applied, based on the weighted value of the share in a stay private scenario and an IPO scenario. 40% weight was put to the stay private scenario applying a share price equal to the share price of USD 8.89 at the November 2020 capital increase and 60% weight was put to the IPO scenario applying the mid-price of the indicative IPO price range of USD 11.00 available on the balance sheet. A 10% lack of marketability discount (DLOM) was applied to the IPO price. Warrants granted prior to December 2020 are exercisable only upon an exit event or upon the Board of Director’s decisions, which is a post vesting restriction. Since the warrants granted prior to 2020 do not expire until December 31, 2036, Management considers it highly unlikely that the warrants will not become exercisable and no downward adjustment to reflect the risk of the warrant not becoming exercisable is made to the fair value of the warrants. During 2020, the Company revised the estimated date of an IPO exit event to occur in February 2021. As of December 31, 2019, the estimated IPO exit event was December 2021. As a result of this change in estimate, the Company recognized an acceleration of expense of $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Subsequent to the Company’s initial public offering completed in February 2021, determining the initial fair value and subsequent accounting for equity awards require significant judgment regarding expected life and volatility of an equity award; however, as a public listed company there is objective evidence of the fair value of an ordinary share on the date an equity award is granted. Due to the fact that as of 2021, warrants was granted at the share price on the date of grant, fair value comprises a time value which is significantly affected by the expected life and estimated volatility. The expected life of a warrant is based on the assumption that the holder will not exercise until after the equity award is fully vested. Actual exercise patterns may differ from the assumption used herein. The estimated volatility is based on peer group data and reflects the assumption that the historical volatility over a period similar to the life of the warrant is indicative of future trends, which may not necessarily be the actual outcome. The peer group consists of listed companies that management believes are similar to the Company in respect to industry and stage of development. Even with objective evidence of the fair value of an ordinary share, small changes in any other individual assumption or in combination with other assumptions could have resulted in significantly different valuations. The following assumptions have been applied for the warrants issued in December 2021: Expected term (in years) 6.5 Risk-free interest rate 1.34 Expected volatility 85.0 % Share price $ 4.20 The exercise price of the warrants issued in June 2021 was DKK 1 and consequently, the warrants have virtually no time value. Therefore, fair value of the warrants has been determined as the intrinsic value based on a share price of $6.24. Amendments to Warrants As discussed above, the terms of the warrant granted to the company’s CFO were amended to no longer comprise an accelerated vesting upon an exit clause. This is considered a non-beneficial change, and consequently the accelerated vesting upon an exit event clause is deemed to continue to exist. For warrants to which the employees became entitled in 2019 but were not granted until December 2020, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expenses during the year ended December 31, 2019 and the interim period ended September 30, 2020, based on the terms expected to apply for these awards. Management expected the terms to be similar to the terms applicable to warrants granted up until 2018, including the accelerated vesting upon an exit clause. However, these warrants were granted subjected to a vesting schedule up to three years and did not allow for immediate vesting upon an exit event. Because the warrants were not granted until December 2020, the Company recognized the difference in expenses as a change in accounting estimate and not a modification of existing awards. As a result of this change in the accounting estimate, the share-based payment expense for 2020 was reduced by $0.4 million.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share | Note 11. Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable for the year to shareholders of Evaxion Biotech A/S by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. As net losses from continuing operations were recorded in the years 2021, 2020 and 2019, the dilutive potential shares are anti-dilutive for the earnings per share calculation.

Intangible assets | Note 12. Intangible Assets In June 2020, the Company entered into a license agreement for the rights to certain intellectual properties. Upon execution of the license agreement, the Company was obligated to make a milestone payment of $35,000. The agreement remains in effect until the Company completes a Phase I/IIa clinical study, after that the Company has an option to extend the agreement for an additional 10-year term. Over the initial term of the agreement, the Company is obligated to make various additional milestone payments based on the progress of developed drug candidates. The Company determined that the milestone payments meet the definition of intangible assets and will be capitalized. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, the Company capitalized $35,000 as intangible assets for the acquisition of a non-exclusive technology license. Subject to meeting certain development milestones, additional consideration of up to $320,000 is to be transferred to the seller. Further, $250,000 is to be transferred to the seller upon each regulatory approval of an Evaxion product utilizing the in-licensed technology. As of December 31, 2020, the Company accrued for an additional $60,000 related to the license. The Company did not recognize any amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 as the asset has not been put in use. No intangible assets were recognized in earlier periods as the Company’s expenditures did not qualify for capitalization. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, the Company capitalized $60,000 as intangible assets for the acquisition of a non-exclusive technology license from SSI. Subject to successful commercialization of any Evaxion product utilizing the in-licensed technology, Evaxion is required to pay to the seller a royalty on net sales in the low teens. In the event any Evaxion product utilizing the in-licensed technology are commercialized by one of the Company’s partners, Evaxion is required to pay to the seller a percentage of any out-licensing revenue earned by the Company or its affiliates. If Evaxion enters into a sublicense agreement with a partner subsequent to the initiation of a Phase 2b clinical trial, Evaxion is required to pay to the seller a percentage of any sublicensing income in an amount in the lower double-digit range. If Evaxion enters into a sublicense agreement with a partner subsequent to the initiation of a Phase 3 trial, Evaxion is required to pay to the seller a percentage of any sublicensing income in the lower double-digit range. If Evaxion enters into a sublicense agreement with a partner without initiating a Phase 2b trial, Evaxion is required to pay to SSI a percentage of any sublicensing income in the mid double-digit range. The Company did not recognize any amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020 as the asset has not been put in use.

Leases | Note 17. Leases As a result of the lease accounting of IFRS 16, the Company has capitalized the only right-of-use asset being the domicile lease. Upon implementation on January 1, 2018, the Company has recognized a liability to make lease payments (i.e. the lease liabilities) of $0.2 million and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term (i.e. the right-to-use asset) of $0.2 million. The liability was measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as of the standard adoption date of January 1, 2018. The Company applied an incremental borrowing rate of 3.8%. For the years ended December 31, 2019,2020 and 2021, the expense related to variable lease payments not included in the lease liabilities was immaterial and was recognized in operating expense. In October 2020, the Company entered into a lease for approximately 1,356 square meters, which is allocated on 839 square meters of office space, and 518 square meters of laboratory space in Hørsholm, Denmark. The commencement date for the lease of the 839 square meters of office space was February 1, 2021 and the lease continues for a term of 10 years from that date. The commencement date for the additional laboratory space was August 13, 2021 and the lease continues for a term of 10 years with a subsequent 12-month cancellation notice period. The lease agreement contains an early termination provision which would trigger a termination fee of $2.7 million. The initial monthly payment is expected to be between $28,000 and $30,000, which consists of $12,000 for the office space, and is expected to be between $16,000 and $18,000 for the laboratory space. Through-out the term, the lease is subject to annual increases ranging from two to four percent on the annual lease payment amount. The Company had one operating lease in Copenhagen, Denmark as of December 31, 2020. We also occupied an office space in New York, New York, United States. The terms of the lease agreement included a 13 month occupancy period from January 2, 2020 through January 31, 2021. A termination notice was provided in November 2020 and the lease and occupancy terminated on January 31, 2021. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the expense related to variable lease payments not included in the lease liabilities was immaterial and was recognized in operating expense. Set out below are the carrying amounts of the Company’s right-of-use assets and lease liabilities and the movements during the period: Right-of-Use Asset Lease liabilities (USD in thousands) At December 31, 2020 $ 20 $ 20 Additions 2,891 2,731 Depreciation (179) — Interest Expense — 123 Payments — (226) Translation (131) (128) At December 31, 2021 $ 2,601 $ 2,520 Right-of-Use Asset Lease liabilities (USD in thousands) At December 31, 2019 $ 35 $ 36 Additions 54 54 Depreciation (73) — Interest Expense — — Payments 4 (74) Translation — 4 At December 31, 2020 $ 20 $ 20 The total cash outflow for leases was $0.2 million in 2021, and $0.2 million in 2020. Loan from Lessor In addition to the ordinary lease payments, the Company obtained financing from DTU Science Park A/S (“DTU”) for rebuilding the laboratory facility and engineering building to match the Company’s needs. The Company will repay the $1.3 million financing at a fixed interest rate of 6% over 8 years . If the lease is terminated due to default by the Company before the outstanding balance, including interest accrued, has been repaid, the remaining balance is due immediately. The finance liability is recorded at costs, which approximates fair value at the time of issuance. As of December 31, 2021, the Company is still in discussions with DTU on the actual costs incurred. As a result of the finance structure this amount is not included as Purchase of property and equipment within the consolidated statements of cash flows. The leasehold improvements recognized will be subject for adjustment when the actual costs incurred are made available from DTU. The following table sets forth the finance liability (in thousands): December 31, 2021 Loan from lessor $ 1,170 Total Loan from lessor 1,170 Less: Loan from lessor, current portion (126) Total Loan from lessor, net of current portion $ 1,044 |

Capital Structure and Financial Matters | Note 19. Capital Structure and Financial Matters Share Capital – Ordinary Shares Loss of subscribed share capital On December 31, 2018, the Company had lost more than 50% of its subscribed share capital. At the annual general meeting of the shareholders held on March 29, 2019, the Board of Directors gave, in accordance with section 119 of the Danish Companies Act, an account of the Company’s financial position. As part of the account, the Board of Directors stated that in its view, special actions were not required. The share capital of the Company was subsequently re-established through the conversion of the convertible debt instruments and issue of new shares during 2019. Capital transactions In September 2020, the Company issued 745,380 shares of ordinary shares to existing investors in the Company. The purchase price was $8.89 per share for aggregate proceeds of $6.6 million. The Company incurred immaterial issuance costs. The proceeds were received by the Company on September 17, 2020. On August 10, 2020, the Company’s articles of association were amended in connection with the execution of this transaction. The revised articles increased the authorized number of shares the Company can issue by: (i) the 745,380 shares issued in this transaction, as well as (ii) an additional 1,800,000 shares of Common ordinary share at a nominal price of DKK 1, to be issued any time prior to June 1, 2025. The amended articles also allow the Company to issue an additional 1,298,196 of compensatory ordinary share warrants to employees and consultants any time prior to June 1, 2025. In October 2020, we successfully completed part 2 of our “bridging round” of capital with outside investors in the amount of $2.4 million with a purchase price of $8.89 per share from the issuance of 269,136 of our ordinary shares and received the proceeds in November 2020. Transaction costs directly attributable to the third quarter of 2020 “bridging round” of capital with outside investors have a total amount of $144,022. In February 2021, we completed our IPO through which we issued and sold 3,000,000 American Depositary Shares, or ADSs, each of which represents one ordinary share, at a price to the public of $10.00 per ADS. We received aggregate net proceeds of $25.3 million from the IPO, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. Upon the completion of the IPO, our registered, issued, and outstanding share capital was nominal DKK 19,198,668. In November 2021, we completed a follow-on public offering through which we issued and sold 3,942,856 ADSs, each of which represents one ordinary share, at a price to the public of $7.00 per ADS. The shares issued were inclusive of the 514,285 ADSs issued to the underwriters pursuant to the full exercise of their option to purchase additional shares on November 5, 2021. The Company received aggregate net proceeds of $24.9 million from the follow-on public offering, which includes the funds received for the additional shares issued to the underwriters, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. Upon the completion of the follow-on public offering, the Company’s registered, issued , and outstanding share capital was nominal DKK 23,141,524. At year end, due to warrant exercise, the outstanding share capital was nominal DKK 23,203,808.

Convertible Debt Instruments | Note 20. Convertible Debt Instruments During 2018, the Company issued two types of convertible debt instruments, (“Convertible Debt 1”) and one (“Convertible Debt 2”) for total proceeds of $8.0 million, of which $0.1 million was received from related parties, including members of the Board of Directors and Executive Management. The Company originally recorded both debt instruments at fair value as a financial liability and subsequently remeasured the instruments with the change being presented on the statement of comprehensive income for the reporting period. In July 2019, both instruments were converted into ordinary shares as a result of a qualified capital increase triggering a conversion based on the terms of the agreements. The following table summarizes the changes in the convertible debt instruments during the year ended December 31, 2019: Convertible loans (USD in thousands) Carrying amount at December 31, 2018 $ 8,569 Amount received in 2019 152 Fair value adjustment included in finance expenses 1,183 Currency adjustment (209) Converted to equity during 2019 (9,695) Carrying amount at December 31, 2019 $ — The main terms of Convertible Debt 1 were: ● Term: 12 months from issuance; ● Interest coupon 7.5 percent p.a. accruing over the term of the loan; ● Loan currencies: $0.9 million is USD denominated and $1.0 million is denominated in DKK (DKK 7.1 million); ● Lender conversion option if a capital increase in excess of DKK 9.8 million (or a qualified capital increase event) takes place before maturity. The conversion price is the share price obtained at the qualified capital increase event less a 20 percent discount; ● Repayment in cash of principal + accrued interest at a premium of 50 percent if all shares of the Company are sold; and ● Lender conversion option to a fixed number of shares if the loan has not been repaid or converted under the other settlement terms of the agreement. The main terms of Convertible Debt 2 were: ● Term: Expires on December 31, 2020; ● Interest coupon 7.5 percent p.a. accruing over the term of the loan; ● Loan currencies: $5.4 million is USD denominated and $0.7 million is denominated in DKK (DKK 5.0 million); ● Mandatory conversion if a capital increase in excess of $10.0 million (qualified capital increase) takes place before maturity. The conversion price is the share price obtained less a 5 percent discount if the capital increase take place in 2018, 10 percent if it takes place in 2019 and 20 percent if it takes place in 2020; ● Repayment in cash of principal + accrued interest at a premium of 50% if all shares of the Company are sold; and ● Mandatory conversion at maturity with a conversion price of $160.41 . 10 days before conversion, USD denominated loans will convert into DKK whereas the conversion price remains denominated in USD. Convertible debt instruments were classified as financial liabilities until such time that the Company had an unconditional right to avoid settlement in cash and had no obligation to settle in a variable number of shares. For Convertible Debt 1, the Company did not have an unconditional right to avoid settlement in cash. In addition, Convertible Debt 2 comprised an obligation to settle in a variable number of shares at maturity. Therefore, both convertible debt instruments comprised a debt host instrument. Conversion features comprising a fixed number of the entity’s shares in exchange for a fixed principal in the entity’s functional currency were equity instruments and separated from the debt host contract as the residual between fair value of the contract and fair value of a similar debt instrument without the conversion feature. All other equity conversion features were embedded derivatives. Both convertible debt instruments included a conversion feature resulting in settlement in a variable number of shares. Consequently, none of the instruments comprised an equity component. They included the following non-closely related embedded derivatives: ● At maturity conversion options for Convertible Debt Instrument 1; ● At maturity conversion provisions for Convertible Debt Instrument 2; ● Early settlement mechanism on both issuances through delivery of a variable number of shares at a discounted price; and ● Change of control prepayment provision. |

Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine On February 24, 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine creating a global conflict. The resulting conflict and retaliatory measures by the global community have created global security concerns, including the possibility of expanded regional or global conflict, which have had, and are likely to continue to have, short-term and more likely longer-term adverse impacts on Ukraine and Europe and around the globe. Potential ramifications include disruption of the supply chain including research activities and complications with the conduct of ongoing and future clinical trials of our product candidates, including patient enrollment. The Company relies on global networks of contract research organizations and clinical trial sites to enroll patients, Delays in research activities or in the conduct of our clinical trials could increase associated costs and, depending upon the duration of any delays, require us to find alternative suppliers at additional expense. In addition, the conflict between Russia and the Ukraine has had significant ramifications on global financial markets, which may adversely impact our ability to raise capital on favorable terms or at all. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Basis of preparation | Basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. The Company adopted IFRS in 2019 and applied it from the beginning of the period preceding adoption, starting on January 1, 2018. Management has assessed the impact of new or amended and revised accounting standards and interpretations (IFRSs) issued by the IASB and IFRSs endorsed by the European Union effective on or after January 1, 2021. It is assessed that application of amendments effective from January 1, 2021 has not had a material impact on the consolidated financial statements for 2021. Furthermore, Management does not anticipate any significant impact on future periods from the adoption of these amendments. The financial statements are presented in the Company’s presentation currency, U.S. dollar (“USD”) which is not the functional currency of the parent company. The Group’s financial statements are presented in USD as the result of the Company’s publicly listing the ADSs in the United States. The company’s functional currency is DKK for Denmark, AUD for Australia, and USD for the United States. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis using a historical cost basis. All financial assets and liabilities are measured at amortized cost unless otherwise stated. |
Reclassifications of prior period presentation | Reclassifications of prior period presentation Certain items in prior year consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. |
Basis of consolidation | Basis of consolidation The audited consolidated financial statements of the Company comprise the Statement of Financial Position as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the Statement of Comprehensive Loss for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The Company controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and can affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the audited consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company. Control is reassessed whenever facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes of the control. All intra-Group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses, and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation. |
Retrospective effect of share split and bonus share issuance | Retrospective effect of share split and bonus share issuance All share and per share data, including that related to warrants, in the consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to a 2:1 share split and a bonus issue of shares in the ratio of 17:1 of the Company’s authorized, issued and outstanding ordinary shares, which was effective on January 4, 2021, with the corresponding impacts on both share capital and share premium also retroactively recognized. |
Currency translation of transactions and balances | Currency translation of transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized as financial income or financial expenses in the statements of comprehensive loss. Non-monetary items in foreign currency which are measured at cost at the statements of financial position date are translated using the exchange rates at the date of the transaction. |
Translation of foreign operations | Translation of foreign operations Assets and liabilities in the Company’s functional currency, DKK and AUD, for Denmark and Australia, respectively, are translated to the Company’s presentation currency at the exchange rate applicable on December 31 for the respective year. Income and expenses in the Company’s functional currency are translated to USD at the average exchange rate which corresponds to an approximation of the exchange rates prevailing on each individual transaction date. Translation differences arising in the translation to presentation currency are recognized in other comprehensive income. |
Research and development expenses | Research and development expenses Research and development expenses are primarily internal and external costs incurred in the development of the Company’s product candidates, including personnel costs, share-based compensation, external research and development expenses, maintenance of the Company’s patents, overhead allocation and enhancements and maintenance of the Company’s technology platforms. The research activities are comprised of activities performed before filing an IND or equivalent and necessary pre-clinical activities for such product candidates. All research expenses are recognized in the period in which they are incurred and payments made prior to the receipt of goods or services to be used in research and development are deferred until the goods or services are received. The Company records accruals for estimated research and development costs, comprising payments for work performed by third-party contractors and others. Payments for these activities are based on the terms of the individual agreements, which may differ from the timing of the expense recognition of these costs, in which case, they are reflected in the financial statements as either prepaid- or accrued expenses. The development activities are comprised of the activities performed following the filing of an IND or equivalent clinical-enabling activities for such product candidates, including but not limited to, research and clinical development activities. In line with industry practice, internal and subcontracted development costs are expensed as incurred. Due to regulatory uncertainties and other uncertainties inherent in the development of new products, development expenses do not qualify for capitalization as intangible assets until marketing approval by a regulatory authority is obtained or considered highly probable. To date, the Company has not incurred any development costs which qualified for capitalization. |
Contract Research Organizations expenses and related prepayments and accruals | Contract Research Organizations expenses and related prepayments and accruals Substantial portions of the Company’s clinical studies are performed by third-party laboratories, medical centers, contract research organizations and other vendors (collectively, the “CROs”). The CROs generally bill monthly or quarterly for services performed. For studies, the Company accrues expenses based upon estimated percentage of work completed. The Company’s estimates depend on the timeliness and accuracy of the data provided by the CROs regarding the status of each program and total program spending. The Company evaluates the estimates to determine if adjustments are necessary or appropriate based on information received. CROs invoice the Company upon the occurrence of predetermined contractual or activity-based milestones; however, the timing of these invoices and the Company’s related payments often do not correspond directly to the level of performance of contracted activities. To the extent payments are made by the Company in advance of the related activities performed by the CROs, they are included in prepayments to clinical research organizations and expensed when the activities performed by the CROs. To the extent the payments are made by the Company following the performance of the related activities, the expense is accrued for as a payable to clinical research organizations. |
Intellectual property | Intellectual property The Company actively seeks to create, maintain and protect intellectual property and proprietary information and technology that is considered important to the Company’s business, which includes seeking and maintaining patents covering proprietary technology, product candidates, proprietary processes and any other inventions that are commercially and / or strategically important to the Company’s business development. These expenses are expensed as incurred and not capitalized as intangible assets until marketing approval by a regulatory authority is obtained or considered highly probable. The Company has not incurred any costs that qualify for capitalization. |
Income from government grants | Income from government grants The Company receives grants for certain research and development activities. The grant income is recognized as a reduction of research and development expenses in the period in which the underlying expenditures were incurred and when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with all conditions to receive the grant income. Government grants comprise direct grants and tax credits related to qualifying research and development costs in excess of the corporate tax rate. Tax credits in an amount up to the corporate tax rate are classified as income tax benefits. |
General and administrative expenses | General and administrative expenses General and administrative expenses consist primarily of fees paid to external consultants and personnel costs, including share-based compensation for the Company’s executive, finance, corporate and business development functions. In addition, general and administrative expenses also include depreciation and other expenses for the Company’s corporate headquarters as well as other allocated overhead. |
Share-based payments | Share-based payments The Company issues warrants as an incentive to employees and non-employees. The fair value of the warrants granted is recognized as an expense with a corresponding credit to accumulated deficit. The fair value is expensed over the requisite service period of the awards. The expense recognition is based on an estimate of the number of warrants expected to vest. The estimate is reassessed regularly, and on a cumulative basis, the expense is equal to the fair value of the number of warrants which actually vest. For employees and consultants providing services similar to employees of the Company, the fair value of the equity instruments is determined at the date of grant resulting in a fixed fair value at grant date that is not adjusted for future changes in the fair value of the equity awards that may occur over the service period. The grant date is defined as the date at which the parties agree to the contractual terms. For consultants providing other services that are not similar to employees of the Company, the transactions are measured at the fair value of the services received unless this is not reliably measurable. In such cases, the transactions are measured at fair value of the equity instruments granted at the dates when the services are provided. Modification of warrants which are beneficial are accounted for with their incremental value or over the shorter vesting period. Non-beneficial modifications such as an extension of the vesting period are not accounted for. Consequently, the original terms are deemed to continue to exist. The Company estimates the fair value of warrants using the underlying value of the Company's ordinary shares. Since the warrants granted before December 2020 are exercisable for nominal consideration, the warrants are valued using the fair value of the Company's ordinary shares on grant date less the exercise consideration. Warrants granted during 2021 are valued using a black-scholes share option pricing model. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. The key assumption in this estimate is the fair value of the Company's ordinary share on the warrant grant date. |
Post-employment benefit costs | Post-employment benefit costs The Company contributes to a defined contribution plan covering eligible employees. The contribution amount is based upon a fixed percentage of employee compensation and such contributions are expensed as incurred. |
Accounting for joint operations - Southern Denmark University | Accounting for joint operations – Southern Denmark University The Company enters into agreements from time to time that may be subject to the requirements of IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements Southern Denmark University Accounting for joint operations - MSD International GmbH and MSD International Business GmbH The Company has entered into a collaboration agreement with MSD International GmbH and MSD International Business GmbH (jointly ‘MSD’). Under the arrangement, the Company will share its clinical trial in which the Company’s compound and MSD’s compound is dosed in combination. In determining the accounting treatment for these types of arrangements, the Company carefully evaluates the relationship between the two parties in order to determine whether the arrangement is, in substance, a collaboration arrangement between the two parties (to be accounted for in accordance with IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements), or rather, a vendor-customer contract (to be accounted for in accordance with IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers). Management has determined that MSD does not meet the definition of a customer under IFRS 15. Consequently, the arrangement is classified as a collaboration arrangement and is accounted for as a joint operation in accordance with IFRS 11 resulting in the recognition of the Company’s own income and expense and assets and liabilities, respectively. |
Finance Income | Finance Income Finance income is comprised primarily of foreign currency gains. |
Finance Expense | Finance Expense Finance expense is comprised primarily of changes in fair value of the Company’s convertible debt instruments and interest on the Company’s lease liability. |
Income tax | Income tax The income tax for the period comprises current and deferred tax, including prior-year adjustments and changes in provisions for uncertain tax positions. Tax is recognized in the statement of comprehensive loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in equity. Research and development tax credits are available to the Group under the tax laws of Denmark and Australia respectively, based on qualifying research and development spend as defined under those tax laws. Tax credits not exceeding the corporate tax rate are recognized as an income tax benefit. Tax credits in excess of the corporate tax rate are classified as government grants. Accruals for uncertain tax positions and/or valuation of government grant receivables require management to make judgments of potential exposures. Accruals for uncertain tax positions and/or valuation of government grant receivables are measured using either the most likely amount or the expected value amount, depending on which method the entity expects to better predict the resolution of the uncertainty. Tax benefits are not recognized unless the tax positions will probably be accepted by the tax authorities. This is based upon management’s interpretation of applicable laws and regulations and the expectation of how the tax authority will resolve the matter. Once considered probable of not being accepted, management reviews each material tax benefit and reflects the effect of the uncertainty in determining the related taxable amounts. |
Deferred taxes | Deferred taxes Deferred tax is measured according to the liability method on all temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax base of assets and liabilities. Where the tax value can be determined according to alternative tax rules, deferred tax is measured on the basis of the planned use of the asset or the settlement of the obligation. Deferred tax assets are measured at the value at which they are expected to be utilized, either through elimination against tax on future earnings or through a set-off against deferred tax liabilities. Deferred tax assets are set off within the same legal tax entity and jurisdiction. Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Given the complexity of existing contractual agreements, differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expenses already recorded. As at December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company has not recognized any provisions for uncertain tax positions resulting in a risk that the deferred tax asset related to warrants is lower than disclosed. The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets if it is probable that sufficient taxable income will be available in the future against which the temporary differences and unused tax losses can be utilized. Management has considered future taxable income in assessing whether deferred income tax assets should be recognized and has concluded that the deferred income tax assets do not meet the criteria for recognition as assets in the statements of financial position. |
Tax receivables | Tax receivables Current tax assets for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from the taxation authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. |
Deferred offering costs | Deferred offering costs Offering costs, consisting of legal, accounting, printer and filing fees directly attributable to the issuance of new shares relating to the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) in February 2021, were deferred and were offset against proceeds from the IPO upon the effectiveness of the offering. Deferred offering costs recorded as of December 31, 2020 were $1.7 million. |
Leases | Leases The Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognizes lease liabilities for future remaining lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets. Leasehold improvements and Loan from lessor The Company’s lease contract comprises funding for the customization of the premises to the Company’s specific needs. The payment is determined based on the actual costs incurred for the customization, a repayment period of 8 years and an interest rate of 6% per annum. The Company has assessed whether this is a lease component, or a leasehold improvement funded by the lessor. We have considered the following factors: 1. Which party designed the customization 2. Which party had the right to direct changes to the work 3. Who is taking on the economic risk of the cost price of the work A third party has designed the project according to the Company’s instructions, and the Company had the right to direct changes to the work during the construction period. Further, the Company has the full economic risk of the work due to 1 :1 linkage between construction costs and payments to the lessor. Consequently, the Company has assessed that the customization is a leasehold improvement funded by the lessor and accordingly presented a leasehold improvement and a corresponding liability for the loan from the lessor. Right-of-use assets The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset at the lease commencement date (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for certain remeasurements of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred, and restoration costs. Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the useful life of the right-of-use asset using the straight-line method. In addition, right-of-use assets are reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements. The Company’s right-of-use assets are presented within property and equipment, net. Lease liabilities At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of the following payments, when applicable: ● fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable; ● variable lease payments (linked to an index or interest rate); ● expected payments under residual value guarantees; ● the exercise price of purchase options, where exercise is reasonably certain; ● lease payments in optional renewal periods, where exercise of extension options is reasonably certain; ● and penalty payments for the termination of a lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of the respective termination option. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease if this rate can be readily determined. Otherwise, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the Company would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. Lease liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. In addition, the carrying amount of the lease liabilities are remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, or a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments). |
Intangible assets | Intangible assets The Company recognized intangible assets for licenses. Licenses are measured at cost less cumulative amortization and impairment. Cost is measured at fair value of the consideration transferred with addition of transactions costs. If additional consideration is transferred to the seller due to meeting certain milestones, these payments are added to the cost price once the conditions for making the payments are met. The capitalized assets are amortized over their useful lives, which are determined on the basis of the expected pattern of consumption of the expected future economic benefits embodied in the license or similar development agreement. Amortization commences only once the necessary regulatory and marketing approval has been received for the product candidates to which they relate. To date, the Company has not received any regulatory and marketing approval for any of its product candidates. Consequently, the Company did not recognize any amortization expense for its intangible assets. |
Property and equipment | Property and equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows: Assets Useful life Properties Shorter of lease term and useful life of the asset Leasehold improvements 11 years Other equipment 5 – 10 years |
Impairment of non-financial assets | Impairment of non-financial assets Assets are tested for impairment annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period. The Company has not |
Provisions | Provisions Provisions are recognized when we have an existing legal or constructive obligation as a result of events occurring prior to or on the balance sheet date, and it is probable that the utilization of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the expense necessary to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. Provisions that are estimated to mature after more than one year after the balance sheet date are measured at their present values, using a discount rate based on the Company’s risk adjusted incremental borrowing rate. |
Financial instruments | Financial instruments A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Financial instruments are classified at initial recognition, including on the basis of the purpose for which the instrument was acquired and managed. This classification determines the valuation of the instruments. (i) Non-derivative financial assets Non-derivative financial assets are recognized initially on the date they are originated. The Company derecognizes non-derivative financial assets when the contractual rights to cash flows expire or it transfers the right to receive cash flows in a transaction which transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset. The Company’s financial assets are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost less accumulated impairment losses. The Company holds the following categories of non-derivative financial assets: Receivables Receivables (including lease deposits, receivables and receivables from unpaid capital) represent the Company’s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). They are measured at amortized cost less impairment. Prepayments include expenditures related to future financial periods and are measured at amortized cost Cash and cash equivalents Cash is comprised of cash on hand and in bank deposit accounts. Cash equivalents are instruments with original maturities of 90 days or less. The Company does not have any cash equivalents for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. (ii) Non-derivative financial liabilities Non-derivative financial liabilities comprise other payables which are measured initially at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost. Trade Payables Trade payables and accruals relate to the Group’s purchase of products and services from various vendors in the normal course of business. Other Payables Other payables are comprised of payables to clinical research organizations, employee liabilities and other liabilities. The contract liabilities consist of CROs and vendor accruals. Employee cost liabilities are comprised of provision for holiday allowance, provision for salaries and other employee related provisions. Other liabilities consist of commitments and liabilities related to government grants received in advance. Debt Debt is comprised of debt agreements that are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. (iii) Derivative financial liabilities Convertible debt instruments During 2018, the Company issued two convertible debt instruments which are determined to be financial instruments. As required by IAS 32 and IFRS 9, these instruments were separated into their components: debt, and embedded derivatives related to the conversion features, early settlement mechanism and change of control prepayment provision. The Company elected the fair value option and accounts for both the debt and the embedded derivatives as a single instrument that is measured at fair value. Details of the significant inputs and assumptions into the fair values of these instruments are provided in Note 20. |
Segment Information | Segment Information An operating segment is a part of the Company that conducts business activities from which it can generate revenue and incur costs, and for which independent financial information is available. Identification of segments is based on internal reporting to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The CODM for the Company is the Chief Executive Officer. The Company does not divide its operations into different segments and the CODM operates and manages the Company’s entire operations as one segment, which is consistent with the Company’s internal organization and reporting system. The Company does not have any revenue and there are no material non-current assets attributable to countries other than Denmark. |
Shareholders' Equity | Shareholders’ Equity The share capital comprises the nominal amount of the company’s ordinary shares, each at a nominal value of DKK 1. Other Reserves includes the share premium comprising the amount received, attributable to shareholders’ equity, in excess of the nominal amount of the shares issued at the company’s capital increases, reduced by any expenses directly attributable to the capital increases as well as translation reserves. Translation reserves include exchange rate adjustments of equity and intragroup receivables forming part of the net investments in our group enterprises. Accumulated Deficit include the accumulated profit or loss as well as well as the reserve for share-based payment representing the corresponding entries to the share-based payment recognized in the profit or loss, arising from our warrant programs. |
Loss Per Share | Loss Per Share The calculation of basic loss per share is based on the Company’s net loss for the year attributable to shareholders of Evaxion Biotech A/S and on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. The number of shares outstanding take in effect the 2 for 1 stock split and the 17 for 1 bonus share issuance on January 4, 2021. In calculating diluted loss per share, earnings and the average number of shares are adjusted for the dilutive effects of potential ordinary shares. Loss per share is not adjusted for any dilution that results in a loss per share that is lower than loss per ordinary share before dilution. |
Standards issued but not yet effective | Standards issued but not yet effective There were a number of standards and interpretations which were issued but were not yet effective at December 31, 2021 and have not been adopted for these financial statements: ● Amendment to IAS 37 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets, Onerous Contracts— Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (January 1, 2022) ● Amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment, proceeds before intended use (January 1, 2022) ● Annual Improvements 2018-2020 (January 1, 2022) ● Amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Disclosure of Accounting Policies (January 1, 2023) ● Amendment to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates (January 1, 2023) ● Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases: COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions beyond June 30, 2021 (April 1, 2021) The Company expects to adopt these standards, updates and interpretations when they become mandatory. These standards are not expected to have a significant impact on disclosures or amounts reported in the Company’s financial statements in the period of initial application and future reporting periods. |
