Independent Auditor's Report

 

To the Board of Directors

 

Oncoceutics, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Oncoceutics, Inc., which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

 

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditor's Responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Oncoceutics, Inc. as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2020 and 2019

 

Note 1 - Nature of operations

 

Oncoceutics, Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, is developing a novel class of safe and effective cancer therapies called imipridones. Imipridones have a unique three-ring core structure and have been shown to selectively target G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). The Company has established a robust intellectual property position around its imipridone platform, including several issued patents.

 

The lead compound to emerge from this program is ONC201, an orally active small molecule dopamine receptor D2 (DRD2) antagonist. ONC201 is being evaluated in 8 ongoing clinical trials at leading US cancer centers that have enrolled more than 450 patients as of December 31, 2020. ONC201 has shown efficacy and safety as a single agent in several oncology indications, including brain tumors, endometrial cancer and neuroendocrine tumors. The most advanced indication for ONC201 are gliomas that harbor the H3 K27M mutation that can be identified by immunohisto-chemistry or gene sequencing. The Company is pursuing an NDA-directed program in this rare disease indication based on clinical findings that include radiographic improvements as well as other clinical benefits for patients with H3 K27M-mutant glioma.

 

On January 7, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Chimerix, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Chimerix"). Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company merged (the "Merger") with and into Ocean Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Chimerix ("Merger Sub") whereupon the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation of the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chimerix. Refer to Note 15.

 

Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with high-credit quality financial institutions. At times, such amounts may exceed federally insured limits. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, cash and cash equivalent balances in excess of federally insured limits were approximately $5,206,000 and $1,516,000, respectively.

 

Marketable securities

 

Marketable securities consist of U.S. Treasury securities and are stated at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are recorded in operations. Interest income is recorded as earned.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2020 and 2019

 

Fair value measurements

 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. US GAAP has a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation methodologies for financial assets and liabilities into the following three levels:

 

	Level 1:	Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
	Level 2:	Significant observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be derived from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
	Level 3:	Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

 

Assets recorded at fair value include cash equivalents and marketable securities. As of December 31, 2019, the Company's marketable securities are valued based on Level 2 inputs. In 2019, the Company entered into Simple Agreement for Future Equity ("SAFE") Notes. The SAFE notes are recorded as liabilities and are stated at fair value based on a Level 3 input.

 

Grant revenue and receivable

 

Grant revenue under cost-plus-fixed-fee grants from the federal government is recognized as allowable costs are incurred and fees are earned. Grant receivable is stated at the outstanding balance, less an allowance for doubtful accounts if necessary. No allowance for doubtful accounts was deemed necessary as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. The Company believes that it has complied with all contractual requirements of the grants through the date of the financial statements.

 

Revenue from customer contracts

 

The Company recognizes revenue from customer contracts under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"). Revenue is generated through license, development and commercialization agreements with pharmaceutical partners. The terms of these agreements may contain multiple goods and services which include (i) licenses, (ii) research and development activities, and (iii) participation in joint research and development steering committees. The terms of these agreements may include nonrefundable upfront license or option fees, payments for research and development activities, payments upon the achievement of certain milestones, and royalty payments based on product sales derived from the collaboration. Under ASC 606, the Company evaluates whether the license agreement, research and development services, and participation in research and development steering committees, represent separate or combined performance obligations. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, consideration is allocated to the performance obligations based on their relative values and recognized upon satisfaction of the performance obligations. In contracts where the Company is licensing its technology without future performance obligations, the Company recognizes revenue at a point in time when the technology is made available to the customer.

 

Contracts typically include contingent milestone payments related to specified preclinical and clinical development milestones and regulatory milestones. These milestone payments represent variable consideration to be included within the transaction price using the most likely amount method. To date, the Company has determined that the most likely amount to be recognized for milestone payments was zero, against which no constraint was applied. The Company will continue to assess the probability of significant reversals for any amounts that become likely to be realized prior to recognizing the variable consideration associated with these payments within the transaction price.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2020 and 2019

 

Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to five years.

 

Stock-based compensation

 

The Company measures the cost of stock-based awards based on the grant date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized as compensation expense over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award.

 

Impairment of long-lived and intangible assets

 

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of an asset or asset group is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to the expected future undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If that review indicates that the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recorded in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds its fair value. There were no impairment indicators in 2020 and 2019.

 

Research and development costs

 

Research and development expenses consist of costs to develop the Company's technology. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Income taxes

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to be applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income taxes result primarily from temporary differences between the recognition of depreciation and certain other expenses for both financial statement and income tax reporting purposes as well as net operating loss carryforwards. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred income tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized.

 

The Company has no unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2020 and 2019 and all its income tax returns prior to 2017 are subject to audit by the applicable taxing authorities. The Company will recognize any interest and penalties associated with tax matters as part of income tax expense.

 

Subsequent events

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through April 1, 2021, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

Depreciation expense was $6,260 and $4,704 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

Note 4 - Stockholders' equity

 

The Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended on January 29, 2019, provides that the Company's stock shall consist of 18,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value (the "Common Stock") and 5,621,568 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value (the "Preferred Stock"). The Company has four classes of Preferred Stock: 2,795,161 shares designated as Series Seed Preferred Stock ("Series Seed"), 1,137,772 shares designated as Series A-1 Preferred Stock ("Series A-1"), 750,179 shares designated as Series A-2 Preferred Stock ("Series A-2") and 938,456 shares designated as Series A-3 Preferred Stock ("Series A-3"). The Series A-1, Series A-2 and Series A-3 rank equally and are pari passu in all respects.

 

The following describes the provisions of the Company's Preferred Stock.

 

Voting rights

 

Each holder of Preferred Stock is entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole Common Stock shares into which the Preferred Stock held are convertible. The holders of the Preferred Stock vote together with the holders of the Common Stock as a single class.

 

Dividends

 

The Preferred Stock is entitled to dividends on an as converted basis only if dividends are declared on the Common Stock.

 

 

Oncoceutics, Inc.

 

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2020 and 2019

 

Conversion

 

Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock at any time, at the option of the holder. The initial conversion rate for the Series Seed is equal to the Series Seed Original Issue Price ($0.9431) divided by the Series Seed Conversion Price (initially $0.9431 per share). The initial conversion rate for the Series A-1 is equal to the Series A-1 Original Issue Price ($4.27807 per share) divided by the Series A-1 Conversion Price (initially $4.27807 per share). The initial conversion rate for the Series A-2 is equal to the Series A-2 Original Issue Price ($5.3633 per share) divided by the Series A-2 Conversion Price (initially $5.3633 per share). The initial conversion rate for the Series A-3 is equal to the Series A-3 Original Issue Price ($10.6558 per share) divided by the Series A-3 Conversion Price (initially $10.6558 per share). The conversion price will be adjusted in the event of future stock splits, dividends and sale of common stock. The shares automatically convert in the event of a public offering or the occurrence of an event specified by vote or written consent of the majority of the Company's stockholders on an as converted basis.

 

Liquidation

 

Upon liquidation, dissolution, or deemed liquidation event, holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, ratably, an amount per share equal to the applicable original issue price plus any declared and unpaid dividends. Any remaining assets would then be allocated to the holders of Common Stock on a pro rata basis.

 

Redemption

The Preferred Stock is not redeemable.

 

Note 5 - Stock-based compensation

 

The Company's 2012 Equity Compensation Plan (the "Plan") provides for grants of nonqualified stock options, stock awards, stock units, stock appreciation rights and other equity-based awards to key employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors. The Company reserved 5,085,342 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the Plan.

 

The Company records compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award based on the fair value of the stock options issued on the measurement date. The Company determined the fair value of the stock options granted in 2020 and 2019 on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

 

		2020		2019
Risk-free interest rate		0.90%		1.50%
Expected option term		7 years		7 years
Expected volatility		1%		60%
Dividend yield		0%		0%

 

The risk-free interest rate assumption was based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the stock options. The expected volatility was calculated based on comparable public companies. The expected term is based on the average of the vesting period and the option term.

The Company recorded $519,593 and $518,220 in compensation expense related to stock options for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, there was $808,024 of unamortized compensation cost related to unvested stock options which is expected to be recognized through 2023.

 

Note 6 - Simple Agreement for Future Equity Notes

 

In 2019, the Company issued Simple Agreement for Future Equity ("SAFE") Notes in the amount of approximately $2,504,000. The SAFE Notes have no maturity dates and bear no interest. The holders of the SAFE Notes have the right to convert automatically into shares of SAFE Preferred Stock of the Company, at 15% discount of the face amount of the SAFE Notes, in the event of an Equity Financing, as defined. In the event of a Deemed Liquidation Event, Initial Public Offering or Dissolution Event, the SAFE notes are automatically convertible into the number of shares of Series A-3 equal to the Series A-3 Original Issue Price ($10.6558 per share) divided by the Series A-3 Conversion Price (initially $10.6558 per share). In connection with the Merger on January 7, 2021, (see Note X), the holders of the SAFE Notes automatically converted into 234,989 shares of Series A-3 and received their full liquidation preference of $2,504,000. As of December 31, 2020, management has concluded that the fair value of the SAFE Notes equals the liquidation preference.

 

Note 7 - Operating leases

 

The Company has month-to-month operating lease commitments for office space. Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $81,008 and $127,546, respectively.

Note 8 - Income taxes

 

As of December 31, 2020, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $20,120,000 for federal and state income tax purposes, resulting in deferred income tax assets of approximately $4,225,000. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance related to its deferred income tax assets as it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits from these assets. The federal net operating losses begin to expire in 2029. Net operating losses accumulated in 2018 through 2020 of approximately $13,535,000 have no expiration date. The use of the net operating loss carryforwards may be limited in years subsequent to the transaction described in Note 17.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded $185,809 and $168,000, respectively, for expected research and development credits, which are recorded as tax credits receivable in the accompanying balance sheets.

On January 7, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Chimerix, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Chimerix"). Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company merged (the "Merger") with and into Ocean Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Chimerix ("Merger Sub") whereupon the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation of the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chimerix.

 

As consideration for the Merger, Chimerix (a) paid an upfront cash payment of approximately $25.0 million, (b) issued an aggregate of 8,723,769 shares of Chimerix’s common stock, (c) issued a promissory note to Fortis Advisors, LLC in its capacity as representative of the security holders of the Company in the principal amount of $14.0 million (the "Seller Note"), to be paid in cash, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and the Seller Note, upon the one year anniversary of the closing of the Merger, and (d) agreed to make contingent payments up to an aggregate of $360.0 million based on the achievement of certain development, regulatory and commercialization events as set forth in the Merger Agreement, as well as additional tiered royalty payments based upon future net sales of ONC201 and ONC206 products, subject to certain reductions as set forth in the Merger Agreement, and a contingent payment in the event Chimerix receives any proceeds from the sale of a rare pediatric disease priority review voucher based on the Company’s products. The closing payment may be adjusted after the closing, pursuant to procedures set forth in the Merger Agreement, in connection with the finalization of the cash, transaction expenses, debt and working capital amounts at closing.

 

Each "in-the-money" stock option of the Company ("Options") that was outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time") became fully vested and exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time and such Options were automatically "net exercised" immediately prior to the Effective Time with respect to payment of the applicable exercise price and any applicable tax withholding.
