Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Fennec Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, audits of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgment.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (Continued)
The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Global Distributors - Estimated Product Allowances and Discounts
Critical Audit Matter Description
As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizes revenues based on the net sales price, which includes estimates of variable consideration for which reserves are established primarily from rebates, chargebacks, discounts, returns, and other allowances. Further, certain distributors provide distinct and estimable services to the Company in exchange for product allowances. The estimated fair value of distinct and estimable services performed by the distributor and the attribution of those amounts to the period of benefit are important factors in the determination of net sales price and requires subjective management assumptions. Allowances provided to distributors in excess of the estimated fair value of services received by the Company are presented as sales discounts. Allowances provided to such distributors during the year ended December 31, 2025 for distinct and estimable distributor services totaled $5.4 million, of which $1.7 million is presented as prepaid expenses as of December 31, 2025.
How the Critical Audit Matter was Addressed in the Audit
Auditing estimates of the amount and timing of distinct distributor services provided to the Company was challenging and judgmental because the estimates involve significant measurement uncertainty about the fair value of services received by the Company and the periods that such services were rendered to the Company. A high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort was required in performing procedures and evaluating evidence related to management’s assumptions in these areas. Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included, among others:
| ◾ | We obtained and read related customer contracts to obtain an understanding of the contractual responsibilities of the parties; we evaluated management’s accounting policies and practices with respect to distinct distributor provided services for compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; and we obtained an understanding of management’s monitoring and oversight of such services. |
| ◾ | Through interviews, inquiries, observations, and examination of Company-prepared analyses, we obtained an understanding of the significant management assumptions behind the potentially significant components of the distributor allowances, including the nature of each allowance and the amounts estimated by management. Through interviews, inquiries, and observations, we obtained an understanding of the significant management assumptions supporting the fair value estimates of distinct distributor services and the timing of performance of services. |
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (Continued)
| ◾ | We assessed the methodologies used to determine the allowances and the fair value of distinct distributor services and tested estimated percentages by corroborating the underlying data used to develop the estimate, which included evaluating the completeness and accuracy of such data. Our testing of allowances included comparing key assumptions to customer contracts, payment data, and other third-party sources, as applicable. Our testing of the fair value of distinct distributor services included evaluating management’s estimate of costs to perform necessary services and assessing the reasonableness of estimated timeframes associated with the performance of those services. |
| ◾ | We evaluated information subsequent to the balance sheet date to determine whether there was any new information that would require adjustment to the previously estimated amounts. |
