SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2018

At June 30, 2018, the Company had combined cash and cash equivalents and clinical trial deposits on hand of approximately $6.9 million.

For the year ended June 30, 2018, the Company reported a net loss of $11,138,312 or $0.54 per share, compared to a net loss of $8,081,764, or $0.74 per share, for the year ended June 30, 2017.

The following represents selected financial information as of June 30, 2018. The Company’s financial information has been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and this selected information should be read in conjunction with DelMar’s consolidated financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis, as filed.

Research and development expenses increased to $7,132,952 during the year ended June 30, 2018, compared to $5,003,640 for the year ended June 30, 2017. The increase was partially due to manufacturing costs for drug product as well as ongoing study costs for the Company’s two Phase 2, biomarker-driven clinical studies.

General and administrative expenses increased in the year ended June 30, 2018 to $4,041,711 from $3,317,189 for the year ended June 30, 2017, largely due to an increase in professional fees and personnel costs.
