THIRD QUARTER REPORT
FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
During the third quarter of 2002, Oncolytics further advanced the development of REOLYSIN®, a potential therapeutic for up to two thirds of all human cancers.
In early July, the Company announced the commencement of its Phase I/II clinical trial examining the use of REOLYSIN® in the treatment of glioblastomas (brain cancer). The study will enroll up to 38 patients who are diagnosed with this recurrent, aggressive and deadly form of brain tumour. Patients in the Phase I portion will receive a single, intralesional injection of REOLYSIN® at escalating dosages. Phase II patients will receive a single, intralesional injection of REOLYSIN® at a dosage determined by the Phase I study. In addition, the Company continued the enrollment process for the T2 prostate cancer human trial.
We expect to conclude both our T2 prostate cancer and Phase I glioblastoma studies over the coming months and we look forward to reporting our progress and clinical results from both trials as soon as possible.
Also within the third quarter, we initiated and successfully completed a key toxicology study examining the systemic administration of REOLYSIN® in primates.
The strengthening of Oncolytics patent portfolio continues to be a cornerstone of our overall business strategy. We are pleased to report that our fifth U.S. patent, which covers the use of various strains and combinations of immunoprotected reoviruses, was issued late in the third quarter.
Shortly after the quarter end, Oncolytics announced the appointment of George Gill, MD, as Senior Vice President, Clinical and Regulatory Affairs. Dr. Gill has more than 30 years of senior-level experience in clinical research and regulatory affairs, and has supported the advancement of over 20 products including 11 cancer products through the regulatory approval process in the United States, Canada and Europe. As part of our senior management team, Dr. Gill will play a pivotal role in advancing REOLYSIN® through the clinical and regulatory processes.
Also subsequent to the quarter end, William A. Cochrane, OC, MD was appointed to our Board of Directors. Dr. Cochrane has extensive experience in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, financial, academic and medical sectors. He is currently the Chairman of Stressgen Biotechnologies Corporation, President of W.A. Cochrane & Associates Inc, and Chairman of UTI at the University of Calgary. He also serves on the boards of a number of Canadian and American companies. His appointment brings additional depth to the Board, and we expect to benefit significantly from his contributions.
Management, directors, staff and third-party collaborators remain excited about the potential of REOLYSIN® as a cancer therapeutic. Through the balance of 2002 and into 2003 we look forward to reporting on our continued progress.
Thank you for your support and encouragement.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
During the third quarter of 2002, Oncolytics further advanced the development of REOLYSIN®, a potential therapeutic for up to two thirds of all human cancers.
HIGHLIGHTS
As at September 30, 2002 the Company had incurred a cumulative deficit of $14,908,377. For the three months ended September 30, 2002, interest income partially offset cash used to fund operations and asset purchases, with the Company holding cash on hand at September 30, 2002 of $7,746,242 and working capital of $7,207,134. During the quarter, the Company continued the enrollment process in its T2 prostate cancer trial and recurrent malignant glioma (brain cancer) clinical trials. In addition, the Company initiated and successfully completed a key toxicology study examining the systemic administration of REOLYSIN® in primates. The Company also secured a fifth U.S. patent covering REOLYSIN® technology.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
The biotechnology industry continues to face challenges and uncertainties including volatility in the financial markets, rapidly shifting financial reporting guidelines and systems, and a changing regulatory environment. While these are not expected to impact the long-term goals of the Company, they can impact short-term activities such as the timing of financing, partnership arrangements, and distribution and content of financial documents.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company incurred expenses of $2,212,682 in the third quarter of 2002 with $1,621,500 (73.3%) for research and development, $444,982 (20.1%) for operating expenses and $146,200 (6.6%) for amortization of capital assets. During the third quarter of 2001, the Company incurred expenses of $2,587,911 with $2,041,166 (78.9%) for research and development, $427,209 (16.5%) for operating expenses, and $119,536 (4.6%) for amortization of capital assets. Offsetting the expenses incurred in the three months ended September 30, 2002 was interest income of $52,799 and recovery of net future tax liability of $170,000. The result was a loss for the third quarter of 2002 of $1,989,883. In 2001, interest income of $160,587, and net tax expense of $18,337 resulted in a loss of $2,445,661 for the third quarter. Tax adjustments were reclassified in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 to conform to current period disclosures.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company incurred expenses of $5,201,013 with $3,196,218 (61.5%) for research and development, $1,585,955 (30.5%) for operating expenses, and $418,840 (8.0%) for amortization of capital assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Corporation incurred expenses of $5,416,443 with $3,627,111 (67.0%) for research and development, $1,446,801 (26.7 %) for operating expenses and $342,531 (6.3%) for amortization of capital assets. Offsetting the expenses incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2002, was interest income of $164,416 and net recovery of future tax liability of $487,295. The result was a loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 of $4,549,302. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, interest income of $564,529 and net recovery of future tax liability of $36,189 offset the expenses for the period resulting in a loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 of $4,815,725.

COMPARISON OF THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 TO THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001
Interest income decreased in the third quarter of 2002 to $52,799 relative to the interest income recorded for the third quarter of 2001 of $160,587. The decrease is primarily related to the relative decrease in cash balances in the third quarter of 2002 as compared to the third quarter of 2001.
During the three months ended September 30, 2002, the Company expended $1,621,500 on research and development expenses compared to $2,041,166 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease is attributable to a $1.0 million milestone payment to founding shareholders recorded in the third quarter of 2001 without a similar cost in the third quarter of 2002, reductions arising from the conclusion of the Phase I human clinical trial and reduced activity in process development. These comparative reductions were partially offset by the increased activity in the quarter resulting from the commencement of the prostate and glioma trials and commencement and completion of a key systemic toxicology study. Operating expenses increased to $444,982 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $427,209 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. This increase is due to increased costs related directly to investor relations, increased insurance costs, and other activities including legal costs supporting the Companys communications and filing activities and requirements.
COMPARISON OF THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001
Interest income decreased in the first nine months of 2002 to $164,416 relative to interest and other income recorded for the first nine months of 2001 of $564,529. The decrease is primarily related to the relative decrease in cash balances in the first nine months of 2002 as compared to the first nine months of 2001.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company expended $3,196,218 on research and development expenses compared to $3,627,111 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease is attributable to the $1.0 million milestone payment obligation related to the original Share Purchase Agreement and Assumption Agreement recorded in the third quarter of 2001. Reductions are also due to the conclusion of the Phase I human clinical trial and reduced activity in process development, partially offset by the increased activity resulting from the commencement of the prostate and glioma trials and commencement and completion of a key systemic toxicology study. Operating expenses increased to $1,585,955 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to $1,446,801 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. This increase is due to increased insurance costs, and other activities including legal costs supporting the Companys communications and filing requirements.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
During the third quarter of 2002 the Company expended $214,770 on capital assets, primarily for additional patent costs to protect its intellectual property. During the third quarter of 2001, the Company expended $274,095 for similar expenditures.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 the Company expended $737,867 on capital assets (primarily patents), compared to an expenditure of $443,275 for the same nine-month period in 2001. The most significant components of the balance of these expenditures relate directly to activities supporting the expansion and protection of the Companys intellectual property.
3
INVESTMENTS
The Company holds 2,194,445 shares of BCY. This represents approximately 6.9% of their issued and outstanding shares as at September 30, 2002. As this investment is not held for resale, no adjustments to the carrying value of $277,123 have been made.
In addition, on June 14, 2002 the Company acquired 6,890,000 shares of Transition Therapeutics Inc. (TTH) through the issuance of 1,913,889 common shares of the Company. At September 30, 2002, this represented approximately 15% of the issued and outstanding shares of TTH. As the investment is not intended for resale, and it is not believed that the current market conditions reflect a permanent impairment of value, the investment balance has not been adjusted from its carrying value of $4,689,028. Based on the closing price of $0.36 for TTH shares as at September 30, 2002 the market value of the investment was $2,480,000.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES
No financing activities were undertaken in the three and nine months ended September, 2002, other than the exercise of options generating $34,000 of proceeds to the Company. In the third quarter of 2001, the Company raised $480,513 from the exercise of options and warrants and $1,681,615 from similar activities in the nine months ended september 30, 2001.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Companys cash and working capital positions as at September 30, 2002 were $7,746,242 and $7,207,134 respectively. This compares to cash of $14,970,756 and working capital of $12,769,203 as at December 31, 2001. The reduction in cash for the quarter ended September 30, 2002, of $2,217,358 is primarily due to research and development, operational expenses and legal costs required to broaden the patent portfolio.
A significant element of research and development costs in the quarter was the successful completion of a key toxicology study in support of a potential future systemic application of REOLYSIN®.
Management believes that its existing capital resources are adequate to fund ongoing research and development activities in support of its current plans well into the second half of 2003. In the event that the Company chooses to alter its present plans, or seek additional capital, it recognizes the challenges and uncertainty inherent in the capital markets and the potential difficulties it might face-particularly in todays environment. Market prices for securities in biotechnology companies are volatile and the ability to raise funds will be dependent on a number of factors, including the progress of research and development and availability of clinical trial information.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
The Company presently expects important activities to occur in the final quarter of 2002 and through 2003. These include:
| Advancing our clinical trial program and reporting results of the Companys T2 prostate and Phase I/II recurrent malignant glioma trials; and | |
| Continued expansion of patent protection for REOLYSIN®. |
The Company remains optimistic that continued progress in our clinical trial program and product development will position us well for the future.
Except for historical information, this review contains statements which by their nature are forward-looking and which involve known and unknown risks, delays, uncertainties and other factors not under the control of the Company. Any of these factors may cause actual results, performance or achievement of the Company to be materially different from the results, performance or expectations implied by these forward-looking statements.

NOTES TO QUARTERLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1
The accounting policies used in the preparation of these interim financial statements conform to those used in the Companys annual financial statements except for accounting for goodwill, other intangibles, and stock-based compensation.
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the new Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) standard for goodwill and other intangibles. Under the new standard, goodwill and certain intangibles are no longer subject to amortization, but are instead tested for impairment at least annually. The Company has assessed the application of this policy with respect to its intangible assets and determined that there is no reclassification required and no impact on the carrying value of its assets, or the net loss or loss per share for the periods ended September 30, 2002. Under the new standard, the Companys intangible assets, consisting of intellectual property (mainly patents) continue to be amortized on the basis described in the Companys annual financial statements.
On January 1, 2002, the Company prospectively adopted the new CICA standard for stock-based compensation. The new standard requires that stock-based payments to non-employees, direct awards of stock and awards that call for settlement in cash or other assets be accounted for using the fair value method of accounting. The fair value method is encouraged for other stock-based compensation plans, but other methods of accounting, such as the intrinsic value method, are permitted. Under the fair value method, compensation expense is measured at the grant date and recognized over the service period.
6
Under the intrinsic value method, compensation expense is determined as the difference between the fair value and the exercise price of the equity instrument granted. If the intrinsic value method is used, pro forma disclosure is made of earnings or losses and the related per share amounts as if the fair value method had been used. The Company has elected to use the intrinsic value method of accounting for options issued under its fixed stock option plan. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for this plan.
During the three month period ended September 30, 2002, the Company granted no options, had 40,000 options exercised, and had 108,000 options surrendered. As the Company is following the intrinsic value method of accounting for options, no compensation expense has been recorded for this period. The following table provides pro forma measures of net loss and net loss per share, had compensation expense been recognized based on the estimated fair value of the options on the grant date in accordance with the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation.
The pro forma measures below also include additional compensation expense of $29,811, which represents the impact of 57,750 employee options which were repriced during the nine month period ended September 30, 2002. These options, which were originally priced at amounts ranging from $3.49 to $12.15, were repriced in May, 2002 to the then-current market price of the companys shares of $2.70.

The estimated fair value of stock options issued or repriced during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 was determined using the Black-Scholes model using the following weighted average assumptions, resulting in a weighted average fair value of $1.75 per option.
