Consolidated Financial Statements



Oncolytics Biotech® Inc.

December 31, 2009 and 2008






















STATEMENT OF MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY



Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements, Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) and all other information in the Annual Report.



In management’s opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and in accordance with the appropriately selected Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and policies consistently applied and summarized in the consolidated financial statements.



The MD&A has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of securities regulators as applicable to Oncolytics Biotech Inc.



The consolidated financial statements and information in the MD&A generally include estimates that are necessary when transactions affecting the current accounting period cannot be finalized with certainty until future periods. Based on careful judgments by management, such estimates have been properly reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and MD&A. The MD&A also
        includes information regarding the impact of current transactions and events, sources of liquidity and capital resources and risks and uncertainty. Actual results in the future may differ materially from our present assessment of this information because future events and circumstances may not occur as expected.



Systems of internal controls, including organizational and procedural controls and internal controls over financial reporting, assessed as reasonable and appropriate in the circumstances, are designed and maintained by management to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded from loss or unauthorized use and to produce reliable records for financial purposes.



We, as the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, will certify to our annual filings with the CSA and the SEC as required in Canada by National Instrument 52-109 (Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual Interim Filings) and in the United States by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.



The external auditors conducted an independent examination of corporate and accounting records in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards to express their opinion on the consolidated financial statements. Their examination included such tests and procedures as they considered necessary to provide reasonable assurance that the consolidated financial statements are presented fairly. The
        external auditors have full and free access to our Board of Directors and its Committees to discuss audit, financial reporting and related matters.



The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that management fulfills its responsibilities for financial reporting and internal control. The Board exercises this responsibility through the Audit Committee of the Board. This Committee meets with management and the external auditors to satisfy itself that management’s responsibilities are properly discharged and to review the consolidated
        financial statements and MD&A before they are presented to the Board of Directors for approval.

AUDITORS' REPORT







To the Shareholders of

Oncolytics Biotech Inc.



We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Oncolytics Biotech Inc. as at December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2009 and for the cumulative period from inception on April 2, 1998. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
        responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.



We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
        amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.



In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2009 and the cumulative period from inception on April 2, 1998 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting
        principles.



We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Oncolytics Biotech Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 8,
        2010, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER

FINANCIAL REPORTING

Under the Standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)



To the Shareholders of

Oncolytics Biotech Inc.



We have audited Oncolytics Biotech Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Oncolytics Biotech Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over
        financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.



We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial
        reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.



A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to
        the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3)
        provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.



Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.



In our opinion, Oncolytics Biotech Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on the COSO criteria.



We have also audited, in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Oncolytics Biotech Inc. as at December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
        2009, and for the cumulative period from inception on April 2, 1998, and our report dated March 8, 2010, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

1.

                    INCORPORATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS


Oncolytics Biotech Inc. (the “Company” or “Oncolytics”) was incorporated on April 2, 1998 under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) as 779738 Alberta Ltd. On April 8, 1998, we changed our name to Oncolytics Biotech Inc.

We are a development stage biopharmaceutical company that focuses on the discovery and development of pharmaceutical products for the treatment of cancers that have not been successfully treated with conventional therapeutics. Our product being developed may represent a novel treatment for Ras mediated cancers which can be used as an alternative to existing cytotoxic or cytostatic therapies, as an
        adjuvant therapy to conventional chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or surgical resections, or to treat certain cellular proliferative disorders for which no current therapy exists.

2.

                    BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION


On April 21, 1999, SYNSORB Biotech Inc. (“SYNSORB”) purchased all of our shares. In connection with this acquisition, the basis of accounting for our assets and liabilities was changed to reflect SYNSORB’s cost of acquiring its interest in such assets and liabilities (i.e. reflecting SYNSORB’s purchase cost in our consolidated financial statements). The amount by which
        SYNSORB’s purchase price exceeded the underlying net book value of our assets and liabilities at April 21, 1999 was $2,500,000. This amount was credited to contributed surplus and charged to intellectual property and was amortized to income based on the established amortization policies for such assets. Subsequent to April 21, 1999, SYNSORB’s ownership has been diluted through public offerings of our common shares, sales of our shares by SYNSORB and a distribution of
        SYNSORB’S ownership interest in the Company to their shareholders. As a result, SYNSORB no longer has any ownership in the Company.

3.

                    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”). These policies are, in all material respects, in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) except as disclosed in note 23. The consolidated financial statements have, in management’s
        opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our incorporated subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Use of estimates

Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported
        amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be significant. Significant estimates made by management affecting our consolidated financial statements include the inputs used to determine our stock based compensation, expense for the year and our assessment of our future income tax assets and related valuation allowance.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2009 and 2008

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Amortization is provided on bases and at rates designed to amortize the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives. Amortization is recorded using the declining balance method at the following annual rates:

Office equipment and furniture

                    20%Medical equipment

                    20%Computer equipment

                    30%Leasehold improvements

                    Straight-line over the term of the lease


Intellectual property

Intellectual property costs related to the initial acquisition of our business by SYNSORB. These costs were amortized on a straight-line basis over a 10-year period (the expected useful life) commencing July 1, 1999 and are now fully amortized.

Foreign currency translation

Transactions originating in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency of the entity at the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the year-end rate of exchange and non-monetary items are translated at historic exchange rates. Exchange gains and losses are included in net loss for the period.

Research and development costs

Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development costs that meet specific criteria related to technical, market and financial feasibility will be capitalized. To date, all of the development costs have been expensed.

Loss per common share

Basic loss per common share is determined using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

We use the treasury stock method to calculate diluted loss per common share. Under this method, diluted loss per common share is computed in a manner consistent with basic loss per common share except that the weighted average common shares outstanding are increased to include additional common shares from the assumed exercise of options and warrants, if dilutive. The number of additional common shares
        is calculated by assuming that any outstanding “in the money” options and warrants were exercised at the later of the beginning of the period or the date of issue and that the proceeds from such exercises were used to acquire shares of common stock at the average market price during the reporting period.

Stock option plan

We have one stock option plan (the “Plan”) available to officers, directors, employees, consultants and suppliers with grants under the Plan approved from time to time by our Board of Directors (the “Board”). Under the Plan, the exercise price of each option equals the trading price of our stock on the date of grant in accordance with Toronto Stock Exchange guidelines. Vesting is
        provided for at the discretion of the Board and the expiration of options is to be no greater than 10 years from the date of grant.

Stock based compensation

Oncolytics Biotech Inc.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2009 and 2008





Officers, directors and employees

We use the fair value based method of accounting for employee awards granted under the Plan. We calculate the fair value of each stock option grant using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model and the fair value is recorded over the option’s vesting period on a straight-line basis.

Non-employees

Stock based compensation to non-employees is recorded at fair market value based on the fair value of the consideration received, or the fair value of the equity instruments granted, or liabilities incurred, whichever is more reliably measurable, on the earlier of the date at which a performance commitment is reached, performance is achieved, or the vesting date of the options.

Financial instruments

Financial assets



Financial assets are comprised of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable (mainly goods and services tax receivable), short-term investments and long term investment. Financial assets are initially recorded at fair market value and are classified as follows:



Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and interest bearing deposits with our bank and have been designated as held for trading.



Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable have been designated as loans and receivables. Changes in fair value are recognized in net income on de-recognition, impairment, or write-down.



Short-term investments

We determine the appropriate classification of our short-term investments at the time of purchase and re-evaluate such designation as of each balance sheet date. We classify our short-term investments as held-to-maturity as we have the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are stated at original cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion
        of discounts to maturity computed under the effective interest rate method. Such amortization and interest on securities classified as held-to-maturity are included in interest income.

Oncolytics Biotech Inc.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2009 and 2008





Long Term Investment



Our Long Term Investment is comprised of equity securities in a private company with no active market for these securities. We do not intend to dispose of this financial asset within the year. As such, we have designated this investment as available-for-sale and classified it as long term. As there is no quoted market price in an active market for these securities, our long term investment is measured at
        cost.



Financial liabilities



Our financial liabilities are comprised of trade accounts payable and are non interest-bearing and are recorded at fair market value. Our trade accounts payables are designated as Other Financial Liabilities and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.



Transaction Costs



Transaction costs are expensed as incurred for financial instruments designated as held for trading. Transaction costs for financial assets classified as available for sale, loans and receivables, and financial liabilities classified as other than held for trading are recognized immediately in income.

Future income taxes

We follow the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, future income taxes are recognized for the difference between financial statement carrying values and the respective income tax basis of assets and liabilities (temporary differences). Future income tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted income tax rates and laws expected to apply in
        the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on future income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is included in income in the period of the change.



Future Accounting Changes



International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)

The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants’ Standards Board announced that Canadian publicly accountable enterprises are required to adopt IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), effective January 1, 2011.



We have commenced the process to transition from current Canadian GAAP (“GAAP”) to IFRS. Our transition plan, which in certain cases will be in process concurrently as IFRS is applied, includes the following three phases:



•

                    Scoping and diagnostic phase — This phase involves performing a high-level diagnostic assessment to identify key areas that may be impacted by the transition to IFRS. As a result of the diagnostic assessment, the potentially affected areas are ranked as high, medium or low priority. This phase was finalized in 2008.




•

                    Impact analysis, evaluation and design phase — In this phase, each area identified from the scoping and diagnostic phase will be addressed in order of descending priority. This phase involves specification of changes required to existing accounting policies, information systems and business processes, together with an analysis of policy
                        alternatives allowed under IFRS.




•

                    Implementation and review phase — This phase includes execution of changes to information systems and business processes, completing formal authorization processes to approve

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2009 and 2008





recommended accounting policy changes and training. At the end of the implementation and review phase we will be able to compile financial statements compliant with IFRS.

In 2009, we performed our impact analysis with respect to IFRS 1 “First Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”, analyzed other known GAAP to IFRS differences and commenced the preparation of our IFRS accounting policies.

IFRS 1 “First Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”

Upon review of IFRS 1, and as at December 31, 2009, we expect to utilize the exemption relating to investments in subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and associates. We may also wish to utilize the exemption relating to cumulative translation differences if it is applicable upon adoption We do not expect there to be a significant impact on our financial statements as a result of using these
        exemptions. As well, based on the transactions we have incurred to date and our specific facts, we believe it will not be necessary to utilize the other exemptions made available by IFRS 1. As we move towards actual implementation and reporting under IFRS, we will continue to monitor our transactions and make use of any exemptions that are determined to benefit Oncolytics.

Other GAAP to IFRS Differences

Functional Currency

There are differences in the determination of an entity’s functional currency between GAAP and IFRS. We are reviewing the facts of each of the entities within our corporate structure and we expect that our functional currencies should not change.

Foreign Currency Translation

The foreign currency translation of our subsidiaries may differ under IFRS compared to GAAP. This is dependent on our conclusion relating to the functional currency of each of our subsidiaries. We expect the impact of this difference to be insignificant.

Income Taxes

The IFRS standard, IAS 12 “Income Taxes”continues to be under review and it is expected to change before 2011. We expect that, regardless of the results of the review, there will be differences between IFRS and GAAP, but will depend on the final standard. The potential impact is not expected to impact our balance sheet or income statement,
        but will impact our valuation allowance within our income tax disclosure.

Treatment of Warrants with an Exercise Price Denominated in a Foreign Currency

There is a difference between GAAP and IFRS on the treatment of warrants with an exercise price denominated in a currency other than the entity’s functional currency. Currently, IFRS would require accounting for these warrants as a liability measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statement of loss. GAAP requires these warrants to be accounted for as an equity
        instrument. The current impact on our consolidated financial statements would be to increase our liabilities and decrease our equity by $1.0 million.

                    CONTINGENCIES


Assumption Agreement

During 1999, the Company entered into an agreement that assumed certain obligations (the “Assumption Agreement”) in connection with a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) between SYNSORB and the former shareholders of the Company to make milestone payments and royalty payments.

As of December 31, 2009, a milestone payment was still outstanding for $1.0 million, due within 90 days of the first receipt from an Appropriate Regulatory Authority, for marketing approval to sell REOLYSIN® to the public or the approval of a new drug application for REOLYSIN®.

This milestone payment, when payable, will be accounted for as research and development expense and will not be deductible for income tax purposes.

In addition to the milestone payment, payments may become due and payable in accordance with the Agreement upon realization of sales of REOLYSIN®. In 2003, the Company completed amendments and revisions to the contingent obligations to its five founding shareholders with respect to these other contingent payments. The amendments and revisions reduced the amount and clarified the
        determination of potential obligations of the Company to these shareholders arising from the Agreement and Assumption Agreement entered into in 1999. Also, on September 23, 2004, the Company reached an agreement that further reduced its contingent payments to its founding shareholders through the cancellation of a portion of these contingent payments from one of its non-management founding shareholders. The consideration paid by the Company consisted of $250,000 cash and 21,459 common
        shares valued at $150,000 and has been recorded as research and development expense. The value of the common shares was based on the closing market price on September 23, 2004.

As a result of the amendments and the cancellation agreement, if the Company receives royalty payments or other payments as a result of entering into partnerships or other arrangements for the development of the reovirus technology, the Company is obligated to pay to the founding shareholders 11.75% (formerly in 2003 – 14.25% and 2002 – 20%) of the royalty payments and other payments
        received. Alternatively, if the Company develops the reovirus treatment to the point where it may be marketed at a commercial level, the payments referred to in the foregoing sentence will be amended to a royalty payment of 2.35% (formerly in 2003 – 2.85% and 2002 – 4%) of Net Sales received by the Company for such products.

BRI “Work in Kind” Contribution

We entered into an engineering and process development agreement with the Biotechnology Research Institute of the National Research Council of Canada (“BRI”). The terms of this Agreement include a “work in kind” contribution from BRI. In exchange for this “work in kind” contribution, we agreed to provide a royalty, contingent upon receiving Sales Revenue, at the lesser
        of 0.5% of Sales Revenue or $20,000 per year. The total royalty under this Agreement is equal to two times the “work in kind” contribution. As of December 31, 2009, we estimate that the accumulated work in kind totals approximately $186,000.

                    On December 18, 2008, we amended the terms of 320,000 previously issued broker warrants for cash consideration of $41,600. The amendments included adjusting the exercise price from $5.65 to $1.80 and extending the expiry date from December 29, 2008 to December 29, 2009, subject to acceleration of the expiry date in certain circumstances. All of these
                        warrants were exercised in 2009.


(q)

                    On April 9, 2009, we completed our acquisition of an inactive private company pursuant to a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta). We issued 1,875,121 common shares in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding securities of the private company. The exchange ratio was at an agreed premium to the private company’s net
                        cash per security at closing and was calculated using an ascribed value per common share of $1.69 (being the 20 day volume weighted average trading price of our common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange up to and including March 2, 2009). We have treated this acquisition as a financing transaction for accounting purposes and we have allocated the net cash from the private company to the value of the common shares we issued net of related transaction costs. The private
                        company had no other assets or liabilities.


(r)

                    Pursuant to a public offering, 3,450,000 units were issued at an issue price of $2.00 per unit for gross proceeds of $6,900,000. Each unit included one common share (ascribed value of $1.63) and one common share purchase warrant (ascribed value of $0.37). The ascribed value was determined using the relative fair value method. Each common share purchase
                        warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share in the capital of the Company upon payment of $2.40 per share until May 13, 2012 subject to acceleration of the expiry date under certain circumstances. Share issue costs for this offering were $952,854. In addition, we issued 345,000 broker common share purchase warrants with an exercise price of $2.40 expiring on May 13, 2012 subject to acceleration of the expiry date under certain circumstances. The ascribed
                        value of these broker warrants was $165,600 ($0.48 per broker warrant) and has been included in the share issue costs. The ascribed values of the warrants were determined using Black Scholes. On October 2, 2009, the acceleration provisions under the warrant indenture were met allowing us to accelerate the expiry date of these warrants to November 2, 2009.




Under the terms of the warrant indenture and the broker warrant certificates, if the 10-day volume-weighted average trading price of our Common Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange exceeded $3.35 per Common Share, then, at any date subsequent to this date, at our sole discretion and upon sending the holder written notice of such accelerated exercise date and issuing a news release
        announcing such accelerated exercise date, the expiry date of the warrant shall be the day that is 30 days following the later of (i) the date on which such notice is sent to the holder; and (ii) the date on which such announcement is made by news release. As of the close of business on October 2, 2009, the 10-day volume-weighted average trading price exceeded $3.35 and we elected to accelerate the exercise date to November 2, 2009. All of these warrants were exercised.

Each unit included one common share (ascribed value of US$2.60) and 0.40 of one common share purchase warrant (ascribed value of US$0.40). The ascribed value was determined using the relative fair value method. Each common
                        share purchase warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share in the capital of the Company upon payment of US$3.50 per share until November 23, 2014 subject to acceleration of the expiry date under certain circumstances. Share issue costs for this offering were $1,524,706. The ascribed values of the warrants were determined using Black Scholes.

                    On October 20, 2009 we made an investment in British Canadian Biosciences Corp.

We purchased all of the convertible preferred shares of BCBC in exchange for 200,000 common shares of
                        Oncolytics.

The outstanding options vest annually or after the completion of certain milestones. We have reserved 4,128,975 common shares for issuance relating to outstanding stock options.

As we are following the fair value based method of accounting for stock option awards, compensation expense related to options granted to employees was $424,273 (2008 – $64,039 and 2007 – $539,156) with an offsetting credit to contributed surplus. There were no options issued to consultants for the years 2009, 2008, and 2007.

The estimated fair value of stock options issued during the year was determined using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model using the following weighted average assumptions and fair value of options:

The effect of any potential exercise of our stock options and warrants outstanding during the year has been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per common share, as it would be
        anti-dilutive.

15. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

Our corporate by-laws require that, except to the extent expressly prohibited by law, we will indemnify our officers and directors against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment reasonably incurred in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding as it relates to their services to the Company. The by-laws provide no
        limit to the amount of the indemnification. We have purchased directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage to cover claims made against the directors and officers during the applicable policy periods. The amounts and types of coverage have varied from period to period as dictated by market conditions. We believe that we have adequate insurance coverage; however, there is no guarantee that all indemnification payments will be covered under our existing insurance policies.

There is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our officers or directors as to which indemnification is being sought, nor are we aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.

16.

                    CAPITAL DISCLOSURES


Our objective when managing capital is to maintain adequate cash resources to support planned activities which include the clinical trial program, product manufacturing, administrative costs and intellectual property expansion and protection. We include shareholders’ equity, cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments in the definition of capital.

                    31,366,458

                    9,453,084




We do not have any debt other than trade accounts payable and we have potential contingent obligations relating to the completion of our research and development of REOLYSIN®.



In managing our capital, we estimate our future cash requirements by preparing a budget and a multi-year plan annually for review and approval by our Board of Directors (the “Board”). The budget establishes the approved activities for the upcoming year and estimates the costs associated with these activities. The multi-year plan estimates future activity along with the potential cash
        requirements and is based on our assessment of our current clinical trial progress along with the expected results from the coming year’s activity. Budget to actual variances are prepared monthly and reviewed by management and are presented quarterly to the Board.



Historically, funding for our plan is primarily managed through the issuance of additional common shares and common share purchase warrants that upon exercise are converted to common shares. Management regularly monitors the capital markets attempting to balance the timing of issuing additional equity with our progress through our clinical trial program, general market conditions, and the availability of
        capital. There are no assurances that funds will be made available to us when required.



On June 16, 2008, we filed a short form base shelf prospectus (the “Base Shelf”) that qualifies for distribution up to $150,000,000 of common shares, subscription receipts, warrants, debt securities and/or units (the “Securities”). Under our Base Shelf, we may sell Securities to or through underwriters, dealers, placement agents or other intermediaries and also may sell Securities
        directly to purchasers or through agents, subject to obtaining any applicable exemption from registration requirements. The distribution of Securities may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which

may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, or at prices related to such prevailing market prices to be negotiated with purchasers and as set forth in an accompanying Prospectus Supplement.



Establishing the Base Shelf provides us with additional flexibility when managing our cash resources as, under certain circumstances, it shortens the time period required to close a financing and is expected to increase the number of potential investors that may be prepared to invest in our company. Funds received from a Prospectus Supplement will be used in line with our Board approved budget and
        multi-year plan. The Base Shelf expires on July 16, 2010 and we have registered 10,987,500 units under this shelf.



We are not subject to externally imposed capital requirements and there have been no changes in how we define or manage our capital in 2009.

17.

                    SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS




Short-term investments which consist of Government of Canada treasury bills, are liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. The objectives for holding short-term investments are to invest our excess cash resources in investment vehicles that provide a better rate of return compared to our interest bearing bank
        account with limited risk to the principal invested. We intend to match the maturities of these short-term investments with the cash requirements of the Company’s activities and treat these as held-to-maturity short-term investments. We do not hold any asset backed commercial paper.

18. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, long term investment, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. As at December 31, 2009, there are no significant differences between the carrying values of these amounts and their estimated market values.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss if a counter-party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. We are exposed to credit risk on our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments in the event of non-performance by counterparties, but we do not anticipate such non-performance. Our maximum exposure to credit risk at the end of the period is the carrying value of our
        cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments.

We mitigate our exposure to credit risk by maintaining our primary operating and investment bank accounts with Schedule I banks in Canada. For our foreign domiciled bank accounts, we use referrals or recommendations from our Canadian banks to open foreign bank accounts and these accounts are used solely for the purpose of settling accounts payable or payroll.

We also mitigate our exposure to credit risk by restricting our portfolio to investment grade securities with short-term maturities and by monitoring the credit risk and credit standing of counterparties. Currently, 100% of our short-term investments are in guaranteed investment certificates.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. We are exposed to interest rate risk through our cash and cash equivalents and our portfolio of short-term investments. We mitigate this risk through our investment policy that only allows investment of excess cash resources in investment grade vehicles while matching
        maturities with our operational requirements.

Fluctuations in market rates of interest do not have a significant impact on our results of operations due to the short term to maturity of the investments held.

Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. We are exposed to currency risk from the purchase of goods and services primarily in the U.S. and the U.K. and to the extent cash is held in foreign currencies. The impact of a $0.01 increase in the value of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar would have increased
        our net loss in 2009 by approximately $63,757. The impact of a $0.01 increase in the value of the British pound against the Canadian dollar would have increased our net loss in 2009 by approximately $17,395.

We mitigate our foreign exchange risk through the purchase of foreign currencies in sufficient amounts to settle our foreign accounts payable.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that we will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. We manage liquidity risk through the management of our capital structure as outlined in Note 16. Accounts payable are all due within the current operating period.

19.

                    ECONOMIC DEPENDENCE


We are economically dependent on our toll manufacturers. We primarily use one toll manufacturer in the U.S. to produce the clinical grade REOLYSIN® required for our clinical trial program. Any significant disruption of the services provided by our primary toll manufacturer has the potential to delay the progress of our clinical trial program. We have another toll manufacturer in the U.K.
        that has also produced clinical grade REOLYSIN® at a smaller scale. We have attempted to mitigate this risk by producing sufficient REOLYSIN® in advance of patient enrollment in a particular clinical trial.

                    BCY LIFESCIENCES INC.


On May 7, 2002, the shareholders of SYNSORB and the Company approved an arrangement whereby the Company would release from escrow 4,000,000 common shares held by SYNSORB. As consideration, SYNSORB provided the Company with 1,500,000 common shares of BCY LifeSciences Inc. (“BCY”) along with the rights to receive an additional 400,000 common shares of BCY upon the attainment of certain
        milestones by BCY at no cash cost to the Company. The Company received 200,000 of these 400,000 common shares on November 27, 2002. These 1,700,000 common shares in BCY were recorded as an investment at $170,000 based on the quoted market price of the BCY common shares at that time with an offsetting credit recorded to contributed surplus. On April 23, 2002, the Company acquired 694,445 common shares of BCY, a public company, for $0.18 per share, and warrants exercisable until April 23,
        2004 to purchase up to 694,445 common shares in BCY at an exercise price of $0.27 per share for total consideration of $127,123 (including costs of $2,123). After these transactions, the Company held a total of 2,394,445 BCY shares which were all subsequently sold for net cash proceeds of $591,725, recording a gain on sale of investment of $299,403.

                    “Push-Down” Accounting and In Process Research and Development


Intellectual property of $2,500,000 recorded as a consequence of SYNSORB’s acquisition of the Company’s shares comprised intangible assets related to research and development activities. Under U.S. GAAP, this would not be capitalized on acquisition.

Oncolytics Biotech Inc.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2009 and 2008

As a result of removing the $2,500,000 from intellectual property in 1999 for U.S. GAAP purposes, the amortization of the intellectual property, the future income tax recovery, and contributed surplus amounts recorded for Canadian GAAP purposes have been reversed.

2.

                    Presentation of Stock Based Compensation Expense


Under U.S. GAAP, stock based compensation expense is to be presented within the appropriate category of expenses on the consolidated statements of loss. As a result, stock based compensation on the consolidated statement of loss would be reduced by $424,273 in 2009 (2008 – $64,039; 2007 – $539,156) and research and development and operating expenses would increase by
        $211,263 and $213,010, respectively (2008 – $64,039 and $nil, respectively; 2007 – $375,156 and $164,000, respectively). Cumulative from inception stock based compensation would be reduced by $5,193,117 and cumulative from inception research and development and operating expenses would increase by $2,946,387 and $2,246,730, respectively. There is no impact on the Company’s net loss.

3.

                    Treatment of Warrants with a Foreign Currency Exercise Price


Under U.S. GAAP, the prescribed accounting treatment for warrants with an exercise price denominated in a foreign currency is to treat these warrants as a liability measured at fair value with changes in fair value accounted for through the consolidated statement of loss. The fair value of these warrants is determined using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model. As a result of this
        prescribed accounting treatment, for U.S. GAAP, we have reclassified the warrants issued in our November 2009 unit offering from equity to liabilities.

The Company issues shares from treasury to satisfy any exercise of stock options.

Additional Financial Instrument Disclosure

Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities include the warrant liability which has been designated as held for trading and has been measured at fair value determined by the Black Scholes Option Pricing. These warrants have not been listed on an exchange and therefore do not trade on an active market. Changes in fair value are recorded as a gain or loss in income. The inputs used for determining fair value on December 31, 2009
        are: risk free interest rate – 1.46%, expected hold period to exercise – 1.4 years, volatility in the price of our shares – 61.5%, and expected dividend yield.



32




Oncolytics Biotech Inc.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2009 and 2008



Fair Value Measurement

The accounting guidance for fair value measurements prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into the following hierarchy:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable;

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

The fair value of our Warrant Liability is based on level 2 (significant observable inputs).



Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

The tax years 2003 – 2008 remain open for audit examination by the respective Canadian taxing jurisdictions.
