Summary Second Quarter 2018 ResultsZomedica recorded net loss and comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 of $4,144,398 or $0.04 per share and $6,315,727 or $0.07 per share, compared to a loss of $1,588,370 or $0.02 per share and $3,421,106 or $0.04 per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

Zomedica, which is in the development stage, recorded no revenues in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, net loss resulted from research and development (“R&D”) expenses of $2,534,620 and $3,134,961, general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses of $1,248,490 and $2,408,662, and professional fees of $336,455 and $708,402. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the net loss was attributed to G&A expenses of $748,610 and $1,575,635, R&D expenses of $504,235 and $1,120,684 and professional fees of $314,658 and $696,194.

Expenditures for R&D for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were $2,534,620 and $3,134,961 compared to $504,235 and $1,120,684 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. The increases were primarily due to the up-front licensing fee related to the signing of a development, commercialization and exclusive distribution agreement with Seraph Biosciences, Inc. of $1,738,513, and accrued payments to Seraph for previously incurred development costs of $333,247 included in contracted expenditures. The up-front licensing fee represented the issuance of unregistered common shares having a value of $1,238,513 and a cash payment of $500,000. Other significant expenditures include contracted expenditures of $438,689 and $708,212, and salaries of $174,067 and $326,439 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. However, there was also a reduction in salaries, bonuses and benefits as we did not have a Chief Medical Officer in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. Overall there was an increased level of lab activities, including in vitro and in vivo work, to support the further development of our product candidates ZM-017, ZM-020, ZM-007, ZM-012, ZM-006 and ZM-011. We expect that our R&D expenditures in 2018 will be significantly higher than in 2017, due to the upfront and milestone payments of licensed technologies, initiation of pilot and pivotal studies related to our four investigational new animal drug applications, work related to verification and validation of ZM-020 and ZM-017, and additional veterinary pharmaceutical candidates, diagnostic developments and technologies.

G&A expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were $1,248,490 and $2,408,662 compared to $748,610 and $1,575,635 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. The increases were primarily due to significant expenses related to the addition of personnel, accounting for salaries of $859,268 and $1,502,555. Increases to salaries in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 include the addition of a Chief Commercial Officer, a Vice President of Sales and accrued severance to a former officer of the Company. Other expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 included regulatory expense of $90,142 and $193,700, travel and accommodation of $70,463 and $191,868, insurance costs of $77,282 and $157,743, and office expenses of $61,460 and $138,406. We expect that general and administrative expense will increase in 2018 and future periods as we increase our level of activity.

Professional fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were $336,455 and $708,402 compared to $314,658 and $696,194 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. Professional fees for the 2018 period consisted primarily of consulting fees incurred in connection with preparation and completion of additional SEC filings and updates, and costs incurred in being a public company across two jurisdictions, Canada and U.S.

Liquidity and Outstanding Share CapitalZomedica had cash and cash equivalents of $4,279,163 as of June 30, 2018, compared to $3,448,147 as of December 31, 2017. The increase in cash during the six months ended June 30, 2018 is mainly a result of the cash flows provided by financing activities, partially offset by cash flows used in operating activities as discussed below.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, cash flows used in operating activities amounted to $2,740,495 and $4,448,289. The largest uses of cash stemmed from an increase in salaries, bonus and benefits as we had 20 employees at June 30, 2018, compared to 18 employees at June 30, 2017. Other significant increases in uses of cash include the Seraph up-front licensing fee cash payment of $500,000, increased regulatory and insurance expenses related to our listing on the NYSE American, and increased travel and accommodation expenses related to business development and pre-marketing activities.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 the cash flows from financing activities relate to cash proceeds from financing of $4,002,496 and the exercise of stock options of $30,522 for the three months ended and $1,438,308 for the six months ended June 30, 2018.
