Report of Independent Auditor

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Aduro Biotech, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Aduro Biotech Holdings, Europe B.V. (formerly known as BioNovion Holding B.V.) (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and of cash flows, for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Aduro Biotech Holdings, Europe B.V. (formerly known as BioNovion Holding B.V.) as of December 31, 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Emphasis of Matter

As discussed in Note 7 “Subsequent Events” to the consolidated financial statements, the Company was acquired by Aduro Netherlands Coöperatief U.A., a subsidiary of Aduro Biotech, Inc., on October 30, 2015.

BIONOVION HOLDING B.V.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2014

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

BioNovion Holding B.V. (the “Company” or “BioNovion”) is a biopharmaceutical company based in the Netherlands that specializes in immune oncology antibody discovery. BioNovion’s B-cell selection platform enables the full exploration of immunoglobulin diversity in “humanized” mice. Its antibody portfolio includes immune checkpoint inhibitors and novel antibody formats. To validate the therapeutic potential of its antibodies in immune oncology, BioNovion closely collaborates with certain cancer institutes, such as the Dutch Cancer Institute in Amsterdam, NKI-AVL in Amsterdam, and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, Massachusetts.

The functional currency of BioNovion is Euro. The historical balance sheet of BioNovion has been converted from Euro to the United States dollar (“USD”) using the exchange rates of €1.00 to $1.21 based on the closing rate on December 31, 2014. The opening equity balances have been converted from Euro to USD using a historical exchange rate of €1.00 to $1.38 based on the closing rate on December 31, 2013 as the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 is the first year the amounts have been presented in USD. The historical BioNovion statement of operations and comprehensive income has been converted from Euro to USD using a historical average exchange rate of €1.00 to $1.33 from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, BioNovion B.V. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other market-specific and relevant assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash. The Company’s cash is held as bank deposits by a financial institution in the Netherlands. Management believes that the financial institution is financially sound, and accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to the financial institution.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Depreciation and amortization begins at the time the asset is placed in service. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Upon sale or retirement of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations.

 

8


The useful lives of the property and equipment are as follows:

 

Research and development equipment

   5 years

Furniture and office equipment

   5 years

Computer equipment

   5 years

Software

   5 years

Leasehold improvements

   Shorter of remaining lease term or estimated useful life

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets, including property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of each asset to the future undiscounted cash flows the asset is expected to generate over its remaining life. If the asset is considered to be impaired, the amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired asset. The Company has not recorded impairment of any long-lived assets during the year ended December 31, 2014.

Fair Value Measurement

Fair value accounting is applied for all financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Cash and accounts receivable are financial assets with carrying values that approximate fair value. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are financial liabilities with carrying values that approximate fair value.

Revenue Recognition

Collaboration revenue is generated through license and research agreements. The Company recognizes revenue when the following criteria have been met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement with the customer exists; price and terms of the arrangement are fixed or determinable; delivery of the product has occurred or the service has been performed in accordance with the terms of the arrangement; and collectability is reasonably assured.

For revenue agreements with multiple-element arrangements, such as license and development agreements, the Company analyzes the arrangements to determine whether the deliverables can be separated or whether they must be accounted for as a single unit of accounting. This determination is generally based on whether any deliverable has stand-alone value to the customer. This analysis also establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining how to allocate arrangement consideration to identified units of accounting. The selling price used for each unit of accounting is based on estimated selling price as neither vendor-specific nor third-party evidence is available. Revenue allocated is then recognized when the four basic revenue recognition criteria are met for each element.

The Company recognizes nonrefundable up-front license fees and guaranteed, time-based payments for contracts in which the Company has continued research and development involvement as revenue ratably over the development period, which approximates the expected efforts by the Company. The Company continually reviews such estimates based on progress toward product commercialization. If the deferral period estimate changes, the amount of revenue recognized during the period is adjusted to reflect the updated deferred balances as of the current period-end.

Milestone payments are recognized as revenue when the performance obligations, as defined in the contract, are achieved. Performance obligations typically consist of significant milestones in the development life cycle of the related technology, such as achievement of specific technological targets, successful results from field trials, filing for approval with regulatory agencies, approvals granted by regulatory agencies and commercial launch of a product utilizing the licensed technology.

Accrued Research and Development Costs

The Company accrues for estimated costs of research and development activities conducted by third-party service providers, which include contract manufacturing activities. The Company records the estimated costs of research and development activities based upon the estimated amount of services provided but not yet invoiced, and includes these costs in accrued liabilities in the balance sheet and within research and development expense in the statement of operations. As actual costs become known, the Company adjusts its accrued liabilities. The Company has not experienced any material differences between accrued costs and actual costs incurred.

 

9


Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and consist of salaries and benefits, lab supplies and allocated facility costs, as well as fees paid to third parties that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf. Amounts incurred in connection with license agreements are also included in research and development expense.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

The Company recognizes benefits of uncertain tax positions if it is more likely than not that such positions will be sustained upon examination based solely on their technical merits, as the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon the ultimate settlement. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes as a component of income tax expense or benefit. To date, there have been no interest or penalties charged in relation to the unrecognized tax benefits.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income represents all changes in shareholders’ equity except those resulting from distributions to shareholders. The difference between the Company’s net income and its comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2014 was due to cumulative translation adjustment from translating balances from Euro to USD.

3. Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment, net consist of the following (in thousands):

 

     December 31,

Research and development equipment

   $ 419   

Furniture and office equipment

   $ 628   
  

 

 

 

Property and equipment depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $23,000.

 

10


4. License Agreements

In March 2014, the Company entered into a license agreement with an undisclosed pharmaceutical company (“Pharma”). The agreement sets forth the parties’ respective obligations for development, commercialization, regulatory and manufacturing and supply activities for antibody product candidates.

In exchange for the licenses and research and development services under the agreement, Pharma paid the Company an upfront cash payment of $15.0 million in April 2014. The Company is eligible to receive future contingent payments, including a $2.0 million research milestone, up to $312.0 million in potential development milestone payments for each of two product candidates, and up to $135.0 million in commercial and net sales milestones for each of two products. In addition, the Company is eligible to receive royalties in the mid-single digits to low teens based on net sales of the products.

The Company identified the following performance deliverables under the agreement: 1) the license, 2) the obligation to provide research activities and 3) the obligation to participate on a Joint Research Committe (“JRC”).

The Company considered the provisions of the multiple-element arrangement guidance in determining how to recognize the total consideration of the agreement. The Company determined that none of the deliverables have standalone value; all of these obligations will be delivered throughout the estimated period of performance and therefore are accounted for as a single unit of accounting. The total upfront consideration under this agreement is being recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the two year period of performance. The Company recognized revenue of $5.9 million in 2014 related to this agreement and recorded deferred revenue of $8.2 million at December 31, 2014.

The Company determined that all of the future contingent payments meet the definition of a milestone. Accordingly, revenue for the achievement of these milestones will be recognized in the period when the milestone is achieved and collectability is reasonably assured. As of December 31, 2014, no amounts had been recognized as revenue for any of these milestones.

5. Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2014 was nil. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $0.3 million.

At December 31, 2014, the Company maintained a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance was determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires an assessment of both positive and negative evidence when determining whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets are recoverable. Such assessment is required on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. The Company’s history of cumulative losses required that a full valuation allowance be recorded against the net deferred tax assets. The Company intends to maintain a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets until sufficient positive evidence exists to support reversal of the valuation allowance.

6. Commitments and Contingencies

Facilities

In February 2012, the Company entered into a non-cancelable facility lease agreement for office facilities in Oss Life Sciences Park, Netherlands. The lease commenced on February 13th, 2012 and expires 3 years after the commencement date. The lease has a three-year renewal option prior to expiration that the Company elected not to exercise. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the noncancelable term of the lease.

Future aggregate minimum lease payments under the noncancelable operating leases as of December 31, 2014 (in thousands):

7. Subsequent Events

On February 19, 2015, BioNovion Holding B.V. entered into a contract with Genmab A/S to jointly develop certain antibody product candidates. The agreement sets out terms by which both parties will share equally all joint development costs as well as profits at commercialization for Collaboration products. Unilateral product costs will be borne by the developing party, and upfront, certain milestones and royalties will be paid by the non-developing party.

On October 30, 2015, the Company was acquired by Aduro Netherlands Coöperatief U.A., a subsidiary of Aduro Biotech Inc. (“Aduro”), for purchase consideration of approximately €14.5 million ($15.9 million) in cash and the issuance of 697,306 shares of Aduro common stock. The former shareholders of the Company (the “Sellers”) have the opportunity to receive additional contingent payments from Aduro as follows: (i) €6.0 million ($6.5 million) upon acceptance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration of an investigational new drug application for a specified BioNovion antibody product candidate; and (ii) €20.0 million ($22.0 million) upon receipt by the Company of a $40.0 million milestone payment by the licensee under a pre-existing antibody discovery and license agreement, triggered by marketing authorization for the first indication in the United States for a specified BioNovion antibody product candidate.

The Company has reviewed and evaluated subsequent events that occurred through January 13, 2016, the date the financial statements were available to be issued, and determined that no additional subsequent events had occurred that would require recognition in these financial statements and all material subsequent events that require disclosure have been disclosed.

BIONOVION HOLDING B.V.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

BioNovion Holding B.V. (the “Company” or “BioNovion”) is a biopharmaceutical company based in the Netherlands that specializes in immune oncology antibody discovery. BioNovion’s B-cell selection platform enables the full exploration of immunoglobulin diversity in “humanized” mice. Its antibody portfolio includes immune checkpoint inhibitors and novel antibody formats. To validate the therapeutic potential of its antibodies in immune oncology, BioNovion closely collaborates with certain cancer institutes, such as the Dutch Cancer Institute in Amsterdam, NKI-AVL in Amsterdam, and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, Massachusetts.

The functional currency of BioNovion is Euro. The historical balance sheets of BioNovion have been converted from Euro to the United States dollar (“USD”) using the exchange rate of €1.00 to $1.12 and €1.00 to $1.21 based on the closing rate on September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The opening equity balances have been converted from Euro to USD using a historical exchange rate of €1.00 to $1.38 based on the closing rate on December 31, 2013 as the nine months ended September 30, 2014 is the first period the amounts have been presented in USD. The historical BioNovion statements of operations and comprehensive income has been converted from Euro to USD using a historical average exchange rate of €1.00 to $1.12 and €1.00 to $1.36 from January 1, 2015 to September 30, 2015 and January 1, 2014 to September 30, 2014, respectively.

The accompanying financial statements as of September 30, 2015 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 are unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, and include all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments. The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or any other period.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, BioNovion B.V. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other market-specific and relevant assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Collaboration revenue is generated through license and research agreements. The Company recognizes revenue when the following criteria have been met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement with the customer exists; price and terms of the arrangement are fixed or determinable; delivery of the product has occurred or the service has been performed in accordance with the terms of the arrangement; and collectability is reasonably assured.

BIONOVION HOLDING B.V.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

For revenue agreements with multiple-element arrangements, such as license and development agreements, the Company analyzes the arrangements to determine whether the deliverables can be separated or whether they must be accounted for as a single unit of accounting. This determination is generally based on whether any deliverable has stand-alone value to the customer. This analysis also establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining how to allocate arrangement consideration to identified units of accounting. The selling price used for each unit of accounting is based on estimated selling price as neither vendor-specific nor third-party evidence is available. Revenue allocated is then recognized when the four basic revenue recognition criteria are met for each element.

The Company recognizes nonrefundable up-front license fees and guaranteed, time-based payments for contracts in which the Company has continued research and development involvement as revenue ratably over the development period, which approximates the expected efforts by the Company. The Company continually reviews such estimates based on progress toward product commercialization. If the deferral period estimate changes, the amount of revenue recognized during the period is adjusted to reflect the updated deferred balances as of the current period-end.

Milestone payments are recognized as revenue when the performance obligations, as defined in the contract, are achieved. Performance obligations typically consist of significant milestones in the development life cycle of the related technology, such as achievement of specific technological targets, successful results from field trials, filing for approval with regulatory agencies, approvals granted by regulatory agencies and commercial launch of a product utilizing the licensed technology.

Accrued Research and Development Costs

The Company accrues for estimated costs of research and development activities conducted by third-party service providers, which include contract manufacturing activities. The Company records the estimated costs of research and development activities based upon the estimated amount of services provided but not yet invoiced, and includes these costs in accrued liabilities in the balance sheets and within research and development expense in the statements of operations. As actual costs become known, the Company adjusts its accrued liabilities. The Company has not experienced any material differences between accrued costs and actual costs incurred.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and consist of salaries and benefits, lab supplies and allocated facility costs, as well as fees paid to third parties that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf. Amounts incurred in connection with license agreements are also included in research and development expense.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

The Company recognizes benefits of uncertain tax positions if it is more likely than not that such positions will be sustained upon examination based solely on their technical merits, as the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon the ultimate settlement. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes as a component of income tax expense or benefit. To date, there have been no interest or penalties charged in relation to the unrecognized tax benefits.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income represents all changes in shareholders’ equity except those resulting from and distributions to shareholders. The difference between the Company’s net income and its comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was due to cumulative translation adjustment from translating balances from Euro to USD.

Property and equipment depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $136,000 and $9,000, respectively.

4. License Agreements

In March 2014, the Company entered into a license agreement with an undisclosed pharmaceutical company (“Pharma”). The agreement sets forth the parties’ respective obligations for development, commercialization, regulatory and manufacturing and supply activities for antibody product candidates.

In exchange for the licenses and research and development services under the agreement, Pharma paid the Company an upfront cash payment of $15.0 million in April 2014. The Company is eligible to receive future contingent payments, including a $2.0 million research milestone, up to $312.0 million in potential development milestone payments for each of two product candidates, and up to $135.0 million in commercial and net sales milestones for each of two products. In addition, the Company is eligible to receive royalties in the mid-single digits to low teens based on net sales of the products.

The Company identified the following performance deliverables under the agreement: 1) the license, 2) the obligation to provide research activities and 3) the obligation to participate on a Joint Research Committe (“JRC”).

The Company considered the provisions of the multiple-element arrangement guidance in determining how to recognize the total consideration of the agreement. The Company determined that none of the deliverables have standalone value; all of these obligations will be delivered throughout the estimated period of performance and therefore are accounted for as a single unit of accounting. The total upfront consideration under this agreement is being recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the two year period of performance. The Company recognized revenue of $4.7 million and $4.1 million related to this agreement during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and recorded deferred revenue of $2.9 and $8.2 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

The Company determined that all of the future contingent payments meet the definition of a milestone. Accordingly, revenue for the achievement of these milestones will be recognized in the period when the milestone is achieved and collectability is reasonably assured. As of September 30, 2015, and September 30, 2014 no amounts had been recognized as revenue for any of these milestones.

BIONOVION HOLDING B.V.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

On February 19, 2015, BioNovion Holding B.V. entered into a contract with Genmab A/S to jointly develop certain antibody product candidates. The agreement sets out terms by which both parties will share equally all joint development costs as well as profits at commercialization for Collaboration products. Unilateral product costs will be borne by the developing party, and upfront, certain milestones and royalties will be paid by the non-developing party.

5. Income Taxes

Income tax expense was nil for the periods ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014. As of September 30, 2015, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $0.4 million.

At September 30, 2015, the Company maintained a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance was determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires an assessment of both positive and negative evidence when determining whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets are recoverable. Such assessment is required on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. The Company’s history of cumulative losses required that a full valuation allowance be recorded against the net deferred tax assets. The Company intends to maintain a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets until sufficient positive evidence exists to support reversal of the valuation allowance.

6. Subsequent Events

On October 30, 2015, the Company was acquired by Aduro Netherlands Coöperatief U.A., a subsidiary of Aduro Biotech Inc. (“Aduro”), for purchase consideration of approximately €14.5 million ($15.9 million) cash and 697,306 shares of Aduro common stock. The former shareholders of the Company (the “Sellers”) have the opportunity to receive additional contingent payments from Aduro as follows: (i) €6.0 million ($6.5 million) upon acceptance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration of an investigational new drug application for a specified BioNovion antibody product candidate; and (ii) €20.0 million ($22.0 million) upon receipt by the Company of a $40.0 million milestone payment by the licensee under a pre-existing antibody discovery and license agreement, triggered by marketing authorization for the first indication in the United States for a specified BioNovion antibody product candidate.

The Company has reviewed and evaluated subsequent events that occurred through January 13, 2016, the date the financial statements were available to be issued, and determined that no additional subsequent events had occurred that would require recognition in these financial statements and all material subsequent events that require disclosure have been disclosed.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA

CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation

On October 30, 2015, Aduro Netherlands Coöperatief U.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired the outstanding shares of BioNovion (the “Acquisition”) in exchange for cash and the Company’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $37.0 million. BioNovion was subsequently renamed Aduro Biotech Holdings, Europe B.V. BioNovion is a privately-held company based in the Netherlands that specializes in immune oncology antibody discovery.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet at September 30, 2015 gives effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on September 30, 2015. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and for the year ended December 31, 2014 are presented as if the Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2014.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based upon the historical financial statements of Aduro and BioNovion and certain adjustments which we believe are reasonable to give effect to the Acquisition. These adjustments are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions, and therefore the actual adjustments will likely differ from the pro forma adjustments. The pro forma financial data included herein was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting for the business combination. The fair value amounts assigned to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are considered preliminary at this time. However, we believe that the preliminary determination of fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities and other related assumptions utilized in preparing the pro forma financial data provide a reasonable basis for presenting the pro forma effects of the Acquisition. The pro forma financial data for the year ended December 31, 2014 includes Aduro’s actual results for that period and does not give effect to Aduro’s initial public offering that occurred in 2015.

Acquisition of BioNovion

The Acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting with the Company treated as the accounting acquirer. At the date of acquisition, the purchase price was preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair market values, and is subject to change. Any change to the initial estimates of the fair value of the assets and liabilities assumed will be allocated to goodwill.

The acquisition consideration is denominated in Euros and has been translated into U.S. dollars (“USD”) using the Euro/USD exchange rate at September 30, 2015, the deemed acquisition date for the pro forma condensed combined balance sheet. The acquisition consideration was comprised of (in thousands):

 

Cash(1)

   $ 21,445   

Stock

     11,699   

Fair value of Contingent Purchase Price

     3,857   
  

 

 

 

Total acquisition consideration

   $ 37,001   
  

 

 

 

 

(1)  The cash portion of the acquisition consideration is comprised of an upfront cash amount of $16.3 million, BioNovion’s closing cash balance at September 30, 2015 of $4.7 million and a working capital adjustment of $0.5 million based on BioNovion’s closing working capital balances at September 30, 2015. The balance of the cash portion of the acquisition consideration will be different from the cash paid upon the closing of the Acquisition due to the difference in the deemed acquisition date (September 30, 2015 as opposed to October 30, 2015) and the Euro/USD exchange rate.

The Company will pay additional consideration (“Contingent Purchase Price”) upon the achievement of certain development milestones associated with specified BioNovion antibody product candidates. The fair value of the Contingent Purchase Price of $3.9 million was estimated based on the risk-adjusted present value of the amount payable.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, identifiable assets and liabilities of BioNovion, including identifiable intangible assets, were recorded based on their estimated fair values as of the effective time of the Acquisition. Tangible assets and liabilities were valued at their respective carrying amounts. Management believes that these amounts approximate their current fair values as of the deemed acquisition date of September 30, 2015.

Identifiable intangible assets acquired include license and research agreements and in-process research and development. The fair value of intangible assets is based on management’s preliminary valuation as of the deemed acquisition date of September 30, 2015:

 

    License agreement: BioNovion has a license and research agreement with a third party for the development of clinical candidates. Under this agreement, BioNovion received an upfront fee of $15.0 million in 2014. The Company is eligible to receive future contingent payments, including a $2.0 million research milestone, up to $312.0 million in potential development milestone payments for each of two product candidates, and up to $135.0 million in commercial and net sales milestones for each of two products. In addition, the Company is eligible to receive royalties in the mid-single digits to low teens based on net sales of the products. Management estimated that $11.0 million represents the fair value of this license and research agreement. The fair value of this agreement was determined using the income approach, which was based on forecasts prepared by management. The fair value of the license and research agreement is capitalized as an intangible asset as of the closing date of the Acquisition and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected remaining term of 20 years.

 

    In-process research and development: In-process research and development (“IPR&D”) represents incomplete research and development projects at BioNovion. Management estimated that $17.6 million of the acquisition consideration represents the fair value of acquired IPR&D. The fair value of IPR&D was determined using the income approach, which was based on forecasts prepared by management. The fair value of the IPR&D was capitalized as of the closing date of the Acquisition and is subsequently accounted for as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. Accordingly, during the development period after the closing date, these assets will not be amortized but will be subject to periodic impairment testing. Upon successful completion of the development process for the acquired IPR&D projects, determination of the useful life of the asset will be made and amortization of the asset would begin over its remaining estimated useful life.

Goodwill, which represents the purchase price in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired, is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Goodwill will not be amortized but will be tested for impairment at least annually or whenever certain indicators of impairment are present. If, in the future, it is determined that goodwill is impaired, an impairment charge would be recorded at that time. There are a number of factors contributing to the amount of goodwill, including BioNovion’s workforce, presence in Europe, and the expectation that the acquisition of BioNovion will create synergies which will provide future value.

The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities, assuming the Acquisition had closed on September 30, 2015, are summarized below (in thousands). These amounts are preliminary and subject to change. Any change to the initial estimates of the fair value of the assets and liabilities will be allocated to goodwill.

2. Pro Forma Adjustments

Pro forma adjustments are necessary to reflect the acquisition consideration exchanged and to adjust amounts related to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of BioNovion to reflect the preliminary estimate of their fair values, and to reflect the impact on the statements of operations of the Acquisition as if the companies had been combined during the periods presented therein. The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are as follows:

 

  (a) To record the cash payment made by the Company at the closing of the Acquisition.

 

  (b) To record goodwill and the estimated fair value of BioNovion’s identifiable intangible assets acquired.

 

  (c) To record transaction costs incurred by the Company subsequent to September 30, 2015.

 

  (d) To write-off BioNovion’s deferred revenue as the fair value of future service obligations is nil.

 

  (e) To record Contingent Purchase Price of the Acquisition.

 

  (f) To record the elimination of BioNovion’s equity consisting of common stock, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and retained earnings.

 

  (g) To record the issuance of 425,722 shares of the Company’s common stock at fair value at the closing of the Acquisition.

 

  (h) To record stock-based compensation expense for the vested portion of 271,584 shares of the Company’s common stock issued to former BioNovion executives at the closing of the Acquisition. These shares vest over a period ranging between one to four years and require future services by the executives.

 

  (i) To record stock-based compensation expense for options to purchase Aduro common stock granted to former BioNovion executives that joined Aduro as part of the acquisition. The shares vest over a period of four years and require future services by the executives.

 

  (j) To record amortization expense of the intangible assets acquired in the Acquisition.

 

  (k) To record the issuance of 425,722 shares of the Company’s common stock at closing of the Acquisition and the weighted average number of shares issued to former BioNovion executives that vested during the period.

 

  (l) To eliminate transaction costs recorded in the statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

 

  (m) To record tax benefit for pro forma adjustments related to intangible asset amortization. The transaction costs and stock-based compensation, which are for foreign employees, give rise to a permanent tax difference that offsets the pro forma expense adjustment.

3. Non-recurring Transaction Costs

The Company and BioNovion have incurred, and the Company will continue to incur, certain non-recurring transaction expenses in connection with the Acquisition. Non-recurring transaction expenses incurred were $0.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and are reflected as an adjustment to reduce general and administrative expenses in the pro forma condensed combined statement of operations, as they are non-recurring and directly attributable to the Acquisition. The pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2015 includes an adjustment of $1.5 million to accrued liabilities for transaction expenses incurred by the Company and BioNovion subsequent to September 30, 2015 (see Note 2, Pro Forma Adjustments above). These transaction expenses are not reflected in the pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as they are not expected to have a continuing impact on operations.
