EXPLANATORY NOTE

On October18, 2024 (the "Closing Date"), subsequent to the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024, the fiscal quarter to which this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this "Report") relates, the Nevada corporation formerly known as Kintara Therapeutics, Inc. ("Kintara") consummated a previously announced merger transaction in accordance with the terms of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 2, 2024 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among Kintara, Kayak Mergeco, Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct wholly owned subsidiary of Kintara ("Merger Sub"), and TuHURA Biosciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("TuHURA"), pursuant to which, Merger Sub merged with and into TuHURA, with TuHURA surviving as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Kintara and the surviving corporation of the merger (the "Merger"). In connection with the completion of the Merger, effective at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on the Closing Date, Kintara effected a 1-for-35 reverse stock split (the "Reverse Stock Split") of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share. Effective at 12:03 a.m. Eastern Time on the Closing Date, Kintara completed the merger, and effective at 12:04 a.m. Eastern Time on the Closing Date, Kintara changed its name to "TuHURA Biosciences, Inc."

Under the terms of the Merger, at the effective time of the Merger, (i) Kintara issued an aggregate of approximately 40,441,605 shares of Common Stock to TuHURA stockholders, based on an exchange ratio of 0.1789 (after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split) shares of Kintara's common stock for each share of TuHURA common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, (ii) each then-outstanding TuHURA stock option was assumed and converted into an option to purchase shares of Kintara common stock subject to certain adjustments based on the exchange ratio as set forth in the Merger Agreement, and (iii) each then-outstanding warrant to purchase shares of TuHURA common stock was assumed and converted into and exchangeable based on the exchange ratio for a warrant of like tenor entitling the holder to purchase shares of Kintara common stock.

The issuance of the shares of Kintara's common stock to the former stockholders of TuHURA was registered with the SEC on the Kintara's Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-279368), as amended.

The shares of Kintara's common stock listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, previously trading through the close of business on Thursday, October 17, 2024 under the ticker symbol "KTRA," commenced trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a post-Reverse Stock Split adjusted basis and post-Merger basis under the ticker symbol "HURA" on Friday, October 18, 2024. Kintara's common stock is represented by a new CUSIP number, 898920 103.

In connection with the Merger, Kintara entered into a Contingent Value Rights Agreement (the "CVR Agreement") with Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, pursuant to which the Kintara common stock holders and Kintara common stock warrant holders of record as of immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger and Reverse Stock Split received one contingent value right (a "CVR") for each outstanding share of common stock held by such stockholder (or, in the case of warrants, each share of common stock for which such warrant is exercisable into). Pursuant to the CVR Agreement, upon the achievement of (i) Kintara enrolling a minimum of ten cutaneous metastatic breast cancer patients in a study to determine whether a dose of Kintara's REM-001 lower than 1.2 mg/kg elicits a treatment effect similar to that seen in prior studies of REM-001 at the 1.2 mg/kg dose and (ii) such patients enrolled in the study complete eight weeks of follow-up, in each case, on or before December 31, 2025, as set forth in the CVR Agreement (the holders of CVRs are entitled, in the aggregate, to receive approximately 1,539,918 shares of common stock (which gives effect to the Reverse Stock Split).

Unless context otherwise requires, the use of "we," "us," "our," and the "Company" in this Report refers to Kintara Therapeutics, Inc., a Nevada corporation pre-Merger and its wholly owned subsidiaries.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the information in this Report does not reflect the consummation of the Merger, which, as discussed above, occurred subsequent to the period covered hereunder.

Background

Kintara Therapeutics, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Kintara" or the "Company"), is a clinical stage, biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of new cancer therapies.

We are the parent company of Del Mar (BC), a British Columbia, Canada corporation, and Adgero Biopharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc., a Delaware Corporation ("Adgero"). We are also the parent company to 0959454 B.C. Ltd. ("Callco") and 0959456 B.C. Ltd. ("Exchangeco"), which are British Columbia, Canada corporations. Callco and Exchangeco were formed to facilitate the Reverse Acquisition that occurred in 2013.

References to "we," "us," and "our," refer to Kintara and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Del Mar Pharmaceuticals (BC) Ltd. ("Del Mar (BC)"), Adgero, Adgero Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Adgero Bio"), Callco, and Exchangeco.

We are dedicated to the development of novel cancer therapies for patients with unmet medical needs. Our mission is to benefit patients by developing and commercializing anti-cancer therapies for patients whose solid tumors exhibit features that make them resistant to, or unlikely to respond to, currently available therapies, with particular focus on orphan cancer indications.

Our lead candidate is REM-001, a late-stage photodynamic therapy ("PDT") for the treatment of cutaneous metastatic breast cancer ("CMBC"). PDT is a treatment that uses light sensitive compounds, or photosensitizers, that, when exposed to specific wavelengths of light, act as a catalyst to produce a form of reactive oxygen that induces local tumor cell death.

Recent Events

Upcoming Clinical Milestones

Effective July 1, 2023, we were awarded a $2,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health ("NIH") to be received over a two-year period as expenses are incurred. The grant from the NIH will fund the majority of expenses related to the REM-001 CMBC 15-patient clinical study (the "REM-001 Study"). As a result of receiving the NIH grant, we re-initiated our REM-001 program and have opened enrollment at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, where we have initiated treatment in a total of four patients as of November 14, 2024. We expect to complete enrollment of patients in the REM-001 Study in the fourth calendar quarter of 2024.

REM-001

Background

Through REM-001, we are developing our photodynamic therapy ("PDT") for the treatment of rare, unmet medical needs. PDT is a treatment that uses light sensitive compounds, or photosensitizers, that, when exposed to specific wavelengths of light, act as catalysts to produce a form of oxygen that induces local tumor cell death. REM-001 consists of three parts: the laser light source, the light delivery device, and the REM-001 drug product (collectively, the "REM-001 Therapy"). REM-001 consists of an active pharmaceutical ingredient ("API") in a lipid formulation. The REM-001 API is SnET2 ("tin ethyl etiopurpurin") which is a second-generation PDT photosensitizer agent. We believe REM-001 possesses multiple advantages over earlier generation PDT compounds.

Our lead indication for REM-001 is CMBC which is a disease that may strike individuals with advanced breast cancer and for which effective treatment options are limited. In four Phase 2 and/or Phase 3 clinical studies in CMBC patients, primarily targeting patients who had previously received chemotherapy and failed radiation therapy, REM-001 Therapy was able to reduce, or eliminate, a substantial number of the treated CMBC tumors. Specifically, our analysis of the data collected from these studies indicates that in approximately 80% of evaluable tumor sites treated with REM-001 Therapy, there was a complete response; meaning that follow-up clinical assessments indicated no visible evidence of the tumor remaining. We believe clinical data indicates that REM-001 Therapy holds promise as a treatment to locally eliminate, or slow the growth of, treated cutaneous cancerous tumors in this difficult-to-treat patient population.

Numerous approaches have been utilized to treat CMBC patients, including various forms of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgical excision, hyperthermia, cryotherapy, electro-chemotherapy, topical drugs, and intra-lesional chemotherapy injections. However, for the most part, we believe that these therapies are often inadequate given the limited efficacy, toxicities and/or side effects of each. We believe our REM-001 Therapy has several advantages for this indication: it can be highly directed to the tumor site, has minimal systemic effects or normal tissue toxicities, can be used in conjunction with other therapies, and can be periodically repeated.

Our REM-001 Therapy product consists of three parts: the DD series laser light source (or equivalent), the ML2-0400 light delivery device (or equivalent) and the drug REM-001. In use, REM-001 is first administered by intravenous infusion and allowed to distribute within the body and be taken up by the tumors. Tumors are then illuminated with light using the light delivery device, which is attached to the laser light source, so that the accumulated REM-001 can be activated for the desired clinical effect.

As a result of our review of the historical data, we submitted questions to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") under a Type C format to review the technology and results and determine the anticipated requirements for regulatory approval. On March 3, 2017, we received the FDA's written response to these questions. Based on that response, we have successfully

manufactured REM-001 and developed light delivery devices for our planned 15-patient Phase 2 study. We received a Study May Proceed letter from the FDA for our 15-patient study on August 9, 2022.

On October 19, 2022, we announced that the REM-001 program in CMBC was paused to conserve cash which will be used to support the funding of the GBM AGILE Study. Effective July 1, 2023, we were awarded a two-year $2,000 Small Business Innovation Research grant from the National Institutes of Health to support the clinical development of REM-001 for the treatment of CMBC. The grant will be received in tranches of approximately $1,250 for the period July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024, and approximately $750 for the period July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025. As a result of receiving the grant, we re-initiated our REM-001 program and have opened enrollment at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, where we have initiated treatment in a total of 4 patients as of November 14, 2024. We expect to complete enrollment of patients in the REM-001 Study in the fourth calendar quarter of 2024.

REM-001 Regulatory Filings

On August 9, 2022, we announced that we received a Study May Proceed letter from the FDA to begin our 15-patient study evaluating REM-001 PDT for the treatment of CMBC. The FDA has granted us Fast Track Designation ("FTD") for REM-001 in CMBC.

VAL-083

On October 31, 2023, we announced preliminary topline results for VAL-083 from the GBM AGILE study. VAL-083 did not perform better than the current standards of care in glioblastoma and the preliminary safety data was similar to that of the current standards of care used to treat glioblastoma. As a result, we terminated the development of VAL-083. On February 13, 2024, we sent an Opt-Out Notice to Valent under the Valent Assignment Agreement whereby we assigned all rights, title, and interest in and to the patents for VAL-083 to Valent. As a result, we granted Valent a non-exclusive, fully-paid, royalty-free, perpetual, worldwide and non-transferable license, subject to limited exceptions. We are entitled to receive royalties from Valent's subsequent commercialization of VAL-083 equal to 5% of Valent Net Sales (as defined in the Valent Assignment Agreement).

Merger Agreement

See "Recent Events" above for a description of the Merger Agreement and transactions consummated thereby.

Compensation Matters

Robert E. Hoffman, former Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and the Company are parties to the Hoffman Employment Agreement, and on October 4, 2024, the Company and Mr. Hoffman entered into the Hoffman Amendment pursuant to the which, all outstanding stock options previously granted to Mr. Hoffman by the Company vested in full on October 4, 2024 in exchange for Mr. Hoffman agreeing to extend the non-competition restrictions of the Hoffman Employment Agreement for a period of twelve months following the date that his employment terminates with the Company.

Corporate History

We are a Nevada corporation formed on June 24, 2009, under the name Berry Only Inc. On January 25, 2013, we entered into and closed an exchange agreement (the "Exchange Agreement"), with Del Mar (BC), Callco, and Exchangeco and the security holders of Del Mar (BC). Upon completion of the Exchange Agreement, Del Mar (BC) became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours (the "Reverse Acquisition").

On August 19, 2020, we acquired Adgero and changed our name from DelMar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to Kintara Therapeutics, Inc. We are the parent company to the following entities:

 Del Mar (BC), a British Columbia, Canada corporation incorporated on April 6, 2010, which is a clinical stage company with a focus on the development of drugs for the treatment of cancer;

 Adgero, a Delaware corporation incorporated on October 26, 2015, which is a clinical stage company with a focus on the development of photodynamic therapy for the treatment of rare, unmet medical needs, specifically orphan cancer indications;

 Adgero Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. a Delaware corporation incorporated on November 16, 2007; and

 Callco and Exchangeco which are British Columbia, Canada corporations. Callco and Exchangeco were formed to facilitate the Reverse Acquisition.

On October 18, 2024, we completed the Merger with TuHURA, and following the consummation of the Merger, changed our name from Kintara Therapeutics, Inc. to TuHURA Biosciences, Inc.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses decreased to $252 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, from $1,859 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was largely attributable to lower clinical development costs and related decreases in personnel and patent costs incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to termination of the development of VAL-083 in October of 2023. Non-cash, share-based compensation expense decreased to $38 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, from $86 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, due to the recognition of higher compensation expense recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2023, for stock options granted in August 2023.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses were $1,957 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $1,103 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. A significant portion of the increase was a result of higher professional fees and special meeting fees incurred in relation to the transaction with TuHURA, offset by lower non-cash, share-based compensation expenses and a reduction in travel costs in the current three months compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. Non-cash, share-based compensation expense decreased to $63 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, from $121 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, due to the recognition of higher compensation expense recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2023, for stock options granted in August 2023. Personnel, facilities, office and sundry costs have increased primarily due to special meeting costs, filing fees, and shareholder communication costs related to the transaction with TuHURA.

Preferred Share Dividends

For each of the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, we recorded $2 related to the cash dividend payable to Valent on the Series A Preferred Stock. The dividend has been recorded as a direct increase in accumulated deficit for both periods. In addition, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded $13 (2023 - $173) related to the stock dividend payable to investors on the Series C Preferred Stock. The dividends have been recorded as a direct increase in accumulated deficit for both periods.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,889 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $1,317 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, we reported net losses of $2,161 and $2,962, respectively. Adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2024, included stock option expense of $98 and restricted stock unit expense of $3 being recognized during the current period compared to $160 and $47, respectively, in the same period in the prior fiscal year.

The most significant change in working capital for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was related to a decrease in prepaid expenses, taxes and other receivables of $156. The most significant changes in working capital for the three months ended September 30, 2023, were related to the use of clinical trial deposit to settle clinical trial expenses of $1,075 and settlement of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $214.

Investing Activities

There was no investing activity during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $nil for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $2 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 for the payment of the quarterly Series A Preferred Share dividend, which was in accounts payable and accrued liabilities at September 30, 2024.

Going Concern and Capital Expenditure Requirements

Going Concern and Management Plans

(See note 1 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements)

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that we will continue our operations for the foreseeable future and contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we reported a loss of $2,161 and a negative cash flow from operations of $1,889. We had an accumulated deficit of $162,052 and had cash and cash equivalents of $3,020 as of September 30, 2024. We are in the clinical stage and have not generated any revenues to date. We do not have the prospect of achieving revenues until such time that our product candidate is commercialized, or partnered, which may not ever occur. On August 2, 2022, we entered into the Purchase Agreement under which we received approximately $2,008 in net proceeds as of September 30, 2024, for the issuance of an aggregate of 19 shares of common stock under the Purchase Agreement. On October 9, 2023, we received stockholder approval to issue 20% or more of our outstanding shares as of the date we entered into the Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park. On February 22, 2024, we determined that we have concluded utilization of the equity facility pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement. In addition, on June 28, 2023, we announced that we had been awarded approximately $2,000 in grant funding for our REM-001 project.

On September 19, 2023, we entered into a Sales Agreement, (the "Sales Agreement") with AGP pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time, through AGP, as sales agent and/or principal, shares of common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $10,900 (the "ATM Facility"). From October 31, 2023, until September 30, 2024, we raised $10,471 in net proceeds from the sale of 1,519 shares of our common stock under the ATM Facility. On February 22, 2024, we determined that we have concluded utilization of the ATM facility.

Even with the proceeds from the grant funding, the stock purchase financing, and the ATM sales, we will require significant additional funding to maintain our clinical trials, research and development projects, and for general operations. These circumstances

indicate substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date of filing of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Consequently, management began pursuing various financing alternatives to fund our operations in the short and long term and so we can continue as a going concern. In addition, we initiated a process to explore and review a range of strategic alternatives focused on maximizing shareholder value, and as a result, entered into the Merger Agreement for the Merger with TuHURA, which closed on October 18, 2024. Our ability to raise additional capital is unknown and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence. We may not be able to raise sufficient additional capital and may tailor our drug candidate development program based on the amount of funding we are able to raise in the future. Nevertheless, there is no assurance that these initiatives will be successful.

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including but not limited to:

Until we can generate a sufficient amount of product revenue to finance our cash requirements, which we may never do, we expect to finance future cash needs primarily through public or private equity offerings, or strategic collaborations. The sale of equity and convertible debt securities may result in dilution to our stockholders and certain of those securities may have rights senior to those of our shares of capital stock. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of preferred stock, convertible debt securities or other debt financing, these securities or other debt could contain covenants that would restrict our operations. Any other third-party funding arrangement could require us to relinquish valuable rights. Economic conditions may affect the availability of funds and activity in equity markets. We do not know whether additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are not able to secure additional funding when needed, we may have to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of our clinical trials or research and development programs or make changes to our operating plan, file for bankruptcy protection or pursue a dissolution of the Company and liquidation of all of our remaining assets. In such an event, the amount of cash available for distribution to our shareholders, if any, will depend heavily on the timing of such decision, as with the passage of time the amount of cash available for distribution will be reduced as we continue to fund our operations. We cannot provide assurance as to the amount of cash that will be available to distribute to shareholders, if any, after paying our debts and other obligations and setting aside funds for reserves, nor as to the timing of any such distribution, if any.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, requires companies to establish accounting policies and to make estimates that affect both the amount and timing of the recording of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Some of these estimates require judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and therefore actual results may differ from those estimates.

A detailed presentation of all of our significant accounting policies and the estimates derived therefrom is included in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2024, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on October 7, 2024. While all of the significant accounting policies are important to our consolidated financial statements, the following accounting policies and the estimates derived therefrom are critical:

 Fair value of financial instruments

Accruals for research and development expenses and clinical trials

Fair value of financial instruments

We recognize compensation costs resulting from the issuance of stock-based awards to employees, non-employees and directors as an expense in the statement of operations over the service period based on a measurement of fair value for each stock-based award. Prior to our adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting("ASU 2018-07"), stock options granted to non-employee consultants were revalued at the end of each reporting period until vested using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the changes in their fair value were recorded as adjustments to expense over the related vesting period. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, the determination of grant-date fair value for stock option awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes model which includes variables such as the expected volatility of our share price, the anticipated exercise behavior of its grantee, interest rates, and dividend yields. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, we utilized the plain vanilla method to determine the expected life of stock options. These variables are projected based on our historical data, experience, and other factors. Changes in any of these variables could result in material adjustments to the expense recognized for share-based payments. Such value is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, net of actual forfeitures, using the accelerated attribution method. We recognize forfeitures as they occur. The estimation of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results, or updated estimates, differ from current estimates, such amounts are recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, we issued stock options to our officers. The determination of grant-date fair value for options granted was estimated using the Black-Scholes model which includes variables such as the expected volatility of our share price, interest rates, dividend yields, and the term of the option.

Accruals for research and development expenses and clinical trials

As part of the process of preparing our financial statements, we are required to estimate our expenses resulting from our obligations under contracts with vendors, clinical research organizations and consultants, and under clinical site agreements in connection with conducting clinical trials. The financial terms of these contracts are subject to negotiations, which vary from contract to contract and may result in payment terms that do not match the periods over which materials or services are provided under such contracts. Our objective is to reflect the appropriate expenses in our financial statements by matching those expenses with the period in which services are performed and efforts are expended. We account for these expenses according to the timing of various aspects of the expenses. We determine accrual estimates by taking into account discussion with applicable personnel and outside service providers as to the progress of clinical trials, or the services completed. During the course of a clinical trial, we adjust our clinical expense recognition if actual results differ from our estimates. We make estimates of our accrued expenses as of each balance sheet date based on the facts and circumstances known to us at that time. Our clinical trial accruals are dependent upon the timely and accurate reporting of contract research organizations and other third-party vendors. Although we do not expect our estimates to be materially different from amounts actually incurred, our understanding of the status and timing of services performed relative to the actual status and timing of services performed may vary and may result in us reporting amounts that are too high or too low for any particular period. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, there were no material adjustments to our prior period estimates of accrued expenses for clinical trials.
