OVERVIEW

Oncolytics Biotech Inc. is a Development Stage Company

Since our inception in April of 1998, Oncolytics Biotech Inc. has been a development stage company and we have focused our research and development efforts on the development of REOLYSIN®, our potential cancer therapeutic. We have not been profitable since our inception and expect to continue to incur substantial losses as we continue research and development efforts. We do not expect to generate significant revenues until, if and when, our cancer product becomes commercially viable.

General Risk Factors

Prospects for biotechnology companies in the research and development stage should generally be regarded as speculative. It is not possible to predict, based upon studies in animals, or early studies in humans, whether a new therapeutic will ultimately prove to be safe and effective in humans, or whether necessary and sufficient data can be developed through the clinical trial process to support a successful product application and approval.

If a product is approved for sale, product manufacturing at a commercial scale and significant sales to end users at a commercially reasonable price may not be successful. There can be no assurance that we will generate adequate funds to continue development, or will ever achieve significant revenues or profitable operations. Many factors (e.g. competition, patent protection, appropriate regulatory approvals) can influence the revenue and product profitability potential.

In developing a pharmaceutical product, we rely upon our employees, contractors, consultants and collaborators and other third party relationships, including our ability to obtain appropriate product liability insurance. There can be no assurance that these reliances and relationships will continue as required.

In addition to developmental and operational considerations, market prices for securities of biotechnology companies generally are volatile, and may or may not move in a manner consistent with the progress being made by Oncolytics.

REOLYSIN® Development Update for the Second Quarter of 2007

We continue to develop our lead product REOLYSIN® as a potential cancer therapy. Our goal each year is to advance REOLYSIN® through the various steps and stages of development required for potential pharmaceutical products. In order to achieve this goal, we actively manage the development of our clinical trial program, our pre-clinical and collaborative programs, our manufacturing process and supply, and our intellectual property.

Clinical Trial Program

In the second quarter of 2007, we announced positive clinical data from our U.S. Phase I REOLYSIN® systemic administration clinical trial. As well, we expanded our clinical trial program to include eight clinical trials of which seven are being conducted by us and one is being sponsored by the U.S. National Cancer Institute ("NCI").

Clinical Trial Results

In the second quarter of 2007, we announced positive results from our U.S. Phase I clinical trial examining the systemic administration of REOLYSIN® in patients with advanced cancers. The results indicated that REOLYSIN® can be delivered systemically to patients with advanced and metastatic cancers and cause anti-tumour activity.

A total of 18 patients were treated in the escalating dosage trial to a maximum daily dose of 3x10(10) TCID(50) in a one-hour infusion. Of the 18 patients treated, eight demonstrated stable disease or better, as measured by RECIST ("Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours") including a patient with progressive breast cancer who experienced a 34% shrinkage in tumour volume.

The trial was originally designed to demonstrate the safety of a single, one-hour infusion of REOLYSIN®. During the treatment of the 4th cohort of patients, we applied for and were granted approval to allow subsequent patients to receive repeat monthly treatments of REOLYSIN®. Of the patients eligible for retreatment, three patients received a range of two to seven one-hour infusions of REOLYSIN®. Toxicities possibly related to REOLYSIN® treatment in this trial were generally mild (grade 1 or 2) and included chills, fever and fatigue.

The primary objective of this trial was to determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose ("MTD"), Dose-Limiting Toxicity ("DLT"), and safety profile of REOLYSIN® when administered systemically to patients. A secondary objective was to examine any evidence of anti-tumour activity. Eligible patients included those who had been diagnosed with advanced or metastatic solid tumours that are refractory ("have not responded") to standard therapy or for which no curative standard therapy exists.

Clinical Trials - Actively Enrolling

During the second quarter of 2007, we continued to enroll patients in our Phase II and Phase Ib combination REOLYSIN®/radiation clinical trials in the U.K. and in our Phase I/II recurrent malignant glioma clinical trial in the U.S. As well, we commenced enrollment in the following studies:

U.S. Phase II Sarcoma Clinical Trial

During the second quarter of 2007, we received approval to commence and initiated patient enrollment in our U.S. Phase II trial to evaluate the intravenous administration of REOLYSIN® in patients with various sarcomas that have metastasized to the lung. Patients are being enrolled at the Montefiore Medical Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, New York, the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center in Ann Arbor, and the Cancer Therapy and Research Center, Institute for Drug Development in San Antonio, Texas.

This trial is a Phase II, open-label, single agent study whose primary objective is to measure tumour responses and duration of response, and to describe any evidence of antitumour activity of intravenous, multiple dose REOLYSIN® in patients with bone and soft tissue sarcomas metastatic to the lung. REOLYSIN® will be given intravenously to patients at a dose of 3x10(10) TCID(50) for five consecutive days. Patients may receive additional five-day cycles of therapy every four weeks for a maximum of eight cycles.

Up to 52 patients will be enrolled in the study. Eligible patients must have a bone or soft tissue sarcoma metastatic to the lung deemed by their physician to be unresponsive to or untreatable by standard therapies.

U.K. Combination REOLYSIN® Paclitaxel and Carboplatin Clinical Trial

In the second quarter of 2007, we commenced patient enrolment in our U.K. clinical trial to evaluate the anti-tumour effects of systemic administration of REOLYSIN® in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin in patients with advanced cancers including head and neck, melanoma, lung and ovarian.

This trial has two components. The first is an open-label, dose-escalating, non-randomized study of REOLYSIN® given intravenously with paclitaxel and carboplatin every three weeks. Standard dosages of paclitaxel and carboplatin will be delivered with escalating dosages of REOLYSIN® intravenously. A maximum of three cohorts will be enrolled in the REOLYSIN® dose escalation portion. The second component of the trial will immediately follow and will include the enrolment of a further 12 patients at the maximum dosage of REOLYSIN® in combination with a standard dosage of paclitaxel and carboplatin.

Eligible patients include those who have been diagnosed with advanced or metastatic solid tumours such as head and neck, melanoma, lung and ovarian cancers that are refractory to standard therapy or for which no curative standard therapy exists. The primary objective of the trial is to determine the MTD, DLT, recommended dose and dosing schedule and safety profile of REOLYSIN® when administered in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin. Secondary objectives include the evaluation of immune response to the drug combination, the body's response to the drug combination compared to chemotherapy alone and any evidence of anti-tumour activity.

U.K. Combination REOLYSIN® Gemcitabine Clinical Trial

In the second quarter of 2007, we commenced patient enrolment in our U.K. clinical trial to evaluate the anti-tumour effects of systemic administration of REOLYSIN® in combination with gemcitabine (Gemzar®) in patients with advanced cancers including pancreatic, lung and ovarian. The combination of reovirus and gemcitabine has been shown in preclinical studies to be more effective than gemcitabine or reovirus alone at killing certain cancer cell lines.

This trial has two components. The first is an open-label, dose-escalating, non-randomized study of REOLYSIN® given intravenously with gemcitabine every three weeks. A standard dosage of gemcitabine will be delivered with escalating dosages of REOLYSIN® intravenously. A maximum of three cohorts will be enrolled in the REOLYSIN® dose escalation portion. The second component of the trial will immediately follow and will include the enrolment of a further 12 patients at the maximum dosage of REOLYSIN® in combination with a standard dosage of gemcitabine.

Eligible patients include those who have been diagnosed with advanced or metastatic solid tumours such as pancreatic, lung and ovarian cancers that are refractory to standard therapy or for which no curative standard therapy exists. The primary objective of the trial is to determine the MTD, DLT, recommended dose and dosing schedule and safety profile of REOLYSIN® when administered in combination with gemcitabine. Secondary objectives include the evaluation of immune response to the drug combination, the body's response to the drug combination compared to chemotherapy alone and any evidence of anti-tumour activity.

U.S. National Cancer Institute Phase II Melanoma Clinical Trial

In the second quarter of 2007, the NCI filed a protocol with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for a Phase II clinical trial for patients with metastatic melanoma using systemic administration of REOLYSIN®. The NCI is sponsoring the trial under our Clinical Trials Agreement that requires us to provide clinical supplies of REOLYSIN®. The trial is expected to enroll up to 47 patients with metastatic melanoma.

Pre-Clinical Trial and Collaborative Program

During the second quarter of 2007, we announced that a poster by Dr. Maureen E. Lane et al. of Cornell University, New York, entitled "In Vivo Synergy between Oncolytic Reovirus and Gemcitabine in Ras-Mutated Human HCT116 Xenografts" was presented at the American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting in Los Angeles, CA.

The researchers found that treatment of human colon cancer cell lines with the combination of REOLYSIN® and gemcitabine resulted in both in vitro and in vivo synergy. There was no toxicity associated with the combined treatment. Tumours treated with the combination were significantly smaller (by area and weight) than tumours in control groups or tumours treated with either agent alone. The researchers concluded that the synergistic combination of REOLYSIN® and gemcitabine is a promising therapeutic regimen for study in clinical trials.

Manufacturing and Process Development

We continued to have REOLYSIN® manufactured in order to supply our current and future clinical trial program. In the second quarter of 2007, we successfully completed initial scale up of our manufacturing process for REOLYSIN®. The process improvements and scale up to 40-litre batch size has resulted in increased total yields which are a result of advancements in the media formulation used in the primary production of REOLYSIN® and in the downstream processing steps required to generate finished product.

Intellectual Property

In the second quarter of 2007, two U.S. and one Canadian patents were issued. At the end of the second quarter of 2007, we had been issued a total of 21 U.S., six Canadian and three European patents as well as issuances in other jurisdictions. We also have other patent applications filed in the U.S., Europe and Canada and other jurisdictions.

Financial Impact

We estimated at the beginning of 2007 that our monthly cash usage would be approximately $1,400,000 for 2007. Our cash usage for the first half of 2007 was $7,618,488 from operating activities and $525,363 for the purchases of intellectual property and capital assets which is in line with our estimate. Our net loss for the first six month of 2007 was $7,792,813.

Cash Resources

We exited the second quarter of 2007 with cash resources totaling $31,533,291 (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources").

Expected REOLYSIN® Development for the Remainder of 2007

We believe that we will commence enrollment in our third co-therapy clinical trial with docetaxel (see "Recent 2007 Progress") and continue to enroll patients in all seven of our clinical trials in 2007. We also believe that the NCI sponsored melanoma clinical trial will receive approval to commence in 2007. We believe we will complete enrollment in our U.K. Phase Ia/Ib and Phase II combination REOLYSIN®/radiation clinical trials by the end of 2007 and complete enrollment in our chemotherapy co-therapy studies in 2008. We expect to produce REOLYSIN® in 2007 to supply our clinical trial program.

Based on our expected activity in 2007, we continue to estimate our average monthly cash usage to be $1,400,000 per month (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources").

Recent 2007 Progress

On July 23, 2007, we commenced patient enrolment in our U.K. clinical trial to evaluate the anti-tumour effects of systemic administration of REOLYSIN® in combination with docetaxel (Taxotere®) in patients with advanced cancers including bladder, prostate, lung and upper gastro-intestinal.

The trial has two components. The first is an open-label, dose-escalating, non-randomized study of REOLYSIN® given intravenously with docetaxel every three weeks. A standard dosage of docetaxel will be delivered with escalating dosages of REOLYSIN® intravenously. A maximum of three cohorts will be enrolled in the REOLYSIN® dose escalation portion. The second component of the trial will immediately follow and will include the enrolment of a further 12 patients at the maximum dosage of REOLYSIN® in combination with a standard dosage of docetaxel.

Eligible patients include those who have been diagnosed with advanced or metastatic solid tumours such as bladder, prostate, lung or upper gastro-intestinal cancers that are refractory to standard therapy or for which no curative standard therapy exists. The primary objective of the trial is to determine the MTD, DLT, recommended dose and dosing schedule and safety profile of REOLYSIN® when administered in combination with docetaxel. Secondary objectives include the evaluation of immune response to the drug combination, the body's response to the drug combination compared to chemotherapy alone and any evidence of anti-tumour activity.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------For the six month period ending June 30, 2007, our production and vial filling activity increased compared to 2006. During the first half of 2007, we completed production runs that commenced in 2006 and initiated additional production runs to manufacture REOLYSIN® at the beginning of 2007. As well, we incurred costs associated with vial filling and packaging of these production runs.

For the six month period ending June 30, 2006, we completed the production runs that were ongoing at the end of 2005 for our Phase I trials. At the same time, our process development activity helped improve the virus yields from our manufacturing process. These improvements were then transferred to our cGMP manufacturer in the second quarter of 2006.

Our process development expenses for the six month period ending June 30, 2007 were $143,494 compared to $450,744 for the six month period ending June 30, 2006. During the six month period ending June 30, 2007, our main process development focus was on our scale up to 40-litre studies which were completed in the second quarter of 2007. During the six month period ending June 30, 2006, our process development activity included scale up studies and the validation of the fill process used in our manufacturing process.

We now expect that our overall manufacturing and related process development expenses for 2007 will be in line with 2006. We expect to complete the vial filling of our planned 2007 production runs in the third quarter of 2007. We also expect that our process development activity will begin to examine the commercial formulation of REOLYSIN®.

We are also examining ways to reduce our economic dependence resulting from having only a single cGMP manufacturer. This might include building up a level of inventory, increasing the scale of each production run, engaging another cGMP manufacturer or manufacturing REOLYSIN® ourselves. Depending on how we mitigate our risk of economic dependence our expectation of our 2007 M&P expenses may change.Clinical Trial Program

-------------------------------------------------------------------------During the six month period ending June 30, 2007, our R&D consulting fees were $141,891 compared to $64,326 for the six month period ending 2006. In the first half of 2007, we incurred consulting activity associated with our ongoing clinical trials and assistance with our clinical trial applications. In the first half of 2006, our consulting activity related to our ongoing clinical trials.

Our R&D salaries and benefits costs were $767,553 for the first half of 2007 compared to $607,892 for the first half of 2006. The increase is a result of increases in salary and staff levels along with the addition of our Vice President of Intellectual Property in 2007.

We now expect that our other research and development expenses for the remainder of 2007 will increase compared to 2006. We expect that salaries and benefits will increase to reflect increased compensation levels and the salary and benefit costs for our Vice President of Intellectual Property. Our R&D consulting fees are expected to remain consistent with 2006. However, we may choose to engage additional consultants to assist us in the development of protocols and regulatory filings for our additional combination therapy and phase II clinical trial studies, possibly causing our R&D consulting expenses to increase.Operating Expenses

In the first half of 2007, our financial advisory expenses decreased compared to the first half of 2006. This decrease was offset by an increase in expenses associated with our investor relations activity in the U.S. and Europe and professional fees during the six month period ending June 30, 2007 compared to 2006.

In the first half of 2007, our office expenses were $582,646 compared to $523,393 in the first half of 2006. Our office expense activity has remained consistent in 2007 to date compared to 2006 with increases mainly due to increased compensation levels and a general increase in office costs.Stock Based Compensation

Commitments

As at June 30, 2007, we are committed to payments totaling $1,021,000 during the remainder of 2007 for activities related to clinical trial activity and collaborations. All of these committed payments are considered to be part of our normal course of business.SUMMARY OF QUARTERLY RESULTS

(1) Subsequent to the acquisition of Oncolytics Biotech Inc. by SYNSORB

in April 1999, we applied push down accounting. See note 2 to the

audited financial statements for 2006.

(2) Included in total cash are cash and cash equivalents plus short-term

investments.

(3) Included in net loss and loss per common share between June 2007 and

July 2005 are quarterly stock based compensation expenses of $82,573,

$21,396, $109,670, $34,671, $222,376, $36,833, $38,152, and $4,173,

respectively.

(4) We issued 4,600,000 common shares for net cash proceeds of

$12,063,394 during 2007 (2006 - 284,000 common shares for cash

proceeds of $241,400; 2005 - 4,321,252 common shares for cash

proceeds of $18,789,596).

(5) The long-term debt recorded represents repayable loans from the

Alberta Heritage Foundation. On January 1, 2007, in conjunction with

the adoption of the CICA Handbook section 3855 "Financial

Instruments", this loan was recorded at fair value (see note 1 of the

June 30, 2007 interim financial statements).

(6) We have not declared or paid any dividends since incorporation.LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

As at June 30, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents (including short-term investments) and working capital positions of $31,533,291 and $30,002,209, respectively compared to $27,613,748 and $25,719,870, respectively for December 31, 2006. The increase in 2007 reflects the cash inflow from financing activities of $12,063,394 offset by cash usage from operating activities and additions to our intellectual property of $7,618,488 and $487,058, respectively.

We desire to maintain adequate cash and short-term investment reserves to support our planned activities which include our clinical trial program, product manufacturing, administrative costs, and our intellectual property expansion and protection. For the remainder of 2007, we are expecting to commence patient enrollment in our third co-therapy trial and to continue to enroll patients in our existing trials throughout 2007. We also expect to continue to expand our clinical trial program. As well, we expect to continue with our collaborative studies pursuing support for our future clinical trial program. We will therefore need to ensure that we have enough REOLYSIN® to supply our clinical trial and collaborative programs. We continue to expect our cash usage in 2007 to be $1,400,000 per month and we believe our existing capital resources are adequate to fund our current plans for research and development activities well into 2009. Factors that will affect our anticipated monthly burn rate include, but are not limited to, the number of manufacturing runs required to supply our clinical trial program and the cost of each run, additional activities reducing our economic dependence on a single supplier, the number of clinical trials ultimately approved, the timing of patient enrollment in the approved clinical trials, the actual costs incurred to support each clinical trial, the number of treatments each patient will receive, the timing of the NCI's R&D activity, and the level of pre-clinical activity undertaken.

In the event that we choose to seek additional capital, we will look to fund additional capital requirements primarily through the issue of additional equity. We recognize the challenges and uncertainty inherent in the capital markets and the potential difficulties we might face in raising additional capital. Market prices and market demand for securities in biotechnology companies are volatile and there are no assurances that we will have the ability to raise funds when required.

Capital Expenditures

We spent $487,058 on intellectual property in the first half of 2007 compared to $365,036 in the first half of 2006. The change in intellectual property expenditures reflects the timing of filing costs associated with our expanded patent base. As well, we have benefited from a stronger Canadian dollar as our patent costs are typically incurred in U.S. currency. In the second quarter of 2007, two U.S. patents and one Canadian patent were issued bringing our total patents issued to 21 in the U.S., six in Canada and three in Europe.

Investing Activities

Under our Investment Policy, we are permitted to invest in short-term instruments with a rating no less than R-1 (DBRS) with terms less than two years. We have $24,356,007 invested under this policy and we are currently earning interest at an effective rate of 4.14% (2006 - 3.86%).

OTHER MD&A REQUIREMENTS

We have 41,120,748 common shares outstanding at July 26, 2007. If all of our warrants (4,972,000) and options (3,497,950) were exercised we would have 49,590,698 common shares outstanding.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2007 (unaudited)

1.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in

accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. The

notes presented in these unaudited interim financial statements include

only significant events and transactions occurring since the Company's

last fiscal year end and are not fully inclusive of all matters required

to be disclosed in the Company's annual audited financial statements.

Accordingly, these unaudited interim financial statements should be read

in conjunction with the Company's most recent annual financial

statements. The information as at and for the year ended December 31,

2006 has been derived from the Company's audited financial statements.

The accounting policies used in the preparation of these unaudited

interim financial statements conform with those used in the Company's

most recent annual financial statements except the following:

Adoption of New Accounting Policy

Financial Instruments

On January 1, 2007, the Company prospectively adopted, without

restatement, CICA Handbook section 3855 "Financial Instruments -

Recognition and Measurement" and section 1530 "Other Comprehensive

Income". Pursuant to the transitional provisions of Section 3855, the

Company classified its short-term investments as held-to-maturity fixed

income securities and recorded its Alberta Heritage Foundation interest

free loan at fair value. As a result, there were no adjustments made to

short-term investments or other comprehensive income and there was a

decrease in the Alberta Heritage Foundation loan of $150,000 with a

corresponding decrease of $150,000 in the Company's deficit.

Financial Assets

Financial assets are comprised of cash and cash equivalents, accounts

receivable (mainly goods and service tax receivable), and short-term

investments.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and interest bearing

deposits with the Company's bank.

Short-term investments

The Company determines the appropriate classification of its short-term

investments at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as

of each balance sheet date. Short-term investments can be classified as

held-for-trading, available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. Currently, the

Company has classified all of its short-term investments as held-to-

maturity as it has 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.

Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities are comprised of trade accounts payable and accrued

liabilities.

(a) Pursuant to a public offering, 4,600,000 units were issued at an

issue price of $3.00 per unit for gross proceeds of $13,800,000. Each

unit included one common share (ascribed value of $2.47) and one-half

of one common share purchase warrant (ascribed value of $0.53) for a

total of 2,300,000 warrants. The ascribed value was determined using

the relative fair value method. Each whole common share purchase

warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share in the

capital of the Company upon payment of $3.50 per share until

February 22, 2010. Share issue costs for this offering were

$1,736,606.

SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

Short-term investments, mainly consisting 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

the Company's excess cash resources in investment vehicles that provide a

better rate of return compared to the Company's interest bearing bank

account with limited risk to the principal invested. The Company also

intends to match the maturities of these short-term investments with the

cash requirements of the Company's activities.
