Held-to-maturity investments which are recorded initially at fair value and
subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method less any provisions for impairment. Available for sale investments are recorded initially at fair value including direct and incremental transaction costs. They are subsequently
recorded at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in fair value are included as a separate component of equity until sale, when the cumulative gain or loss is transferred to the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive
loss. Interest is determined using the effective interest method and impairment losses, if any, on monetary items are recorded in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

The average duration of the interest-bearing securities is 1.2 years and the average yield to maturity is 1.26%. Short term
investments held at fair value are classified as Level 2 fair values in the fair value hierarchy.
The outstanding fair value of contingent consideration payable to ILJIN SNT
Co., Ltd. (ILJIN), an affiliated shareholder and related party, is the result of an Arrangement Agreement (the Agreement) completed on September 20, 2013 between the Company, Aurinia Pharma Corp. and ILJIN. Pursuant to the Agreement, payments
of up to $10,000,000 may be paid dependent on the achievement of pre-defined clinical and marketing milestones.
In the second quarter ended June 30, 2017 the Company paid ILJIN $2,150,000 upon the achievement of two specific milestones.
At September 30, 2017, if all of the remaining milestones are met, the timing of these payments is estimated to occur as follows:
| $ | ||||
| 2018 | 100 | |||
| 2020 | 2,625 | |||
| 2021 | 5,125 | |||
| 7,850 |
The fair value estimates at September 30, 2017 were based on a discount rate of 10% and an assumed probability adjusted
payment range between 50% and 95%. There were no changes in these assumptions since December 31, 2016. The fair value of this contingent consideration as at September 30, 2017 was estimated to be $3,726,000 compared to $5,440,000 at
December 31, 2016. The change in the fair value was primarily due the payment of the $2,150,000 in the second quarter of 2017.
The Company recorded
in a revaluation of contingent consideration expense of $88,000 and $436,000 respectively for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 compared to $1,146,000 and $1,272,000 respectively for the same periods in 2016. The change
in the revaluation amounts in 2017 result primarily from the change in the passage of time and the achievement of two milestones in the second quarter ended June 30, 2017 whereas the comparative figures from 2016 reflect probability adjustments
made in the third quarter ended September 30, 2016. These adjustments were determined by estimating the probability and timing of achieving the milestones and applying the income approach.
This is a Level 3 recurring fair value measurement. If the probability for success were to increase by a factor of 10% for each milestone, this would
increase the net present value (NPV) of the obligation by approximately $569,000 as at September 30, 2017. If the probability for success were to decrease by a factor of 10% for each milestone, this would decrease the NPV of the obligation by
approximately $569,000 as at September 30, 2017. If the discount rate were to increase to 12%, this would decrease the NPV of the obligation by approximately $217,000. If the discount rate were to decrease to 8%, this would increase the NPV of
the obligation by approximately $235,000.

In accordance with IFRS, a contract to issue a variable number of shares
fails to meet the definition of equity and must instead be classified as a derivative liability and measured at estimated fair value with changes in estimated fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss
at each period-end. The derivative liabilities will ultimately be converted into the Company s equity (common shares) when the warrants are exercised, or will be extinguished on the expiry of the
outstanding warrants, and will not result in the outlay of any cash by the Company. Immediately prior to exercise, the warrants are remeasured at their estimated fair value. Upon exercise, the intrinsic value is transferred to share capital (the
intrinsic value is the share price at the date the warrant is exercised less the exercise price of the warrant). Any remaining fair value is recorded through the statement of operations and comprehensive loss as part of the change in estimated fair
value of derivative warrant liabilities.
