Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Statements
For the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2015 and 2014
in tabular columns expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Aurinia Pharmaceuticals Inc. or the Company is a clinical stage
pharmaceutical company with its head office located at #1203-4464 Markham Street, Victoria, British Columbia V8Z 7X8 where clinical, regulatory and business development functions of the Company are conducted. The Company has its registered office
located at #201, 17904-105 Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta T5S 2H5 where the finance function is performed.
Aurinia Pharmaceuticals Inc. is organized pursuant
to the Business Corporations Act (Alberta). The Company s common shares are currently listed and traded on the NASDAQ Global Market (NASDAQ) under the symbol AUPH and on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) under the symbol AUP. The
Company s primary business is the development of a therapeutic drug to treat autoimmune diseases, in particular lupus nephritis.
condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Aurinia Pharma Corp., Aurinia Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Delaware incorporated) and Aurinia Pharma Limited (UK incorporated).
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the audit committee of the Board of Directors on November 12,
As described in note 6,
the Offering completed by the Company on February 14, 2014, resulted in the issuance of 4,729,843 warrants, exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $3.22 per warrant. The holders of the warrants
may elect, in lieu of exercising the warrants for cash, a cashless exercise option to receive common shares equal to the fair value of the warrants based on the number of warrants to be exercised multiplied by a five day weighted average market
price less the exercise price, with the difference divided by the weighted average market price. If a warrant holder exercises this option, there will be variability in the number of shares issued per warrant.
A review of the application of IFRS to these previously issued warrants has resulted in a revision of prior period comparatives for restatement of our
previous accounting for the warrants.
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 fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss at each period end. The derivative liability will ultimately be converted to
the Company s equity (common shares) when the warrants are exercised, or will be extinguished upon the expiry of the outstanding warrants, and will not result in the outlay of any cash by the Company.
In the original accounting determination, the estimated fair value of the warrants was recorded in equity at $10,418,000, offset by an allocation of issuance
costs of $739,000. At initial recognition the Company should have recorded the estimated fair value of the warrants as a derivative warrant liability at $9,107,000, with allocated issuance costs of $646,000 recognized as other expense. In addition,
at March 31, 2014, based on the trading price of the Company s shares at that time, the Company should have adjusted the estimated fair value of the derivative warrant liability to $8,045,000, resulting in a gain on revaluation of
derivative warrant liability in the statement of comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2014 of $1,062,000. At June 30, 2014, based on the trading price of the Company s shares at that time, the Company
should have adjusted the estimated fair value of the derivative warrant liability to $15,062,000, resulting in a loss on revaluation of derivative warrant liability of $7,017,000 in the statement of comprehensive income (loss) for the three months
ended June 30, 2014. At September 30, 2014, based on the trading price of the Company s shares at that time, the Company should have adjusted the estimated fair value of the derivative warrant liability to $9,794,000, resulting in a
gain on revaluation of derivative warrant liability of $5,268,000 in the statement of comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended September 30, 2014.
There was no impact on cash from operating, financing or investing activities.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have
been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ), as applicable to interim financial reports including IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and should be read in conjunction with the annual restated
financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2014 which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ( IASB ).
The short-term investment, which is recorded initially at fair value and
subsequently at amortized cost, using the effective interest method, is a HSBC Bank US denominated discount note with amortized cost of $9,989,000 and initial cost of $9,984,000. The note is due February 10, 2016 and has an effective interest
The Company has recorded the fair value of contingent consideration payable to
ILJIN Life Science Co., Ltd. ( ILJIN ) resulting from the Arrangement Agreement completed on September 20, 2013 between the Company, Aurinia Pharma Corp. and ILJIN.
Contingent consideration includes potential payments of up to $10,000,000 to be paid in five equal tranches according to the achievement of pre-defined
clinical and marketing milestones.
The fair value of this portion of contingent consideration at September 30, 2015 was estimated to be $3,771,000
(December 31, 2014 - $3,473,000) and was determined by applying the income approach. The fair value estimates at September 30, 2015 were based on a discount rate of 10% and an assumed probability-adjusted payment range between 35% and 70%. This
is a level 3 recurring fair value measurement. There have been no significant changes in the assumptions since December 31, 2014.

Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Statements
For the three and nine month periods ended

On February 14, 2014, the Company completed a $52,000,000 private
placement (the Offering). Under the terms of the Offering, the Company issued 18,919,404 units (the Units) at a subscription price per Unit of $2.7485, each Unit consisting of one common share and one-quarter (0.25) of a common share purchase
warrant (a Warrant), exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $3.2204 per common share. The holders of the Warrants may elect, in lieu of exercising the Warrants for cash, a cashless exercise option to
receive common shares equal to the fair value of the Warrants based on the number of Warrants to be exercised multiplied by a five day weighted average market price less the exercise price with the difference divided by the weighted average market
price. If a Warrant holder exercises this option, there will be variability in the number of shares issued per Warrant.
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 fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations and
comprehensive loss at each period end. The derivative liability will ultimately be converted to the Company s equity (common shares) when the Warrants are exercised, or will be extinguished upon the expiry of the outstanding Warrants, and will
not result in the outlay of any cash by the Company.
In the first quarter ended March 31, 2015, a holder of these Warrants elected this option and
the Company issued 66,000 common shares upon the cashless exercise of 182,000 Warrants. These Warrants had a fair value of $636,000 at the date of exercise, determined using the Black-Scholes warrant pricing model. This amount was transferred from
derivative warrant liability to common shares.
