(in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts)
1 | The reporting entity and its future operations |
Theratechnologies Inc. is a specialty pharmaceutical company addressing unmet medical needs in metabolic disorders to promote healthy ageing and improved quality of life.
The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Theratechnologies Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Company” and individually as the “subsidiaries of the Company”).
Theratechnologies Inc. is governed by the Business Corporations Act (Quebec) and is domiciled in Quebec, Canada. The Company is located at 2310 Alfred-Nobel Boulevard, Montréal, Quebec H4S 2B4.
The Company’s ability to generate revenue is currently solely based on the commercialization ofEGRIFTATM in the United States.
On December 13, 2013, the Company announced that it had reached an agreement with EMD Serono, Inc. (EMD Serono Termination Agreement) to regain all rights under the EMD Serono Agreement, including commercialization rights forEGRIFTATM in the United States. The closing of the transaction occurred on May 1, 2014. Operations of the Company have significantly changed upon the completion of the EMD Serono transaction which may impact the risk profile of its cash flows, and the contractual obligation with respect to the early termination fee (note 10 long-term obligation) will increase the Company’s liquidity risk and may require additional funding.
During the last fiscal year, the Company experienced manufacturing difficulties at its third-party manufacturer, which led to shortages ofEGRIFTATM and negatively impacted sales and operating results. Thereafter, the Company resumed manufacturing. On February 14, 2014, the manufacturing difficulties resurfaced. The Company ceased manufacturing again and, at that time, there was no inventory of finished goods available. A plan was developed based on temporarily reverting to the initial presentation ofEGRIFTATM (1 mg vial), which was supplied without any commercial delays during the first two years of marketing the product. In early September 2014, shipments ofEGRIFTATMresumed using the 1 mg presentation. The Company currently has funding to meet its financial obligations while it re-establishes its revenue stream.
If, however, it encounters significant setbacks in relation to projected sales levels and/or manufacturing and supply issues, the Company will require additional funds in the next 12 months in order to meet its obligations and sustain operations. As of the date of these interim consolidated financial statements, there is no new funding agreement in place. These circumstances could result in a material uncertainty that casts substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

(in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts)
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with IFRS. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will continue its operations for the foreseeable future and be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these interim consolidated financial statements, adjustments to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, reported expenses and consolidated statement of financial position classifications would be necessary. Such adjustments could be material.
Accounting framework
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements (interim financial statements), including comparative information, have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting.
Certain information, in particular the accompanying notes normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, has been omitted or condensed. These interim consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required under IFRS and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2013 and the notes thereto. These interim consolidated financial statements have not been reviewed by the Company’s auditors.
These interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Company’s Audit Committee on October 7, 2014.
Summary of accounting policies
Except as described below, the accounting policies applied in these interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended November 30, 2013.
Intangible assets
Commercialization rights
Commercialization rights acquired by the Company have finite useful lives and are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. They are amortized at fixed rates based on their estimated useful life of 111 months on the straight-line basis.
The amortization method and useful life of intangible assets are reviewed every year and adjusted as required.

Financial liabilities
The Company has classified its long-term obligation as other financial liabilities. Financial liabilities are initially recognized on the date on which they originate at fair value less any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
Basis of measurement
The Company’s interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern and historical cost basis, except for available-for-sale financial assets, derivative financial assets, liabilities related to the deferred stock unit plan and derivative financial liabilities, which are measured at fair value.
Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies and assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the interim consolidated financial statements are disclosed in note 2 to the annual consolidated financial statements as at November 30, 2013 except:
There are assumptions and estimation uncertainties with respect to the determination of the useful life and the determination of the fair value of the intangible assets (note 9) and the determination of fair value of the long-term obligation (note 10).
Functional and presentation currency
These interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in Canadian dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand.

3 | Recent changes in accounting standards |
New standards issued but not yet adopted
IFRS 9, Financial instruments
On July 24, 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9, bringing together the classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting phases of the IASB’s project to replace IAS 39. The final version of IFRS 9 supersedes all previous versions of IFRS 9 and is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018; however an entity may elect to apply earlier versions of IFRS 9 if the entity’s relevant date of initial application is before February 1, 2015.
IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15 which establishes principles for reporting the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. It provides a single model in order to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers.
IFRS 15 supersedes the following standards: IAS 11, Construction Contracts, IAS 18, Revenue, IFRIC 13, Customer Loyalty Programmes, IFRIC 15, Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, IFRIC 18, Transfers of Assets from Customers, andSIC-31, Revenue – Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services.
The core principle of IFRS 15 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services.
IFRS 15 also includes a cohesive set of disclosure requirements that would result in an entity providing comprehensive information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts with customers.
This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017 with earlier adoption permitted, the Company has not yet assessed the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

Standards adopted
IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements
In May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements, which replaces SIC-12, Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities, and parts of IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. IFRS 10 builds on existing principles by identifying the concept of control as the determining factor in whether an entity should be included within the consolidated statements of an entity. The standard provides additional guidance to assist in the determination of control where this is difficult to assess. IFRS 10 became effective December 1, 2013. The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement
In May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement. IFRS 13 improves consistency and reduces complexity by providing a precise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across IFRS. IFRS 13 became effective December 1, 2013. The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements.
Amendments to IAS 19, Employee Benefits
In June 2011, the IASB published an amended version of IAS 19, Employee Benefits. The amendments impact termination benefits, which would now be recognized at the earlier of when the entity recognizes costs for a restructuring within the scope of IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, and when the entity can no longer withdraw the offer of the termination benefits. The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements.
4 | Revenue and deferred revenue |
Actelion Pharmaceuticals Canada Inc.
In April 2014, the Company announced that the distribution and licence agreement with Actelion Pharmaceutical Canada Inc. had been terminated by mutual agreement. Consequently, the Company regained all rights under the supply, distribution and licensing agreement entered into in February 2012.
EMD Serono, Inc.
On December 13, 2013, the Company entered into a termination and transfer agreement with EMD Serono, Inc. (EMD Serono Termination Agreement) in order to regain all of the commercialization rights to EGRIFTATM in the United States. The transaction closed on May 1, 2014. The commercialization rights acquired were accounted for as intangible assets.

7 | Federal investment tax credits |
The Company settled a dispute with the Canada Revenue Agency in respect of an investment tax credit refund claim related to its 1994 and 1995 taxation years, resulting in a refund of $4,110 ($1,650 of investment tax credit refund and $2,520 in interest less associated fees). This refund was received on July 3, 2014.
The $1,650 of investment tax credit reduces the unused and unrecorded federal tax credits listed in note 11 to the November 30, 2013 consolidated financial statements.

During the nine-month period ended August 31, 2014, the Company recorded an inventory provision of $122 on raw materials (2013 – nil) and of $865 on work in progress (2013 – $376), to write down their value to their estimated net realizable value. The net inventory provision of $987 was recorded in cost of sales as unallocated production costs (2013 – $376).
The writedowns in 2014 and 2013 were due to losses incurred during conversion of raw materials to finished goods and losses associated with changing over from the 2 mg vial to the 1 mg vial ofEGRIFTATM.

The obligation is initially recognized at fair value, and is considered Level 3 (note 16) in the fair value hierarchy for financial instruments. The valuation model considered the present value of expected payments, discounted using a risk-adjusted discount rate. The significant unobservable input used is the risk-adjusted discount rate of 13.5%. Effective interest rate of 13.5% is calculated annually and accounted for in accretion of the obligation value.
In order to secure the payment of the Early Termination Fee, the Company agreed to grant EMD Serono a security interest on its present and future, corporeal and incorporeal, movable property related toEGRIFTATM until such time as the amount of US$20,000 has been reimbursed in full to EMD Serono. Thereafter, the Company and EMD Serono agreed to reduce the security interest to all present and future, corporeal and incorporeal, movable property related toEGRIFTATM in the United States only to secure the payment of the Royalties.
In addition, the EMD Serono Termination Agreement provides that in the event there occurs a change of control of the Company before November 1, 2015, EMD Serono has the option to accelerate the full payment of the Early Termination Fee and to seek the payment of an amount intended to equal the net present value of the maximum future Royalties. If such change of control occurs after November 1, 2015, EMD Serono has the option to accelerate the payment of all unpaid Early Termination Fee.

The Company has established a stock option plan under which it may grant its directors, officers, employees, researchers and consultants non-transferable options for the purchase of common shares. The exercise date of an option may not be later than 10 years after the grant date. A maximum number of 5,000,000 options can be granted under the plan. Generally, the options vest at the date of the grant or over a period of up to five years. As at August 31, 2014, 1,477,472 options were available to be granted by the Company (as at August 31, 2013 – 1,441,636).
All options are to be settled by the physical delivery of the shares.

| | | | | | | | |
During the nine-month period ended August 31, 2014, $61 (2013 – $68) was recorded as share-based compensation expense for the stock option plan. The fair value of options granted was estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes model and the following weighted average assumptions:
| | | | | | | | |
| | For the nine-month periods ended August 31, | |
| | 2014 | | | 2013 | |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 1.97 | % | | | 1.88 | % |
Expected volatility | | | 82.22 | % | | | 81.00 | % |
Average option life | | | 7.5 years | | | | 8 years | |
Expected dividends | | | Nil | | | | Nil | |
Grant-date share price | | $ | 0.39 | | | $ | 0.37 | |
Option exercise price | | $ | 0.39 | | | $ | 0.37 | |
The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield on a Canadian government zero-coupon issue, with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the option. The volatility is based solely on historical volatility equal to the expected life of the option. The life of the options is estimated taking into consideration the vesting period at the grant date, the life of the option and the average length of time similar grants have remained outstanding in the past. The dividend yield was excluded from the calculation since it is the present policy of the Company to retain all earnings to finance operations and future growth.

The following table summarizes the weighted average fair value of stock options granted during thenine-month period ended August 31, 2014. No options were granted during the three-month period ended August 31, 2014:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
The Black-Scholes model used by the Company to calculate option values was developed to estimate the fair value of freely tradable, fully transferable options without vesting restrictions, which significantly differs from the Company’s stock option awards. This model also requires four highly subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and average option life, which greatly affect the calculated values.
For the three- and nine-month periods ended August 31, 2014, basic loss per share was calculated using a weighted average number of common shares outstanding of 61,010,603 (2013 – 61,010,603), calculated as follows:

As at August 31, 2014, 1,862,669 options that may potentially dilute earnings per share in the future were not considered in the computation, since the exercise price of these options was higher than the average market price.
The average market value of the Company’s shares for purposes of calculating the dilutive effect of share options was based on quoted market prices for the period during which the options were outstanding.
A motion to authorize the institution of a class action was originally filed in July 2010 in the Superior Court of Québec, District of Montreal, entitled 121851 Canada Inc. v. Theratechnologies Inc. et al., Number500-06-000515-102. The complaint alleged that the Company, a director and a former executive officer violated the secondary market liability provisions of the Securities Act (Québec) by failing to disclose a material change relating to the administration ofEGRIFTATM. The plaintiff sought damages on behalf of a class of persons who were shareholders at May 21, 2010 and who sold their common shares on May 25 or 26, 2010. On February 24, 2012, the Superior Court of Québec authorized 121851 Canada Inc. to institute a class action against the Company, a director and a former executive officer. On March 20, 2012, the Company filed a motion seeking permission to appeal this judgement with the Court of Appeal of Québec, District of Montreal, Number500-09-022519-128, and the hearing took place on January 24, 2013. The Company’s motion was dismissed by the Court on July 17, 2013. An application for leave to appeal the decision issued by the Court of Appeal was filed in November 2013 with the Supreme Court of Canada. Such application was approved by the Supreme Court of Canada on February 20, 2014 and the hearing has been tentatively scheduled for December 1, 2014.
In addition, 121851 Canada Inc. filed another motion in the Superior Court of Québec, district of Montreal, in May 2013, to institute a class action against the Company, a director and a former executive officer. The second motion is based on the same facts and seeks the same conclusion as the first motion except that damages are sought under the Civil Code of Québec instead of the Securities Act (Québec). The parties have agreed to stay this motion until a final decision is issued under the first motion.
The Company intends to contest these class actions and considers them to be without merit. The Company has subscribed to insurance covering its potential liability and the potential liability of its directors and officers in the performance of all their duties for the Company.

Overview
This note provides disclosures relating to the nature and extent of the Company’s exposure to risks arising from financial instruments, including credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk and interest rate risk, and how the Company manages those risks.
Credit risk is the risk of a loss if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company regularly monitors credit risk exposure and takes steps to mitigate the likelihood of this exposure resulting in losses.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company manages this risk through the management of its capital structure. It also manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring actual and projected cash flows. The Board of Directors and/or the Audit Committee reviews and approves the Company’s operating and capital budgets, as well as any material transactions out of the ordinary course of business.
The Company has adopted an investment policy in respect of the safety and preservation of its capital designed to ensure the Company’s liquidity needs are met. The instruments are selected with regard to the expected timing of expenditures and prevailing interest rates.

The Company is exposed to financial risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of those rates. Currency risk is limited to the portion of the Company’s business transactions denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar, primarily long-term obligation, sale of goods and expenses incurred in US dollars.
From time to time, the Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts. No forward foreign exchange contract was outstanding on August 31, 2014 or November 30, 2013.
Exchange rate fluctuations for foreign currency transactions can cause cash flows as well as amounts recorded in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss to vary from period to period and not necessarily correspond to those forecasted in operating budgets and projections. Additional earnings variability arises from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar at the rates of exchange at each consolidated statement of financial position date, the impact of which is reported as foreign exchange gain or loss in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. The Company does not believe a sudden change in foreign exchange rates would impair or enhance its ability to pay its US dollar denominated obligations.

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.
Short-term bonds held by the Company are invested at fixed interest rates and/or mature in the short term. Long-term bonds are also instruments that bear interest at fixed rates. The risk that the Company will realize a loss as a result of a decline in the fair value of its bonds is limited because these investments, although they are classified as available for sale, are generally held until close to maturity. The unrealized gains or losses on bonds are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.
Cash bears interest at a variable rate. Trade and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and long-term obligation bear no interest.
16 | Determination of fair values |
Certain of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value
In establishing fair value, the Company uses a fair value hierarchy based on levels as defined below:
| Level 1: | Defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets. |
| Level 2: | Defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable. |
| Level 3: | Defined as inputs that are based on little or no observable market data, therefore requiring entities to develop their own assumptions. |
Other financial assets and financial liabilities
The Company has determined that the carrying values of its short-term financial assets and financial liabilities, including cash, trade and other receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period to maturity of the instruments.
Bonds and derivative financial assets and liabilities are stated at estimated fair value, determined by inputs that are primarily based on broker quotes at the reporting date (Level 2).
Share-based payment transactions
The fair value of the employee stock options is measured based on the Black-Scholes valuation model. Measurement inputs include share price on measurement date, exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility (based on weighted average historical volatility adjusted for changes expected due to publicly available information), weighted average expected life of the instruments (based on historical experience and general option holder behaviour), expected dividends, and the risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds). Service and non-market performance conditions attached to the transactions, if any, are not taken into account in determining fair value.
