NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
Three and six months ended November 30, 2006 and 2005
1. Basis of presentation
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Lorus Therapeutics Inc. (“the Company”) have been prepared by the Company in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and do not include all the information required for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the audited annual financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2006. These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2006.
The information presented as at and for the three and six months ended November 30, 2006 and November 30, 2005 reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
The Company has not earned substantial revenues from its drug candidates and is therefore considered to be in the development stage. The continuation of the Company’s research and development activities is dependent upon the Company’s ability to successfully finance its cash requirements through a combination of equity financing and payments from strategic partners. The Company has no current sources of payments from strategic partners. In addition, the Company will need to repay or refinance the secured convertible debentures on their maturity should the holder not choose to convert the debentures into common shares. There can be no assurance that additional funding will be available at all or on acceptable terms to permit further development of the Company’s product candidates or to repay the convertible debentures on maturity.
Management believes that the Company’s current level of cash and short-term investments will be sufficient to execute the Company’s current planned expenditures for the next twelve months. If the Company is not able to raise additional funds, it may not be able to continue as a going concern and realize its assets and pay its liabilities as they fall due. The financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the going concern assumption were not appropriate. If the going concern basis were not appropriate for these financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary in the carrying value of the assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses and the balance sheet classifications used.

(b) Interest payments
Interest payments relate to interest payable on the $15.0 million convertible debentures payable at a rate of prime +1% until such time as the Company’s share price reaches $1.75 for 60 consecutive trading days, at which time, interest will no longer be charged. Common shares issued in payment of interest were issued at a price
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

equal to the weighted average trading price of such shares for the ten trading days immediately preceding their issue in respect of each interest payment.
(c) Equity issuances
On August 30, 2006, the Company raised gross proceeds of $10.4 million by way of a subscription agreement for 28.8 million common shares at a price of $0.36 per common share. The 28.8 million common shares have been qualified for distribution in Canada under a short form prospectus filed on August 25, 2006 with the Ontario Securities Commission. In connection with the transaction, the investor received demand registration rights that will enable the investor to request the registration or qualification of the common shares for resale in the United States and Canada, subject to certain restrictions. These demand registration rights will expire on June 30, 2012.
On August 31, 2006, the Company raised gross proceeds of $1.8 million by way of a private placement for 5.0 million common shares at a price of $0.36 per common share.
The Company incurred expenses of $527 thousand related to these issuances, which have been recorded as a reduction to share capital.
During the quarter ended August 31, 2006, 46 thousand stock options were exercised for cash proceeds of $14 thousand (August 31, 2005 - nil)
(d) Loss per share
The Company has excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share all common shares potentially issuable upon the exercise of stock options, warrants and the convertible debenture that could dilute basic loss per share, because to do so would be anti-dilutive.

5. Corporate changes
(a) In November 2005, as a means to conserve cash and refocus operations, the Company scaled back some activities related to the Virulizin® technology and implemented a workforce reduction of approximately 39% or 22 employees.
In accordance with EIC 134 - Accounting for Severance and Termination Benefits, during the three-month and six-month periods ended November 30, 2005 the Company recorded severance compensation expense for former employees of $557 thousand. Of this expense, $468 thousand was presented in the income statement as general and administrative expense and $89 thousand as research and development expense. All severance and compensation expense liabilities relating to the Company’s November 2005 corporate changes have been paid as of November 30, 2006 (May 31, 2006 - $154 thousand remained in accrued liabilities).
(b) On September 19, 2006 the Company announced that Dr. Jim Wright would step down as the President and Chief Executive Officer effective September 21, 2006. The departure of Dr. Wright resulted in a liability based on a mutual separation agreement executed during the three months ended May 31, 2006 of $500 thousand recorded in general and administrative expense. Accrued liabilities at November 30, 2006 include severance liabilities relating to the mutual separation of $250 thousand that will be paid during the third quarter.
6. Secured convertible debentures
The terms of the secured convertible debentures are described in note 13 to the Company's annual consolidated financial for the year ended May 31, 2006. The debentures are due on October 6, 2009 and may be converted at the holder's option at any time into common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $1.00 per share. The lender has the option to demand repayment in the event of default, including the failure to maintain certain subjective covenants, representations and warranties.
Management assesses on a quarterly basis whether or not events during the quarter could be considered an event of default. This assessment was performed and management believes that there has not been an event of default and that, at November 30, 2006; the term of the debt remains unchanged.
