Q: Hi 5i, this company recently tried to sell itself and there were no takers. They now have decided to let go of 25% of the workforce and buy up to 150 million dollars of shares back.

Looks like they will be cash flow positive by next quarter and are starting to get better traction on selling the drug.

The drug patent is for dosing as the chemical composition expires in a couple years. How would you value this company and would you rate it a buy hold or sell.

Q: Hi 5i, recently Aurinia's patent challenge has been resolved. The stock price has doubled and then some off the lows which is nice but not where it was before this challenge began. The big deal now is sales for the company. What do you think of the current sales and what kind of a buy out value could be put on this company. I realize this would be a guesstimate but your experience in such matters is much greater than mine!

Q: Aurinia appears to have increasing revenue now and the question is how fast does it ramp up to increase the share price, I believe they have the goods so if this is true considering market capitalization and potential where could we see the share price when looking at the analyst estimates? There easily could be a buy out of this company so the question is after what upcoming event(s) would be the best timing for this. If they go it alone what does your experience tell you and can you put percentages on a guesstimate? Do you have any relevant Bloomberg script numbers? Also, do you think the company is currently worth the risk at the $13.64 a share. Your help is appreciated.
