Micromem Technologies Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three months ended January 31, 2022 and 2021
(Expressed in United States dollars, unless otherwise noted)

1. Reporting entity and nature of business

Micromem Technologies Inc. ("Micromem" or the "Company") is incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada. Micromem is a publicly traded company with its head office located at 121 Richmond Street West, Suite 304, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The Company's common shares are currently listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the trading symbol "MRM" and on the Over the Counter Venture Market under the trading symbol "MMTIF".

The Company develops, based upon proprietary technology, customized sensor applications for companies (referred to as "Development Partners") operating internationally in various industry segments. The Company has not generated commercial revenues through January 31, 2022 and is devoting substantially all its efforts to securing commercial revenue opportunities.

2. Going concern

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared with the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.

There are material uncertainties related to conditions and events that cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and ultimately on the appropriateness of the use of the accounting principles applicable to a going concern. During the three months ended January 31, 2022, the Company reported a net loss and comprehensive loss of $1,392,843 (2021 - $1,220,301) and negative cash flow from operations of $368,723 (2021 - $109,101). The Company's working capital deficiency as at January 31, 2022 was $4,341,708 (October 31, 2021 - $3,452,924).

The Company's success depends on the profitable commercialization of its proprietary sensor technology. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in the profitable commercialization of its technology. Based upon its current operating and financial plans, management of the Company believes that it will have sufficient access to financial resources to fund the Company's planned operations through fiscal 2022; however, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to secure additional financing and/or to profitably commercialize its technology. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

The COVID-19 pandemic creates additional risk for the Company if there is a prolonged industry slowdown in those sectors where the Company currently operates including the oil and gas sectors in particular. To date, the impact of the pandemic has resulted in the layoff of Company staff as of March 27, 2020. The Company has encountered delays in the commercial plans for its technology with its primary target customers. It secured a government backed loan of $60,000 CDN ($47,559 USD) (October 31, 2021 - $60,000 CDN, $48,243 USD) which matures in December 2025 (Note 8) and received government wage subsidies of $nil CDN ($nil USD) (October 31, 2021 - $167,388 CDN, $133,699 USD) (Note 14(b)(i)). The Company has also received rent subsidies of $nil CDN ($nil USD) (October 31, 2021 - $38,440 CDN, $30,613 USD). 

If the going concern assumption was not appropriate for these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the statement of financial position classifications used; in such cases, these adjustments would be material. 


3. Basis of presentation

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended January 31, 2022 and 2021 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company's audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2021. The Company has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance and release by the Company's Board of Directors on March 16, 2022.

(a) Basis of consolidation

 These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Micromem Technologies Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. The Company applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

 The Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries include:

 (i) Micromem Applied Sensors Technology Inc. ("MAST") which was incorporated in November 2007 and is domiciled in Delaware, United States. MAST has previously had the primary responsibility for the exploitation of the Company's technologies in conjunction with various strategic partners and customers; MAST has been inactive since October 31, 2018.

 (ii) 7070179 Canada Inc. which was incorporated in October 2008 under the Canada Business Corporations Act in Ontario, Canada. The Company has assigned to this entity its rights, title and interests in certain patents, which it previously held, directly, in exchange for common shares of this entity.   

 (iii) Inactive subsidiaries

 Domiciled in 

 Memtech International Inc.
 Bahamas

 Memtech International (USA) Inc., Pageant Technologies (USA) Inc.
 United States 

 Pageant Technologies Inc., Micromem Holdings (Barbados) Inc.
Barbados 

b) Basis of measurement 


3. Basis of presentation (continued)

 These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for financial instruments designated at fair value through profit and loss which are measured at their fair value. 

(c) Functional and presentation currency

 These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars ("USD"), which is the functional currency of the Company and all of its subsidiaries.

(d)  Use of estimates and judgments

 The preparation of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are reviewed periodically and adjustments are made as appropriate in the reporting period they become known. Items for which actual results may differ materially from these estimates are described as below;

 (i) Fair value of options and conversion features

 The Company makes estimates and utilizes assumptions in determining the fair value for stock options and derivative liabilities based on the application of the Black-Scholes option pricing model or the binomial option pricing model, depending on the circumstances. These pricing models require management to make various assumptions and estimates that are susceptible to uncertainty, including the volatility of the share price, expected dividend yield, expected term, expected risk-free interest rate, and exercise price in the binomial option pricing model.

 (ii) Useful lives and recoverability of long-lived assets

 Long-lived assets consist of property and equipment and patents. Amortization is dependent upon estimates of useful lives and impairment is dependent upon estimates of recoverable amounts. These are determined through the exercise of judgment and are dependent upon estimates that take into account factors such as economic and market conditions, frequency of use, anticipated changes in laws, and technological improvements.

(d)  Use of estimates and judgments (continued)

 (iii) Income taxes

 Income taxes and tax exposures recognized in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements reflect management's best estimate of the outcome based on facts known at the reporting date. When the Company anticipates a future income tax payment based on its estimates, it recognizes a liability. The difference between the expected amount and the final tax outcome has an impact on current and deferred taxes when the Company becomes aware of this difference. When the Company incurs losses for income tax purposes, it assesses the probability of taxable income being available in the future, based on budgeted forecasts. These forecasts are adjusted for certain non-taxable income and expenses and specific rules on the use of unused credits and tax losses. When the forecasts indicate that sufficient future taxable income will be available to deduct the temporary differences, a deferred tax asset is recognized for all deductible temporary differences.  

 (iv) Going concern assumption

 The Company applies judgment in assessing whether material uncertainties exist that would cause doubt as to the whether the Company could continue as a going concern.


4. New and revised standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective

Certain pronouncements were issued by the IASB or the IFRIC that are mandatory for accounting periods commencing on or after January 1, 2021. These pronouncements are not applicable or do not have a significant impact to the Company and have been excluded.

8. Long-term loan

As at January 31, 2022, the Company has obtained a $60,000 CDN ($47,559 USD) (October 31, 2021 - $60,000 CDN, $48,243 USD) interest-free loan from the Government of Canada under the Canada Emergency Business Account ("CEBA") program to cover its operating costs. The term loan matures on December 31, 2025. Repaying the balance of the loan on or before December 31, 2022 will result in a loan forgiveness of $20,000 CDN ($15,853 USD). Effective January 1, 2023, any outstanding balance on the term loan shall bear interest at a rate of 5% per annum. As the Company does not yet know whether they will be able to meet the terms of forgiveness, no amount has been recognized to income. 

9. Convertible debentures 

The Company issues three types of convertible debentures: USD denominated convertible debentures with an equity component, Canadian dollar ("CDN") denominated convertible debentures with an embedded derivative due to variable consideration payable upon conversion caused by foreign exchange, and USD denominated convertible debentures with an embedded derivative caused by variable conversion prices.

Share price at grant date $0.05
   
Exercise price $0.05
   
Volatility factor 173%
   
Risk free interest rate 0.09% - 1.12

The Company recorded an expense of $952 with respect to the issuance of these stock options in the quarter ended January 31, 2022. 


12. Loss per share

Basic and diluted loss per share are calculated using the following numerators and denominators:

    Three months ended January 31,    
       
Numerator   2022     2021  
             
Net loss attributable to common shareholders  $ (1,392,843 ) $ (1,220,301 )
             
Net loss used in computation of basic and diluted loss per share $ (1,392,843 ) $ (1,220,301 )
             
Denominator            
             
Weighted average number of common shares for
computation of basic and diluted loss per share 
  442,042,179     410,451,128  

For the three months ended January 31, 2022 and 2021, all stock options and conversion features were anti-dilutive and, therefore, are excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share. 

13. Income taxes

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for income tax purposes. 

As at October 31, 2021, the Company has non-capital losses of approximately $33.6 million, $29.2 million in Canada and $4.4 million in other foreign jurisdictions, available to reduce future taxable income. Non-capital losses expire commencing in 2026. In addition, the Company has available capital loss carry forwards of approximately $1.3 million to reduce future taxable capital gains. Capital losses carry forward indefinitely. 

As at January 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021, the Company assessed that it is not probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to use deferred income tax assets based on operating losses in prior years; therefore, there are no balances recognized in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position for such assets.

 "Key management personnel are persons responsible for planning, directing and controlling activities of the Company, including officers and directors. Compensation paid or payable to these individuals (or companies

    Three months ended January 31,    
       
    2022     2021

(b) Trade payables and other liabilities

 As described in Note 17(b) below, the Company reversed certain amounts totalling $422,982 due to the payables being statute barred. These balances carried forward from prior years and the Company eliminated these balances in 2021. 

16. Key management compensation and related party transactions (continued)

(c) Convertible debentures

 In January 2018, the CEO of the Company provided for a convertible debenture of $150,000 CDN ($114,086 USD). As at January 31, 2022, $9,483 CDN ($7,456 USD)(October 31, 2021 - $9,483 CDN, $7,657 USD) in loan principal remains outstanding. 

17. Contingencies


(a) The Company has agreed to indemnify its directors and officers and certain of its employees in accordance with the Company's by-laws. The Company maintains insurance policies that may provide coverage against certain claims. 

(b) The Company has previously reported on the lawsuit filed by Mr. Steven Van Fleet against Micromem, the Company's response to the lawsuit and its counterclaims against Mr. Van Fleet. 

 On April 29, 2021 the matter was resolved in Micromem's favor when the Court dismissed Mr. Van Fleet's claims and ruled that he was liable to the Company and to MAST on their counterclaims.An inquest hearing to determine damages was held in June 2021. 

 On June 16th, the Court ruled that Micromem and MAST had established damages totaling $765,579 representing the full amount that had been requested; furthermore, the Court awarded costs and statutory prejudgment interest from May 9, 2017.On June 29, 2021 the Court entered a judgement in favor of Micromem and MAST for a total amount of $1,051,739. 

 The Company is now pursuing collection of the judgement award. It will report the recovery of this contingent asset as funds are received. As at October 31, 2021, the Company has recorded recovery of $40,000 received in the period as a reduction of legal expenses. In the 3 month period ended January 31, 2022 the Company has recorded a recovery of $2,400 received in the period as a reduction of legal expense (3 months ended January 31, 2020 - $nil). 

18. Financial risk management

(a) Currency risk

 Currency risk is the risk that the fair value of, or future cash flows from, the Company's financial instruments will significantly fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to currency risk to the extent that it incurs expenses and issues convertible debentures denominated in Canadian dollars (CDN). The Company manages currency risk by monitoring the Canadian position of these monetary financial instruments on a periodic basis throughout the course of the reporting period. 

 As at January 31, 2022, balances that are denominated in CDN are as follows:

    CDN  
       
Cash  $ 3,108  
       
Prepaid expenses and other receivables  $ 27,309  
       
Trade payables and other liabilities  $ 275,872  
       
Convertible debentures  $ 1,504,201  
       
Derivative liabilities $ 1,258,729  

18. Financial risk management

(a) Currency risk (continued)

 A 10% strengthening of the US dollar against the CDN would decrease accumulated deficit by $216,780 as at January 31, 2022 (October 31, 2021 - decrease accumulated deficit by $129,992). A 10% weakening of the USD against the CDN would have the opposite effect of the same magnitude. 


(b) Interest rate risk

 Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of, or future cash flows from, the Company's financial instruments will significantly fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its interest-bearing convertible debentures. This exposure is limited due to the short-term nature of the convertible debentures. 

(c) Liquidity risk

 Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company's policy is to review liquidity resources and ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet financial obligations as they become due. Further, the Company's management is responsible for ensuring funds exist and are readily accessible to support business opportunities as they arise. With the exception of the long-term loan, all financial liabilities are due within 1 year as at January 31, 2022. 

  (i)  Trade payables

 The following represents an analysis of the maturity of trade payables:

    "As at     "As at

18. Financial risk management (continued)

(d) Credit risk

 Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company's cash, development costs receivable, and other receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying value of these financial assets, which amounted to $114,833 as at January 31, 2022 (October 31, 2021 - $192,199). The Company reduces its credit risk by assessing the credit quality of counterparties, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors.  

  (i)  Cash

 The Company held cash of $106,449 at January 31, 2022 (October 31, 2021 - $171,397). The cash is held with central banks and financial institution counterparties that are highly rated. The Company has assessed no significant change in credit risk, which was not recognized in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements. 

19. Fair value hierarchy

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels: 

 Level 1 - valuation based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. There are no assets or liabilities in this category in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.  

 Level 2 - valuation techniques based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. In these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, derivative liabilities are included in this category. 

 Level 3 - valuation techniques using the inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data. There are no assets or liabilities in this category in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements. 

The Company's policy for determining when transfers between levels of fair value hierarchy occur is based on the date of the event or changes in circumstances that caused the transfer. During the three months ended January 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no transfers between levels.  

20. Capital risk management

The Company's objectives when managing capital are to (i) maintain its ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, (ii) ensure it has sufficient cash resources to further develop and market its technologies and (iii) maintain its ongoing operations. The Company defines its capital as its net assets, i.e. total assets less total liabilities. In order to secure the additional capital necessary to pursue these objectives, the Company may attempt to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debentures or by securing strategic partners. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements and there has been no change with respect to the overall capital risk management strategy during the three months ended January 31, 2022.
