MICROMEM TECHNOLOGIES INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in United States dollars)

January 31, 2005

  1. Nature of business:

Micromem Technologies Inc. ("Micromem" or the "Company") is a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada. By Articles of Amendment dated January 14, 1999, the Company changed its name from Avanticorp International Inc. to Micromem Technologies Inc. On January 11, 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Pageant Technologies Inc. ("Pageant"), a company subsisting under the laws of Barbados. This acquisition, as described in Note 3(b), was recorded as a reverse takeover under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("Canadian GAAP").

The Company currently operates in a single segment as a developer of non-volatile magnetic memory technology. To January 31, 2005 the Company has not generated significant revenue and is devoting substantially all of its efforts to the development of its technology. Accordingly, for financial reporting purposes, the Company is a development stage enterprise.

  1. Going concern:

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the "going concern" basis, which presumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.

The Company has incurred substantial losses to date. It will be necessary to raise additional funds for the continuing development, testing and commercial exploitation of its technology. The sources of these funds have not yet been identified and there can be no certainty that sources will be available in the future.

The Company continues to pursue its research initiatives as outlined in Note 13 in order to develop its technology for commercial applications and continues to raise financing for operations as outlined in Note 8(e).

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and it is dependent upon completing the development of its technology for a particular application, achieving profitable operations, obtaining additional financing and successfully bringing its technology to the market. The outcome of these matters

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

January 31, 2005

cannot be predicted at this time. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of the assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in business. If the "going concern" assumption were not appropriate for these consolidated financial statements then adjustments would be necessary in the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the balance sheet classifications used.

  1. Summary of significant account policies:

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP and are stated in United States dollars. These principles are also in conformity in all material respects with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") as described in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements. The most significant accounting policies are as follows:

  1. Financial reporting:

The Company has adopted Section 1100 of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants ("CICA") Handbook, "Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" ("GAAP"). This section establishes standards for financial reporting in accordance with GAAP and provides guidance on sources to consult with when selecting accounting policies and determining the appropriate disclosures when an item is not explicitly dealt with in the primary sources of GAAP. The Company also adopted Section 1400 of the CICA Handbook, "General Standards of Financial Statement Presentation". This section clarifies what constitutes "fair presentation in accordance with GAAP". The Company also adopted Section 3063 of the CICA Handbook, "Impairment of Long Lived Assets". This section requires the Company to measure and disclose impairments of long-lived assets. Adoption of these sections did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

  1. Principles of consolidation:

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Memtech International Inc., Memtech International (U.S.A.) Inc., Pageant Technologies Inc. and Pageant Technologies (U.S.A.) Inc.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

January 31, 2005

During the fiscal year ending October 31, 2003, two of the Company's subsidiaries, Micromem Technologies B.V. and Micromem Technologies S.p.A. were wound up. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

  1. Basis of presentation:

On January 11, 1999, the Company issued 32,000,000 common shares and 1,000,000 warrants to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Pageant. On that date, the total number of the Company shares outstanding was 35,980,643 shares. As a result of this transaction, the shareholders of Pageant owned 88.9% of the outstanding common shares of the Company and, accordingly, the purchase of Pageant was accounted for as a reverse takeover transaction.

Application of reverse takeover accounting results in the following:

  1. the consolidated financial statements of the combined entity are issued under the name of the legal parent, Micromem, but are considered a continuation of the financial statements of Pageant, the legal subsidiary;
     

  2. as Pageant is deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes, its assets and liabilities are included in the consolidated financial statements at their historical carrying values;
     

  3. the operating results for the period from September 3, 1997 to January 11, 1999, which are included in the cumulative operating results through January 31, 2005, are those of Pageant;
     

  4. control of the assets and operations of the Company is deemed to be acquired by Pageant effective January 11, 1999. For purposes of this transaction, the deemed consideration is $549,140 ascribed to the net assets of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the business combination; and
     

  5. Pageant became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. For accounting purposes, at January 11, 1999, the outstanding shares of the Company, the continuing consolidated entity, consisted of the number of

Micromem shares issued to that date with an assigned value equal to the share capital of the continuing consolidated entity at that date as computed below.

The transaction was accounted for by the purchase method with the results of operations included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Details of the Company's net assets acquired and the assigned fair value of net assets at acquisition are as follows:

     
Cash $ 168,084
Non-cash current assets   115,629
Investments   371,471

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with Canadian GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

  1. Cash and cash equivalents:

Cash and cash equivalents consist of all bank accounts and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase.

  1. Capital Assets:

Capital assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided on capital assets on a straight-line basis for a period of up to three years. Capital assets are reviewed for impairment whenever

events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. When circumstances dictate, an impairment loss is calculated as equal to the excess of the carrying value of the assets over their undiscounted estimated future net cash flow.

  1. Patents and trademarks:

Effective November 1, 2001, the Company changed its accounting policy for patents and trademarks to be recorded at cost less accumulated amortization which is provided on a straight-line basis over ten years. In prior years the Company accounted for its patents and trademarks at cost and amortization was to commence on an appropriate basis to charge off the cost over the future benefit period, not exceeding the legal life, when sales commence. There was no material impact on prior years' consolidated financial statements and accordingly, the comparative consolidated financial statements have not been restated.

For the year ended October 31, 2002, the change in accounting policy resulted in an increase in amortization expense and net loss of $31,338 and there was no material impact on net loss per share.

Patents and trademarks are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. When circumstances dictate, an impairment loss is calculated as equal to the excess of the carrying value of the assets over their undiscounted estimated future net cash flow (Note 7).

  1. Research and development expenses:

Research costs are expensed in the period incurred. Development expenses are expensed as incurred unless they meet the criteria for deferral and amortization under Canadian GAAP. The Company has determined that no development costs have met these criteria at the financial reporting date.

  1. Stock-based compensation:

The Company has a stock-based compensation plan, which is described in Note 8. Stock-based compensation is recognized by the fair value method, whereby compensation is recorded to the extent that the exercise price is not based on the market value of the Company's common shares at the date of grant. Any compensatory benefit recorded is recognized initially as deferred share compensation in the consolidated statements of shareholders' equity and then charged against income over the contractual or vesting period.

Until October 31, 2004 for all awards of employee stock-based compensation granted after January 1, 2002, the Company recognized employee stock-based compensation costs under the intrinsic value-based method and provided pro forma disclosure of net income and earnings per share as if the fair value-based method has been applied.

Effective November 1, 2004 the Company has adopted the fair value method of accounting for employee stock-based compensation costs. Accordingly the cumulative deficit at October 31, 2004 has been restated for the cumulative effect of the stock-based compensation costs that the Company has incurred to that date which expense previously was disclosed on a proforma basis.

The stock-based compensation expense for options granted during the three month period ending January 31, 2005 has been reflected as an expense in the consolidated statement of operations for the period then ended.

  1. Income taxes:

The Company accounts for income taxes by the liability method. Under the liability method, future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled. To the extent that it is not considered to be more likely than not that a future income tax asset will be realized, a valuation allowance is provided.

  1. Impairment of long-term assets:

The Company records the value of the long-term assets acquired at cost. Such rights are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. When circumstances dictate an impairment loss is calculated as equal to the excess of the carrying value of the assets over their undiscounted estimated future net cash flows.

  1. Foreign currency translation:

The functional currency of the Company is the United States dollar. The Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries are integrated foreign operations and therefore, the Company uses the temporal method whereby monetary assets and liabilities are translated into United States (U.S.) dollars at the rate of exchange in effect at the consolidated balance sheet dates. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates. Revenue and expenses are translated using the average monthly rate of exchange, which rate approximates the rate of exchange prevailing at the transaction dates. Gains or losses resulting from translation are included in the determination of net loss for the period.

The Company's monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into United States dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the consolidated balance sheet dates. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than United States dollars are translated into United States dollars using the historical rate of exchange in effect on the date the transaction occurred. Revenue and expense items are translated using the average monthly rate of exchange, which rate approximates the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Resulting exchange gains or losses are included in net loss for the period.

  1. Acquisition of royalty rights and remaining interest in technology from Estancia Limited:

On December 9, 2000, the Company and its subsidiary, Pageant, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with Estancia Limited ("Estancia") and Richard Lienau ("Lienau") to purchase the remaining 50% interests in the patents which the Company did not own and a 40% gross profit royalty ("Estancia Royalty"),

in respect of certain ferromagnetic memory technology known as VEMRAM (previously known as MAGRAM) and covered by U.S. Patent #5,295,097 and the related patent applications (the "Vemram Patents") described in the Agreement and all rights (the "Technology") held by Estancia and Lienau under the Joint Ownership and Licensing Agreement dated September 17, 1997 among Estancia, Lienau and Pageant. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company was required to pay a maximum purchase price of $50,000,000 to Estancia as follows:

  1. $10,000,000 was paid on closing (after receipt of regulatory approvals), in the form of $8,000,000 in common shares of the Company ("Micromem Shares") (based on the price on the closing date) and $2,000,000 in cash;
     

  2. $20,000,000 if and when either (i) certification is received from Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies ("Honeywell") that fully integrated, randomly addressable memory matrices of the Technology have met certain stipulated performance standards, or (ii) the Company or any of its affiliates executes a definitive agreement for the sale or licensing of the Technology to an arm's length third party for any commercial purposes other than testing or evaluation of the Technology; payable in the form of cash and Micromem Shares to be determined by Pageant provided that a minimum of 50% of the $20,000,000 shall be paid in Micromem Shares valued at the close of trading on the date of receipt of such certification, sale or licensing; and
     

  3. $20,000,000 if and when the Company or any of its affiliates executes a definitive agreement for the sale or licensing with respect to any technology (including the Technology) owned by the Company to an arm's length third party for any commercial purposes other than testing or evaluation of the technology, payable in the form of cash and Micromem Shares to be determined by Pageant provided that a minimum of 50% of the $20,000,000 shall be paid in Micromem Shares valued at the close of trading on the date of execution of such sale or licensing.

 During fiscal 2001, the Company paid $2,000,000 in cash and issued 2,007,831 shares, being the equivalent of $8,000,000, the first installment payable under the terms described above, on approval by its shareholders in the annual shareholder meeting held on March 14, 2001. The $10,000,000 paid was initially recorded as royalty rights in fiscal 2001 and was written-down to nil in fiscal 2002 (Note 10).

On March 9, 2004 the third anniversary of the closing date, the requirements set out in terms (b) and (c) above were not met and, in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, the Company's obligations to pay these amounts terminated. The Company thus has had to revert to Estancia:

  1. a 40% interest in the Vemram Patents;
     
  2. a 32% interest in the gross profit, less expenses agreed to by the parties, for each license of the Vemram Patents sold or otherwise transferred by Pageant; and
     
  3. a 32% interest of any unit royalties received by Pageant as a result of the license or sale of the Vemram Patents less reasonable expenses directly related to the obtaining of said royalties.

  1. Authorized:

2,000,000 special preference shares, redeemable, voting, none of which are issued and outstanding Unlimited common shares without par value.

  1. Stock option plan:

The Company has a fixed stock option plan. Under the Company's Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"), the Company may grant options for up to 13,000,000 shares of common stock to directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries. The exercise price of each option is equal to or greater than the market price of the Company's shares on the date of grant unless otherwise permitted by applicable securities regulations. An option's maximum term under the Plan is 10 years.

A summary of the status of the Company's fixed stock option plan as at January 31, 2005 and 2003 and changes during the years ended on those dates is as follows:

In June 2004, 5,300,000 options were exercised resulting in $530,000 of cash proceeds to the Company.

The following table summarizes information about fixed options outstanding as at January 31, 2005:

At October 31, 2004 the cumulative stock compensation expense for stock options granted to employees has been calculated using the Black Scholes option-price model as $17,829,459 which expense has previously not been reflected in the consolidated statement of operations and deficit. Effective November 1, 2004, the Company has adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock compensation expense and accordingly has restated the cumulative deficit by $17,829,459 at October 31, 2004. Contributed surplus has been adjusted for an equivalent amount.

In the quarter ending January 31, 2005 the Company granted 300,000 options to the newly hired Chief Technology Officer (Note 13(d)) at an exercise price of $.80 per share. These options expire in February 2007 if unexercised. The Company also granted 100,000 options to an officer and employee of the Company at an exercised price of $.91 per share. These options expire in January 2010 if unexercised.

For the 3 months ended January 31, 2005 the fair value of all options granted was calculated as of the date of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

(Expressed in United States dollars)

January 31, 2005

 

Dividend yield -
Expected volatility 142%
Risk free interest rate 3.25%
Expected option life 1.5 years

On this basis, the current expense for the three months ended January 31, 2005 has been calculated as $202,203 and this expense has been recorded in the consolidated statement of operations for the three months then ended with an equivalent charge to contributed surplus.

  1. Loss per share

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the dilution that would occur if outstanding stock options and share purchase warrants were exercised or converted into common shares using the treasury stock method and is calculated by dividing net loss applicable to common shares by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and all additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive common shares had been issued.

The inclusion of the Company's stock options and share purchase warrants in the computation of diluted loss per share would have an anti-dilutive effect on loss per share and they are therefore excluded from the computation. Consequently, there is no difference between basic loss per share and diluted loss per share.

  1. Warrants

On August 13, 2003, the Company issued 2,031,250 First Units at $0.08 each. Each First Unit provides the holder with one common share and a warrant for one Second Unit at $0.08 each, exercisable for one year. Each Second Unit provides the holder with one common share and a warrant for one common share at $0.08 each, exercisable for one year.

In accordance with the CICA's recommendations, a portion of the First Unit should be allocated into separate elements within shareholders' equity as the First Units contain two equity elements arising from the common share and warrants attached. The Company has allocated the closing trading value of its shares as at August 13, 2003 to the common shares. Since the net proceeds received from the issuance of the common shares attached to the First Units equaled the closing trading value at the date authorized by the Board of Directors, the warrants were allocated a nil value.

Between August - October 2004, the holders of the First Units exercised the First Unit warrants and the Company thus issued 2,031,250 common shares and the warrants for the Second Units and realized proceeds of $162,500.

  1. Private Placements
  1. In December 2003, the Company completed Unit private placements to two Canadian private investors pursuant to prospectus and registration exemptions set forth in applicable securities laws. Under the private placements, the Company received $33,000 as subscription proceeds for the sale and issue of 300,000 Units. Each Unit consists of one Common Share and one Series A Warrant. Each Series A Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Common Share and one Series B Warrant for $0.11 until expiry 12 months from the date of issue. Each Series B Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional Common Share for $0.11 until expiry 12 months from the date of issue.

    In October 2004 the private investors exercised 200,000 Series A warrants and the Company thus issued 200,000 common shares and 200,000 Series B warrants and realized proceeds of $22,000.

    In the quarter ended January 31, 2005 the private investors exercised the remaining Series A warrants and the Company thus issued 100,000 additional common shares and 100,000 Series B warrants and realized proceeds of $11,000. The investors then exercised 300,000 Series B warrants and the Company thus issued 300,000 common shares and realized proceeds of $33,000.

This forgiven debt was treated as contributed surplus, a separate component of shareholders' equity, as this balance was between related parties.

  1. Restructuring and write-down of royalty rights:

On July 29, 2002, the Company restructured its operations by closing its research and development facility and adopted a plan to focus its current resources to outsource its research and development activities as described in Note 13(a). No major costs were associated with this restructuring.

As a result of the restructuring, the Company determined that there was significant uncertainty that any amounts would be payable to Estancia in the foreseeable future in respect of the Estancia Royalty as described in Note 4, and accordingly, the Estancia Royalty rights acquired in the amount of $10,000,000 were written off in fiscal 2002.

  1. Consulting contract:

In January 2005 the Company entered into a consulting contract with an arm's length individual for her services as Chief Technology Officer of the Company. The agreement extends for 2 years with a cancellation clause which can be executed by the Company at any time with 4 months notice provided. The base remuneration stipulated in the contract is $260,000 per year. The Company also granted the Chief Technology Officer 300,000 in options exercisable at $0.80 per share, expiring 45 days after the end of the above noted employment agreement.

  1. Contingencies:

Pageant Technologies (U.S.A.) Inc. has been named as a defendant in legal actions relating to tenant improvements on a leased property, including an action claiming damages of approximately $887,000 alleging breach of contract under a construction contract entered into by Clear Blue Laboratories, Inc. ("Clear Blue"). The landlord of the leased property is also claiming damages from Pageant Technologies (U.S.A.) Inc. Pageant Technologies (U.S.A.) Inc. assigned its rights under the lease to Clear Blue, however, Pageant Technologies (U.S.A.) Inc. is allegedly obligated to pay the lease payments should the assignee default under the contract. The landlord is claiming damages of approximately $887,000.

The outcome of these actions is uncertain and Pageant Technologies (U.S.A.) Inc. is vigorously defending all actions in which it is named as a defendant. It is, therefore, not possible to provide an estimate of the financial effects, if any, of the actions. No losses related to these actions have been accrued in these consolidated financial statements. It is possible that the outcome of these claims could represent a material amount.

In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various legal actions. In management's opinion, the ultimate disposition of these actions, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.

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.

The consolidated financial statements include balances/transactions that are denominated in foreign currencies as follows:

  2005 Canadian Dollars 2004 Canadian Dollars
Assets $204,748 $ 270,999

The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP which, in the case of the Company, conform in all material respects with U.S. GAAP.

  1. Stock-Based compensation:

Until October 31, 2004 the Company chose to account for employee stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Under this method, compensation expense is recorded if the market value exceeds the exercise price at the date of grant. The compensation expense, if any, is recognized at the date of option grants or when the option shares are earned, when future performance is required, in the consolidated statements of operations and deficit.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payments". SFAS No. 123(R) would require the Company to measure all employee stock-based compensation awards using a fair-value method and record such expense in its consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 123(R) is effective beginning in the quarter ending January 31, 2005.

The Company has adopted the fair value method to measure all employee stock-based compensation effective November 1, 2004 and accordingly has restated cumulative deficit as of October 31, 2004 to reflect this change, as outlined in Note 8(b).
