MICROMEM TECHNOLOGIES INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)

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

January 31, 2010 and 2009

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 was recorded as a reverse takeover under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”) which, except as outlined in Note 18, conforms with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

 

The Company currently operates as a developer of non-volatile magnetic memory technology and has developed magnetic sensor technology applications. The Company has not generated revenue through January 31, 2010 and is devoting substantially all of its efforts to the development of its technologies. Accordingly, for financial reporting purposes, the Company is a development stage enterprise.

 

 

2.

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.

 

 

Certain principal conditions and events are prevalent which indicate that there is doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time in future. The Company has incurred substantial recurring losses to date; it reports a working capital deficiency at January 31, 2010.

 

 

The Company continues to pursue its development initiatives in order to develop its technologies for commercial applications and continues to raise financing for operations as outlined in Note 11.

 

 

It will be necessary for the Company to raise additional funds for the continued development, testing and commercial exploitation of its technologies. To date the Company has raised financing through successive unit private placements, through the exercise of common share stock options and through the exercise of common share purchase warrants. It has also secured periodic term loans.

January 31, 2010 and 2009

2.

GOING CONCERN (cont’d)

 

 

In the current fiscal year, the Company anticipates that (i) it will realize initial revenues from commercialization efforts with current strategic development partners, (ii) it will monitor the timing of incurring additional expenses in keeping with its ongoing working capital position, and (iii) it will continue to secure financing in the same manner in which it has raised financing to date.

 

 

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 to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the balance sheet classifications used.

 

 

3.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING 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 U.S. GAAP (except as disclosed in Note 18). The most significant accounting policies are as follows:


  a.

Principles of Consolidation:

   

 

 

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries:


  i.

Memtech International Inc., Memtech International (U.S.A.) Inc., Pageant Technologies Inc. and Pageant Technologies (U.S.A.) Inc. and Micromem Holdings (Barbados) Inc. all of which are inactive companies.

   

 

  ii.

On November 10, 2007 the Company incorporated Micromem Applied Sensors Technology, Inc. (“MAST”) as a wholly-owned subsidiary domiciled in Delaware. MAST has the primary responsibility for the further development of the Company’s technologies in conjunction with various potential strategic development partners.

  iii.

On October 30, 2008, the Company incorporated 7070179 Canada Inc. as a wholly- owned subsidiary. On October 31, 2008, the Company assigned its rights, title and interests in certain patents which it previously held directly to 7070179 Canada Inc. in exchange for common shares of this subsidiary.


 

All intercompany investments, balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

   

 

  b.

Use of Estimates:

   

 

 

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 income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   

 

 

Significant estimates made by the Company include the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, the value of the promissory note receivable, the expected life of property and equipment, the valuation of patents, the valuation of deferred development costs incurred, the valuation of accrued liabilities and the computation of fair values of stock options and warrants using the Black Scholes option-pricing model.

   

 

  c.

Financial Instruments – Recognition, Measurement, Disclosure and Presentation:

   

 

 

Section 3855 establishes standards for recognizing and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities and non-financial derivatives. All financial assets and financial liabilities, including derivatives, are initially measured in the balance sheet at fair value, except for loans and receivables, investments held-to maturity and other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost. Measurement in subsequent periods depends on whether the financial instrument had been classified as held-for trading, available-for-sale, held-to- maturity, loans and receivables, or other liabilities.

   

 

 

Held-for-trading financial investments are measured at fair value and all gains and losses are included in net income in the period in which they arise. Available-for-sale financial instruments are measured at fair value with revaluation gains and losses included in other comprehensive income until the assets are removed from the balance sheet.

January 31, 2010 and 2009

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)

 

As a result of the adoption of these standards, the Company classifies cash and cash equivalents as held-for-trading. Held-for-trading financial assets are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Accounts receivable initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

   

 

  d.

Comprehensive Income:

   

 

 

Section 1530 requires the presentation of comprehensive income, which consists of net income and other comprehensive income ("OCI"). Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity from transactions and other events from non-owner sources. OCI refers to items recognized in comprehensive income but that are excluded from net income calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company does not currently have any other comprehensive income and accordingly, a statement of comprehensive income has not been presented.

   

 

  e.

Foreign Currency Translation:

   

 

 

The functional and reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar. The Company’s wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries are integrated foreign operations and, therefore, the Company uses the temporal method whereby monetary assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars at the rate of exchange in effect at the consolidated balance sheet dates and non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates. Income and expenses are translated using the three month average rate of exchange per quarter, 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.

   

 

  f.

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.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)

  g.

Short-Term Investment:

   

 

 

Short-term investment consists of a secured, interest-bearing promissory note with a maturity date, as of January 31, 2010, greater than three months but less than one year and is carried at fair market value (Note 7).

   

 

  h.

Loan Impairment:

   

 

 

Impaired loans are accounted for at their face amount net of the allowance for loan impairment. When a loan is deemed to be impaired, its carrying amount is reduced to its estimated realizable amount which is measured by discounting the expected future cash flows at the effective interest rate inherent in the loans. The amount initially recognized as an impairment loan, together with any subsequent change, is charged to the allowance as an adjustment. A write-off of the loan will occur when the loan is believed to have no reasonable expectation of collectability.

     
  i. Inventory:
     
 

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, where cost is determined on a first in, first out basis. Net realizable value for parts and materials is replacement cost. The cost of finished goods and work in progress includes parts, materials, labour and an allocation of direct overhead expenses.

   

 

 

The Company has determined that, at January 31, 2010, the prototype units that it is developing do not constitute saleable inventory and accordingly, no inventory balances are reported.

   

 

  j.

Long-lived Assets:

   

 

 

Long-lived assets consist of property and equipment, patents and trademarks, royalty rights and deferred development costs.

   

 

 

The Company initially records the value of the long-lived assets acquired at cost. Such assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. In such circumstances, an impairment loss is calculated as equal to the excess of the carrying value of the assets over their fair value.

  k. Property and Equipment:
     
 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are amortized over their estimated useful lives at the following annual rates and methods:


  Computers 30% declining balance basis
  Office equipment 30% declining balance basis

  l. Research and Development Costs
     
 

Research costs are expensed in the period incurred. Development costs are expensed as incurred unless they meet the criteria for deferral. During fiscal 2009, the Company determined that its continuing activities related to the development of its memory and sensor technology met the deferral criteria and, accordingly, these costs have been capitalized and are tested annually for recoverability. Development costs will be amortized on an appropriate basis at the time the Company enters commercial production.

   

 

 

Investment tax credits (ITCs) arising from research and development are recognized when their realization is reasonably assured. The ITCs are applied against the related costs and expenditures in the year that they are incurred.

   

 

  m.

Patents

   

 

 

Patents are recorded at cost and are amortized on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives of 10 years.

   

 

  n.

Unit Private Placements:

   

 

 

Until October 31, 2008, the Company had adopted the residual value approach in accounting for the value assigned to the common shares and the warrants which it has made available in a number of Unit private placement financings. Under this residual value approach, the Company assigned 100% of the proceeds from the Unit private placement to the common shares and a nil value to the attached warrants.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)

 

In the year ended October 31, 2009 the Company changed the estimates that it used to value the common shares and the warrants included in the Unit private placement financings which it completed in the fiscal year then ended. It assigned a value to the warrants which form part of these Unit private placements, using the relative fair value approach, calculated in accordance with the Black Scholes option pricing model.

   

 

  o.

Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments:

   

 

 

The Company applies the fair value based method of accounting for all stock-based payments to employees and non-employees and all direct awards of stocks. Accordingly, stock-based payments are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred, whichever is more reliably measurable. Stock-based compensation is charged to operations over the vesting period and the offset is credited to contributed surplus.

   

 

 

Consideration received upon the exercise of stock options and warrants is credited to share capital and the related contributed surplus is transferred to share capital.

   

 

 

The fair value of stock options and warrants is determined by the Black Scholes option- pricing model with assumptions for risk free interest rates, dividend yields, volatility factors of the expected market price of the Company’s common shares and an expected life of the option or warrant issued. The fair value of direct awards of stock is determined by the quoted market price of the Company’s stock.

   

 

  p.

Income Taxes:

   

 

 

The Company accounts for income taxes by the asset and liability method. Under the asset and 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 estimated that a future income tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is provided.

  q. Earnings or Loss Per Share:
     
 

Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding during the year. Potential common shares consist of incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method.


4. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY
   

Goodwill and Intangible Assets:

 

 

Effective November 1, 2008, the Company adopted the recommendation of the CICA Handbook Section 3064 released in February 2008, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets”, in replacement of Section 3062, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and Section 3450, “Research and Development Costs”.

 

 

Section 3064 establishes the standards for recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing information applicable to goodwill after its initial recognition and to the intangible assets of profit-oriented enterprises. With respect to goodwill, Section 3064 contains the same requirements s former Section 3062.

 

 

Adoption of this standard had no significant impact on Company’s financial statements.

5. RECENT CANADIAN ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT YET ADOPTED

  a. Business Combinations:
     
 

In January 2009, the CICA issued Section 1582, Business Combinations, which replaces former guidance on business combinations. Section 1582 establishes principles and requirements of the acquisition method for business combinations and related disclosures. In addition, the CICA issued Sections 1601, Consolidated Financial Statements, and 1602, Non-Controlling Interests, which replaces the existing guidance. Section 1601 establishes standards for the preparation of consolidated financial statements, while section 1602 provides guidance on accounting for a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary in consolidated financial statements subsequent to business combination.

   

 

 

These standards apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2011 with earlier application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new section to determine the potential impact on its consolidated financial statements.

   

 

  b.

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS):

   

 

 

In February 2008, the Accounting Standards Board ("AcSB") confirmed that the use of IFRS will be required in 2011 for publicly accountable enterprises in Canada. In April, 2008, the AcSB issued an IFRS Omnibus Exposure Draft proposing that publicly accountable enterprises be required to apply IFRS, in full and without modification, on January 1, 2011. The adoption date of January 1, 2011 will require the restatement, for comparative purposes, of amounts reported by the Company for its year ended October 31, 2011, and of the opening balance sheet as at November 1, 2010. The AcSB proposes that CICA Handbook Section, Accounting Changes, paragraph 1506.30, which would require an entity to disclose information relating to a new primary source of GAAP that has been issued but is not yet effective and that the entity has not applied, not be applied with respect to the IFRS Omnibus Exposure Draft. The Company is continuing to assess the financial reporting impacts of the adoption of IFRS and, at this time, the impact on future financial position and results of operations is not reasonably determinable or estimable. The Company does anticipate a significant increase in disclosure resulting from the adoption of IFRS and is continuing to assess the level of disclosure required, as well as system changes that may be necessary to gather an process the required information.

6. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
   
The Company’s objective when managing capital is to maintain its ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. The Company includes equity, comprised of issued capital stock, contributed surplus and deficit, in the definition of capital. The Company’s primary objective with respect to its capital management is to ensure that it has sufficient cash resources to further develop and market its technologies and to maintain its ongoing operations. To secure the additional capital necessary to pursue these plans, the Company may attempt to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity and warrants 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, 2010.
   
7. PROMISSORY NOTE RECEIVABLE
   
In April 2009, the Company advanced $200,000 out of a maximum facility of $500,000 to a private company incorporated in New Jersey and a strategic development partner of the Company. On August 1, 2009, the Company and the private company executed a promissory note with respect to the $200,000 advance stipulating the following terms and conditions:

  a. Maturity date of September 30, 2010.
     
  b. Interest payable on a quarterly basis in arrears calculated from August 1, 2009 at a rate of 10%.
     
  c. Secured by a first priority security interest over all of the assets of the private company.

  c. Loss per share
     
 

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.

In May 2008 these warrants were exercised. The price of the Company’s common shares upon the date of exercise was $2.09 per share and the Company issued 646,886 common shares for nil proceeds to discharge the 800,000 warrants exercised.

17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Cont’d)

  c. Financial Risk Management
     
 

The Company is exposed to a variety of financial risks by virtue of its activities: market risk (including foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk) and liquidity risk. The overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on financial performance. Risk management is carried out under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Management is charged with the responsibility of establishing controls and procedures to ensure that financial risks are mitigated in accordance with the approved policies.

     
  Market Risk:

  i. Foreign Exchange Risk:
     
 

The Company currently incurs expenses in Canadian dollars. The total monetary financial instruments are in net liabilities position. The management monitors the Canadian net liability position on a periodic basis throughout the course of the year and adjusts the total net monetary liability balance accordingly.

     
  ii. Interest Rate Risk:

Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flow of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

Financial assets and financial liabilities with variable interest rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, and promissory note receivable earn interest at market rates. The Company manages its interest rate risk by maximizing the interest income earned on excess funds while maintaining the liquidity necessary to conduct operations on a day-to-day basis. Fluctuations in market rates of interest may have an impact on the Company’s results of operations.

17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Cont’d)
   
Liquidity Risk:
   

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as they fall due.

 

 

The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipated investing and financing activities. Senior management is actively involved in the review and approval of planned expenditures.

 

 

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 and cash equivalents, deposit and other receivables. The carrying amount of financial assets represents maximum credit exposure.

 

 

As at January 31, 2010, the Company reports a working capital deficiency of $341,756 and has certain financial commitments (Note 15), the majority of which are due within one year. It must continue to raise financing in order to meet its current obligations.


18. RECONCILIATION BETWEEN CANADIAN GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (“CANADIAN GAAP”) AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (“U.S. GAAP”)
   

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP which, in the case of the Company, conforms in all material respects with U.S. GAAP except for the accounting for development costs and prior valuations of Unit private placements. These are discussed below:


  a. Development costs:
     
 

Under U.S. GAAP, all development costs are expensed as incurred. Under Canadian GAAP, development costs that meet criteria for deferral are capitalized.

  b. Valuation of Unit private placements:
     
 

During the year ended October 31, 2009, the Company, for Canadian GAAP purposes, started estimating the value of common shares and the warrants included in the Unit private placement financings using relative fair value method. It assigned a value to the warrants which formed part of these Unit private placements calculated in accordance with the Black Scholes option pricing model.

   

 

 

Under U.S. GAAP, the valuation of the shares and warrants have always been determined using the relative fair value approach. The above difference has no effect on aggregate shareholders’ equity.

   

 

  c.

Subsequent events

   

 

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the end of the most recent fiscal year through March 19, 2010, the date the consolidated financial statements were issued.

  e. Adoption of new accounting polices
     
 

In May 2009 the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting pronouncement establishing general standards of accounting for and disclosure of subsequent events, which are events occurring after the balance sheet date the financial statements are issued or available to be issued. In particular, the pronouncement requires entities to recognize in the financial statements the effect of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence of conditions that existed at the balance sheet date, including the estimates inherent in the financial preparations process. Entities may not recognize the impact of subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the balance sheet date but arose after that date. The pronouncement also requires entities to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. The pronouncement was effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted the provisions of the pronouncement, as required, and adoptions did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

   

 

 

In June 2009 the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement that will be the single source of authoritative non-governmental U.S. GAAP. Rules and interpretative releases of the SEC under authority on federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. This pronouncement is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 2009. All existing accounting standards are superseded as described in this pronouncement. All other accounting literature not included in this codification is non- authoritative. The adoption of this pronouncement has not had a material impact on the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

  f. Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes
     
 

FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”). The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides accounting guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The evaluation of tax positions under FIN 48 is a two-step process, whereby (1) the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company would recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. The Company has not adopted FIN 48 for Canadian GAAP purposes. Based on the Company’s assessment, the adoption of FIN 48 would not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements for purposes of reconciling Canadian GAAP to U.S. GAAP.


19. SEGMENTED INFORMATION
   
There is one operating segment of the business being the development and commercialization efforts with respect to the Company's proprietary memory and sensor application. There is one predominant market segment being the North American market for such technology.
