REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of IMRIS Inc.:
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of IMRIS Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statement of comprehensive loss, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of IMRIS Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 4, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of IMRIS Inc.:
 
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of IMRIS Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying management report. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company's board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
 
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013 and our report dated March 4, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

1.       DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
IMRIS Inc. (“IMRIS” or the “Company”) designs, manufactures and markets the VISIUS Surgical TheatreTM, a multifunctional surgical environment that provides intraoperative vision to clinicians to assist in decision-making and enhance precision in treatment.  Designed to meet each hospital’s specific clinical application needs, the VISIUS Surgical Theatre can incorporate MR imaging, CT imaging and x-ray angiography in a number of configurations to provide intraoperative images of diagnostic quality - without introducing additional patient transport risk and delivering real-time information to clinicians while preserving optimal surgical access and techniques.  IMRIS sells the VISIUS Surgical Theatres globally to hospitals that deliver clinical services to patients in the neurosurgical, spinal, cerebrovascular and cardiovascular markets.  Management believes the primary market for the current product portfolio is comprised of those hospitals having relatively large neurosurgical, cerebrovascular or cardiovascular practices.  The Company was incorporated on May 18, 2005 under the Canada Business Corporations Act.  The Company’s shares are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “IM” and on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol “IMRS”.
 
Liquidity
 
The Company had cash of $6.4 million and restricted cash of $7.5 million as of December 31, 2013.  Cash and restricted cash as of December 31, 2013, decreased $7.1 million from December 31, 2012 due to cash used in operations of $40.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.  This cash consumption was significantly more than prior periods owing to both additional costs and the overall recognition of MRgRTTM research and development expense and the cost of moving the Company’s operations from Canada to the U.S. 
 
While management believes the Company will have adequate working capital to fund the Company’s operations beyond the next 12 months, it is dependent on the ability of the Company to generate positive cash flow from operations by increasing order bookings and revenue and the successful transition of operations to the U.S. to provide lower manufacturing costs and operating expenses. If the Company is not able to generate positive cash flow from operations, the Company may need to raise additional capital. While, there is no guarantee that the Company can raise additional capital, the Company has a history of being able to successfully fund the business through the capital markets as needed.  If the Company is not able to raise additional capital, the Company may need to eliminate or suspend research, development and corporate.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year.  Areas where management used subjective judgment include, but are not limited to, the completion percentage applied to program installations, the recognition and measurement of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, estimated useful lives of intangible and capital assets, investment tax credits receivable, stock-based compensation costs, assessment of inventory obsolescence and the valuation and recognition of goodwill and impairment assessments.  Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.  Changes in estimates are recorded in the accounting period in which these changes are determined. 
 
d)
Revenue recognition
 
The Company generates revenues from three principal activities: program sales, sales of ancillary products and services and extended maintenance services. 
 
Revenues for program sales are recognized on a percentage of completion basis as theatres are installed.  Sales are recorded using the cost-to-cost method to measure the progress towards completion.  Under the cost-to-cost method of accounting, the Company recognizes sales and estimated profit as costs are incurred based on the proportion that the incurred costs bear to total estimated costs.  The cost estimation process is based on the professional knowledge and experience of the Company’s engineers and project managers.  Actual costs include only those costs that are directly attributable to contract performance with respect to the revenue recognized.  Pre-contract costs are expensed unless their costs can be directly associated with a specific anticipated contract and recoverability from that contract is reasonably assured.  When adjustments in estimated contract revenues or estimated costs at completion are required, changes from prior estimates are recognized in the current period for the inception to date effect of such changes.
 
When estimates of total costs to be incurred on a contract exceed total estimates of revenue to be earned, a provision for the entire loss on contract is recorded in the period in which the loss is determined.
 
Funds received from customers in advance of meeting the criteria for revenue recognition are recorded as deferred revenue until such time as the revenue is recognized.  Revenues recognized in advance of the criteria for invoicing to the customer are recorded as unbilled receivables where the collection of the receivable is reasonably assured.
 
Revenues from ancillary products and services are recognized where there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement and upon delivery or as the services are rendered, respectively.  Revenues from extended maintenance service agreements are recognized ratably over the life of the service agreement.  Revenues from both ancillary products and services and extended maintenance service agreements are based on pre-determined or determinable sales prices and are only recognized when the collection of the receivable is reasonably assured.
 
d)
Cash and cash equivalents
 
Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with original maturities of three months or less and consist of bank deposits and guaranteed investment certificates.  Cash and cash equivalents are carried at fair market value.  For cash equivalents, fair value approximates cost because these instruments are subject to an insignificant risk of a change in value.  The Company did not hold any cash equivalents at December 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
 
e)
Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts
 
The accounts receivable balance reflects all amounts invoiced and is presented net of any allowance for doubtful accounts.  The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable on a periodic basis by monitoring the financial condition of its customers, reviewing historical trends and assessing economic circumstances.  When collectability becomes uncertain, the Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts.  Due to the high level of creditworthiness of its client base, the Company has not recognized any allowance for doubtful accounts.
 
f)
Inventory
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is determined on a standard cost basis which is defined as the cost of materials plus an allocation of production labor and overhead.  Cost of materials is based on the invoiced value of goods.  Market is defined as replacement cost as per the definition in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 330-10.  The Company determines an inventory allowance based on an estimate of obsolete inventories.
 
g)
Property, plant, and equipment
 
The Company records all property, plant and equipment acquisitions at their original cost.  Once the asset is available for use, recorded amounts are amortized and depreciate over their estimated useful life using the straight-line method at the following rates:
 
 
Computer equipment
3 years
 
Office furnishings and equipment
5 years
 
Assembly & test equipment
2-5 years
 
Demonstration suite & tradeshow equipment
3-5 years
 
Leasehold improvements
Lesser of their useful life and the term of lease
 
h)
Goodwill and intangible assets
 
Goodwill
 
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over fair value of the identifiable net tangible assets and intangible assets purchased at the date of acquisition.  Goodwill is not amortized, but rather it is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that indicates that goodwill might be impaired.  The Company annually tests for goodwill impairment at November 30.
 
The impairment test for goodwill is a two-step process.  Step one consists of a comparison of the fair value of its reporting units against their carrying amount, including the goodwill.  If the carrying amount of the reporting unit is in excess of its fair value, step two requires the comparison of the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill against the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill.  Any excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is recorded as an impairment loss.
 
Patents
 
Patents are accounted for at cost.  Amortization is based on the estimated useful life, which is generally the life of the patent, using the straight-line method.  The average remaining life of the patents at the time of acquisition in May 2005 was 11 years.  The patents acquired in the NeuroArm Surgical Limited acquisition in February 2010 are amortized over the estimated useful lives, which range between 13-18 years.
 
Computer software
 
Computer software is accounted for at cost.  Amortization is based on the estimated useful life, which is generally three years, using the straight-line method.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
 
i)
Impairment of long lived and intangible assets
 
Management evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets and identifiable intangible assets with finite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.  To the extent the estimated undiscounted future net cash inflows attributable to the asset are less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized.  The amount of impairment loss to be recorded is the difference between the asset’s carrying value and the net discounted estimated future cash flows.
 
j)
Collaborative arrangements
 
The Company accounts for the equipment value that is over and above the cash received from its third party collaborative partner as an advance payment in accordance with ASC 730-20.  Once installation is complete the advance payment is amortized over the term of the agreement.  Management tests the collaborative arrangements for impairment on a regular basis.
 
k)
Research and development
 
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.  Costs related to the development of software are capitalized beginning when a product’s technological feasibility has been established and ending when the product is available for general release to the customer.  Software development costs are capitalized and amortized over the useful life of the technology. 
 
l)
Investment tax credits
 
The Company is entitled to non-refundable investment tax credits from both the federal and provincial governments in Canada and to refundable investment tax credits from the Province of Manitoba.  Investment tax credits are earned as a percentage of eligible current and capital research and development expenditures incurred in each taxation year.  Investment tax credits are recognized when realization of the tax credits is more likely than not. 
 
Non-refundable investment tax credits are included in the determination of the Company’s deferred tax assets.  The Company recognizes a corresponding valuation allowance against any deferred asset balance resulting in no impact to the consolidated financial statements.  Non-refundable investment tax credits are recognized either as an item on the statement of loss in the Company’s income tax provision or as a reduction in capital assets depending on where the original costs, which gave rise to the tax credits, are recorded. 
 
Refundable investment tax credits are included in accounts receivable until they are received.  Refundable investment tax credits are recognized either as an item on the statement of loss in the Company’s research and development expense or as a reduction in capital assets depending on where the original costs, which gave rise to the tax credits, are recorded. 
 
m)
Stock-based compensation
 
The Company measures compensation expense at the date of granting of stock options to employees and recognizes the expense based on their fair values determined in accordance with ASC 718.  The fair value of options is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  The fair value amount is amortized to earnings over the vesting period, with the related credit recorded as additional paid-in capital.  Amortization takes into consideration estimated forfeitures, determined on a historic basis, at the time of grant to determine the number of awards that will ultimately vest.  Upon exercise of these stock options, amounts previously credited to additional paid-in capital are reversed and credited to share capital.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
 
n)
Income taxes
 
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Under this method, deferred taxes are recognized based on the expected future tax consequences of differences between the carrying amount of balance sheet items and their corresponding tax basis, using the enacted income tax rates for the years in which the differences are expected to be realized or settled.  A valuation allowance is provided to the extent that it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.
 
The Company’s policy is to recognize interest related to income taxes in interest expense and interest income, and recognize penalties in administrative expenses.
 
o)
Foreign currency translation
 
All monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than each subsidiary’s functional currency are translated at the applicable period end reporting date exchange rates.  Non-monetary assets are translated at the exchange rates prevailing when the asset was acquired.  Revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period.  Exchange gains or losses on translation of foreign currencies transactions are included in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.
 
Translation adjustments occurring as a result of the consolidation of subsidiaries whose functional currency is not USD are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). 
 
p)
Derivative financial instruments
 
The Company recognizes an asset or liability representing the fair value of the embedded derivatives when it sells products to customers located in foreign countries and the contract currency is denominated in the functional currency of neither of the contracting parties.  The embedded derivative arises on initial execution of the contract and is active until the contract is closed with the fair value being recalculated throughout the life of the contract.  Valuation of the embedded derivative is derived using observable forward currency rates combined with estimated timing and magnitude of contractual cash flows pertaining to specific sales contracts.  Changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative are recognized in income during the period in which the changes occur.  The fair value of the embedded derivative is calculated using the credit adjusted discount rate because contracts can be active for two or more years. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no derivative financial instruments.

 3.      RECENTLY ADOPTED OR ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
On February 5, 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance (ASU 2013-02), which further revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements.  The guidance requires entities to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in the net income if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be classified in its entirety to net income.  For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, entities are required to cross-reference other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. This guidance was effective for the Company beginning after December 15, 2012.  The guidance affects presentation only and did not have an impact on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company.

4.
RESTRICTED CASH
 
For the year ended December 31, 2013, restricted cash consists of cash and equivalents minimum cash balance of $7,500 related to the Company’s long term debt covenant compliance (see note 21. Long Term Debt, net of discount).  For the year ended December 31, 2012, restricted cash consists of a short-term deposit of $1,920 that has been pledged as security to the Company’s bank for a letter of credit required for the purchase of certain system components.

11.    SHARE CAPITAL
 
a)
Authorized
 
The Company’s share capital consists of an unlimited number of common shares and an unlimited number of preferred shares.  As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no preferred shares outstanding. 
 
b)
Issued and outstanding
 
Pursuant to option exercises, during the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company issued 219,755 common shares to employees for cash consideration of $484.  In addition to the cash consideration, $209 was transferred from additional paid-in capital to share capital. 
 
Pursuant to a public offering, during the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company issued 5,750,000 common shares at a public offering price of $3.50 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $20,100. The difference between the gross proceeds and the amount disclosed in the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity is due to fees associated with the issuance.
 
Pursuant to option exercises, during the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company issued 1,086,102 common shares to employees for cash consideration of $2,420.  In addition to the cash consideration, $989 was transferred from additional paid-in capital to share capital.
 
c)
Stock-based compensation plan
 
On May 20, 2005, the Board of Directors approved a stock option plan (the “Plan”) for the employees, directors, officers and consultants of the Company and any of its subsidiaries, which govern all options granted under the Plan.  At the 2013 Annual Meeting on May 2, 2013, the shareholders reaffirmed the plan.  Under the Plan, options to purchase common shares of the Company may be granted by the Board of Directors.  The exercise price of the options granted is established by the Board of Directors based on the fair market value of the common shares, as of the date of the grant.  The maximum number of common shares, which may be issued pursuant to options granted under the Plan, is equal to 15% of the common shares of the Company outstanding at any time.
 
Options granted under the Plan generally vest over a four-year period and may be exercised in whole or in part as to any vested options prior to the expiry time as follows:  25% on or after the first anniversary of the grant date, increasing 6.25% per quarter thereafter until fully vested after four years.  Options generally expire six years after the date of the grant.  The vesting of options granted under the plan ceases upon the death or the termination of employment of the participant or the participant ceases to be a director.  The participant thereafter has 90 days to exercise any vested and unexpired options, failing which any unexercised options shall lapse.  The Board of Directors, at their discretion, may accelerate the vesting period of individual grants as deemed appropriate.
 
The Board of Directors may accelerate the vesting of all unvested options, in the event of certain change of control transactions, including without limitation a takeover bid, merger or other structured acquisition.  The Board may further force the exercise of any and all vested options, and/or may cancel or replace any unvested options in any manner the Board deems reasonable, in its unfettered discretion.  The Company can satisfy its obligation from the exercise of options by either issuing shares or repurchasing shares on the market.  To date the Company has chosen to issue shares and does not expect to repurchase shares from the market to satisfy expected exercises of stock options.

As of December 31, 2013, there was $3,126 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options.  This will be expensed over the vesting period, which on a weighted-average basis, results in a period of approximately 2.7 years.  The total fair value of stock options vested during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $1,841 and $1,614. The weighted average grant date fair value (CDN$) of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2012 was $1.92.
 
d)
Basic and diluted loss per share
 
When the Company is in a loss position, there are no adjustments to the weighted number of shares outstanding for the purposes of calculating diluted loss per share because to do so would be anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, 463,915 and 452,344 stock options and warrants could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future.  These options and warrants were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for the years presented.

b)
Deferred taxes (continued)
 
The Company has deductible Scientific Research and Experimental Development expenditures applicable to future years of approximately $47,443.  These expenditures have been included in the calculation of deferred taxes above and have no expiry date. 
 
The Company has unutilized federal and provincial scientific research and experimental development investment tax credits of approximately $11,100 and $8,500 respectively.  These credits expire in 2015 and beyond. These expenditures have been included in the calculation of deferred taxes above.
 
The Company has adopted the provisions in ASC 740 related to unrecognized tax benefits.  ASC 740 provides specific guidance on the recognition, de-recognition and measurement of income tax positions in financial statements, including the accrual of related interest and penalties recorded in interest expense.  First, the tax position is evaluated for recognition.  An income tax position is recognized when it is more likely than not that it will be sustained upon examination based on its technical merits.  If recognition is warranted the benefit is measured as the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  As of December 31, 2013 and 2012 the Company has no unrecognized tax benefits and has not accrued any amounts for interest or penalties related to unrecognized income tax benefits.
 
The Company files tax returns in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Japan, Germany, Singapore and the United States. With limited exception, we are no longer subject to income tax examinations by taxing authorities for taxable years before 2010 in the cast of Canada and the United States and before 2008 for other jurisdictions.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
The Company adheres to ASC 820 which defines fair value, establishes a framework, prescribes methods for measuring fair value and outlines additional disclosure requirements on the use of fair value measurements.  Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be recovered for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price in the principal or most advantageous market for an asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date).  Fair value is determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability utilizing a hierarchy of three different valuation techniques, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
 
Financial instruments measured at fair value should be classified into one of three levels that distinguish fair value measurements by the significance of the inputs used for valuation. 
 
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
 
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or corroborated by observable market data; and
 
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity.  Valuation techniques are primarily model-based.
 
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis have been segregated into the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine the fair value measurement date in the table below.  For cash, fair value approximates cost.
 
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of December 31, 2013 in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis are summarized below:

GUARANTEES
 
The Company periodically enters into agreements that include limited intellectual property indemnifications that are customary in the industry.  These guarantees generally require the Company to indemnify the other party for certain damages and costs incurred as a result of third party intellectual property claims arising from these transactions.  The nature of the intellectual property indemnification obligations prevent the Company from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount it could be required to pay to its customers and suppliers.  The Company has not made any indemnification payments under such agreements and no amount has been accrued in the accompanying consolidated financial statements with respect to these indemnification obligations. 

20.
RESTRUCTURING COSTS
 
In 2012, the Company announced its plan to move its operations to the U.S. in order to be closer to its customers and to have access to critical suppliers and personnel.  The Company expects to incur total costs of approximately $6.8 million related to this activity.  These costs comprised of approximately $1.1 million for one-time employee termination benefits, approximately $2.1 million for contract termination costs and approximately $3.6 million for other associated costs such as moving expenses.  Since the inception of the program, the Company has incurred a total of $1.1 million of one-time employee termination costs, $2.1 million of contract termination costs and $3.4 million of other associated costs.  Adjustments are primarily the reversal of prior period accruals for employee severance and retention.  The accruals were no longer necessary because the employees voluntarily terminated their employment before the retention and severance date. The following is a roll-forward of the accrued liability related to restructuring costs for the year:

LONG TERM DEBT, NET OF DISCOUNT
 
On September 16, 2013, the Company entered into several agreements pursuant to which the Deerfield Management Company, L.P. (“Deerfield”) agreed to provide the Company $25.0 million in funding, which occurred the same day. Pursuant to the terms of the Facility Agreement, the Company issued Deerfield promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million. The long-term debt is repayable over five years, with equal payments of the principal amount due on the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the date of the disbursement, except if IMRIS achieves certain revenue targets as measured at each anniversary date, upon which it can elect to defer each of the principal payments to subsequent anniversary dates to maturity on its fifth anniversary date. Deerfield may also elect at its option to defer principal payments due on the aforementioned anniversary periods.
 
The notes may be prepaid in full after the third anniversary at the approval of Deerfield and at the option of the Company with 20 days’ written notice to Deerfield under the Facility Agreement. Prepayment must be accompanied by a 4% prepayment fee of the principal then outstanding.  Deerfield has the right to have the long-term debt repaid at 104% of the principal amount then outstanding in the event the Company completes a major transaction, which includes, but is not limited to, a merger or sale of the Company. If a major transaction occurs prior to the third anniversary of the agreement, the Company will be required to pay all interest that would have been accrued and payable through the third anniversary date. The long-term debt is secured by the Company’s assets. 
 
The debt agreement contains covenants which are customary for similar credit agreements, including covenants related to financial reporting and notification, payment of indebtedness, taxes and other obligations; compliance with applicable laws; and limitations regarding additional liens, indebtedness, certain acquisitions, investments and dispositions of assets.  The debt agreement contains a covenant which requires written consent from Deerfield before declaring or paying any dividend or other distribution on its common shares.  Additionally, the Company must maintain cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, of at least $7.5 million measured at each quarter end.
 
The long-term debt requires interest at 9.0% per annum, payable quarterly. During 2013, the long-term debt effective interest rate was 9.44%. Interest accrued on each of the first five quarters is not paid but is added to the outstanding principal of the notes, resulting in PIK interest of $665 as of December 31, 2013. The Company at its option, subject to certain conditions, may elect to satisfy its interest obligations occurring on or after January 1, 2015 in the form of freely tradable common shares of the Company. 
 
The Company paid Deerfield a facility fee of $0.5 million and $1.4 million to other professionals involved in the completion of the Facility Agreement. These costs are capitalized and are being amortized over 5 years using the interest method.
 
In connection with the Facility Agreement, the Company issued Deerfield seven-year warrants (the “Deerfield Warrants”) to purchase 6,100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.94 per share. The exercise of the Deerfield Warrants can be satisfied through a reduction in the principal amount of the Company’s outstanding indebtedness to Deerfield, at the Company’s option. 
 
The Company recorded the promissory notes with an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million at its face value less a note discount of $4.8 million representing the fair value of the notes and its associated warrants. The note discount is amortized using the interest method. As of December 31, 2013 the unamortized note discount is $4.5 million, which will be amortized over 4.75 years.
 
The following assumptions were used in the calculation of the fair value of warrants granted during the year using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model:

 21. LONG TERM DEBT, NET OF DISCOUNT (continued)
 
The fair value of the long-term debt approximates the carrying amount included in the consolidated financial statements. Management estimated the fair value of the long-term debt using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs based on recent financing transactions and on the discounted estimated future cash payments to be made on such long-term debt. The discount rate estimated reflects Management’s judgment as to what the approximate current lending rates for notes or group of notes with similar maturities and credit quality would be if credit markets were operating efficiently and assigns a range of likelihoods to whether the notes will be outstanding through maturity or paid early.  Present value has been utilized to estimate the amounts required to be disclosed.
 
Interest and other expense includes interest expense, debt discount amortization, debt issuance cost amortization, and bank fees (net).  Interest and other expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 includes interest expense of $665, debt discount amortization of $340 and debt issuance cost amortization of $133.  The remainder is other net interest income/expense and banking fees.
