Micromem Technologies Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three and six months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020
(Expressed in United States dollars, unless otherwise noted)

1. Reporting entity and nature of business

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

The Company develops, based upon proprietary technology, customized sensor applications for companies (referred to as "Development Partners") operating internationally in various industry segments. The Company has not generated commercial revenues through April 30, 2021 and is devoting substantially all its efforts to securing commercial revenue opportunities.

2. Going concern

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

There are material uncertainties related to conditions and events that cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and ultimately on the appropriateness of the use of the accounting principles applicable to a going concern. During the six months ended April 30, 2021, the Company reported a net loss and comprehensive loss of $4,374,875 (2020 - $654,277) and negative cash flow from operations of $395,264 (2020 - $653,374). The Company's working capital deficiency as at April 30, 2021 was $7,313,366 (October 31, 2020 - $4,202,571).

The Company's success depends on the profitable commercialization of its proprietary sensor technology. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in the profitable commercialization of its technology. Based upon its current operating and financial plans, management of the Company believes that it will have sufficient access to financial resources to fund the Company's planned operations through fiscal 2021; however, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to secure additional financing and/or to profitably commercialize its technology. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

The COVID-19 pandemic creates additional risk for the Company if there is a prolonged industry slowdown in those sectors where the Company currently operates including the oil and gas sectors in particular. To date, the impact of the pandemic has resulted in the layoff of Company staff as of March 27, 2020. The Company has encountered delays in the commercial plans for its technology with its primary customers. It secured a government backed loan of $60,000 CDN ($48,015 USD) (October 31, 2020 - $40,000 CDN, $30,269 USD) which matures in December 2025 (Note 8) and received government wage subsidies of $73,976 CDN ($58,188 USD) (2020 - $nil) (Note 14(b)(i)).

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

3. Basis of presentation

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company's audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2020. The Company has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance and release by the Company's Board of Directors on June 17, 2021.



 3. Basis of presentation (continued)

(a) Basis of consolidation

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

The Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries include:

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

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

(iii)   Inactive subsidiaries   Domiciled in
    Memtech International Inc.   Bahamas
    Memtech International (USA) Inc., Pageant Technologies (USA) Inc.   United States
    Pageant Technologies Inc., Micromem Holdings (Barbados) Inc.   Barbados

 (b) Basis of measurement

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

(c) Functional and presentation currency



 

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

 

 

 

(d)

Use of estimates and judgments

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

(i)

Fair value of options and conversion features

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

(ii)

Useful lives and recoverability of long-lived assets

 

 

 

 

 

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

(d)

Use of estimates and judgments (continued)

 

 

 

 

(iii)

Income taxes

 

 

 

 

 

Income taxes and tax exposures recognized in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements reflect management's best estimate of the outcome based on facts known at the reporting date. When the Company anticipates a future income tax payment based on its estimates, it recognizes a liability. The difference between the expected amount and the final tax outcome has an impact on current and deferred taxes when the Company becomes aware of this difference.

 

 

 

 

 

When the Company incurs losses for income tax purposes, it assesses the probability of taxable income being available in the future, based on budgeted forecasts. These forecasts are adjusted for certain non-taxable income and expenses and specific rules on the use of unused credits and tax losses. When the forecasts indicate that sufficient future taxable income will be available to deduct the temporary differences, a deferred tax asset is recognized for all deductible temporary differences.

 

 

 

 

(iv)

Going concern assumption

 

 

 

 

 

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




4.

New and revised standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective

 

 

 

There were no pronouncements issued by the IASB or by IFRIC, of which we are aware that are mandatory for accounting commencing on or after November 1, 2020 which would have a significant impact on the Company.

For the three and six months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020, all stock options and conversion features were anti-dilutive and, therefore, are excluded from the calculation of diluted (loss) income per share.

 

 

13.

Income taxes

 

 

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

 

 

As at October 31, 2020, the Company has non-capital losses of approximately $31.1 million, $26.3 million in Canada and $4.8 million in other foreign jurisdictions, available to reduce future taxable income. Non-capital losses expire commencing in 2026. In addition, the Company has available capital loss carry forwards of approximately $1.3 million to reduce future taxable capital gains. Capital losses carry forward indefinitely.

 

 

As at April 30, 2021 and October 31, 2020, the Company assessed that it is not probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to use deferred income tax assets based on operating losses in prior years; therefore, there are no balances recognized in the unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of financial position for such assets.

(b)

Trade payables and other liabilities

 

 

 

At October 31, 2019, the Company reported $205,788 in trade payable and other liabilities, representing alleged outstanding wages and expenses payable to the former President of MAST, Mr. Steven Van Fleet. The alleged payables related to claims made by Mr. Van Fleet as amounts owing to him prior to his resignation as an officer and director of the Company on August 27th, 2018.




 

As described in Note 17(b) below, the Company has reversed this reserve in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020 based on the developments in this legal matter in 2020. The reasonable value of Mr. Van Fleet's claims against the Company as of April 30, 2021 and October 31, 2020 is $nil.

 

 

 

 

As at April 30, 2021 and October 31, 2020, the Company reports $167,215 in trade payables and other liabilities owing to a company whose major shareholder was a former director of the Company and who has also previously served as its Chief Technology Officer. This individual was elected as a director on February 19, 2014 through September 8, 2020. The balance reported relates to alleged services provided in 2015; there have been no invoices submitted by this related party after October 31, 2015.

 

 

 

16.

Key management compensation and related party transactions (continued)

 

 

 

(c)

Convertible debentures

 

 

 

 

In May 2019, the CEO of the Company provided for a short-term loan of $15,000 CDN ($11,450 USD). At October 31, 2019, $10,000 CDN ($7,582 USD) in loan principal was outstanding. In 2020, the remaining amount of loan principal was extinguished by participation of the CEO in the private placement which the Company completed at the time (Note 10(b)). The extinguishment of the debt for the shares received in the private placement resulted in an a loss on conversion of $14,000 CDN ($10,600 USD).

 

 

 

 

In January 2018, the CEO of the Company provided for a convertible debenture of $150,000 CDN ($114,086 USD). As at April 30, 2021, $10,001 CDN ($8,141 USD)(October 31, 2020 - $10,001 CDN, $7,509 USD) in loan principal remains outstanding.

 

 

 

17.

Contingencies

 

 

 

(a)

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

 

 

 

(b)

The Company has previously reported on:

 

 

 

 

(i)

The lawsuit filed by Mr. Steven Van Fleet against Micromem and MAST seeking payment of $214,574 plus interest relating to alleged remuneration and expense reimbursements due to him prior to his resignation as an officer and director of Micromem and MAST on August 17, 2018.

 

 

 

 

(ii)

The Company's response to the complaint whereby it denied the allegations in Mr. Van Fleet's claims and additionally its counterclaims again Mr. Van Fleet seeking damages of no less than 2.75 million and other remedies.

 

 

 

 

Counsel for the parties agreed that Mr. Van Fleet's deposition would proceed on July 31, 2020. The day before the deposition, Mr. Van Fleet's counsel advised the Company's counsel that if Mr. Van Fleet were to appear at the deposition, he would invoke his Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate himself with respect to the Company's counterclaims, and that rather than doing so, Mr. Van Fleet had chosen not to appear for his deposition and would never appear for his deposition in the future.

 

 

 

 

In light of this development, on September 25, 2020 the Company's counsel moved for default, asking the court to strike Mr. Van Fleet's claims and to enter a judgment in the Company's favor on its counterclaims. Mr. Van Fleet did not submit any opposition to the motion. Mr Van Fleet's counsel resigned in October 2020. The deadline for Mr Van Fleet to appeal the Company's motion was January 11, 2021; Mr Van Fleet did not appear nor was he represented by legal counsel in court on January 11th. Micromem's motion for dismissal is now uncontested and we are currently awaiting the court's decision on  potential damages that Micromem may be awarded against Mr Van Fleet (Note 21(e)).

 

 

 

18.

Financial risk management




(a)

Currency risk

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

As at April 30, 2021, balances that are denominated in CDN are as follows:


    CDN  
Cash $ 97,729  
Prepaid expenses and other receivables $ 36,614  
Trade payables and other liabilities $ 276,201  
Convertible debentures $ 2,138,083  
Derivative liabilities $ 4,377,700  

18.

Financial risk management

 

 

 

(a)

Currency risk (continued)

 

 

 

 

A 10% strengthening of the US dollar against the CDN would decrease accumulated deficit by $484,347 as at April 30, 2021 (October 31, 2020 - decrease accumulated deficit by $169,114). A 10% weakening of the USD against the CDN would have the opposite effect of the same magnitude.

 

 

 

(b)

Interest rate risk

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

(c)

Liquidity risk

 

 

 

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company's policy is to review liquidity resources and ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet financial obligations as they become due. Further, the Company's management is responsible for ensuring funds exist and are readily accessible to support business opportunities as they arise. With the exception of the long-term loan, all financial liabilities are due within 1 year as at April 30, 2021.

 

 

 

 

(i)

Trade payables and other liabilities




 

 

The following represents an analysis of the maturity of trade payables and other liabilities:


    As at
April 30,
    As at
October 31,
 
    2021     2020  
Less than 30 days past billing date $ 313,055   $ 252,413  
31 to 90 days past billing date   -     25,683  
Over 90 days past billing date   167,215     489,853  
  $ 480,270   $ 767,949  

 

 

As at April 30, 2021, trade payables include $167,215 (October 31, 2020 - $367,418) of invoices which the Company has disputed and/or are stale-dated. The Company does not anticipate that it will be required to discharge such amounts.

 

 

 

 

(ii)

Convertible debentures and derivative liabilities

 

 

 

 

 

The following represents an analysis of the maturity of the convertible debentures and derivative liabilities:


    As at April 30,     As at October 31,  
    2021     2020  
    Convertible debentures     Derivative liabilities     Convertible debentures     Derivative liabilities  
Less than three months $ 1,921,090   $ 1,220,374   $ 1,335,853   $ 149,827  
Three to six months   1,223,133     2,343,979     806,477     190,055  
Six to twelve months   138     295,833     939,188     193,680  
  $ 3,144,361   $ 3,860,186   $ 3,081,518   $ 533,562  

18.

Financial risk management (continued)

 

 

(d)

Credit risk




 

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company's cash, development costs receivable, and other receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying value of these financial assets, which amounted to $197,686 as at April 30, 2021 (October 31, 2020 - $213,695). The Company reduces its credit risk by assessing the credit quality of counterparties, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors.

 

 

 

 

(i)

Cash

 

 

 

 

 

The Company held cash of $178,592 at April 30, 2021 (October 31, 2020 - $191,479). The cash is held with central banks and financial institution counterparties that are highly rated. The Company has assessed no significant change in credit risk, which was not recognized in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.


19.

Fair value hierarchy

 

 

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

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

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

 

 

The Company's policy for determining when transfers between levels of fair value hierarchy occur is based on the date of the event or changes in circumstances that caused the transfer. During the three and six months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020, there were no transfers between levels.

 

 

20.

Capital risk management

 

 

The Company's objectives when managing capital are to (i) maintain its ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, (ii) ensure it has sufficient cash resources to further develop and market its technologies and (iii) maintain its ongoing operations. The Company defines its capital as its net assets, i.e. total assets less total liabilities. In order to secure the additional capital necessary to pursue these objectives, the Company may attempt to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debentures or by securing strategic partners. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements and there has been no change with respect to the overall capital risk management strategy during the six months ended April 30, 2021.

 

 

21.

Subsequent events

 

 

Subsequent to April 30, 2021:

 

 

(a)

The Company repaid $52,000 USD of convertible debentures. It also converted $50,000 CDN of convertible debentures through the issuance of 625,000 common shares.




(b)

The Company repaid $25,000 USD of a short term loan.

 

 

(c)

The Company extended convertible debentures for six (6) months, that were within 3 months of maturity date at April 30, 2021.

 

 

(d)

The Company secured $99,600 USD in convertible debentures with a 12 month term and conversion features which become effective six months after initiation date.

 

 

(e)

On June 3, 2021, the Company attended a virtual hearing in the New York State courts with respect to its claim for damages relating to the litigation that it had with Mr Van Fleet. The Company is  awaiting the court's decision  regarding  its  damages  award.

INTRODUCTION

The following sets out the Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") of the financial position and result of operations for the three months ending April 30, 2021, of Micromem Technologies Inc. (the "Company", "Micromem" or "we"). The MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the fiscal years ending October 31, 2020, which are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Additional information regarding the Company is available on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com.

The Company's shares are traded on the OTCQB under the symbol MMTIF and on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") under the symbol MRM. In November 2007, the Company incorporated Micromem Applied Sensor Technologies Inc. ("MAST") for the purpose of moving forward with the planned commercialization of its technology. 

Certain information provided by the Company in this MD&A and in other documents publicly filed throughout the year that are not recitation of historical facts may constitute forward-looking statements. The words "may", "would", "could", "will", "likely", "estimate", "believe", "expect", "forecast" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

Readers are cautioned that such statements are only predictions and the actual events or results may differ materially. In evaluating such forward-looking statements, readers should specifically consider the various factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements.


FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This MD&A contains forward-looking statements and forward looking information within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation ("forward looking statements"). Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions, potentials, future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as "believes", "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", or "intends" or stating that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken or achieved) are not statements of historical fact, but are "forward-looking statements". Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company, or developments in the Company's business or in its industry, to differ materially from the anticipated results, performance, achievements, or developments expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include disclosure regarding possible events, conditions or results of operations that are based on assumptions about future conditions, courses of action and consequences. Forward-looking statements may also include, without limitation, any statement relating to future events, conditions, or circumstances. The Company cautions you not to place undue reliance upon any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, the successful commercialization of our technology, comments about potential future revenues, joint development agreements and expectations of signed contracts with customers, etc. A number of inherent risks, uncertainties and factors affect the operations, performance and results of the Company and its business, and could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations of estimated or anticipated events or results. Some of these risks and uncertainties include the risk of not securing required capital in future, the risks of not successfully concluding agreements with potential partners on a timely basis and the risks associated with commercializing and bringing to market our technology. These risks are affected by certain factors that are beyond the Company's control: the existence of present and possible future government regulation, competition that exists in the Company's business, uncertainty of revenues, markets and profitability, as well as those other factors discussed in this MD&A report. This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of the Company's forward-looking statements and reference should also be made to the Company's Annual Information Form (prepared and filed in the form of a Form 20-F Annual Report pursuant to The Securities Exchange Act of 1934) for a description of risk factors.

Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements that are incorporated by reference herein, except in accordance with applicable securities law.

MICROMEM TECHNOLOGIES INC.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2021

PREPARED AS OF JUNE 17, 2021

 

1. OVERVIEW

Micromem is a company that develops customized, proprietary sensor-based solutions for large multinational corporations. Previously it  operated also through its wholly- owned subsidiary, Micromem Applied Sensor Technologies ("MAST").  Until August 2018, MAST was traditionally responsible for the development of market opportunities, maintaining customer relationships and the project management of the independent engineering subcontractors that it engaged once a client project was initiated. MAST  has been inactive  since  October 2018. All such  activity  is  now conducted  directly  in Micromem.    Micromem and MAST are referred to interchangeably as "the Company" throughout this report.

In 2021, the Company  has had positive new developments in its business initiatives.  It also  has experienced client driven delays due to the Covid - 19 pandemics in terms of its commercialization strategies for the technology applications that it continued to pursue.  It continued to deal within very tight working capital constraints and was  successful in raising additional capital in 2021  through to the date of this report. 

Our litigation with Steve Van Fleet, who resigned as an officer and director of the Company on August 17, 2018, was  resolved in the Company's favor  in Q2  when the courts  finally  dismissed  Mr Van Fleet's  claims. Mr Van Fleet had not attended any scheduled discoveries and had not appeared at scheduled court dates.  We  presented  our  case  for  damages  claims  to the court  on June  3rd    and  are  now  awaiting  the court's  decision  on the  amount of damages  to  be  awarded  to the Company.

Financing:

In Q2 2021 the Company secured $434,472 of financing from private placements (2020: $43,593). Convertible debentures totaling  $97,901 were converted into  common shares  (2020: $137,218).

The Company's convertible debt structure is complex with 3 broad categories of such debt: (i) $CDN denominated debt with fixed conversion prices; (ii) $US denominated debt with fixed conversion prices, and (iii) $US denominated debt with variable conversion prices.  The term of the debt in each instance is typically between 4 months and 12 months.  In 2021 the Company has repaid certain convertible loans at maturity when due as requested by the debenture holder or converted the debenture into common shares at the request of the debenture holder or extended the term of the debenture through negotiations with the debenture holder - in this latter case, certain terms of the loan - interest rate and/or conversion price - have, in some instances, been adjusted as part of the extension.

Under IFRS reporting, such loans require quarterly remeasurements.  The application of the remeasurement methodology is very specific. This is more fully discussed in Section 2; in summary, there are several non-cash related income and expense charges that arise from such remeasurements.  We recorded the following non-cash charges  in the periods ending April      30, 2021 and 2020, none of which impact the Company's cash flows:


    2021     2020     Change  
Accretion expense $ 297,471   $ 295,490   $ 1,981  
Loss on conversion of convertible debentures   10,911     21,417     (10,506 )
Loss on revaluation of derivative liability   2,735,044     (1,434,549 )   4,169,593  
Gain on extinguishment of convertible debentures   44,103     (110,102 )   154,205  
Net expense $ 3,087,529   $ (1,227,744 ) $ 4,315,273

Chevron continues to have interest in our interwell tracer technology. We anticipate that there will be continued opportunity to engage with Chevron in 2021 with the potential for Micromem to generate commercial sales to Chevron.

(b) Romgaz: 

Our discussions with Romgaz have been continuous on a weekly basis throughout Q2 2021  and to date.  The key go-forward points in these discussions, at the current date are as follows:

(i) We are anticipating an initial purchase order for several interwell tracer devices, similar to the technology that Chevron deployed in the California field trials referenced above. Romgaz  has confirmed the terms of these initial purchase orders.

(ii) Micromem will be commissioned to conduct/lead a development program to enhance and expand the analytics capabilities of the existing technology with the end goal of delivering a comprehensive analytics solution to Romgaz for its specific performance requirements in its gas wells.

(iii) Micromem and Romgaz are pursuing discussions whereby the technology application developed in (ii) above will be manufactured on a commercial scale in Romania.  It is expected that the technology that will be manufactured in Romania will be suitable for both oil and gas well applications. 

(iv) The working relationship between Micromem and Romgaz is expected to expand to include the development of other technology applications where Micromem has been active over the past five years. A joint venture agreement between Micromem and Romgaz is  in negotiation and we expect to execute the agreement in 2021.


(v) We expect to finalize these working arrangements and move forward with these initiatives in 2021.  It is expected that Romgaz will provide the initial capital to launch this expanded working relationship.

(c) Repsol S.A. ("Repsol") 

Once we  have launched  the  captive  engineering / product development  team  in Toronto  as  referenced  below,  we intend to resume our dialogue  with Repsol.

Micromem go forward plans for balance  of 2021:

In anticipation of these developments with Romgaz , Micromem is planning for its business activity to include the following components: 

(i) Continuance of its working relationship with the developer of the ARTRA 171 technology which Chevron has successfully tested in on site testing of operating oil wells and for which we anticipate Romgaz purchase orders in 2021. 

(ii) We have developed  our plans to establish a captive, engineering / product development team based in Toronto.  In this context, we announced a working relationship with a Toronto-based engineering/manufacturing group ("Group") in the aftermath of the departure of Steve Van Fleet in August 2018.  At that time, this Group provided technical guidance and assistance to Micromem as we navigated our discussions with Chevron, Repsol and Romgaz.  As our plans to establish this Toronto- based resource develop further, we expect this Group to have a significant role as a strategic partner to Micromem.

(iii) As the Romgaz program is launched, we plan to add additional senior management to the Micromem team  in  the project management ,engineering  and financial reporting areas of discipline .We will also look to recruit  additional corporate  directors to our Board.

COVID-19:

The impact to date on the Company of the COVID-19 pandemic is discussed below; we believe that we have taken the appropriate steps to maintain our business and to protect our 5 person staff to ensure their wellbeing:

(a) We closed the office in mid-March 2020, and it remains closed as of the date of this report.  Our staff is working remotely from their homes.

(b) We have utilized the Canada Employment Wage Subsidy("CEWS") program from the Canadian Federal Government to support our payroll obligations in 2020 and to date in  2021- the program extends until September  2021. Additionally, we have utilized the Canada Emergency Business Account ("CEBA") loan program  and have secured a $40,000 CDN term loan which is as described in our consolidated financial statements.  An additional $20,000 of CEBA term loan financing under this program was secured in December 2020.Finally, we have  received  approximately $21,000 in rental support payments  since September 2020 under the provisions of the Canada Emergency Rent Subsidy("CERS") program.


We believe that we are in full compliance with the terms of these government subsidies Furthermore, we have considered the recent reporting guidelines  for such  government assistance  and  we  believe that we  have  complied  in all material respects  with  the  prescribed accounting  and reporting guidelines.

(c) We are in regular phone and electronic contact with our key service providers, subcontractors, and customers.

(d) All business-related travel was suspended as of March 2020.

(e) While our progress in our  initiatives  with Chevron , Romgaz  and Repsol  have  been  delayed , we  anticipate that these will  all be pursued  in fiscal 2021.

There remains substantial uncertainty as to the duration of the pandemic.  If the pandemic continues for an extended period of time in 2021, there may be  additional repercussions to the Company's ongoing business which could be significant.

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2021

PREPARED AS OF JUNE 17, 2021

 

2.  COMMENTARY ON CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES:

This section of the report is intended to provide readers with additional information as to the nature of the reporting requirements, procedures, and impact of the convertible debt financings    that the Company has completed. The objective is to facilitate the reader's understanding of this complex aspect of the Company's financial statements.

Q2  overview:

The  Company  reports  a  non-cash  expense  of $2,735,044 relating to the  revaluation  of derivatives  in  Q2  2021 ( a non cash  gain  $1,434,549  relating to the  revaluation  of derivatives in Q2  2020). The  significant  swing  in the quarterly non-cash  expense in Q2  is  attributable to  the  volatility of the  Company's  share  price  during the  quarter ended  April 30, 2021. The  Company's  closing  share  price  at  October 31, 2020,  was $0.03  per share ; it  was $0.05  per share  at January  31 , 2021, the  quarter end  date  when the  derivative  liability  was  last remeasured  under IFRS  guidelines. The  Company's  share  price  rose  to  $0.19  during  Q2  and  closed  at $0.15 per share  on April 30, 2021. This  increased  volatility  in share  price  significantly  impacts  the periodic Black Scholes  and  binomial  measurements  of the  derivative  liabilities - at October  31 , 2020 the  derivative  liability  was  reported  as  $533,562; at  January  31, 2021 it  was reported  as  $1,254,250; at  April 30, 2021, it is  $3,860,186. We  believe  that it is  important  to recognize  that  the revaluation  of derivative  liabilities  on a  quarterly  basis  , as  reported  in accordance  with IFRS,  results  in a  non-cash  expense or  income  amount; the  derivative  liability that is  reported  at each quarter end is  not  a cash obligation of the Company  to  be  discharged  in future  periods.

(1) Overview: convertible debenture reporting

(a) We are required under IFRS reporting standards to measure the components of our convertible debt including the debt, the derivative liability, and the equity component of the face value of the debt, as appropriate, upon execution of the loan agreement with the investor.

(b) The measurement methodology that we employ is in accordance with prescribed guidelines under IFRS and International Accounting Guidelines. This methodology is either a Black Scholes pricing model or a binomial distribution measurement model, depending on which model is more suitable in each case. That determination is based on a subjective assessment by the Company.


(c) When we secure a convertible debenture from an investor, the terms which are finalized through negotiation with the investor will vary on a case-by-case basis in terms of the following aspects:

(i) Term (typically 2 months to 12 months).

(ii) Interest rate (typically 1 to 2% per month but, in some cases, between 5% - 10% per annum).

(iii) Conversion price (which may be fixed at initiation date or fixed after 6 months based on a formulaic calculation, denominated in Canadian dollars or U.S. Dollars, the latter being the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries).

(iv) The option for the Company to prepay the loan during the entire term of the loan or within an initial period of the term of the loan (typically up to 6 months).

(d) At maturity date of the debenture, the debenture holder may agree to extend the term of the loan for an additional period of time, either on the same basic terms as already exist or on renegotiated terms.

(2) Accounting measurements and periodic reporting of convertible debentures:

(a) To the extent that there is a derivative liability that arises in the initial measurement (1(a) above), we are required to revalue the derivative liability at each quarter end using prescribed Black Scholes or binomial methodology. Then, on a quarterly basis, we are required to report this gain or loss on the revaluation in our quarterly consolidated statement of income.

(b) To the extent that the face value of the loan - which is due at the maturity date - is greater than the amount that is assigned to the loan component of the total amount at inception of the loan (1(a) above), then this difference must be accreted over the term of the loan.  Typically, the loan term is from 2 months to 12 months.  Thus, over the term of the loan, we are required to report this accretion amount as an expense in our quarterly consolidated statement of income.

(c) To the extent that a loan is converted into common shares by the debenture holder, we will close out the loan at that point, record remaining accretion expense up to the date of conversion, remeasure the derivative liability to nil and calculate a net gain or loss on conversion of the loan.  The net gain or loss is reported in our consolidated statement of income.

(3) Impact on financial reporting:

The realities and complexities of this prescribed accounting treatment gives rise to complicated disclosures in our financial statements and footnotes:

(a) We report substantial accretion expense in our audited financial statements.


(b) Over time, barring significant volatility in the share price, we generally report a gain on the settlement of the derivative liabilities. However, the quarterly revaluations of the derivative liabilities result in significant interim fluctuations. 

(c) The calculated effective interest rate on debt can be substantial. To illustrate, (for example) if the reported value of the debt is a small fraction of the face value at inception and it must be accreted to face value over the term (for example 2 months) then the effective rate of interest will be substantial representing the rate that would be required to step up the reported value to the face value in the short period of the term of the loan.

The actual interest expense on our convertible debentures which is interest paid to the debenture holders, is at a coupon rate ranging between 1% and 2% per month. The effective rate referenced above is an accounting measurement metric, not a payable obligation.

It is important , when reviewing our unaudited interim  condensed consolidated financial statements, to bear in mind the following:

a) Accretion expense is a non- cash item.

b) Gain or loss on revaluation of derivatives in a non -cash item.

c) Gain or loss on extinguishment of debentures  is a non -cash item.

d) Gain or loss on conversion of debentures to common shares is a non -cash item.

(4) Additional Comments:

The Company notes the following:

a) We have had to resort to convertible debentures financing as a primary means of securing financing over the past several years in order to continue our operations.

b) The use of convertible debentures has served to increase our outstanding number of shares over the past few years.

c) We expect that we will deemphasize this source  of financing  in future  and  that the Company  will  resume  more  conventional private  placement financings in future as it pursues  its  current  business opportunities.

3.  PROJECT UPDATES:

Since the resignation of Mr. Van Fleet in August 2018, the Company has worked diligently to establish a renewed dialogue with its active strategic partners.  Its management has engaged with Chevron and Repsol as well as with its engineering and design subcontractors.  It has forged a new business relationship with Romgaz, based in Romania and has engaged with additional engineering manufacturing and marketing resources to provide it with specialized expertise.  The Company's CEO and CFO, under the guidance of the active board members, have assumed these responsibilities.

Update of Product Development Activity at April 30, 2021

The current status of our active development projects is as reported below:

Chevron: Refer to the Chevron commentary provided in the Overview section on page 6 of this MD&A document.

Repsol: We have previously reported on our initial activity with this Spanish energy conglomerate in our 2019 report. We intend to resume our dialogue in 2021.

Romgaz: Romgaz is the state-controlled gas company in Romania.  We initiated a dialogue with the senior management team at Romgaz in May 2019.  The opportunity developed as a result of the progress that we had experienced with our Chevron initiative which, by that point, had advanced to the onsite pilot program referenced above. We continued our initial discussions with Romgaz thereafter and, in October 2019, we announced that the Company had executed a letter of intent ("LOI") with Romgaz which afforded the Company the opportunity to sell the ARTRA technology units to Romgaz and to develop a robust analytics solution for the technology.

For the developments with Romgaz in Q1 2021, refer to the Romgaz commentary provided in the Overview section on pages 6-7 of this MD&A document.

Other Developments:

We have previously reported that the Company is engaged in dialogue with an established Toronto-based private company that has engineering and manufacturing capabilities and commercial revenues . As outlined in the Overview section of this MD&A document on page 7  of this  MD&A document under the caption of Micromem go forward  plans for balance of 2021, we are anticipating that a formal working arrangement will be negotiated with this Toronto-based group in 2021.

Commentary:

 

1.

The Company's working capital deficiency is $7,214,669 at April 30, 2021 (at October 31,2020: deficiency of $4,202,571).  The increase in the working capital deficiency in Q2 2021 is explained by the increase in the derivative liabilities, which are a non- cash obligation as outlined in Section 2 of this report. During the period ending April 30, 2021, derivative liabilities increased by $3,326,624 to $3,860,186 from the October 31, 2020, balance of $533,562. Additionally, the Company continues to report a total of $167,215  ( October 31, 2020: $367,418) of stale dated / disputed  accounts payable balances which it does not anticipate that it will be required to discharge.

If these balances  are omitted from the working capital measurement, the Company's working capital deficiency is $3,208,268 at April 30, 2021 (at October 31, 2020: working capital deficiency of $3,301,591).  Virtually all of this deficiency is comprised of the convertible debentures which are reported as current liabilities. In practice, the Company has to date been successful in extending or converting the convertible debentures as these debentures mature.

 

 

 

 

2.

In 2019 the Company evaluated its patent portfolio and its go forward strategy for its intellectual property portfolio. It decided that it would suspend its provisional patent filings in jurisdictions outside the United States where it has been issued several patents.

For financial reporting purposes, the Company recorded an impairment reserve of $223,143 in 2019 and it reflects an amortized value of $7,877 as its patent assets at April 30, 2021. The Company believes that its patents remain as a valuable asset to be exploited in future through the pursuit of licensing agreements with potential strategic partners.

     

 

3.

Trade payables  and  other liabilities  total  $480,270 (Oct 31: $767,949) consisting  of  accounts  payable  of $15,135 ( Oct 31: $65,457 ) , accrued  liabilities  of $121,934  ( Oct  31:  $132,640),  non-convertible  loans  of $92,024 ( Oct 31: $71,981),

wages  and  source  deductions  payable  of $ 83,962  (Oct 31: $56,128)  and  stale-dated  or  disputed  payables  of $167,215  ( Oct 31:  $441,743).

 

 

 

 

4.

 

In Q2 2021 the Company secured $434,472 of financing from private placements (2020: $43,593) and convertible debentures totaling  $97,901 were converted into common shares (2020: $137,216).




 

5.

The balance reported as bridge loans at April 30, 2021, is $3,045,664 (at October 31,2020: $3,081,518) and the related derivative liability balance is $3,860,186 (at October 31,2020: $533,562). The Company reports accretion expense on these debentures of $297,471 (2020: $295,490), a loss on the conversion of bridge loans to share capital of $10,911 (2020:  $21,417), a loss on the revaluation of the underlying derivative liabilities of $2,735,044 (2020: gain of $1,434,549) and a loss on extinguishment of convertible debentures of $44,103 (2020: gain of $110,102). Management generally employs a Black Scholes valuation model to remeasure the derivative liabilities at  each quarter end; however, for certain of the loan transactions contracted for, it uses a binomial measurement model.

Management acknowledges that the cost of financing to the Company is significant; interest on the bridge loans is substantial. In Q2 2021 we reported $146,254 of interest expense (2020: $113,739).

Discussion of Operating Results

Q2 2021 Compared to Q2 2020.

1. Administration costs were $48,436 in 2021 versus $32,414 in 2020.  These costs include rent and occupancy costs of $477 (2020: $9,539, the Company reported sublet income for a portion of its office space in 2021 and 2020); office insurance costs of $nil (2020: $978; the Company did not renew its D&O insurance coverage in 2021 and 2020), investor relations, listings, filing  and  other fees of $30,997 (2020: $18,405), other general and administrative expenses of $16,963 (2020: $3,492).


2. The Company was successful  in eliminating  a total  of $293,767  of  stale - dated  and  disputed  accounts  payable  balances  in Q2  for  payment  of $38,000; accordingly, it reports  a recovery of $255,767 on the  settlement  of these  balances  in Q2. Since  October  2020, the Company  has  eliminated  a total of  $473,000 of stale-dated and  disputed  accounts  payable  for  payment  of $38,000.  At  April 30, 2021, it continues  to report  a stale-dated  and  disputed  accounts  payable  balance  of $167,215  which it  expects  to  eliminate  from its  accounts  payable  balance  reported  before  October 31, 2021  for  nominal ,if  any,  consideration .

3. Professional and other fees and salaries costs were $119,663 in 2021 versus $91,782 in 2020. The components of these total costs include legal and audit related expenses of $38,461 (2020: $28,797), 3rd party consulting fees of $30,380 (2020: $22,875), staff salaries and benefits of $50,822 (2020: $40,110).

4. The CFO has received compensation  of $7,149  in 2021 ( 2020: nil). The CEO of the Company has received $26,590  in 2021 which amount is reported in staff salaries and benefits; he received $9,124 in 2020. 

5. Prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in January 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with a New York- based advisory group ("Advisor") whereby the Advisor would assist the Company in securing mid to long term institutional financing from different US -based financial groups.  The Company paid the Advisor a fee of $100,000 in January 2020 representing all fees and expenses due under the agreement.

The project was to extend for 6-9 months and was timed to coincide with the developments that we anticipated to occur with Romgaz by September 2020.With the advent of COVID-19 in March 2020, the Romgaz project was delayed, and we were unsuccessful in securing any institutional financing through the Advisor during the period of their mandate.  The Company reported the $100,000 fee as part of the total 3rd party consulting fees of $114,925 incurred in 2020.

6. In November 2020, the Company granted 6.5 million common stock options to directors, officers, employees and to one external consultant; the related expense of $297,726 was calculated using the Black Scholes option-pricing model. In Q2 2021, no stock options grants were awarded.

7. Travel and entertainment expenses were $2,531 in Q2 2021 ($8,294 in Q2 2020). Post March 2020, only minimal corporate travel expenses have  been incurred

8. Interest expense was $146,254 in Q2 2021 versus $113,739 in Q2 2020This represents the actual interest expense obligations incurred by the Company based on the stated interest rates on the convertible debenture notes.

9. Amortization expense was $8,911 in Q2 2021 consisting of $2,000 relating to patents and $6,911 relating to Capital Assets (Q2 2020: $9,049) consisting of $2,123 relating to patents and $6,926 relating to Capital Assets). 

10. The  Company  reports  a  non-cash  expense  of $2,735,044 relating to the  revaluation  of derivatives  in  Q2  2021 ( a non cash  gain  $1,434,549  relating to the  revaluation  of derivatives in Q2  2020). The  significant  swing  in the quarterly non-cash  expense in Q2  is  attributable to  the  volatility of the  Company's  share  price  during the  quarter ended  April 30, 2021. The  Company's  closing  share  price  at  October 31, 2020,  was $0.03  per share ; it  was $0.05  per share  at January  31 , 2021, the  quarter end  date  when the  derivative  liability  was  last remeasured  under IFRS  guidelines. The  Company's  share  price  rose  to  $0.19  during  Q2  and  closed  at $0.15 per share  on April 30, 2021. This  increased  volatility  in share  price  significantly  impacts  the periodic Black Scholes  and  binomial  measurements  of the  derivative  liabilities - at October  31 , 2020 the  derivative  liability  was  reported  as  $533,562; at  January  31, 2021 it  was reported  as  $1,254, 250; at  April 30, 2021, it is  $3,860,186. We  believe  that it is  important  to recognize  that  the revaluation  of derivative  liabilities  on a  quarterly  basis  , as  reported  in accordance  with IFRS,  results  in a  non-cash  expense or  income  amount; the  derivative  liability that is  reported  at each quarter end is  not  a cash obligation of the Company  to  be  discharged  in future  periods.

11. The gain on foreign exchange reported in Q2 2021 was $148,863 versus a gain of $127,280 in Q2 2020.  This included the exchange adjustment relating to the translation of $CDN denominated transactions during the year and to Canadian denominated assets and liabilities at fiscal quarter end.  It also included the foreign exchange relating to the initiation, renewal, conversion, and repayment of convertible debentures transactions during the period.  The Company reports its financial statements in $USD which is its functional currency. The  $CDN  appreciated  relative to the $USD  between October 31, 2020, and April 30, 2021.

5.  RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

There are a number of risks which may individually or in the aggregate affect the long-term commercial success of the Company, both known and unknown. An investment in the Company should be considered speculative due to the nature of the Company's activities and its current stage of development.

Stage of Development of Technology:

The Company has made strides in advancing its technology and in developing a product portfolio and in engaging customers in joint development projects. There remains the risk that the Company must successfully complete development work on these products to have available commercially viable products which can be licensed or sold.

Customers' Willingness to Purchase:

We have entered into joint development agreements whereby our prototype products have been subjected to rigorous testing by our partners. We expect to be successful in completing remaining development work on our product portfolio. If we are successful in doing so, our partners will then have to decide the extent to which they will adopt our technology for future use for their applications. The future revenue streams for the Company are dependent upon the rate of adoption by our customers and their willingness to do so.

Patent Portfolio:

The Company has spent time and effort and incurred significant costs with respect to the maintenance and development of our intellectual property portfolio. In 2019, we  decided to abandon certain provisional patent filings in international jurisdictions which we  believe does not impact on the core patent technology that the Company maintains.  Given the nature of IP development, the Company is subject to continuing risks that our patents could be successfully challenged and that our patent pending files may not ultimately be granted full patent status. While we continue to make efforts to broaden our IP claims, this is an ongoing process and requires continued effort and vigilance. The Company does not have extensive in-house resources so as to manage its IP portfolio in this environment and has traditionally relied heavily on its patent attorneys for these services.


Financing:

The Company has successfully raised funding over the past several years to continue to support its development initiatives and fund the Company's corporate structure and overheads. The Company must continue to source financing in order to continue to support its business initiatives.

Competitors:

The Company is subject to competition from other entities that may have greater financial resources and more in-house technical expertise.

Management Structure:

The Company is highly dependent on the services of a small number of senior management team members. If one of these individuals were unavailable, the Company could encounter a difficult transition process.

  Lawsuit:

The Company, since  2018, has  been  engaged in a lawsuit with Mr. Steven Van Fleet who, until his resignation  on August 17, 2018, served as a director of the Company and as the President of the Company's wholly - owned subsidiary, MAST. This  matter  has  now  been decided  in the  courts  and  Mr Van Fleet's  claims  have  been dismissed . The  Company is  awaiting the court ruling  on damages  to be  awarded to the Company. There is  no certainty of collection  of any  such funds  once  the Company  has  been awarded such damages.

Foreign Currency Exposure:

The Company expects to sell its products and license technologies in the United States, in Canada and abroad. It has raised financing in both $CDN and $USD. The Company has not hedged its foreign currency exposure.  Foreign currency fluctuations present an ongoing risk to the business.

COVID-19 Pandemic:

The impact on the Company of the COVID-19 pandemic during the 2020 fiscal year and in the  6 months  ending April 30, 2021, has been outlined earlier in this report, including the steps that management has taken in an attempt to maintain our operations.  There remains substantial uncertainty as to the duration of the pandemic.  If the pandemic continues for an extended period of time in 2021, there may be repercussions to the Company's ongoing business which could be significant.

6.  GOING CONCERN

The 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.

There are material uncertainties related to conditions and events that cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period in future.  During the three months ended April 30, 2021, the Company reported a net loss and comprehensive loss of $3,055,877 (2020: $1,071,746) and negative cash flow from operations of $321,413 (2020: $166,230).  The Company's working capital deficiency as at April 31, 2021, is $7,214,669 (October 31,2020 - $4,202,571).

The Company's future success depends on the profitable commercialization of its proprietary sensor technology. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in the profitable commercialization of its technology. Based upon its current operating and financial plans, management of the Company believes that it will have sufficient access to financial resources to fund the Company's planned operations through fiscal 2021 and beyond; however, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to secure additional financing and/or to profitably commercialize its technology. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

The COVID 19 pandemic has had a significant impact of the Company's operations through April 30, 2021, as discussed in the body of this MD&A document.  There remains considerable uncertainty at this date as to the duration of the pandemic.  If the pandemic continues for an extended period of time in 2021, there may be repercussions to the Company's ongoing business which could be significant.

If the "going concern" assumption was 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; in such cases, these adjustments would be material.

7.  OTHER MATTERS

(a)  Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting policies the Company believes are critical to the financial reporting process include foreign currency translation, financial instruments, compound and hybrid financial instruments, derivative liabilities, the conversion features of the bridge loans, patents, impairment of long-lived  assets, patents, deferred development costs, revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, and income taxes.  These critical accounting policies are set forth in Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements as of October 31, 2020, and as updated in Note 4 to our unaudited  condensed  consolidated financial statements  as of April 30,2021.

We believe that we are in full compliance with the terms of  the  government subsidies that the  company  has  received  as outlined on page 8 of this MD&A document Furthermore, we have  considered the recent reporting guidelines  for such  government assistance  and  we  believe that we  have  complied  in all material respects  with  the  prescribed accounting  and reporting guidelines.

(b)

Legal matters: lawsuit vs Steven Van Fleet 

The Company has previously reported on:

(i) The lawsuit filed by Mr. Van Fleet against Micromem and MAST seeking payment of $214,574 plus interest relating to alleged remuneration and expense reimbursements due to him prior to his resignation as an officer and director of Micromem and MAST on August 17, 2018.

(ii) The Company's response to the complaint whereby it denied the allegations in Mr. Van Fleet's claims and additionally its counterclaims against Mr. Van Fleet seeking damages of no less than $2.75 million and other remedies.

Counsel for the parties agreed that Mr. Van Fleet's deposition would proceed on July 31, 2020. The day before the deposition, Mr. Van Fleet's counsel advised the Company's counsel that if Mr. Van Fleet were to appear at the deposition, he would invoke his Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate himself with respect to the Company's counterclaims, and that rather than doing so, Mr. Van Fleet had chosen not to appear for his deposition and would never appear for his deposition in the future.

In light of this development, on September 25, 2020, the Company's counsel moved for default, asking the court to strike Mr. Van Fleet's claims and to enter a judgment in the Company's favor on its counterclaims. Mr. Van Fleet did not submit any opposition to the motion. Mr Van Fleet's counsel resigned in October 2020.


The deadline for Mr. Van Fleet to appeal the Company's motion was January 11, 2021; Mr Van Fleet did not  appear nor was he represented by legal counsel in court on January 11th. Micromem's    motion for dismissal was  thus uncontested  and we are currently awaiting the court's decision on potential damages that Micromem may be awarded against Mr Van Fleet. 

At October 31, 2020, and at April 30, 2021, the Company reports a nil amount as the value of Mr. Van Fleet's claims.  The Company appeared  in court  on June  3rd, 2021 to present  its  claim  for damages. While the Company may obtain  judgement for damages, we cannot  yet predict the amount of damages that will be awarded. We have not recorded in our  unaudited consolidated financial statements any amount of recovery for damages as at April 30, 2021.

(c) Contingencies and Commitments

The Company may be subject to litigation, claims and governmental and regulatory proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.  In such cases, the Company accrues a loss contingency for these matters when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. There are no such accruals reflected in the Company's accounts at April 30, 2021.

The Company has extended its lease for premises through July 2022.  The lease term is for 5 years and stipulates base monthly rental expenses of $4,005 CDN.  Lease commitments are as follows - commitments less than one year of $48,060 CDN, years 2-5: $8,010 CDN. The Company has had  some relief  provided through the CERS program  as referenced  on page 8  of this MD&A  document.

(d)

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At April 30, 2021, the Company has no off-balance sheet financial commitments and does not anticipate entering into any contracts of such nature other than the addition of new operating leases for equipment and premises as may be required in the normal course of business.

(e)  Share Capital

At April 30, 2021, the Company reports 425,362,993 common shares outstanding (2020: 377,034,665). Additionally, the Company has 8,700,000 stock options outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $0.06 per share (2020: 5,730,000 options outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $0.25 per share).

(f)  Management and Board of Directors

At our Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on September 8, 2020, Joseph Fuda, Oliver Nepomuceno, and Alex Dey were re-elected to serve on our Board of Directors;  Brian Von Herzen was not put forward for reelection to the Board. Joseph Fuda and Dan Amadori continue to serve as officers of the Company.

Trade payables and other liabilities:

As at April 30, 2021, and October 31, 2020 the Company includes $167,215 in trade payables owing to a company whose major shareholder was a director of the Company from February 2014 through September 2020 and who has also previously served as its Chief Technology Officer. The balance reported relates to alleged services provided in 2015; there have been no invoices submitted by this related party after October 31, 2015.  The Company maintains that no amount is payable to by  the Company.                                                                                                               


Convertible debentures:                                                                                                                                                         

In May 2019, an officer of the Company provided  a short-term loan of $15,000 CDN ($11,450 USD). At October 31, 2019, $10,000 CDN ($7,582 USD) in loan principal remains outstanding. In 2020, the remaining amount of loan principal was extinguished  by participation of the CEO in the private placement which the Company completed at the time. The extinguishment of the debt for the shares received in the private placement resulted in a loss on conversion of $14,000 CDN ($10,600 USD).

In January 2018, an officer of the Company provided a convertible debenture of $150,000 CDN ($114,086 USD). At April 30, 2021 $10,001 CDN ($8,141 USD) remains outstanding (October 31, 2019, $52,319 CDN ($39,756 USD); October 31, 2018 - $ 100,862 CDN, $76,713 USD).                                                                                                                                                                       

(h)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity:

We currently report negative cash flow from operations. This result will only change once we are generating sufficient revenue from either license fees, royalties or the sale of products utilizing our technology.

We currently have no lines of credit in place. We must continue to obtain financing from investors or from clients in support of our development projects.

We have granted to our directors, officers, and employee's options to purchase shares at prices that are at or above market price on the date of grant. At January 31, 2021, there are 8,700,000  common stock options outstanding at an average exercise price of $0.06 per share.

Capital Resources:   We have no commitments for capital expenditures as of April 30, 2021.
