NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

        DragonWave Inc. [the "Company"], incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act in February 2000, is in the business of developing next-generation broadband wireless backhaul equipment.

        The Company's common shares are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the trading symbol DWI and on NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol DRWI.

        These consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ["GAAP"] applicable to interim financial statements and follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2010, except as described in note 2. Additional disclosures are required in the annual financial statements and accordingly, these interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2010 and the accompanying notes.

        A reconciliation to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States has been presented in note 15.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Change in functional and reporting currency

        Effective March 1, 2010, the Company adopted the US dollar (USD) as its functional and reporting currency, as a significant portion of its revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities and financing are denominated in US dollars. Prior to that date, the Company's operations were measured in Canadian dollars (CAD) and the consolidated financial statements were expressed in Canadian dollars. The Company followed the recommendations of the Emerging Issues Committee (EIC) of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA), set out in EIC-130, "Translation method when the reporting currency differs from the measurement currency or there is a change in the reporting currency". In accordance with EIC-130, assets and liabilities as at March 1, 2010, were translated into US dollars using the exchange rate in effect on that date and equity transactions were translated at historical rates. As the change took place on the first day of the fiscal year, there was no income statement or cash flow translation required. For comparative purposes, historical financial statements have been restated in US dollars using the current rate method. Under this method, assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate in effect at the end of these periods, revenues, expenses and cash flows are translated at the average rates in effect for these periods and equity transactions are translated at historical rates. Any exchange differences resulting from the translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income presented in shareholders' equity.

Restricted Shares & Employee Share Purchase Plan

        The Company introduced a restricted stock purchase plan as at June 30, 2005. The plan included provisions to allow employees to purchase common shares as restricted shares. As at May 31, 2010, the amount of restricted stock under this plan was nil [February 28, 2010—85 shares].

        The Company launched an Employee Share Purchase Plan ["ESPP"] on October 20, 2008. The plan includes provisions to allow employees to purchase Common shares. The Company will match the employees' contribution at a rate of 25%. During the three months ended May 31, 2010 a total of 3,746 common shares were purchased by employees at fair market value, while the company issued 936 common shares as its matching contribution. The shares contributed by the Company will vest 12 months after issuance.

        The Company records an expense equal to the fair value of shares granted pursuant to the employee share purchase plan over the period the shares vest. The total fair value of the shares earned during the three months ended May 31, 2010 was $1 [three months ended May 31, 2009—nil]. The fair value of the unearned ESPP shares as at May 31, 2010 was $16 [February 28, 2010—$10]. The number of shares held for release under the plan at May 31, 2010 was 2,075 [February 28, 2010—1,516]. As at May 31, 2010, 2,075 of these shares were still restricted.

Warrants

        On December 21, 2001, and as amended and restated on November 10, 2003, in connection with the issuance of the long-term debt, the Company issued to two parties the right to purchase $315 and $35 Series A-1 Preferred Shares of the Company. On April 19, 2007, a capital reorganization occurred pursuant to which all Preferred Shares were converted into common shares. As a result, and in accordance with the original terms of the agreement, the terms of the warrant were updated such that the holders are

entitled to purchase an aggregate of 40,293 common shares at a purchase price of $8.69 per share. These warrants are still outstanding and carry a cashless conversion privilege, expire upon the later of: [a] the tenth anniversary of the grant of the right to purchase or [b] April 19, 2012.

        In consideration for entering into the convertible debt agreement with certain lenders, the Company issued warrants to the lenders which, pursuant to the capital reorganization on April 19, 2007, resulted in the determination of the number of common shares available for purchase, and the corresponding exercise price. A cashless conversion was permitted based on a formula detailed in the warrant agreement. The warrants became exercisable on April 19, 2007, and during the three months ended May 31, 2010, 15,457 warrants were exercised resulting in the issuance of 9,910 shares after giving effect to the cashless conversion feature. As at May 31, 2010 all warrants issued had been exercised and are reflected in the shares issued and outstanding.

        Effective May 30, 2007, the Company granted a warrant to a party to purchase up to 126,250 common shares of the Company at a price of $3.56 CAD per share. The warrant expires 10 years after the date of issuance. The warrants shall vest based on the achievement of pre-determined business milestones. As at August 31, 2008, a revenue reduction provision in the amount of $64 was recognized with a corresponding increase in contributed surplus based on achievement. The provision was determined using the Black-Scholes Model using a volatility factor of 50%, risk free rate of 3.3% dividend yield of nil, and an expected life of 8.75 years.

        In the normal course of its business activities, the Company is subject to claims and legal actions. The Company recognizes a provision for estimated loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In management's opinion, adequate provisions have been made for all current and future claims.

10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

        The Company leases premises from a real estate company controlled by a member of the Board of Directors. During the three months ended May 31, 2010, the Company paid $306 [three months ended May 31, 2009—$165], relating to the rent, operating costs, and leasehold improvements associated with this real estate, and the value owing for net purchases at May 31, 2010 was $111 [February 28, 2010—$70] and is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. These amounts have been allocated amongst various expense accounts except for leasehold improvements which have been allocated to property, equipment and intangible assets.

        The Company also purchased products and services from a company controlled or significantly influenced by a Board member. Total net product and services purchased for the three month period ended May 31, 2010 was $2,794 [three months ended May 31, 2009—$1,892]. The majority of the purchases have been recorded in inventory and ultimately in cost of sales. As at May 31, 2010, this company is no longer a related party.

        All transactions are in the normal course of business and have been recorded at the exchange amount.

11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

Fair Value

        The following table summarizes the carrying values of the Company's financial instruments:

 
  May 31,
2010
  February 28,
2010
 

Held-for-trading(1)

    115,825     113,350  

Loans and receivables(2)

    17,798     28,990  

Other financial liabilities(3)

    19,831     31,269  

(1)
Includes cash, cash equivalents, and short term investments

(2)
Includes trade receivables and other receivables which are financial in nature

(3)
Includes accounts payable and accrued liabilities which are financial in nature

        Cash and cash equivalents, short term investments, trade receivables, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are short term financial instruments whose fair value approximates the carrying amount given that they will mature shortly. As at the balance sheet date, there are no significant differences between the carrying value of these items and their estimated fair values.

Interest rate risk

        Cash and cash equivalents with variable interest rates expose the Company to interest rate risk on these financial instruments. The Company pays interest on its line of credit at the bank's prime rate of interest plus 1%, and has interest rate risk exposure due to changes in the bank's prime rate. The line of credit was not utilized as at May 31, 2010.

Credit risk

        In addition to trade receivables, the Company is exposed to credit risk in its cash and cash equivalents, and short term investments in the event that its counterparties do not meet their obligations. The Company does not use credit derivatives or similar instruments to mitigate this risk and, as such, the maximum exposure is the full carrying value or face value of the financial instrument. The Company minimizes credit risk on cash and cash equivalents and short term investments by transacting with only reputable financial institutions.

11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

Foreign exchange risk

        The following table summarizes the currency distribution of the Company's financial instruments in US dollars, as at May 31, 2010:

 
  May 31, 2010   February 28, 2010  
 
  US
Dollars
  CDN

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments

    91%     9%     0%     86%     13%     1%  

Trade receivables

    93%     5%     2%     93%     6%     1%  

Financial liabilities

    79%     21%     0%     65%     35%     0%  

        Foreign exchange risk arises because of fluctuations in exchange rates. The Company does not currently use derivative financial instruments to mitigate this risk.

        If the US dollar had appreciated 1 percent against all foreign currencies at May 31, 2010, with all other variables held constant, the impact of this foreign currency change on the Company's foreign denominated financial instruments would have resulted in a reduction of after-tax net income of $85 for the period ended May 31, 2010 [period ended May 31, 2009—$113], with an equal and opposite effect if the US dollar had depreciated 1 percent against all foreign currencies at May 31, 2010.

Liquidity risk

        Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. Based on the Company's recent performance, current revenue expectations and strong current ratio, management believes that liquidity risk is low.

12. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

        The Company defines capital as its shareholders equity. The Company manages its capital in order to maintain flexibility and respond to changes in economic and/or marketplace conditions. In order to increase shareholder value, the Company may adjust its capital structure by issuing new shares, purchasing shares for cancellation or raising debt. At this time, the Company does not utilize debt facilities as part its capital management strategy. For the three months ended May 31, 2010, the Company has not distributed dividends to its shareholders. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed requirements and there were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the three month period ended on May 31, 2010.

15. RECONCILIATION WITH UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

        The Company follows Canadian GAAP which is different in some respects from the accounting principles applicable in the United States ["U.S. GAAP"] and from practices prescribed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The significant differences between Canadian and U.S. GAAP, and their effects on the consolidated financial statements, are described below:

        The following table reconciles net and comprehensive income [loss] as reported under Canadian GAAP to net and comprehensive income [loss] that would have been reported had the consolidated financial statements been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP:

        The following table details the computation of net and comprehensive income and loss under U.S. GAAP:

Stock-based compensation

        Under Canadian GAAP, effective March 1, 2004, public companies must account for stock-based compensation granted to employees, officers and directors at fair value, which is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Prior to the IPO, DragonWave was privately held and used the minimum value methodology for valuing stock-based compensation, also allowable under Canadian GAAP.

        Under U.S. GAAP, effective March 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ASC 718, "Stock Compensation" ["ASC 718"], formerly SFAS No. 123(R) "Share-based payments." This standard requires companies to expense the fair value of stock-based compensation awards through operations, including estimating forfeitures at the time of grant in order to estimate the amount of stock-based awards that will ultimately vest. The Company elected to apply the modified prospective application transition method to account for stock options outstanding as at February 28, 2005. This method requires that the provisions of ASC 718 are generally applied only to share-based awards granted, modified, repurchased or cancelled on March 1, 2006 and thereafter. ASC 718 was applied prospectively to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the required effective date. The Company had previously applied ASC 718 and recognizes the remaining value of awards granted prior to March 1, 2006 over their remaining service period.

        The Company has adopted the straight-line attribution method for determining the compensation cost to be recorded during each accounting period. However, awards based on performance conditions are recorded as compensation expense when the performance conditions are expected to be met.

        As a result of adopting ASC 718, which does not permit the use of the minimum value method additional compensation expense has been recorded under U.S. GAAP for the three months period ended May 31, 2010 and May 31, 2009.

        ASC 718 does not permit the use of the minimum value method. The Company derives the volatility over the expected term of the awards based on comparable companies' historical volatilities as this represents the most appropriate basis to determine actual expected volatility of its own shares in future periods. The expected life of options was determined based on several factors including historical life, probable life before exercise, and probability of exercise.
