NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Expressed in US $000's except share and per share amounts
(unaudited)

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 consolidated interim 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 16.

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 USD. Prior to that date, the Company's operations were measured in Canadian dollars (CAD) and the consolidated financial statements were expressed in CAD. 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 USD 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 USD 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.

Change in accounting policies adopted in the current fiscal year

        In January 2009, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board issued a new standard for business combinations, CICA 1582, "Business Combinations," which is substantially converged with IFRS. The revised Canadian standard is effective for years beginning on or after January 1, 2011, with earlier adoption permitted. An entity adopting this section for a fiscal year beginning before January 1, 2011 shall disclose that fact and also is required to adopt CICA 1601, "Consolidated Financial Statements" and

CICA 1602, "Non-Controlling Interests" effective at the same time. The Company has adopted CICA Handbook Sections 1582, "Business Combinations," 1601, "Consolidated Financial Statements" and 1602, "Non-Controlling Interests" with effect from March 1, 2010.

3. ACQUISITION OF AXERRA NETWORKS INC.

        On October 13, 2010, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Axerra Networks Inc. ("Axerra"), a leader in pseudowire technology, under a share purchase agreement dated October 13, 2010. The total potential purchase price is $25,000 which includes $9,500 paid in cash on October 13, 2010 and a potential earn-out of $15,500, based on additional sales performance over the next 16 months. As at November 30, 2010 the Company has recorded $23,770 for the purchase which included cash consideration of $9,500 and the potential earn-out of $15,500 discounted to $14,270 using a risk-free rate of return adjusted for a risk premium. The estimated liability for the earn-out arrangement established upon acquisition of $14,270 will be adjusted based on accretion of the discount, changes in estimate, and fair value up to the anticipated payment date of February 13, 2011. Any adjustments to the estimated liability for the earn-out arrangement will be accounted for in the period in which the estimate is revised with a corresponding charge to the Statement of Operations.

        The acquisition was accounted for in accordance with CICA 1582, Business Combinations, where the deemed purchase price was allocated to the underlying tangible and identifiable assets and liabilities acquired based on their respective fair values on the acquisition date, and any excess purchase price allocated to goodwill. The results of operations of the acquired business will be consolidated with those of the Company effective October 14, 2010.

3. ACQUISITION OF AXERRA NETWORKS INC. (Continued)

        The primary reason for the acquisition, and the factors that contributed to the recognition of goodwill, relate to Axerra's position as a leader in pseudowire technology, its product portfolio that allows carriers to address the increasing need to carry legacy TDM traffic over a packet based network.

        Axerra's results of operations are included in the statement of operations of the combined entity as of the date of acquisition. Since the acquisition date the Company has recognized $3,687 in revenue with regards to Axerra, and Axerra has contributed $598 to the consolidated Net Income. The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the Company's results for the nine month period ended November 30, 2010, as if the Axerra acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the annual reporting period.

The NCIB was effective April 13, 2010 and will expire April 12, 2011. Daily purchases over the facilities of the NASDAQ are limited to 25% of the average daily trading volume of the common shares on NASDAQ other than pursuant to block purchase exemptions. Daily purchases over the facilities of the TSX are limited to 25% of the average daily trading volume of the common shares on TSX other than pursuant to block purchase exemptions. Except in the case of an exempt purchase, the prices that the Company will pay for the common shares purchased will be the market price of the shares at the time of acquisition.

        During the three months ended November 30, 2010, the Company acquired nil common shares pursuant to the NCIB at prevailing market prices. During the nine months ended November 30, 2010, the Company has acquired 1,865,549 common shares pursuant to the NCIB at prevailing market prices. These shares were purchased for cancellation at an aggregate cost of $10,738 of which $9,035 was charged to share capital, based on the historical weighted per share value at the date of purchase, and the balance of $1,703 was charged to deficit.

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 November 30, 2010, all restrictions have been lifted [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 and nine months ended November 30, 2010 a total of 7,561 and 19,014 common shares were purchased respectively by employees at fair market value, while the company issued 1,889 and 4,753 common shares respectively 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 and nine months ended November 30, 2010 was $4 and $7 respectively [three and nine months ended November 30, 2009—nil]. The fair value of the unearned ESPP shares as at November 30, 2010 was $34 [February 28, 2010—$10]. The number of shares held for release, and still restricted under the plan at November 30, 2010 was 5,066 [February 28, 2010—1,516].

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 41,332 common shares at a purchase price of $8.87 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.

        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 vested based on the achievement of pre-determined business milestones and resulted in an issuance of 31,562 warrants. 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.

Royalty Commitments

        Under the research and development agreements of Axerra Networks Ltd., a subsidiary of DragonWave, with the Office of the Chief Scientist ("OCS"), DragonWave is required to pay royalties at the rate of 3%—3.5% of sales of products developed with funds provided by the OCS, up to an amount equal to 100% of the OCS grants, bearing interest at the rate of LIBOR. The obligation to pay these royalties is contingent on actual sales of the products and in the absence of such sales, no payment is required.

        Upon acquisition of Axerra Networks Inc., the Company recognized $4,138 on to the Balance Sheet which represented the fair value of the obligation as at the acquisition date. The fair value represents the discounted, most probable obligation to the Company. After consideration of the liability recognized in the consolidated balance sheet, the company has a maximum potential obligation of an additional $10,597.

12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

        The Company leases premises from a real estate company controlled by a member of the Board of Directors. During the three and nine months ended November 30, 2010, the Company paid $335 and $1,074 respectively [three and nine months ended November 30, 2009—$262 and $670 respectively], relating to the rent, operating costs, and leasehold improvements associated with this real estate, and the value owing for net purchases at November 30, 2010 was $7 [February 28, 2010—$70]. These amounts have been allocated amongst various expense accounts, except for leasehold improvements which have been allocated to property and equipment.

        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 and nine month periods ended November 30, 2010 was nil and $2,794 respectively [three and nine months ended November 30, 2009—$4,791 and $11,364 respectively]. The majority of the purchases have been recorded in inventory and ultimately in cost of sales. This company ceased to be a related party on May 28, 2010.

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

13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

        Under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, financial instruments are classified into one of the following categories: held for trading, held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, loans and receivables, or other liabilities.

Fair Value

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

 
  November 30,
2010
  February 28,
2010
 

Held-for-trading(1)

    95,365     113,350  

Loans and receivables(2)

    15,784     28,990  

Other financial liabilities(3)

    14,938     31,269  

(1)
Includes cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, 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, restricted cash, 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 November 30, 2010.

Credit risk

        In addition to trade receivables and other receivables, the Company is exposed to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, 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.

Foreign exchange risk

        The following table summarizes the currency distribution of the Company's financial instruments in US dollars, as at November 30, 2010:

 
  November 30, 2010   February 28, 2010

Loans and receivables

    83%     11%     6%     93%     6%     1%  

Other financial liabilities

    64%     24%     12%     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 November 30, 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 an increase in after-tax net income of $39 for the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2010 [three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2009—$129], with an equal and opposite effect if the US dollar had depreciated 1 percent against all foreign currencies at November 30, 2010.

Liquidity risk

        A risk exists 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.

14. SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

        The Company operates in one reportable segment—broadband wireless backhaul equipment. All significant assets held by the Company are located in Canada. The following table presents total revenues by geographic location:

15. ECONOMIC DEPENDENCE

        The Company was dependent on two key customers with respect to revenue in the three months ended November 30, 2010. These customers represented approximately 52% and 13% of sales respectively for the three month period ended November 30, 2010 [three months ended November 30, 2009—82% and 0% respectively].

        The Company was dependent on one key customer with respect to revenue in the nine months ended November 30, 2010. This customer represented approximately 66% of sales for the nine month period ended November 30, 2010 [nine months ended November 30, 2009—76%].

16. 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:

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 and nine month periods ended November 30, 2010 and November 30, 2009.

        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.
