DragonWave Inc.

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 and pseudowire 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 financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, DragonWave Corp., incorporated in the state of Delaware, USA, DragonWave PTE Limited, incorporated in Singapore, 4472314 Canada Inc., incorporated in Canada, Axerra Networks Inc., incorporated in the state of Delaware, USA, Axerra Networks Ltd., incorporated in Israel, Axerra GMBH, incorporated in Germany, Axerra Networks Asia Pacific Limited, incorporated in Hong Kong, and its majority owned subsidiary, DragonWave HFCL India Private Limited. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

        The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in United States dollars following United States generally accepted accounting principles ["GAAP"] as further discussed in Note 2.

        The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2011.

        In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which consist only of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position at August 31, 2011 and the results of operations, cash flows and changes in equity for the three and six months ended August 31, 2011 and 2010.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Adoption of United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

        In February 2008, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board confirmed the transition from Canadian GAAP to International Financial Reporting Standards ["IFRS"] for all publicly accountable entities no later than fiscal years commencing on or after January 1, 2011. As a result, management undertook a detailed review of the implications of the Company having to report under IFRS and also examined the alternative available to the Company, as a Foreign Private Issuer in the United States, of filing its primary financial statements in Canada using U.S. GAAP, as permitted by the Canadian Securities Administrators' National Instrument 51-102, "Continuous Disclosure Obligations".

        As a result of this analysis, management determined that the Company would adopt U.S. GAAP as its primary basis of financial reporting commencing March 1, 2011 on a retrospective basis. All comparative financial information contained in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements has been revised to reflect the Company's results as if they had been historically reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

(unaudited)

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

        The significant accounting policies of the Company are those described in Note 2 and 17 of its annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2011 except for "Stock-based compensation" and "Investment tax credits" for which the accounting policy is described in Note 24 and except for the changes in accounting policies adopted in the current fiscal year, as described below.

        The adoption of U.S. GAAP did not have a material change on the Company's accounting policies or financial results. An adjustment of $154 was made to increase deficit as calculated by Canadian GAAP as at February 28, 2011 due to the adoption of U.S. GAAP. For further details on the reporting differences consult note 24 to the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2011.

Accounting policies adopted in the current fiscal year

Non-Controlling Interest

        The Company adopted ASC 810-10-65, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, which governs the accounting for and reporting of (1) non-controlling interest in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and (2) the loss of control of subsidiaries. Significant changes to the accounting for non-controlling interests include (a) the inclusion of non-controlling interests in the equity section of the controlling entity's consolidated balance sheets rather than in the mezzanine section and (b) the requirement that changes in the controlling entity's interest in the non-controlling interest, without a change in control, be recognized in the controlling entity's equity rather than being accounted for by the purchase method, which accounting under the purchase method would have given rise to goodwill.

        Additionally, the adoption of ASC 810-10-65 requires that net income, as previously reported prior to the adoption of ASC 810-10-65, be adjusted to include the net income attributable to the non-controlling interest, and that a new separate caption for net income attributable to common shareholders of the Company be presented in the consolidated statements of operations. ASC 810-10-65 also requires similar disclosure regarding comprehensive income (loss). The Company has disclosed the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income in accordance with this ASC.

Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements

        In November 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, which amends the guidance in ASC 605-25 on multiple element revenue arrangements. The amendment eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires that any arrangement consideration be allocated to all deliverables using the relative selling price method with any discounts allocated proportionally to each deliverable. The amendment also establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of each deliverable. The selling price, formally referred to as fair value, will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence if available, third-party evidence if vendor specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific objective evidence nor third-party evidence is available. For the Company, this ASU is effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified on or after March 1, 2011. This change did not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Impairment of Goodwill

        On December 17, 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, the new standard requires entities with a zero or negative carrying value to assess, considering qualitative factors such as those listed in ASC 350, whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. If an entity concludes that it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, the entity must perform step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. This change did not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Intangibles—Goodwill and Other

        In August 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, which discusses the new Qualitative Assessment Option for testing goodwill impairment. Under this update, the Company may first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. If the assessment resulted in more than 50% likelihood that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, then the Company must continue to apply the two-step impairment test. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, then neither of the two steps in the current Goodwill impairment test is required. The company has decided to early adopt the standard, effective August 31, 2011. The impact of the adoption has been described in Note 9.

Fair Value Measurements

        In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued authoritative guidance to improve disclosures about fair value measurements. This new authoritative guidance became effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to separately disclose purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the Level 3 reconciliation, which became effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company adopted the authoritative guidance to improve disclosures about fair value measurements and the authoritative guidance requiring separate disclosure on purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the Level 3 reconciliation in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or the Company's disclosures.

FUTURE ACCOUNTING CHANGES

Fair Value Measurements

        In May 2011, the FASB, as a result of work performed with the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), issued authoritative guidance to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The guidance is expected to improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The guidance presents certain amendments to clarify existing fair value measurements and disclosure requirements such as clarifying the application of the highest and best use and valuation premise concepts, measuring the fair value of an instrument classified in a reporting entity's shareholders' equity and clarifying that a reporting entity should disclose quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in a fair value measurements that is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Furthermore, the guidance amends previous

        At August 31, 2011, the Company performed an analysis of its intangible assets in order to determine whether the carrying value of those assets exceeded the estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use or disposition of those assets. Based upon this analysis, management of the Company determined that the carrying value of the intangible assets were in excess of the estimated future cash flows expected to result from their use or disposition. In each case where the fair value of the asset was less than the carrying value, the Company wrote the asset down to its fair value and recorded a corresponding impairment charge. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge on intangible assets of $8,315 during the three and six months ended August 31, 2011.

9. GOODWILL and INTANGIBLE ASSETS (Continued)

        The goodwill impairment test is a three-step process which requires management to make judgmental assumptions regarding fair value. The first step in the impairment test is to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. Because the Company impaired its intangible assets with finite lives, the Company believed there were qualitative factors in-place that would suggest that the two-step goodwill impairment test would need to be performed. The second step consisted of estimating the fair value of our aggregated reporting unit using the market value of our common stock as at August 31, 2011, multiplied by the number of outstanding common shares (market capitalization). We compared the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value which includes goodwill. The results of the initial market capitalization test produced results which were above the aggregated reporting unit carrying value, the third step was not required.

The accrual is based on the terms of the warranty which vary by customer, product, or service and historical experience. The Company regularly evaluates the appropriateness of the remaining accrual.

        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 six months ended August 31, 2011 was $9 and $16 respectively [three and six months ended August 31, 2010—$2 and $3 respectively]. The fair value of the unearned ESPP shares as at August 31, 2011 was $52 [February 28, 2011—$42].

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.

        On August 31, 2011 the Company adjusted the contingent royalty liability to $1,750 based on a change in estimate. A corresponding charge of $1,850 was made to recognize the change in estimate in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income in the three and six months ended August 31, 2011. The fair value represents the discounted, most probable obligation to the Company. After consideration of the liability currently recognized in the consolidated balance sheet of $1,750, the company has a maximum potential obligation of an additional $13,558.

16. 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 six months ended August 31, 2011, the Company paid $419 and $865 respectively [three and six months ended August 31, 2010—$433 and $739 respectively], relating to the rent, operating costs, and leasehold improvements associated with this real estate, and the value owing for net purchases at August 31, 2011 was $11 [February 28, 2011—$30]. These amounts have been allocated amongst various expense accounts, except for leasehold improvements which have been allocated to property and equipment.

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

Fair Value

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

 
  August 31,
2011
  February 28,
2011
 

Held-for-trading(1)

    71,595     89,714  

Receivables(2)

    10,972     12,197  

Other financial liabilities(3)

    13,791     14,608  

(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 consolidated balance sheet dates, there are no significant differences between the carrying value of these items and their estimated fair values. All financial instruments have been measured using Level 1 inputs.

Interest rate risk

        Cash and cash equivalents and short term investments with fixed interest rates expose the Company to interest rate risk on these financial instruments. Interest income of $127 and $211 was recognized during the three and six months ended August 31, 2011 on the Company's cash, cash equivalents and short term investments [three and six months ended August 31, 2010—$76 and $108].

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 August 31, 2011:

Held-for-trading

Receivables

Other financial liabilities

    67%     18%     15%     70%     18%     12%  

        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 August 31, 2011, 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 decrease in after-tax net income of $91 for the three and six month periods ended August 31, 2011 [three month period ended August 31, 2010—$34], with an equal and opposite effect if the US dollar had depreciated 1 percent against all foreign currencies at August 31, 2011.

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.
