NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in US Dollars)

 

1.                                   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

POET Technologies Inc. is incorporated in the Province of Ontario. POET Technologies Inc. and ODIS Inc. (“ODIS”), a subsidiary of Opel Solar Inc., (collectively, the “Company”) is the developer of the planar opto-electronic technology (“POET”) platform semiconductor process IP for monolithic fabrication of integrated circuit devices containing both electronic and optical elements on a single die. Opel Solar Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of POET Technologies Inc. The Company’s head office is located at 121 Richmond Street West, Suite 501, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5H 2K1. These consolidated financial statements of the Company were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on August 10, 2015.

 

2.                                   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

These condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

 

These condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed below:

 

Basis of presentation

 

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of POET Technologies Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

 

Foreign currency translation

 

These consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars (“USD”), which is the Company’s presentation currency.

 

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company’s subsidiaries are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency  using  the  exchange  rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities not denominated in the functional currency of an entity are recognized in the statement of operations and deficit.

 

Assets and liabilities of entities with functional currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into the presentation currency at the year end rates of exchange, and the results of their operations are translated at average rates of exchange for the year. The resulting translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in shareholders’ equity. Additionally, foreign exchange gains and losses related to certain intercompany loans that are permanent in nature are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

2.                                      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Financial Instruments

 

Financial instruments are required to be classified as one of the following: held-to-maturity; loans and receivables, fair value through profit or loss; available-for-sale or other financial liabilities.

 

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The Company designated its cash and cash equivalents as fair value through profit or loss and its accounts payable and accrued liabilities as other financial liabilities.

 

Fair value through profit or loss financial assets are measured at fair value with gains and losses recognized in operations. Financial assets, loans and receivables and other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost. Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive loss.

 

Fair value of a financial instrument is the amount of consideration that would be agreed upon in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties who are under no compulsion to act. The fair value of a financial instrument on initial recognition is the transaction price, which is the fair value of the consideration given or received. Subsequent to initial recognition, the fair value of a financial instrument that is quoted in active markets is based on the bid price for a financial asset held and the offer price for a financial liability. When an independent price is not available, fair value is determined by using a valuation methodology that refers to observable market data. Such a valuation technique includes comparisons with a similar financial instrument where an observable market price exists, discounted cash flow analysis, option pricing models and other valuation techniques commonly used by market participants. If no reliable estimate can be made, the Company measures the financial instrument at cost less impairment as a last resort.

 

Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated based on the estimated useful life of the asset using the following method and useful lives:

 

Machinery and equipment

Straight Line, 5 years

Leasehold improvements

Straight Line, 5 years

Office equipment

Straight Line, 5 years

 

Patents and licenses

 

Patents and licenses are recorded at cost and amortized on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives. Ongoing maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. The expiry of the patents and licenses range from 6 - 12 years.

2.                                      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

The Company’s tangible and intangible assets are reviewed for indications of impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be recoverable. An assessment is made at each reporting date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired.

 

An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit and loss for the year. The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit (“CGU”) to which the asset belongs.

 

An impairment loss is reversed if there is an indication that there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized. The Company did not record an impairment loss in 2015 or 2014.

 

Income taxes

 

The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are provided on differences between the financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and on income tax losses available to be carried forward to future years for tax purposes. Deferred income taxes are measured using the substantively  enacted  tax  rates  and  laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are provided to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

Other income - Government Grants

 

Government grants received exclusively from the Department of Defense of the United States of America and NASA, relating to research and development, are recognized as other income, net, based on the agreed upon milestones of the projects. Other income earned on government grants in 2015 was nil (2014 -  $85,204 and $169,832 for the three and six months ended June 30.).

 

Interest income

 

Interest income on cash and cash equivalents classified as fair value through profit or loss is recognized as earned using the effective interest method.

2.                                   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Research and development costs

 

Research costs are expensed in the year incurred. Development costs are also expensed in the year incurred unless the Company believes a development project meets IFRS criteria as set out in IAS 38, Intangible Assets, for deferral and amortization. IAS 38 requires all reseach costs be charged to expense while development costs are capitalised only after technical and commercial feasibility of the asset for sale or use have been established. This means that the entity must intend and be able to complete the intangible asset and either use it or sell it and be able to demonstrate how the asset will generate future economic benefits. The Company has not met the the criteria set out in IAS 38, therefore no deferral has been recognized.

 

Stock-based compensation

 

Stock options and warrants awarded to non employees are accounted for using the fair value of the instrument awarded or service provided whichever is considered more reliable. Stock options and warrants awarded to employees are accounted for using the fair value method. The fair value of such stock options and warrants granted is recognized as an expense on a proportionate basis consistent with the vesting features of each tranche of the grant. The fair value is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with assumptions applicable at the date of grant.

 

Loss per share

 

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period after giving effect to potentially dilutive financial instruments. The dilutive effect of stock options and warrants is determined using the treasury stock method.

 

The following new accounting policy was adopted on January 1, 2015:

 

Financial instruments

 

IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, replaces IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The new standard requires entities to classify financial assets as being measured either at amortized cost or fair value depending on the business model and contractual cash flow characteristics of the asset. For financial liabilities, IFRS 9 requires an entity choosing to measure a liability at fair value to present the portion of the change in its fair value due to change in the entity’s own credit risk in the other comprehensive income rather than in the statement of profit or loss. The adoption of this policy did not impact the Company’s condensed unauditied consolidated financial statements.

 

3.                                   RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

The following is a summary of recent accounting pronouncements that may affect the Company.

 

IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“IFRS 15”). The IASB issued IFRS 15, which is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017. The standard contains a single model that applies to contracts with customers and two approaches to recognizing revenue: at a point in time and over time. The model features a contract-based five-step analysis of transactions to determine whether, how much and when revenue is recognized. New estimates and judgmental thresholds have been introduced, which may affect the amount and/or timing of revenue recognized. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

On February 13, 2014, the Company completed a $4,546,000 private placement financing. The financing consisted of 7,692,307 units at a price of $0.59 per unit. Each unit comprised one common share and one common share purchase warrant. One warrant allows the holder to acquire one additional common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.91 per share for a period of 2 years, expiring on February 12, 2016.  No commission was payable with respect to this financing.

 

The fair value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, interest rate of 1.017%, volatility of 92.22% and estimated life of 2 years. The estimated fair value assigned to the warrants was $1,869,231.

 

During 2014, the Company paid $31,712 as incentives for the exercise of warrants.

9.                                      STOCK OPTIONS AND CONTRIBUTED SURPLUS

 

Stock Options

 

On June 12, 2015, shareholders of the Company approved amendments to the Company’s fixed 20% stock option plan (as amended, referred to as the “2015 Plan”). Under the 2015 Plan, the board of directors may grant options to acquire common shares of the Company to qualified directors, officers, employees and consultants. The 2015 Plan provides that the number of common shares issuable pursuant to options granted under the 2015 Plan and pursuant to other previously granted options is limited to 36,326,000 (the “Number Reserved”). Any subsequent increase in the Number Reserved must be approved by shareholders of the Company and cannot, at the time of the increase, exceed 20% of the number of issued and outstanding shares. Options granted under the 2015 Plan generally vest 25% every six months from the date of issue and will become fully vested over 24 months. The Board of Directors may alter the vesting provisions of 2015 plan at their discretion.

14.                               FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The Company estimates that the fair value of these instruments approximates fair value due to their short term nature.

 

The Company has classified financial assets and (liabilities) as follows:

 

 

 

June 30,

 

December 31,

 

 

 

2015

 

2014

 

Fair value through profit or loss, measured at fair value:

 

 

 

 

 

Cash

 

$

15,276,119

 

$

11,287,864

 

Other liabilities, measured at amortized cost:

 

 

 

 

 

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities

 

(514,476

)

(451,724

)

 

Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the balance sheet 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) observed in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

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.

Level 3 - valuation techniques based on inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

 

Cash and cash equivalents were determined using level 1 inputs.

 

Exchange Rate Risk

 

The functional currency of each of the entities included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements is the local currency where the entity is domiciled. Functional currencies include the US and Canadian dollar. Most transactions are conducted in functional currencies. As such, none of the entities included in the consolidated financial statements engage in hedging activities. The Company is exposed to a foreign currency risk with the Canadian dollar. A 10% change in the Canadian dollar would increase or decrease other comprehensive income by $967,942.

 

Liquidity Risk

 

The Company currently does not maintain credit facilities. The Company’s existing cash and cash resources are considered sufficient to fund operating and investing activities through 2016.
