INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT | F. 416.480.2646 |

To the Shareholders of Micromem Technologies Inc.: | |
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Micromem Technologies Inc. and its subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as at October 31, 2011 and 2010 and the consolidated statements of operations and deficit and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended October 31, 2011, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in ours audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Micromem Technologies Inc. and its subsidiaries as at October 31, 2011 and 2010, and its financial performance and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended October 31, 2011 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.
Emphasis of Matter
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 2 in the consolidated financial statements which describes the material uncertainties that cast significant doubts about Micromem Technologies Inc.’s ability to continue as a going concern.

MICROMEM TECHNOLOGIES INC. |
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) |
|
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
(Expressed in United States dollars) |
|
For the years ended October 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 |
|
1. | NATURE OF BUSINESS |
| |
| Micromem Technologies Inc. (“Micromem” or the “Company”) is a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada. By Articles of Amendment dated January 14, 1999, the Company changed its name from Avanticorp International Inc. to Micromem Technologies Inc. On January 11, 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Pageant Technologies Inc. (“Pageant”), a company subsisting under the laws of Barbados. This acquisition was recorded as a reverse takeover under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”) which, except as outlined in Note 18, conforms with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). |
| |
| The Company currently operates as a developer of magnetic sensor technology and applications of this technology. The Company has not generated revenue through October 31, 2011 and is devoting substantially all of its efforts to the development of its technologies. Accordingly, for financial reporting purposes, the Company is a development stage enterprise. |
| |
2. | GOING CONCERN |
| |
| These 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 adverse conditions and events that cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time in future. During the year ended October 31, 2011, the Company incurred a net loss of $2,573,544 (2010: $4,674,861) and, as of that date, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $78,844,241 (2010: $75,792,113), a working capital deficiency of $1,047,228 (2010: $1,459,460) and negative cash flows from operations of $1,453,508 (2010: $1,616,133). |
| |
| The Company will focus its development effort on existing projects in order to develop commercial applications for these projects and will continue to raise financing for operations as outlined in Notes 11 and 20. |
| |
| It will be necessary for the Company to raise additional funds for the continued development, testing and commercial exploitation of its technologies. To date, the Company has raised financing through successive unit private placements, through the exercise of common share stock options and through the exercise of common share purchase warrants. It has also secured periodic term loans. |

|
For the years ended October 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 |
|
2. | GOING CONCERN (Cont’d) |
| | | |
| In the ensuing fiscal year, the Company anticipates that (i) it will realize initial revenues from commercialization efforts with current strategic development partners, (ii) it will monitor the timing of incurring additional expenses in keeping with its ongoing working capital position, and (iii) it will continue to secure financing in the same manner in which it has raised financing to date. |
| | | |
| The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of the assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in business. If the “going concern” assumption were 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. Such adjustments may be material. |
| | | |
3. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| | | |
| These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP and are stated in United States dollars. These principles are also in conformity in all material respects with U.S. GAAP (except as disclosed in Note 18). The most significant accounting policies are as follows: |
| | | |
| a. | Principles of Consolidation: |
| | | |
| | These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly- owned subsidiaries: |
| | | |
| | i. | Memtech International Inc., Memtech International (U.S.A.) Inc., Pageant Technologies Inc. and Pageant Technologies (U.S.A.) Inc. and Micromem Holdings (Barbados) Inc. all of which are inactive companies. |
| | | |
| | ii. | On November 10, 2007 the Company incorporated Micromem Applied Sensors Technology, Inc. (“MAST”) as a wholly-owned subsidiary domiciled in Delaware. MAST has the primary responsibility for the further development of the Company’s technologies in conjunction with various potential strategic development partners. |

|
3. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) |
| iii. | On October 30, 2008, the Company incorporated 7070179 Canada Inc. as a wholly- owned subsidiary. On October 31, 2008, the Company assigned its rights, title and interests in certain patents which it previously held directly to 7070179 Canada Inc. in exchange for common shares of this subsidiary. |
| | All intercompany investments, balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. |
| | |
| b. | Use of Estimates: |
| | |
| | The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with Canadian GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
| | |
| | Significant estimates made by the Company include the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, the valuation of the promissory note receivable, the estimated useful life of property and equipment and patents, the valuation of patents, the valuation of intangible assets, the valuation of deferred development costs incurred, the valuation of bridge loans, the valuation of accrued liabilities and the computation of fair values of stock options and warrants using the Black Scholes option-pricing model. |
| | |
| c. | Financial Instruments – Recognition, Measurement, Disclosure and Presentation: |
| | |
| | Section 3855 establishes standards for recognizing and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities and non-financial derivatives. All financial assets and financial liabilities, including derivatives, are initially measured in the balance sheet at fair value, except for loans and receivables, investments held-to maturity and other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost. Measurement in subsequent periods depends on whether the financial instrument had been classified as held-for trading, available-for-sale, held-to- maturity, loans and receivables, or other liabilities. |
| | |
| | Held-for-trading financial investments are measured at fair value and all gains and losses are included in net income in the period in which they arise. Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value with revaluation gains and losses included in other comprehensive income until the assets are removed from the balance sheet. |

|
3. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) |
| | The Company classifies cash and cash equivalents as held-for-trading. Held-for-trading financial assets are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Accounts receivable and promissory note receivable are classified as loans and receivables, and are initially measured at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and bridge loans are classified as other liabilities, and initially measured at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. |
| | |
| d. | Comprehensive Income: |
| | |
| | Section 1530 requires the presentation of comprehensive income, which consists of net income and other comprehensive income ("OCI"). Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity from transactions and other events from non-owner sources. OCI refers to items recognized in comprehensive income but that are excluded from net income calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company does not currently have any other comprehensive income and accordingly, a statement of comprehensive income has not been presented. |
| | |
| e. | Foreign Currency Translation: |
| | |
| | The functional and reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar. The Company’s wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries are integrated foreign operations and, therefore, the Company uses the temporal method whereby monetary assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars at the rate of exchange in effect at the consolidated balance sheet dates and non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates. Income and expenses are translated using the three month average rate of exchange per quarter, which rate approximates the rate of exchange prevailing at the transaction dates. Gains or losses resulting from translation are included in the determination of net loss for the period. |
| | |
| f. | Cash and Cash Equivalents: |
| | |
| | Cash and cash equivalents consist of all bank accounts and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. |

|
3. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) |
| | |
| g. | Short-Term Investment: |
| | |
| | Short-term investment consists of a secured, interest-bearing promissory note with a maturity date, of September 30, 2010 which has been fully reserved due to uncertainty of collection (Note 7). |
| | |
| h. | Loan Impairment: |
| | |
| | Impaired loans are accounted for at their face amount net of the allowance for loan impairment. When a loan is deemed to be impaired, its carrying amount is reduced to its estimated realizable amount which is measured by discounting the expected future cash flows at the effective interest rate inherent in the loans. The amount initially recognized as an impairment loan, together with any subsequent change, is charged to the allowance as an adjustment. A write-off of the loan will occur when the loan is believed to have no reasonable expectation of collectability. |
| | |
| i. | Intangible Assets |
| | |
| | Costs for the general development of the Company’s sensor technology are expensed unless they meet the criteria for deferral. Expenditures during the development phase are capitalized if the Corporation can demonstrate each of the following criteria: (i) the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, (ii) its intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it, (iii) its ability to use or sell the intangible asset, (iv) how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits, (v) the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset, and (vi) its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development; otherwise, they are expensed as incurred. Commencing in 2011, the Company determined that these costs met the criteria and, accordingly, these costs have been capitalized and are tested annually for impairment. Amortization is provided on a 7 year straight-line basis. |
| | |
| j. | Inventory: |
| | |
| | Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, where cost is determined on a first in, first out basis. Net realizable value for parts and materials is replacement cost. The cost of finished goods and work in progress includes parts, materials, labour and an allocation of direct overhead expenses. |
| | |
| | The Company has determined that, at October 31, 2011 and 2010, the prototype units that it is developing do not constitute saleable inventory and, accordingly, no inventory balances are reported. |

3. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) |
| | |
| k. | Long-lived Assets: |
| | |
| | Long-lived assets consist of property and equipment, patents and trademarks, intangible assets, royalty rights and deferred development costs. |
| | |
| | The Company initially records the value of the long-lived assets acquired at cost. Such assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the excess of the carrying value of the assets over their fair value. |
| | |
| l. | Property and Equipment: |
| | |
| | Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are amortized over their estimated useful lives at the following annual rates and methods: |
| Computers | 30% declining balance basis |
| Office equipment | 30% declining balance basis |
| m. | Research and Development Costs |
| | |
| | Research costs are expensed in the period incurred. Development costs are expensed as incurred unless they meet the criteria for deferral. Expenditures during the development phase are capitalized if the Corporation can demonstrate each of the following criteria: (i) the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, (ii) its intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it, (iii) its ability to use or sell the intangible asset, (iv) how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits, (v) the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset, and (vi) its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development; otherwise, they are expensed as incurred. Commencing in 2009, the Company determined that its continuing activities related to the development of its sensor technology met the deferral criteria and, accordingly, these costs have been capitalized and are tested annually for recoverability. Development costs will be amortized on an appropriate basis at the time the Company enters commercial production. |
| | |
| | Investment tax credits (ITCs) arising from research and development are recognized when their realization is reasonably assured. The ITCs are applied against the related costs and expenditures in the year that they are incurred. |

3. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) |
| | |
| n. | Patents |
| | |
| | Patents are recorded at cost and are amortized on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives of 5 years. Effective November 1, 2009, the Company revised the estimated useful life of patents from 10 years to 5 years (Note 10). Patents are recorded net of accumulated amortization with amortization expense capitalized with development cost since the patents are directly related to development. |
| | |
| o. | Unit Private Placements: |
| | |
| | Until October 31, 2008, the Company had adopted the residual value approach in accounting for the value assigned to the common shares and the warrants which it has made available in a number of Unit private placement financings. Under this residual value approach, the Company assigned 100% of the proceeds from the Unit private placement to the common shares and a nil value to the attached warrants. |
| | |
| | In the year ended October 31, 2009 the Company changed the estimates that it used to value the common shares and the warrants included in the Unit private placement financings which it completed in the fiscal year then ended. It assigned a value to the warrants which form part of these Unit private placements, using the relative fair value approach, calculated in accordance with the Black Scholes option pricing model. |
| | |
| p. | Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments: |
| | |
| | The Company applies the fair value based method of accounting for all stock-based payments to employees and non-employees and all direct awards of stocks. Accordingly, stock-based payments are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred, whichever is more reliably measurable. Stock-based compensation is charged to operations over the vesting period and the offset is credited to contributed surplus. |
| | |
| | Consideration received upon the exercise of stock options and warrants is credited to share capital and the related contributed surplus is transferred to share capital. |
| | |
| | The fair value of stock options and warrants is determined by the Black Scholes option- pricing model with assumptions for risk free interest rates, dividend yields, volatility factors of the expected market price of the Company’s common shares and an expected life of the option or warrant issued.

3. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) |
| | |
| q. | Income Taxes: |
| | |
| | The Company accounts for income taxes by the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled. To the extent that it is estimated that a future income tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is provided. |
| | |
| r. | Earnings or Loss Per Share: |
| | |
| | Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding during the year. Potential common shares consist of incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method. |
| | |
| s. | Related Party Transactions |
| | |
| | Transactions with related parties are incurred in the normal course of business and are measured at the exchange amount, which is the consideration established and agreed to by the respective parties. |

4. | FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES |
| |
| Effective November 1, 2009, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA”) issued an amendment to Handbook Section 3862 to provide improvements to fair value and liquidity risk disclosures. The amendment applies to the Company's fiscal year ending October 31, 2010. This adoption resulted in additional disclosure as provided below. |
| |
| The following summarizes the methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the Company's financial instruments where measurement is required. The fair value of financial instruments approximated their carrying amounts due to the relatively short period to maturity. Fair value amounts represent point-in-time estimates and may not reflect fair value in the future. The measurements are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and are a matter of significant judgment. The methods and assumptions used to develop fair value measurements, for those financial instruments where fair value is recognized in the balance sheet, have been prioritized into three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows: |
| |
| Level 1: Values based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities. |
| |
| Level 2: Values based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. |
| |
| Level 3: Values based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. |
| |
| The Company's financial instruments measured at fair value on the balance sheet consist of cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are measured at level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. |

5. | RECENT CANADIAN ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT YET ADOPTED |
| | |
| a. | International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS): |
| | |
| | In February 2008, the Accounting Standards Board ("AcSB") confirmed that the use of IFRS will be required in 2011 for publicly accountable enterprises in Canada. In April, 2008, the AcSB issued an IFRS Omnibus Exposure Draft proposing that publicly accountable enterprises be required to apply IFRS, in full and without modification, on January 1, 2011. The adoption date of January 1, 2011 will require the restatement, for comparative purposes, of amounts reported by the Company for its year ended October 31, 2011, and of the opening balance sheet as at November 1, 2010. The Company is continuing to assess the financial reporting impacts of the adoption of IFRS and, at this time, the impact on future financial position and results of operations is not reasonably determinable or estimable. The Company does anticipate a significant increase in disclosure resulting from the adoption of IFRS and is continuing to assess the level of disclosure required, as well as system changes that may be necessary to gather and process the required information. |
| | |
6. | CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT |
| | |
| The Company’s objective when managing capital is to maintain its ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. The Company includes equity, comprised of issued capital stock, contributed surplus and deficit, in the definition of capital. The Company’s primary objective with respect to its capital management is to ensure that it has sufficient cash resources to further develop and market its technologies and to maintain its ongoing operations. To secure the additional capital necessary to pursue these plans, the Company may attempt to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity and warrants 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 twelve months ended October 31, 2011. |

| c. | Loss per share |
| | | |
| | The diluted loss per share gives effect to the exercise of any option or warrant for which the exercise price is lower than the average market price during the year using the treasury stock method. The inclusion of the Company’s stock options, convertible debt and share purchase warrants in the computation of diluted loss per share would have an anti-dilutive effect on loss per share and they are therefore excluded from the computation. Consequently, there is no difference between basic loss per share and diluted loss per share. |

17. | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Cont’d) |
| | | |
| c. | Financial Risk Management |
| | | |
| | The Company is exposed to a variety of financial risks by virtue of its activities: market risk (including foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk) and liquidity risk. The overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on financial performance. Risk management is carried out under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Management is charged with the responsibility of establishing controls and procedures to ensure that financial risks are mitigated in accordance with the approved policies. |
| | | |
| | Market Risk: |
| | | |
| | i. | Foreign Exchange Risk: |
| | | |
| | | The Company currently incurs expenses in Canadian dollars. The total monetary financial instruments are in net liabilities position. The management monitors the Canadian net liability position on a periodic basis throughout the course of the year and adjusts the total net monetary liability balance accordingly. |
| | | |
| | | A 10% strengthening of the US dollars against Canadian dollars would have increased the net equity by $55,862 (2010 – $86,395) due to a reduction in the value of net liability balance. A 10% weakening of the US dollar against Canadian dollar at October 31, 2011 would have had the equal but opposite effect. |
| | | |
| | ii. | Interest Rate Risk: |
| | | |
| | | Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flow of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. |
| | | |
| | | Financial assets and financial liabilities with variable interest rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, and promissory note receivable earn interest at market rates. The Company manages its interest rate risk by maximizing the interest income earned on excess funds while maintaining the liquidity necessary to conduct operations on a day-to-day basis. Fluctuations in market rates of interest may have an impact on the Company’s results of operations. |
| | | |
| | | The Company is exposed to interest price risk on its interest bearing bridge loans as the interest rate is fixed. |

17. | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Cont’d) |
Liquidity Risk:
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as they fall due.
The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipated investing and financing activities. Senior management is actively involved in the review and approval of planned expenditures.
All financial liabilities are due within 1 year from the balance sheet at October 31, 2011.
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 and cash equivalents, deposit and other receivables. The carrying amount of financial assets represents maximum credit exposure.
As at October 31, 2011, the Company reports a working capital deficiency of $1,047,228 and has certain financial commitments (Note 15), the majority of which are due within one year. It must continue to raise financing in order to meet its current obligations.
18. | RECONCILIATION BETWEEN CANADIAN GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (“CANADIAN GAAP”) AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (“U.S. GAAP”) |
| | |
| The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP which, in the case of the Company, conforms in all material respects with U.S. GAAP except for the accounting for development costs, intangible assets, prior valuations of Unit private placements, warrant modification and modification of conversion feature of bridge loans. These are discussed below: |
| | |
| a. | Development costs: |
| | |
| | Under U.S. GAAP, all development costs are expensed as incurred. Under Canadian GAAP, development costs that meet criteria for deferral are capitalized. |

18. | RECONCILIATION BETWEEN CANADIAN GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (“CANADIAN GAAP”) AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (“U.S. GAAP”) (Cont’d) |
| | |
| b. | Intangible assets: |
| | |
| | Under U.S. GAAP, intangible asset costs relating to technology are generally expensed as they do not meet capitalization criteria. Under Canadian GAAP, intangible asset costs that meet criteria for deferral are capitalized. |
| | |
| c. | Valuation of Unit private placements: |
| | |
| | During the year ended October 31, 2009, the Company, for Canadian GAAP purposes, started estimating the value of common shares and the warrants included in the Unit private placement financings using relative fair value method. It assigned a value to the warrants which formed part of these Unit private placements calculated in accordance with the Black Scholes option pricing model. |
| | |
| | Under U.S. GAAP, the valuation of the shares and warrants have always been determined using the relative fair value approach. The above difference has no effect on aggregate shareholders’ equity. |
| | |
| d. | Warrant modification: |
| | |
| | The warrants that were modified were initially classified as a component of stockholders’ equity. At the modification date, the fair value of the warrants was calculated immediately before and after the modification. Under U.S. GAAP this amount has been recorded as an increase to paid in capital, and a decrease to retained earnings. This is considered a benefit to the warrant holders at the expense of the general common shareholders. As such, it is a “deemed dividend” under U.S. GAAP and included in the determination of net loss applicable to common stockholders. Under Canadian GAAP this cost is included below net loss in the determination of shareholders' equity. |
| | |
| e. | Modification of the conversion feature of bridge loans: |
| | |
| | During the year, certain convertible debt arrangements were modified, Loans 1 and 3. In accordance with ASC 470-50-40-10 “Debt Modification and Extinguishments”, the removal and addition of conversion features automatically indicate that the modification of the debt was substantial, and should be treated as an extinguishment, and an issuance of new debt. To the extent that the carrying value of the extinguished instruments is different, a gain or loss would be recognized. The carrying value of the extinguished debt instruments was not materially different from the modified debt instrument; as such no gain or loss was recorded. |

| | Hence, there was no difference between Canadian and U.S. GAAP. Under Canadian GAAP guidance, Loan 1 was treated as an extinguishment and an issuance of new debt, however the carrying value of the extinguished debt instrument was not materially different from the original carrying value, as such no gain or loss was recorded. Under Canadian GAAP guidance, Loan 3 did not meet the criteria for extinguishment and an issuance of new debt as such it is treated as a renegotiation of debt and all previously determined adjustments of the original debt are maintained. |
| | |
| | The conversion feature change with regards to the debt must be analyzed to determine if it should be separated from the debt host contract. Per U.S. GAAP guidance, regarding Loan 1 and Loan 3, the conversion feature is not an embedded derivative that requires separation. These loans were also analyzed to determine if a beneficial conversion feature exists that must be accounted for separately. It was determined that no beneficial conversion feature exists on these loans under U.S. GAAP. Under Canadian GAAP a value of $185,564 was recorded to retained earnings with an offsetting charge to contributed surplus to reflect the value of the more favourable conversion features (Note 11 (e)). |

| | In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820)-Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value” (ASU 2009-05). ASU 2009-05 provides guidance in measuring the fair value of a liability when a quoted price in an active market does not exist for an identical liability or when a liability is subject to restrictions on its transfer. The adoption of this accounting standard had no impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. |
| | |
| | In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09 Subsequent Events (ASC Topic 855) - Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements (ASU 2010-09). ASU No. 2010-09 requires an entity that is an SEC filer to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued and removes the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date, in both issued and revised financial statements, through which the filer had evaluated subsequent events. The adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. |
| | |
| | In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-17 (ASU 2010-17), Revenue Recognition - Milestone Method (Topic 605). ASU 2010-17 provides guidance on applying the milestone method of revenue recognition in arrangements with research and development activities. The amendments in this Update are effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. |

| h. | Recent US accounting pronouncements not adopted |
| | |
| | In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-13, "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades," or ASU 2010-13. This ASU provides amendments to Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity's equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company is currently in the process of determining the impact, if any, of adoption of the provisions of ASU 2010-13. |

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-29, “BusinessCombinations (Topic 805) — Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations”(“ASU 2010-29”). This standard update clarifies that, when presenting comparative financial statements, SEC registrants should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the current period business combinations had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The update also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, non-recurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. ASU 2010-29 is effective prospectively for material (either on an individual or aggregate basis) business combinations entered into in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2010 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of determining the impact, if any, of adoption of the provisions of ASU 2010-29.
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2011-04, Topic 820 -Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs(“ASU 2011-04”), which amends current fair value measurement and disclosure guidance to converge with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and provides increased transparency around valuation inputs and investment categorization. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application by public companies is not permitted. The Company is currently in the process of determining the impact, if any, of the adoption of the provisions of ASU 2011-04.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Topic 220 -Presentation of ComprehensiveIncome(“ASU 2011-05”), which requires an entity to present total comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements and eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is currently in the process of determining the impact, if any, of the adoption of the provisions of ASU 2011-05.

18. | RECONCILIATION BETWEEN CANADIAN GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (“CANADIAN GAAP”) AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (“U.S. GAAP”) (Cont’d) |
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Topic 350 -Intangibles - Goodwill and Other ("ASU 2011-08"), which amends Topic 350 to allow an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. An entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. This guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill tests performed for years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of determining the impact, if any, of the adoption of the provisions of ASU 2011-08.
In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-12, Topic 220 -Comprehensive Income("ASU 2011-12"), which indefinitely deferred certain provisions of ASU 2011-05, including the requirement to present reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component in both the statement in which net income is presented and the statement in which other comprehensive income is presented. This amendment is effective for both annual and interim financial statements beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is currently in the process of determining the impact, if any, of the adoption of the provisions of ASU 2011-12.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Topic 2010 -Balance Sheet("ASU 2011-11"), which contains new disclosure requirements regarding the nature of an entity's rights of set off and related arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments. Under U.S. GAAP, certain derivative and repurchase agreement arrangements are granted exceptions from the general off-setting model. To facilitate comparison between financial statements prepared under U.S. GAAP and IFRS, the new disclosure requirement will provide financial statement users information regarding both gross and net exposures. This guidance is effective for annual and interim financial statements beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Retrospective application is required. The Company is currently in the process of determining the impact, if any, of the adoption of the provisions of ASU 2011-11.
