1. | Description of business, fresh start accounting, comparative figures and basis of presentation |
Description of business
SR Telecom Inc. (SR Telecom or the Company) was incorporated on February 17, 1981, under the Canada Business Corporations Act. SR Telecom designs, delivers and deploys advanced, field-proven Broadband Fixed Wireless Access solutions. SR Telecom products are used by large telephone and Internet service providers to supply broadband data and carrier-class voice services to end-users in urban, suburban and remote areas around the globe. SR Telecom also provides full turnkey services to its customers. Most of SR Telecom’s sales are international, with its fixed wireless systems currently being used by telecommunications service providers worldwide. These customers include large incumbent local exchange carriers in the countries they serve, as well as competitive local exchange carriers and private operators of telecommunications systems. On February 1, 2007, the Company announced the closing of the sale of its majority-owned subsidiary, Comunicacion y Telefonia Rural S.A. (CTR) (see note 12).
Fresh start basis of accounting
On November 30, 2005, pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Debentures, a $10.0 million principal amount of the Convertible Debentures and accrued interest payable in kind thereon were converted on a pro rata basis among all holders of Convertible Debentures into approximately 47.3 million common shares at the conversion price of approximately $0.217 per common share. Immediately after the conversion, the holders of the Convertible Debentures held approximately 72.9% of the then outstanding common shares. This conversion resulted in a substantial realignment of the interests in the Company between the creditors and shareholders. As a result, effective November 30, 2005, the date of the conversion, the Company adopted fresh start accounting. Accordingly, the Company reclassified the deficit that arose prior to the conversion to a separate account within shareholders’ equity and re-valued its assets and liabilities to their estimated fair values. The revaluation adjustments have been accounted for as a capital transaction and are recorded within the pre-fresh start accounting deficit.
Comparative figures
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified in order to conform to the presentation adopted in 2007. The Company has restated financial information for the previous periods to reflect the sale of CTR, which is now shown as discontinued operations (note 12).
Basis of presentation
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and include the accounts of SR Telecom Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent liabilities in these financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for items and matters such as, amongst others, long-term contracts, allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, inventory obsolescence, product warranty, amortization, asset valuations, impairment assessments, taxes, restructuring, stock based compensation and other provisions and contingencies.
Except as disclosed in note 3, the accounting policies used in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are the same as those described in previous annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP for the periods ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and November 30, 2005. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the aforementioned financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented, except for the restructuring, asset impairment and other charges discussed in note 11. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily reflective of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.
These unaudited financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP applicable to annual audited financial statements.

2. Going concern uncertainty
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will continue operations for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
There is substantial doubt about the appropriateness of the use of the going concern assumption because of the Company’s losses for the current and prior years, negative cash flows, reduced availability of supplier credit and lack of operating credit facilities. As such, the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business are subject to significant uncertainty.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company realized a net loss of $12.2 million ($115.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006) and used cash of $12.4 million ($45.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006) in its continuing operating activities. Going forward, the Company will continue to require substantial funds as it continues the development of its WiMAX product offering.
The Company has taken the following steps to address the going concern uncertainty:
On February 1, 2007, the Company completed the sale of the shares of its Chilean subsidiary, CTR, for proceeds of nil (see note 12). As part of this transaction, the Company has been fully released from all of its obligations with respect to CTR, including liabilities in respect of loans to CTR amounting to approximately US$28.0 million for which SR Telecom was guaranteeing up to US$12.0 million. The divestiture of this non-core asset marked another important step in the Company’s plan to strengthen its financial position by streamlining its balance sheet and focus on its WiMAX strategy.
On March 6, 2007, the Company concluded the conversion/redemption of the remaining Convertible Debentures, allowing for the release of $4.7 million of restricted cash.
On April 12, 2007, the Company closed the sale and leaseback of its property located in Montréal (Québec), Canada for gross proceeds of $8.6 million.
On April 16, 2007, the Company announced a plan to reorganize its internal operations, including the wind-up of legacy product operations and centralization of activities. In conjunction with the implementation of this plan, the Company will be eliminating approximately 75 positions worldwide.
On July 3, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with a syndicate of lenders comprised of shareholders of the Company providing for a term loan of up to $45.0 million, of which $35.0 million will be drawn at closing and an additional $10.0 million will be available for drawdown for a period of up to one year from closing (see note 16, subsequent events).
The Company’s successful execution of its business plan is dependent upon a number of factors that involve risks and uncertainties. In particular, the development and commercialization of both fixed and mobile WiMAX are key elements of the Company’s strategic plan and of its future success and profitability. If either or both of fixed and/or mobile WiMAX prove not to be commercially viable or less commercially viable than is currently anticipated or compared to alternative solutions, or if the Company’s WiMAX products are less commercially viable or competitive than those developed by other companies, the Company will experience significant adverse effects on its liquidity, financial condition and ability to continue as a going concern.
The consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that would be necessary if the going concern basis was not appropriate. If the going concern basis was not appropriate for these consolidated financial statements, significant adjustments would be necessary in the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses, and the balance sheet classifications used.
3. | Adoption of new accounting policies |
Financial instruments
The CICA issued Section 3855 of the CICA Handbook, Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement, which describes the standards for recognizing and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities and non-financial derivatives. This section requires that (i) all financial assets be measured at fair value, with some exceptions such as loans and receivables and investments that are classified as held to maturity, (ii) other financial liabilities be measured at amortized

(all tabular amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars except where otherwise stated)
cost or classified as held for trading purposes, and (iii) all derivative financial instruments be measured at fair value, even when they are part of a hedging relationship. The CICA also reissued Section 3860 (as Section 3861) of the CICA Handbook, Financial Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation, which establishes standards for presentation of financial instruments and non-financial derivatives, and identifies the information that should be disclosed about them. These revisions come into effect for years beginning on or after October 1, 2006. The Company adopted these new sections effective January 1, 2007.
As of January 1, 2007, the Company has classified its cash and cash equivalents and its restricted cash as held for trading. The Company also classified its accounts receivable, and long-term receivables as loans and receivables, which are measured at amortized cost. The accounts payable and accrued liabilities, customer advances, credit facility, convertible term loan and long-term debt were all classified as other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost.
As a result of adopting Section 3855, the Company’s deferred financing costs on the credit facility and convertible term loan, previously presented in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet, were reclassified against long-term debt as of January 1, 2007. In addition, completion fees on the credit facility and convertible term loan, previously presented in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the balance sheet, were also reclassified to long-term debt as of January 1, 2007. As a result of the application of Section 3855, $0.3 million was credited to opening deficit as at January 1, 2007 to reflect the difference between the straight-line and the effective interest methods of amortization.
Furthermore, as a result of adopting Section 3855, the Company’s long-term accounts receivable were discounted to their amortized cost as at January 1, 2007. $0.6 million was debited to opening deficit as at January 1, 2007 to reflect the difference between the amortized cost and the carrying value of the long-term accounts receivable.
In accordance with the transitional provisions, prior periods were not restated as a result of adopting this new accounting standard.
Hedges
The CICA issued Section 3865 of the CICA Handbook, Hedges. The section is effective for years beginning on or after October 1, 2006. It describes when and how hedge accounting may be applied. Hedging is an activity used by a company to change an exposure to one or more risks by creating an offset between changes in the fair value of a hedged item and a hedging item, changes in the cash flows attributable to a hedged item and a hedging item, or changes resulting from a risk exposure relating to a hedged item and a hedging item. Hedge accounting changes the normal basis for recording gains, losses, revenues and expenses associated with a hedged item or a hedging item in a company’s statement of operations. It ensures that all offsetting gains, losses, revenues and expenses are recorded in the same period. The adoption of Section 3865 as of January 1, 2007 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Comprehensive income
The CICA issued Section 1530 of the CICA Handbook, Comprehensive Income. The section is effective for years beginning on or after October 1, 2006. It describes how to report and disclose comprehensive income and its components.
Comprehensive income is the change in a company’s net assets that results from transactions, events and circumstances from sources other than just the company’s shareholders. It includes items that would be excluded from net earnings, such as changes in the currency translation adjustment relating to self-sustaining foreign operations, the unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale investments and the unrealized gains and losses on derivatives in cash flow hedging relationships.
The CICA also made changes to Section 3250 of the CICA Handbook, Surplus, and reissued it as Section 3251, Equity. The section is also effective for years beginning on or after October 1, 2006. The changes in how to report and disclose equity and changes in equity are consistent with new requirements of Section 1530, Comprehensive Income.
The adoption of these sections on January 1, 2007 required the Company to start reporting, to the extent that they are relevant, the following items in the consolidated financial statements:
Ø Comprehensive income and its components
Ø Accumulated other comprehensive income and its components

4. | Accounts receivable, net |
In December 2001, SR Telecom filed a statement of claim in New York for US$4.9 million against MCI International and Telecommunications d'Haiti, S.A.M. (Teleco de Haiti). The claim was filed pursuant to a clause mandating three-party arbitration before the International Court of Arbitration in respect of funds that ceased flowing to SR Telecom under a Tripartite Agreement between Teleco de Haiti, MCI International and SR Telecom. The agreement provided for the financing of a contract between SR Telecom and Teleco de Haiti pursuant to which SR Telecom was to supply and install certain telecommunications equipment to Teleco de Haiti for approximately US$12.9 million. Following various proceedings and actions during 2002 to 2006, the Company determined that the most likely outcome would not result in the full recovery of the receivable and accordingly recorded a provision for doubtful accounts in the amount of $3.1 million (US$2.7 million). |
In March 2007, SR Telecom reached a settlement with MCI and Teleco de Haiti in the amount of $2.3 million
(US$2.0 million). SR Telecom received the settlement amount in late-March 2007.

6. | Credit facility |
On May 19, 2005, SR Telecom entered into a US dollar denominated Credit Agreement providing for a credit facility of up to US$39.6 million with a syndicate of lenders, amount which was fully drawn as at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. The credit facility was revolving until October 1, 2006, followed by a non-revolving term that extends to October 2, 2011. The credit facility is secured by a first priority lien on all of the existing and after-acquired assets of the Company. The interest on the credit facility is comprised of a cash portion, which is the greater of 6.5% and the three-month US Dollar LIBOR rate plus 3.85%, and additional interest payable in kind, which is the greater of 7.5% and the three-month US Dollar LIBOR rate plus 4.85%. As of February 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with the syndicate of lenders whereby the cash portion of the interest would be payable in kind until December 2007. |
7. | Convertible term loan |
On December 16, 2006, the Company obtained a $20.0 million convertible term loan from a syndicate of lenders comprised of shareholders of the Company. The convertible term loan bears cash interest at a rate equal to the greater of 6.5% or the three-month US dollar LIBOR rate plus 3.85% and additional interest that may be paid in cash or in kind, at the option of the Company, at a rate equal to the greater of 7.5% or the three-month US dollar LIBOR rate plus 4.85%. As of February 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with the syndicate of lenders whereby the cash portion of the interest would be payable in kind until December 2007. The convertible term loan has a five-year term and is secured by the assets of the Company, subordinated only to the existing credit facility. The holders of the convertible term loan have the right to convert, at any time, the convertible term loan, all “in kind” interest and other accrued but unpaid interest thereon, into common shares of the Company at the conversion rate of $0.17 per common share. In accordance with GAAP, the convertible term loan was accounted for on the basis of its substance and is presented in its component parts of debt and equity. |
8. | Convertible redeemable secured debentures |
In accordance with GAAP, the convertible debentures were accounted for on the basis of their substance and were presented in their component parts of debt and equity. On February 14, 2007, the Company announced that it would redeem its outstanding 10% convertible debentures on March 6, 2007 for an amount equal to $1,038.63 per $1,000 of principal amount, representing the principal amount plus $38.63 of accrued but unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. Up to the redemption date, debenture holders had the |

option to convert all or a portion of their convertible debentures and accrued but unpaid interest thereon into common shares at an effective rate of $0.15 per common share. Prior to March 6, 2007, $2.0 million convertible debentures, including accrued but unpaid interest thereon were converted into 13,181,651 common shares. The Company accounted for these conversions as induced early conversions, with the number of shares issued from the conversion being measured at $0.217 per common share, as per the original terms of the convertible debentures, and additional shares issued to induce the conversion being measured at fair value. The resulting debt settlement gain of $0.1 million is included in financing expenses and incremental conversion costs of $0.9 million are included in deficit. On March 6, 2007, the Company redeemed $0.7 million of convertible debentures and accrued but unpaid interest thereon for $0.8 million. The Company accounted for this redemption as an early redemption of debt, with the consideration paid on extinguishment being allocated to the debt and equity component parts of the convertible debentures. The resulting gain of $0.05 million relating to the debt component is included in financing expenses and the resulting cost of $0.04 million relating to the equity component is included in deficit. As at March 6, 2007, there were no outstanding 10% convertible redeemable secured debentures. |

Swing product line
Effective December 1, 2005, the Company sold substantially all of the assets and operations of its subsidiary in France, as well as its Australian subsidiary to a subsidiary of Duons Systèmes of Paris, France (Purchaser). With this transaction, the Company effectively disposed of its Swing product line operations.

During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company earned royalties of $0.3 million ($0.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2006). The pre-tax earnings (loss) and net earnings (loss) of discontinued operations also include such results.
13. | Contingencies |
The Company included in its accounts payable and accrued liabilities or income taxes payable, as at March 31, 2007 and as at December 31, 2006, management’s best estimate of the outcome of several litigations, described as follows:
Future Communications Company (“FCC”) Litigation
The dispute with FCC relates to the alleged improper drawdown by SR Telecom USA, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, of a letter of credit, opened by FCC, with the Bank of Kuwait and the Middle East, and the alleged refusal by SR Telecom USA, Inc. to accept return of inventory provided to FCC. The Kuwait Appeal Court rejected the appeal, filed on March 2, 2005, and the Company appealed this decision to the highest of the Kuwait Courts on July 4, 2005. On January 7, 2007, the Kuwait Appeal Court handed down its decision which was in favor of FCC for an amount of US$1.0 million plus court fees.
Employee Related Litigation
As a result of past restructuring efforts, certain employees were terminated and given notices and severances according to local labour laws. Some of these employees are claiming that they did not receive an appropriate amount of severance and/or notice period. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against these claims with all available defences.
Tax matters
In the normal course of business, the Company’s tax returns are subject to examination by various domestic and foreign taxing authorities. Such examinations may result in future tax and interest assessments on the Company. The Company has received notice of assessments by foreign governments for sales taxes and corporate taxes, and by Canadian and provincial governments for research and development tax credits relating to prior years. The Company has reviewed these assessments and determined the likely amounts to be paid. Such amounts have been accrued in their respective classification on the statement of operations, including research and development expenses, income tax expense and selling, general and administrative expenses.
General
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not currently involved in any additional litigation that, in management's opinion, would have a materially adverse effect on its business, cash flows, operating results or financial condition; however, there can be no assurance that any such proceeding will not escalate or otherwise become material to the Company's business in the future.

a) Term Loan
On July 3, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with a syndicate of lenders comprised of shareholders of the Company providing for a term loan of up to $45.0 million, of which $35.0 million will be drawn at closing and an additional $10.0 million will be available for drawdown for a period of up to one year from closing. The term loan has a five-year term and is subject to the same security as the existing loans under the credit facility, but ranking senior to the existing loans. The term loan bears cash interest at a rate equal to the greater of 6.5% or the three-month US dollar LIBOR rate plus 3.85% and additional interest that may be paid in cash or in kind, at the option of the Company, at a rate equal to the greater of 7.5% or the three-month US dollar LIBOR rate plus 4.85%. The cash portion of the interest will be payable in kind until December 2008. A payout fee of 5% of the term loan will be paid to lenders upon repayment or maturity of the loan. Closing of the transaction occurred on July 3, 2007.

(all tabular amounts are in thousands of Canadian dollars except where otherwise stated)
In connection with entering into this new term loan, the syndicate of lenders has agreed to amend certain terms of the initial advances under the credit facility and the convertible term loan. The maturity date has been amended to match the maturity date of this new financing, and the cash portion of the interest will be payable in kind until December 2008.
In addition, amendments were also made to the terms of the credit facility and the convertible term loan for the portion of the debt held by two of the lenders. A conversion right was granted to these two lenders whereby their respective portions would be convertible into common shares of the Company. As well, the conversion price of the portion of the convertible term loan held by one of the lenders was amended.
b) Sale of property
On April 12, 2007, the Company closed the sale of its property located in Montréal (Québec), Canada for gross proceeds of $8.6 million.
The property sold consisted of land with a net book value of $2.0 million and buildings with a net book value of $3.0 million as at March 31, 2007. The land and building did not qualify to be presented as held for sale at year-end given that a significant portion is being leased back.
The Company will leaseback a significant portion of the sold property for a term of 10 years at a rate of approximately $0.6 million per year. In accordance with GAAP, the Company will be accounting for the leaseback of the property as an operating lease. The Company realized a gain on sale of property of $3.6 million in the second quarter of 2007, which will be entirely deferred and amortized over the term of the lease as per GAAP. As part of the lease agreement, the Company is to provide a security deposit of three month’s rent to be returned, proportionately, at the end of the third, fourth and fifth year of the lease. In addition, the purchaser will holdback three months’ rent from the proceeds as additional security deposit to be returned at the earliest of when the Company completes two consecutive profitable quarters or the end of the lease term.
