D.             Risk Factors

We and our investors face a number of risks, which are described below.

Risk Factors Related to Our Business

The financial statements of our company have been prepared on a going concern basis.

We have prepared our financial statements on a “going concern” basis which presumes that we will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the successful commercialization of our sensor technology platforms that we currently have under development with our industry partners. Ultimately we must achieve a profitable level of operation through licensing fees, royalties and the commercial sale of our products. We will require additional financing in the interim to fund our activity.

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of the assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in business. If the going concern assumption was not appropriate for our financial statements then adjustments would be necessary in the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the balance sheet classifications used. Such adjustments could be material.

At October 31, 2013 we had $821,283 cash on hand and our current monthly cash expenses were approximately $175,000. Our working capital position is $425,888 at October 31, 2013. Subsequent to October 31, 2013, through to the date of the filing of this annual report, we have raised an additional $1,751,924 through the exercise of warrants. Additionally in January 2014 the bridge loan of $290,014 reported as of October 31, 2013 was converted to common equity.

We currently have no operating revenue.

We have not yet reported commercial revenues from licensing fees, royalties or product sales. If we fail to enter into license agreements or if we do not obtain purchase orders from potential customers, we will have no revenues. If we enter into such agreements the amount of the revenues we receive will depend on the terms we are able to secure from each licensee and the ability of licensees to compete in their particular market.

7


There are market risks relating to the sale of our sensor technology platforms.

We continued to develop applications of our magnetic sensor technology in 2013 working with our technical advisors, and our strategic development partners. We are pursuing joint development agreements with potential strategic partners with the expectation that we will jointly develop sensor applications for use by these potential strategic partners. We believe that these current initiatives will result in revenues and cash flow to the Company in the future but there can be no assurance when and if such revenues will be achieved.

We may face competition from larger corporations which also sell sensor technology and who have greater financial resources than the Company.

Our success will in part be determined by the following factors which have not yet been fully and completely tested nor measured: the ability of manufacturers to incorporate the technology into existing manufacturing capabilities without significant retooling and material costs, price competitiveness and the differential performance advantages of our technology.

Additionally our ability to compete successfully will depend on elements outside of our control, including the rate at which customers incorporate our technology into their products, the success of such customers in selling those products, our protection of our intellectual property, the number, nature and success of our competitors and their product introductions and general market and economic conditions. Our success will depend on our ability protect our intellectual property, to develop, introduce, and license or sell in a timely manner our technology or products incorporating our technology and to compete effectively on the basis of factors such as speed, density, die size and power consumption.

We are not actively pursuing further development of our memory technology.

Until 2008 our Company was positioned as a developer of memory technology, specifically our Magnetic Random Access Memory (MRAM), which is a non-volatile memory technology that uses magnetic, thin film elements on a gallium arsenide substrate to store information.

Beginning in 2008 we began to shift our focus to the development of sensor based technology solutions. By 2011, we decided to no longer pursue memory technology. We wrote off all costs associated with our memory technology by 2011. We are currently attempting to sell our interests in our memory related intellectual property. To date we have not been successful in attracting a buyer for this intellectual property and there can be no assurance that we will secure a buyer.

Failure to secure continued financing will cause our business to suffer.

Since there is no assurance that commercial revenues will be realized in future, we will need additional financing to continue our development and to successfully market our technology to potential licensees and strategic partners.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to raise sufficient financing in the future and the failure to do so would affect our ability to further develop our technology platforms and to market our products to existing and new potential customers.

Because much of our success and value depends on our ownership and use of intellectual property, our failure to protect our property could adversely affect our future growth and success.

Our success will depend on our ability to protect our intellectual property. We rely primarily on patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as nondisclosure agreements and other methods to protect our proprietary technology and processes. Despite our efforts to do so, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain and use our products or technology, develop similar technology independently or design around our patents. Policing unauthorized use of our products is expensive and difficult, and we cannot be certain that all required steps we have taken will prevent misappropriation or infringement of our intellectual property.

8


Intellectual property claims against us, no matter how groundless, could cause our business to suffer.

Our future success and competitive position depend in part on our ability to retain rights to our technology, including any improvements that may be made on that technology from time to time by us or on our behalf. Our technology is patented or is subject to pending patent applications in the United States and abroad and we know of no challenge that has been made either against our technology or our rights to it. We have no reason to believe that any such challenge might be made or that the grounds for any such challenge exist. If any intellectual property litigation were to be commenced against us, no matter how groundless, the result could be a significant expense to us, adversely affecting further development, licensing and sales, diverting the efforts of our technical and management personnel and, in the event of an adverse outcome, damages and possible restrictions on the further development, licensing and use of our technology. There can be no assurance that any of our pending patent applications will be issued as patents or that any issued patent will not be determined to be invalid at a later date.

We have a history of losses, and we may continue to generate losses in future.

To date, we have operated as a product development company and have not been profitable. Unless and until we are able to successfully commercialize our technology applications, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenues in future periods and we may not be able to attain profitability.

The further development of our sensor technology may require significant additional capital which we may have to fund directly if we are unable to secure financing from development partners. Therefore, we may incur expenses without receiving equal and offsetting revenues at least until we are able to license our technology to third parties. This may result in net operating losses until we can generate an acceptable level of revenues. Further, even if we achieve operating revenues, there can be no assurance that such revenues will be sufficient to fund continuing operations.

The likelihood of the success of our business plan must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with developing and expanding early stage businesses and the competitive environment in which we operate.

We will be dependent upon the success of a limited range of products.

The range of products we intend to commercialize is currently limited to applications of our sensor technology. If we are not successful in commercializing our technology platforms, or if there is not adequate demand for such technology or the market for such technology develops less rapidly than we anticipate, we may not have the capability to shift our resources to the development of alternative products, on a timely basis. This could limit future revenues and profitability.

We may not realize income from the licensing of our technologies if our licensees fail to commercialize the products that incorporate these technologies.

In order to generate revenues from our sensor technology platforms, we will need to enter into licensing arrangements with third parties who can integrate our technology into products that will gain acceptance in the market. We have not yet entered into any licensing agreements, and there is no assurance that we will be able to do so on acceptable terms in future. To the extent we are successful in licensing our technology; in general we will seek upfront payments plus ongoing royalties based on anticipated commercial sales of the products into which our technology is incorporated. Our ability to realize royalties will thus depend upon the successful manufacture and commercialization of such products, which will be primarily within the control of the licensee. There is no assurance that such licensees will be successful in marketing and selling such products. In addition, licensees could decide to delay or discontinue the commercialization of products for financial or other business reasons. Even if our licensees succeed in developing products that incorporate our technology, in all likelihood a significant amount of development and testing will be required before such products can be introduced to market. Therefore we may not receive royalty income for a substantial period following the commencement of any licensing arrangements. If our licensees are unable to commercialize products on a timely basis, they may lose market share to competing or alternative technologies. Any failure by the companies to which we license our technologies to successfully develop marketable products would have an adverse effect on our future royalty payments and financial condition.

9


In order to commercialize our future products, we will need to establish a sales and marketing capability.

At present, we have limited sales and marketing capability and our financial resources have been limited. We will need to add marketing and sales expertise and must also develop the necessary supporting distribution channels. Although we believe we can build the required infrastructure either in-house or through strategic relationships, we may not be successful in doing so. Failure to establish a sales force and distribution network would have an adverse effect on our ability to grow our business.

We depend on key personnel.

Our senior managers and employees are Joseph Fuda, who serves as our Chief Executive Officer; Steven Van Fleet, who has primary responsibility for business development and who serves as President of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Micromem Applied Sensor Technology Inc (MAST) and Dan Amadori, who serves as our Chief Financial Officer. We have engaged the services of several engineering/technical consulting firms to assist in converting our development efforts to commercialization. Our success depends on our ability to retain certain of our senior management and key technical personnel and our ability to attract and retain additional highly skilled personnel in the future.

We may be materially affected by global economic and political conditions.

Our ability to generate revenue may be adversely affected by uncertainty in the global economy and could also be affected by unstable global political conditions. Terrorist attacks or acts of war could significantly disrupt our operations and the operations of our future customers, suppliers, distributors, or resellers. We cannot predict the potential impact on our financial condition or our results of operations should such events occur.

We may be materially affected by rapid technological change and evolving industry standards.

Short product life cycles are inherent in high-technology companies due to rapid technological change and evolving industry standards. Our future financial condition and results of operations depend on our ability to respond effectively to these changes. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully do so or adapt our current products to new technologies or new industry standards. In addition, our customers may be reluctant to adopt new technologies and standards or they may prefer competing technologies and standards. Because the technology market changes so rapidly, it is difficult for us to predict the rate of adoption of our technology.

We may be materially affected by risks associated with new product development.

Our new product development is complex and requires us to investigate and evaluate multiple alternatives, as well as plan the design and manufacture of those alternatives selected for further development. Our development efforts could be adversely affected by hardware and software design flaws, product development delays, changes in operating systems and changes in industry standards. The manufacturing of new products involves integrating complex designs and processes, coordinating with suppliers for parts and components and managing manufacturing capacities to accommodate forecasted demand. If we are not successful in meeting these requirements, this could adversely affect our ability to introduce new products on a timely basis.

Our operations may be materially affected by the risks associated with the continued developments and protection of our intellectual property.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to develop new intellectual property or that we will continue to have it developed for us. We rely on a combination of U.S. patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secret laws to protect our intellectual property rights. We have decided to file patent and trademark registration applications with certain foreign governments but we may not have appropriate coverage in all jurisdictions where we may sell or license our product in future.

We enter into confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements relating to our intellectual property with our employees and consultants. Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain or use our intellectual property. Monitoring the unauthorized use of our intellectual property is difficult and we cannot be certain that we will be able to adequately protect our intellectual property in the future.

10


There are foreign exchange risks associated with our Company.

Because we have historically raised funds in both U.S. and Canadian markets and a portion of our costs are denominated in Canadian dollars, our funding is subject to foreign exchange risks. A decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar could affect our costs and potential future profitability. We do not currently hold forward exchange contracts or other hedging instruments to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. dollars so as to offset potential currency rate fluctuations.

Risk Factors Related to Our Common Shares

Our stock is subject to the penny stock regulations, which may discourage brokers from effecting transactions in the stock and adversely affect the stock's market price and liquidity

Our common shares constitute “penny stock” under applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The penny stock regulations impose significant restrictions on brokers who sell penny stock to persons other than established customers and institutional accredited investors. Broker-dealers participating in sales of our stock will be subject to the so called “penny stock” regulations covered by Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act. Under the rule, broker-dealers must furnish to all investors in penny stocks a risk disclosure document required by the rule, make a special suitability determination of the purchaser and have received the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. The penny stock regulations may discourage brokers from effecting transactions in the common shares. This would decrease market liquidity, adversely affect market price and make it difficult for you to use the common shares as collateral.

The rights of our shareholders may differ from the rights typically afforded to shareholders of a U.S. corporation.

We are incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), also referred to herein as the OBCA. The rights of holders of our common shares are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario, including the OBCA, by the applicable laws of Canada, and by our Articles of Incorporation and all amendments thereto, also referred to herein as the Articles, and our By-laws. These rights differ in certain respects from the rights of shareholders in typical U.S. corporations. The principal differences include without limitation the following:

Under the OBCA, we have a lien on any common share registered in the name of a shareholder or the shareholder's legal representative for any debt owed by the shareholder to us. Under U.S. state law, corporations generally are not entitled to any such statutory liens in respect of debts owed by shareholders.

With regard to certain matters, we must obtain approval of our shareholders by way of at least 662/3% of the votes cast at a meeting of shareholders duly called for such purpose being cast in favor of the proposed matter. Such matters include without limitation: (a) the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of our assets out of the ordinary course of our business; and (b) any amendments to our Articles including, but not limited to, amendments affecting our capital structure such as the creation of new classes of shares, changing any rights, privileges, restrictions or conditions in respect of our shares, or changing the number of issued or authorized shares, as well as amendments changing the minimum or maximum number of directors set forth in the Articles. Under U.S. state law, the sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of a corporation generally requires approval by a majority of the outstanding shares, although in some cases approval by a higher percentage of the outstanding shares may be required. In addition, under U.S. state law the vote of a majority of the shares is generally sufficient to amend a company's certificate of incorporation, including amendments affecting capital structure or the number of directors. Under certain circumstances the board of directors may also have the ability to change the number of directors under U.S. state law.

Pursuant to our By-laws, two persons present in person or represented by proxy and each entitled to vote thereat shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of shareholders. Under U.S. state law, a quorum generally requires the presence in person or by proxy of a specified percentage of the shares entitled to vote at a meeting, and such percentage is generally not less than one-third of the number of shares entitled to vote.

Under rules of the Ontario Securities Commission, a meeting of shareholders must be called for consideration and approval of certain transactions between a corporation and any “related party” (as defined in such rules). A “related party” is defined to include, among other parties, directors and senior officers of a corporation, holders of more than 10% of the voting securities of a corporation, persons owning a block of securities that is otherwise sufficient to affect materially the control of the corporation, and other persons that manage or direct, to a substantial degree, the affairs or operations of the corporation. At such shareholders' meeting, votes cast by any related party who holds common shares and has an interest in the transaction may not be counted for the purposes of determining whether the minimum number of required votes have been cast in favor of the transaction. Under U.S. state law, a transaction between a corporation and one or more of its officers or directors can generally be approved either by the shareholders or a by majority of the directors who do not have an interest in the transaction. Corporations that are listed on a U.S. securities exchange or are quoted on Nasdaq may also be required to have transactions with officers and directors and other related party transactions reviewed by an audit committee comprised of independent directors.

11


There is no limitation imposed by our Articles or other charter documents on the right of a non-resident to hold or vote our common shares. However, the Investment Canada Act , also referred to herein as the Investment Act, as amended by the World Trade Organization Agreement Implementation Act, also referred to herein as the WTOA Act, generally prohibits implementation of a reviewable investment by an individual, government or agency thereof, corporation, partnership, trust or joint venture that is not a “Canadian,” as defined in the Investment Act, unless, after review, the minister responsible for the Investment Act is satisfied that the investment is likely to be a net benefit to Canada. An investment in our common shares by a non-Canadian would be reviewable under the Investment Act if it were an investment to acquire direct control of Micromem, and the value of our assets were CDN $5.0 million or more. However, an investment in our shares by a national of a country (other than Canada) that is a member of the World Trade Organization or has a right of permanent residence in such a country (or by a corporation or other entity that is a “WTO Investor-controlled entity” pursuant to detailed rules set out in the Investment Act) would be reviewable at a higher threshold of CDN $344 million in assets, except for certain economic sectors with respect to which the lower threshold would apply. A non-Canadian, whether a national of a WTO member or otherwise, would acquire control of Micromem for purposes of the Investment Act if he or she acquired a majority of our common shares. The acquisition of less than a majority, but at least one-third of our common shares, would also be presumed to be an acquisition of control of Micromem, unless it could be established that Micromem was not controlled in fact by the acquirer through the ownership of voting shares. The United States is a WTO Member for purposes of the Investment Act. Certain transactions involving our common shares would be exempt from the Investment Act, including:

U.S. shareholders may not be able to enforce civil liabilities against us.

Micromem is incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario. Additionally, a number of our directors and executive officers are non-residents of the U.S., and all or a substantial portion of the assets of such persons are located outside the U.S. As a result, should any investor commence an action in the U.S. against Micromem or its directors or executive officers, Micromem or its directors or officers, as the case may be, may be able to insist that any action against them take place in the jurisdiction of the Province of Ontario. In addition, if an investor were to obtain a U.S. judgment against Micromem or its directors or executive officers, there is doubt as to the enforceability of such U.S. judgment in Canada.

We do not anticipate paying dividends.

We have never paid a dividend on our securities and we do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future.

We may need to issue additional securities which may cause our shareholders to experience dilution.

Our Board of Directors has the authority to issue additional common shares, without par value, or other of our securities without the prior consent or vote of our shareholders. The issuance of additional common shares would dilute the proportionate equity interest and voting power of our shareholders.

12


The price of our common shares and volume of our common shares may be volatile.

Our shareholders may be unable to sell a significant number of our common shares on the OTC Bulletin Board without a significant reduction in the market price of the shares.

Furthermore, there can be no assurance that we will be able to meet the listing requirements of, or achieve listing on, any other stock exchange. The market price of the common shares may be affected significantly by factors such as fluctuations in our operating results, announcements of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors, action by governmental agencies against us or the industry in general, developments with respect to patents or proprietary rights, public concern as to the safety of products developed by us or others, the interest of investors, traders and others in public companies such as ours and general market conditions. In recent years, the securities markets in the United States and Canada have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies, particularly small capitalization companies, have experienced fluctuations which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or business prospects of such companies.

ITEM 4.             INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

A. History and Development of Our Company

Micromem is a corporation formed under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, with principal executive offices at 121 Richmond Street West, Suite 304, Toronto, Ontario M5H 2K1 (416.364.6513) . Micromem was incorporated on October 21, 1985 as Mine Lake Minerals Inc. We subsequently changed our name to Avanti Capital Corp. on June 23, 1988, to Avanti Corp International Inc. on April 30, 1992 and to Micromem Technologies Inc. on January 11, 1999 in connection with our acquisition of Pageant Technologies Incorporated, also referred to herein as Pageant International. Our website address is www.micromeminc.com. The information on our website is not part of this annual report on Form 20-F. We have included our website address in this document as an inactive textual reference only.

The Evolution of Micromem from Memory to Sensor Based Client Solutions

Micromem Applied Sensors Technologies, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary (“MAST”) was incorporated in 2008 in the State of Delaware. MAST was formed in connection with a contract with BAE Systems in Nashua, New Hampshire. BAE Systems is a Department of Defense trusted facility, which can only do business with U.S. entities (ITAR regulations). BAE Systems’ interest was in the potential to utilize our MRAM technology in a radiation-hardened environment for military applications. At the time of contract, Micromem had not taken the MRAM from the university research environment into a foundry, so the initial contract with BAE Systems was to use the patented MRAM design and manufacture and deliver a memory cell from a GaAs foundry. During this work it was determined that the Hall sensor, which was integral to the MRAM design, had several performance characteristics that by itself, as a product, would potentially create value for MAST.

Frost & Sullivan was contracted by MAST in 2009 to assess the market opportunities for a late entry into the Hall sensor market. The Hall sensor market in 2009 was robust at an estimated $1.9 billion USD. The market barriers were: mature market, declining margins and heavy competition. A decision was taken to not enter the Hall sensor component market for the above reasons. A decision was taken to explore the market opportunities associated with creating unique sensor based solutions that revolved around our patented Hall sensor technology. The MRAM go forward strategy remained with Micromem.

An outside marketing firm was hired to promote the Company. It was quickly learned that the uniqueness of our products made a traditional marketing firm relationship ineffective and that relationship was terminated. Promotion of the Company reverted back to the development of a MAST website and word of mouth marketing at regional technical conferences. Through these endeavors, a decision was taken to internally develop, at our own cost, proof of concepts for products that we had gleaned through our marketing to have potential market value. These included a magnetic gold sensor for drilling plug analysis, an oil condition sensor for automotive use and an oil/gas aerial exploration platform. Provisional patents were created on this work.

A potential revenue-generating opportunity emerged in August 2010 when Lux Research contacted us on behalf of their client, a world leader in oil production. They were looking for companies that could create extremely small foot print magnetic sensor solutions for down hole use in production oil fields. MAST was subsequently engaged by this client to develop a sensor platform for detecting four nanometer magnetic particles in a flowing oil stream at a concentration less than 1 ppb. Another revenue generating opportunity came in 2011 from GSI Westwind, a supplier for high speed air bearing motors. MAST replaced the incumbent Hall sensor supplier and delivered a unique circuit board form factor that incorporated the smallest Hall sensor in the world.

13


It became clear at this point in the genesis of the Company that MAST had to find an effective means to disseminate its message to a larger market audience. It was now evident that a significant market space existed for companies that could leverage MEMS/Nano fabrication methodologies to create unique combinations of sensors to provide new solutions to business problems. In 2011 MAST became aware of the NineSigma Open Innovation model. Nine sigma’s core services connect innovation-seeking companies to the best solutions, capabilities and partners around the world. MAST's relationship with NineSigma has provided us common ground access to the Global Fortune 1000 companies and has resulted in a robust future sales proposal pipeline and the first time in the Company's history an ability to forecast revenue.

In 2011 a decision was taken to stop research and development effort in the MRAM market space. This decision was taken in part due to the high capital demand for staying current in the rapidly changing technology and equally important, the MRAM market has not grown at the anticipated growth rates. Micromem has amassed multiple memory patents and in 2013 has begun efforts to value the patent portfolio and arrange for a sale of these assets. Integral to the MRAM design is our patented Hall sensor. MAST is carrying this valuable device forward in many of our sensor platforms.

To date, Micromem has funded virtually all of our research and development. Our main priority is to provide customers with sensor based platform solutions that address their difficult business problems. A recent study by NineSigma states that less than 3% of the Fortune 1000 global companies admit that they have sufficient in house talent and knowledge to be able to take advantage of technologies that can help them improve their business. Our sensor platform solutions address three primary areas of creating value for our clients.

We intend to pursue specific, definable, market segments with a multi-tiered, multi-channel approach. We intend to leverage our technologies with a licensing agreement in certain key areas and a direct sales and distribution strategy in other areas using established distributors. Our sales and revenue plan includes looking to foreign markets through established distributors or strategic partners.

B. Business Overview

Prior to 2008 we were engaged in the development of memory technology. We deemphasized these continued efforts at that time and ceased all such activity by 2011. We have been actively developing our sensor technology platforms for multiple commercial applications since 2008.

Our technology combines the use of semi-conducting ferromagnetic metals with a sensor. When the magnetization of the magnetic material changes direction, the sensor senses the change in direction and records a “0” or “1”. In this fashion, a bit is created that is non-volatile, based on magnetic properties.

C. Profile at October 31, 2013

During 2013, the Company focused on moving its existing development projects forward, converting projects in its pipeline into development contracts with customers and establishing its product portfolio in its current major market verticals.

In 2013 we were successful in having certain of our development project costs partially funded by companies with whom we have negotiated product development contracts. We were also successful in securing approximately $3.7 million of new financing consisting of the issuance of unit private placement and the exercise of warrants. Since October 31, 2013 through to the date of this Annual Report, we have secured additional financing of $1,751,924 through the exercise of warrants.

Product Development Cycle:

The product development cycle for each development project that the Company undertakes can be broken down into distinct phases:

Phase 1: Initial assessment – completion of initial project plan, cost and volume estimates, product specifications and tolerances, establishing working principles.

Phase 2: Preliminary design work, specification of manufacturing processes, evaluation of manufacturing options.

Phase 3: Sensor electronics manufacturing test methods, completion of initial prototypes for beta testing by client.

Phase 4: Pilot production stage where product is certified, test protocols are established and quality processes are optimized.

Phase 5: Commercial production.

Product Portfolio:

The core portfolio of products that the Company continues to develop, in conjunction with strategic development partners, who are paying for a portion of the development costs, includes:

1.

Nano particle concentration sensor platforms: The initial application is to detect break through water in producing oil wells. This platform is at Phase 3 of development and is expected to move to Phase 4 in 2014, with commercial production expected by the 2014 fiscal year end. The Company has been working on this product with a major international oil company since 2010. The Company has billed and collected $175,000 of project costs incurred to date under these working arrangements.

   
2.

Enhanced secondary oil recovery platform using MAST nano particles: The initial application is to accurately measure well pressure in oil fields and the degradation of these fields. This platform is at Phase 3 of development. The Company initiated the work on Product 2 in 2012. In mid-2013 it executed a $25.4 million development contract with an international oil company for this product. The contract stipulates successive milestones to be achieved in order to realize the full contract value. In its initial stages, we have invoiced $87,290 of project costs incurred. The Company projects receiving payments against achieving milestones during 2014.

   
3.

Power transformer oil degradation sensor: Designed to measure partial electrical discharges and advise on preventive actions in real time. This platform is at Phase 1 stage. The Company expects that it will advance to Phase 4 during 2014.

   

The Company entered into an initial development contract with Northeast Utilities in December 2013 for $5.4 million for this product. The contract stipulates successive milestones to be achieved in order to realize the full contract value.

   
4.

Integrated Analytical Lab on a Chip in Automotive Oil Pan Plug: This platform is at a crossing point between Phase 3 and Phase 4. The Company expects to advance to commercial production in 2015 pending finalization of contractual terms with a major automotive company with whom it has been negotiating during 2013.

15



5.

Cement integrity sensor platform: The application is to have embedded sensor technology to permit direct assessment of the condition of cement casings in offshore oil and gas drilling. This platform is at Phase 1 stage. Over the next 18 months the Company expects to advance it to Phase 4.

   
6.

Fracking sensor platform: Nanotechnology sensors capable of measuring in three dimensions the coordinates of hydraulic fractures created in the fracking process. This platform is at Phase 1 stage. Over the next 18 months, the Company expects to advance it to Phase 4.

   

The Company began pursuing discussions on Products 5 and 6 in 2013 in conjunction with a major international oil company. Development contracts are anticipated to develop within 12 – 18 months.

   
7.

Corrosion under insulation sensor: Intended to measure pervasive corrosion of piping under insulation. This platform is at Phase 1 stage. The Company expects to advance it to Phase 4 during 2014.

   
8.

Sensors to analyze wear materials in lubricating fluids: Initial application is directed at vehicle microelectromechanical systems. This platform is at Phase 1 stage. The Company expects to advance to Phase 4 during 2014.

In addition to the above listed suite of products, the Company has advanced two other product offerings:

  (a)

The Company has developed a prototype production control board intended for GSI Westwind. This product was developed over a period of 24 months. In final testing during 2013, it met and exceeded all of the tolerance specifications stipulated by GSI. In October 2013 we were advised that GSI had decided to cease operations of their high speed DC motor development due to competitive technology pressures. Accordingly, the Company did not proceed with commercial production orders from GSI. As a result, we have decided to assess the broader marketplace for this product and have engaged one of our independent directors to conduct a detailed market study and an appropriate marketing campaign to engage other potential customers for this technology.

     
  (b)

The Company has committed development time and funding over the past three years to a sensor based breast cancer detection device. The work completed by the Company to date has put this product category at a Phase 2 level of development. In 2012 and in early 2013 the Company pursued discussions with a Croatian-based group of investors. It was intended that this group would fund ongoing development work in 2013 but those negotiations eventually stalled. Accordingly, at this juncture this product is not staged for further development work until the original investor group returns or other investors are identified.

Intellectual Property:

The Company has been active in building its intellectual property portfolio during 2013. Our new business model of developing unique sensor platforms for our clients allow for the Company to choose opportunities that end up with both robust revenue projections and a strong intellectual property position. We have engaged a Washington, D.C. based law firm to assist us in these efforts.

Development Costs:

Under IFRS, the Company capitalizes product development costs incurred on those development projects which it anticipates realizing future commercial revenues. It reports these development costs on its consolidated balance sheet. If the Company determines that the realization value is less than the carrying value reported in the consolidated balance sheet, the Company will write-down the carrying value accordingly.

The Company reported $928,077 as deferred development costs in its consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2013. These are costs that it has incurred with respect to these development projects and contracts that it continues to pursue in the immediate term and for which it expects to generate future revenue streams. These costs relate primarily to the following active projects:

  a)

The nanoparticle concentration sensor platform (Product 1);

     
  b)

The enhanced secondary oil recovery platform (Product 2);

     
  c)

The integrated analytical lab on a chip in the automotive oil pan plug platform (Product 3);

16



  d)

The power transformer oil degradation sensor (Product 4).

The changes in deferred development costs in 2013 are summarized as below:

Balance reported at October 31, 2012

$ 718,163  

Additional project costs incurred in fiscal 2013

  677,445  

Recovery of deferred development costs

  (233,290 )

Writedown of project costs

  ( 234,241 )

Balance reported at October 31, 2013

$ 928,077  

The costs recovered in 2013 from customers consist primarily of a $100,000 recovery on Product 1 and an $87,000 recovery on Product 2.

At October 31, 2013, the Company has written down to nominal value the development costs previously incurred with respect to the GSI Westwind project which was terminated in October 2013 as it continues to explore alternative markets for this product. It has also written down the development costs incurred with respect to the breast cancer detection sensor platform product which it had been developing for initial use in Eastern Europe and other costs relating to an aerial survey sensor platform – the Company has decided to no longer pursue these projects.

Derivative Warrant Liability:

In October 2013 the Company decided to convert all outstanding Canadian denominated warrants to US dollars and, in every case, the warrant holder accepted this conversion. The Company took this step because of the confusion that our shareholders expressed in interpreting the required treatment and reporting of our derivative warrant liability obligations (these are non-cash liabilities) under IFRS reporting. With this change and the decision to only issue warrants in the future which are denominated in US dollars, the derivative warrant liability is eliminated from our consolidated statement of financial position at October 31, 2013.

Changes to Our Board of Directors and Management:

Our 2012 Annual Meeting of shareholders was held on Friday, November 29, 2013. Salvatore Fuda, Andrew Brandt, Joseph Fuda, David Sharpless, Steven Van Fleet, Oliver Nepomuceno, Larry Blue and Alex Dey were reelected to serve on our Board of Directors. Messrs. Salvatore Fuda, Joseph Fuda, Dan Amadori and Steven Van Fleet continue to serve as officers of the Company. On December 1, 2013 Craig Carlson was appointed to serve on our Board of Directors.

Equity Financing Transactions:

In 2013 the Company completed a series of private placement financings with investors pursuant to prospectus and registration exemptions set forth in applicable securities laws. The Company received gross proceeds of $2,910,532 and issued a total of 16,106,957 common shares. Additionally 16,106,957 common share purchase warrants with an average price of $0.24 were attached to the private placements completed during 2013. All warrants issued in 2013 have a 12 month term from issue date.

The Company extended the expiration date on a total of 11,829,029 common share purchase warrants which would have otherwise expired in 2013. These warrants were extended for a period of 12 months in each case. The Company changed the strike price on 3,673,032 warrants extended from $0.17 to $0.21 and other strike prices remained unchanged.

In 2013, the Company repaid one bridge loan of $141,253. At October 31, 2013, it reports one outstanding bridge loan in the amount of $290,014. Subsequent to October 31, 2013 this bridge loan was converted into common shares and common share purchase warrants.

In the 2012 fiscal year, the Company completed a series of private placement financings with arms’ length investors. The Company received gross proceeds of $1,040,899 and issued a total of 6,344,899 common shares. In addition, a total of 6,344,899 common share purchase warrants with an average price of $0.17 were attached to the private placements completed during 2012. All warrants issued in 2012 have a 12 month term from issue date.

The Company extended the expiration date on a total of 15,267,087 common share purchase warrants which would have otherwise expired in 2012. The expiration dates were extended for a period of 6 to 12 months in each case from the original expiration date. The Company changed the strike price of 429,686 warrants from $1.20 to $0.80 and changed the strike price of 1,666,667 warrants from $0.15 to $0.19. Other strike prices remained unchanged.

 

17


In 2012 the Company secured four additional bride loans totaling $714,359; two of these loans were converted into common shares prior to October 31, 2012 through the issuance of 1,860,080 common shares valued at $226,900. At October 31, 2012, the balance outstanding on the two remaining term loans was $442,934.

Intangible Assets and Patents:

Intangible assets comprise the costs which the Company has capitalized relating to the technical expertise and know-how that the Company has developed with respect to the commercialization efforts relating to its sensor technology. In 2012, the Company determined that it had sufficiently advanced its expertise and product knowledge relating to the general commercialization efforts for its sensor technology in multiple industry vertical applications. We anticipate that we will realize commercial economic benefits from the exploitation of these intangible assets in future. Accordingly, we reported $96,761 (2012 = $116,113) of intangible assets at October 31, 2013, representing direct costs incurred with respect to such assets less amortization expense.

We believe that protection of our intellectual property is important to our ability to generate revenues from our technology in the future. We hold issued patents and pending patent applications have also entered into confidentiality and other agreements with third parties and our employees to protect our intellectual property and trade secrets. We intend to continue to actively pursue the protection of our intellectual property. Our management will determine from time to time the jurisdictions where protection is appropriate. This determination will be based on a number of factors including the state of development of our technology, the importance of a particular market for our technology, the costs of pursuing patent protection in a jurisdiction and our financial position at the time.

In 2013, we continued our activity with respect to advancing certain provisional patents relating to projects that are underway with current assignments and projects with our development partners as described above. We capitalized $44,825 of legal fees associated with this work.

With respect to our memory related patents for which we have no immediate plans to further develop, we began in 2013 to attempt to monetize these through the potential sale of such patents.

Environmental Matters:

We are subject to various environmental protection regulations imposed by the government in the jurisdiction where we conduct our development work. We are not aware of any current or pending environmental protection laws or regulations that would have a material impact on our capital expenditure requirements or competitive position.

Fiscal 2013 Compared to Fiscal 2012

The Company reported a loss of $5,933,928 in 2013 versus a loss of $ 1,775,065 in 2012. The increased loss was primarily the result of a non-cash loss on derivatives of $3,205,752 (2012: a non cash gain on derivatives of $1,504,423).

The Company’s working capital position improved significantly in 2013 in comparison to the prior year. This is the result of the Company’s success in raising additional financing in 2013, in reducing its expenses and also the result of eliminating the derivative warrant liability from its consolidated balance sheet in 2013.

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources:

Liquidity

We have not yet realized commercial revenues from the exploitation of our technology platforms. We currently have no cash flow from operations and will have none until we license or directly produce and sell products utilizing our technology platforms.

We currently have no lines of credit and must obtain equity financing from investors and from persons who hold outstanding options and warrants in order to meet our cash flow needs until we can generate revenues. At October 31, 2013 we had $821,283 cash on hand (2012: $245,029) and our monthly cash expenses approximated $175,000. Our working capital position at October 31, 2013 was $425,888 (2012: working capital deficiency of ($1,793,217)). Since October 31, 2013, we have raised an additional $1,751,924 through the exercise of common share purchase warrants. Additionally the outstanding bridge loan of $290,014 at October 31, 2013 was converted to common equity in January 2014.

We have granted to our directors, officers and other employees a number of options to purchase shares at prices that are at or above market price on the date of grant. None of the optionees has any obligation to exercise their options and there can be no guarantee that we will realize any funds from these options.

We have issued common share purchase warrants as part of the Unit private placement financings. None of the warrant holders have any obligation to exercise their warrants which, in general, expire 12 months after issuance if unexercised. There can be no guarantee that we will realize any funds from these outstanding warrants.

22


Capital Resources

We made $13,200 of capital expenditures in 2013 and made no expenditures on capital equipment during the 2012 and 2011 fiscal years.

C. Research and Development:

Under IFRS, research costs are expensed in the period incurred. Development expenses are expensed as incurred unless they meet the criteria for deferral and amortization under IFRS, which criteria is the translation of research findings or other knowledge into a plan for the technology prior to commercial production or use.

D. Trend Information:

The market applications for “smart” sensors is expanding; there are potential applications that could be utilized in virtually every industry vertical.

Our prospects for commercial revenues are dependent upon the successful completion of all milestones in the development contracts that we have renewed to date, obtaining additional development contracts with new customers and upon the customers deciding to proceed with commercial orders once these development contracts are successfully completed.

E. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements:

We are not party to any off-balance sheet arrangements except for operating lease commitments. In addition, we have no unconsolidated special purpose financing or partnership entities.

F. Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations:

A summary of our financial commitments as of October 31, 2013 is as below:

CFO   12,500

G. Critical Accounting Policies:

Our significant accounting policies are set forth in our consolidated financial statements, which should be read in conjunction with management's discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates set forth below.

Our consolidated financial statements for the period have been prepared in accordance with IFRS which, in our case conforms in all material respects with U.S. GAAP except for the accounting for development expenditures reported, for intangible assets, warrant modification and modification of the conversion feature of bridge loans reported in the fiscal years ended October 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.

We have not yet realized commercial revenues from the exploitation of our technology. Under IFRS, research costs are expensed in the period incurred. Development expenses are expensed as incurred unless they meet the criteria for deferral and amortization under IFRS which is the translation of research findings or other knowledge into a plan for the technology prior to commercial production or use. Under U.S. GAAP all development expenditures are expensed as incurred. As at October 31, 2013, the Company capitalized $928,077 (2012: $718,163) of development costs and capitalized $96,761 (2012: $116,113) as intangible assets under IFRS.

In the year ended October 31, 2011, the Company modified the expiration date of warrants which would have otherwise expired in 2011. Under U.S. GAAP, this amount has been recorded as an increase in paid in capital and a corresponding offset to retained earnings. Under IFRS, a charge of $293,020 is included below net loss in the determination of shareholders’ equity.

In the year ended October 31, 2011, the Company modified the conversion feature of two bridge loans. Under IFRS, the first loan was considered an extinguishment and issuance of new debt but no gain or loss was recognized as the carrying value of the extinguished debt was not materially different from the modified debt instrument. The second loan did not meet the criteria for extinguishment and as such was treated as a renegotiation. Under U.S. GAAP, the Company evaluated whether the change in conversion feature represented an embedded derivative that required separation. Under U.S. GAAP, no beneficial conversion feature exists and under IFRS a $185,564 charge was recorded to retained earnings with an offsetting charge to contributed surplus to reflect the value of the more favorable conversion feature.

Management is required to make estimates and assumptions which can affect the reported balances. In determining estimates of net recoverable amounts and net realizable values, or whether there has been a permanent impairment in value, we rely on assumptions regarding applicable industry performance and prospects, as well as general business and economic conditions that prevail and are expected to prevail. Assumptions underlying asset valuations are limited by the availability of reliable comparable data and the uncertainty of predictions concerning future events.

Accounts recorded in foreign currency have been converted to United States dollars as follows: current assets and current liabilities at the prevailing exchange rates at the end of the year; other assets at historical rates; revenues and expenses are translated at the three month average monthly exchange rate per quarter which rate approximates the rate of exchange prevailing at the transaction dates; and gains and losses resulting from the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates are included in the determination of income.

(a) Month-to-month commitments at October 31, 2013.

Research Collaboration Agreements:

The Company executed a revised license agreement with the University of Toronto in 2005 relating to research work completed on its (MRAM) memory technology. The license agreement stipulated royalty payments capped at $1 million in the event that the Company was successful in generating commercial revenues from the sale of the licensing of its memory technology to third parties. To date the Company has not generated any commercial revenues from the exploitation of its memory technology. It decided in 2011 to suspend any further pursuit or development of its memory technology.

Currently, the Company is attempting to sell its intellectual property relating to its memory technology; to date, the Company has been unsuccessful in doing so. If the Company does realize proceeds on the sale of this asset it may have an obligation payable to the University of Toronto under the terms of its 2005 license agreement.

The Company has concluded that these amounts are not payable. In the event it is determined that these amounts are payable the Company would incur these costs.

J. Translation of Foreign Currencies:

Our functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Accounts recorded in foreign currency have been converted to United States dollars as follows: Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates at the consolidated balance sheet dates; non-monetary assets are translated using the historical rate of exchange in effect at the translation dates; revenues 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; and gains and losses resulting from the translation are included in the determination of net loss for the period.

Summary of Directors Powers and Authorities

The rights, duties, powers and authorities of our Board of Directors are set out in the Articles of Incorporation and By-laws and the statutory provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). The following is a selected summary of the Articles of Incorporation, By-laws and applicable provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) as they relate to selected rights, duties, powers and authorities of our Board of Directors.

The Articles of Incorporation provide for a minimum of three and a maximum of 12 directors. The Business Corporations Act (Ontario) prescribes that an offering corporation must have a minimum of three directors, at least twenty five percent (25%), or if they are less than 4, at least one of whom are Canadian residents and at least one third of whom are not officers or employees of us or our affiliates. The Board of Directors may, between annual shareholders meetings, appoint one or more additional directors to serve until the next annual shareholders meeting provided that the number of directors so added may not exceed by one-third (1/3) the number of directors required to have been elected at the last annual meeting of shareholders.

The Chairman of the Board of Directors or any one director may call a meeting upon the provision of forty-eight hours notice to each director in the manner prescribed in our By-laws. Any such notice shall include the items of business to be considered at the meeting. A majority of the directors constitute a quorum provided that half of those directors present are Canadian residents. Business cannot be transacted without a quorum. A quorum of directors may vote on any matter of business properly brought before the meeting provided that where a director is a party to a material contract or proposed material contract or has a material interest in the matter to be considered, such director must disclose his or her interest at the earliest possible date, request the conflict be noted in the minutes of the meeting, and with a few limited exceptions enumerated in the By-laws, refrain from voting on the matter in which the director has a material interest. There is no limitation on the Board of Directors to vote on matters of their remuneration provided such remuneration is disclosed in the financial statements and annual shareholder proxy materials.

The Board of Directors has broad borrowing powers and may, without authorization from the shareholders:

33


A person is qualified to be or stand for election as a director provided such person is at least 18 years of age, is not a bankrupt and is not found to be of unsound mind by a court in Canada or elsewhere. There is no requirement for a director to hold common shares.

Securities of Micromem

Holders of our common shares will be entitled to receive notice of, attend and vote at all meetings of the shareholders of Micromem. Each common share carries one vote at such meetings. In the event of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Micromem, after payment of all outstanding debts, the remaining assets of Micromem available for distribution will be distributed to the holders of our common shares. Dividends may be declared and paid on our common shares in such amounts and at such times as the directors shall determine in their discretion in accordance with the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). There are no pre-emptive rights, conversion rights, redemption provisions or sinking fund provisions attaching to the common shares. Common shares are not liable to further calls or to assessment by Micromem; provided, however, that pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), Micromem has a lien on any common share registered in the name of a shareholder or the shareholder's legal representative for a debt owed by the shareholder to Micromem.

Holders of special shares are entitled to receive notice of, attend and vote at all meetings of the shareholders of Micromem. Each special share carries one vote at such meetings. In the event of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Micromem, after payment of all outstanding debts, the holders of the special shares shall be entitled to receive, before any distribution of any part of the assets of Micromem among the holders of any other shares, the amount paid up on the special shares. The special shares are redeemable at the option of Micromem for the amount paid up on the shares. Dividends may not be declared or paid on the special shares and transfer of the Special Shares is restricted without the approval of the Directors of Micromem and the prior written consent of the Ontario Securities Commission. The number of special shares that may be issued and outstanding at any time is limited to 500,000. There are no pre-emptive rights, conversion rights or sinking fund provisions attaching to the special shares. Special shares are not liable to further calls or to assessment by Micromem; provided, however, that pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), Micromem has a lien on any special shares registered in the name of a shareholder or the shareholder's legal representative for a debt owed by the shareholder.

Rights and Privileges of Shareholders

Only the registered holders of our common shares and special preference shares on the record date are entitled to receive notice of and vote at annual and special meetings of shareholders. Where the items of business affect the rights of shareholders other than the holders of common shares, a special majority of two-thirds of the votes cast by the affected shareholders at the meeting called for such purpose is required to approve the item of business. Beneficial holders of common shares and special shares are also entitled to receive proxy materials in respect of meetings of shareholders in accordance with Canadian Securities Administrators National Instrument 54-101, provided that such proxies are limited in scope to instructing the registered shareholder (usually a brokerage house) on how to vote on behalf of the beneficial shareholder. There are no restrictions on the number of shares that may be held by non-residents other than restrictions set out in the Investment Canada Act (Canada). See "Additional Information - D. Exchange Controls".

There are no provisions in the By-laws regarding public disclosure of individual shareholdings. Notwithstanding this, applicable Canadian securities legislation requires certain public disclosure of persons owning or acquiring common shares in excess of 10% of a corporation's issued and outstanding share capital.

E.             Taxation

Certain Canadian Income Tax Consequences

This discussion under this heading summarizes the principal Canadian federal income tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of common shares for a shareholder who is not a resident of Canada but is a resident of the United States and who will acquire and hold a common share as capital property for the purposes of the Income Tax Canada, also referred to as the Canadian Tax Act. This summary does not apply to a shareholder who carries on business in Canada through a permanent establishment situated in Canada or performs independent personal services in Canada through a fixed base in Canada if the shareholder is effectively connected with such permanent establishment or fixed base. This summary is based on the provisions of the Canadian Tax Act and the regulations there under and on an understanding of the administrative practices of Canada Customs & Revenue Agency, and takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Canadian Tax Act or regulations made by the Minister of Finance of Canada as of the date hereof. It has been assumed that there will be no other relevant amendments of any governing law although no assurance can be given in this respect. This discussion is general only and is not a substitute for independent advice from a shareholder's own Canadian and US tax advisors.

The provisions of the Canadian Tax Act are subject to income tax treaties to which Canada is a party, including the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (1980), as amended.

Dividends on common shares and Other Income

Under the Canadian Tax Act, a non-resident of Canada is generally subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25 percent on dividends paid or deemed to have been paid to him or her by a corporation resident in Canada. We are responsible for the withholding of tax at the source. The Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (1980) limits the rate to 15 percent if the shareholder is a resident of the United States and the dividends are beneficially owned by and paid to such shareholder, and to 5 percent if the shareholder is also a corporation that beneficially owns at least 10 percent of the voting stock of the payor corporation.

The amount of a stock dividend (for tax purposes) would generally be equal to the amount of our paid up or stated capital and increased by reason of the payment of such dividend. We will furnish additional tax information to shareholders in the event of such a dividend. Interest paid or deemed to be paid on our debt securities held by non-Canadian residents may also be subject to Canadian withholding tax, depending upon the terms and provisions of such securities and any applicable tax treaty.

35


The Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (1980) generally exempts from Canadian income tax dividends paid to a religious, scientific, literary, educational or charitable organization or to an organization constituted and operated exclusively to administer a pension, retirement or employee benefit fund or plan, if the organization is a resident of the United States and is exempt from income tax under the laws of the United States.

Dispositions of Common Shares

Under the Canadian Tax Act, a non-resident of Canada is subject to Canadian tax on taxable capital gains, and may deduct allowable capital losses, realized on a disposition of "taxable Canadian property". common shares will constitute taxable Canadian property of a shareholder at a particular time if the shareholder used the shares in carrying on business in Canada, or if at any time in the five years immediately preceding the disposition 25 percent or more of the issued shares of any class or series in the capital stock of Micromem belonged to one or more persons in a group comprising the shareholder and persons with whom the shareholder did not deal at "arm's length” and in certain other circumstances.

The Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (1980) relieves United States residents from liability for Canadian tax on capital gains derived on a disposition of shares unless:

the value of the shares is derived principally from "real property" in Canada, including the right to explore for or exploit natural resources and rights to amounts computed by reference to production, the shareholder was resident in Canada for 120 months during any period of 20 consecutive years preceding, and at any time during the 10 years immediately preceding, the disposition and the shares were owned by them when they ceased to be resident in Canada, or the shares formed part of the business property of a "permanent establishment" that the holder has or had in Canada within the 12 months preceding the disposition.

Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a general summary of certain United States federal income tax consequences, under current law, generally applicable to a US Holder (as defined below). This summary does not address all potentially relevant United States federal income tax matters and it does not address consequences peculiar to persons subject to special provisions of United States federal income tax law, such as those described below as excluded from the definition of a US Holder. United States alternative minimum tax considerations are not addressed in this summary. In addition, this summary does not cover any state, local or foreign tax consequences, nor any U.S. federal gift, estate or generation-skipping transfer tax consequences. (Certain, but not all, foreign tax consequences are described above under “Taxation - Certain Canadian Income Tax Consequences.”)

The following summary is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury Regulations, published Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) rulings, published administrative positions of the IRS, and court decisions that are currently applicable, any of which could be materially and adversely changed, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time. This summary does not consider the potential effects, both adverse and beneficial, of any recently proposed legislation which, if enacted, could be applied (possibly on a retroactive basis) at any time (including, without limitation, changes in applicable tax rates).

This summary is for general information only and it is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any holder or prospective holder of common shares, and no opinion or representation with respect to the United States federal income tax consequences to any such holder or prospective holder is made. Accordingly, holders and prospective holders of common shares should consult their own tax advisors about the federal, state, local, and foreign tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of common shares of the Company.

US Holders

As used herein, a “US Holder” means an owner of common shares who is a citizen or individual resident (as defined under United States tax laws) of the United States; a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof; an estate the income of which is taxable in the United States irrespective of source; or a trust if (a) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the trust's administration and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all of the substantial decisions of the trust or (b) the trust was in existence on August 20, 1996 and has properly elected to continue to be treated as a United States person. This summary does not address the tax consequences to, and “US Holder” does not include, tax-exempt persons or organizations; qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts and other tax-deferred accounts; financial institutions; insurance companies; real estate investment trusts; regulated investment companies; entities subject to the U.S. corporate conversion rules; broker-dealers; U.S. tax expatriates; non-resident alien individuals or entities; persons or entities that have a “functional currency” other than the US dollar; persons who hold common shares as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction; and persons who acquire their common shares as compensation for services. This summary is limited to US Holders who own common shares as capital assets and who hold the common shares directly (e.g., not through an intermediary entity such as a corporation, partnership, LLC or trust). This summary does not address the consequences to a person or entity of the ownership, exercise or disposition of any options, warrants or other rights to acquire common shares.

Distributions to US Holders Who Own Common Shares

Subject to the discussion below concerning the potential status of the Company (or any of its subsidiaries that are classified as corporations for United States federal income tax purposes (“Related Entities”)) as a “passive foreign investment company” (“PFIC”), the gross amount of any distribution by the Company (including any Canadian taxes withheld therefrom) with respect to common shares generally should be included in the gross income of a US Holder as foreign source dividend income to the extent such distribution is paid out of current or accumulated earnings and profits of the Company, as determined under United States federal income tax principles. To the extent that the amount of any distribution exceeds the Company's current and accumulated earnings and profits in that taxable year, the distribution is treated as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of the US Holder's adjusted tax basis in the common shares. Thereafter, to the extent that such distribution exceeds the US Holder's adjusted tax basis in the common shares, it is taxed as a capital gain.

Dividends received by non-corporate US Holders may be subject to United States federal income tax at lower rates (generally 15%) than other types of ordinary income in taxable years beginning on or before December 31, 2013, if certain conditions are met. These conditions include neither the Company nor a Related Entity being classified as a PFIC (discussed below), the Company being a “qualified foreign corporation”, the US Holder's satisfaction of a holding period requirement, and the US Holder not treating the distribution as “investment income” for purposes of the investment interest deduction rules.

In the case of US Holders that are corporations, distributions from the Company generally are not eligible for the dividends received deduction.

Dispositions of Common Shares of the Company

Subject to the discussion below regarding PFICs, gain or loss, if any, realized by a US Holder on the sale or other disposition of common shares generally is subject to United States federal income taxation as capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the US Holder's adjusted tax basis in the common shares and the amount realized on the disposition. Net capital gain (i.e., capital gain in excess of capital loss) recognized by a non-corporate US Holder upon a sale or other disposition of common shares that have been held for more than one year is generally subject to a maximum United States federal income tax rate of 15% in taxable years beginning on or before December 31, 2013. Deductions for capital losses are subject to limitations.

US Anti-Deferral Regimes

There are two regimes applicable to foreign corporations under United States federal income tax law that potentially may apply to the Company - the “controlled foreign corporation” (“CFC”) regime and the PFIC regime.

37


Generally, a foreign corporation is not a CFC unless more than fifty percent (by vote or value) of its stock is owned by “U.S. Shareholders” (generally, United States persons who have ten percent or more of the votes of the foreign corporation). This classification generally results in the inclusion of certain income of the CFC in the U.S. Shareholders' income as a deemed dividend. If the Company were a CFC, the United States federal tax consequences summarized herein could be materially and adversely different.

PFIC status is not conditioned on a certain level of ownership of the foreign corporation by United States persons, however. The Company or any Related Entity would be considered a PFIC if during any taxable year, 75% or more of its gross income consists of certain types of “passive” income, or if the average value during a taxable year of its “passive assets” (generally, assets that generate passive income) is 50% or more of the average value of all assets held by it. Passive income generally includes items such as dividends, interest, rents and royalties, although there are various “look through” rules that treat dividends from related persons, for example, as non-passive under certain conditions.

If the Company is classified as a PFIC, a US Holder is subject to increased United States federal income tax liability in respect of gain recognized on the disposition of his, her or its common shares or upon the receipt of certain distributions, unless such person makes a “qualified electing fund” election to be taxed currently on his, or her or its pro rata portion of the Company's income and gain (whether or not such income or gain is distributed in the form of dividends or otherwise), and the Company provides certain annual statements which include the information necessary to determine inclusions and assure compliance with the PFIC rules. As an alternative to the foregoing rules, a US Holder may make a “mark-to-market” election to include in income each year as ordinary income an amount equal to the increase in value of his, her or its common shares for that year or to claim a deduction for any decrease in value (but only to the extent of previous mark-to-market gains).

The CFC and PFIC rules are very complex. The Company offers no opinion or representations as to its status as a CFC or PFIC for the current or any prior or future tax years. US Holders should consult their own U.S. tax advisors with respect to the CFC and PFIC issues and their applicability to such Holder’s particular situation.

Foreign Tax Credit

A US Holder who pays (or has withheld from distributions) Canadian income tax with respect to the ownership or disposition of the common shares may be entitled, at the option of the US Holder, to either a deduction or a tax credit for such foreign tax paid or withheld. Generally, it will be more advantageous to claim a credit because a credit reduces United States Federal income taxes on a dollar-for-dollar basis, while a deduction merely reduces the taxpayer’s income subject to tax. This election is made on a year-by-year basis and applies to all foreign taxes paid by (or withheld from) the US Holder during that year.

There are significant and complex limitations that apply to the credit, among which is the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of the US Holder’s United States Federal income tax liability that the US Holder's foreign source income bears to his or its worldwide taxable income. In the determination of the application of this limitation, the various items of income and deduction must be classified into foreign and domestic sources. Complex rules govern this classification process. In addition, this limitation is calculated separately with respect to specific “baskets” of income. Foreign taxes assigned to a particular basket generally cannot offset United States tax on income assigned to another basket. Unused foreign tax credits can generally be carried back one year and carried forward ten years. The availability of the foreign tax credit and the application of the limitations on the credit are fact specific and US Holders should consult their own U.S. tax advisors regarding their ability to utilize foreign tax credits in light of their individual circumstances.

Currency Fluctuations

For United States federal income tax purposes, the amount received by a US Holder as payment with respect to a distribution on, or disposition of common shares, if paid in Canadian dollars, is the US dollar value at the date of the payment, regardless of whether the payment is later converted into US dollars. In such case, the US Holder may recognize additional ordinary income or loss as a result of currency fluctuations between the date on which the payment is made and the date the payment is converted into US dollars.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Micromem’s Board of Directors and executive management are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of its published consolidated financial statements.

All internal control systems no matter how well designed have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective may not prevent or detect misstatements and can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer assessed the effectiveness of Micromem’s internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2013. In making this assessment, they used the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of October 31, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
No changes in our internal controls over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, occurred during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013 that has materially affected or is reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

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 statements of financial position as at October 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012 and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended October 31, 2013, October 31, 2012 and 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 International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, 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 consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our 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, 2013 and October 31, 2012, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years ended October 31, 2013, October 31, 2012 and October 31, 2011 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

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 doubt about Micromem Technologies Inc.’s ability to continue as a going concern.

GOING CONCERN

   

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the “going concern” basis in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), 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 uncertainties related to conditions and events that cast 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, 2013, the Company reported a loss from operations of $5,933,928 (2012 - $1,775,065; 2011 - $3,182,387) of which $3,670,725 (2012 - $391,293; 2011 - $1,717,906) of this loss are non-cash losses (2012 – gains; 2011 - losses) and negative cash flows from operations of $2,515,315 (2012 - $2,573,982; 2011 - $1,453,508). The Company’s working capital position as at October 31, 2013 is $425,888 (2012 – working capital deficiency of $1,793,217).

   

The Company’s success depends on the profitable commercialization of its proprietary magnetic sensor technology. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in the profitable commercialization of its technology. Based upon its current operating and financial plans, management of the Company believes that it will have sufficient access to financial resources to fund the Company’s planned operations through fiscal 2014; however, if the Company is not able to complete its financial plans and/or is not able to profitably commercialize its technology then there is doubt the Company can continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

   

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; in such cases, these adjustments could be material.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

       
a)

Statement of compliance:

       

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and its interpretations adopted by International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

       
b)

Basis of measurement:

       

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for financial instruments designated at fair value through profit and loss, which are stated at their fair value.

       
c)

Functional and presentation currency:

       

These consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“U.S. dollars”), which is also the Company’s functional currency.

       
d)

Use of estimates and judgments:

       

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

       

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

       

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment are as follows:

       
i)

The Company makes estimates and utilizes assumptions in determining the fair value for stock based compensation expense, warrants, the (gain) loss on the revaluation of the derivative warrant liability, the (gain) loss on the revaluation of the embedded derivatives relating to bridge loans and the bifurcation of convertible debt.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Cont’d)

       
d)

Use of estimates and judgments: (Cont’d)

       
ii)

The Company makes estimates related to the recovery of deferred development costs based on the expectation and assumption of realizing revenues from future commercial agreements that it anticipates will develop with the companies for whom these projects have been undertaken. Changes in these expectations and assumptions could result in a change in the recoverable amount calculated.

       
iii)

The Company makes estimates related to the useful lives of property and equipment, patents and intangible assets and the related amortization. The Company also periodically assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets. The recoverability analysis requires the Company to make assumptions about future operations. Changes to one or more assumptions would result in a change in the recoverable amount calculated and/or amortization expensed.

       
iv)

Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilized. At October 31, 2013, the Company has assessed that it may not be probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to use deferred income tax assets based on operating losses in prior years, therefore, there are no balances carried in the consolidated statements of financial position for such assets.

       
v)

The Company applies judgment in assessing whether material uncertainties exist that would cause doubt as to the whether the Company could continue as a going concern.

       
vi)

The Company applies judgment in assessing the functional currency of each entity consolidated in these financial statements.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


  a)

Basis of consolidation:

     
 

Subsidiaries are legal entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date control ceases.

     
 

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Company’s subsidiaries.

     
  b)

Foreign currency translation:

     
 

IFRS requires that the functional currency of each entity in the consolidated entity be determined separately in accordance with specific indicators and should be measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). As a result of an assessment of the primary indicators, management assessed the functional currency of the Comp+any and its subsidiaries to be U.S. dollar (“USD”). The consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared and presented using the USD.

     
 

Foreign currency transactions denominated in other than U.S. dollars are translated into the functional currency on the following basis:


  i)

Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the statement of financial position date.

     
  ii)

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

     
  iii)

Income and expenses for each income statement line item presented are translated at average exchange rates during the quarter in which they are recognized.

Exchange differences resulting from the settlement of foreign currency transactions are recognized directly in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss in the period in which incurred.

Financial Instruments: Recognition, Measurement, Disclosure and Presentation:

     

The Company initially recognizes loans and receivables and deposits on the date that they are originated. All other financial assets including assets designated at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) are recognized initially on the trade date at which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

     

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire.

     

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position only when the Company has the legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

     

The Company has the following financial assets: cash, deposits and other receivables and promissory note receivable.

     

All financial assets and financial liabilities, including derivatives, are initially measured in the statement of financial position 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 FVTPL, available-for-sale, held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, or other liabilities.

     

FVTPL financial assets are measured at fair value and all gains and losses are included in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss 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 statement of financial position.

Financial Instruments: Recognition, Measurement, Disclosure and Presentation: (Cont’d)

     
 

The Company classifies cash as FVTPL. Deposits and other receivables 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. The derivative warrant liability and embedded derivatives in bridge loans are classified at FVTPL and are measured at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

     
  d)

Compound Financial Instruments

     
 

Compound financial instruments issued by the Company comprise convertible notes that can be converted to share capital at the option of the holder and the number of shares to be issued does not vary with changes in their fair value.

     
 

The liability component of a compound financial instrument is recognized initially at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option.

     
 

The equity component, if the conversion feature of the convertible note is in US dollars, is recognized initially as the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.

     
 

Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not remeasured subsequent to initial recognition.

     
 

Interest, dividends, losses and gains relating to the financial liability are recognized in profit or loss except for borrowing costs on qualifying assets which are added to asset cost. Distributions to the equity holders are recognized in equity, net of any tax effect.

e)

Hybrid Financial Instruments:

     

Financial instruments with embedded derivative liabilities are accounted for as hybrid financial instruments. The Company has hybrid financial instruments when the embedded derivative conversion option right of the convertible notes gives the right to the holder to convert into common shares in Canadian dollars (“CDN”).

     

An embedded derivative is a feature within a contract, such that the cash flows associated with that feature behave in a similar fashion to a stand-alone derivative. An embedded derivative is separated from its host contract and accounted for as a derivative only when three criteria are satisfied:


 

When the economic risks and characteristics of the embedded derivatives are not closely related to those of the host contract;

 

A separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of a derivative; and

 

The entire instrument is not measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the income statement.


 

Subsequent to initial recognition, the embedded derivative component is re-measured each reporting period using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the change in fair value recognized in statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

     
  f)

Derivative Liability

     
 

The Company’s derivative financial instruments consist of derivative liabilities in relation to its share purchase warrants.

  f)

Derivative Liability (Cont’d)

       
  i)

Derivative Warrant Liability:

       
 

The Company has issued share purchase warrants in conjunction with private placements for the purchase of common shares of the Company. Until October 2013 (Note 14(b)), a number of these share purchase warrants were issued with an exercise price in CDN, rather than USD (the reporting and functional currency of the Company). Such share purchase warrants are considered to be derivative instruments and the Company is required to re-measure the fair value of these at each reporting date. The fair value of these CDN share purchase warrants are re-measured at each financial position date using the Black Scholes option-pricing model using the exchange rates at the financial position date and measured over their remaining life. Adjustments to the fair value of the derivative warrant liability as at the financial position date are recorded in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss as (gain) loss on revaluation of derivative warrant liability. Share purchase warrants that have expired or have been forfeited are adjusted to the statement of loss and comprehensive loss as (gain) loss on revaluation of derivative warrant liability.

       
 

Consideration received upon the exercise of warrants is credited to share capital and the related amount is transferred from contributed surplus (USD warrants) or derivative warrant liability (CDN warrants) to share capital.

       
  ii)

Conversion Feature of Bridge Loans

       
 

The conversion feature on the bridge loans allows the holder of the option to convert the outstanding principal and interest from time to time to common equity. The Company, using the Black Scholes option-pricing model, accounts for bridge loans as follows:


  (ii.1)

At date of origination the bifurcation of the total balance of the loan as debt and equity is calculated. If the conversion feature of the bridge loan is in CDN there is no equity component, resulting in an embedded derivative. Accretion expense is recorded over the term of the loan.

     
  (ii.2)

The total loan proceeds are allocated between the bridge loans and the related embedded derivative based on their relative fair value. The embedded derivative conversion feature is included under the bridge loans in the statement of financial position.

(ii.3)

The conversion feature is revalued at the end of the reporting period and any adjustment is reflected in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss if the conversion feature is in CDN.


  g)

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 loan. 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.

     
  h)

Intangible Assets

     
 

Costs for the general development of the Company’s sensor technology are expensed unless they meet the criteria for deferral. Expenditures are capitalized if the Company 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 in each reporting period for impairment. Amortization is provided on a 7 year straight-line basis.

     
  i)

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

j)

Impairment of Long-lived Assets:

     

Long-lived assets consist of property and equipment, patents, intangible assets, and deferred development costs.

     

The carrying amounts of property and equipment, patents, intangible assets and deferred development costs, are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable When the carrying amount exceeds the estimated recoverable amount, the assets are written down to their recoverable amount.

     

The recoverable amount of long-lived assets is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, 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. Impairment losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

     

An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of amortization, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Following the recognition or reversal of an impairment loss, the amortization charge applicable to the asset is adjusted prospectively in order to systematically allocate the revised carrying amount, net of any residual value, over the estimated useful life.

     

Gains or losses on the disposal of property and equipment, patents and intangible assets represent the difference between the net proceeds and the carrying value at the date of sale.

Expenditures during the development phase are capitalized if the Company can demonstrate each of the following criteria: (i) the technical feasibility of completing the asset so that it will be available for use or sale, (ii) its intention to complete the asset and use or sell it, (iii) its ability to use or sell the asset, (iv) how the 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 asset, and (vi) its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the asset during its development; otherwise, these costs are expensed as incurred. Commencing in 2009, the Company determined that its continuing activities related to the application of its sensor technology to projects met the deferral criteria and, accordingly, these costs have been capitalized and are tested in each reporting period for recoverability. Development costs will be amortized on an appropriate basis at the time the Company enters commercial production.

     

Payments received from development partners on projects are recorded to deferred development costs as a recovery of cost incurred.

     
l)

Patents:

     

Patents are recorded at cost and are amortized on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives of 5 years. Patents are recorded net of accumulated amortization with amortization expense capitalized as deferred development costs since the patents are directly related to development.

     
m)

Unit Private Placements:

     

The Company uses the relative fair value approach in accounting for the value assigned to the common shares and the common share purchase warrants which it had made available in the unit private placement financings that it secured, calculated in accordance with the Black Scholes option-pricing model.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)

     
n)

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 stock. For non- employees, stock based payments are measured at the fair value of the services 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 is credited to share capital and the related amount is transferred from contributed surplus.

     

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. A forfeiture rate is estimated on the grant date and is adjusted to reflect the actual number of options that vest. In the event that vested stock options expire, previously recognized stock based compensation is not reversed. In the event that stock options are forfeited, previously recognized stock based compensation associated with the unvested portion of the stock options forfeited is reversed. The fair value of direct awards of stock is determined by the quoted market price of the Company’s stock.

     
o)

Income Taxes:

     

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

     

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)

     
o)

Income Taxes: (Cont’d)

     

Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable income or loss and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In addition, deferred tax is not recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

     

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

     

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.

     

A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.


  p)

Earnings or Loss Per Share:

     
 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by adjusting the weighted average number of number of common shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares, which are comprised of outstanding warrants, conversion options and vested stock options. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share assumes that any proceeds received for in-the-money warrants and options would be used to buy common shares at the average market price for the period.

NEW STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS ISSUED BUT NOT YET ADOPTED

     

Certain new standards, interpretations, amendments and improvements to existing standards were issued by the IASB or International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) that are mandatory for future accounting periods. The standard impacted that is applicable to the Company are as follows:

     
a)

IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments, was issued in November 2009 and contained requirements for financial assets. This standard addresses classification and measurement of financial assets and replaces the multiple category and measurement models in IAS 39, Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement, for debt instruments with a new mixed measurement model having only two categories:


  Amortized cost and
  Fair value through profit and loss

IFRS 9 also replaces the models for measuring equity instruments, and such instruments are either recognized at fair value through earnings or at fair value through other comprehensive income. Where such equity instruments are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, dividends, to the extent not clearly representing a return of investment, are recognized in earnings; however, other gains and losses (including impairments) associated with such instruments remain in accumulated other comprehensive income indefinitely.

Requirements for financial liabilities were added in October 2010 and largely carried forward existing requirements in IAS 39, Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement, except that fair value changes due to credit risk for liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss would generally be recorded in other comprehensive income.

The effective date of IFRS 9 is yet to be determined.

NEW STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS ISSUED BUT NOT YET ADOPTED (Cont’d)


  b)

IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements, requires an entity to consolidate an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Under existing IFRS, consolidation is required when an entity has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain live entertainment from its activities. IFRS 10 replaces SIC-12, Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities and parts of IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements.

     
 

This standard is required to be applied for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

     
  c)

IFRS 11 – Joint Arrangements, requires a venturer to classify its interest in a joint arrangement as a joint venture or joint operation. Joint ventures will be accounted for using the equity method of accounting whereas for a joint operation the venturer will recognize its share of the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of the joint operation. Under existing IFRS, entities have the choice to proportionately consolidate or equity account for interests in joint ventures. IFRS 11 supersedes IAS 31, Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC-13, Jointly Controlled Entities—Nonmonetary Contributions by Venturers.

     
 

This standard is required to be applied for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

     
  d)

IFRS 12 – Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, such as joint arrangements, associates, special purpose vehicles and off balance sheet vehicles. The standard carries forward existing disclosures and also introduces significant additional disclosure requirements that address the nature of, and risks associated with, an entity’s interests in other entities.

     
 

This standard is required to be applied for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

NEW STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS ISSUED BUT NOT YET ADOPTED (Cont’d)


  e)

IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement, is a comprehensive standard for fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across all IFRS standards. The new standard clarifies that fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, at the measurement date. It also establishes disclosures about fair value measurement. Under existing IFRS, guidance on measuring and disclosing fair value is dispersed among the specific standards requiring fair value measurements and in many cases does not reflect a clear measurement basis or consistent disclosures.

     
 

This standard is required to be applied for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

     
  f)

In addition, there have been amendments to existing standards including IAS 27, Separate Financial Statements, and IAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. IAS 27 addresses accounting for subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and associates in non - consolidated financial statements. IAS 28 has been amended to include joint ventures in its scope and to address the changes in IFRS 10 to IFRS 12.

     
 

This standard is required to be applied for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, provided that IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12 are adopted at the same time.

The Company is currently assessing the impact of the above standards.

FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

   

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 consisting of cash, deposits and other receivables, promissory note receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and bridge loans approximate 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 statement of financial position, 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 statement of financial position date consist of cash, derivative warrant liability and the conversion feature on bridge loans. Cash is measured at Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Derivative warrant liability and the conversion feature on bridge loans are measured at Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

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 share capital, equity component of bridge loans, 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 year ended October 31, 2013.

Additions to deferred development costs includes patent amortization of $22,354 (2012 - $15,204; 2011 - $Nil).

   

To date, the Company has recovered from its development partners a portion of the costs it has incurred as deferred development costs coincident with meeting milestones as stipulated in development contracts.

   

In 2013, the Company provided a reserve against deferred development costs previously incurred with respect to three development projects, reducing the carrying value in each case to a nominal amount. In each case, the Company has decided not to pursue these development projects.

   
11.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND PATENTS

   

Intangible assets comprise the costs which the Company has capitalized relating to the technical expertise and know-how that the Company has developed with respect to the commercialization efforts relating to its sensor technology. In 2011, the Company determined that it had sufficiently advanced its expertise and product knowledge relating to the general commercialization efforts for its sensor technology in multiple industry vertical applications. It anticipates that it will realize commercial economic benefits from the exploitation of these intangible assets in future.

Loss Per Share

     

The calculation of basic and diluted loss per share for the year ended October 31, 2013 was based on the loss attributable to common shareholders of $5,933,928 (2012 - $1,775,065; 2011 - $3,182,387) divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding of 146,814,466 (2012 – 123,375,510; 2011 - 102,301,168).

     

Diluted loss per share did not include the effect of 11,475,000 stock options and 29,761,012 warrants outstanding (Note 13(c)) and the potential conversion of bridge loans (Note 14) as they are anti-dilutive.

BRIDGE LOANS

     
(a)

On March 4, 2011 the Company secured a 180 day convertible bridge loan (“Loan 1”) from an arms’ length investor in the amount of $100,000 CDN. The interest rate on the loan was established at 2% per month (effective interest rate – 17%). The principal and interest of the loan was convertible at $0.20 CDN per share at the holder’s option. The Company provided 5,000 common share purchase warrants to acquire common shares at a strike price of $0.20 CDN per share. No value was assigned to these warrants as their value was nominal. The loan was originally due September 4, 2011. The loan was renegotiated and extended for an additional 90 days. The conversion price was revised to $0.15 CDN per share at the holder’s option. As a result of the change in conversion, a value of $26,997 was recorded to deficit with an offsetting charge to contributed surplus to reflect the value of the more favorable conversion feature in fiscal 2011. All other terms remained the same. This loan was repaid in the quarter ended January 31, 2012.

On March 31, 2010, the Company secured a 180 day convertible bridge loan (“Loan 6”) from an arm’s length investor in the amount of 4250,000 CDN. The interest rate on the loan was established at 4% per month (effective interest rate – 48%). The principal and interest of the loan was convertible at $0.55 USD per share at the holder’s option. The Company provided 12,500 common share purchase warrants to acquire common shares at a strike price of $0.50 USD per share. As a result, net proceeds of $220 were allocated to warrants. The loan was originally due in October 2010. At October 31, 2010, the note remained outstanding and interest was accrued at the stated rate of 4% per month compounded monthly. On December 17, 2010, the company renegotiated the loan, extending the terms to June 17, 2011 and bearing interest at 2% per month compounded monthly. An additional 20,000 common share purchase warrants were issued in conjunction with the renegotiation. No value was assigned to these warrants as their value was nominal. The conversion feature for this loan was reduced from $0.55 USD to $0.20 USD. As a result of the change in conversion, a value of $158,567 was recorded to deficit in fiscal 2011 with an offsetting charge to contributed surplus to reflect the value of the more favourable conversion feature.

     

On July 17, 2011, the Company renegotiated the loan, extending the terms to October 17, 2011 and bearing interest at 2% per month compounded monthly. An additional 20,000 common share purchase warrants were issued in conjunction with the renegotiation. No value was assigned to these warrants as their value was nominal.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

     
(a)

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.

     
(b)

Market Risk:


  i.

Foreign Exchange Risk:

     
 

The Company currently incurs expenses in Canadian dollars. The total monetary financial instruments are in a net positive position. Management monitors the Canadian position of these monetary financial instruments on a periodic basis throughout the course of the year.

     
 

The consolidated financial statements include balances that are denominated in Canadian dollars as follows:

  -     159,902  

  ii.

Foreign Exchange Risk:

     
 

A 10% strengthening of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar would have decreased the equity by $30,037 (2012 – increased the equity by $10,695) due to a reduction in the value of net liability balance. A 10% weakening of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar at October 31, 2013 would have had the equal but opposite effect.

     
  iii.

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 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 not exposed to interest price risk on its interest bearing bridge loans as the interest rate is fixed.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Cont’d)

     
(c)

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, 2013.

     
(d)

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 deposits and other receivables. The carrying amount of financial assets represents maximum credit exposure.

     

As at October 31, 2013, the Company reports working capital of $425,888 and has certain financial commitments (Note 19), the majority of which are due within one year. It must continue to raise financing in order to meet its current obligations.
