1)
|
Incumbent
local exchange carriers (ILEC). Our products for telephony are
installed
primarily, but not exclusively, in areas where tele-density (the
number of
phone lines per hundred population) is low. Our symmetry
platform is designed to meet the IP broadband needs (voice and
data) of
local exchange carriers in slightly more dense deployments, as
would be
found in suburban areas and larger rural
towns.
|
|
2)
|
Competitive
local exchange carriers (CLEC). This group offers competitive voice
and
data services in both developing and developed countries. The
symmetry platform addresses this market, which is
characterized by the need for small and medium-sized business
applications; such as, high-speed, leased-line data, LAN-to-LAN
connections, and high-quality voice, fax and Internet
connections.
|
|
3)
|
Wireless
Internet Service Providers (WISP). These customers provide end-users
in
rural, suburban and urban areas, with high-speed connection to
the
Internet. Our symmetry platform is used to deliver
high-speed Internet access to users in suburban, urban and rural
areas.
|
|
4)
|
Mobile
telecommunications networks. As WiMAX technology further develops,
an
increasing number of carriers will seek to offer broadband services
with
limited or full mobility. ; Our
symmetryMXe product
specifically addresses this market
segment.
|
|
5)
|
Owners
of private telecommunications networks. This group of customers
includes
energy-generating companies (electricity and gas), pipeline operators
(oil
and gas), resource companies (mining and exploration), and industrial
and
service organizations with scattered facilities. These organizations,
generally spread out over wide geographical areas, require highly
reliable
voice and data communications to control crucial factors of their
operations. The symmetry platform is gaining traction as
the market begins to realize the efficiency, reliability, and flexibility
that WiMAX technology offers.

6)
|
Mobile
backhauling. These customers are mobile service providers. The
symmetryMX product
family is used for mobile backhaul, which is connecting mobile
base
stations to the core telecommunications network.
symmetryMX is
well suited for this application as it provides a high-capacity
airlink
and is more cost-effective than the traditional wireline and
point-to-point wireless backhaul infrastructure typically used
by mobile
operators. symmetryMX’s
functionality makes it an efficient and reliable solution for backhauling
both second-generation (2G) and third-generation (3G) mobile
networks.
|
|
1)
|
Traditional
wire-line methods, that connect telephone and data subscribers
using pole
lines with open wire or overhead cable, buried cable or fibre optic,
and
electronic systems designed to enhance these methods. The choice
between
our systems or one of these other methods is generally determined
by an
engineering and economic feasibility study performed by the
customer.
|
|
2)
|
Other
wireless methods, such as cellular mobile radio systems and point-to-point
wireless systems. These systems typically offer a lower data rate
than our
products. Point-to-point wireless systems can be used to backhaul
mobile
networks or to provide broadband data connectivity to large enterprises.
However they are neither as economical nor as easy to manage as
a
point-to-multipoint topology as used in our
products.
|
|
3)
|
Satellite-based
systems, which are used to provide telephone and data services
to some
extremely remote locations where terrestrial facilities would clearly
be
far too expensive or impractical.
|
Current
cellular technologies: 1xEVDO, HSPA+
|
Have
already won today’s mobile-broadband segment, but are not up to the task
of providing wireline-equivalent service, and are not focused on
the BWA
spectrum bands.
|
Future
cellular technology: Long-Term Evolution (LTE)
|
LTE
is a few years behind WiMAX but with similar capabilities. Its
benefit and
its weakness is that it will leverage the current
infrastructure.
|
Other
technologies:
TD-CDMA,
802.20, WiFi
|
No
longer a threat. The high-tech standards have failed to gain enough
momentum to be serious, and WiFi is already beginning to run up
against
serious design issues for wide-area deployments.
|
Proprietary
technologies
|
Will
be successful in backhaul, and for some niche markets. WiMAX will
eventually start to encroach on both of these as it matures, much
as
mobility crippled the fixed-cellular industry.

The
Company significantly de-leveraged its balance sheet in Q1 2006
through a
private placement and the concurrent conversion of the vast majority
of
its 10% convertible debentures into common shares. In March 2007,
the
Company completed the redemption of the remaining $2.7 million
balance of
convertible debentures, including accrued but unpaid interest,
a move that
streamlined SR Telecom’s financial structure through the elimination of
second ranking creditors and freed up approximately $4.7 million
in
restricted cash from its balance
sheet.
|
|
§
|
In
December 2006, the Company sought and obtained $20.0 million in
new
financing from a syndicate of lenders comprised of shareholders
of the
Company.
|
|
§
|
In
February 2007, the Company announced the sale of its telecommunications
service provider subsidiary in Chile, Comunicacion y Telefonia
Rural (CTR ). This transaction fully released the Company from
all of
its obligations with respect to CTR, including liabilities
regarding loans
amounting to approximately US$28.0 million; it also simplified
the
Company’s financial
structure.
|
|
§
|
On
July 3, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with a syndicate
of
lenders comprised of shareholders of the Company providing for
a term loan
of up to $45.0 million, of which $35.0 million will be drawn at
closing
and an additional $10.0 million will be available for drawdown
for a
period of up to one year from
closing.
|
§
|
The
Company appointed a new permanent chief executive officer (CEO)
and chief
financial officer (CFO) in Q2 2006. The new leadership team fully
evaluated all aspects of the organization and took decisive action
to
realign the business to focus on two key ingredients for future
success:
delivering WiMAX products and creating a contract manufacturing
process
that is seamless, transparent and
efficient.
|
§
|
Following
the comprehensive evaluation initiated by the new CEO and the new
CFO, in
April 2007 the Company announced an internal reorganization that
centralized activities in its Montréal (Canada) offices and reduced costs.
Part of this reorganization included the discontinuation and sale
of
certain unprofitable legacy product lines; an initiative intended
to
better align cost structure with revenue potential. The sales process
began in earnest in April and is
ongoing.
|
§
|
In
Q1 2006, the Company outsourced manufacturing activities to increase
its
cost competitiveness; this transition was completed for the most
part in
the second quarter. The supply chain was re-established allowing
for
higher deliveries in the year ended December 31, 2006 compared
to the same
period in 2005.
|
§
|
Nonetheless,
contract-manufacturing issues had a strong negative impact on overall
results throughout the year. In addition to mitigating transitional
issues
with existing contract manufacturers, management took action to
de-risk
manufacturing by broadening its supply source, thereby improving
process
efficiency with its manufacturing
partners:
|
|
1
|
In
December 2006, it reached an agreement with a new contract manufacturer
to
manufacture CPEs
|
|
2
|
In
March 2007, it entered into discussions with a tier-1 contract
manufacturer for its WiMAX product
suite
|
|
3
|
In
May 2007, it signed a three-year WIMAX manufacture and supply agreement
with Taiwan-based Microelectronics Technology
(MTI)
|
§
|
The
Company received WiMAX Forum certification of its symmetrymx
solution, marking a pivotal step towards executing the plan to
deploy
WiMAX technology.
|
§
|
While
product development and delivery delays have put strain on customer
relationships, the Company has made efforts to establish open lines
of
communication to address customer concerns. In addition, the Company’s
suite of WiMAX solutions continues to attract new customer enquiries
and
field trials are currently underway with a number of telecommunications
service providers around the world.

(i) |
The
revaluation resulted in an increase in current assets, mainly reflecting
work in process and finished goods inventory. The work in process
fair
value was determined using management’s best estimate of selling price
less cost to sell and cost to complete. The finished goods inventory
fair
value was determined using management’s best estimate of selling price
less cost to sell.
|
(ii)
|
The
revaluation resulted in a net decrease in property, plant and equipment.
This decrease related primarily to the property, plant and equipment
of
the Company’s then subsidiary CTR. $26.0 million of the decrease was the
result of management’s best estimate of CTR’s fair value as a whole and
the allocation of this fair value to its assets and liabilities.
The
property, plant and equipment in the wireless business segment
were valued
based on fair market value in continued use of the assets. This
valuation
resulted in a $7.4 million increase in the value of the
assets.
|
(iii)
|
The
revaluation resulted in the Company assigning a value to its technology,
using the relief-from-royalties method, calculated using projections
management developed. As well, as part of the revaluation, a value
was
attributed to customer relationships based on the related revenue
and cash
flows the Company expects these customers to generate; this value
was also
determined using projections management
developed.
|
(iv)
|
The
value of contributed surplus and warrants was determined to be
nil at the
revaluation date. This value was determined using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model.
|
(v)
|
Pursuant
to the terms of the convertible debentures, $10.0 million principal
amount, plus accrued interest, classified in equity at the issuance
date,
was reclassified to capital stock upon conversion to common
shares.
|
(vi)
|
The
adjustment reflects the increase in net assets of the Company as
a result
of the revaluation.

(i)
|
The
revaluation resulted in an increase in the current assets, mainly
reflecting work-in-process and finished goods inventory. The
work-in-process fair value was determined using management’s best estimate
of selling price less cost to sell and complete. The finished goods
inventory fair value was determined using management’s best estimate of
selling price less cost to sell.
|
(ii)
|
The
revaluation resulted in a net decrease in property, plant and equipment.
This decrease related primarily to the property, plant and equipment
of
CTR. $26.0 million of the decrease was the result of management’s best
estimate of the fair value of CTR as a whole and the allocation
of its
fair value to the assets and liabilities. The property, plant and
equipment in the Wireless business segment was valued based on
fair market
value in continued use of the assets, resulting in a $7.4 million
increase
in the value of these assets.
|
(iii)
|
The
revaluation resulted in the Company assigning a value to its technology,
using the relief-from-royalties method, calculated using projections
developed by management. As well, as part of the revaluation, a
value was
attributed to customer relationships based on the related revenue
and cash
flows expected to be generated from these customers determined
using
projections developed by
management.
|
(iv)
|
The
value of contributed surplus and warrants was determined to be
nil at the
revaluation date. This value was determined using the Black-Scholes
option
pricing model.
|
(v)
|
Pursuant
to the terms of the Convertible Debentures, $10.0 million principal
amount, plus accrued interest thereon, classified in equity at
the
issuance date, was reclassified to capital stock upon their conversion
to
common shares.
|
(vi)
|
The
adjustment reflects the increase in net assets of the Company as
a result
of the revaluation.

(c)
|
Inventory
|
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value or replacement cost, with cost computed at standard, which approximates actual cost computed on a first in, first out basis. Inventory is comprised of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods. |
(d)
|
Income
taxes
|
Future
income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences
between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities,
and are measured using the enacted and substantially enacted tax
rates
which will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
A
valuation allowance is provided for the amount of future income
tax assets
that are not considered more likely than not to be
realized. |
(e)
|
Property,
plant and equipment
|
Property,
plant and equipment are recorded at cost (see note 1) and are depreciated
or amortized over their estimated useful lives on the following
bases:
|
Telecommunications network equipment | straight-line over 20 years | |||
Building and improvements | straight-line over 20 and 10 years | |||
Leasehold improvements | straight-line over term of lease | |||
Machinery, equipment and fixtures | 20% diminishing balance and straight-line over 3 years | |||
Computer equipment and licences | 30% diminishing balance and straight-line over 5 years |
(f)
|
Intangible
assets
|
Intangible
assets are recorded at cost (see note 1) and amortized on a straight-line
basis over their estimated useful lives on the following
bases:
|
Customer relationships | straight-line over 5 years | |||
Technology | straight-line over 5 years |
(g)
|
Deferred
charges
|
Costs
incurred to issue debt are deferred and amortized over the term
of the
obligation.
|
(h)
|
Impairment
of long-lived assets
|
Long-lived
assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible
assets,
subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever
events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
an asset may
not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used
is
measured comparing the carrying amount of an asset to estimated
undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the
use of the
asset and its eventual disposal. If the carrying amount of the
asset
exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge
is
recognized at the amount by which the carrying amount of the
asset exceeds
the fair value of the
asset. |
(i)
|
Foreign
currency translation
|
Monetary
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated
at
exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet dates. Non-monetary
assets
and liabilities are translated at historical rates. Translation
gains and
losses are reflected in the statement of operations. Revenue and
expenses
are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the
period.
|
|
Subsidiaries that are financially or operationally dependent on the parent Company are accounted for under the temporal method of foreign currency translation. Under this method, monetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet dates. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rates for the period. Translation gains and losses of such subsidiaries’ accounts are reflected in the statement of operations. |
(j)
|
Revenue
|
Revenue
is recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists,
delivery
has occurred or the service has been performed, the fee is fixed
and
determinable and collection of the receivable is reasonably
assured. |
|
The
principal revenue recognition guidance used by SR Telecom
is the US
Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletins No. 101
and 104, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (SAB 101 and
SAB 104) and the Emerging Issues Committee (EIC) issued
abstracts on revenue recognition: EIC 141, Revenue Recognition,
and EIC 142, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple
Deliverables.
More
specifically, revenue for hardware sold on a stand-alone
basis is
recognized upon delivery, when all significant contractual
obligations
have been satisfied and collection is reasonably assured.
For contracts
involving multiple elements, the Company determines if the
elements within
the arrangement can be separated amongst its different elements,
using
guidance under Canadian and US generally accepted accounting
principles.
That is, (i) the product or service represents a separate
earnings
process; (ii) objective, reliable and verifiable evidence
of fair value
exists; and (iii) the undelivered elements are not essential
to the
functionality of the delivered elements. Under this guideline,
the
Company
recognizes revenue for each element based on relative fair
values.
Telecommunications service revenue is recognized as the services
are
rendered.
The
Company’s products and services are generally sold pursuant to contracts
or purchase orders. Revenue is recognized in the same manner
as when the
products and services are sold separately. Hardware revenue
is recognized
upon delivery, and service revenue is recognized as the services
are
performed. In order to determine if there is a loss on services
in a
contract, estimates of the costs to complete these services
are updated on
a monthly basis and are based on actual costs to date. These
costs are
analyzed against the expected remaining service revenue.
If the remaining
costs exceed the remaining revenue, a loss is immediately
recognized in
the financial statements.
The
Company is, pursuant to certain arrangements, subject to
late delivery
penalties on equipment sales. Penalties are recorded as a
reduction of
revenue, when the revenue is recognized.
The
Company’s customary trade terms include, from time to time, holdbacks
on
contracts (retainages on contracts) that are due for periods
extending
beyond one year and are included in long-term accounts receivable
(see
note 5). Performance of the Company’s obligations under contracts is
independent of the repayment terms. Revenue associated with
holdbacks is
recorded in the same manner as described above.
The
Company ensures collection of its revenue through the use
of insurance
companies, letters of credit and the analysis of the credit
worthiness of
its customers.
The
Company’s products are not generally sold through resellers and
distributors.
Accruals
for warranty costs, sales returns and other allowances at
the time of
shipment are based on contract terms and experience from
prior
claims.
|
(k)
|
Research
and development
|
The Company incurs costs relating to the research and development of new products. Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development costs are expensed as incurred unless specific criteria for deferral, in accordance with Canadian GAAP, are met. The development costs are not considered deferrable at this time. Government grants and recognized investment tax credits are netted against such costs. |
(l)
|
Derivative
financial instruments
|
Derivative
financial instruments are utilized by the Company in the management
of its
foreign currency risk. The Company does not enter into financial
instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company enters
into
offsetting forward exchange contracts when it is deemed appropriate.
The
Company does not use hedge accounting for these transactions. The
derivatives are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet with
changes
in fair value recorded in the statement of operations under gain
(loss) on
foreign exchange. Changes in the fair values of the forward contracts
partially offset the corresponding translation gains and losses
on the
related foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities.
No
such contracts exist as at December 31,
2006. |
(m)
|
Earnings
per share
|
The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations regardless of the materiality of the difference between them, and uses the treasury stock method to compute the dilutive effect of options, warrants and conversion features of other instruments. |
(n)
|
Employee
benefit plan
|
SR
Telecom maintains a defined contribution retirement program covering
the
majority of its employees. A compensation expense is recognized
for the
Company’s portion of the contributions made under the plan. This plan was
suspended effective January 1,
2006.
|
(o)
|
Advertising
costs
|
Advertising
costs are expensed as incurred. Amounts expensed were nominal for
each of
the periods presented.
|
(p)
|
Use
of estimates
|
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure
of
contingent liabilities in these financial statements. Actual results
could
differ from those estimates. Balances and transactions that are
subject to
a high degree of estimation are: fair value determination of assets
and
liabilities; revenue recognition for long-term contracts; allowance
for
doubtful accounts receivable; inventory obsolescence; product warranty;
amortization; asset valuations; impairment assessments; income
taxes;
restructuring costs; stock-based compensation; convertible debt;
and other
provisions and contingencies.

New
accounting recommendations

|
Financial
instruments
The
CICA issued Section 3855 of the CICA Handbook, Financial Instruments –
Recognition and Measurement, which describes the standards for
recognizing and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities
and
non-financial derivatives. This section requires that (i) all
financial
assets be measured at fair value, with some exceptions such
as loans,
receivables and investments that are classified as held to
maturity, (ii)
other financial liabilities be measured at amortized cost or
classified as
held for trading purposes, and (iii) all derivative financial
instruments
be measured at fair value, even when they are part of a hedging
relationship. The CICA also reissued Section 3860 (as Section
3861) of the
CICA Handbook, Financial Instruments – Disclosure and
Presentation, which establishes standards for presentation of
financial instruments and non-financial derivatives, and identifies
the
information that should be disclosed about them. These revisions
come into
effect for years beginning on or after October 1, 2006. The
Company will
adopt these new sections effective January 1, 2007.
As
a result of adopting Section 3855, the Company’s deferred financing costs
on the credit facility and convertible term loan, currently
presented in
other assets on the consolidated balance sheet, will be reclassified
against long-term debt as of January 1, 2007. In addition,
completion fees
on the credit facility and convertible term loan, currently
presented in
accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the balance sheet,
will also
be reclassified to long-term debt as of January 1, 2007. As
a result of
the application of Section 3855, approximately $0.3 million
will be
recorded in opening deficit as at January 1, 2007 to reflect
the
difference between the straight-line and the effective interest
methods of
amortization.
Furthermore,
as a result of adopting Section 3855, the Company’s long-term accounts
receivable will be discounted to their amortized cost January
1, 2007.
Approximately $0.6 million will be recorded in opening deficit
as at
January 1, 2007 to reflect the difference between the amortized
cost and
the carrying value of the long-term accounts receivable.
In
accordance with the transitional provisions, prior periods
will not be
restated as a result of adopting this new accounting
standard.
Hedges
The
CICA issued Section 3865 of the CICA Handbook, Hedges. The
section is effective for years beginning on or after October
1, 2006. It
describes when and how hedge accounting may be applied. Hedging
is an
activity used by a company to change an exposure to one or
more risks by
creating an offset between changes in the fair value of a hedged
item and
a hedging item, changes in the cash flows attributable to a
hedged item
and a hedging item, or changes resulting from a risk exposure
relating to
a hedged item and a hedging item. Hedge accounting changes
the normal
basis for recording gains, losses, revenues and expenses associated
with a
hedged item or a hedging item in a company’s statement of operations. It
ensures that all offsetting gains, losses, revenues and expenses
are
recorded in the same period. The adoption of Section 3865 as
of January 1,
2007 will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.

|
On
February 18, 2004, the Company completed a public offering and
a private
placement of Units. Each Unit issued was comprised of one common
share and
one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant
entitled
the holder to acquire one common share at a price of $9 per common
share
until the end of February 2006. On February 24, 2004, the over-allotment
option related to the public offering was exercised. The total
net
proceeds to the Company amounted to $46.8 million after deducting
share
issue costs of $3.2 million.
|
|
The
gross proceeds of $50.0 million were allocated between common
shares and
warrants based on their then fair market values. Accordingly,
$38.8
million was allocated to common shares and $11.2 million to
the warrants.
The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model, assuming a weighted average risk-free
interest rate
of 4.3%, a dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 72.5%
and expected
life of the warrants of two
years.
|
(b)
|
The
Company effectively terminated its Employee Stock Purchase Plan
as of
January 1, 2004 and cancelled 80 common shares in
2004.
|
(c)
|
On
November 30, 2005, pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Debentures,
$10.0 million in principal amount of the Convertible Debentures
and $0.3
million of accrued interest payable in kind thereon were converted
into
common shares. Other conversions of Convertible Debentures took
place in
2005.
|
(d)
|
On
February 2, 2006, the Company completed a private placement and
converted
Convertible Debentures, including accrued interest payable in kind
thereon, into common shares. On February 27, 2006, the Company
completed a
similar private placement and converted Convertible Debentures,
including
interest payable in kind thereon, into common shares. Share issue
costs
amounted to $1.0 million.
|
(e)
|
On
July 24, 2006, the Company issued common shares to its former Interim
President and Chief Executive Officer as per the terms of an agreement.
Compensation expense of $1.1 million, as well as $0.7 million for
all
applicable taxes, was included in selling, general and administrative
expenses in 2006.

(b) | Bonds |
SR
Telecom has entered into bid and performance-related bonds associated
with
various customer contracts. Performance bonds generally have a
term of twelve months while bid bonds generally have a much shorter
term.
The potential payments due under these bonds are related to SR
Telecom’s
performance under applicable customer contracts. The total amount
of bid
and performance-related bonds that were available and drawn down
at
December 31, 2006 is $2.9 million ($2.0 million as at December
31, 2005
and $2.2 million as at December 1,
2005).
|
(c) | Guarantees |
The
Company has the following major types of
guarantees:
|
(i)
|
As
part of the normal sale of products, the Company has
provided its
customers with product warranties that generally extend
for one year to
two years for larger contracts. As at December 31, 2006, the
warranty provision is $0.9 million ($0.5 million as at
December 31, 2005
and $0.5 million as at December 1, 2005). The following
summarizes the
accrual of product warranties that is recorded as part
of accounts payable
and accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated
balance
sheets:

(ii)
|
The
Company also indemnifies its customers against actions from third
parties
related to intellectual property claims arising from the use of
the
Company’s products. Claims under such indemnifications are rare
and the associated fair value of the liability is not
material.
|
(iii)
|
Pursuant
to the acquisition of Netro, the Company has agreed to indemnify
and hold
harmless the directors and officers of Netro for a period of six
years to
2009.

Fresh
start accounting and asset impairment 2006
In
accordance with Canadian GAAP,
effective November 30, 2005, the Company adopted fresh
start accounting
(see Note 1). The Company reclassified the deficit that
arose prior to the
conversion to a separate account within shareholder’s equity and re-valued
its assets and liabilities to their estimated fair values.
The revaluation
adjustments were accounted for as a capital transaction
and are recorded
within the pre-fresh start accounting
deficit.
|
|
Under
US GAAP, the transaction did not qualify as a capital
reorganization and
accordingly, fresh start accounting was not adopted. The
adjustments reflect the reversal of fresh start accounting
adjustments
recorded under Canadian GAAP and the related effect
on current period
depreciation, amortization and cost of revenue in the
amounts of $2,6
million, $7.9 million and $ 0.1 million,
respectively.
|
|
In
addition, under Canadian GAAP, the asset impairments recorded
in 2006 was
based on the excess of the fresh start accounting carrying
value of
property, plant and equipment and intangible assets over
their estimated
fair value. Under US GAAP, the impairment charges were
determined as the excess of the historical carrying value
of such assets,
excluding any fresh start accounting, over their estimated
fair
value. Fair value was determined as the present value of
estimated future net cash flows. The asset impairment under US
GAAP in excess of that recorded under Canadian GAAP is
$7.0
million.
|
|
The
balance sheet adjustments are net of related depreciation,
amortization
and impairment charge
adjustments.
|
(c)
|
Asset
impairment 2001
Under
Canadian GAAP, an asset impairment charge recorded
in 2001 was based on
the difference between the carrying value of
certain assets and the
undiscounted future net cash flows. Under US
GAAP, the impairment charge
was calculated as the amount by which the carrying
value of the assets
exceeded their fair value. Fair value was determined
as the present value
of estimated future net cash flows. The resulting
adjustment is net of the
impact of
depreciation.
|
(d)
|
Convertible
redeemable secured
debentures
Under
Canadian GAAP, the
convertible redeemable secured debentures
are accounted for as described
in note 14. Under US GAAP, the issuance of Convertible
Debentures in 2005 resulted in the recognition
of a beneficial conversion
feature measured at the date of issuance.
The total value of the feature
on August 18, 2005 was $75.5 million and
$65.5 million was recognized on
that date when the Convertible Debentures
were issued and credited to
additional paid-in capital. This amount is
accreted over the life of the
Convertible Debentures using the effective
yield method. As at
December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005,
$65.4 million and $1.7 million,
respectively, were accreted to the Convertible
Debenture
liability.
|
|
The
remaining $10.0 million of Convertible
Debentures were subject to a
mandatory conversion clause, the date
of which was contingent on a number
of factors, and were initially credited
to a liability. The beneficial
conversion feature of this portion, being
$10.0 million, was only
recognized when the contingency was resolved,
on November 30, 2005, and on
that date it was reclassified from the
liability account to additional
paid-in capital. On the same date, pursuant
to the mandatory conversion
feature, an expense of $10.0 million
was recognized and recorded as the
convertible debenture liability, since
the accretion of these debentures
was accelerated by the conversion. Upon
conversion, $10.0 million of
Convertible Debentures, and $10.0 million
of additional paid-in capital,
were credited to share
capital.
|
|
The
terms and conditions of the Convertible
Debentures were examined to
determine if any of these terms
and conditions created embedded
derivatives. These features did
not result in the recognition
of any such
embedded
derivatives.
|
|
During
the year ended December 31,
2006, $63.0 million of the
Convertible
Debentures were converted,
of which $2.2 million had already
been
accreted and an additional
$60.8 million was recognized
as accretion
expense and credited to the
debenture liability. In addition,
$63.0
million of Convertible Debentures
and $63.0 million of additional-paid
in
capital were credited to
share capital. As at December
31, 2006 and
December 31, 2005, interest
accrued on these debentures,
payable through
the issuance of additional
debentures not yet issued,
amounted to $0.3
million and $2.3 million,
respectively.
|
(e)
|
Convertible
term loan
Under
Canadian GAAP, the
convertible term loan
is accounted for as described
in note
15. Under US GAAP, the issuance
of the convertible term
loan in
2006, resulted in the
recognition of a beneficial
conversion feature
measured at the date
of issuance. The total
value of this feature
on
December 16, 2006 was
$3.5 million. This amount
will be accreted over
the
life of the convertible
term loan using the effective
yield method. As
at December 31, 2006, $29
thousand was accreted
to the convertible
term loan.
|
The
terms and conditions of the
convertible term loan were
examined to
determine if any features of
these terms and conditions
created embedded
derivatives. These features
did not result in the recognition
of any such
embedded derivatives.
|
(f)
|
Bid
costs, deferred charges
and start-up costs
Under
Canadian GAAP, bid
costs, deferred charges
and start-up costs
that satisfy
specified criteria
for recoverability
are deferred and
amortized. Under
US
GAAP, such costs
are expensed as incurred.
The resulting adjustments
are
net of the amounts
amortized under Canadian
GAAP. For the year
ended
December 31, 2006,
there were no such
costs.
|
(g)
|
Derivative
instruments
Under
US GAAP, all derivative
instruments, including those embedded in contracts,
are recorded on the
balance sheet at fair value with gains or losses
recognized in earnings.
The estimated fair value of foreign exchange embedded
derivative net
assets is $0.08 million at December 31, 2006 and net liabilities of
$0.3 million at December 31,
2005.
|
(h)
|
Derivative
instruments
Under
US GAAP, all derivative
instruments, including those embedded in contracts,
are recorded on the
balance sheet at fair value with gains or losses
recognized in earnings.
The estimated fair value of foreign exchange
embedded derivative net
assets is $0.08 million at December 31, 2006 and net liabilities of
$0.3 million at December 31,
2005.

In
December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) published
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No.
123R, Share-Based
Payments. SFAS No. 123 amends SFAS 123, Stock-Based
Compensation issued in 1995 and supercedes Accounting
Principals Board
opinion (APB) No. 25 issued in 1972. Beginning on January
1, 2006, the
Company applied SFAS No. 123R using the modified version
of the
prospective application for the stock options granted.
Under that
transition method, compensation expense is generally
recognized over the
period during which an employee is required to provide
service in exchange
for the award (usually the vesting period). Compensation
cost is
recognized beginning on the required effective date
for the portion of
outstanding awards for which the requisite service
has not yet been
rendered, based on the grant-date fair value of those
awards calculated
under SFAS No. 123 for either recognition or pro forma
disclosures.
Stock-based compensation expense recognized for the
year ended December
31, 2006 was $1.9 million. As of January 1, 2006, the
total remaining
unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested
stock options was
nominal. The financial statements of prior periods do not
reflect any restated amounts resulting from the adoption
of FAS
123R.

Share
issue costs, restructuring costs and gross
profit relating to
CTR
Under
Canadian GAAP, share issue
costs may be charged to retained earnings.
Under US GAAP, share issue
costs must be deducted from the proceeds
of issue. In 2006, share issue
costs deducted from retained earnings
amounted to $965 thousand ($3.6
million in
2005).
|
|
For
US reporting purposes, inventory
write-downs in the nature described
in
note 22 would be included as
a component of cost of revenue
and not
included in restructuring
charges.
|
|
Under
Canadian reporting,
telecommunications operating
expenses have not been
included in the
determination of gross
profit. Under US reporting,
all operating costs
related to CTR would
be included in the determination
of gross profit. The
resulting gross (loss)
profit (including the
impact of other items
described in this note
that affect gross profit)
under US GAAP for the
years ended 2006, 2005
and 2004 was ($9.9) million,
$1.3 million and $29.3
million,
respectively.

Net
unrealized holding
gains (losses)
Under
SFAS 115, Accounting
for Certain
Investments in
Debt and Equity
Securities,
the Company’s investments
in
securities would
be classified
as available-for-sale
securities and
are
carried at fair
value. Unrealized
holding gains
and losses on
available-for-sale
securities are
excluded from
earnings under
US GAAP and
reported as a
net amount in
accumulated other
comprehensive
income (loss),
which is a separate
component of
shareholders’ equity on the
balance
sheet, until
realized. Upon
realization,
comprehensive
income (loss)
would
be adjusted to
reflect the reclassification
of the gains
or losses into
income (loss).
As at December
31, 2006 and
December 31,
2005, the Company
was not holding
any
investments.

Programs
with

thus,
the
adoption
of

In
June 2006, the FASB
issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) 48,
Accounting
for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes,
an
Interpretation of SFAS 109, Accounting
for Income
Taxes,
to create a
single model to address accounting for
uncertainty in tax positions taken
or expected to be taken in a tax return.
Under FIN 48, the tax benefit
from an uncertain tax position may be
recognized only if it is more likely
than not that the tax position will be
sustained, based solely on its
technical merits. The Company plans to
adopt FIN 48 beginning
January 1, 2007. The cumulative effect of adopting
FIN 48 will be
recorded in retained earnings. The Company
is currently evaluating the
potential impact, if any, that the adoption
of FIN 48 will have on the
Company's consolidated financial
statements.

In
September 2006, the FASB
issued SFAS 157, Fair
Value
Measurements.
This Statement defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring
fair value in US GAAP, and expands
disclosures about fair value
measurements. This Statement applies
to other accounting pronouncements
that require or permit fair valuemeasurements;
the FASB having
previously concluded in those accounting
pronouncements that fair value
is
the relevant measurement attribute.
Accordingly, this Statement does
not
require any new fair value measurements.
The Company plans to adopt this
Statement beginning January 1, 2007. The Company is
currently evaluating the potential
impact, if any, that the adoption
of
SFAS 157 will have on the Company's
consolidated financial
statements.

Term
Loan
On
July 3, 2007, the Company entered into
an agreement with a syndicate of
lenders comprised of shareholders of
the Company providing for a term loan
of up to $45.0 million, of which $35.0
million will be drawn at closing
and an additional $10.0 million will
be available for drawdown for a
period of up to one year from closing.
The term loan has a five-year term
and is subject to the same security
as the existing loans under the credit
facility, but ranking senior to the
existing loans. The term loan bears
cash interest at a rate equal to the
greater of 6.5% or the three-month
US
dollar LIBOR rate plus 3.85% and additional
interest that may be paid in
cash or in kind, at the option of the
Company, at a rate equal to the
greater of 7.5% or the three-month
US dollar LIBOR rate plus 4.85%. The
cash portion of the interest will be
payable in kind until December
2008. A payout fee of 5% of the term loan
will be paid to
lenders upon repayment or maturity
of the loan. Closing of the transaction
occurred on July 3,
2007.
|
|
In
connection with entering into
this new term loan, the syndicate
of lenders
has agreed to amend certain
terms of the initial advances
under the credit
facility and the convertible
term loan. The maturity date
has been amended
to match the maturity date
of this new financing, and
the cash portion of
the interest will be payable
in kind until December
2008
|
In addition, amendments were also made to the terms of the credit facility and the convertible term loan for the portion of the debt held by two of the lenders. A conversion right was granted to these two lenders whereby their respective portions would be convertible into common shares of the Company. As well, the conversion price of the portion of the convertible term loan held by one of the lenders was amended. |

plan
On

announced a plan to reorganize
its internal
operations, including
the wind-up of legacy
product operations and
centralization of activities.
In conjunction with the
implementation of

c) |
Sale
of property
On
April 12, 2007, the Company closed the
sale of its land and building
located in Montréal (Québec), Canada for gross proceeds of $8.6
million
|
The land and building had a net book value of $2.0 million and $3.1 million respectively as at December 31, 2006. This property is presented as part of the Wireless Telecommunications Products segment as at December 31, 2006. The land and building did not qualify to be presented as held for sale at year-end given that the Company has leased back a significant portion of the sold property for a term of 10 years at a rate of approximately $0.6 million per year. In accordance with GAAP, the Company will be accounting for the leaseback of the property as an operating lease. The Company realized a gain on sale of property of $3.6 million in the second quarter of 2007, which will be deferred and amortized over the term of the lease. As part of the lease agreement, the Company is to provide a security deposit of three months’ rent to be returned, proportionately, at the end of the third, fourth and fifth year of the lease. In addition, the purchaser has retained three months’ rent from the proceeds as additional security deposit to be returned at the earliest of when the Company completes two consecutive profitable quarters or the end of the lease term. |

Debenture
conversion
On
February 14, 2007, the Company announced
that it would redeem its
outstanding 10% convertible debentures
on March 6, 2007 for an amount
equal to $1,038.63 per $1,000 of principal
amount, representing the
principal amount plus $38.63 of accrued
but unpaid interest thereon to the
redemption date. Up to the redemption date,
debenture holders had the
option to convert all or a portion of their
convertible debentures and
accrued but unpaid interest thereon into
common shares at an effective
rate of $0.15 per common
share.
|
|
Prior
to March 6, 2007, $2.0
million convertible debentures,
including accrued but unpaid interest
thereon were converted into 13,181,651
common shares. The Company will
record these conversions as induced
early conversions, with the number
of
shares converted being measured
at $0.217 per common share, pursuant
to
the original terms of the convertible
debentures, and additional shares
issued to induce the conversion
being measured at fair value. The
resulting debt settlement gain
of $0.1 million will be included
in
financing expenses and incremental
conversion costs of $0.9 million
will
be included in
deficit.
|
On
March 6, 2007, the Company redeemed $0.7 million
of convertible debentures
and accrued but unpaid interest thereon for $0.8
million. The Company will
record this redemption as an early redemption of
debt, with the
consideration paid on extinguishment being allocated
to the debt and
equity components of the convertible debentures.
The resulting gain of
$0.05 million relating to the debt component will
included in financing
expenses and the resulting loss of $0.04 million
relating to the equity
component will be included in deficit.
|
As
of March 6, 2007, there were no outstanding 10%
convertible redeemable
secured debentures.

e)

Sale
of CTR
On
February 1, 2007,
the Company announced
the closing of the
sale of the
shares of its Chilean
subsidiary, CTR (Telecommunications
Service Provider
segment) to Chile.com,
an integrated telecom
service provider,
for
proceeds of nil.
As part of this transaction,
the Company was fully
released from all
of its obligations
with respect to CTR,
including
liabilites in respect
of loans to CTR amounting
to approximately
US$28.0
million for which
SR Telecom was guaranteeing
up to an amount of
US$12.0
million.
|
|
The
results of
operations
and the cash
flows of
the Telecommunications
Service
Provider
segment did
not qualify
for presentation
as discontinued
operations
as of December
31, 2006
as CTR only
became available
for sale
in its present
condition
in
2007.
|
Beginning February 1, 2007, the results of operations and the cash flows of the Telecommunications Service Provider segment will be presented in the financial statements as discontinued operations. |
The following information sets forth the summarized pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company as if the sale transaction had occurred on December 31, 2006, and the results of operations and cash flows as if the sale transaction had occurred on January 1, 2006.
