Reconciliation between Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP:

Our consolidated financial statements for the period have been prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP which, in our case conforms in all material respects with U.S. GAAP except for the accounting for development expenditures reported in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009 and for the allocation of proceeds received using the relative fair value method of accounting for Unit private placements for the fiscal years through October 31, 2008.

Under U.S. GAAP all development expenditures are expensed as incurred. In 2009, the Company has capitalized $2,000,611 of development costs under Canadian GAAP.

Until October 31, 2008, for all Unit private placement financings completed, the Company assigned 100% of the proceeds from these financings to the common shares and a nil value to the attached warrants. In the year ended October 31, 2009, the Company changed the estimates that it used to value the common shares and warrants included in the Unit private placement financings which it completed in the fiscal year then ended. It assigned the value to the warrants which formed part of these Unit private placements calculated in accordance with the Black Scholes option-pricing model. Under U.S. GAAP, using standards which are analogist, the valuation of the shares and warrants would be determined using the relative fair value approach. There is no change in aggregate shareholders’ equity. A reconciliation between Canadian and U.S. GAAP has been provided in the footnotes to the 2009 audited financial statements.

Currency and Exchange Rates

Our financial statements are all expressed in United States dollars. All other financial data appearing in this Form 20-F are expressed in United States dollars with the exception of certain limited cases when reference is made to instruments denominated in Canadian dollars (“CDN $”).

Transactions that were conducted in Canadian dollars or other foreign currencies have been converted into United States dollars using the 3 month average rate of exchange per quarter which rate approximates the rate of exchange prevailing at the date of such transactions. Assets and liabilities denominated in Canadian dollars or other foreign currencies but expressed in this Form 20-F in United States dollars have been converted into United States dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of the applicable financial statement.

D.             Risk Factors

We and our investors face a number of significant 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.

We are still in the development stage and have incurred substantial losses to date. We must raise additional funds for the continued development, testing and commercial exploitation of our technologies. The sources of these funds have not yet been identified and there can be no certainty that sources will be available in the future.

At October 31, 2009 we had approximately $106,000 cash on hand and our current monthly cash expenses were approximately $250,000. Subsequent to October 31, 2009, through to the date of this report, we have raised an additional $1,234,045 through the exercise of stock options and through private placement financings.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon completing the development of our technology for a particular application, achieving profitable operations, obtaining additional financing and successfully bringing our technologies to the market. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of the assets and liabilities that might be necessary should 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.

We currently have no operating revenue.

We have no revenues and there is no certainty that we will generate revenues in the near future. 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 get from each licensee and the ability of each licensee to compete in their particular market.

6


Our magnetic sensor technology is under development.

We continue to develop prototypes of our magnetic sensor technology in 2009 working with our industrial foundry partners, 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.

There is no certainty that these current initiatives will result in revenues and cash flow to the Company in future.

In the event that our magnetic sensor technology is successfully developed we will face competition from larger corporations who also sell sensor technology and who have greater financial resources than the Company.

Our success will be determined by the following factors which have not yet been tested or measured:

After completion of the development of our technology, 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. In addition, our success will depend on our ability 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.

Our MRAM technology is under development.

Our Magnetic Random Access Memory, also referred to herein as MRAM, which is a non-volatile memory technology that uses magnetic, thin film elements on a gallium arsenide substrate to store information, is currently under development and is therefore not yet proven to be commercially viable. As such, we are unsure if our development efforts will succeed and, accordingly, significant development work remains to be completed.

In the event our technology is developed, we will face competition when we are ready to sell or license our products. We will be required to introduce our technology into a well-developed market and compete with major corporations who manufacture, sell and license existing memory products such as DRAM, SRAM, EPROM, EEPROM and Flash memory. The market for memory technologies is dominated by major corporations who have established market segments for their memory technologies and products. These corporations have significantly greater financial resources which are required to design, develop, manufacture, market, sell and license their products and technologies. Many of these major corporations have worldwide wafer manufacturing and integrated circuit production facilities.

Our success will be determined by the following factors which have not yet been tested or measured:

After completion of the development of our technology, 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. In addition, our success will depend on our ability 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.

Our competitors are seeking to develop other magnetic based memory technologies.

MRAM as a market segment is both crowded and competitive. We understand that other companies have research and development efforts under way in connection with non-volatile random access memory, also referred to herein as RAM. Much work is being done in the MRAM research and development at companies such as NVE, Cypress, Freescale, Phillips, Motorola and others. Other research and development efforts at IBM, Hewlett Packard and Nantero are focused on non-magnetic based non-volatile RAM. While these companies may be considered our competitors, their focus is on high-density RAM applications. As we anticipate introducing our product in the less competitive, low-density applications market, we believe our more direct competitors are Honeywell, Naval Research Laboratories, Ramtron and NVE. All of these companies have substantial resources at their disposal.

We may be materially affected by aggressive competition as the memory and data storage industry is highly competitive and customers make their decisions based on a number of competitive factors, including functionality, technology, performance, reliability, system scalability, price, quality, product availability, customer service and brand recognition. We must address each of these factors effectively in order to successfully compete.

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

Since there is no assurance that revenues will be realized in the near future, we will need additional financing to continue our research and development and to successfully market our technology to potential licensees and strategic partners. While we have had sufficient funds thus far to meet our requirements, there is no assurance we will be able to continue to do so and failure to raise sufficient funds in the future will affect our ability to develop and market our technology.

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.

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 exclusive rights to our technology, including any improvements that may be made on that technology from time to time by us or on our behalf. While our technology is patented or is subject to pending patent applications in the United States and we know of no challenge that has been made either against our technology or our rights to it, and 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 is 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 the foreseeable future.

To date, we have been solely a development company. We have not been profitable to date. Unless and until we are able to successfully complete the development of our technology and develop markets for the commercialization of such technology, we may not be able to generate revenues in future periods and we may not be able to attain profitability.

The development of non-volatile random access memory products is a capital intensive business. Therefore, we expect to incur expenses without corresponding revenues at least until we are able to license our technology to third parties. This may result in net operating losses, which will increase until we can generate an acceptable level of revenues, which we may never attain.

8


Further, even if we do achieve operating revenues, there can be no assurance that such revenues will be sufficient to fund continuing operations. Therefore, we cannot predict whether we ever be able to achieve profitability.

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 lack manufacturing capacity and will continue to be dependent on third party manufacturers.

Our success will partially depend upon our ability to secure manufacturing of our technology in large quantities and at competitive prices. We have no in-house manufacturing capacity and do not anticipate developing such capacity. To the extent we are successful in completing the development of our technology we will likely be required to rely upon contract manufacturers to produce our products. We may not be able to enter into manufacturing arrangements on terms that are favorable to us. Moreover, there is no assurance that any future manufacturers will have the capability to manufacture our products in sufficient quantities to achieve profitability and within the quality, price, and technical standards required by our customers. In addition, because our technologies use semi-conducting materials other than silicon, there may be a limited number of contract manufacturers capable of producing our products since most are focusing on silicon-based manufacturing. If any future manufacturers should cease doing business with us or experience delays, shortages of supply or excessive demands on their capacity, we may not be able to obtain adequate quantities of product in a timely manner, or at all. Manufacturing new products involves integrating complex designs and processes, coordinating with suppliers for parts and components, and managing manufacturing capacities to accommodate forecasted demand. Failure to obtain sufficient quantities of parts and components, as well as other manufacturing delays or constraints, could adversely affect the timing of new product introductions. Any manufacturing problem or the loss of a contract manufacturer could be disruptive to our operations and result in lost sales.

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 non-volatile random access memory technologies and sensors. Reliance on a limited range of products could restrict our ability to respond to adverse business conditions. If we are not successful in developing this specific technology, 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. In such case our business would likely be at a significant disadvantage to other competitors in the field. As a result, the limited range of products we intend to develop could limit our 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 MRAM technology, 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 or at all. 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 any eventual licensees' products will be technologically viable, nor 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 research, 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 affect on our future royalty payments and financial condition.

Our supply of future products could be dependent upon relationships with key suppliers.

We will be reliant on third parties to supply the raw materials needed to manufacture our future products. Any reliance on suppliers may involve several risks, including a potential inability to obtain critical materials and reduced control over production costs, delivery schedules, reliability and quality. Any unanticipated disruption to future contract manufacture caused by problems at suppliers could delay shipment of products, increase our cost of goods sold and result in lost sales.

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 since our technology is currently in the development stage and our financial resources are limited. However, if we are successful in completing our development efforts, we will need to add marketing and sales expertise in the computer technology business. We must also develop the necessary supporting distribution channels. Although we believe we can build the required infrastructure, we may not be successful in doing so if we cannot attract personnel or generate sufficient capital to fund these efforts. Failure to establish a sales force and distribution network would have a material adverse effect on our ability to grow our business.

The rights to certain of our patented technologies are shared with a third party.

Our earliest technology included a memory design with the magnetic bit aligned vertically to the substrate, also referred to herein as our VEMRAM technology. We have abandoned the development of this earliest technology. We acquired ownership of certain patents and patent applications covering the VEMRAM technology, as well as certain related rights, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of December 10, 2000 with Estancia Limited, also referred to herein as Estancia. However, under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement we have been required to convey back to Estancia a 40% undivided interest in the VEMRAM patents, as well as the right to participate in gross profits and royalties from the license or sale of such patents. This participation right requires us to pay to Estancia 32% of (i) the gross profit, less expenses to be agreed by the parties, for each license of the patents sold or otherwise transferred by us and (ii) all royalties received by us as a result of the license or sale of the patents less reasonable expenses directly related to the obtaining of such royalties.

We will be reliant upon contractual rights to use certain technologies that are material to our business.

Until 2008, certain technologies material to our business have been developed through collaborative arrangements with the University of Toronto. We entered into a number of successive Research Collaboration Agreements with the University of Toronto under which research and development programs were led by a University research team. We have provided funding, equipment and background technology to these projects. Certain Canadian governmental entities are also parties to these agreements and have provided additional funding. The University of Toronto has ownership rights to all intellectual property developed under these programs. We have no ownership rights but have the right to obtain exclusive, world-wide and perpetual sub-licenses from the governmental participants to use such intellectual property; the governmental participants in turn have the right to obtain an exclusive, world-wide license to such technology directly from the University of Toronto.

Our auditors have previously identified material weaknesses in our internal accounting control over financial reporting.

We operate as a development stage company and have historically had only limited accounting personnel and resources with which to address our internal control procedures.

In the 2009 fiscal year we devoted more internal resources to the measurement and assessment of our internal accounting controls. We appointed one of our senior accounting staff, supervised by our Chief Financial Officer and our Audit Committee, to organize this initiative and provided certain training to assist that individual with her responsibilities. We designed our testing to assess all perceived higher risk areas and completed our testing of the internal controls and procedures in all of these areas over a five month period through September 2009.

In its Attestation Report dated February 17, 2010, our auditors identified one material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting. This material weakness and management’s response is described in Item 15 of this Annual Report.

In its Attestation Report dated February 16, 2009 our auditors identified three material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting for the year ended October 31, 2008. These material weaknesses and management’s responses are described in Item 15 of this Annual Report and the Annual Report for the year ended October 31, 2008.

Although we have implemented compensating controls in our systems and our procedures which we believe mitigate these risks, 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.

10


Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance and not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In the unforeseen event that lapses in the internal controls and procedures occur and/or mistakes arise, the Company intends to take the necessary steps to minimize the consequences thereof. If, however, we fail to maintain adequate controls and procedures, we may not meet the demands that are placed upon us as a public company, including the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and our business could accordingly face repercussions.

We depend on key personnel.

Our senior managers and employees are Salvatore Fuda, who serves as the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Joseph Fuda, who serves as our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Steven Van Fleet, who has primary responsibility for business development and who serves as President of our wholly-owned subsidiary, MAST Inc. 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. We have also engaged Dreifus Associates Ltd., a technical and intellectual property consulting firm whose major shareholder, Henry Dreifus, served as a director of Micromem between March 2008 and June 2009. 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. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to successfully develop, manufacture, and market innovative new products 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 adoption of our MRAM technology.

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

Our new product research and 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 research and development efforts could be adversely affected by hardware and software design flaws, product development delays, changes in data storage technology, 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. Our failure to obtain sufficient quantities of parts and components or other manufacturing delays and constraints could adversely affect our ability to timely introduce new products.

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

We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to continue to develop new intellectual property or that we will continue to have it developed for us.

11


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 all of 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.

We may be materially affected if we are unable to attract, retain and motivate key employees.

Our future success depends, in large part, on our ability to attract, retain and motivate key employees. We face significant competition for individuals who possess the skills required to design, develop, manufacture, and market our technologies. An inability to successfully attract, retain, and motivate these employees in the future could have an adverse effect on our future operating and financial performance.

There are foreign exchange risks associated with our company.

Because we have historically raised funding in U.S. dollars, and a significant 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 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. In order to approve a person's account for a transaction in penny stock, the broker or dealer must (i) obtain information concerning the person's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine, based on the information required by paragraph (i) that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the person and that the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters that the person reasonably may be expected to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stock; and (iii) deliver to the person a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the determination required by paragraph (ii) in this section, stating in a highlighted format that it is unlawful for the broker or dealer to effect a transaction in a penny stock unless the broker or dealer has received, prior to the transaction, a written agreement to the transaction from the person; and stating in a highlighted format immediately preceding the customer signature line that the broker or dealer is required to provide the person with the written statement and the person should not sign and return the written statement to the broker or dealer if it does not accurately reflect the person's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives, and obtain from the person a manually signed and dated copy of the written statement. 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:

12


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.

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 $223 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:

13


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, also referred to herein as the common shares, 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.

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.

Research and Development Efforts

The Board of Directors formed a Technical Advisory Committee in mid 2007 consisting of Larry Blue and Steve Van Fleet, two of its Directors and both of whom have substantial industry experience and careers in related technology. To round out the Technical Advisory Committee, the Company recruited Mr. Henry Dreifus of Dreifus Associates Limited of Orlando, Florida. It recruited Mr. Dreifus as its candidate of choice, having considered a number of other technical experts from across North America.

The Technical Advisory Committee took the leadership role in the Company's technical developments commencing in September, 2007. At the time, with ongoing assistance provided by Strategic Solutions, the Company engaged Global Communications Semiconductor Ltd. (“GCS”) of California to develop initial prototypes in its California-based foundry. GCS had considerable experience in dealing with gallium arsenide-based applications which was a significant consideration in the selection of that foundry.

Between September 2007 and February 2008, the Company announced a series of development milestones achieved in the GCS foundry. Through the efforts of our Technical Advisory Committee, the Company determined that it would pursue the further development of its magnetic sensor market opportunities in the immediate term while pursuing the longer term goal of also developing its memory applications.

The Company continues to rely on a number of key advisors including GCS, Dreifus Associates Ltd. (“DAL”) and BAE. It has worked exclusively with Morgan Lewis LLP with respect to its intellectual property filings with respect to all of this development work.

During 2008 – 2009, we entered into joint development and/or manufacturing agreements with BAE Systems (“BAE”), Unotron Inc. (“Unotron”), LifeMed Technologies Inc. (“LMTI”) and NEMT Ltd. (“NEMT”) as discussed below:

BAE: In early 2008, BAE expressed initial interest in the Company's sensor technology. The Company and BAE executed the appropriate confidentiality material transfer agreements and began discussions with respect to specific project work to be conducted in BAE's foundries in the United States. In August 2008, the Company entered into a working agreement with BAE whereby the Company agreed to commit up to $1 million of funding to BAE-led development work on its sensor technology. The Company retains exclusive ownership of any intellectual property that is developed in this initiative. The end goal of the BAE development work is to identify specific applications where BAE would incorporate the Company's technology into their product offerings to their own large defense and aerospace customers.

During 2009, Micromem and BAE Systems successfully completed the manufacturing of a multi-bit array structure of our memory. The work was completed in BAE’s U.S. Department of Defense (“DOD”) foundry in Nashua New Hampshire. Micromem submitted the multi-bit array structure in a reticle design format to BAE which manufactured the memory using their proprietary high mobility epi layer and their standard foundry processes. The magnetic processing steps required in the manufacture of our memory was subcontracted to specialty manufacturers. Memory testing was completed by a certified third party company.

Micromem and BAE Systems were successful in creating a fully functioning multi-bit MRAM cell. We believe that we have proved the efficacy of our memory patent portfolio. Our strategy is to license the memory patent portfolio to clients that have specific end user requirements that require low power, high temperature radiation hardened memory.

BAE tested and validated the high sensitivity of our magnetic sensor. Our strategy is to perform joint business development with BAE to the DOD and increase the government’s interest in our technology, whereupon BAE and Micromem intend to enter into a licensing agreement whereby our technology will be transferred to BAE for integration into their product portfolio.

Unotron.: Unotron and Micromem entered into a manufacturing agreement in 2009 that requires Micromem to develop a magnetic sensor based keyboard substrate that is to be integrated into Unotron’s waterproof and washable keyboards. These keyboards can be placed within a commercial dishwasher to prevent diseases from being transmitted on the keyboard. In 2009, Micromem designed, manufactured, tested and delivered the initial volume of keyboards to Unotron in Hong Kong. The keyboard are being tested and submitted for FCC/CE certification. Our strategy is to begin routine manufacturing of the keyboard substrates in 2010.

15


LMTI: In 2009 Micromem and LMTI entered a manufacturing agreement pursuant to which we received a $30 million Purchase Order. Under the terms of the agreement, Micromem will design, manufacture prototypes, submit and obtain FDA 510(K) approval and manufacture a medical device that incorporates our magnetic sensor technology. The medical device is designed to provide early detection of abnormalities in women’s breasts. We believe the medical device will be cost effective, easy to use and directed at providing a simple home test for early breast cancer indication.

The prototype product has been designed and fully tested. The FDA 510(K) process has begun. Micromem has engaged King and Spaulding in Washington DC as our FDA attorney. Micromem has contracted with a physician in New York City who has experience in running clinical trials in the breast cancer detection area. Our strategy in 2010, pending FDA approval of the product, is to begin routine manufacturing for LMTI. It is anticipated that LMTI will receive product from Micromem in 2010.

NEMT: In 2010 Micromem and NEMT entered into a manufacturing agreement to develop a magnetic device capable of detecting small changes in the earth’s magnetic signature. NEMT desires to use this for aerial exploration in the Bearing Sea for oil and gas reserves. The prototype device was designed and built and tested in the field by NEMT. In late 2009 NEMT discovered two oil reserves in 400 meters of water.

Our strategy is to deliver the final product during the first quarter of 2010 to NEMT, which will use the device to fulfill an exploration contract they were awarded last year. Upon successful extended operation of the product, we will consider entering into a licensing and sales agreement with NEMT.

Changes to Our Board of Directors and Management

At our Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on June 30, 2009, Salvatore Fuda, Andrew Brandt, Joseph Fuda, David Sharpless, Steven Van Fleet, Oliver Nepomuceno and Larry Blue were reelected to serve on our Board of Directors. Henry Dreifus did not stand for reelection but continued as a consultant to the Company. Messrs. Salvatore Fuda, Joseph Fuda, Dan Amadori and Steven Van Fleet’s continue to serve as officers of the Company.

B.    Business Overview

We are engaged in the development of memory technology having the characteristic of non-volatility, which is the ability to retain information after power has been shut off. Our technology is based on our ability to use magnetic materials in combination with a sensor to record the “state of magnetization.” Each magnetic element stores one bit of data based on its ability to alternate between states of magnetic polarization, which states are determined by a sensor. Our technology represents “1”s and “0”s by the different polarization of magnets. For example, a magnet oriented north/south is a “1” and a magnet oriented south/north is a “0”. The magnetic field strength and direction do not decay when power is switched off, and, therefore, the memory is non-volatile.

Since 2007 we have pursued the further development of our memory and our sensor technology with the support of two U.S.-based foundries, GCS in California and BAE in New Hampshire. We have executed joint development/manufacturing agreements with Unotron, NEMT and LMTI – see “Research and Development Efforts” beginning on page 15 of this Annual Report. We continue to make progress with these parties and believe that initial revenues and/or license fees will be realized in 2010 by the Company through these and other initiatives that it is pursuing.

We continue to expand the portfolio of patents and patent applications protecting the technology that we are developing.

Industry Background

The semiconductor memory industry is principally driven by the requirements of the computing industry. The nature of the memory manufacturing industry is that it is capital intensive, cyclical, rapidly changing and it depends significantly on patent protection.

The semiconductor industry is intensely competitive. Both low-density and high-density nonvolatile memory products are manufactured and marketed by major corporations possessing worldwide wafer manufacturing and integrated circuit production facilities and by specialized product companies.

16


Our Company's Technology

The various characteristics of the our technology can be better understood by describing the three basic types of memory used in present day computers, Random Access Memory (RAM), Read Only Memory (ROM), and secondary storage devices. The three types of memory are described below:

Random Access Memory (RAM) is memory that can be both read and written randomly, which means that its storage locations can be accessed in any order. Thus, a computer using RAM can find and go directly to the selected location rather than performing a sequential search. Semiconductor RAM is usually the primary memory associated with the computer's central processing unit (CPU), the computational unit of the computer responsible for interpreting and executing instructions. However, RAM is volatile which means that all stored information vanishes once the power supply is removed and must be restored from a secondary storage device each time the power is resumed.

Two typical examples of RAM are Dynamic Random Access Memory and Static Random Access Memory. Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) uses integrated circuits containing capacitors to achieve significant storage capacity and speed. DRAM can be written and read in the speed range of less than 100 nanoseconds. DRAM has a major drawback in that its capacitors lose their charge over time and therefore information contained in DRAM must be continually refreshed. This means that, on average, DRAM must stop operations every 16-30 milliseconds and restore all of the data it contains or the data will disappear. During this refresh time, the processor has no access to the information being refreshed. Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) differs from DRAM in that it stores information in a logic circuit referred to as a flip-flop, rather than in a capacitor. SRAM memory does not need to be refreshed while the power is on, but also loses its information once the power is turned off.

Read Only Memory (ROM), like RAM, can be read randomly, but cannot be written randomly. Unlike RAM, however, it is non-volatile and therefore does not lose its information when a computer's power is cut off. ROM is typically employed to store vital program information required during the first moments after a computer is powered on. It may be used for such purposes as forcing system test routines, directing the processor to input/output devices or for controlling access to certain computer subsystems such as hard drives. EPROMs (erasable programmable read-only memory) and EEPROMs (electrically erasable read-only memory) are read only memories that can be erased and rewritten, but must be written “en masse,” rather than at the individual word level. “Flash” memory is a form of EEPROM that is widely used today in such devices as cell phones, modems and personal digital assistants. The drawbacks to Flash memory are that write times are slower, the number of read/write cycles are limited and there is a requirement for significantly higher power to store data.

Secondary Storage Devices include CDs, which are light and portable and are written and read by a motor driven mechanical drive. They normally have a storage capacity in the low megabyte range and are non-volatile and can be both written and read. However, since they are serial (as opposed to parallel) devices, they are considerably slower than RAM.

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 and based on magnetic properties. We are developing this form of magnetic random access memory for low-density applications, such as RFID, that can benefit from non-volatile data storage.

Competition

We are aware of others conducting research, development and commercialization in the magnetic non-volatile memory area. These include IBM Research (San Jose, California), Ovonyx, Inc. (Troy, Michigan), Hewlett-Packard (Palo Alto, California), Honeywell (Plymouth, Minnesota), Motorola (Phoenix, Arizona) and Freescale Semiconductor.

Two main centers of MRAM research are at IBM and Infineon. IBM and Infineon have alternative MRAM technologies based on the giant magneto resistance principle. This giant magneto resistance principle primarily consists of two ferromagnetic layers separated by a conductive nonmagnetic interlayer. The electrical resistance is high in the absence of an external magnetic field. However, an applied external field forces the initially anti-parallel magnetization in the coupled films into parallel alignment and the resistance drops. The high or low resistance determines the data storage state. Magnetic tunnel junction cells, as they are known, have similar sandwiched structures but the interlayer is insulating instead of conducting. In contrast to giant magneto resistance structures, in which the sense current flows parallel to the layers, the current in magnetic tunnel junction flows perpendicularly to the layers of the stack.

17


Even thought we cite these companies as our competitors, because they develop MRAM technology, it should be noted that our technology is significantly different with respect to the device architecture and mechanism of functioning.

Equity Financing Transactions

On September 16, 2007 the Company secured a 30-day bridge loan from an arms’ length investor in the amount of $505,000. The Company paid a 5% financing fee to arrange the bridge loan and issued 250,000 common share purchase warrants to acquire common shares at a exercise price of $0.50 per share. The Company recorded a non-cash expense of $85,484 with respect to these warrants, calculated in accordance with the Black Scholes option-pricing model. The warrants have a one-year term and expired in September 2008 unexercised. The bridge loan was repaid in October 2007.

In October 2007, the Company completed a series of private placement financings with eight arms’ length investors pursuant to prospectus and registration exemptions set forth in applicable securities laws. The Company received a total of $716,230 subscription proceeds and issued a total of 1,577,368 common shares.

The Company secured a 30 day bridge loan of $200,000 from an arms’ length investor in January 2008. The interest rate on the bridge loan was 4% due in 30 days. As additional consideration, the Company issued 100,000 common share purchase warrants at a exercise price of $0.60 per share. The loan was repaid in February 2008.

During the 2008 fiscal year, the Company completed a series of private placement financings with arms length investors pursuant to prospectus and registration exemptions set forth in applicable securities laws. In total, the Company received proceeds from the issuance of 4,152,296 common shares, realizing proceeds totaling $2,980,030. In certain of these private placement financings, common share purchase warrants were attached as follows:

  (a)

200,000 warrants issued at a price of $1.17 per warrant issued on July 31, 2008;

     
  (b)

75,000 warrants issued at a price of $0.95 per warrant issued on August 26, 2008; and

     
  (c)

262,128 warrants issued at a price of $1.17 per warrant on September 2, 2008

These warrants expire twelve months after issue date if unexercised.

During the fiscal year ending October 31, 2008 investors exercised a total of 3,421,318 common share purchase warrants to acquire common shares at a price of $0.40 per warrant and the Company realized proceeds of $1,368,527.

In 2008, the holders of the 800,000 common share purchase warrants that were issued pursuant to certain financial advisory services agreements exercised these warrants on a cashless basis. The stock price was $2.09 per share on the date of exercise and the exercise price was $0.40 per warrant. These warrants were "in the money" to the extent of $1,352,000 and the Company issued a total of 686,886 common shares to fulfill the obligations under these agreements.

A total of 1,440,000 common stock options were exercised by directors, officers and consultants in 2008 and the Company realized proceeds of $1,010,500.

During the 2009 fiscal year, the Company completed a series of private placement financings with arm’s length investors pursuant to prospectus and registration exemptions set forth in applicable securities laws. In total, the Company received proceeds of $2,958,842 from the issuances of 4,393,535 common shares. In certain of these financings common share purchase warrants were attached as follows:

  a)

1,153,846 warrants at a price of $0.70 per warrant issued on February 11, 2009;

     
  b)

1,333,333 warrants at a price of $0.75 per warrant issued on April 6, 2009;

     
  c)

390,624 warrants issued at a price of $1.20 per warrant on May 14, 2009;

18



  f)

500,000 warrants issued at a price of $0.95 per warrant on August 25, 2009

The warrants issued on May 19, 2009 had a term of four months and expired unexercised. All other warrants issued in 2009 have a twelve month term from issue date. 39,062 warrants issued on May 14, 2009 were broker warrants issued to the financial advisor who secured financing for the Company. A charge to share capital in the amount of $14,297 has been recorded in accordance with the Black Scholes option-pricing model with respect to these broker warrants.

In 2009 warrant holders exercised 200,000 common share purchase warrants and the Company realized proceeds of $234,000.

Cash proceeds realized during the year ended October 31, 2009 by the Company upon the exercise of 1,652,801 options by officers and directors and staff totaled $992,417.

Subsequent to October 31, 2009, the Company raised an additional $1,243,045 through private placements and issued 2,448,720 Units. Each Unit consists of one common share and one share purchase warrant. Of this total, Mr. Salvatore Fuda, the Chairman of the Company subscribed for 341,000 Units at a Unit price of $0.44 per Unit and the Company realized proceeds of $150,000.

Patents and Trademarks

We believe that protection of our intellectual property is important to our ability to generate revenues from our technology in the future. We have both issued patents and pending patent applications and 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 will 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.

Our magnetic patent portfolio comprises separate series of patents and patent applications as follows:

  (a)

our initial patents covering what is referred to as the Vemram and Hemram technologies which the Company has not further pursued since 2002;

     
  (b)

those covering technologies developed pursued to research collaboration agreements with the University of Toronto; and

     
  (c)

those applications covering the technology developments that the Company has furthered since it began working with the US-based foundries and BAL in September, 2007.

     
  (d)

those applications covering the technology development that the Company has furthered in collaboration with DAL, under contract to provide technical design services to the Company.

Morgan Lewis LLP has served as our patent attorneys since 2005. In 2008 and again in 2009, we filed several provisional 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 2009 Compared to Fiscal 2008

The Company remained in pre-revenue mode as at October 31, 2009. We reported interest income totaling $88,047 in 2009, of which 11,382 was relating to interest income compared to $11,762 in 2008. The remaining $76,665 (2008: nil) relates to recoveries under the Scientific Research and Experimental Development tax program. We earned interest income on temporarily available surplus funds in 2009 including $5,000 of interest on the Unotron debenture which we executed in 2009.

In Fiscal Year 2009, the Company made important advances with a number of strategic development partners. The notable developments include the Company’s agreements with BAE Limited, Unotron Inc., NEMT Inc. and LifeMed Technologies Inc. Additionally, the Company has developed a “pipeline” of other initiatives that it is pursuing and it has made specific strides in the development of sensor technology for several industrial vertical applications, including sensors for the oil and the mining sectors.

Significantly, in 2009, and as a result of these advances, the Company has determined that its continuing activities related to the development of its memory and sensor technology meet the criteria for deferral of development costs. Accordingly, the associated costs of these activities have been capitalized and are reflected in our balance sheet at October 31, 2009. The total deferred development costs which have been capitalized are $2,000,611(2008: nil) and include directly related consulting fees, materials and third party costs. No amortization has been taken to date.

Administration costs increased to $937,148 in 2009 from $604,203 in 2008. The Company engaged the Investor Relations Group (IRG) of New York in September 2008. We initially agreed to monthly payments of $13,500 plus 25,000 common shares per month. In May 2009, the agreement was renegotiated to payments of $7,500 and 12,500 common shares per month. The agreement expired in September 2009. The Company re-billed certain related companies who share office space with it and which have certain common officers and directors. At October 31, 2009 the Company has reserved the outstanding accounts receivable less any amounts collected subsequent to year-end with certain of these parties given the uncertainty of collection. In 2009 the activity in MAST increased significantly. The major components of the MAST expense as reported include market research ($140,000) investor relations ($112,000) and travel expenses ($66,000).

We incurred $3,240,960 of professional fees, other fees and salaries in 2009 compared to $3,304.771 in 2008. The cash component of this amount, excluding the Black Scholes value of stock options granted, was $1,289,391 in 2009 compared to 2,263,357 in 2008. In 2008 we incurred approximately $125,000 of legal fees pertaining to the termination of Ms. Cynthia Kuper. The cash compensation paid to our Chairman, Mr. Salvatore Fuda, was $129,149 in 2009 versus $416,171 in 2008; no incentive-based compensation was earned under the terms of the employment agreement with Mr. Fuda in 2009. In 2008 we incurred approximately $80,000 of outside consultant costs relating to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”) review of internal accounting controls. In 2009, this review was performed internally. Management bonuses were $50,000 in 2008 and nil in 2009. We incurred $300,000 in fees with respect to services provided by DAL in 2008 versus $77,000 in 2009. Legal expenses with respect to our patent filings and IP portfolio were $151,000 in 2009 versus $253,000 in 2008.

In 2009, the Company capitalized all but $13,880 of the development expenses which it incurred; prior to 2009, all of these expenditures were expensed. The significant research and development expenditures incurred in 2009 included Strategic Solutions, $184,000; BAE, $428,000; GCS, $305,000; NanoOpto, $405,000; DAL, $351,000; all other $131,000; for a total expenditure of $1,804,000.

In 2008 the Company paid $38,952 in fees to Professor Harry Ruda, our Chief Research Scientist at the University of Toronto, who was on a $5,000 ($CDN) monthly retainer until it was terminated in June 2008. The Company reported accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $286,430 (CDN) at October 31, 2007 as payable to the University of Toronto; this obligation was settled by total payments in 2008 of $145,000 (CDN) and the issuance of 30,000 common shares valued at issue date at approximately $60,000. The Company recorded a recovery on final settlement with the University of Toronto of $76,037.

21


Strategic Solutions received a base monthly amount of $45,600 until December 2008 and was paid for additional work completed greater than the agreed upon base level of contract work. The Company continued to use Strategic Solutions on a month to month basis in 2009 but has ceased these arrangements in mid-year.

The payments to BAE are with respect to foundry services provided in the BAE facilities.

The work performed by GCS relates to the prototype development work completed in the GCS foundry in 2008 - 2009.

Travel expenses were $223,585 in 2009 versus $398,474 in 2008. We did not incur any travel expenses relating to our ex-CTO, Strategic Solutions or DAL in 2009 and made a concerted effort to reduce these costs during the 2009.

The net foreign exchange gain in 2009 was $28,154, compared to an expense of $52,231 in 2008, attributable to fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar. In 2009, the U.S. dollar appreciated against the Canadian dollar whereas in 2008 it depreciated.

We reported a net loss of $4,310,939 in 2009 or $0.05 per share compared to a net loss of $5,416,725 or $0.07 per share in 2008.

The Company issued a total of 1,345,000 common stock options in 2009 compared to 2,145,000 stock options in 2008.

Fiscal 2008 Compared to Fiscal 2007

The Company remained in pre-revenue mode as at October 31, 2008. We reported interest income totaling $11,762 in 2008 compared to $2,586 in 2007. We earned additional interest income on temporarily available surplus funds in 2008, a year in which we raised significant additional capital for the Company.

Administration costs increased to $604,203 in 2008 from $223,177 in 2007. In 2008 we engaged the services of a New York City based investor relations firm and incurred $78,000 of related costs. We reserved $88,000 of doubtful accounts receivable from certain related companies with whom we have overhead cost sharing agreements. These amounts were reserved due to uncertainty of collection. With the start-up of operations in MAST INC., our wholly-owned subsidiary, we incurred incremental direct costs associated with that entity totaling $31,000. Other administrative costs including telephone, insurance, rent increased in 2008 given higher level of general activity.

The cash component of professional, management and other consulting fees totaled $2,021,000 in 2008 versus $1,250,984 in 2007. The major component of the cost in 2008 included legal costs pertaining to our patent portfolio of $253,000, other legal costs totaling $287,000 including approximately $125,000 pertaining to the termination of Cynthia Kuper with the balance relating to listing fees in Canada and the adoption of a Shareholder Rights Plan. We reported $794,000 in management fees to our Chairman and key executives versus $791,000 in 2007. In 2008 we incurred approximately $80,000 of additional professional fees relating to compliance with SOX. We incurred $297,000 with respect to services provided by Dreifus Associates Limited (“DAL”) (2007 - $46,000) and $138,000 with respect to payments to the President of MAST INC. (2007 - $33,000) for the latter part of the year. The non-cash component of these fees total $1,041,414 (2007: $269,000) and related to stock compensation expense calculated in accordance with the Black Scholes option pricing model. This compensation expense relates to warrants issued in connection with financings completed in 2008 and to the vesting of stock options awards to officers, directors and employees.

Research and development costs total $1,063,508 in 2008 compared to $682,331 in 2007. The largest components of the costs incurred in 2008 included payments to Strategic Solutions totaling $729,000, to BAE totaling $400,000, and to GCS totaling $192,000. The BAE work began in 2008 and the work completed by Strategic Solutions accelerated considerably in 2008.

Travel and entertainment costs totaled $398,474 in 2008 compared to $141,200 in 2007. We incurred a substantial amount of additional travel expense in 2008 in pursuit of multiple potential strategic alliances and working arrangements with different companies in North America and in Europe. The bulk of the travel expenses related to costs incurred by Strategic Solutions, Steven Van Fleet in his capacity as President of MAST and as head of business development for the Company and, additionally, travel costs incurred by Henry Dreifus and DAL.

22


The Company issued a total of 2,145,000 stock options in 2008.

The foreign exchange loss in 2008 was $52,321 compared to a loss of $135,947 in 2007. These expenses reflect the significant appreciation of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar in 2007, a trend which continued through mid 2008 before the Canadian dollar depreciated against the US dollar in the second half of the fiscal year.

We reported a net loss of $5,416,725 in 2008 or a loss of $0.07 cents per share, compared to a loss of $2,811,378 or $0.04 cents per share in 2007.

B.             Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

We are a development stage company. We currently have no cash flow from operations and will have none until we are in a position to either license or directly produce and sell products utilizing our Technology.

We currently have no lines of credit in place 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, 2009, we had approximately $106,000 cash on hand and our monthly cash expenses approximate $250,000. Since October 31, 2009, we have raised an additional $1,243,045 through the exercise of stock options and private placements.

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.

Capital Resources

We had no commitments for capital expenditures as of October 31, 2009 or 2008. In 2009 we spent $9,668 on capital equipment.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies are set forth in Note 3 to 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 Canadian GAAP which, in our case conforms in all material respects with U.S. GAAP except for the accounting for development expenditures reported in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009 and for the allocation of proceeds received using the relative fair value method of accounting for Unit private placements for the fiscal years through October 31, 2008.

We are a development stage company. Under Canadian GAAP, research costs are expensed in the period incurred. Development expenses are expensed as incurred unless they meet the criteria for deferral and amortization under Canadian GAAP 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. In 2009, the Company has capitalized $2,000,611 of development costs under Canadian GAAP.

23


Until October 31, 2008, for all Unit private placement financings completed, the Company assigned 100% of the proceeds from these financings to the common shares and a nil value to the attached warrants. In the year ended October 31, 2009, the Company changed the estimates that it used to value the common shares and warrants included in the Unit private placement financings which it completed in the fiscal year then ended. It assigned the value to the warrants which formed part of these Unit private placements calculated in accordance with the Black Scholes option-pricing model. Under U.S. GAAP, using standards which are analogist, the valuation of the shares and warrants would be determined using the relative fair value approach. There is no change in aggregate shareholders’ equity. A reconciliation between Canadian and U.S. GAAP has been provided in the footnotes to the 2009 audited financial statements.

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 3 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.

Effective November 1, 2004, we have adopted the fair value method of accounting for employee stock-based compensation costs. The stock-based compensation expense for options granted during the fiscal years ending October 31, 2005 - 2009 has been reflected as an expense in the consolidated statement of operations.

Investment tax credits (ITC) arising from research and development are recognized when their realization is reasonably assured. The ITCs are applied against the related costs and expenditures in the year that they are incurred.

Investment tax credits (ITC) arising from research and development are recognized when their realization is reasonably assured. The ITCs are applied against the related costs and expenditures in the year that they are recognized.

Our research and development activities have been related primarily to research and development of a magnetic random access memory device and the development of our magnetic sensor through research collaboration agreements. Our research and development expenses for the year ended October 31, 2009 were $13,880 and $1,063,508 in fiscal 2008. We capitalized $2,000,611 of development expenditures in 2009 and reported these as deferred development costs on our balance sheet at October 31, 2009 (2008 – nil).

D.             Trend Information

The digital memory industry and, more broadly, the semiconductor industry, have historically been characterized by wide fluctuations in demand for and supply of semiconductors and memory technologies. Prior experience has shown that restructuring of operations, resulting in significant restructuring charges, may become necessary if an industry downturn were to occur.

Our prospects for revenues are dependent upon the successful completion of our technology development and the incorporation of any technology that may be developed under or pursuant to our research collaboration agreements.

E.             Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

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, a majority 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.

35


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

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".

36


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.

D.             Exchange Controls

As of the date hereof, we are not aware of any governmental laws, decrees or regulations in Canada that restrict the export or import of capital, including, but not limited to, foreign exchange controls, or that affect the remittance of dividends or other payments to nonresident holders of our common shares.

We are not aware of any limitations under the laws of Canada or the Province of Ontario, or in the Articles of Incorporation or any other of our constituent documents on the right of nonresidents of Canada or persons who are not Canadian citizens to hold and/or vote common shares.

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.

38


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.

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, a and at anytime 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.

CIRCULAR 230 DISCLOSURE

ANY TAX STATEMENT MADE HEREIN REGARDING ANY U.S. FEDERAL TAX IS NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE USED, AND CANNOT BE USED, BY ANY TAXPAYER FOR PURPOSES OF AVOIDING ANY PENALTIES. ANY SUCH STATEMENT HEREIN IS WRITTEN IN CONNECTION WITH THE MARKETING OR PROMOTION OF THE TRANSACTION TO WHICH THE STATEMENT RELATES. EACH TAXPAYER SHOULD SEEK ADVICE BASED ON THE TAXPAYER’S PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES FROM AN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISOR.

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, 2010, 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%, under present law. Deductions for capital losses are subject to limitations.

40


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.

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.

41


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.

ITEM 15.             CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, referred to herein as the “Exchange Act”) as of October 31, 2009. Based on management's evaluation in 2009, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of October 31, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures except as discussed below, were effective in that they were designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

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, 2009. 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, 2009, our internal control over financial reporting was not fully effective with respect to its procedures to effect the timely and complete close of its year-end financial statements which resulted in a series of journal entries posted to finalize the financial statements over the course of our year-end audit.

The Attestation Report dated February 17, 2010 submitted by the independent accountants cited one material weakness. The Report is set forth in “Item 17 – Financial Statements” and this is discussed below along with management’s comments on compensatory procedures that it has in plan to mitigate the risks associated with this material weakness:

Material Weakness:

In 2009, the Company identified a material weakness in certain of its procedures to affect the timely and complete close of its year-end financial statements. A series of journal entries over the course of the audit were posted to finalize the financial statements.

Management’s Response:

a)

The Company’s Audit Committee met on a regular basis during the 2009 fiscal year and met at each quarter-end for the purpose of approving the quarterly financial statements. In each case, the quarterly financial statements were reviewed in light of the Company’s current business initiatives and in accordance with required US & Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. Management acknowledges that a more rigorous assessment and process of determining and evaluating required adjustments on a quarterly basis is required, perhaps in conjunction with our external accountants, to ensure that any potential adjustments are addressed on a timely basis.

Management’s Conclusions:

a)

Management acknowledges the material weakness cited by our auditors in conducting their year-end audit work.

2008 Report:

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008, the Attestation Report submitted by the independent accountants cited three material weaknesses.

Management has addressed and remedied these material weaknesses through changes to its procedures and controls in 2009 such that these do not remain as material weaknesses as of October 31, 2009. The material weaknesses cited in the 2008 Attestation Report and the procedures which management adopted in 2009 are discussed below:

  i.

In 2008, the Company did not have a formal schedule of authority for approval of various expenditures based on the nature of the transaction. Our independent accountants suggested that we create a formal schedule of authority providing financial and non-financial limits and listing all individuals of authority to approve the transactions in contract management, travel and entertainment, purchases, payables, payments, investments, cash management and sales receipts and receivables. In 2009, we assigned individuals on our staff to address all of these issues, we made a number of changes in our authorities schedule and senior management played a more proactive role in reviewing and approving these transactions.

     
  ii.

In 2008, the second material weakness cited was that there was inadequate segregation of duties in the travel and entertainment payment cycle, in the payables, purchases and cash cycles and in the approval of related party cross- charges for common overheads. The recommendations were that there should be more effective segregation of the duties relating to the handling of cheques, posting of payments and posting of invoices. In 2009, management did develop a more formalized travel and entertainment policy and we have reallocated certain job responsibilities within the accounting and office staff so as to realize better segregation of duties, while acknowledging the limitations of our ability to effect full segregation of duties given our small staff complement.

     
  iii.

In 2008, the Company identified as a material weakness its procedures to effect the timely and complete close of its year-end financial statements prior to commencement of the year-end external audit. A series of journal entries over the course of the audit were posted to finalize the financial statements. The risk cited was that there could be reporting errors that could be undetected by management. In 2009, senior management, working with the accounting staff, conducted more extensive and in-depth reviews of our reporting package on a quarterly basis and conducted a more extensive review of our year-end internal reporting package prior to commencement of the audit. During the audit of our financial statements at October 31, 2009, this issue remained as a material weakness as described above.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other then as stated above, no other 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, 2009 that has materially affected or is reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Chartered Accountants

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Micromem Technologies Inc.

We have audited Micromem Technologies Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as at October 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. An audit of internal control over financial reporting includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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.

     

45


A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As at October 31, 2009 a material weakness was identified in certain of the Company’s procedures to affect the timely and complete close of its year-end financial statement which resulted in a series of journal entries being posted over the course of the audit to finalize the October 31, 2009 consolidated financial statements.

We considered this material weakness in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the October 31, 2009 consolidated financial statements, and our opinion regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting does not affect our opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

In our opinion, the Company did not maintain, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as at October 31, 2009 based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.

We have also audited in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) the consolidated financial statements of Micromem Technologies Inc. and issued our report dated February 17, 2010.

We do not express an opinion or any form of assurance on management’s assessment with regard to corrective measures that will be implemented to address the material weakness relating to reconciliation between Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, in the financial reporting process.

Comments by Auditors for Readers on Canada – U.S. Reporting Differences

In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when the financial statements are affected by conditions and events that cast substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, such as those described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. Our report to the shareholders dated February 17, 2010 is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not permit a reference to such events and conditions in the auditors’ report when these are adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) in the report of Independent Registered Chartered Accountants on the consolidated financial statements which references the type of opinion the auditor provided on the internal control over financial reporting. In line with this reporting standard we would report that we provided a qualified opinion on the internal controls over financial reporting. However, our report to the board of directors and shareholders dated February 17, 2010 is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not require a reference to the type of opinion provided by the auditor on the internal controls over financial reporting.

However, our report to the board of directors and shareholders dated February 17, 2010 is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not require a reference to the type of opinion provided by the auditor on the consolidated financial statements.

MICROMEM TECHNOLOGIES INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in United States dollars)
 
October 31, 2009 and 2008
 


1.

NATURE OF BUSINESS

   

Micromem Technologies Inc. (“Micromem” or the “Company”) is a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada. By Articles of Amendment dated January 14, 1999, the Company changed its name from Avanticorp International Inc. to Micromem Technologies Inc. On January 11, 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Pageant Technologies Inc. (“Pageant”), a company subsisting under the laws of Barbados. This acquisition was recorded as a reverse takeover under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”) which, except as outlined in Note 18, conforms with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

   

The Company currently operates as a developer of non-volatile magnetic memory technology and has developed magnetic sensor technology applications. The Company has not generated revenue through October 31, 2009 and is devoting substantially all of its efforts to the development of its technologies. Accordingly, for financial reporting purposes, the Company is a development stage enterprise.

   
2.

GOING CONCERN

   

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the “going concern” basis, which presumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.

   

Certain principal conditions and events are prevalent which indicate that there is doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time in future. The Company has incurred substantial recurring losses to date; it reports a working capital deficiency and a shareholders’ deficiency at October 31, 2009.

   

The Company continues to pursue its development initiatives in order to develop its technologies for commercial applications and continues to raise financing for operations as outlined in Note 11.

   

It will be necessary for the Company to raise additional funds for the continued development, testing and commercial exploitation of its technologies. To date the Company has raised financing through successive unit private placements, through the exercise of common share stock options and through the exercise of common share purchase warrants. It has also secured periodic term loans.

2.

GOING CONCERN (cont’d)

       

In the ensuing fiscal year, the Company anticipates that (i) it will realize initial revenues from commercialization efforts with current strategic development partners, (ii) it will monitor the timing of incurring additional expenses in keeping with its ongoing working capital position, and (iii) it will continue to secure financing in the same manner in which it has raised financing to date.

       

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of the assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in business. If the “going concern” assumption were not appropriate for these consolidated financial statements then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the balance sheet classifications used.

       
3.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

       

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP and are stated in United States dollars. These principles are also in conformity in all material respects with U.S. GAAP (except as disclosed in Note 18). The most significant accounting policies are as follows:

       
a.

Principles of Consolidation:

       

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries:

       
i.

Memtech International Inc., Memtech International (U.S.A.) Inc., Pageant Technologies Inc. and Pageant Technologies (U.S.A.) Inc. and Micromem Holdings (Barbados) Inc. all of which are inactive companies.

       
ii.

On November 10, 2007 the Company incorporated Micromem Applied Sensors Technology, Inc. (“MAST”) as a wholly-owned subsidiary domiciled in Delaware. MAST has the primary responsibility for the further development of the Company’s technologies in conjunction with various potential strategic development partners.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)


  iii.

On October 30, 2008, the Company incorporated 7070179 Canada Inc. as a wholly- owned subsidiary. On October 31, 2008, the Company assigned its rights, title and interests in certain patents which it previously held directly to 7070179 Canada Inc. in exchange for common shares of this subsidiary.


 

All intercompany investments, balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

     
  b.

Use of Estimates:

     
 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with Canadian GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     
 

Significant estimates made by the Company include the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, the value of the promissory note receivable, the expected life of property and equipment, the valuation of patents, the valuation of deferred development costs incurred, the valuation of accrued liabilities and the computation of fair values of stock options and warrants using the Black Scholes option-pricing model.

     
  c.

Financial Instruments – Recognition, Measurement, Disclosure and Presentation:

     
 

Section 3855 establishes standards for recognizing and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities and non-financial derivatives. All financial assets and financial liabilities, including derivatives, are initially measured in the balance sheet at fair value, except for loans and receivables, investments held-to maturity and other financial liabilities, which are measured at amortized cost. Measurement in subsequent periods depends on whether the financial instrument had been classified as held-for trading, available-for-sale, held-to- maturity, loans and receivables, or other liabilities.

     
 

Held-for-trading financial investments are measured at fair value and all gains and losses are included in net income in the period in which they arise. Available-for-sale financial instruments are measured at fair value with revaluation gains and losses included in other comprehensive income until the assets are removed from the balance sheet.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)


 

As a result of the adoption of these standards, the Company classifies cash and cash equivalents as held-for-trading. Held-for-trading financial assets are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Accounts receivable initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

     
  d.

Comprehensive Income:

     
 

Section 1530 requires the presentation of comprehensive income, which consists of net income and other comprehensive income ("OCI"). Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity from transactions and other events from non-owner sources. OCI refers to items recognized in comprehensive income but that are excluded from net income calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company does not currently have any other comprehensive income and accordingly, a statement of comprehensive income has not been presented.

     
  e.

Foreign Currency Translation:

     
 

The functional and reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar. The Company’s wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries are integrated foreign operations and, therefore, the Company uses the temporal method whereby monetary assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars at the rate of exchange in effect at the consolidated balance sheet dates and non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates. Income and expenses are translated using the three month average rate of exchange per quarter, which rate approximates the rate of exchange prevailing at the transaction dates. Gains or losses resulting from translation are included in the determination of net loss for the period.

     
  f.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

     
 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of all bank accounts and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase.

Short-term investment consists of a secured, interest-bearing promissory note with a maturity date, as of October 31, 2009, greater than three months but less than one year and is carried at fair market value (Note 7).

     
h.

Loan Impairment:

     

Impaired loans are accounted for at their face amount net of the allowance for loan impairment. When a loan is deemed to be impaired, its carrying amount is reduced to its estimated realizable amount which is measured by discounting the expected future cash flows at the effective interest rate inherent in the loans. The amount initially recognized as an impairment loan, together with any subsequent change, is charged to the allowance as an adjustment. A write-off of the loan will occur when the loan is believed to have no reasonable expectation of collectability.

     
i.

Inventory:

     

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, where cost is determined on a first in, first out basis. Net realizable value for parts and materials is replacement cost. The cost of finished goods and work in progress includes parts, materials, labour and an allocation of direct overhead expenses.

     

The Company has determined that, at October 31, 2009, the prototype units that it is developing do not constitute saleable inventory and accordingly, no inventory balances are reported.

     
j.

Long-lived Assets:

     

Long-lived assets consist of property and equipment, patents and trademarks, royalty rights and deferred development costs.

     

The Company initially records the value of the long-lived assets acquired at cost. Such assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. In such circumstances, an impairment loss is calculated as equal to the excess of the carrying value of the assets over their fair value.

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


  l.

Research and Development Costs

     
 

Research costs are expensed in the period incurred. Development costs are expensed as incurred unless they meet the criteria for deferral. During 2009 the Company determined that its continuing activities related to the development of its memory and sensor technology met the deferral criteria and, accordingly, these costs have been capitalized and are tested annually for recoverability. Development costs will be amortized on an appropriate basis at the time the Company enters commercial production.

     
 

Investment tax credits (ITCs) arising from research and development are recognized when their realization is reasonably assured. The ITCs are applied against the related costs and expenditures in the year that they are incurred.

     
  m.

Patents

     
 

Patents are recorded at cost and are amortized on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives of 10 years.

     
  n.

Unit Private Placements:

     
 

Until October 31, 2008, the Company had adopted the residual value approach in accounting for the value assigned to the common shares and the warrants which it has made available in a number of Unit private placement financings. Under this residual value approach, the Company assigned 100% of the proceeds from the Unit private placement to the common shares and a nil value to the attached warrants.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)


 

In the year ended October 31, 2009 the Company changed the estimates that it used to value the common shares and the warrants included in the Unit private placement financings which it completed in the fiscal year then ended. It assigned a value to the warrants which form part of these Unit private placements, using the relative fair value approach, calculated in accordance with the Black Scholes option pricing model.

     
  o.

Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments:

     
 

The Company applies the fair value based method of accounting for all stock-based payments to employees and non-employees and all direct awards of stocks. Accordingly, stock-based payments are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred, whichever is more reliably measurable. Stock-based compensation is charged to operations over the vesting period and the offset is credited to contributed surplus.

     
 

Consideration received upon the exercise of stock options and warrants is credited to share capital and the related contributed surplus is transferred to share capital.

     
 

The fair value of stock options and warrants is determined by the Black Scholes option- pricing model with assumptions for risk free interest rates, dividend yields, volatility factors of the expected market price of the Company’s common shares and an expected life of the option or warrant issued. The fair value of direct awards of stock is determined by the quoted market price of the Company’s stock.

     
  p.

Income Taxes:

     
 

The Company accounts for income taxes by the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, future tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using substantively enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled. To the extent that it is estimated that a future income tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is provided.

Earnings or Loss Per Share:

     

Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding during the year. Potential common shares consist of incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method.

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY

     

Goodwill and Intangible Assets:

     

Effective November 1, 2008, the Company adopted the recommendation of the CICA Handbook Section 3064 released in February 2008, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets”, in replacement of Section 3062, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and Section 3450, “Research and Development Costs”.

     

Section 3064 establishes the standards for recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing information applicable to goodwill after its initial recognition and to the intangible assets of profit-oriented enterprises. With respect to goodwill, Section 3064 contains the same requirements s former Section 3062.

     

Adoption of this standard had no significant impact on Company’s financial statements.

RECENT CANADIAN ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT YET ADOPTED

     
a.

Business Combinations:

     

In January 2009, the CICA issued Section 1582, Business Combinations, which replaces former guidance on business combinations. Section 1582 establishes principles and requirements of the acquisition method for business combinations and related disclosures. In addition, the CICA issued Sections 1601, Consolidated Financial Statements, and 1602, Non-Controlling Interests, which replaces the existing guidance. Section 1601 establishes standards for the preparation of consolidated financial statements, while section 1602 provides guidance on accounting for a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary in consolidated financial statements subsequent to business combination.

     

These standards apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2011 with earlier application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new section to determine the potential impact on its consolidated financial statements.

     
b.

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS):

     

In February 2008, the Accounting Standards Board ("AcSB") confirmed that the use of IFRS will be required in 2011 for publicly accountable enterprises in Canada. In April, 2008, the AcSB issued an IFRS Omnibus Exposure Draft proposing that publicly accountable enterprises be required to apply IFRS, in full and without modification, on January 1, 2011. The adoption date of January 1, 2011 will require the restatement, for comparative purposes, of amounts reported by the Company for its year ended October 31, 2011, and of the opening balance sheet as at November 1, 2010. The AcSB proposes that CICA Handbook Section, Accounting Changes, paragraph 1506.30, which would require an entity to disclose information relating to a new primary source of GAAP that has been issued but is not yet effective and that the entity has not applied, not be applied with respect to the IFRS Omnibus Exposure Draft. The Company is continuing to assess the financial reporting impacts of the adoption of IFRS and, at this time, the impact on future financial position and results of operations is not reasonably determinable or estimable. The Company does anticipate a significant increase in disclosure resulting from the adoption of IFRS and is continuing to assess the level of disclosure required, as well as system changes that may be necessary to gather an process the required information.

CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

     

The Company’s objective when managing capital is to maintain its ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. The Company includes equity, comprised of issued capital stock, contributed surplus and deficit, in the definition of capital. The Company’s primary objective with respect to its capital management is to ensure that it has sufficient cash resources to further develop and market its technologies and to maintain its ongoing operations. To secure the additional capital necessary to pursue these plans, the Company may attempt to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity and warrants or by securing strategic partners. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements and there has been no change with respect to the overall capital risk management strategy during the twelve months ended October 31, 2009.

A total of 100,000 of the 350,000 stock options which were issued in March 2008 at a strike price of $1.20 per share included vesting provisions on a quarterly basis commencing in March 2008. The remaining 250,000 options were fully vested as of the issue date. These stock options were issued to a then director of the Company. In 2009, that director stepped down as a director and these stock options expired unexercised in August 2009.

A total of 200,000 of these options included vesting provisions only when certain performance milestones were achieved by the Company. These milestones were not achieved as of October 31, 2009 and no vesting of these 200,000 occurred to that date. The remaining 1.2 million options included vesting provisions on a quarterly basis commencing in August 2008.

Loss per share

         

The inclusion of the Company’s stock options and share purchase warrants in the computation of diluted loss per share would have an anti-dilutive effect on loss per share and they are therefore excluded from the computation.

SHARE CAPITAL (Cont’d)

       
  (i)

These warrants were initially issued in 2004-2005 as part of Unit private placement financings which the Company completed at that time. The Company ultimately extended the expiry dates of these warrants to June 2008 and revised the strike price in each case to $0.40 per warrant. When these warrants were exercised the original charge recorded to share capital and the offset to contributed surplus reflecting these extensions and price adjustments was then reversed. These charges were calculated in accordance with the Black Scholes option pricing model.

       
  (ii)

The Company entered into a financial advisory services agreement in June 2005 and issued 800,000 common share purchase warrants as consideration. The strike price of the warrants was ultimately established as $0.40 per warrant with an expiry date of June 2008. The agreement provided for the cashless exercise of these warrants. In May 2008 these warrants were exercised. The price of the Company’s common shares upon the date of exercise was $2.09 per share and the Company issued 646,886 common shares for nil proceeds to discharge the 800,000 warrants exercised.

       
  (iii)

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Cont’d)

       
c.

Financial Risk Management

       

The Company is exposed to a variety of financial risks by virtue of its activities: market risk (including foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk) and liquidity risk. The overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on financial performance. Risk management is carried out under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Management is charged with the responsibility of establishing controls and procedures to ensure that financial risks are mitigated in accordance with the approved policies.

       

Market Risk:

       
i.

Foreign Exchange Risk:

       

The Company currently incurs expenses in Canadian dollars. The total monetary financial instruments are in net liabilities position. The management monitors the Canadian net liability position on a periodic basis throughout the course of the year and adjusts the total net monetary liability balance accordingly.

       

A 10% strengthening of the US dollars against Canadian dollars would have increased the net equity by $20,565 (2008 – $70,805) due to a reduction in the value of net liability balance. A 10% of weakening of the US dollar against Canadian dollar at October 31, 2009 would have had the equal but opposite effect.

       
ii.

Interest Rate Risk:

Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flow of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

Financial assets and financial liabilities with variable interest rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, and promissory note receivable earn interest at market rates. The Company manages its interest rate risk by maximizing the interest income earned on excess funds while maintaining the liquidity necessary to conduct operations on a day-to-day basis. Fluctuations in market rates of interest may have an impact on the Company’s results of operations.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Cont’d)

Liquidity Risk:

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as they fall due.

The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipated investing and financing activities. Senior management is actively involved in the review and approval of planned expenditures.

Credit Risk:

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, deposit and other receivables. The carrying amount of financial assets represents maximum credit exposure.

As at October 31, 2009, the Company reports a working capital deficiency of $650,044 and has certain financial commitments (Note 15), the majority of which are due within one year. It must continue to raise financing in order to meet its current obligations.

b.

Valuation of Unit private placements:

     

During the year ended October 31, 2009, the Company, for Canadian GAAP purposes, started estimating the value of common shares and the warrants included in the Unit private placement financings using relative fair value method. It assigned a value to the warrants which formed part of these Unit private placements calculated in accordance with the Black Scholes option pricing model.

     

Under U.S. GAAP, the valuation of the shares and warrants have always been determined using the relative fair value approach. The above difference has no effect on aggregate shareholders’ equity.

     
c.

Subsequent events

     

The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the end of the most recent fiscal year through February 17, 2010, the date the consolidated financial statements were issued.

A reconciliation between Canadian and U.S. GAAP in these financial statements is as follows:

Adoption of new accounting polices

     

In May 2009 the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting pronouncement establishing general standards of accounting for and disclosure of subsequent events, which are events occurring after the balance sheet date the financial statements are issued or available to be issued. In particular, the pronouncement requires entities to recognize in the financial statements the effect of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence of conditions that existed at the balance sheet date, including the estimates inherent in the financial preparations process. Entities may not recognize the impact of subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the balance sheet date but arose after that date. The pronouncement also requires entities to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. The pronouncement was effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted the provisions of the pronouncement, as required, and adoptions did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

     

In June 2009 the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement that will be the single source of authoritative non-governmental U.S. GAAP. Rules and interpretative releases of the SEC under authority on federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. This pronouncement is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 2009. All existing accounting standards are superseded as described in this pronouncement. All other accounting literature not included in this codification is non- authoritative. The adoption of this pronouncement has not had a material impact on the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

  f.

Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes

     
 

FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”). The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides accounting guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The evaluation of tax positions under FIN 48 is a two-step process, whereby (1) the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company would recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. The Company has not adopted FIN 48 for Canadian GAAP purposes. Based on the Company’s assessment, the adoption of FIN 48 would not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements for purposes of reconciling Canadian GAAP to U.S. GAAP.
