D.             Risk Factors

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

Risk Factors Related to Our Business

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

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

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

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

At October 31, 2018 we had $206,832 cash on hand. Our working capital position is ($3,823,503) at October 31, 2018. Subsequent to October 31, 2018, through to the date of the filing of this Annual Report on Form 20-F, we have raised an additional $383,600 through the issuance of convertible debentures and $71,000 through two private placements.

We currently have no operating revenue.

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

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

We continued to develop applications of our sensor technology in 2018 working with our technical advisors and our strategic development partners. We are pursuing joint development agreements with potential strategic partners with the expectation that we will jointly develop sensor applications for use by these potential strategic partners. We believe that these current initiatives will result in revenues and cash flow to the Company in the future but there can be no assurance when and if such revenues will be achieved.

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

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

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

7


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

8


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

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

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

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

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

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

We depend on key personnel.

Our senior managers and employees are Joseph Fuda, who serves as our Chief Executive Officer; and Dan Amadori, who serves as our Chief Financial Officer. We have engaged the services of several engineering/technical consulting firms to assist in converting our development efforts to commercialization. Our success depends on our ability to retain certain of our senior management and key technical personnel, our ability to attract and retain additional highly skilled personnel in the future and to maintain our working relationships with our engineering and technical consulting firms with which we subcontract our development work.

Steven Van Fleet resigned as President of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Micromem Applied Sensor Technologies, Inc. (MAST) in August 2018. Micromem has engaged other consultants since September 2018 to assist the Company after Mr. Van Fleet’s departure. There can be no assurances that such efforts will be successful.

We are currently engaged in a lawsuit with a former officer and director of the Company.

On October 7, 2018, the former President of MAST, Mr. Steven Van Fleet, filed a lawsuit against Micromem and MAST in New York State Supreme Court, Dutchess County. In the action, Mr. Van Fleet is seeking payment of $214,574 plus interest relating to alleged remuneration and expense reimbursements due to him prior to his resignation as an officer and director of Micromem and MAST on August 17, 2018. The Company answered the complaint December 7, 2018 by denying the material allegations in Mr. Van Fleet’s claims. In addition, the Company interposed 7 counterclaims against Mr. Van Fleet seeking, among other things: (i) damages of not less than $2.75 million, (ii) specific performance to compel Mr. Van Fleet to comply with his contractual obligations which were required for the period of time that he served as an officer and director through to his resignation date; (iii) repayment of certain salary and expenses paid to Mr. Van Fleet; (iv) a direction for Mr. Van Fleet to turn over all Company property in his possession or control; and (v) an accounting to determine all money and property belonging to the Company and/or MAST. On January 24, 2019, the Company amended its original answer and counterclaims to include, among other things, a demand for additional damages. On February 8, 2019 Mr. Van Fleet, through his counsel, replied to and denied the material allegations in Micromem’s counterclaims. The Company reports an accrual of $205,788 at October 31, 2018 with respect to alleged remuneration and expense reimbursements claimed by Mr. Van Fleet but, nonetheless, has denied the allegations in Mr. Van Fleet’s claims . This matter remains as a contingency at February 28, 2019. See Note 19 to our Financial Statements in Item 18 of this Annual Report.

A depressed oil and gas sector could place our development projects at risk.

Certain of our development partners are engaged primarily in the oil and gas sector. If market conditions are depressed for this sector, there is a risk that such companies could defer or cancel previously established capital expenditure programs or product development initiatives. If these situations arose with our development partners in this sector, our related development projects could be at risk of delays or cancellation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

10


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

There are foreign exchange risks associated with our Company.

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

Risk Factors Related to Our Common Shares

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

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

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

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

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

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

11


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 $344 million in assets, except for certain economic sectors with respect to which the lower threshold would apply. A non-Canadian, whether a national of a WTO member or otherwise, would acquire control of Micromem for purposes of the Investment Act if he or she acquired a majority of our common shares. The acquisition of less than a majority, but at least one-third of our common shares, would also be presumed to be an acquisition of control of Micromem, unless it could be established that Micromem was not controlled in fact by the acquirer through the ownership of voting shares. The United States is a WTO Member for purposes of the Investment Act. Certain transactions involving our common shares would be exempt from the Investment Act, including:

12


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

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

We do not anticipate paying dividends.

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

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

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

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 OTCQB 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.

The Evolution of Micromem from Memory to Sensor Based Client Solutions

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

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

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

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

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

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

Until 2014, Micromem funded virtually all of its research and development initiatives. Our main priority was to provide customers with sensor based platform solutions that address their difficult business problems. Our sensor platform solutions address three primary areas of creating value for our clients:

14


By 2015 we had advanced a number of our product development initiatives under joint product development agreements with our clients Chevron, Castrol, Flextronics and Eversource Energy. Our pipeline of development projects expanded. In 2016 and 2017, we attempted to advance our projects towards field trials. The Flextronics and Eversource projects were ultimately discontinued. We continued with the Chevron and Castrol development projects and began discussions with Repsol SA.

B.             Business Overview

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

Update of Product Development Activity at October 31, 2018

In August 2018, Mr. Steven Van Fleet resigned as President of MAST. The technical engineering and design work that has been completed to date has been undertaken by outside firms who continue to work with Micromem on its development projects. The Company has also engaged additional technical, marketing and financial assistance since the departure of Mr. Van Fleet. We have been able, on this basis, to continue our work with our development partners subsequent to Mr. Van Fleet’s departure.

The current status of our development projects is as reported below:

Chevron: In 2018 we continued to engage with Chevron personnel and with our engineering subcontractor, Entanglement Technologies (“Entanglement”).

Chevron has provided $713,983 of funding towards our joint product development agreement in 2018. The project which relates to the use of alcohol based tracers to measure various characteristics and attributes of operating oil wells, is now scheduled to proceed. The results of our bench/laboratory testing of this technology previously completed have been successful against predetermined performance standards required. We believe that these results will be replicated in the pilot project. We anticipate that we will then move forward with commercialization of the technology although there can be no assurances that such efforts will be successful.

Since September 2018 we have completed the following project related tasks and milestones:

15


In 2015, we initiated a development protocol with Chevron with respect to a second development project – the proposed development, over a period of 2 years, of a sensor platform to be used for testing of cement integrity in offshore oil wells. That project did not move forward at that time.

In November 2018 we reengaged with the Chevron team who have responsibilities for this development initiative within Chevron. There remains significant joint interest in the project and we anticipate follow up on this potential project opportunity in 2019.

Castrol: We have previously reported on our interactions and our Joint Product Development Agreement with Castrol, which began in 2014.

Through Q1 2018 we were engaged in discussion with the Castrol representatives, with whom we had been dealing to that point in time, with respect to the ongoing funding requirements to complete the development project. These discussions were not, ultimately, successful and the project was suspended. We have had only limited interaction with Castrol since mid 2018.

The related work over the course of this project between 2014-2018 was completed in large part by our engineering subcontractor, SBMicrosystems (“SBM”) located in Burnie Maryland. In total, approximately $3.5 million of funding was committed to this project up to the point that the project was suspended; this included approximately $1 million of financing provided by Castrol.

The Company retains a substantial file of proprietary technical information, drawings and design work related to this development effort.

RT Lube Analyzer: In 2017-2018 the Company developed the prototype unit of this technology based on the development work completed by SBM. It began to assess potential market opportunities to commercialize this technology in a number of market verticals, in particular – shipping, large industrial applications and wind energy. We continue to pursue this opportunity and we believe that there is significant market potential in this technology.

Repsol S.A.: We have previously reported on our initial activity with this Spanish energy conglomerate.

During the 2017 fiscal year we executed a preliminary development contract with Repsol for the utilization of the RT Lube technology to be customized to their specific requirements. Repsol provided $75,000 of initial funding on a purchase order of $150,000.

SBM was commissioned to complete this initial work and a prototype unit was delivered to Repsol for initial testing.

The initial project with Repsol contemplated 2 phases of activity:

  a)

Initially, a larger unit that would be used for several potential market applications (“Field Unit”) which was intended for final delivery in calendar year 2018; and,

     
  b)

A miniaturized version of the technology to be used in automotive and transportation vehicles; this version to incorporate greater functionality and additional performance features (“Final Unit”). The original delivery date for the prototype of this Final Unit was anticipated in Q1 2019.

16


After the departure of Mr. Van Fleet in August 2018 we, along with SBM, engaged in direct dialogue with the Repsol team members involved in this development project. Certain of the technical requirements to complete this work remain to be resolved. The costs associated with the completion of this project exceed the original amounts contemplated.

Since September 2018 we have worked directly with the Repsol team. Our CEO, Joseph Fuda, met with the Repsol development and commercialization teams in their Madrid offices in late September.

We have continued our discussions with Repsol since then and have recast the development project and timetables for completion. We have also added additional technical and manufacturing expertise through outside consultants to help facilitate the go forward activity with the intention of continuing the role of SBM.

At this point, we are attempting to finalize a new letter of intent with Repsol to continue this project in 2019.

Dubai Conference: In March 2018 Steven Van Fleet attended a conference in Dubai at the suggestion of Chevron; he was accompanied by Entanglement personnel engaged in the Chevron development project.

The “ATRA 171” technology that is under development at Entanglement for Chevron was showcased at the conference and received significant preliminary interest. After the conference through June 2018, Mr. Van Fleet responded to these expressions of interest and produced a significant number of proposals which he delivered to various companies in North America and abroad.

Since the departure of Mr. Van Fleet in August 2018, we have been pursing certain of these proposals that were submitted by Mr. Van Fleet. In this process we have had mixed responses; nonetheless we believe that as this technology is finalized through our ongoing work with Chevron, there will be other commercial opportunities that we may realize.

Other Opportunities: Since September 2018 we have engaged in dialogue with a private company that has been in operation for several decades. This company has a team with engineering and manufacturing capabilities and an established presence and revenue base in North America. One of the business lines that this company has developed is a sensor based system that detects gas leakage in industrial plants. We continue to negotiate a potential business arrangement with this entity with the expectation of developing a more formal working relationship during 2019.

In our 2015 Annual Report we reported that we were working with Northeast Utilities (or Eversource) for the development of a sensor platform design to detect partial discharges inside a transformer. Additionally, we reported that we had begun development work with Northeast Utilities on a low-cost power line conditioning monitoring device designed for transmission power lines. Given the timing to market these opportunities, we reflected a write-down of our investment of $2.27 million against these projects in the fiscal year ending October 31, 2015.

On July 31, 2016, we wrote down the remaining value of the deferred development costs to nil while we continue to pursue the continued development and ultimate commercialization of these projects.

In 2017 the Company incurred $519,008 of development costs on its ongoing projects. It recovered $371,000 from its development partners. The Company reported net development cost of $147,008 in 2017.

18


In 2018 the Company incurred $604,918 of development costs on its ongoing projects. It recovered $738,983 from its development partners; recovery of $130,069 in the year ended October 31, 2018.

Intellectual Property

In June 2016, we settled the litigation with Dreifus Associates Limited (“DAL”) which had been pending since late 2014. As part of the settlement, the Company received the full assignment of DAL’s alleged interests in our Multimodal condition sensor platform and system thereof.

We incurred $121,603 of patent related costs in 2018 (2017: $161,647; 2016: $192,873). We have a portfolio of patents in the United States and provisional patents filed in a number of international jurisdictions as previously reported.

In 2018, a number of our provisional filings were abandoned as a cost control measure and based on an assessment of the utility in maintaining these applications in different countries.

We believe that our core technology applications as embodied in our go forward suite of intellectual property represents a valuable asset to be exploited in future.

In 2019 we anticipate working with our current patent attorneys to further evaluate our patent portfolio and to determine our go forward strategies relating to our existing portfolio and with respect to potential additional filings.

Our management will determine from time to time the jurisdictions where protection is appropriate. This determination will be based on a number of factors including the state of development of our technology, the importance of a particular market for our technology, the costs of pursuing patent protection in a jurisdiction and our financial position at the time.

Share Capital

At October 31, 2018 the Company had 259,602,699 common shares outstanding (2017: 228,562,711). Additionally, the Company has 6,250,000 stock options outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $0.29 per share (2017: 6,595,000 options outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $0.37 per share).

Changes to Our Board of Directors and Management:

Our 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders was held on July 21, 2017. Joseph Fuda, David Sharpless, Steven Van Fleet, Oliver Nepomuceno, Larry Blue, Alex Dey, and Brian Von Herzen were reelected to serve on our Board of Directors. Messrs Joseph Fuda, Dan Amadori and Steven Van Fleet continued to serve as Officers of the Company.

Larry Blue resigned as a director on September 30, 2017 after 12 years of service to the Company. He resigned given other substantial business commitments with which he is engaged.

David Sharpless resigned as a director on March 30, 2018 after 18 years of service to the Company. He resigned given other substantial business commitments with which he is engaged. Mr. Sharpless served as Chair of the Audit Committee for 12 years before his resignation. Alex Dey assumed the role of the Chair of the Audi Committee upon the resignation of Mr. Sharpless.

Steven Van Fleet resigned as a director and officer on August 17, 2018. In October 2018 Mr. Van Fleet initiated a claim against the Company for alleged fees owing to him for services rendered up to the date of his resignation. The Company has responded to Mr. Van Fleet’s claim and has counterclaimed for damages and specific performance. This matter is further discussed in Item 5G – Contingencies - in this Form 20-F.

The Company is planning to schedule its Annual General Meeting of shareholders shortly, at which it will present a current slate of directors for shareholder approval. We are currently evaluating several potential new board candidates and are working with our currently active board members on this process.

Fiscal 2018 Compared to Fiscal 2017

  a.

Administration costs were $305,338 in 2018 versus $305,421 in 2017. These expenses principally relate to rent, insurance, communications, telephone, investor relations and filing fees. In total there were no significant changes in the year over year costs. Our insurance costs increased to $117,615 in 2018 versus $54,023 in 2017, the result of additional coverage secured in 2018. We reduced general administration costs to $63,936 in 2018 versus $98,187 in 2017, through cost reduction efforts and with the departure of Steven Van Fleet in August 2018. We reduced our investor relations and filing fees costs to $53,113 in 2018 from $80,486 in 2017 through cost reduction efforts.

     
  b.

Professional fees which include legal and audit related expenses were $165,685 in 2018 versus $224,139 in 2017; we utilized less professional services in 2018 and reduced the cost of our external audit by engaging additional consulting services to assist us in the year end audit process.

     
 

Consulting fees were $316,815 in 2018 versus $813,735 in 2017.

     
 

In 2018 the CEO received no compensation versus $319,429 in 2017; the CFO received $49,238 as compensation versus $114,601 in 2017; the fees reported in 2018 for Mr. Van Fleet total $186,059 (the Company is disputing these fees currently – see Item 5G – Contingencies) versus $231,694 in 2017.

     
 

Salaries expense was $265,134 in 2018 versus $395,239 in 2017, reflecting cost reduction implemented in 2018.

     
  c.

Travel and entertainment costs were $101,496 in 2018 versus $118,261 in 2017. In 2018, we incurred travel expenses with respect to the Dubai trade show which we attended, costs associated with travel to the Repsol offices in Madrid in September and costs associated with the in person meetings with Chevron in Houston; otherwise travel related expenses were significantly curtailed in 2018.

     
  d.

Stock compensation expense relates to the issuance of stock options. In 2018 we issued 2.2 million options; the related costs using the Black Scholes pricing model was $140,612. In 2017 we issued 2.89 million options; the related costs using the Black Scholes pricing model was $442,206.

     
  e.

Interest expense in 2018 was $504,778 versus $666,245 in 2017. This represents the actual interest expense obligations incurred by the Company based on the stated interest rates on the convertible debenture notes. We redeemed or converted a number of bridge loans in 2018.

     
  f.

The other expenses reported with respect to the bridge loans, which are all non cash expenses compare as follows:


  2018 2017 Change
Accretion Expense 2,036,344 1,358,101 678,243
Loss on conversion of bridge loans 63,852 1,009,680 (945,828)
Gain on extinguishment of debt (399,191) - (399,191)
Gain on revaluation of derivatives (1,094,718) (1,614,822) 520,104
  606,287 752,959 (146,672)

The bridge loan transactions give rise to accounting measurements under IFRS which track the loan components at the inception of the loan, during the term to maturity date, remeasurements as required for changes in terms upon renewal of maturity or upon conversion/repayment at maturity. As these variables change by loan and on a year by year basis, the expenses, gains and losses will change in accordance with these prescribed IFRS requirements. The net result of these measurements illustrates a comparable net non cash expense between 2018 and 2017.

23


Fiscal 2017 Compared to Fiscal 2016

  (a)

Administration costs were $305,421 in 2017 versus $395,340 in 2016. These expenses principally include rent, insurance, communications, investor relations and filing fees. The decrease in administration costs reported in 2017 is primarily attributable to: (i) in 2016 we incurred approximately $130,000 (2017: Nil) of costs associated with the DAL legal settlement referenced above in the Intellectual Property section; (ii) insurance expense increased by approximately $21,000 in 2017 versus 2016, and (iii) interest and penalties costs increased by approximately $12,000 in 2017 versus 2016.

     
  (b)

Professional fees including audit and legal expenses were $224,139 in 2017 versus $328,851 in 2016. In 2016 we incurred the costs associated with the attestation report on our internal controls over financial reporting which was not required in 2017. Consulting fees were $813,735 in 2017 versus $1,028,600 in 2016 reflecting less use of outside consultants in 2017.

     
  (c)

Salaries and benefits were $395,239 in 2017 versus $381,950 in 2016. There were no significant changes in staff salaries and benefits on a year over year basis.

     
  (d)

Travel and entertainment expenses were $118,261 in 2017 versus $180,767 in 2016. The Company curtailed travel related costs in 2017 given the Company’s working capital constraints.

     
  (e)

Interest expense was $666,245 in 2017 versus $561,608 in 2016. The Company had more bridge loans outstanding in 2017.

     
  (f)

Accretion expense was $1,358,101 in 2017 versus $514,560 in 2016. This is a non cash expense which relates to the amortization of the derivative liability amount which is determined at the inception of the loan and charged to the face value of the debt amount recorded at inception over the term of the loan. The amount increased significantly in 2017 with the larger number of loans in place and the frequent changes in the terms of loan at renewal dates, causing the additional non cash expense.

     
  (g)

The gain on the revaluation of the derivative liabilities was $1,614,822 in 2017 versus $295,616 in 2016. The derivative liability is revalued at each quarter end and is reset if the terms of the loan are changed at renewal dates. This is a non cash item; the increase in 2017 was the result of the larger number of loans in place in 2017 and the frequent changes in the terms of the loans at renewal dates.

     
  (h)

The loss on conversion of bridge loans to common shares was $1,009,680 in 2017 versus nil in 2016. A total of eight bridge loans were converted to common shares in 2017. In seven of these conversions the Company provided an inducement to the lender to convert by reducing the originally negotiated conversion price to the lower market price on the day of conversion.

     
  (i)

Other expenses were $480,987 in 2017 versus $73,892 in 2016. In 2017 the Company reported a foreign exchange loss of approximately $343,000 (2016: gain of $1,000); arising principally from the translation of multiple Canadian denominated bridge loans. Patent amortization expense was $133,785 in 2017 versus $98,515 in 2016.

     
  (j)

Stock compensation expense was $442,206 in 2017 versus $Nil in 2016. The Company issued 2,890,000 stock options to officers, directors and employees in 2017 and the cost was calculated using the Black Scholes option pricing model.

     
  (k)

Net development costs in 2017 were $147,008 versus $3,635,613 in 2016. In 2016, the Company recorded an impairment reserve on deferred development costs of $3,638,118.

B.             Liquidity and Capital Resources:

Liquidity

We have not yet realized commercial revenues from the exploitation of our technology platforms. We currently do not have positive cash flow from operations and will not realize positive cash flow until we license or directly produce and sell products utilizing our technology platforms.

We currently have no lines of credit available. We have, to date, relied on obtaining equity financing from investors through private placements, through the exercise by shareholders of common share purchase warrants, through the exercise of common stock options by officers and directors, and through bridge loans that the Company has secured in order to meet our cash flow needs until we can generate sustainable revenues. At October 31, 2018 we had a working capital deficiency of $3,828,503 (2017: $3,862,390) including cash on hand of $206,832 (2017: $9,189). Since October 31, 2018 we have raised an additional $383,600 of bridge loan financing and $71,000 of financing from 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 incurred $3,548 capital expenditures in 2018, $3,809 of expenditures in 2017 and, $1,274 of expenditures in 2016.

C.             Research and Development:

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

25


D.             Trend Information:

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

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

E.             Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements:

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

F.             Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations:

A summary of our financial commitments as of October 31, 2018 is as below:

  Payments due by period ($CDN)
Total  Less than 1 1-3 years 3-5 years More than 5
    year     years
Operating lease obligations   63,918 87,958 87,958 -
 

Payments due by period ($CDN)

Total  Less than 1 1-3 years 3-5 years More than 5
    year     years
Operating lease obligations   48,060 66,082 66,083 -
Purchase obligations         -
Total:   48,060 66,082 66,083 -

In addition to these financial commitments, the Company previously had management agreements with its senior executives on a month to month basis. At October 31, 2018 these agreements are no longer in force.

Critical Accounting Policies:

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

Our consolidated financial statements for the period have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.

We have not yet realized commercial revenues from the exploitation of our technology. Under IFRS, research costs are expensed in the period incurred. Development expenses are expensed as incurred unless they meet the criteria for deferral and amortization under IFRS which is the translation of research findings or other knowledge into a plan for the technology prior to commercial production or use. As at October 31, 2018 and the Company capitalized nil of development costs and capitalized nil as intangible assets under IFRS.

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.

26


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

G.             Contingencies:

A.

We have agreed to indemnify our directors and officers and certain of our employees in accordance with our By-laws. We maintain insurance policies that may provide coverage against certain claims.

   
B.

The Company may be subject to litigation, claims and governmental and regulatory proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In such cases, the Company would accrue a loss contingency for these matters when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

   
C.

On October 7, 2018, the former President of MAST, Mr. Steven Van Fleet, filed a lawsuit against Micromem and MAST in New York State Supreme Court, Dutchess County. In the action, Mr. Van Fleet is seeking payment of $214,574 plus interest relating to alleged remuneration and expense reimbursements due to him prior to his resignation as an officer and director of Micromem and MAST on August 17, 2018. The Company answered the complaint December 7, 2018 by denying the material allegations in Mr. Van Fleet’s claims. In addition, the Company interposed 7 counterclaims against Mr. Van Fleet seeking, among other things: (i) damages of not less than $2.75 million, (ii) specific performance to compel Mr. Van Fleet to comply with his contractual obligations which were required for the period of time that he served as an officer and director through to his resignation date; (iii) repayment of certain salary and expenses paid to Mr. Van Fleet; (iv) a direction for Mr. Van Fleet to turn over all Company property in his possession or control; and (v) an accounting to determine all money and property belonging to the Company and/or MAST. On January 24, 2019, the Company amended its original answer and counterclaims to include, among other things, a demand for additional damages. On February 8, 2019 Mr. Van Fleet, through his counsel, replied to and denied the material allegations in Micromem’s counterclaims. The Company reports an accrual of $205,788 at October 31, 2018 with respect to alleged remuneration and expense reimbursements claimed by Mr. Van Fleet but, nonetheless, has denied the allegations in Mr. Van Fleet’s claims. This matter remains as a contingency at February 28, 2019. See Note 19 to the Financial Statements in Item 18 of this Annual Report.

H.             Translation of Foreign Currencies:

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

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

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

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

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.

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".

E.             Taxation

Certain Canadian Income Tax Consequences

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

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

Dividends on common shares and Other Income

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

36


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, and at any time during the 10 years immediately preceding, the disposition and the shares were owned by them when they ceased to be resident in Canada, or the shares formed part of the business property of a "permanent establishment" that the holder has or had in Canada within the 12 months preceding the disposition.

Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences

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

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

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

37


On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, effective for 2018. The following summary does not discuss the impact of the new law to U.S. investors with respect to their ownership of our shares. Each U.S. Investor should consult its own tax advisor about the consequences of this new legislation with respect to the purchase, ownership and disposition of our shares.

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, 2013, if certain conditions are met. These conditions include neither the Company nor a Related Entity being classified as a PFIC (discussed below), the Company being a “qualified foreign corporation”, the US Holder's satisfaction of a holding period requirement, and the US Holder not treating the distribution as “investment income” for purposes of the investment interest deduction rules.

38


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 20%. Deductions for capital losses are subject to limitations.

US Anti-Deferral Regimes

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

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.

39


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

Currency Fluctuations

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

Withholding

A U.S. Holder may be subject to backup withholding (at a rate of 28% for 2017, 24% for 2018) with respect to cash dividends and proceed from a disposition of shares. In general, back-up withholding will apply only if a U.S. Holder fails to comply with specified identification procedures. Backup withholding will not apply with respect to payments made to designated exempt recipients, such as corporations and tax-exempt organizations. Backup withholding is not an additional tax and may be claimed as a credit against the U.S. federal income tax liability of a U.S. Holder, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

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, 2018. Based on management's evaluation in 2018, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of October 31, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures 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. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms. Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) also states that disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or person performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

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.

41


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, 2018. 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, 2018 our internal control over financial reporting were effective.

There was no requirement for an Attestation Report on internal controls over financial reporting for the fiscal years ending October 31, 2018 or 2017. Our certifying accountants identified one significant deficiency in our internal controls for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2018. Our accountants noted that the Company did not affect a timely and complete close of its year-end financial statements prior to the commencement of the year end audit conducted by our external auditors. The related risk was that there could be reporting errors that could go undetected by management.

Management’s response:

We acknowledge the matter raised by our external auditors. We note the following in this context:

a)

We have limited staff resources and the time and effort required to address the complex reporting issues in our financial statements – including the measurement of multiple bridge loans and related derivative liabilities share capital, consolidation and income taxes in accordance with IFRS reporting standards – was considerable during the year-end audit process.

   
b)

Our existing internal procedures and reporting practices result in the production of very detailed (in some cases, line by line) account analyses and reconciliations. Additionally, we engaged an independent consulting firm to assist us in the completion of our year end audit.

   
c)

Ultimately, when we completed all of our analysis for submission to our external auditors, we noted that there were only immaterial differences identified by our external auditors. The procedures which we completed were satisfactory and there were no material reporting errors that were detected in the audit work completed by our external auditors.

In 2019, the Company will continue with its existing procedures and will look to augment its in-house resources to ensure timely and complete close of its quarterly and annual reporting requirements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Shareholders of Micromem Technologies Inc.:

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Micromem Technologies Inc., which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at October 31, 2018 and 2017, and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the two years then ended, including the related notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Micromem Technologies Inc. as at October 31, 2018 and 2017, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the two years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Those standards also require that we comply with ethical requirements, including independence. We are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB.

An audit includes performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatements of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures to respond to those risks. Such procedures include obtaining and examining, on a test basis, audit evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies and principles used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a reasonable basis for our audit opinion.


Other Matter
The consolidated financial statements as at October 31, 2016 and for the year then ended were audited by Collins Barrow Toronto of Toronto, Canada. Collins Barrow Toronto expressed an unmodified opinion on those consolidated financial statements on March 2, 2017.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders of Micromem Technologies Inc.:

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Micromem Technologies Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of October 31, 2016, based on criteria established in the Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) 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 under the heading “Disclosure Controls/Internal Controls” under the title “Compliance Related Reporting Matters” in the accompanying Management’s Discussion and Analysis. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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. Our audit included 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. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered 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 International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) 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 the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2016, based on criteria established in the Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (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 statements of financial position of the Company as at October 31, 2016 and 2015 and the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended October 31, 2016, October 31, 2015 and October 31, 2014, and notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and our report dated March 2, 2017 expressed an unqualified audit opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Micromem Technologies Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended October 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016
(Expressed in United States dollars)
 

1.        Reporting entity and nature of business

Micromem Technologies Inc. (“Micromem” or the “Company”) is incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada. Micromem is a publicly traded company with its head office located at 121 Richmond Street West, Suite 304, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The Company’s common shares are currently listed on the Canadia Securities Exchange under the trading symbol “MRM” and on the Over the Counter Venture Market under the trading symbol “MMTIF”.

The Company develops, based upon proprietary technology, customized sensor applications for companies (referred to as “development partners”) operating internationally in various industry segments. The Company has not generated commercial revenues through October 31, 2018 and is devoting substantially all its efforts to securing commercial revenue opportunities.

2.        Going concern

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared with the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.

There are material uncertainties related to conditions and events that cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and ultimately on the appropriateness of the use of the accounting principles applicable to a going concern. During the year ended October 31, 2018, the Company reported a net loss and comprehensive loss of $2,362,239 (2017 - $4,346,200; 2016 -$6,805,535) and negative cash flow from operations of $1,464,637(2017 -$2,721,487; 2016- $2,889,025). The Company’s working capital deficiency as at  October 31, 2018 is $3,828,503 (2017 – $3,865,390).

The Company’s success depends on the profitable commercialization of its proprietary sensor technology. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in the profitable commercialization of its technology. Based upon its current operating and financial plans, management of the Company believes that it will have sufficient access to financial resources to fund the Company’s planned operations through fiscal 2019; however, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to secure additional financing and/or profitably commercialize its technology. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these consolidated financial statements then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the statement of financial position classifications used; in such cases, these adjustments would be material.

3.        Basis of presentation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC"). The Company has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance and release by the Company’s Board of Directors on February 27, 2019.

(a)

Basis of consolidation

     

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Micromem Technologies Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. The Company applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. The wholly-owned subsidiaries include:

     
(i)

Micromem Applied Sensors Technology, Inc. (“MAST”) was incorporated in November 2007 and is domiciled in Delaware, United States. MAST has the primary responsibility for the exploitation of the Company’s technologies in conjunction with various strategic partners and customers.

     
(ii)

7070179 Canada Inc., incorporated in October 2008 under the Canada Business Corporations Act in Ontario, Canada. The Company has assigned to this entity its rights, title and interests in certain patents, which it previously held, directly, in exchange for common shares of this entity.

(b)

Basis of measurement

   

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

   
(c)

Functional and presentation currency

   

These consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“USD”), which is the functional currency of the Company and all of its subsidiaries.

   
(d)

Use of estimates and judgments

   

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRSs 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are reviewed periodically and adjustments are made as appropriate in the year they become known. Items for which actual results may differ materially from these estimates are described in the following section.


  (i)

Fair value of conversion features

     
 

The Company makes estimates and utilizes assumptions in determining the fair value for stock options and derivative liabilities based on the application of the Black-Scholes option pricing model or the binomial option pricing model, depending on the circumstances. These pricing models require management to make various assumptions and estimates that are susceptible to uncertainty, including the volatility of the share price, expected dividend yield, expected term, expected risk-free interest rate, and exercise price in the binomial option pricing model.

     
  (ii)

Useful lives and recoverability of long-lived assets

     
 

Long-lived assets consist of property and equipment and patents. Amortization is dependent upon estimates of useful lives and impairment is dependent upon estimates of recoverable amounts. These are determined through the exercise of judgment and are dependent upon estimates that take into account factors such as economic and market conditions, frequency of use, anticipated changes in laws, and technological improvements.

     
  (iii)

Income taxes

     
 

Income taxes and tax exposures recognized in the consolidated financial statements reflect management's best estimate of the outcome based on facts known at the reporting date. When the Company anticipates a future income tax payment based on its estimates, it recognizes a liability. The difference between the expected amount and the final tax outcome has an impact on current and deferred taxes when the Company becomes aware of this difference.

     
 

In addition, when the Company incurs losses for income tax purposes, it assesses the probability of taxable income being available in the future based on its budgeted forecasts. These forecasts are adjusted to take into account certain non-taxable income and expenses and specific rules on the use of unused credits and tax losses. When the forecasts indicate that sufficient future taxable income will be available to deduct the temporary differences, a deferred tax asset is recognized for all deductible temporary differences.

     
  (iv)

Going concern assumption

     
 

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

4.        Summary of significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies applied to the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below:

(a)

Foreign currency translation

   

These consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. At each reporting date, foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Income and expenses, and cash flows of foreign operations, are translated into United States dollars using annual average exchange rates. Exchange differences arising from operating transactions are recorded in operating profit or loss for the period; exchange differences related to financing transactions are recognized in finance income or directly in equity.

   
(b)

Financial instruments

   

The Company aggregates similar financial instruments into classes based on their nature and characteristics. All financial assets except those classified as fair value through profit or loss are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition.

   

The Company's accounting policy for each class of financial instruments is as follows:

(i)     Fair value through profit or loss

Financial instruments classified as fair valuethrough profit or loss arereported at fair valueat eachreportingdate,and anychangeinfair value is recognized in net income in the period during which the change occurs. In these consolidated financial statements, cash and derivative liabilities have been classified as fair value through profit or loss.

(ii)    Loans and receivables and other financial liabilities

Financial instruments classified as loans and receivables and other financial liabilities are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Transaction costs are included in the amount initially recognized .In these consolidated financial statements, development costs receivable have been classified as loans and receivables. Trade payables and other liabilities and convertible debentures have been classified as other financial liabilities.

(iii)  Fair value hierarchy

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the consolidated statements of financial position are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

Level 1 - valuation based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. In these consolidated financial statements, cash is included in this category.

Level 2 - valuation techniques based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. In these consolidated financial statements, derivative liabilities are included in this category.

Level 3 - valuation techniques using the inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data. There are no assets or liabilities in this category in these consolidated financial statements.

(c)

Convertible debentures and derivative liabilities

   

The Company issues convertible debentures used as bridge loans, which can be converted into common shares at the option of the holder, into a fixed number of shares for a fixed amount of consideration, or into a fixed number of shares for a variable amount of consideration, or into a variable number of shares.

4.        Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(c)

Convertible debentures and derivative liabilities (continued)

(i)    Initial recognition

Upon initial recognition, the Company determines whether the convertible debenturec onsist of  liability and equity components, or if both components represent  liabilities.

For convertible debentures which provide conversion into a fixed number of shares, the liability component is recognized initially at the fair value of a similar, non-convertible liability. The equity component is recognized as the difference between the fair value of the instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.

For convertible debentures which provide conversion into a variable number of shares or into afixed number shares for a variable amount of consideration, the conversion option is accounted for as an embedded derivative, which is separated from the host contract. Upon initial recognition, the derivative liabilityis valued at fair value using a Black Scholes or a binomial pricing model. The carrying amount of the convertible debenture is recognized as the difference between the fair value of the instrument as a whole and the fair value of the derivative liability. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the debenture and derivative liability components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.

(ii)   Modifications and extinguishments

To the extent there are changes to the terms of outstanding convertible debentures, these changes may be recorded as amodification or an extinguishment. A substantial change in the terms of an existing financial liability is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. The terms are substantially different if the discounted present value of the cash flows under the new terms is at least 10% different from the discounted present value of the remaining cash flows of the original financial liability. A modification of the original financial liability is accounted for as an adjustment to the effective interest rate.

(d)

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:


  Method   Rate
Computers Declining balance   30%
Furniture and equipment Declining balance   30%

(e)

Impairment of long-lived assets

   

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

   

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

4.        Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(f)

Development costs

   

Research costs are expensed in the period incurred. Development costs are expensed as incurred unless they meet the criteria for capitalization. Expenditures during the development phase are capitalized if the Company can demonstrate each of the following criteria: (i) the technical feasibility of completing the asset so that it will be available for use or sale, (ii) its intention to complete the asset and use or sell it, (iii) its ability to use or sell the asset, (iv) how the asset will generate probable future economic benefits, (v) the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the asset, and (vi) its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the asset during its development; otherwise, these costs are expensed as incurred. Payments received from development partners on projects are recorded to deferred development costs as a recovery of costs incurred.

   
(g)

Patents

   

Patents are recorded at cost and are amortized on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives of 5 years.

   
(h)

Stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments

   

Where equity instruments are granted to employees, they are recorded at the fair value of the equity instrument granted at the grant date. The grant date fair value is recognized in net income over the vesting period. Where equity instruments are granted to non-employees, they are recorded at the fair value of the goods or services received in the statement of operations. When the value of goods or services received in exchange for the stock-based payment cannot be reliably estimated, the fair value is measured by use of a valuation model. The cost recognized for all equity-settled stock-based payments are reflected in contributed surplus, until the instruments are exercised. Upon exercise, shares are issued from treasury and the amount previously reflected in contributed surplus along with any proceeds paid upon exercise, credited to share capital.

   
(i)

Income taxes

   

The Company accounts for its income taxes using the deferred tax assets and liabilities method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the carrying amount and the tax basis of the assets and liabilities. Any change in the net amount of deferred income tax assets and liabilities is included in profit or loss or equity. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on enacted or substantively enacted tax rates and laws which are expected to apply to taxable profit for the years in which the assets and liabilities will be recovered or settled. Deferred income tax assets are recognized when it is probable they will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.

   
(j)

Provisions

   

Provision for risks and expenses are recognized for probable outflows of resources that can be estimated and that result from present obligations resulting from past events. In the case where a potential obligation resulting from past events exists, but where occurrence of the outflow of resources is not probable or the estimate is not reliable, these contingencies are disclosed. Provisions, if any, are measured based on management's best estimates of outcomes on the basis of facts known at the reporting date.

   
(k)

Share capital

   

Share capital is presented at the fair value of the shares issued. Costs related to the issuance of shares are reported in equity, net of tax, as a deduction from the issuance proceeds.

   
(l)

Earnings or loss per share

   

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share data for its common shares. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, for the effects of all potentially dilutive common shares, which comprise stock options and convertible debentures.

5.        Adoption of new accounting pronouncements

(a)

Amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows

   

International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 7 amendments include additional disclosures to enable users of the consolidated financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes. These amendments became effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017. The Company has adopted these amendments as of the effective date and has included the required disclosures in note 16 for the year ended October 31, 2018.

   
(b)

Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes

   

IAS 12 amendments include: (a) unrealized losses on debt instruments measured at fair value and measured at cost for tax purposes give rise to a deductible temporary difference regardless of whether the debt instrument's holder expects to recover the carrying amount of the debt instrument by sale or by use; (b) the carrying amount of an asset does not limit the estimation of probable future taxable profits; (c) estimates for future taxable profits exclude tax deductions resulting from the reversal of deductible temporary differences; and (d) an entity assesses a deferred tax asset for recoverability in combination with other deferred tax assets. Where tax law restricts the utilization of tax losses, an entity would assess a deferred tax asset for recoverability in combination with other deferred tax assets of the same type. These amendments became effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017. The Company has adopted these amendments as of the effective date and has assessed no significant changes as a result of the adoption of these amendments on the current period.

6.        New and revised standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective

(a)

Amendments to IFRS 2 Share-Based Payments

   

IFRS 2 clarifies how to account for certain types of share-based payment transactions. The amendments provide requirements on the accounting for the effects of vesting and non-vesting conditions on the measurement of cash-settled share-based payments, share-based payment transactions with a net settlement feature for withholding tax obligations, and a modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment that changes the classification of the transaction from cash-settled to equity-settled. The effective date of these amendments is for annual periods beginning January 1, 2018. The Company will adopt the amendments as of its effective date. The Company has performed a preliminary assessment and does not expect there to be any significant impacts on the consolidated financial statements as a result of the adoption of these amendments.

   
(b)

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

   

IFRS 9 addresses classification and measurement of financial assets and replaces the multiple category and measurement models in IAS 39 for debt instruments with a new mixed measurement model having only two categories: amortized cost and fair value through profit or loss. IFRS 9 also replaces the models for measuring equity instruments and such instruments are either recognized at fair value through profit or loss or at fair value through other comprehensive income. The effective date of this standard is for annual periods beginning January 1, 2018. The Company will adopt this new standard as of its effective date. The Company has performed a preliminary assessment and does not expect there to be any significant impacts on the consolidated financial statements as a result of the adoption of this new standard.

   
(c)

IFRS 16 Leases

   

IFRS 16 was issued in January 2016 and replaces the previous guidance on leases. This standard provides a single recognition and measurement model to be applied by lessees to leases, with required recognition of assets and liabilities for most leases. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted if the Company is also applying IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company will adopt this new standard as of its effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

12.      Stock options (continued)

(d)        Fair value of options issued during the year

The fair value of the stock options is determined in accordance with the Black Scholes option-pricing model. The underlying assumptions are as follows:

    2018     2017  
Share price at grant date (per share) $  0.09   $  0.21  
Exercise price $  0.10   $  0.25

Expected life of options (in years)   5     5  
Expected dividend yield   0%     0%

Denominator   2018     2017     2016  
Weighted average number of common shares for computation of basic and diluted loss per share   237,242,674     207,131,781     199,572,966  

As at October 31, 2018 and 2017, all stock options and conversion options were anti-dilutive and, therefore, are excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share.

On October 7, 2018, the former President of MAST, Inc. (the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary), Mr. Steven Van Fleet, filed a lawsuit against Micromem and MAST in New York State Supreme Court, Dutchess County. In the action, Mr. Van Fleet is seeking payment of $214,574 plus interest relating to alleged remuneration and expense reimbursements due to him prior to his resignation as an officer and director of Micromem and MAST on August 17, 2018. The Company answered the complaint December 7, 2018 by denying the material allegations in Mr. Van Fleet’s claims. In addition, the Company interposed 7 counterclaims against Mr. Van Fleet seeking, among other things: (i) damages of not less than $2.75 million, (ii) specific performance to compel Mr. Van Fleet to comply with his contractual obligations which were required for the period of time that he served as an officer and director through to his resignation date; (iii) repayment of certain salary and expenses paid to Mr. Van Fleet; (iv) a direction for Mr. Van Fleet to turn over all Company property in his possession or control; (v) an accounting to determine all money and property belonging to the Company and/or MAST. On January 24, 2019, the Company amended its original answer and counterclaims to include, among other things, a demand for additional damages based on new information that has come to light. On February 8, 2019 Mr. Van Fleet, through his counsel, replied to and denied the material allegations in Micromem’s counterclaims. The Company reports an accrual of $205,788 at October 31, 2018 with respect to alleged remuneration and expense reimbursements claimed by Mr. Van Fleet but, nonetheless, has denied the allegations in Mr. Van Fleet’s claims . This matter remains as a contingency at February 28, 2019.

20.       Financial risk management

(a)

Currency risk

   

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value of, or future cash flows from, the Company's financial instruments will significantly fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to currency risk to the extent that it incurs expenses and issues convertible debentures denominated in Canadian dollars. The Company manages currency risk by monitoring the Canadian position of these monetary financial instruments on a periodic basis throughout the course of the year.

   

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


    Amount  
Cash $  99,139  
Convertible debentures $  1,877,487  
Trade payables and other liabilities $  318,172  
Derivative liabilities $  199,650  

A 10% strengthening of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar would serve to decrease the loss by $158,836 at October 31, 2018 (2017 – decrease loss by $421,748; 2016 – decrease the loss by $327,170). A 10% weakening of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar would have had the opposite effect of the same magnitude.

   
(b)

Interest rate risk

   

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of, or future cash flows from, the Company's financial instruments will significantly fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its interest-bearing convertible debentures. This exposure is limited due to the short-term nature of the convertible debentures.

   
(c)

Liquidity risk

   

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company's policy is to review liquidity resources and ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet financial obligations as they become due. Further, the Company's management is responsible for ensuring funds exist and are readily accessible to support business opportunities as they arise. The Company's funding is provided in the form of capital raised through the issuance of shares on conversion of convertible debentures.

   

All financial liabilities are due within 1 year as at October 31, 2018.


  (i)

Trade payables

     
 

The following represents an analysis of the maturity of the trade payables:


    2018     2017

20.      Financial risk management (continued)

(d)

Credit risk

   

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s development costs receivable. The maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying value of these financial assets. The Company reduces its credit risk by assessing the credit quality of counterparties, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors.

   

The following represents an analysis of the maturity of the age of the development costs receivable:


    2018     2017  
Less than 30 days past billing date $  81,841   $  340,857  
31 to 90 days past billing date   -     75,000  
  $  81,841   $  415,857  

21.      Capital risk management

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to (i) maintain its ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, (ii) ensure it has sufficient cash resources to further develop and market its technologies and (iii) maintain its ongoing operations. The Company defines its capital as its net assets, total assets less total liabilities. In order to secure the additional capital necessary to pursue these objectives, the Company may attempt to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity and warrantsorbysecuringstrategicpartners.
