Notes to Condensed Interim Financial Statements Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 (in Canadian dollars)
1. General information
Acceleware Ltd. (the “Company” or “Acceleware”) is a clean-tech oil and gas technology company based in Calgary, Alberta. The Company is developing an enhanced heavy oil and oil sands production technology based on radio frequency (“RF”) heating that is designed to reduce the environmental impact of oil production while also reducing cost. Acceleware also specializes in the development and marketing of special purpose computational software products for the oil and gas and other markets. The Company is incorporated under the Alberta Business Corporations Act, has its registered offices at 1400, 350 - 7th Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol AXE.
2. Basis of presentation
(a) Statement of compliance
These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) applicable to the preparation of condensed interim financial statements, including International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” (“IAS 34”) and have been prepared following the same accounting policies and method of computation as the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. The disclosures provided below are incremental to those included with the annual financial statements. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual financial statements have been condensed or have been disclosed on an annual basis only. Accordingly, these condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.
These financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on August 25, 2020
(b) Functional and presentation currency
The financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.
(c) Basis of measurement
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments classified as fair value through profit or loss which are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings, and share-based payment transactions. The method used to measure fair values is discussed in note 4(i) and 4(k) to the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.
(d) Significant accounting assumptions, estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements requires the Company’s management (“Management”) to make estimates and judgements that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Judgement is used in situations where there is a choice or assessment required by Management. Estimates and underlying assumptions are required on an ongoing basis and revisions are recognized in the year in which such estimates are revised.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) had an impact on the global economy, including the oil and gas industry. The Company has taken into account the impacts of COVID-19 and the unique circumstances it has created in making estimates, assumptions and judgements in the preparation of the unaudited

2. Basis of Presentation (cont’d)
(d) Significant accounting assumptions, estimates and judgements (cont’d)
interim consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ from estimated amounts, and those differences may be material.
3. Going concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has accumulated losses amounting to $29,495,286 (December 31, 2019 - $28,979,259) largely due to investments in new product development and in the penetration of new markets. In particular, the Company invested $457,222 net of government assistance of $738,614 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 (six months ended June 30, 2019 - $248,487 net of government assistance of $742,359), in research and development, principally for the Company’s proprietary RF heating technology (“RF XL” or “RF heating”).
The Company actively manages its cash flow and investment in new products to match its cash generated from operations including government assistance. In order to maximize cash generated from operations, the Company plans to focus on high gross margin revenue streams such as software, and RF heating services; focus on selected core vertical markets; minimize operating expenses where possible; and limit capital expenditure. As the Company continues to develop its RF heating technology, new research and development investments will be financed through a combination of internal cash flow from the high-performance computing software business, government assistance and external financing. Management believes that successful execution of its business plan will result in sufficient cash flow and new financing to fund projected operational and investment requirements. However, no assurances can be given that the Company will be able to achieve all or part of the objectives discussed above, or that sufficient financing from outside sources will be available. Additionally, the full extent of the impact of COVID19 on the Company’s operations and future financial performance is currently unknown and the continued impact on capital and financial markets on a macro-scale presents uncertainty and risk with respect to the Company's performance. Further, if the Company’s operations are unable to generate cash flow levels at or above current projections, the Company may not have sufficient funds to meet its obligations over the next twelve months.
Should such events occur, Management is committed to implementing all or a portion of its contingency plan. This plan has been developed and designed to provide additional cash flow, and includes, but is not limited to, deferring certain additional product development initiatives, and reducing sales, marketing and general and administrative expenses, while seeking outside financing.
The failure of the Company to achieve one or all of the above items may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of financial performance and cash flows.
These factors indicate the existence of material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon successful execution of its plans noted above. The outcome of these initiatives cannot be predicted at this time. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

4. Significant accounting policies
The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these condensed interim financial statements are unchanged from those disclosed in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.
5. Right of use assets and lease obligations
On February 29, 2012, Acceleware entered into a premise lease agreement to lease 5,244 square feet of office space commencing August 1, 2012 and ending July 31, 2017, a period of five years. Effective August 1, 2015, the lease was renegotiated and extended to July 31, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had negotiated an extension of the lease to September 30, 2020 on similar terms.
In addition to the basic monthly rents, the Company must pay a proportionate share of property taxes, operating costs, utilities and additional services. These payments are fixed throughout the year with an annual true up and are excluded from lease payments below.
The Company has certain computer equipment under various leases expiring 2020 through 2023. The leases carry a weighted average annual interest rate of 5.5%.
Depreciation expense for right of use computer hardware and office space assets is allocated 50% to research and development expense and 50% to general and administrative expense. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, $18,124 and $43,573, respectively (June 30, 2019 – $28,646 and $50,132) of depreciation expense for computer hardware and office space right of use assets is included in each of general and administrative and research and development expense on the statements of comprehensive loss. As at June 30, 2020, the net book value of computer hardware pledged as security for lease obligations is $47,120 (December 31, 2019 - $90,223).
The following table summarizes the undiscounted contractual cash flows to their present value for lease obligations:
| June 30, 2020 | December 31, 2019 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | $ | 52,524 | $ | 125,360 |

6. Government assistance
In the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company entered into contribution agreements with Sustainable Development Technology Canada (“SDTC”) and Emissions Reduction Alberta (“ERA”) whereby each will provide up to $5,000,000 funding for a commercial-scale test of RF XL enhanced oil recovery technology. Under the terms of the agreements, SDTC and ERA provide milestone-based funding at the beginning of a milestone. As a result of the unforeseen circumstances in the quarter due to COVID-19, SDTC increased its funding level by 5% and an additional $250,000 was received in the quarter. In April 2020, ERA announced it was reducing the holdback percentage and an additional $42,169 was received during the quarter.
Holdback amounts entitled to but not yet received are included in trade and other receivables on the statement of financial position. Funding received in excess of expenses incurred is deferred and recorded as accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the statement of financial position.
The following table outlines the amounts included in the statement of financial position:

(b) Share-based payments
At June 30, 2020, the Company had one equity-settled share-based compensation plan. The Company accounts for options granted under this plan in accordance with the fair value method of accounting for share-based compensation. The estimated fair value of the options that are ultimately expected to vest is recorded over the option’s vesting period and charged to share-based compensation expenses.
On June 22, 2020, the Company granted stock options to acquire up to 200,000 common shares of the Company to certain employees and directors. The options have an exercise price of $0.135 per common share and expire on June 22, 2025. Of the 200,000 options granted, 100,000 shall vest on the first anniversary of the grant date and 100,000 shall vest on the second anniversary of the grant date.
The Company’s stock option plan allows for 10,550,667 common shares to be reserved for issuance under the plan. Upon issuance of the options granted, there will be 10,375,868 common shares reserved under options outstanding, leaving 174,799 common shares that may be reserved for issuance under the Company’s stock option plan.
On January 23, 2020, the Company granted stock options to acquire up to 1,462,466 common shares of the Company to certain employees, officers and directors.

The weighted average grant date fair value of the stock options granted during 2020 was estimated to be $0.10 per option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following weighted average assumptions: expected volatility of 170%, a risk-free interest rate of 1.30%, expected dividend yield of nil%, expected forfeiture rate of 1.47% and expected life of five years. The expected volatility was determined by calculating the historical volatility of the Company’s common share price from the date of grant back to the date five years prior to the date of grant. The estimated fair value of each tranche of options not immediately vesting is amortized to share-based payments over the option vesting period on a straight-line basis. For options that had vesting conditions based on the closing price of the Company’s common shares, the vesting period was estimated using a binomial option pricing simulation based on the following weighted average assumptions: expected volatility of 171%, a risk-free interest rate of 1.43%, expected dividend yield of nil%, expected forfeiture rate of 1.6% and expected life of five years.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company granted to certain employees, contractors, officers, and directors options to purchase a total of 2,956,066 common shares at an exercise price of $0.13 per share. Of the total, 2,475,000 options vest over two years, such that 1,237,500 of the options will vest one year from the date of grant, and 1,237,500 will vest two years from the date of grant. The remaining options vest based on the market price of the Company’s common shares, such that 240,503 options will vest when the closing market price of the Company’s common shares exceeds $0.16 for ten consecutive trading days, and 204,503 options will vest when the closing market price of the Company’s common shares exceeds $0.195 for ten consecutive trading days. All options granted expire 5 years from the date of grant.
The weighted average grant date fair value of the stock options granted during 2019 was estimated to be $0.122 per option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following weighted average assumptions: expected volatility of 177%, a risk-free interest rate of 1.78%, expected dividend yield of nil%, expected forfeiture rate of 1.0% and expected life of five years. The expected volatility was determined by calculating the historical volatility of the Company’s common share price from the date of grant back to the date five years prior to the date of grant. The estimated fair value of each tranche of options not immediately vesting is amortized to share-based payments over the option vesting period on a straight-line basis. For options that had vesting conditions based on the closing price of the Company’s common shares, the vesting period was estimated using a binomial option pricing simulation based on the following weighted average assumptions: expected volatility of 177%, a risk-free interest rate of 1.78%, expected dividend yield of nil%, expected forfeiture rate of 1.0% and expected life of five years.
Total share-based payment expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 were $42,233 relating to general and administrative (three months ended June 30, 2019 - $77,398) and $13,892 relating to research and development (three months ended June 30, 2019 - $40,083) for a total of $56,125 (three months ended June 30, 2019 - $117,481).
