Acceleware Ltd.
Notes to Condensed Interim Financial Statements June 30, 2024 and 2023
(in Canadian dollars)
1. General information
Acceleware Ltd. (the “Company” or “Acceleware”) is a clean-tech 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. That same RF heating technology is also being applied to the decarbonization of certain other industrial heating applications currently in development. 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 1900, 520 - 3rd 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, 2023. 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, 2023, 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 15, 2024.
(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 certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value.
(d) Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the result of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates.
Estimates, judgments and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which such estimates are revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the review affects both the current and future periods.

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. As of June 30, 2024 the Company has a deficit balance of $42,052,103 (December 31, 2023 - $42,346,046).
This indicates the existence of material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. 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, industry partners 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. 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.
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, 2023.
5. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities
Included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities are deferred compensation amounts owing to management of $1,307,513 (December 31, 2023 - $1,159,808).

6. Notes payable
As at June 30, 2024 the Company has promissory notes outstanding totaling $857,627 bearing interest at an annual effective rate of 16.4% (December 31, 2023 - $875,000, annual effective rate of 20.0%). Repayment terms are 180 days from the date of the promissory note.
7. Convertible debentures
Fair value of the conversion option with the anti-dilution option was measured using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The forced conversion option was measured using a binomial option pricing model and the net present value of financing costs saved upon exercise of the option. The pre-payment option was determined to have no material value. The following assumptions were used as inputs into the pricing models:
| June 30, 2024 | December 31,2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Expected volatility | 1.32 | 1.20 – 1.31 |
| Risk-free interest rate | 4.39% | 4.18% |
| Share price on measurement date | $0.115 | $0.34 |
| Expected dividend yield | Nil | Nil |
| Expected life | 1.75 years | 0.25 – 2.25 years |
The value of each component, allocated amongst the debt host and embedded derivatives is as follows:
| Principal | Debt | Derivative Liabilities | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Balance, December 31, 2022 | $ | 1,904,341 | 1,257,041 | 647,300 |

| Balance, June 30, 2024 | 1,612,004 | 1,577,604 | 34,400 |
As at June 30, 2024 there was $nil interest payable included in other current liabilities on the statement of financial position (December 31, 2023 - $nil).

8. Share capital and other components of shareholders’ equity
(a) Share capital
The authorized share capital of the Company consists of an unlimited number of common shares, and unlimited number of first preferred shares, of which conditions are to be determined; and an unlimited number of second preferred shares, of which conditions are to be determined.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, no stock options were exercised (three months ended June 30, 2023 – 1,205,000) for cash proceeds of $nil (three months ended June 30, 2023 - $211,700). Non-cash compensation charges of $nil (three months ended June 30,2023 - $207,842) were reclassified from contributed surplus to share capital on the exercise of these options.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, no stock options were exercised (six months ended June 30, 2023 – 1,205,000) for cash proceeds of $nil (six months ended June 30, 2023 - $211,700). Non-cash compensation charges of $nil (six months ended June 30, 2023 - $207,842) were reclassified from contributed surplus to share capital on the exercise of these options.
(b) Share-based payments
At June 30, 2024, 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.
The following options were granted in the six-month period ended:
| June 30, 2024 | June 30, 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Standard options granted | 1,929,000 | 4,565,000 |
| Performance options granted | 500,000 | 900,000 |
| Weighted average exercise price per common share | $0.135 | $0.23 |
| Term to expiry | 5 years | 5 years |
Of the 2,429,000 options granted in the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, 964,500 shall vest on the first anniversary of the grant date, 964,500 shall vest on the second anniversary of the grant date, 250,000 shall vest when the share price of the common shares of the Company closes at or above $0.17 for ten consecutive trading days, and 250,000 shall vest when the share price of the common shares of the Company closes at or above $0.20 for ten consecutive trading days.

On April 5, 2022, the Company closed its second non-brokered private placement on terms, similar to the first, for gross proceeds of $715,000. Each debenture unit consisted of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitled the holder to acquire one common share, at an exercise price equal to 200% of the conversion price of the debentures for a 24-month period following the issuance of the debentures. As of June 30, 2024, all warrants expired unexercised resulting in a reduction of the derivative liability.
(d) Earnings per share
The calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for the diluted loss per share calculation excludes the impact of the options outstanding as at June 30, 2024 and 2023 as the effect is anti-dilutive.

(a) Data revenue
Since 2018, the Company entered into Project Funding Agreements and Test Data Purchase Agreements (the “Agreements”) with three major oil-sands producers, the terms of which provide the customer with the right to access and use data obtained from the commercial-scale pilot of RF XL technology Acceleware is conducting at Marwayne, Alberta. Under the terms of the Agreements, Acceleware will receive total funding of up to $6,000,000, paid in installments upon completion of each milestone. Each milestone payment is non-refundable.
Under IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers , these contracts did not meet all requirements for revenue recognition over-time, therefore revenue recognition defaults to the end of the contract. For each completed milestone, the Company has no outstanding obligation to deliver goods or services. Revenue of up to $5,850,000 for this contract was to be recognized once all milestones have been met or the contract is terminated, whichever is earlier. Software and maintenance revenue of $150,000 was recognized in prior years.
In the three months ended June 30, 2024 the Company completed all milestones under a Project Funding Agreement and as such recognized $1,950,000 revenue related to that performance obligation and deferred contract costs of $169,971 (three months ended June 30, 2023 - $nil). Subsequent to June 30, 2024, a Test Data Purchase Agreement with a second customer was terminated and as such the Company will recognize $950,000 revenue in the third quarter of 2024. The remaining revenue of $1,950,000 from a third customer will be recognized when all milestones have been met, or contract is terminated, whichever is earlier. All payments expected under these agreements have been received.
(b) Major Customers
The Company derived significant revenues from one major customer which exceeded 10% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Revenue from these customers was $1,950,000 at June 30, 2024 (June 30, 2023 – two major customers for a total revenue of $65,403).
The Company derived significant revenues from one major customer which exceeded 10% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Revenue from these customers was $1,950,000 at June 30, 2024 (June 30, 2023 – three major customers for a total revenue of $160,097).
