Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) Canadian dollars in thousands, except per share amounts

Agreement. The Revolving Facility matures on March 29, 2022. Certain of Baylin's subsidiaries are guarantors of the Revolving Facility.

The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants that the Company must comply with, including the following financial covenants: the Company must maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio and senior debt to EBITDA ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) calculated at the end of each quarter. The Credit Agreement also includes other customary covenants and events of default.

On June 8, 2020, the Company and the Lenders agreed to make certain amendments to the Credit Agreement including amendments to the fixed charge coverage ratio and senior debt to EBITDA ratio calculated at the end of each quarter, adding a minimum Adjusted EBITDA covenant for the trailing twelve months ending June 30, 2020, adding a minimum liquidity covenant until December 31, 2020, a reduction of $2,000 to the Revolving Facility, an increase of 0.5% in the rate of interest that would otherwise apply at any time the senior debt to EBITDA Ratio is more than 2.75:1.00 and an increase of 0.1% in the standby fee that would otherwise apply at any time the senior debt to EBITDA ratio is more than 2.75:1.00. The Lenders waived compliance with the financial covenants as at March 31, 2020.

As at June 30, 2020, the interest rate on the Revolving Facility was 6.00% on United States Dollar advances, 4.70% on Canadian Dollar advances and 3.43% on LIBO Rate advances. As at June 30, 2020, the standby fee on the undrawn portion of the Revolving Facility was 0.65% per annum.

NOTE 7: LOAN AND TERM LOAN

On January 17, 2018, the Company entered into a term loan ("Loan") with Crown Capital Fund IV, LP with a principal amount of $33,000, an annual interest rate of 9% and a maturity date of January 17, 2023. Debt issuance costs of $3,427, including the common share purchase warrants issued in connection with the Loan, were incurred and were capitalized against the Loan. During the period from January 1, 2019 to March 29, 2019, $142 of amortization of debt issuance costs was recognized in finance expense.

On March 29, 2019, the Company prepaid the Loan thus extinguishing the debt, using funds advanced under the Term Loan (as defined below) and the Revolving Facility. The Company paid Crown Capital Fund IV, LP a prepayment fee of $990 and expensed the unamortized debt issuance costs in the amount of $2,777 which were included in finance expense.

On March 29, 2019, in connection with the Revolving Facility and pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders also established a term credit facility ("Term Loan") in favour of the Company for up to $28,619. The principal amount under the Term Loan was advanced in United States Dollars at closing and was used to repay the Loan. Quarterly principal payments in the amount of $1,022 commenced on June 30, 2019. The Term Loan matures on

Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) Canadian dollars in thousands, except per share amounts

March 29, 2022. The interest rate on the Term Loan is determined based on the LIBO Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus the applicable margin and the Company's senior debt to EBITDA ratio (as detailed in the Credit Agreement) and is payable quarterly in arrears. Certain of Baylin's subsidiaries are guarantors of the Term Loan. The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants that the Company must comply with including the following financial covenants: the Company must maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio and senior debt to EBITDA ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) calculated at the end of each quarter. The Credit Agreement also includes other customary covenants and events of default.

Commencing July 26, 2019, the Company entered into an interest rate swap arrangement where the LIBO Rate portion of the interest rate on the Term Loan was fixed at 2% until maturity on March 29, 2022. As at June 30, 2020, the interest rate swap contract was valued as a liability within other long-term liabilities on the balance sheet of $651. The fair value of the interest rate swap contract was valued using a future LIBOR curve.

On June 8, 2020, the Company and the Lenders agreed to make certain amendments to the Credit Agreement including amendments to the fixed charge coverage ratio and senior debt to EBITDA ratio calculated at the end of each quarter, adding a minimum Adjusted EBITDA covenant for the trailing twelve months ending June 30, 2020, adding a minimum liquidity covenant until December 31, 2020 and an increase of 0.5% in the rate of interest that would otherwise apply at any time the senior debt to EBITDA ratio is more than 2.75:1.00. As at June 30, 2020, the interest rate on the term loan was 3.56%. The Lenders waived compliance with the financial covenants as at March 31, 2020. The Lenders also agreed that the scheduled principal repayments on the Term Loan on June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020 may be deferred at the Company's option. The scheduled principal repayment on the Term Loan on June 30, 2020 was deferred.

NOTE 8: CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

On July 10, 2018, the Company completed a bought deal public offering of 7,419,355 subscription receipts ("Subscription Receipts") at $3.10 per Subscription Receipt and $17,250 principal amount of 6.5% extendible convertible unsecured debentures ("Debentures") for aggregate gross proceeds of $40,250 (the "2018 Offering"). The Debentures bear interest at a rate of 6.5% per annum, payable in arrears semi-annually on June 30 and December 31 of each year and mature on July 10, 2023 (the "Maturity Date"). On July 11, 2018, upon satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions, each Subscription Receipt was converted into one common share.

The Debentures are convertible at the holder's option into common shares at any time prior to the close of business on the earlier of: (i) last business day before the Maturity Date; or (ii) if called for redemption, the business day immediately preceding the date specified by the Company for redemption, at a conversion price of $3.85 per common share (the "Conversion Price"), being a ratio of approximately 260 common shares per $1 principal amount of Debentures, subject to adjustment in certain events in accordance with a convertible debenture indenture dated July 10, 2018 (the "Indenture").

The Debentures will not be redeemable by the Company prior to July 10, 2021 (except in certain limited circumstances following a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture). On or after July 10, 2021, and prior to the Maturity Date, the Company may, at its option, subject to providing not more than 60 days' and not less than 30 days' prior notice, redeem the Debentures, in whole or, from time to time, in part, at par plus accrued and unpaid interest provided that the volume-weighted average trading price of the common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") for the 20 consecutive trading days ending five trading days preceding the date on which

Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) Canadian dollars in thousands, except per share amounts

notice of redemption is given (the "Current Market Price") is not less than 125% of the Conversion Price. The Company may, at its option, subject to regulatory approval, elect to satisfy its obligation to pay the principal amount of Debentures on redemption or at maturity, provided no Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) has occurred and is continuing at such time, upon not more than 60 days' and not less than 30 days' prior written notice, by delivering that number of freely tradeable common shares obtained by dividing the principal amount of the Debentures being repaid by 95% of the Current Market Price on the date of redemption or maturity, as applicable.

Upon a Change of Control of the Company, the Company may be required to repurchase the Debentures, at the option of the holder, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Debentures outstanding, plus accrued interest.

The Company paid the underwriters a cash commission equal to 6.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures issued, except Debentures issued to certain directors and officers of the Company for which a reduced commission of 3.0% was paid. No conversion of the Debentures have been exercised to date.

On May 14, 2020, the Company offered holders of the Debentures the option to receive common shares as an alternative to cash as payment of interest due for the interest payment date on June 30, 2020. Holders who exercised the option received common shares at 85% of their current market price on the June 30, 2020 interest payment date. These shares are subject to a restriction on resale for a period of four months after that date. On June 30, 2020, holders of the Debentures who exercised the option were issued 355,840 common shares for a total of $329.

NOTE 9: EMPLOYEE BENEFIT LIABILITIES

The Group accounts for that part of the payment of compensation that is not covered by contributions in defined contribution plans as a defined benefit plan for which an employee benefit liability is recognized and for which the Group deposits amounts in qualifying insurance policies.

Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) Canadian dollars in thousands, except per share amounts

The liability for employee benefits shown in the statement of financial position reflects the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of the plan assets. The present value of the benefits is determined at year end, based on actuarial valuations.

NOTE 10: SHARE CAPITAL AND SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

a. Pursuant to the Company's Deferred Share Unit Plan for directors of the Company (the "DSU Plan"), the Company grants deferred share units ("DSUs") to directors as part of its long-term incentive compensation plan. Unless otherwise approved by the board of directors, each director may elect to receive between 50% and 100% of their annual retainers in DSUs. If no election is made, a deemed election of 50% applies. The number of DSUs issued is determined each month while the applicable director is serving as a board member. DSUs granted may be settled subsequent to a director ceasing to be a director of the Company and its subsidiaries: (i) in common shares purchased by the Company on the open market for delivery to the director; (ii) in common shares issued from treasury; (iii) in cash; or (iv) any combination of the foregoing. The maximum number of common shares reserved for issuance upon redemption of DSUs under the DSU Plan is equal to 500,000.

The following table lists the number of DSUs issued:

The Company recognized an expense of $126 in the six months ended June 30, 2020 and $101 in the six months ended June 30, 2019 within general and administrative expenses with regards to the DSU Plan.

b. The Company's stock option plan (the "Stock Option Plan") was adopted so the board of directors can grant stock options to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company (or its affiliates) as performance incentives. There are limitations on the number of common shares issuable under the Stock Option Plan (and all other security-based compensation arrangements), as well as limitations on the number of common shares issuable to insiders (or their affiliates). At the time of granting a stock option, the board of directors must approve: (i) the exercise price, being not less than the market value of the common shares; (ii) the vesting provisions, generally being over three to five years with an equal number of common shares vesting on each anniversary of the grant date; and, (iii) the expiry date, generally being no more than seven years after the grant date. The intrinsic value of surrendered stock options can be settled in (i) cash; (ii) common shares; or (iii) as combination of cash or common shares at the discretion of the Company.

Advantech Wireless Inc.

On January 17, 2018, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, the Company acquired from Advantech Wireless Inc. and certain of its affiliates 100% of the assets (the "Advantech Acquisition") of their radio frequency, terrestrial microwave and antenna equipment divisions. Advantech Wireless Inc. (now known as SpaceBridge Inc.) is owned and controlled by David Gelerman, a director of the Company until April 3, 2020.

Pursuant to the terms of the Advantech Acquisition, SpaceBridge Inc. was entitled to additional compensation of between $750 and $3,000 per year in each of 2018 and 2019 conditional on the Advantech Wireless business meeting certain EBITDA targets in those years. The EBITDA target was not met in 2018 and 2019. On June 1, 2020 Spacebridge contested that the 2019 EBITDA targets were not met. The Company is opposing the objection.

In connection with the Advantech Acquisition, SpaceBridge Inc. entered into a consulting agreement with the Company payable in cash and common shares. $312 was recognized in general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

SpaceBridge Inc. and certain of its affiliates acted as an agent for the Company and as at June 30, 2020, $2,427 was due to the Company and was included in trade receivables and $1,495 due to the agent was included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

The Company did not provide services to SpaceBridge Inc. or its affiliates during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and provided $429 during the six months ended June 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $397 was included within trade receivables.

Legal Proceedings

In the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company received a payment from the escrow agent of approximately $1,800 as a result of a claim made by the Company against the portion of the cash purchase price being held in escrow pursuant to the terms of the Advantech Acquisition. The sum was released by the escrow agent because the vendor of Advantech failed to contest the indemnity claim within the prescribed time period. After the payment was made, the vendor of Advantech filed an application for relief from forfeiture to have the payment returned to the escrow agent. The Company is opposing the application. No date has been set to hear the application.

The Company has filed statements of claim claiming damages against the vendor of Advantech for various breaches of the asset purchase agreement for the Advantech Acquisition. The claims, in the aggregate, total approximately $5,975. The vendor has filed statements of defence as well as statements of counterclaim totaling approximately $1,600. It has also delivered multiple indemnity claims pursuant to the terms of the Advantech Acquisition seeking to set off the amounts being claimed by the Company. The Company has contested the indemnity claims.

In the second quarter of 2019, the vendor of Advantech filed an application asserting oppression for, among other things, unspecified amounts in relation to the 2018 earn out under the terms of the Advantech Acquisition and for shares in the Company for which set-off has been claimed by the Company. The vendor alleges that Mr. Gelerman was improperly denied from participating in the management of the Company resulting in a lower earn out. The Company will defend the allegations. No date has been set for the application related to claims for compensation. The issue of whether the Company is entitled to assert set-off on the common shares was argued on October 29, 2019. In January 2020, the court found that Mr. Gelerman is entitled to complete his term as director and the set-off shares must be released. The Company has appealed the ruling.

In the first quarter of 2020, the vendor of Advantech filed a statement of claim claiming damages against the Company for various breaches of the asset purchase and other agreements related to the Advantech Acquisition. These claims include the multiple indemnity claims previously made by the Advantech Vendor as well as additional claims for breach of an agreement governing transitional services following the Advantech Acquisition.

The Company is unable to determine at this time whether it will be entitled to recover or required to pay any amounts related to these legal proceedings. Accordingly, no provision has been recorded in respect of the claims or counter claims.

Alga

On July 11, 2018, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Alga Microwave Inc. ("Alga") through a newly incorporated, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Alga Acquisition").

For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and the six months ended June 30, 2019, $78 was recognized in revenue for premises leased to a company partly owned by Michael Perelshtein, an employee of Alga.

Legal Proceedings

In the third quarter of 2019, the vendors of Alga Microwave filed an application asserting that an event occurred which triggered the payment of an earnout in the amount of $1,000 as detailed in the share purchase agreement. The Company does not agree that the payment has been triggered and has contested the application. No date has been set for the application. The Company is unable to determine at this time whether it will be required to pay any amounts related to these legal proceedings. Accordingly, no provision has been recorded in respect of the claim.

NOTE 13: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company classifies its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standards.

The following table presents the Company's financial liabilities measured and recognized at fair value:

As at June30, 2020
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Convertible Debentures $ 13,455 $ - $ - $13,455
Interest Rate Swap $ - $ 651 $ - $651
As at December31, 2019
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Convertible Debentures $ 14,231 $ - $ - $14,231
Interest Rate Swap $ - $ 186 $ - $186

Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and trading and available-for-sale securities) is based on quoted (unadjusted) market prices at the end of the reporting period. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the group is the current bid price.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over–the–counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. The present value of future cash flows based on observable yield curves was the valuation technique used to determine the fair value of the interest rate swap.
