NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the three-month periods ended February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020 (expressed in Canadian Dollars)
1. DESCRIPTION OF INCORPORATION AND OPERATIONS
C-COM Satellite Systems Inc. (the “Company”) was federally incorporated under the Canadian Business Corporations Act on December 9, 1997. On July 24, 2000, the Company's stock began trading on TSX Venture Exchange. The Company is engaged in the development of high quality, cost effective, satellite - based technology that allows the delivery of high-speed internet access for fixed, transportable and mobile end-users. The address of its registered office and principal place of business is 2574 Sheffield Road, Ottawa, Ontario K1B 3V7.
These unaudited interim condensed financial statements for the three-month period ended February 28, 2021 were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on April 19, 2021.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These unaudited interim condensed financial statements are expressed in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency, and have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) IAS34 – Interim financial reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (“IASB”). These unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and in accordance with the accounting policies the Company adopted in its annual financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2020 and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended November 30, 2020. These unaudited interim condensed financial statements do not include all of the information required in annual financial statements.
Some of the fiscal 2020 comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation.
These unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis using historical cost conventions.
3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
IFRS 16 Leases
In January 2016, the IASB released IFRS 16 Leases which replaced IAS 17 Leases. IFRS 16 set out a single lessee accounting model that requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for all lease agreements unless the underlying asset has a low value or the lease term is twelve months or less. A lessee is required to recognize a right-of-use asset for the underlying leased asset and a lease liability representing the present value of payment obligations for the lease term. IFRS 16 is effective for the Company’s annual periods beginning on December 1, 2019, and then presented on a modified retroactive basis.
The Company assessed the new standard and reviewed its portfolio of lease contracts in order to identify leases under the scope of IFRS 16. The Company’s lease on its premises was renewed for a one-year period. Accordingly, the Company has opted for using the standard’s practical expedient method of reporting and does not recognize right-of-use assets that have a lease term of 12 months or less.
The Company did not adopt any new accounting policies in Q1, 2021.
There are no other required or contemplated future changes in the Company’s accounting policies.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the three-month periods ended February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020 (expressed in Canadian Dollars)
4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the Company’s management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
There were no significant changes in estimates or approaches to determining estimates in the periods presented when compared to the estimates or approaches used in the annual financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2020.
5. IMPACT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the Coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. This has resulted in significant financial, market and societal impacts in Canada and around the world.
COVID-19 has caused heightened uncertainty and volatility in the global economy. If economic growth slows further or if a recession develops, customers may not have the financial means to purchase the Company’s products, thereby potentially having a negative impact on the Company’s financial performance. Since the impact of COVID-19 is ongoing, the effect of the COVID19 outbreak and the related impact on the global economy may not be fully reflected in the Company’s financial statements until future periods. Further, volatility in the capital markets may continue, which may cause declines in the price of the Company’s shares and may also affect its ability to raise working capital through equity or debt transactions.
The ultimate duration and magnitude of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on the Company’s operations and financial position is not known at this time. An estimate of the financial effect of the pandemic on the Company is not practicable at this time.
6. GOVERNMENT GRANTS
During 2020, the Company commenced a contribution agreement with the National Research Council Canada (NRC) – Industrial Research Assistance Program (IRAP) to reduce the cost of a specific research and development project undertaken in 2020. The Contribution agreement started July 1, 2020 and is to be completed June 30, 2023. NRC-IRAP has agreed to contribute up to a maximum of $423,597 over the period of the agreement with specific maximum contribution amounts allocated to each fiscal year. In Q1, 2021 the Company received $61,534 from NRC (Q1, 2020 – Nil), which was credited to research and development expense. NRC – IRAP reserves the right to claim back all or part of the grant plus interest from the Company under certain circumstances. No repayment has been requested for and no contingent liability has been accrued at year end.
The Company also commenced a non-repayable contribution agreement with the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) in fiscal 2020 to help fund the cost of a specific research and development project. The Contribution agreement started July 10, 2020 and is to be completed by December 31, 2022. The CSA has agreed to contribute up to a maximum of $1,000,000 over the period of the agreement with specific maximum contribution amounts allocated to each fiscal year. The Company did not invoice the CSA during Q1, 2021.
In addition, the Company applied for the following financial support from the Canadian Government related to COVID-19 relief:
- i) The Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy (“CEWS”) program: during Q1 2021, the Company applied for and received a total of $117,664 in CEWS funding – all of which has been applied to the Company’s General & Administrative and R&D expense categories. No CEWS payment amounts were booked in Q1, 2020.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the three-month periods ended February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020 (expressed in Canadian Dollars)
6. GOVERNMENT GRANTS (CONTINUED)
- ii) The Canadian Emergency Rent Subsidy (“CERS”) program: during Q1, 2021, the Company applied for and accrued a total of $14,407 in CERS funding – all of which has been credited to general and administration expenses. No CERS payment amounts were booked in Q1, 2020.
7. SEASONALITY
The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. The Company’s revenues and earnings have historically been subject to some quarterly seasonality due to the timing of vacation periods and statutory holidays.
8. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION
IFRS 8 “Operating Segments” defines an operating segment as (a) a component of an entity that engages in business activities from it which may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity), (b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance and (c) for which discrete financial information is available.
For managements purposes the Company’s activities are attributable to a single operating segment, engaged in the design and manufacture of auto-deploying mobile satellite antennas. Consequently, the group does not present any operating segment information.

8. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Major Customers
For the quarter ended February 28, 2021, the Company had one customer who accounted for more than 10% of revenues with $3,565,662, or 75.6% of total revenues (for the quarter ending February 29, 2020 – the Company had one customer account for more than 10% of revenues, generating $142,255).
9. ISSUED CAPITAL
Stock options
The Company has an established stock option plan, which provides that the Board of Directors may grant stock options to eligible directors, officers and employees. Under the plan, eligible directors, officers and employees are granted the right to purchase shares of common stock at a price established by the Board of Directors on the date the options are granted but in no circumstances below fair market value of the shares at the date of grant. On May 1, 2020, the Company reset the option pool to 20% of the issued and outstanding common shares on that date. Formal approval for the reset was received from the TSXV on May 20, 2020. A total of 7,618,320 common shares are authorized for issuance under the plan, of which 1,481,870 are available to be granted. No consideration is payable on the grant of an option with options generally vesting after one year from the date of grant.
As at February 28, 2021 there were 4,615,300 options outstanding, of which 3,400,800 were exercisable.
Outstanding share capital
At February 28, 2021 there were 39,612,750 common shares of the Company outstanding. (February 29, 2020 – 37,966,900)
10. NET EARNINGS PER SHARE
The diluted weighted average number of shares has been calculated as follows:
| 3 months ended | 3 months ended | |
|---|---|---|
| February 28, 2021 | February 29, 2020 | |
| Weighted average number of shares – basic | 39,567,188 | 37,966,900 |
| Addition to reflect the dilutive effect of employee stock options | 2,335,726 | 1,874,462 |
| Weighted average number of shares – diluted | 41,902,914 | 39,841,362 |
Options that are anti-dilutive because the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share. For the three-month period ending February 28, 2021, no options were excluded from the above calculation (February 29, 2020 – no anti-dilutive options were excluded from the above calculation). Net income represents the measure of profit and loss used to calculated earnings per share.
