SPECTRA7 MICROSYSTEMS INC. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (Expressed in United States Dollars)
1. Nature of operations, going concern and continuation of the business
Spectra7 Microsystems Inc. (the “Company” or “Spectra7”), is a publicly traded company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”). The Company delivers high performance analog semiconductors at unmatched bandwidth, speed and resolution to enable disruptive industrial design for leading electronics manufacturers in data centers, Virtual Reality (“VR”), Augmented Reality (“AR”) and other connectivity markets.
The Company is domiciled in Canada and its registered office is located at 181 Bay Street, Suite 1800, Toronto, Canada M5J 2T9.
The Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will continue its operations for the foreseeable future and be able to realize the carrying value of its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. The Company incurred a comprehensive loss of $2,365,891 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 (June 30, 2022 - $4,378,154) and has an accumulated deficit of $182,180,091 (December 31, 2022 - $179,815,622). To date, the Company has funded operations through debt financings and through private and public equity offerings. These factors represent material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional financing and/or achieve profitable operations in the future. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the going concern assumption were not appropriate.
The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the Company and its impact on the data center programs is uncertain. While demand for the Company’s new data center products remains strong, Spectra7 continues to experience significant customer disruptions, logistics and supply chain challenges caused by the associated shutdowns due to COVID-19 that are expected to continue to impact overall revenues in the near term. The Company continues to pursue the best available paths to manage operational risk and preserve capital during this time.

Holders converting their 14% Debentures will receive accrued and unpaid interest thereon for the period from and including the date of the latest interest payment date to, and including, the date of conversion. In connection with the Offering, the Company paid $387,761 (CDN $500,968) in finder’s fees and issued an aggregate of 401,603 finder’s warrants, with each such warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one common share at a price of $1.02 for a period of two years from the date of issuance.
The Company determines the carrying amount of the financial liability using the present value of future cash flows with the principal amount of $6,694,367 and a discount rate of 25.8%. Debt component is being amortized using an effective interest rate of approximately 21% over its remaining term. The liability component is then increased by accretion of the discounted amounts to reach the nominal value of the convertible notes at maturity which is recorded in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss as accretion expense.
The carrying amount of other components (when applicable), such as warrants, is determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions: volatility of 172%, expected term of 2 years, risk free rate of 3.12% and zero dividend. The carrying amount of the equity component is calculated by deducting the carrying amount of the financial liability and the carrying amounts of any other components from the amount of the convertible notes, and is presented in Equity as an equity component of convertible notes.
The transaction costs are distributed between liability, equity and other (when applicable) components, on a pro rata basis according to their carrying amounts. Accordingly, the face value of the 14% Debentures, net of issuance costs, were allocated as follows:
| $ | |
|---|---|
| Liability component | 335,758 |
| Conversion feature | 52,003 |
| Transaction costs | 387,761 |

that is thirty (30) days following the delivery of an acceleration notice to the holders of the March 2023 Warrants if, at any time following the closing date of the March 2023 Private Placement, the closing price of the common shares is greater than CDN $4.00 for a period of 10 non-consecutive trading days on the TSXV.

Gross proceeds from the March 2023 Private Placement were allocated to the common shares and warrants based on their relative fair values, net of issuance costs. The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions: volatility of 172%, expected term of 5 years, risk free rate of 3.59% and zero dividend. The equity portion allocated to warrant was $1,992,688.
(b) Share-based compensation
The Company has established a stock option plan (the “Stock Option Plan”) and a restricted share unit plan (the “RSU Plan”) with the intention of attracting, retaining and motivating employees, officers and directors.

At the annual and special meeting of shareholders in June 2023, shareholders approved amendments to both the Stock Option Plan and the RSU Plan to provide that the combined maximum number of common shares reserved for issuance under both the Stock Option Plan and the RSU Plan, inclusive of existing stock options and RSUs, shall not exceed 20% of the then outstanding common shares or 7,965,460 common shares.
(i) Restricted Share Units (RSU)
Vesting is determined by the Company’s Board of Directors at the time of grant. Vesting is contingent upon continuous service/employment through the specific vesting date. The fair value as of the grant date is used to determine the value.

9. Economic dependence
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company derived approximately 100% and 100% of its revenue from two customers, respectively (three and six months ended June 30, 2022 – 100% and 93% from two customers, respectively).
10. Financial instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, lease obligation on right of use assets and convertible debt. These financial instruments are classified as financial assts and liabilities at amortized cost and are reported at amortized cost.
Basis of fair values
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the statement 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 – quoted prices (unadjusted) observed in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)
If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred. There have been no significant transfers between levels during the year.
The carrying value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair values due to their nature and their short-term to maturity.
The Company may be exposed to risks of varying degrees of significance that affect its ability to achieve its strategic objectives. The main objectives of the Company’s risk processes are to ensure that the risks are properly identified and that the capital base is adequate in relation to those risks. The principal risks to which the Company is exposed to are as follows:
Foreign currency risk
The Company may undertake sales and purchases transactions in foreign currencies, and therefore is exposed to gains or losses due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Management believes the foreign exchange risk derived from currency conversions is currently low and therefore does not actively hedge its foreign currency risk. There has been no change to the Company’s policies and processes with respect to the way it manages foreign currency risk.
Interest risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Interest rate risk associated with the Company’s 14% Debentures arises from fluctuations in interest rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. The 14% Debentures provide for a fixed annual rate of 14% and hence no interest rate risk. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to reduce its exposure to interest rate risk.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to trade and other receivables and money held in the Company’s bank accounts. The carrying value of these assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The Company mitigates this risk by monitoring the credit worthiness of its customers and only dealing with creditworthy counterparties. At June 30, 2023, three customers represented 100% of the Company’s trade and other receivables.

Liquidity risk
The Company’s objective is to have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due. The Company monitors its cash balances and cash flows generated from operations to meet its requirements. There has been no change to the Company’s policies and processes with respect to the way it manages liquidity risk.
11. Capital management
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to: (i) ensure the Company continues to operate as a going concern to maximize the return on investment to shareholders; (ii) ensure sufficient liquidity to meet the Company’s financial obligations and to execute its operating and strategic plans; and (iii) minimize the after tax cost of capital while taking into consideration current and future industry, market and economic risks and conditions. The Company’s capital structure consists of its equity, loan facility and convertible debentures. Other than covenants disclosed in convertible debentures note (Note 6), there are no externally imposed restrictions on capital.
The Company intends to maintain a flexible capital structure in order to finance its ongoing growth and respond to changes in economic conditions.
