SPHERE 3D CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited, expressed in U.S. dollars)

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Sphere 3D Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on May 2, 2007 as T.B. Mining Ventures Inc.

Sphere 3D Corp. is a technology development company focused on establishing its patent pending emulation and virtualization technology. Over the last three years, Sphere 3D has designed a proprietary platform, namely Glassware 2.0™, for the delivery of applications from a server-based computing architecture. Through the creation of Glassware 2.0, software is made available from a central location irrespective of the device that is accessing the software. The Company's products enable the integration of virtual applications and virtual desktops, and allows organizations to deploy a combination of public, private or hybrid cloud strategies.

The Company may have to raise additional capital to fund operations until such point that revenues from products and technology are able to fund operations. If the Company is not able to raise sufficient capital then there is the risk that the Company will not be able to realize the value of its assets and discharge its liabilities.

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), applied on a basis consistent for all periods. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All intercompany balances and transactions have been appropriately eliminated on consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2014 presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to the determination of provisions for litigation claims, deferred revenue, allowance for doubtful receivables, inventory valuation, warranty provisions, deferred income taxes, impairment assessments of property and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Foreign currency translation

The Company uses the U.S. dollar as its reporting currency and Canadian dollar for its functional currency. Exchange gains or losses are included as part of other comprehensive income for the period and accumulated other comprehensive loss as part of shareholders’ deficit.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements establishes a three tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

Our financial instruments include cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses and long-term debt. Fair value estimates of these instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information. These estimates may be subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. The carrying amount of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses are generally considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of those instruments. Further, based on the borrowing rates currently available to us for loans with similar terms, we believe the fair value of long-term debt approximates its carrying value.

5

---

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets acquired in a non-monetary exchange, the estimated fair values of the assets transferred (or the estimated fair values of the assets received, if more clearly evident) are used to establish their recorded values. Valuation techniques consistent with the market approach, income approach and/or cost approach are used to measure fair value.

Purchased intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their economic lives of four to nine years for developed technology, and eight years for capitalized development costs as we believe this method most closely reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the assets will be consumed. When the carrying value is not considered recoverable, an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying value of an intangible asset exceeds its fair value is recognized, with an offsetting reduction in the carrying value of the related intangible asset. If our future results are significantly different from forecast, we may be required to further evaluate intangible assets for recoverability and such analysis could result in an impairment charge in a future period.

Impairment of Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets

Other indefinite-lived assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis at December 31, or more frequently if we believe indicators of impairment exist. Triggering events for impairment reviews may be indicators such as adverse industry or economic trends, restructuring actions, lower projections of profitability, or a sustained decline in our market capitalization. Other indefinite-lived intangible assets are quantitatively assessed for impairment, if necessary, by comparing their estimated fair values to their carrying values. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the difference is recorded as an impairment.

Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Our consideration includes, but is not limited to, (i) significant under-performance relative to historical or projected future operating results; (ii) significant changes in the manner of use of the assets or the strategy for the Company's overall business; (iii) significant decrease in the market value of the assets; and (iv) significant negative industry or economic trends.

When the carrying value is not considered recoverable, an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying value of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value is recognized, with an offsetting reduction in the carrying value of the related asset.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from sales of products is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, collectability is reasonably assured and delivery has occurred. Under this policy, revenue on direct product sales, excluding sales to distributors, is recognized upon shipment of products to customers. These customers are not entitled to any specific right of return or price protection, except for any defective product that may be returned under our standard product warranty.

Generally, title and risk of loss transfer to the customer when the product leaves the Company's dock. Product sales to distribution customers are subject to certain rights of return, stock rotation privileges and price protection. Because we are unable to estimate its exposure for returned product or price adjustments, revenue from shipments to these customers is not recognized until the related products are in turn sold to the ultimate customer by the distributor. For products for which software is more than an incidental component, we recognize revenue in accordance with current authoritative guidance for software revenue recognition.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development expenses include payroll, employee benefits, stock-based compensation expense, and other headcount-related expenses associated with product development. Research and development expenses also include third-party development and programming costs, localization costs incurred to translate software for international markets, and the amortization of purchased software code and services content. Such costs related to software development are included in research and development expense until the point that technological feasibility is reached, which for our software products, is generally shortly before the products are released to manufacturing. Once technological feasibility is reached, such costs are capitalized and amortized to cost of revenue over the estimated lives of the products. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company capitalized $0.6 million and $44,000 of development costs.

6

---

Share-based Compensation

We account for share-based awards, and similar equity instruments, granted to employees and non-employee directors under the fair value method. Share-based compensation award types include stock options. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of its option awards on the measurement date, which generally is the date of grant. The cost is recognized over the requisite service period (usually the vesting period) for the estimated number of instruments for which service is expected to be rendered.

Compensation expense associated with options with graded vesting is recognized pursuant to an accelerated method. Compensation expense associated with restricted stock is recognized over the vesting period using the straight-line method. We have not recognized, and do not expect to recognize in the near future, any tax benefit related to share-based compensation cost as a result of the full valuation allowance of our net deferred tax assets and its net operating loss carryforwards.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. If not discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern. ASU 2014-15 provides that in connection with preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, an entity's management should evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). ASU 2014-15 will be effective for the annual reporting period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as a result of the adoption of ASU 2014-15 has not yet been determined.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive model for accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as a result of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 has not yet been determined.

In July 2013, the FASB, issued ASU No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. ASU No. 2013-11 provides that an entity is required to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. If a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. ASU No. 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this guidance affected presentation only and, therefore, did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial results.

NOTE 3 — INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The following table summarizes purchased intangible assets (in thousands):

Amortization expense of intangible assets was $13,000 and $1,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively. Estimated amortization expense for intangible assets is approximately $2.9 million for the remainder of 2014 and $4.8 million, $4.7 million, $4.7 million, $1.4 million and $0.3 million in fiscal 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively.

Asset Purchase

On March 21, 2014, the Company closed an Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire Virtual Desktop Implementation (“VDI”) technology of V3 Systems, Inc. On closing, the purchase price for the acquired assets of V3 Systems was $14.4 million, which was paid by way of cash in the amount of $4.2 million and by the issuance of 1,089,867 common shares at $5.92. In addition, the Company may pay an earn-out, based on the achievement of certain milestones in revenue and gross margin related to the VDI technology, of up to an additional $5.0 million. The estimated earn-out liability was $3.7 million as of March 21, 2014. The earn-out is based on a sliding scale of revenue of up to $12.5 million from the VDI technology (subject to minimum margin realization), which will be payable at the discretion of Sphere 3D in cash or common shares (up to a maximum of 1,051,414 common shares) to be priced at a 20-day weighted average price calculated at the time(s) the earn-out is realized. The earn-out period expires on June 21, 2015.

The identified intangible assets as of the date of the purchase agreement consisted of $14.4 million of developed technology with a useful life of four years.

NOTE 4 — DEBT

Convertible Notes

In March 2014, the Company issued a senior secured convertible debenture for $5.0 million. Simple interest is payable, in cash or stock, at the Company’s discretion, semi-annually at an annual rate of 8%. The note is convertible into common shares of the Company, at any time, at the option of the holders, at a conversion rate of $7.50 per share, with a maturity date of March 21, 2018.

The Company has the option to pay accrued and outstanding interest either entirely in cash or shares of common stock. If the Company choses to pay the interest in common stock, the calculation is based upon the number of shares of common stock that may be issued as payment of interest on the debenture and will be determined by dividing the amount of interest due by current market price as defined in the debenture agreement, which is the weighted average price per common share for the last 10 days on which the common shares traded, ending on the day before such date, on the exchange. Interest expense was $12,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

The debenture contains customary covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict the Company's ability to incur liens, incur indebtedness, or make certain restricted payments. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the debenture, the holder may declare all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable. The debenture specifies a number of events of default (some of which are subject to applicable grace or cure periods), including, among other things, non-payment defaults, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other materials indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults and material judgment defaults. As of March 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all covenants of the debenture.

NOTE 5 — SHARE CAPITAL

Issued and Outstanding

The Company had the following share capital issuance activity (in thousands):

NOTE 6 — NET LOSS PER SHARE

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Dilutive common stock equivalents are comprised of options granted under the Company's stock option plan, common stock purchase warrants, and convertible notes. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding due to the Company's net loss position.

Anti-dilutive common stock equivalents excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share were as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 7 — SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Share-Based Compensation Expense

The Company recorded the following compensation expense related to its share-based compensation awards (in thousands):

There was $0.2 million and zero of share-based compensation capitalized as development costs for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

NOTE 8 — RELATED PARTY

In July 2013, the Company entered into a supply agreement, and a technology license agreement, with Overland. As consideration for the transactions contemplated by the technology license agreement, the Company received $250,000 in cash and shares of common stock with a value at the time of issuance of approximately $250,000.

In connection with the July 2013 Overland transaction, Eric Kelly, formerly Overland's President and Chief Executive Officer, was appointed chairman of the board of directors of Sphere 3D. Mr. Kelly was also awarded an option to purchase up to 850,000 shares of common stock of Sphere 3D with an exercise price of approximately $0.63.

The Company recognized $0.3 million of revenue related to the license agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The Company made purchases of $0.2 million from Overland related to the supply agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2014. Amounts included in other current assets and accounts payable under these agreements was $0.3 million and $26,000 as of March 31, 2014. Amounts included in other current assets and accounts payable under these agreements was $0.4 million and $0.1 million as of December 31, 2013.

Legal services of $0.1 million and 17,000 were provided by a legal firm affiliated with a director of the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, accounts payable included $0.2 million and $20,000 due to related parties.

NOTE 9 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

From time to time, the Company may be involved in various lawsuits, legal proceedings, or claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe any legal proceedings or claims pending at March 31, 2014 will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its business, liquidity, financial position, or results of operations. Litigation, however, is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm the Company's business.

NOTE 10 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Merger Agreement

On May 15, 2014, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with Overland Storage, Inc. (“Overland”), pursuant to which Overland and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sphere 3D would combine (the “Transaction”). After completion of the Transaction, it is expected that current holders of Overland securities will own approximately 28.8% of Sphere 3D, on a fully diluted basis, as a result of their exchange of securities in the Transaction.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company issued a total of 9,443,882 common shares (“Common Shares”) on closing, subject to adjustment, for all of the outstanding share capital of Overland (“Overland Shares”) on the basis of one Overland Share for 0.510594 Common Shares of Sphere 3D (the “Exchange Ratio”). In addition, Sphere 3D issued 1,467,906 warrants, 143,325 options and 505,321 restricted share units, or equivalents, in exchange for the outstanding convertible securities of Overland, calculated on the basis of the Exchange Ratio.

On May 14, 2014, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the transaction, the closing price of the Overland Shares, on the NASDAQ, was $2.90 and the closing price of the Common Shares of Sphere 3D, on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”), was C$9.46 (or $8.68) . Based on the closing price of the Common Shares of Sphere 3D on May 14, 2014, the total consideration payable to holders of Overland shareholders has an implied value of approximately $81.13 million or approximately $4.43 per Overland Share.

Both companies’ boards of directors have unanimously approved the Merger Agreement. The Transaction is subject customary closing conditions, shareholder approval of Overland and receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSXV.

The completion of the financing described below is integral to the consummation of the Merger Agreement. A minimum of $5 million of the financing will used to cover advances to Overland as contemplated by the Merger Agreement. In addition, subject to further board approval, the Company may advance further funds to support Overland’s working capital requirements. To date the Company has advanced Overland $4.0 million under a secured promissory note, repayable on May 15, 2018 and bearing interest at prime plus 2%.

The Company has been named as a defendant in actions that arose as a result of the announcement of the agreement to merge with Overland Storage, Inc. With respect to these matters, based on the management’s current knowledge, the Company believes that the amount or range of reasonable possible loss, if any, will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company has entered into an agreement with a syndicate of investment dealers led by Cormark Securities Inc., and including Jacob Securities Inc. and Paradigm Capital Inc. (collectively, the “Underwriters”) pursuant to which the Underwriters have agreed to purchase, on a bought deal basis, 1,176,500 special warrants of the Company (“Special Warrants”) at a price of $8.50 per Special Warrants (the “Issue Price”), resulting in gross proceeds of $9.4 million to the Company (the “Offering”). Each Special Warrant is exercisable into one unit of the Company (a “Unit”) with each Unit being comprised of one Common Share of the Company and one-half of a Common Share purchase warrant of the Company (a “Warrant”). Each whole Warrant is exercisable at an exercise price of $10.40 for a period of two years from the closing date.

The Underwriters will have the option (the “Underwriters’ Option”) to arrange for the purchase of up to an additional 15% of Special Warrants (being up to 176,475 Special Warrants) sold under the Offering at the Issue Price. The Underwriters’ Option shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, until the time of closing. The Underwriters shall be entitled to the same commission provided for below in respect of any Special Warrants issued and sold upon exercise of the Underwriters’ Option.

The Underwriters are entitled to receive a cash commission equal to 6% of the gross proceeds of the Offering. The Company will also reimburse the Underwriters for reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Offering.

---

The Offering is scheduled to close on or before June 3, 2014. All securities issued in connection with the Offering are subject to a four-month hold period from the issuance date in accordance with the policies of the TSXV and applicable Canadian securities laws. The Offering is subject to all required regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSXV.

NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

General

Sphere 3D is a technology company that delivers solutions that streamline and simplify computing life. The Company’s technology enhances the user experience of both legacy and current applications and empowers users to gain access to these applications from devices of their choosing.

Over the last five years, Sphere 3D has designed a proprietary platform, namely Glassware 2.0™, for the delivery of applications from a server-based computing architecture. The Company has taken a unique approach in that it has built its technology platform without the use of a hypervisor and instead has designed its own microvisor. One of the benefits of this approach is the ability to deliver multiple application sessions on either a single server or through clusters of servers without the requirement to deliver complete virtual desktop infrastructure. Through Glassware 2.0™, the process for “porting” and “publishing” applications is streamlined to the point that its practically automated, requiring very little administration input.

On March 21, 2014, the Company acquired the Virtual Desktop Infrastructure technology (“VDI technology”) of V3 Systems, Inc. including the Desktop Cloud Orchestrator® virtualization management software which allows administrators to manage local, cloud hosted, or hybrid virtual desktop deployments as well as the V3 Appliances; a series of purpose-built, compact, efficient and easy-to-manage servers.

The Company’s Glassware 2.0™ architecture and unique “application only” virtualization, coupled with complementary software from its acquisition of the VDI technology, enables the Company and its partners to deliver unmatched flexibility within the industry and a wide array of deployment options.

Since inception, the Company has invested the majority of its capital in the design, development and testing of its technology, with the majority of employees and financial resources allocated to such functions. In 2014, the Company has transitioned its focus from entirely a research and design organization to a commercial enterprise, through an increased investment in sales and marketing resources.

Sales and Marketing

The Company intends to focus the majority of sales efforts through an indirect sales channel in order to achieve the greatest possible impact with the least possible start-up costs. This indirect channel includes licensees, resellers, independent software vendors (“ISVs”) and systems integrators.

The Company’s software is delivered through a Software as a Service (“SaaS”) model with maintenance to end-user customers included as well as under a perpetual license.

In establishing prices for the Company’s products, the Company considers the value of the products and solutions in comparison to other industry virtualization and hardware solutions and strives to deliver the lowest total cost of ownership where possible.

Having just recently commenced marketing efforts, the Company intends to invest throughout 2014 on communicating the benefits of Glassware 2.0™ while training Company licensees, resellers, ISVs as well as educating the media and industry analysts about the unique value proposition associated with deploying the Company’s technology as a virtualization platform.

Subsequent Event

On May 15, 2014, the Company signed an Agreement to acquire all the securities of Overland Storage, Inc. through the merger of Overland with a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The acquisition is the culmination of the ongoing expansion of the relationship between Sphere 3D and Overland, which had included expanding the existing supply and license agreements to include V3 appliances, DCO and collaboration on additional IP creation. Overland’s completed purchase of Tandberg Data in Q1 2014 gives Sphere 3D access to a combined channel of over 19,000 resellers, multiple distributers and OEMs as well as a customer install base that exceeds 1,000,000 units.

To support the acquisition of Overland Storage, the Company signed a $9.4 million bought deal financing with a syndicate of investment firms lead by Cormark Securities, and including Jacob Securities and Paradigm Capital. The financing closed on June 6.

Proprietary Protection

Sphere 3D has designed and maintains its virtualization platform. The Company will be relying on a combination of patents, trademarks, trade secret and copyright laws, as well as contractual restrictions, to protect the proprietary aspects of its products and services. Although every effort is made to protect Sphere 3D’s intellectual property, these legal protections may only afford limited protection. Sphere 3D intends to continue to selectively pursue patenting of further technology developed in the future.

Sphere 3D has filed, or obtained through its acquisition of the VDI technology, the following patents in the United States, each of which is pending registration:

	13/175,766	Intermediation of hypervisor file system and storage device models
	13/175,771	Virtual Machine Allocation internal and external to physical environment
	13/250,836	Migration of Virtual Machine Pool
	13/741,884	Systems and Methods of Optimizing Resources for Emulation
	13/742,585	Systems and Methods of Managing Access to Remote Resources
	13/742,632	Systems and Methods for Managing Emulation Sessions
	61/806,048	Systems and Methods for Providing an Emulator
	61/806,054	Systems and Methods for Managing Emulation Resources

---

61/806,059

Systems and Methods for Accessing Remote Resources for Emulation

Sphere 3D has filed the following patents in Canada, each of which is pending registration:

	2,764,283	Mobile Device Control Application for Improved Security and Diagnostics
	2,764,354	Host-Emulator Bridge System and Method
	2,764,362	RDP Session Monitor/Control System and Application

Sphere 3D has acquired the following PCT patent applications:

	12/27007	Migration of virtual machine pool
	12/27010	Automated adjustment of cluster policy
	12/43187	Virtual Machine Allocation internal and external to physical environment
	12/43183	Intermediation of hypervisor file system and storage device models

Sphere 3D has filed the following trademarks in Canada:

	1600132	GLASSWARE 2.0
	1615670	SPHERE 3D
	1617275	ANY APP, ANY DEVICE, ANYTIME

Sphere 3D has acquired the following trademarks in the US:

	4,086,758	V3
	4,135,466	V3 (a stylized version)
	4,288,340	V3 Desktop Cloud Orchestrator

Sphere 3D may continue to file for patents regarding aspects of its platform, services and delivery method at a later date depending on the costs and timing associated with filing. The Company may make investments to further strengthen its copyright protection going forward, although no assurances can be given that it will be successful in such patent and trademark protection endeavours. Sphere 3D seeks to limit disclosure of its intellectual property by requiring employees, consultants, and partners with access to its proprietary platform and information to execute confidentiality agreements and non-competition agreements and by restricting access to Sphere 3D proprietary information. Due to rapid technological change, Sphere 3D believes that factors such as the expertise and technological and creative skills of our personnel, new services and enhancements to our existing services are more important to establish and maintain an industry and technology advantage than other available legal protections

Despite Sphere 3D's efforts to protect its proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of its services or to obtain and use information that Sphere 3D regards as proprietary. The laws of many countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States or Canada. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce Sphere 3D's intellectual property rights, to protect Sphere 3D's trade secrets, to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others or to defend against claims of infringement. Any such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could have a material adverse effect on Sphere 3D's business, operating results and financial condition. There can be no assurance that Sphere 3D's means of protecting its proprietary rights will be adequate or that our competitors will not independently develop similar services or products. Any failure by Sphere 3D to adequately protect its intellectual property could have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results and financial condition.

Results of Operations

With first sales of the Company’s Glassware 2.0 technology, V3 appliances and DCO software, the Company has moved from a development stage enterprise into full commercialization. This has provided revenue from hardware, software and software licensing.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company incurred Cost of goods sold and operating costs of $1,748,000 compared to $642,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $393,000 compared to $NIL for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The costs relate to hardware, licenses and support costs incurred to generate the revenue. There were no cost of sales related to the recognition of licensing fees; which creates higher gross margins than those that may be recognized in the future.

The Company has met the US GAAP requirements for the deferral of development expenses and during the three months ended March 31, 2014 capitalized $647,000 in development costs compared to $45,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Research and development costs for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were at a comparable level which results in the appearance of a reduction in the growth of ongoing expenses on a comparative basis.

Salaries and consulting for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $984,000 compared to $391,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The Company expanded its staff, during the first quarter of 2014, with additions in sales, marketing and support and expects to add additional staff in sales, marketing and research & development throughout fiscal 2014.

Professional fees for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $45,000 compared to $78,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. On an ongoing basis, Professional fees mainly relate to legal and audit fees, however during the first quarter of 2013 the Company incurred a significant charge related to recruiting as it acquired additional development staff.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $145,000 compared to $82,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in general and administrative expenses, during the first quarter of 2014, was mainly the result of the Company’s involvement in Tradeshows to promote its products. We expect to continue to see growth in these expenses throughout fiscal 2014.

Regulatory costs for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $53,000 compared to $32,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The Company began trading on the OTC-QX in October of 2013 which resulted in higher listing and maintenance fees. The Company has applied for a listing on the NASDAQ which is expected to be approved in the second quarter of 2014. The move to NASDAQ will increase regulatory costs going forward.

Financial and non-operating income during the three months ended March 31, 2014 decreased to $(11,000) compared to $1,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease was mainly the result of an increase in interest expense and a holding loss on investments offset by the strengthening of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar at the end of the quarter which resulted in an unrealized foreign exchange gain.

The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $778,000 or $0.04 per share compared with a net loss in 2013 of $640,000 or $0.04 per share.

Sphere 3D's cash position increased during the three months ended March 31, 2014 by $1,244,000 compared to a decrease of $603,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Operating activities required cash of $283,000 (2013 - $652,000), after adjustments for non-cash items and changes in other working capital balances. Investing activities required cash of $4,658,000 (2013 - $71,000), mostly related to the acquisition of the VDI technology, the development of Sphere 3D’s technology and the acquisition of property and equipment to support Sphere 3D’s ongoing development work. Sphere 3D received net cash of $6,183,000 (2013 - $148,000), after issue costs, from the closing of its debenture financing and the exercise of warrants and options.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. If not discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern. ASU 2014-15 provides that in connection with preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, an entity's management should evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). ASU 2014-15 will be effective for the annual reporting period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as a result of the adoption of ASU 2014-15 has not yet been determined.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive model for accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as a result of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 has not yet been determined.

In July 2013, the FASB, issued ASU No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. ASU No. 2013-11 provides that an entity is required to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. If a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. ASU No. 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this guidance affected presentation only and, therefore, did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial results.

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND INTERNAL REPORTING

The Company has evaluated its internal controls over financial reporting and believes that as at December 31, 2013, its system of internal controls over financial reporting as defined under NI 52-109 is sufficiently designed and maintained to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with the Company's GAAP.

Certain weaknesses in its system are apparent. These weaknesses arise primarily from the limited number of personnel employed in the accounting and financial reporting areas, a situation that is common in many smaller companies. As a consequence of this situation it is not feasible to achieve the complete segregation of duties.

The Company believes these weaknesses are mitigated by the nature and present levels of activities and transactions within the Company being readily transparent; the active involvement of senior management and the Board of Directors in the affairs of the Company; open lines of communication within the Company and the thorough review of the Company's financial statements by senior management, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and the Company's auditors.

The senior officers will continue to monitor very closely all financial activities of the Company until the Company's budgets and workload will enable the hiring of additional staff for greater segregation. Nevertheless, these mitigating factors cannot eliminate the possibility that a material misstatement may occur as a result of the aforesaid weaknesses in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting. A cost effective system of internal controls over financial reporting, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the internal controls over financial reporting are achieved.

RISK AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS

Risks Related to our Business

Limited Operating History

Sphere 3D is a development stage company which has a limited operating history and limited non-recurring revenues derived from operations. Significant expenditures have been focused on research and development to create the Glassware 2.0 ^™ product offering. Sphere 3D's near-term focus has been in actively developing reference accounts and building sales, marketing and support capabilities. As a result of these and other factors, Sphere 3D may not be able to achieve, sustain or increase profitability on an ongoing basis.

Sphere 3D is subject to many risks common to development stage enterprises, including under-capitalization, cash shortages, limitations with respect to personnel, financial and other resources, lack of revenues, technology, and market acceptance issues. There is no assurance that Sphere 3D will be successful in achieving a return on shareholders' investment and the likelihood of success must be considered in light of Sphere 3D's early stage of operations.

Problems Resulting from Rapid Growth

Sphere 3D will be pursuing, from the outset, a plan to market its platform throughout Canada, the United States and abroad and will require capital in order to meet these growth plans and there can be no assurances that the Corporations capital resources will enable Sphere 3D to meet these growth needs. The plan will place significant demands upon Sphere 3D, management, and resources. Besides attracting and maintaining qualified personnel, employees or contractors, Sphere 3D expects to require working capital and other financial resources to meet the needs of its planned growth. No assurance exists that the plans will be successful or that these items will be satisfactorily handled, and this may have material adverse consequence on the business of Sphere 3D.

---

Additional Financing May be Required

Sphere 3D may need additional financing to continue its operations. Financing may not be available to Sphere 3D on commercially reasonable terms, if at all, when needed. There is no assurance that Sphere 3D will be successful in raising additional capital or that the proceeds of any future financings will be sufficient to meet its future capital needs.

Impact of Competition

The technology industry, including emulation and virtualization software, is very dynamic with new technology and services being introduced by a range of players, from larger established companies to start-ups, on a frequent basis. Newer technology may render Sphere 3D's technology obsolete which would have a material, adverse effect on its business and results of operations. Sphere 3D will be competing with others offering similar products. If Sphere 3D's systems and technology fail to achieve or maintain market acceptance, or if new technologies are introduced by competitors that are more favorably received than Sphere 3D's technology, or are more cost-effective or provide legal exclusivity through patents or are otherwise able to render Sphere 3D's technology obsolete, Sphere 3D will experience a decline in demand which will result in lower sales performance and associated reductions in operating profits all of which would negatively affect stock prices for Sphere 3D.

Information Technology, Network and Data Security Risks

Sphere 3D faces security risks. Any failure to adequately address these risks could have an adverse effect on the business and reputation of Sphere 3D. Computer viruses, break-ins, or other security problems could lead to misappropriation of proprietary information and interruptions, delays, or cessation in service to clients.

Reliance on Third Parties

Sphere 3D relies on certain technology services provided to it by third parties, and there can be no assurance that these third party service providers will be available to Sphere 3D in the future on acceptable commercial terms or at all. If Sphere 3D were to lose one or more of these service providers, it may not be able to replace them in a cost effective manner, or at all. This could harm the business and results of operations of Sphere 3D.

Investment in Technological Innovation

If Sphere 3D fails to invest sufficiently in research and product development, its products could become less attractive to potential clients, which could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition of Sphere 3D.

New Laws or Regulations

A number of laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to mobile phone services covering issues such as user privacy, "indecent" materials, freedom of expression, pricing, content and quality of products and services, taxation, advertising, intellectual property rights and information security. Adoption of any such laws or regulations might impact the ability of Sphere 3D to deliver increasing levels of technological innovation and will likely add to the cost of making its products, which would adversely affect its results of operations.

Retention or Maintenance of Key Personnel

There is no assurance that Sphere 3D can continuously attract, retain or maintain key personnel in a timely manner if the need arises, even though qualified replacements are believed by management to exist. Failure to have adequate personnel may materially harm the ability of Sphere 3D to operate. Sphere 3D considers the services of Peter Tassiopoulos, Chief Executive Officer and John Morelli, who heads the Company’s R&D and technology team, to be key to the operation of Sphere 3D. While there can be no assurances as to the continued retention of these individuals, Sphere 3D believes that they are heavily incentivized through stock ownership, options and other compensation, so that the risk of departure is low.

Conflicts of Interest

Sphere 3D may contract with affiliated parties or other companies or members of management of Sphere 3D or companies whose members of management own, or control. These persons may obtain compensation and other benefits in transactions relating to Sphere 3D. Certain members of management of Sphere 3D will have other minor business activities other than the business of Sphere 3D, but each member of management intends to devote substantially all of their working hours to Sphere 3D. Although management intends to act fairly, there can be no assurance that Sphere 3D will not possibly enter into arrangements under terms one could argue are less favorable than what could have been obtained had Sphere 3D or any other company had been dealing with unrelated persons.

Proprietary Rights Could Be Subject to Suits or Claims

No assurance exists that Sphere 3D or any Company with which it transacts business, can or will be successful in pursuing protection of proprietary rights such as business names, logos, marks, ideas, inventions, and technology which may be acquired over time. In many cases, governmental registrations may not be available or advisable, considering legalities and expense, and even if registrations are obtained, adverse claims or litigation could occur.

Lack of Control in Transactions

Management of Sphere 3D intends to retain other companies to perform various services, but may not be in a position to control or direct the activities of the parties with whom it transacts business. Success of Sphere 3D may be subject to, among other things, the success of such other parties, with each being subject to their own risks.

---

No Guarantee of Success

Sphere 3D, as well as those companies with which it intends to transact business, have significant business purchases, advertising, and operational plans pending and is/are, therefore, subject to various risks and uncertainties as to the outcome of these plans. No guarantee exists that Sphere 3D, or any company with which it transacts business, will be successful.

Possibility of Significant Fluctuations in Operating Results

Sphere 3D's revenues and operating results may fluctuate from quarter to quarter and from year to year due to a combination of factors, including, but not limited to: access to funds for working capital and market acceptance of its services.

Revenues and operating results may also fluctuate based upon the number and extent of potential financing activities in the future. Thus, there can be no assurance that Sphere 3D will be able to reach profitability on a quarterly or annual basis.

Sphere 3D has not arranged for any independent market studies to validate the business plan and no outside party has made available results of market research with respect to the extent to which clients are likely to utilize its service or the probable market demand for its services. Plans of Sphere 3D for implementing its business strategy and achieving profitability are based upon the experience, judgment and assumptions of its key management personnel, and upon available information concerning the communications and technology industries. Management does not have experience in the anti-virus industry. If management's assumptions prove to be incorrect, Sphere 3D will not be successful in establishing its technology business.

Financial, Political or Economic Conditions

Sphere 3D may be subject to additional risks associated with doing business in foreign countries.

Sphere 3D currently operates within Canada, but Sphere 3D expects to do business in the United States and elsewhere in the world. As a result, it may face significant additional risks associated with doing business in other countries. In addition to the language barriers, different presentations of financial information, different business practices, and other cultural differences and barriers, ongoing business risks may result from the international political situation, uncertain legal systems and applications of law, prejudice against foreigners, corrupt practices, uncertain economic policies and potential political and economic instability. In doing business in foreign countries Sphere 3D may also be subject to such risks, including, but not limited to, currency fluctuations, regulatory problems, punitive tariffs, unstable local tax policies, trade embargoes, expropriation, corporate and personal liability for violations of local laws, possible difficulties in collecting accounts receivable, increased costs of doing business in countries with limited infrastructure, and cultural and language differences. Sphere 3D also may face competition from local companies which have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, and broader customer relationships and industry alliances in their local markets, and it may be difficult to operate profitably in some markets as a result of such competition. Foreign economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the Canadian economy in growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, market development, rate of savings, and capital investment, resource self-sufficiency and balance of payments positions, and in other respects.

When doing business in foreign countries, Sphere 3D may be subject to uncertainties with respect to those countries' legal system and application of laws, which may impact its ability to enforce agreements and may expose it to lawsuits.

---

Legal systems in many foreign countries are new, unclear, and continually evolving. There can be no certainty as to the application of laws and regulations in particular instances. Many foreign countries do not have a comprehensive system of laws, and the existing regional and local laws are often in conflict and subject to inconsistent interpretation, implementation and enforcement. New laws and changes to existing laws may occur quickly and sometimes unpredictably. These factors may limit Sphere 3D’s ability to enforce agreements with its current and future clients and vendors. Furthermore, it may expose Sphere 3D to lawsuits by its clients and vendors in which it may not be adequately able to protect itself.

When doing business in foreign countries, Sphere 3D may be unable to fully comply with local and regional laws which may expose it to financial risk.

When doing business in foreign countries, Sphere 3D may be required to comply with informal laws and trade practices imposed by local and regional government administrators. Local taxes and other charges may be levied depending on the local needs to tax revenues, and may not be predictable or evenly applied. These local and regional taxes/charges and governmentally imposed business practices may affect the cost of doing business and may require Sphere 3D to constantly modify its business methods to both comply with these local rules and to lessen the financial impact and operational interference of such policies. In addition, it is often extremely burdensome for businesses operating in foreign countries to comply with some of the local and regional laws and regulations. Any failure on the part of Sphere 3D to maintain compliance with the local laws may result in fines and fees which may substantially impact its cash flow, cause a substantial decrease in revenues, and may affect its ability to continue operation.

Risks Related to Sphere 3D's Intellectual Property

Protection of Sphere 3D's Intellectual Property

Sphere 3D's products utilize a variety of proprietary rights that are important to its competitive position and success. Sphere 3D has filed a number of patent applications and has been protecting its Intellectual Property through trade secrets and copyrights. To date, Sphere has not been granted any definitive patents and because the Intellectual Property associated with the Sphere 3D's technology is evolving and rapidly changing, current intellectual property rights may not adequately protect Sphere 3D. Sphere 3D may not be successful in securing or maintaining proprietary or future patent protection for the technology used in its systems or services, and protection that is secured may be challenged and possibly lost. Sphere 3D generally enters into confidentiality or license agreements, or has confidentiality provisions in agreements with Sphere 3D's employees, consultants, strategic partners and clients and controls access to and distribution of its technology, documentation and other proprietary information. Sphere 3D's inability to protect its Intellectual Property adequately for these and other reasons could result in weakened demand for its systems or services, which would result in a decline in its revenues and profitability.

Third Party Intellectual Property Rights

Sphere 3D could become subject to litigation regarding intellectual property rights that could significantly harm its business. Sphere 3D's commercial success will also depend in part on its ability to make and sell its systems and services without infringing on the patents or proprietary rights of third parties. Competitors, many of whom have substantially greater resources than Sphere 3D and have made significant investments in competing technologies or products, may seek to apply for and obtain patents that will prevent, limit or interfere with Sphere 3D's ability to make or sell Sphere 3D's systems or provide Sphere 3D's services.

Other Risks

Sphere 3D’s Share Price Fluctuations and Speculative Nature of Securities

The price of the Sphere 3D Shares could fluctuate substantially and should be considered speculative securities. The price of the Sphere 3D Shares may decline, and the price that prevails in the market may be higher or lower than the price investors pay depending on many factors, some of which are beyond Sphere 3D's control. In addition, the equity markets in general, and the Exchange in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations historically that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. These broad market factors may affect the market price of the Sphere 3D Shares adversely, regardless of its operating performance.

Volatility in the Price of Sphere 3D Shares

The market for the Sphere 3D Shares may be characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and management expects that the share price will be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. Sphere 3D may in the future be a target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management's attention from day-to-day operations and consume resources, such as cash.

Operating results may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, many of which are outside of the control of Sphere 3D. The following factors may affect operating results: ability to compete; ability to attract clients; amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures related to the maintenance and expansion of the business, operations and infrastructure; general economic conditions and those economic conditions specific to the internet; ability to keep web access operational at a reasonable cost and without service interruptions; the success of product expansion; and ability to attract, motivate and retain top-quality employees.

Dividends

Management intends to retain any future earnings to support the development of the business of Sphere 3D and does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of the board of directors of Sphere 3D after taking into account various factors, including but not limited to the financial condition, operating results, cash needs, growth plans and the terms of any credit agreements that Sphere 3D may be a party to at the time. Accordingly, investors must rely on sales of their Sphere 3D Shares after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize a return on their investment. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase Sphere 3D Shares.
