SPHERE 3D CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

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.

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.

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.

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.

6


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 nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, $1.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of development costs were capitalized.

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.

7


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 present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, in the financial statements as a reduction to 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-is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of 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):

    September 30,     December 31,  
    2014     2013  
Developed technology $  14,384   $  —  
Capitalized development costs   3,192     1,670  
    17,576     1,670  
Accumulated amortization            
     Developed technology   (1,837 )    
     Capitalized development costs   (328 )   (24 )
Total intangible assets, net $  15,411   $  1,646  

Amortization expense of intangible assets was $1.0 million and $1,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Amortization expense of intangible assets was $2.1 million and $3,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Estimated amortization expense for intangible assets is approximately $0.8 million for the remainder of fiscal 2014 and $4.3 million, $4.2 million, $4.2 million, $1.3 million and $0.4 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 $3.6 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 - Related Party

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 $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 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 September 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all covenants of the debenture.

The Company was informed by the Ontario Security Commission (“OSC”) that, due to the fact that (i) the short form prospectus, issued in connection to the Special Warrants, is the first prospectus filing by the Company post-Qualifying Transaction, and (ii) the materiality of the transaction with Overland, the OSC has taken the position that it will be reviewed under the long-form prospectus timing guidelines, as such, the Company was unable to file the final Prospectus by July 31, 2014, meaning that the Special Warrants will be convertible to 1.05 units per Special Warrant upon the filing of the final Prospectus creating 1,235,325 Special warrants.

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.

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 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. As payments under the supply agreement, Sphere 3D issued common shares with a value as of the date of issuance equal to approximately $0.5 million to Overland during each of the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

In September 2014, the Company entered into a commercial relationship with a third party customer to sell a license to its Glassware product. The customer required that the Glassware product be provided through one of its preapproved distribution partners. The Company did not have a relationship with such distribution partner and in order to facilitate such transaction on a timely basis, Sphere 3D and Overland agreed that Overland would purchase the Glassware product from Sphere 3D and resell it to the distribution partner, with whom Overland had a preexisting relationship.

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 $0.5 million and zero in revenue related to the agreements during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company recognized $0.8 million and zero in revenue related to the agreements during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company made purchases of $0.6 million and zero from Overland related to the supply agreement during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company made purchases of $1.3 million and zero from Overland related to the supply agreement during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Amounts included in accounts receivable, other current assets and accounts payable under these agreements was $0.3 million, $0.5 million and $0.3 million as of September 30, 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.

On May 15, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to loan Overland $5.0 million to support its working capital requirements, which was amended and restated on September 8, 2014 to increase the principal amount under the note to the greater of the amount actually loaned to Overland and $10 million. The loan bears interest at the published prime rate (as defined in the agreement) plus 2% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears on November 15 and May 15 of each year. The loan is secured by a Promissory Note, repayable on May 15, 2018, and a security agreement, dated May 15, 2014, providing subordinated collateral security over Overland’s inventory and holdings of common shares of Sphere 3D. The Company recognized $0.1 million in interest income from a promissory note from Overland during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. Amounts included in other current assets for interest receivable were $0.1 million at September 30, 2014.

Legal services of 0.1 million and $42,000 were provided by a legal firm affiliated with a director of the Company during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Legal services of 0.3 million and $0.1 million were provided by a legal firm affiliated with a director of the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, accounts payable included $0.2 million, for each period, 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 September 30, 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.

Proposed Merger

In May 2014, the Company announced that it had signed an agreement and plan of merger by and among the Company and Sphere 3D. Since the merger was announced, four separate putative shareholder class action lawsuits were filed against the Company, all of its directors, and Sphere 3D in the California Superior Court in and for the County of San Diego. Three of the lawsuits also named Cyrus Capital Partners, the majority shareholder of the Company, as a defendant. On June 25, 2014, the Superior Court entered an order providing for the consolidation of all cases relating to the Company's decision to enter into the merger agreement with Sphere 3D. These cases have been consolidated before a single judge and are referred to as In re Overland Storage Inc., Shareholders Litigation, Lead Case No. 37-2014-00016017-CU-SL-CTL. On July 30, 2014, the plaintiffs filed their consolidated amended complaint. The lawsuit alleges breaches of fiduciary duties and conflicts of interest against the Company's directors relating to the merger process, the terms of the merger agreement, and the consideration to be received by Company shareholders under the terms of the merger agreement. The lawsuit alleges that the other defendants aided and abetted the purported breaches of fiduciary duties by the Company's directors. The relief sought includes an injunction prohibiting the consummation of the proposed merger, rescission of the merger to the extent already implemented or rescissory damages, damages, and an award of attorneys' fees and costs.

On October 13, 2014, the plaintiffs and the Company Defendants entered into a memorandum of understanding (the “Memorandum of Understanding”) to settle the Consolidated Action and Merger Actions. The Memorandum of Understanding provides, among other things, that additional disclosures would be made concerning the analysis performed by the Company’s financial advisor relating to the proposed merger, the Company’s management projections, and the circumstances leading up to the proposed merger.

While the Company believes that the lawsuits are without merit, and the Company specifically denies the allegations made in the lawsuits and maintains that it and the other defendants committed no wrongdoing whatsoever, to permit the timely consummation of the proposed merger, and without admitting the validity of any allegations made in the lawsuits, the Company concluded that it is desirable that the Consolidated Action and Merger Actions be resolved. The proposed settlement of the Consolidated Action and Merger Actions, which is subject to confirmatory discovery and court approval, provides for the release of all claims against the defendants relating to the proposed merger and the allegations in the Consolidated Action and Merger Actions. There can be no assurance that the settlement will be finalized or that the Superior Court will approve the settlement.

NOTE 10 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 6, 2014, the Company issued 1,235,325 common shares of the Company and 617,663 common share purchase warrants of the Company upon exercise of 1,176,500 special warrants. Each common share purchase warrant is exercisable at an exercise price of $9.89 per share for a period of two years from June 5, 2014.

On October 14, 2014, the Company and Overland executed an amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger Agreement dated May 15, 2014 (the "Merger Agreement") to reduce the exchange ratio from 0.510594 common shares of the Company for each share of Overland common stock to 0.46385 common shares of the Company for each share of Overland common stock.

On October 17, 2014, the Company received a partial repayment of the related party promissory note in the amount of $2.5 million. Under the terms of the repayment, the Company has committed to convert an equivalent amount of debt held by Overland into common shares of the Company immediately following closing of the Merger Agreement. The debt will be converted into 333,333 shares of common stock of the Company, at a price of $7.50 per share.

On November 28, 2014, the Shareholders of Overland voted in favor of the Merger Agreement and, as such, the Company expects that the transaction will close the first week of December.

GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUSINESS

Sphere 3D is a technology company that delivers an application virtualization platform aimed at extending the life of software indefinitely. 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.

Through the creation of Glassware 2.0, software is made available from a central location irrespective of the device that is accessing the software. Legacy software can be run using Glassware 2.0 even if the operating system and the machine upon which it is run on is no longer sold or supported. Software publishers who invest millions of dollars to write software code can be assured that their software can be utilized for as long as it is required. With Glassware 2.0, new software released by publishers will be driven by new feature sets rather than the next release of the original OS upon which the software was written.

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. This required the Company to design Glassware 2.0 without resorting to layers of OS programming code. With the removal of the OS, Glassware 2.0 did not connect to hardware so additional code was written to access that hardware directly. Glassware 2.0 has a series of different emulators within its design so that any device can access a wide array of applications that sit on top of Glassware 2.0. This process is fundamentally different from other software that approximates the feature sets which management believes results in a quantum leap in functionality and a significant decrease in cost.


One of the additional 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 VDI. Through Glassware 2.0™, the process for “porting” and “publishing” applications is streamlined to the point that it is practically automated, requiring very little administration input.

The Company’s technology eliminates the complexity associated with planning, implementation, licensing and support of virtualization and Cloud migration while expanding the ecosystem of applications available to users. Additionally, Glassware 2.0™ architecture and unique “application only” virtualization, coupled with complementary VDI technology of V3 Systems (as described below), enables the Company and its partners to deliver 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 2013, the Company started to transition its focus from entirely a research and design organization to a commercial enterprise, through an increased investment in sales and marketing resources. In 2014 the company successfully started to generate revenue from the sale of its products.

New Product Introductions

The third quarter has further increased the Company’s product and solutions offerings with:

the launch of Sphere 3D’s “V3” Hyper-Converged solution within Overland’s data management and protection product lines to addressed the Converged Infrastructure solutions market;

   
The introduction of a Glassware 2.0 solution to power Chromebooks and other end points within the education market;
   
the beta launch of the 2.5 update to Sphere 3D’s Desktop Cloud Orchestrator ™ (DCO) software.
   

DCO v2.5 brings a new level of Optimized Desktop Allocation to the table, allowing virtual desktops to intelligently access additional resources, including 3D GPU or allocations of CPU and RAM. Based on policy, DCO v2.5 provides migratory access to virtual desktops which provide enhanced resources on a temporary basis and on demand.

Continued Innovation

Sphere 3D continues on its quest to redefine the boundaries of hardware through its “software defined everything” approach to computing. DLA Piper, on behalf of the Company, filed a provisional patent for the first microvisor runtime environment available on a chip. The latest IP creation is a culmination of years of miniaturization work with the intent of making Glassware 2.0 completely portable and available offline.

Glassware 2.0 has seen its architecture streamlined and gain efficiency continuously since the first iteration that required 8 individual hardware servers in 2010, to its current production state of availability on a single appliance.

The most recent progress of the Glassware 2.0 single chip architecture allowed Sphere 3D to showcase Glassware 2.0 server technology running on a single laptop for attendees at BriForum in London England, and Boston, as well as at VM World in San Francisco.


Corporate Highlights

Merger Agreement with Overland

On May 16th, 2014, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Overland Storage, Inc. (NASDAQ:OVRL).

Future Developments

Sphere 3D intends to continue to build its organization with a focus on revenue generation, marketing and a continuation of its aggressive technology innovation cycle.


Upon completion of the merger with Overland Storage, the Company will have completed the assembly of an end to end technology stack for business of all sizes:

To support its marketing strategy, Sphere 3D intends to continue to increase its service delivery capacity within the scalable model it has already established, and add selective technology functionality to its platform to enhance specific vertical and/or client offerings.

With the announcement of the Merger Agreement, Sphere 3D and Overland have accelerated their efforts to develop an integrated application virtualization and data storage platform, as well as Converged Infrastructure solutions. It is expected that the combined businesses will accelerate Sphere 3D’s go to market strategy and allow it to leverage Overland’s robust third party reseller and OEM distribution model.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

All of the Company’s product development, sales, and marketing operations were conducted from its offices in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, and since the first quarter of 2014, from various sales offices in the United States.

Market Overview

The market for the Company’s products and services has experienced strong demand and management anticipates that such demand will continue for the foreseeable future.

According to IHS Technology, enterprise businesses moving their IT services, applications and infrastructure to cloud-based architecture will cause market revenue in this segment to surge by a factor of three from 2011 to 2017.1

                                                               
1 IHS: Cloud- Related Spending by Businesses to Triple from 2011 to 2017 – February 4, 2014.


IHS reports “Global business spending for infrastructure and services related to the cloud will reach an estimated $174.2 billion (in 2014), up a hefty 20 percent from $145.2 billion in 2013. By 2017, enterprise spending on the cloud will amount to a projected $235.1 billion, triple the $78.2 billion in 2011.

Within the Cloud market, IDC is predicting that the cloud software market will surpass $75 billion by 2017 attaining a five year compound annual growth rate of 22% in the forecast period2 and according to Gartner, SaaS and cloud-based business application services revenue will grow from $13.5 billion in 2011 to $32.8 billion in 2016, at a compound annual growth rate of 19.5% .3

Wikibon’s research projects rapid market growth for Converged Infrastructure, expecting the total available market to reach $402 billion by 2017 of which $217 billion is comprised of Server, Storage, Networking and Infrastructure Software.

Additional research from IDC anticipates the overall spending on converged systems in the data center to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 54.7 percent, from $2.0 billion in 2011 to $17.8 billion in 2016 and that converged infrastructure will account for 12.8 percent of total storage, server, networking and software spending by 2016, up from only 3.9 percent in 2012.

Over the next 12 months, two additional significant trends are expected to benefit the Company: (i) within the next 12 months more than 50% of enterprises will prioritize building private internal Clouds (currently, the common approach that companies are using is by purchasing commercial software),4 and (ii) Cloud applications will account for 90% of total mobile data traffic by 2018 while Mobile cloud traffic will grow 12-fold from 2013 to 2018, attaining a compound annual growth rate of 64%.5

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, ISVs, OEMs and systems integrators. The Company has access through Overland to a global base of distributers, resellers, ISVs and OEMs.

The Company’s software is delivered through both a SaaS model, with maintenance to end-user customers included and under a perpetual license; if software is sold as a perpetual license, the Company will require end-user customers to purchase maintenance contracts when they purchase software.

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.

Competitive Conditions

Management believes that many of Sphere 3D’s proprietary technologies have designs and architectures that are unique and innovative. While some of our competitors appear to have similar product offerings, management believes that Sphere 3D’s products represent a significant advance in terms of functionality and usability.

Proprietary Protection

Sphere 3D has designed and maintains its virtualization platform, converged infrastructure technology, and related software. 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 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 such filings. 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.

SEGEMENTED INFORMATION

The Company’s product development, sales, and marketing operations are conducted from its offices in North America. The Company’s operations focus on one market segment, Cloud Computing and Virtualization, including the development, and sale of Sphere 3D’s “Glassware 2.0™” virtualization platform, the V3 Desktop Cloud Orchestrator ™ management software and Hyper-Converged Infrastructure.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful supplemental information as an indication of the results generated by the Company’s main business activities prior to taking into consideration how those activities are financed and taxed and also prior to taking into consideration share-based payment expense and the other items listed above. Accordingly, we believe that these measures may also be useful to investors in enhancing their understanding of the Company’s operating performance.

Revenue by Segment

The proportion of the total revenue attributable to each segment is outlined in the following table:

    Three Months ended           Nine Months ended  
    September 30,           September 30,  
In thousands   2014     2013           2014     2013  
    (unaudited)     (unaudited)     (unaudited)     (unaudited)  
         Hardware and Software $  1,294   $       - $     3,033   $  -  
         License fees   25           -     570     -  
         Service and Support   165           -     399     -  
Total $  1,484   $       - $     4,002   $  -  

Hardware and Software revenue in the quarter increased by 7.1% over the second quarter of 2014, while total revenue declined 7.7% due to seasonality, a decline in license fees associated with the Overland Storage initial license fees and the launch of the V3 line of Converged Infrastructure through Overland in the first half of the quarter. Going forward the Company will be able to recognize 100% of the revenue derived through Overland on the sale of Hardware, Software and Services and Support.

The Company anticipates a continued growth in revenue as the Company continues its inroads in the Health, Education and Government sectors and broadens its product offering.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $933,000 and $2,228,000, respectively, providing a gross margin of 37% and 44% respectively.

Stock based compensation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $792,000 and $2,595,000 respectively, compared to $417,000 and $462,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in expenses, was the result of the Company issuing stock options as part of its ongoing hiring and staff retention processes. Charges for Stock based compensation are based on Black Scholes calculations, which result in higher expenses as the market price and the exercise price on the option awards increase.


General and administrative expenses were $887,000 and $1,611,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $183,000 and $503,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Merger agreement costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $532,000 and $854,000 respectively, compared to $Nil for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. The costs related to the announced plan of merger between a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and Overland Storage, Inc. and include legal, accounting and other costs that are expensed.

The net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $3,456,000 or $0.15 per share and $7,285,000 or $0.32 per share, respectively, compared with a net loss in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 of $817,000 or $0.05 per share and $2,008,000 or $0.12 per share, respectively.

Investing activities required cash of $13,512,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $411,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
