NON-GAAP MEASURES AND ADDITIONAL GAAP MEASURES

Throughout this document, reference is made to "Working Capital", "Adjusted EBITDA", and "churn" which are all non-IFRS measures. Management believes that Working Capital is a useful indicator of the Corporation's liquidity and its ability to meet its current obligations. While EBITDA, which is earnings before finance costs including unrealized gains and losses on financial instruments, tax, and depreciation and amortization, is a useful measure, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a more appropriate measure for comparing results from one period to another as Adjusted EBITDA normalizes earnings to exclude certain non-operating, non-cash, and extraordinary amounts. All these terms are defined below. Readers are cautioned that these non-IFRS measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Readers are also cautioned not to view these non-IFRS financial measures as an alternative to financial measures calculated in accordance with IFRS.

NON-GAAP MEASURES DEFINITIONS

"Adjusted EBITDA" is a measure of the Corporation's operating profitability. Adjusted EBITDA provides an indication of the results generated by the Corporation's principal business activities prior to how these activities are financed (including mark-to-market movements of the convertible debenture values), assets are depreciated and amortized or how the results are taxed in various jurisdictions, prior to the effect of foreign exchange, other income and expenses, and non-cash share-based payment expense. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent net earnings as calculated in accordance with IFRS.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as follows:

($ Cdn thousands) Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30,
2024 2023 2024 2023
Net income (loss) 419 (195) 109 (1,478)
Plus:
Finance costs 172 211 630 599
Unrealized (gain) loss on convertible debentures (1,075) (193) (1,573) 284
Foreign exchange loss (gain) 3 (2) (3) 19
Share-based payments 5 14 18 48
Other income and expenses (1) 1 (170) (138)
Adjusted EBITDA (477) (164) (989) (665)

"Working Capital" is used by management and the investment community to analyze the operating liquidity available to the Corporation. Working Capital is calculated based on current assets less current liabilities.

ADDITIONAL GAAP MEASURES DEFINITIONS

"Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR)" is the Monthly Recurring Revenue multiplied by twelve.

"Funds Used in Operations" is used by management to analyze the funds generated by the Corporation's principal business activities prior to consideration of working capital, which is primarily made up of highly liquid balances. This balance is reported in the Statements of Cash Flows included in the cash provided by operating activities section.

"Gross Profit" is used by management to analyze overall and segmented operating performance. Gross Profit is not intended to represent an alternative to net earnings or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS. Gross Profit is calculated from the statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and from the segmented information contained in the notes to the financial statements. Gross Profit is defined as revenue less cost of revenue.

"Gross Profit Percentage" is used by management to analyze overall and segmented operating performance. Gross Profit Percentage is calculated from the statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and from the segmented information in the notes to the financial statements. Gross Profit Percentage is defined as Gross Profit divided by revenue.

"Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR)" is the aggregate of a given month's recurring fees charged to clients.

"Subscription Revenue" consists of monthly recurring fees charged to clients for access to operate the Platform, software updates, new features and technical support.

"Enterprise Revenue" consists of monthly recurring fees charged to larger more established clients for access to operate the Platform, software updates, new features and technical support for the Corporations DealFlow Core product.

"Investment Services Revenue" consists of fees charged to clients on qualifying services and/or transactions processed through Katipult's Platform. While this revenue is expected to be recurring in nature, it will vary in size and timing as it is based on the volume and characteristics of the transactions processed.

"Integration Revenue" are charges to clients for services that are viewed by the Corporation to be one-time in nature and to new clients for the provision of regulatory consulting services, and marketing and customization services. The charges vary depending on the amount and complexity of the work involved and the nature of the client's needs.

Revenue

When compared to the same period in 2023, subscription revenue for the three- and nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 has decreased 68.3% and 27.2% due to a non-recurring change in the subscription terms of enterprise client and the churn of mostly smaller customers. Enterprise client revenue was $138 and $1,001 for the three- and nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 (2023: $610 and $1,410).

During the three- and nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, there was change in the subscription terms of an enterprise client, which resulted in a one-time non-recurring decrease of $256 (2023: $nil) in the recognized subscription revenue. Excluding the one-time adjustment, the subscription revenue for the three- and nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 would have been $474 and $1,372.

In 2021 the Corporation launched a new revenue stream for providing investment transaction services. This revenue stream is the result of fees charged to clients on qualifying services and/or transactions processed through Katipult's Platform. This revenue will vary in size and timing as it is based on the volume and characteristics of the transactions processed. The Corporation reported investment services revenue of $14 and $41 for the three- and nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 (2023: $26 and $93).

Integration revenue is non-recurring and fluctuates from quarter-to-quarter as it is dependent on the number of new customers brought on in the quarter, and the level of the client's understanding of regulatory requirements, the level of customer-facing customization required and issues needing to be addressed to make the client ready to onboard. The Corporation reported $nil integration revenue for the three- and nine-month period September 30, 2024 (2023: $7 and $26).

Gross Profit

The gross profit percentage was 56.9% and 76.4% for the three- and nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 (2023: 84.0% and 82.9%). The lower margin is due to the one-time, non-recurring change in the subscription revenue and high support costs required in supporting more sophisticated clients.

Adjusted EBITDA and Net Income

Adjusted EBITDA losses were $477 and $989 respectively for the three- and nine-month period September 30, 2024 (2023: $164 and 665). The increased loss is due to the one-time, non-recurring change discussed earlier.

The Corporation reported a net income and comprehensive income of $419 and $109 for the three- and nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 (2023: net loss $195 and $1,478). The increased income is due in large part to the non-cash revaluation of the 2018 Debentures, partially offset by higher non-cash finance costs from the accretion of the 2021 Debenture.

THIRD QUARTER 2024 HIGHLIGHTS

Katipult Appoints Beth Shaw as Chief Executive Officer

On October 25, 2024, Katipult announced the appointment of Ms. Shaw as its new Chief Executive Officer. Together, with the appointment of Ms. Shaw, Katipult also announced the resignation of its former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman.

OUTLOOK

This Outlook and Guidance contains forward-looking statements that the Corporation does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update, except as required by law. The forward-looking information and statements include:

  • The current economic climate and its effect on the Corporation's client base business;
  • The Corporation's ability to successfully acquire new customers;
  • The Corporation's ability to successfully implement its technology;
  • Management's assumptions regarding the sustainability of recurring revenue streams and the Corporation's expected profitability; and
  • The Corporation's ability to repay its debt obligations, raise additional funds, and fund operations.

Katipult is continuing to progress in enhancing and expanding functionality in its core DealFlow product; however, the Corporation has not yet been able to generate the sales volumes required to create positive cash flows from operating activities. The Corporation has incurred operating losses since inception and has historically relied on equity and debt financings to fund its operating losses. While the Corporation has previously been successful in raising external capital to fund its operations, there is no guarantee it will be successful in its efforts to raise additional financing; or if financing is available, that it will be on terms that are acceptable to the Corporation.

Due to these factors, there is material uncertainty that casts doubt on the Corporation's ability to continue as a going concern.

During the three- and nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, there was change in the subscription terms of an enterprise client, which resulted in a one-time non-recurring decrease of $256 (2023: $nil) in the recognized subscription revenue. Excluding the one-time adjustment, the subscription revenue for the three- and nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 would have been $474 and $1,372.

In 2021 the Corporation launched a new revenue stream for providing investment transaction services. This revenue stream is the result of fees charged to clients on qualifying services and/or transactions processed through Katipult's Platform. This revenue will vary in size and timing as it is based on the volume and characteristics of the transactions processed. The Corporation reported investment services revenue of $14 and $41 for the three- and nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 (2023: $26 and $93).

Integration revenue is non-recurring and fluctuates from quarter-to-quarter as it is dependent on the number of new customers brought on in the quarter, and the level of the client's understanding of regulatory requirements, the level of customer-facing customization required and issues needing to be addressed to make the client ready to onboard. The Corporation reported $nil integration revenue for the three- and nine-month period September 30, 2024 (2023: $7 and $26).

SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE

($ Cdn thousands) Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30,

Bad debt (recovery) expense 6 4 29 (3)
Share-based payments 5 14 18 48
Selling, general, and administrative 406 574 1,351 1,525

For the three- and nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses before share-based payments and bad debt expenses decreased when compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease is driven by lower staffing costs and lower professional fees.

For the three- and nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, the Corporation expensed $6 and $29 (2023: expense of $4 and recovery of $3) due to delays in the collection from two non-enterprise clients.

Included in SG&A expenses is a share-based payment expense of $5 and $18 for the three- and nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, the expense is lower due to forfeiture of unvested options and the vesting timing of stock options (2023: $14 and $48).

2024 2023 2024 2023
Research and development 208 210 631 694

Research and development ("R&D") expenses are lower compared to the prior year comparative period due to lower labour costs.

2024 2023 2024 2023
Foreign exchange loss (gain) 3 (2) (3) 19

Foreign exchange gains and losses are the result of foreign currency fluctuations during the period and the timing of when items are settled. Foreign exchange gains and losses fluctuate primarily in relation to changes in the US/Canadian and Euro/Canadian exchange rate, which have been less significant in 2024.

Finance costs 172 211 630 599
Unrealized (gain) loss on 2018 Debentures (1,075) (193) (1,573) 284

Finance costs decreased for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024, but increased for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in the prior year mainly due to decreased interest on the 2018 Debentures and increased accretion on 2021 Convertible Debentures. The 2018 Debentures are hybrid contracts with multiple embedded derivatives. The Corporation has measured the entire hybrid contract at fair value with adjustments recorded in profit or loss.

In the second quarter of 2024, the Corporation entered into a secured promissory note. The accrued interest is payable upon maturity.


kaCipult

Powering Capital. Simply.

The interest on the 2018 Debentures is due to the compounding nature of the accrued interest. Interest will not accrue during the grace period from April 15, 2024 until November 30, 2024. The interest is a non-cash item prior to maturity.

In the first quarter of 2021, the Corporation issued the 2021 Debenture which results in the ongoing recognition of a non-cash accretion expense.

Other interest and charges are related to accretion on the Canadian Emergency Business Account ("CEBA") loan.

Adjusted EBITDA losses were $477 and $989 respectively for the three- and nine-month period September 30, 2024 (2023: $164 and 665). The increased loss is due to a non-recurring change in the subscription terms of enterprise client of $256.

The Corporation reported a net income and comprehensive income of $419 and $109 for the three- and nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 (2023: net loss $195 and $1,478). The increased income is due in large part to the non-cash revaluation of the 2018 Debentures, partially offset by higher non-cash finance costs from the accretion of the 2021 Debenture.

Funds provided by (used in) operations increased for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024, but decreased for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, compared to the prior comparative period in 2023. This is largely related to the timing of milestone and annual payments from enterprise clients.

The Corporation has convertible debentures and accrued interest with a face value of $8,330 as at September 30, 2024. The convertible debentures will mature in 2026 and 2027 which may be required to be settled in cash (see Convertible Debentures section).

The Corporation announced on July 18, 2024 key changes to 2018 convertible debentures as follows:

  • Term Extension: The maturity date of the Amended Convertible Debentures has been extended to May 30th, 2027.
  • Security: The Amended Convertible Debentures are secured against all the present and after-acquired personal property of the Corporation.
  • Interest: The base interest rate has been reduced from 8.5% to 4%. The Amended Convertible Debentures are subject to interest rate adjustments if the Corporation fails to maintain a cash balance equal to its 12-month burn rate whereby the interest rate increases by 0.5% for each month of inadequate cash balance. The maximum interest rate, which was formerly 12% per annum compounded quarterly, is now adjusted to a maximum of 10% per annum compounded quarterly.
  • Interest Grace Period: Interest will not accrue during the period from April 15, 2024 until November 30, 2024.
  • Conversion Price: The conversion price has been reduced to $0.20 per common share of the Corporation.

The Corporation's ability to continue as a going concern is therefore dependent upon its ability to repay or renegotiate debt repayment terms. The Corporation's 2024 cash flow forecast assumes that it will meet the contractual criteria to invoice for milestone payments under an existing software implementation contract with a major customer, that the Corporation is able to collect receivables from its existing customers on a timely basis.

The Corporation has not yet been able to generate the sales volumes required to create positive cash flows from operating activities. The Corporation has incurred operating losses since inception and has historically relied on equity and debt financings to fund its operating losses. While the Corporation has previously been successful in raising external capital to fund its operations, there is no guarantee it will be successful in its efforts to raise additional financing; or if financing is available, that it will be on terms that are acceptable to the Corporation.

Due to these factors, there is material uncertainty that casts significant doubt on the Corporation's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include necessary adjustments to reflect the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and liabilities and related expenses that might be necessary should the Corporation be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

The Corporation considers the items included in capital to include shareholders' equity (deficiency) and convertible debentures. The Corporation manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic and business conditions, financing environment and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Corporation may issue new shares, new debt, or scale back the size and nature of its operations. The Corporation is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, the Corporation received a secured promissory note ("Note") of $250 from one of holders of 2018 Debentures. The Note will mature at the earlier of (i) August 31, 2024, and (ii) the date that certain accounts receivables are collected. Interest will accrue on the unpaid principal amount at the rate of 15% per annum and be payable on the maturity date. Following the maturity date, interest will accrue at the rate of 25% per annum, such interest will be calculated daily in arrears and payable on demand of the holder.

The Note remained outstanding at August 31, 2024 and therefore the principal amount and accrued interest under this Note and all related obligations, rights and security interests were terminated and discharged, following which the remaining principal amount and accrued interest under this Note were added to the principal amount under the 2018 Debentures.

During the three- and nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, the Corporation recognized $6 and $10 interest (2023: $nil). As at August 31, 2024, the total of $250 principal and $10 accrued interest have been added to the principal amount under the 2018 Debentures.

LOAN PAYABLE

Canadian Emergency Business Account ("CEBA") Loan

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Corporation was approved for repayable financing of a $40 operating line of credit under the government of Canada's CEBA loan program ("CEBA Loan 1"), bearing interest at 0%.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Corporation was approved for repayable financing of an additional $20 operating line of credit under the second phase of the CEBA loan program ("CEBA Loan 2"), also bearing interest at 0%.

The terms of the CEBA Loan 1 and CEBA Loan 2 are as follows:

  • In January 2022, both lines of credit automatically converted to two-year term loans bearing interest at 0%, to be repaid on December 31, 2023. There is the option for the Corporation to extend the loans by two additional years on December 31, 2023, and if this extension is exercised, the term loans will mature on December 31, 2025, at which time the balance must be repaid in full.
  • Both loans are interest-free until January 1, 2024. If the loans are extended, commencing January 1, 2024, interest will accrue on the outstanding balance at a rate of 5% per annum, payable monthly on the last day of each month.
  • If the balance of the loans is repaid in full on or before January 18, 2024, $10 of each of the term loans will be forgiven (for a total of $20).

CEBA Loan 1 of $40 was initially recorded at the fair value of $15. The initial discount of $25 on recognition of the loan at fair value was recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as other income over the three-year term of the loan.

CEBA Loan 2 of $20 was initially recorded at the fair value of $7. The initial discount of $13 on recognition of the loan at fair value was recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as other income over the two-year term of the loan.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, the Corporation was approved for repayable financing of a $40 business loan from a credit facility, bearing variable interest at prime rate plus 1.59% per annum. The loan is repayable over 60 consecutive monthly installments of $1 starting from February 19, 2024 until December 22, 2028.

During the three- and nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, the Corporation repaid $2 and $4 of the loan and recognized $1 and $2 interest (2023: $nil).

CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

(a) 2018 Convertible debentures

| As at
($ Cdn thousands) | September 30, 2024 | December 31, 2023 |

| Interest accrued during the period | 172 | 435 |
| Unrealized (gain) loss on convertible debentures | (1,573) | 256 |
| Balance at the end of the year | 2,823 | 3,964 |
| Face value of the convertible debentures at end of the period | 3,260 | 3,000 |

On May 30, 2018, the Corporation issued convertible debentures ("2018 Debentures") with a principal balance of $3,000 maturing on May 30, 2023. The 2018 Debentures have been presented as current on the Statement of Financial Position as at September 30, 2024.

The 2018 Debentures are hybrid contracts with multiple embedded derivatives. The Corporation has measured the entire hybrid contract at fair value with adjustments recorded to finance costs in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The face value of the 2018 Debentures reconciles to the carrying amount as at September 30, 2024 and 2023 as follows:

| As at
($ Cdn thousands) | September 30, 2024 | December 31, 2023 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Face value | 3,260 | 3,000 |
| Interest accrued | 2,070 | 1,898 |
| Face value plus accrued interest | 5,330 | 4,898 |
| Fair value adjustment | (2,507) | (934) |
| Balance at the end of the period | 2,823 | 3,964 |

The 2018 Debentures have a variable interest charge based on the Corporation's cash burn rate.

The interest rate is the lesser of:

a. 8.50% plus (0.50% x number of Shortfall Months) compounded quarterly; or
b. 12.00% per annum compounded quarterly

where Shortfall Months is equal to (twelve-(ending cash balance/three month average cash burn)).

During the three- and nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, the Corporation's monthly cash burn rate was such that the accrued annual rate of interest payable was 12% (compounded quarterly). The $3,000 outstanding in 2018 Debentures can be converted into common shares at the election of debenture holders at any time at a conversion price of $0.51 per share.

The Corporation announced on July 18, 2024 key changes to 2018 convertible debentures as follows:

  • Term Extension: The maturity date of the Amended Convertible Debentures has been extended to May 30th, 2027.
  • Security: The Amended Convertible Debentures are secured against all the present and after-acquired personal property of the Corporation.
  • Interest: The base interest rate has been reduced from 8.5% to 4%. The Amended Convertible Debentures are subject to interest rate adjustments if the Corporation fails to maintain a cash balance equal to its 12-month burn rate whereby the interest rate increases by 0.5% for each month of inadequate cash balance. The maximum interest rate, which was formerly 12% per annum compounded quarterly, is now adjusted to a maximum of 10% per annum compounded quarterly.
  • Interest Grace Period: Interest will not accrue during the period from April 15, 2024 until November 30, 2024.
  • Conversion Price: The conversion price has been reduced to $0.20 per common share of the Corporation.

As at September 30, 2024, the unpaid accrued interest payable was $2,069 (December 31, 2023: $1,898).

The fair value of the 2018 Debentures is determined using a probability-weighted multi-scenario model based on the host liability and embedded derivatives of the instrument. The most significant factors in the computation of the fair value of this financial instrument as at September 30, 2024 are the fair values of the host liability and the conversion feature. The fair value of the host liability is determined using a discount rate of 39.4% (2023: 39.4%), interest payments of 12.0% up to April 15, 2024 (2023: 8.5% to 12.0%), and a remaining expected term of 2.66 year (2023: 1 year). The fair value of the conversion feature is determined using a Black-Scholes model with a volatility of 90% (2023: 90%), a risk-free rate of interest of 2.88% (2023: 4.96%), a stock price of $0.01 (2023: $0.09) per share, and a remaining expected life of 2.66 year (2023: 1 year), as at September 30, 2024.

Sensitivity analysis:

A $0.01 increase in the share price within the Black-Scholes model would result in an increase in the fair value of the outstanding principal of the 2018 Debentures of $27. A 1% increase in the discount rate would result in a decrease in the fair value of the outstanding principal 2018 Debentures of $53. Comparable decreases in each of the share price and discount rate would result in a comparable opposite change in the fair value of the outstanding principal of the 2018 Debentures.

(b) 2021 Convertible debenture

| Face value | 3,000 | 3,000 |

| Allocation - convertible debenture - warrant portion | (1,188) | (1,188) |
| Accretion on convertible debenture | 1,301 | 871 |
| Debenture liability balance at the end of the period | 1,759 | 1,329 |

On March 5, 2021, the Corporation issued a convertible debenture ("2021 Debenture") for $3,000. The 2021 Debenture is non-interest bearing, with a maturity date of March 5, 2026. The 2021 Debenture is convertible to common shares at a conversion price of $0.23 per share. In addition, the purchaser received 12,000,000 warrants that can each be converted to one common share of the Corporation at a purchase price of $0.25 per share. The warrants expire March 5, 2026. The Corporation incurred $62 in financing costs related to legal and transaction processing charges.

The initial amount recognized for the detachable warrants and the 2021 Debenture was determined by applying the relative fair value approach. The fair value of the detachable warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of the 2021 Debenture was determined by estimating the fair values of both the debt component and conversion feature; the debt component by discounting the expected future cash flows at a market rate of interest of 45.0% for a comparable debt instrument without a conversion feature and the conversion feature using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This resulted in $1,188 being assigned to the detachable warrants and $1,750 being assigned to the 2021 Debenture (net of transaction costs). The subsequent bifurcation of the 2021 Debenture into its liability and equity components was determined following the residual approach for the equity component; this resulted in an initial liability of $468 and the remaining $1,292 being allocated to the equity conversion feature (net of transaction costs).

The fair value of the detachable warrants and conversion feature was determined using a Black-Scholes model with a volatility of 90%, a risk-free rate of interest of 0.90%, a stock price of $0.30 per share, and a remaining expected life of 5.0 years, as at March 5, 2021.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

RISK FACTORS

Powering Capital. Simply.

Prior to making any investment decisions regarding Katipult, investors should carefully consider, among other things, the risks described herein (including risks and uncertainties listed in the Forward-Looking Statements section in this MD&A and the Going Concern Note in the financial statements and in this MD&A).

Going Concern

These financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Corporation will continue as a going concern, which assumes that the Corporation will be able to realize its assets and satisfy its liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Corporation had a negative net working capital position of $3,235 as at September 30, 2024. It had a net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 of $109, used cash in operating activities of $261 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, and had a deficit of $10,585 as at September 30, 2024.

The Corporation has convertible debentures and accrued interest with a face value of $8,330 as at September 30, 2024. The convertible debentures will mature in 2026 and 2027 which may be required to be settled in cash (see note 5).

The Corporation announced on July 18, 2024 key changes to 2018 convertible debentures as follows:

  • Term Extension: The maturity date of the Amended Convertible Debentures has been extended to May 30th, 2027.
  • Security: The Amended Convertible Debentures are secured against all the present and after-acquired personal property of the Corporation.
  • Interest: The base interest rate has been reduced from 8.5% to 4%. The Amended Convertible Debentures are subject to interest rate adjustments if the Corporation fails to maintain a cash balance equal to its 12-month burn rate whereby the interest rate increases by 0.5% for each month of inadequate cash balance. The maximum interest rate, which was formerly 12% per annum compounded quarterly, is now adjusted to a maximum of 10% per annum compounded quarterly.
  • Interest Grace Period: Interest will not accrue during the period from April 15, 2024 until November 30, 2024.
  • Conversion Price: The conversion price has been reduced to $0.20 per common share of the Corporation.

The Corporation's ability to continue as a going concern is therefore dependent upon its ability to repay or renegotiate debt repayment terms. The Corporation's 2024 cash flow forecast assumes that it will meet the contractual criteria to invoice for milestone payments under an existing software implementation contract with a major customer, and that the Corporation is able to collect receivables from its existing customers on a timely basis. There is material uncertainty on those assumptions.

The Corporation has not yet been able to generate the sales volumes required to create positive cash flows from operating activities. The Corporation has incurred operating losses since inception and has historically relied on equity and debt financings to fund its operating losses. While the Corporation has previously been successful in raising external capital to fund its operations, there is no guarantee it will be successful in its efforts to raise additional financing; or if financing is available, that it will be on terms that are acceptable to the Corporation.

These financial statements do not include necessary adjustments to reflect the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and liabilities and related expenses that might be necessary should the Corporation be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.
