We prepared these consolidated financial statements under a going concern basis, which presume that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $(5,107,890) as of September 30, 2024, while the Company had an accumulated deficit of $(4,042,362) as of December 31, 2023. The working capital was $858,559 as of September 30, 2024, while the working capital was $1,493,931 as of December 31, 2023. Working capital is current assets minus current liabilities.

 

2.BASIS OF PREPARATION 

 

Statement of Compliance

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations issued by the International Reporting Interpretation Committee (“IFRIC”). These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated. Expenses in the income statement are categorized based on their function within the Company in compliance with IAS 1. The reviewed consolidated financial statements have been authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors on November 12, 2024.

 

Basis and Principle of Consolidation

 

We consolidated financial statements reports for all the software-provider companies for the year ended 2023 and year 2022 according to IFRS 8, paragraph 22. We have only one reportable segment since our seven operating segments are in the technology sector and have similar operating activities. We decided this based on the type of products and services each company offers, which is software licensing and software maintenance, the nature of the production processes, which is issuing new software licenses to customers, the type or class of customer for their products and services, which is users of software, and the methods used to distribute their products and services, which is online delivery.




Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

 

Inter-company transactions, balances, income, and expenses on transactions are eliminated on consolidation. Profits or losses resulting from intercompany transactions that are recognized in assets are also eliminated. The accounting policies of subsidiaries are consistent with the policies adopted by the Company.

 

The consolidated financial statements include financial statements of the Company and the subsidiaries listed below:

Basis of Measurement

 

The consolidated financial statements are prepared on an accrual basis and historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair value. These consolidated financial statements are prepared and presented in Canadian dollar (“CAD”) and represented by a dollar sign ($). The functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar, and the functional currency of the subsidiaries is Canadian dollar, United States of America (“USD”) dollar, and euro. In addition to Canada, the Company has operations in the United States of America and Germany.

The Company has a manufacturing facility in Lahore, Pakistan and a warehouse lease in Sharjah, UAE. ZenaTech plans to open a manufacturing facility in Nevada, USA and sales offices related to the drones in Germany, Ireland, United Arab Emirates, and United Kingdom. ZenaTech is negotiating with potential drone clients in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and South America.

 

Significant Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

 

These consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS. This requires management to make assumptions, estimates, and judgments that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, along with reported amounts of expenses and net losses during the period. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and as such, estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the statement of financial position reporting date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, if actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:

 

Income Taxes

 

The determination of deferred income tax assets or liabilities requires subjective assumptions regarding future income tax rates and the likelihood of utilizing tax carryforwards. Changes in these assumptions could materially affect the recorded amounts, and therefore do not necessarily provide certainty as to their recorded values. Deferred tax assets are recognized when it is determined that the company is likely to recognize their recovery from the generation of taxable income.




Contingencies

 

The assessment of contingencies involves the exercise of significant judgment and estimates of the outcome of future events. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company and that may result in regulatory or government actions that may negatively impact the Company’s business or operations, the Company and its legal counsel evaluate the perceived merits of the legal proceeding or unasserted claim or action as well as the perceived merits of the nature and amount of relief sought or expected to be sought, when determining the amount, if any, to recognize as a contingent liability or when assessing the impact on the carrying value of the Company’s assets. Contingent assets are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Business Combinations

 

The assessment of whether an acquisition meets the definition of a business or whether assets are acquired is an area of key judgment. If deemed to be a business combination, applying the acquisition method to business combinations requires each identifiable assets and liability to be measured at its acquisition date fair value. The excess, if any, of the fair value of consideration over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. If deemed to be an asset acquisition, acquisition considerations are allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed on a relative fair value basis and no goodwill is recognized.

 

Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

 

An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's or cash-generating unit's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. To determine the recoverable amount, management estimates expected future cash flows from each asset or cash-generating unit and determines a suitable interest rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. In the process of measuring expected future cash flows, management makes assumptions about future operating results. In addition, when determining the applicable discount rate, estimation is involved in determining the appropriate adjustments to market risk and asset specific risk factors.

 

Other Significant Judgments

 

−The assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether there are events or conditions that may give rise to significant uncertainty; 

−the classification of financial instruments; 

−the assessment of revenue recognition using the five-step approach under IFRS 15 and the collectability of accounts receivable; 

−the determination of whether a set of assets acquired, and liabilities assumed constitute a business; and 

−the determination of the functional currency of the company. 

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars at rates of exchange at the time of such transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the reporting period rate of exchange. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical exchange rates. Revenue and expenses denominated in a foreign currency are translated at the monthly average exchange rate. Gains and losses resulting from the translation adjustments are included in income.




The functional currencies for the parent company and each subsidiary are as follows:

 

 

Functional Currency

PacePlus, Inc.

United States of America dollar

SystemView, Inc.

United States of America dollar

ZigVoice, Inc.

United States of America dollar

ZenaTech, Inc.

Canada dollar

TillerStack, GmbH.

Euro

PsPortals, Inc.

United States of America dollar

 

Financial statements of subsidiaries for which the functional currency is not the Canadian dollar are translated into Canadian dollars as follows: all asset and liability accounts are translated at the year-end exchange rate; all earnings and expense accounts and as well as cash flow statement items are translated at average exchange rates for the year. The resulting translation gains and losses are recorded as exchange differences on translating foreign operations in other comprehensive income.

 

Functional Currency

 

The Company determines the functional currency through an analysis of several indicators such as expenses and cash flow, financing activities, retention of operating cash flows, and frequency of transactions with the reporting entity. These assumptions relate to future events and circumstances. Actual results may vary and may cause significant adjustments to the Company’s assets within the next financial year.

ZenaTech made company acquisitions in United States dollars, or USD. We used US dollars to describe these transactions since they were the historical amounts. When appropriate for certain year-end balance sheet information, we converted those amounts to Canadian dollars, CAD or $, as listed on the https://www.poundsterlinglive.com.

 

3.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

 

The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements set out below have been applied consistently in all material respects.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions and other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of six months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. The Company had $130,844 in cash and no other cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024.

 

Other Current Assets

 

ZenaTech contracted Maxim Group services related to the Company’s listing on a relevant stock exchange in February 2024. Maxim Group’s services are for one year. The Company paid the retainer fee of $25,000 USD in cash and issued 166,667 shares of common stock, which is earned over the one-year contract.

 

ZenaTech had an amount of $276,206 in other current assets as of September 30, 2024, representing $800,000 in accrued expense for Maxim Group less the corresponding expense for the first three quarters of 2024. Upon listing the Company shall allow Maxim Group to purchase shares up to 7% of the shares underlying the securities issued in Financing, pay a cash fee of $250,000 upon the closing of the Company’s next financing, and issue 166,667 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company created a yearly accrual for $800,000 representing 166,667 shares at the current share trading price of $4.80 per share or $3.54 USD and expensed each month until December 2024. The currency exchange rate used in calculating the amounts above was $1 USD to $1.3559 CAD, as listed on https://www.poundsterlinglive.com as of July 1, 2024.




The Company had $23,733 other current assets as of December 31, 2023 representing $14,471 deferred taxes for TillerStack and other tax related amounts.

 

Collection Policy

 

When all collections activities are exhausted and an account receivable is deemed uncollected, the company creates a reserve in the allowance for doubtful accounts. Based on management experience, which may involve obtaining a legal opinion on its collectability, the company will then write off the amount uncollectible by reducing the allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

Long-Term Assets

 

The Company reviews the carrying value of property, plant, and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash   expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized as equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends, and prospects, as well as the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors.

 

Product Development Costs

 

Product development costs are stated at cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is provided for on a straight-line basis over 5-15 years to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life. The residual value is the estimated amount that would currently be obtained from disposal of the asset if the asset was already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life.

 

Fixed Assets

 

Fixed assets are recorded at its acquisition cost, which includes the costs of bringing the equipment to the condition and location for its intended use. Fixed assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the related asset. Our German fixed assets are depreciated according to the German fixed assets laws and then written off in five years. Our equipment includes computers and related equipment and has a useful life of five years.

 

Drone Patent

 

ZenaTech acquired the permanent licensing of drone design patent number USD932369S1 in January 2022. We plan to use this licensing for drone development. This was an asset purchase paid in stock to Epazz, Inc. for $1,440,000 (notes 11 and 15).

 

Robotic Arm Technology

 

ZenaTech acquired the permanent licensing of the Robotic Arm technology in January 2022. We plan to use this license for drone development. This was an asset purchase paid in stock to Ameritek Ventures, Inc., a related party, for 3,500,000 at $0.24, or $840,000, of ZenaTech common shares and 7% of any and all sales (notes 6, 11 and 15).

 

Intangible Assets and Goodwill

 

An intangible asset is an identifiable asset without physical substance. An asset is identifiable if it is separable, or arises from contractual or legal rights, regardless of whether those rights are transferrable or separable from the Company or from other rights and obligations. Intangible assets include intellectual property, which consists of patent and trademark applications.

 

Intangible assets acquired externally are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. The cost of a group of intangible assets acquired is allocated to the individual intangible assets based on their relative fair values. The cost of intangible assets acquired externally comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable cost of preparing the asset for its intended use.




Research and development costs incurred subsequent to the acquisition of externally acquired intangible assets and on internally generated intangible assets are accounted for as research and development costs.

 

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected life of each intellectual property to write off the cost of the assets from the date they are available for use.

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the value of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net identifiable assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is allocated to the cash generating unit to which it relates. We account for goodwill according to IFRS requirements.

 

Financial Instruments

 

Classification

 

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

·those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through OCI or through profit or loss), and 

·those to be measured at amortized cost. 

 

The classification depends on the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

 

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI. For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).

 

The Company reclassifies debt instruments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

 

Recognition and Derecognition

 

Purchases and sales of financial assets in the normal course of business are recognized on trade date, the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

 

Measurement

 

At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss.

 

Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether or not their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.

 

Debt Instruments

 

Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Company’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset.  There are three measurement categories into which the Company classifies its debt instruments:

 

Amortized cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows, where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at amortized cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognized directly in profit or loss and presented in other gains or losses together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as separate line items in the statement of profit or loss.




FVOCI:  Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognized in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognized in other gains or losses. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in other gains or losses and impairment expenses are presented as separate line in the statement of profit or loss.

FVPL: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at FVPL is recognized in profit or loss and presented net within other gains or losses in the period in which it arises.

 

Equity Instruments

 

The Company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Company’s management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognized in profit or loss as other income when the Company’s right to receive payments is established.

 

Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVPL are recognized in other gains or losses in the statement of profit or loss as applicable. Impairment losses and reversal of impairment losses on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value.

 

Impairment

 

The Company assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at an amortized cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

 

For trade receivables, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables.  

 

Income Taxes

 

Current Income Tax

 

Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current period are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date in the countries where the Company operates and generates taxable income.

 

Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in other comprehensive income or equity is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity and not in profit or loss. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

 

Deferred Income Tax

 

Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized only to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.




 

Share Capital

 

The Company records the proceeds from share issuances net of issue costs and any tax effects. Common shares issued for consideration other than cash are valued based on their market value at the date the common shares are issued.

 

Revenue

 

IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers

 

The Company earns its revenue from managing software derived from business to business or business to government operations. The Company is the only manufacturer of this software and it only sells software on a standalone basis directly to the end user.

Revenue is usually billed and collected at the beginning of the service period, which can be one month, three months, six months, or a year. The revenue is earned through time and recognized at the end of the reporting period. Any amount billed to customers for which services have not yet been provided is recorded as deferred revenue, which is a current liability on the balance sheet. The Company’s software revenue, which comes from software licensing, and support and maintenance agreements that are earned over a period of time, represents approximately 90%.

 

The Company also earns revenue from custom software programming. Most custom project-oriented software programming are derived from upgrades to software or custom programming to existing software. These projects are small and will usually end within 6-8 weeks. These custom projects are typically paid 50% upfront and the second part of the revenue is earned at the end of the project. This is a small portion of the company’s revenue, approximately 10%.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Sale of Software Licenses

 

The software license at the customer’s site is sold as a one-time perpetual license. The software license sales are recognized as revenue when a fixed fee order has been received and delivery has occurred to the customer. Revenue is recognized generally upon customer acceptance (point-in-time) of the software product and verification that it meets the required specifications. Software is delivered to customers electronically.

 

Software as a service

 

Software as a service includes revenue from software licensing and delivery in which software is licensed on a subscription basis and is centrally hosted. These services often include software updates which provide customers with rights to unspecified software product upgrades and maintenance releases and patches released during the term of the support period. Contracts for these services are generally 12-36 months in length. Revenue is recognized ratably and evenly over the term of the agreement. 

 

Maintenance and support services

 

The Company sells maintenance and support services which include access to technical support personnel for software and hardware troubleshooting and monitoring of the health of a customer’s network, access to a sophisticated web-portal for managing the end-to-end hardware and software digital ecosystem, and hosting support services through our network operations center, or NOC. These services provide either physical or automated remote monitoring which support customer networks 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.

 

These contracts are generally 12-36 months in length and generally automatically renew for additional 12-month periods unless cancelled by the customer. Rates for maintenance and support contracts are typically established based upon a fee per location or fee per device structure, with total fees subject to the number of services selected. Revenue is recognized ratably and evenly over the term of the agreement. 




The Company had three major customers according to IFRS 8 paragraph 34 for the year ended December 31, 2023. These customers were Wisconsin Crime Information Bureau with 24% revenue, Liquid PC, Inc. with 22% revenue and Unisys – GA with 17% of revenue.

 

Earnings or Loss per Share

 

Basic earnings or loss per share are computed by dividing the net earnings or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings or loss per share are computed similarly to basic earnings or loss per share except that the weighted average share outstanding is increased to include additional shares for the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, if dilutive. The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding stock options and warrants were exercised and that the proceeds from such exercises were used to acquire common stock at the average market price during the reporting periods.

 

Leases

 

On January 13, 2016, the International Accounting Standards Board published a new standard, IFRS 16, Leases, eliminating the current dual accounting model for lessees, which distinguishes between on-balance sheet finance leases and off-balance sheet operating leases. Under the new standard, a lease becomes an on-balance sheet liability that attracts interest, together with a new right-of-use asset. In addition, lessees will recognize a front-loaded pattern of expense for most leases, even when cash rentals are constant. IFRS 16 is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with early application permitted.

 

A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. At the commencement date, the lease liability is recognized at the present value of the future lease payments and discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or the Company's incremental borrowing rate. A corresponding right-of-use ("ROU”) asset will be recognized at the amount of the lease liability, adjusted for any lease incentives received and initial direct costs incurred. Over the term of the lease, financing expense is recognized on the lease liability using the effective interest rate method and charged to net income, lease payments are applied against the lease liability and depreciation on the ROU asset is recorded by class of underlying asset.

 

The lease term is the non-cancellable period of a lease and includes periods covered by an optional lease extension option if reasonably certain the Company will exercise the option to extend. Conversely, periods covered by an option to terminate are included if the Company does not expect to end the lease during that time frame. Leases with a term of less than twelve months or leases for underlying low value assets are recognized as an expense in net income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

A lease modification will be accounted for as a separate lease if it materially changes the scope of the lease. For a modification that is not a separate lease, on the effective date of the lease modification, the Company will remeasure the lease liability and corresponding ROU asset using the interest rate implicit in the lease or the Company's incremental borrowing rate. Any variance between the remeasured ROU asset and lease liability will be recognized as a gain or loss in net income to reflect the change in scope.

 

ZenaTech had a prepaid month-to-month lease, which expired mid-June 2023. The Company has since changed locations and commenced a long-term lease contract starting at the end of June 2023. The lease contract is non-cancellable for an initial 5-year term and then can be extended up to 25 years, per agreement.




Lease Liability

 

The Company makes lease liability payments every two months starting with June 2023.

Account Name Changes and Reclassification

 

We reclassified certain amounts from the prior presentation to comply with the balance sheet presentation for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. We changed the presentation of the “Advance to affiliate for future services” on the balance sheet from the current assets section into a split amount of short-term amount of $2,500,000, and long-term amount that is the total amount less the short-term. We also changed the presentation of the “Advance to affiliate”




on the statement of cash flows to investing activities from financing activities since it was incorrectly classified as a financing activity, per IAS 7. Prior period statements were reclassified to comply with IAS 8. There is no change due to this update.

 

The Company changed the account name from ‘Salaries and benefits’ to ‘Wages and benefits’, which better reflects the categories of expenses included in it.

12.STOCK COMPENSATION 

 

The Company has a Compensation Package for Directors and Executives. Elements of compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to each of our directors and executive officers who served during the last two financial years. This compensation discussion considers the size and stage of development of the Company to date.

 

As of December 31, 2022, the named executive officers of the Company were Shaun Passley, PhD as Chief Executive Officer, and James Sherman as Chief Financial Officer (the “Named Executive Officers”). Mr. Passley and Mr. Sherman are expected to be the only Named Executive Officers for the current fiscal year as well.

 

In assessing the compensation of its Named Executive Officers, the Company’s objectives have been to retain and motivate a highly talented executive team, allowing the Company to develop, evolve and achieve business and financial objectives. We believe compensation should be structured to ensure that a significant portion of an executive's compensation opportunity is at risk and related to factors that influence shareholder value.

 

The Company issued 3,333 common shares of the Company to each of Yvonne Rattray and Neville Brown for services as directors of the Company on February 7, 2024 at a price of $4.80 per share or $3.54 USD (notes 11 and 15). The currency exchanged used in this conversion was $1 USD to $1.36 as of July 1, 2024 as listed on www.pondsterlinglive.com.

 

No other compensation was provided to key management personnel for the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022 (note 15). The Company and Shaun Passley, PhD agreed to forego his salary from inception until September 30, 2024.

 

13.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 

 

The Company’s consolidated financial instruments include accounts receivable, accounts payable, a note receivable, and loans payable. The carrying value of accounts receivable and accounts payable as presented in these consolidated financial statements are reasonable estimates of fair values due to the relatively short periods to maturity and the terms of these instruments.

 

Financial instruments must be classified at one of three levels within a fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate their values. The three levels of the hierarchy are as follows:

 

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

 

Risk Exposure and Management

 

The Company is exposed to various financial instrument risks and continuously assesses the impact and likelihood of this exposure. These risks include credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and currency risk.  Where material these risks are reviewed and monitored by the Board of Directors.

 

Credit Risk

 

Credit risk arises from the non-performance by counterparties of contractual financial obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. Management believes the risk of loss to be minimal.

 

Liquidity Risk

 

Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations when they become due or can only do so at excessive cost. The Company had a working capital of $1,165,457 as of September 30, 2024. All the Company’s financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms. Therefore, the Company is not exposed to any significant liquidity risk.




Interest Rate Risk

 

Interest risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows will fluctuate because of changes in market risk. The Company’s accounts receivable currently bears no interest. The Company is not exposed to any interest rate risk.

 

Currency Risk

 

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.  The Company’s exposure to currency risk is limited to cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable and loans payable denominated in United States of America dollars. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments contracts to mitigate foreign exchange risk.

 

14.CAPITAL MANAGEMENT 

 

The Company has operations generating positive cash flow but still depends on financing through debt and equity to fund its long-term investments, primarily drone investment and distribution activities. The speed at which the Company will grow its drone sales will depend on the amount of financing the Company will be able to secure. The capital structure of the Company consists of shareholders’ equity, which is comprised of share capital and deficit. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management due to the nature of the Company’s business. The Company does not pay dividends and is not exposed to any externally imposed capital requirements. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management for the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022 respectively.

The parties amended the agreement to change the markup from 45% to 20% starting January 31, 2019. Under the agreement the Company agreed to indemnify Epazz for losses incurred by it in connection with the provision of the services to the Company, except to the extent those losses result from the willful misconduct of Epazz.

All funds due from Epazz, Inc. represent advances for programming, support, and management fees on the statement of net income or loss.

Under this agreement the Company pays Epazz for management, programming, support and various office operating costs.

Advance to Affiliate for Future Services

 

As operation process ZenaTech advances funds to Epazz, Inc. These funds are relating to the Management Services Agreement with Epazz and are restricted for the use and benefit of ZenaTech. Funds advanced to Epazz are designed to be consumed through services provided by Epazz for the benefit of ZenaTech. Epazz is paying for product development costs, professional fees, wages and benefits, and other general and administrative costs. Funds are settled on a daily or weekly basis. The Company has the right to enforce repayment of these funds from Epazz.

 

The management services agreement is similar to software as a service, in which Epazz not only provides the labor but also the equipment and facilities. The Company prepays Epazz to acquire the equipment and facilities, and then the equipment and facilities are provided as services that correspond with our labor needs. The amount of the equipment and facilities is recorded over time as the labor uses the equipment and facilities, as a single fee per contractor.

 

The Company is using the management service agreement as opposed to establishing our own facility in offshore locations for the reasons that it is very time-consuming, the cost would be much greater, it is difficult to establish entities in foreign countries and establish banking relations difficult, and hiring foreign personnel which speaks different languages would cause communication issues. Furthermore, the foreign market would see ZenaDrone as a start-up company versus Epazz which has been well established in the offshore market for over a decade.

 

The Company increased the number of contractors during the two quarters ended September 30, 2024 since the Company’s drone products are transitioning from research and development projects to manufacturing. The additional 20 contractors are manufacturing technicians.

 

Through management service agreement there is a new manufacturing facility in Lahore, Pakistan. Epazz leased the facility, did leasehold improvements and purchased all of the equipment, tools, vehicles, supplies and materials needed to begin to manufacture the drones. These are upfront investments, which the Company prepaid as services which will be expensed monthly as the contractor uses the equipment and facilities to produce the drones.

 

The total advances to Epazz for future services was $12,296,051 as of September 30, 2024. Of this amount $1,963,348 was included in current assets and $10,332,403 was included in the long-term assets. The current amount is expected to be provided in services by Epazz within a twelve (12) month period based on the current projected needs of the Company. The long-term amount will be paid back in services or cash.

The total advances to Epazz for future services was $7,465,005 as of December 31, 2023. Of this amount $2,500,000 is included in current assets and $4,480,126 is included in the long-term assets. The current amount is expected to be provided in services by Epazz within a twelve (12) month period based on the current projected needs of the Company. The Company deducts every quarter the expenses from the $2,500,000 current assets then the Company debits long-term assets at the end of the quarter and credits current assets. The amount is based on what the Company needs, but the Company expected that $2,500,000 will be for a twelve-month (12) period based on the current projected needs of the Company. The Company is planning for a ramp-up period as manufacturing of the drones starts. Therefore, the Current asset amount will most likely increase.

The Company recorded goodwill of $2,468,722 associated with the PacePlus acquisition. The asset is not being amortized for financial reporting purposes.




The asset is being amortized over a period of twenty years for income tax purposes. This would generally give rise to a long-term deferred tax asset when companies have taxable income. Since ZenaTech did not anticipate having taxable income, the Company did not make a reserve for this asset. As such, the deferred tax asset has not been recognized.

ZenaTech, formerly known as ZenaPay, originated with cloud-based enterprise software applications tailored for the agriculture sector. These applications offer blockchain-based solutions encompassing payment systems, smart farming, plant tracker software, business management tools, supply-chain blockchain management, compliance management, and government auditing software. Building upon this foundation, ZenaTech is developing a new series of next-generation applications for the agriculture industry, introducing features like point-of-sale, e-commerce, marketing tools, reward cards via mobile app, inventory control, seed-to-store tracking, employee timecards, and live video capabilities.

 

ZenaTech expanded its portfolio through the acquisition of PacePlus, which includes subsidiaries SystemView and ZigVoice. This move added profitable cloud-based enterprise software applications tailored for the medical services (PacePlus), security (SystemView), and contact center (ZigVoice) industries. ZenaTech has further refined and enhanced these applications, serving various businesses, government agencies, colleges, and healthcare providers.

 

The acquisition of WorkAware brought a revenue-generating cloud-based safety and compliance management solution that can be deployed across multiple industries, including field management services. ZenaTech plans to leverage the WorkAware software to expand its drone business into sectors such as agriculture, infrastructure, and mining. WorkAware Canada has been established to cater to software sales in Canada.



Through the acquisition of TillerStack, ZenaTech acquired a profitable cloud-based enterprise field management software and mobile solutions for diverse industries. Utilizing the TillerStack software, ZenaTech aims to extend its drone business into sectors such as infrastructure and mining. TillerStack Wyoming has been established to handle software sales in the US and Canada.

 

ZenaTech’s acquisition of PsPortals added a revenue-generating cloud-based information management solution catering to law enforcement and public safety agencies. The acquired software will support ZenaTech’s expansion into the drone business, targeting applications in law enforcement, public safety, and government sectors.

 

ZenaTech has diversified into drone manufacturing, sales, and service operations, establishing several entities across different regions. ZenaDrone Limited, located in Ireland, serves as the company’s platform for drone operations in the European Union. ZenaDrone GmbH. operates in Germany for drone operations, while ZenaDrone Trading, LLC, focuses on commercial activities such as sales, marketing, and demos. Additionally, ZenaDrone Manufacturing (FZE) has been set up in the Middle East as the entity responsible for drone manufacturing, holding a license from Galaxy Batteries, Inc. (owned by Epazz, Inc.) for battery production.

 

Business Strategies

 

Our current business is in software development and licensing; however, we plan to expand into the drone business as we anticipate the market for drones to become more prevalent over the next five years. We do not anticipate any changes to the use of existing software products under our current business operated through ZenaTech, PacePlus, SystemView, ZigVoice, WorkAware, TillerStack and PsPortals while we pursue our drone business through ZenaDrone. We currently generate all our income from our software business but believe our drone business will increasingly generate income over the next five years as it develops.

 

ZenaTech has a history of providing business-to-business software solutions. In addition, the Company has many ongoing government contracts for software solutions and support. Many of the Company’s products provide cloud-based management solutions for businesses that can be utilized in a variety of industries. Various Company products provide solutions in the medical services industry, security applications, contact center applications, safety and compliance management, field management software and mobile solutions and information management solutions for law enforcement that manages information relating to public safety.

 

ZenaTech has a history of growth through acquisitions, in which the Company acquires established revenue generating software companies with an established product. When acquired, some products need software updates, however the previous owners might not have had the resources and expertise to accomplish this. The Company may incur costs to update these products in the year after acquisition.

 

Some of the Company’s solutions products were developed internally and others were acquired through acquisitions. All products are maintained and updated internally through expert staffing. The software solutions part of the business provides positive cash flow which is utilized for acquisitions and new product development. One such new product developed over the past three years is a high-quality Unmanned Vehicle System, commonly referred to as a drone.

 

The Company believes it can be more effective as a software company in developing drone technology and hardware than other potential providers who do not have a software technology-based background. The ZenaDrone 1000 is a high-quality large drone that is five times larger than many commercial drones and made of carbon fiber to keep it lightweight. It has eight electronic motors and uses a blend-wing body to lift the drone during flight, making it more stable and better maneuverable than other commercial drones.



The ZenaDrone 1000 has a longer flight time than many commercial drones and can self-charge on charging pads that can be placed at various locations at a site.

 

The Company has been showcasing the drone at various trade shows and military conferences to display its functionality and features to potential customers. In addition, the ZenaDrone 1000 is ideal for video surveillance and inspections within industries such as utilities, pipelines, construction, agriculture, wildlife management and large structure maintenance. The ZenaDrone 1000 has many innovative and proprietary technologies integrated within the product and the associated software controls.

 

Over the past three years, the Company transitioned the drone business from an idea – to help its agriculture customers – to creating, beta-testing, and producing a plan for marketing its drone and branching into the drone industry.

 

By the end of 2021, the Company completed the development of the ZenaDrone 1000 and implemented a marketing plan for the product. During 2022, ZenaTech developed market awareness and is currently seeking multiple prospects.

 

The Company is generating revenue from the drone pilot programs. The Company is receiving revenue with its contract with US Airforce. Also, the company has other pilot programs, once they are completed, each customer has an option to purchase the drone platform from the Company at 35-50% discount within 90 days after the pilot program. The time frame and steps to begin generating revenue will be by converting the pilot customers into paying customers. The pilot customers will sign a purchase order within 90 days. Then the Company would deliver the drone to the customer's facility and train them on the drone platform.

 

Nasdaq.com, a New York Stock Exchange trading platform, approved the stock of ZenaTech, Inc. to be listed on its exchange before the end of the third quarter. ZenaTech’s common stock was listed under the ticker ‘ZENA’ and it is currently trading as of October 1, 2024.

Amortization and depreciation increased by $12,197 in 2024 due to depreciation associated with a long-term lease entered during June 2023 and the associated right of use asset. The Company added a vehicle that the Company purchased during the third quarter of 2024 for which straight line depreciation is used. Depreciation for the third quarter for the vehicle was $1,080. There were no bad debts in 2024 so there was a positive impact on the results of $8,092. Finance expenses increased by $161,024 due to additional loans payable during 2024 versus 2023. Loans payable as of September 30, 2024 were $9,192,684, as compared to $7,862,130 as of December 31, 2023 and there was an increase in the interest expense associated with the long-term lease of $25,321. Programming and support fees continued to decrease for the two quarters ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period of 2023, due to less programming required because software packages offered have up-to-date software and platforms. Professional fees increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the two quarters of 2023, due to the additional legal and accounting fees associated with stock listing and auditing fees. Stock-based compensation was provided to newly elected Board of Director members in 2024. The cost of this compensation was $32,000, which was fully expensed in the first quarter 2024.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 the Company issued 166,667 shares of stock as compensation for services to be rendered from February 2024 through January 2025. Stock issued for services of $533,333, listed above in the quarter ended September 30, 2024, reflects eight months of services rendered under this agreement. The remaining amount of $266,667 is included in other current assets as a prepaid expense as of September 30, 2024. Wages and benefits decreased by $334,160 in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The primary cause of this decrease is associated with cost cutting measures in the TillerStack division. In addition, certain selling and management wages in the WorkAware division have been reduced. The general and administrative expenses increased by $210,289 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the second quarter 2023. Most of this cost was drone related, and some of these expenses were $71,700 for drone parts and shipping to testing sites, $88,300 consultants for drone proposals and other, drone testing sites of $30,000 and $13,700 in electronic drone parts.

 

Other effects on net income for the first two quarters ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the prior year first three quarters, include an interest increase of income during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 of $20,511, an increase in the foreign exchange loss of $1,466, and less favorable income taxes of $3,157.

 

The Company recognized a foreign currency translation reserve loss variance of $75,148 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The variance reflects the stronger Canadian dollar in 2024. The comprehensive loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 of $1,150,575 was greater than that of the comparable 2023 period loss of $526,971 due to the factors discussed above.

The basic and fully dilutive lose per share was $(0.07) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024.

Stock ownership following company spin-off

Management services agreement

 

On November 18, 2018, in connection with the spin off, ZenaPay entered into a management services agreement with Epazz pursuant to which Epazz agreed to provide certain management services to ZenaPay, including for labor, office space, hosting, travel, banking and business development, and ZenaPay agreed to pay Epazz a 45 percent markup on all expenses incurred in providing the services to ZenaPay. The parties amended the agreement to change the markup from 45% to 20% starting January 31, 2019. Under the agreement, ZenaPay agreed to indemnify Epazz for losses incurred by it in connection with the provision of the services under the agreement to ZenaPay, except to the extent those losses result from the willful misconduct of Epazz.



The agreement has a 20-year term, however, the agreement may be terminated at any time by the mutual consent of the parties. All funds due from Epazz, Inc. represent advances for programming, support and management fees on the statement of net income or loss. The Company will realize this asset through services rendered by Epazz during 2024 and 2025.

 

On May 16, 2024, the Company and Epazz, Inc. amended their management service agreement to include a default clause. If Epazz, Inc. becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to provide the services contemplated hereby, all property and other assets relating to the services contemplated hereby provided by the Executive Manager to or for the benefit of the Company shall become the property and assets of the Company and the Company shall have the right to forthwith foreclose and seize such property and assets, including without limitation, facilities, equipment and supplies.

 

Under this agreement the Company pays Epazz for certain management, programming, support, various office operating costs and product development costs. ZenaTech received services totaling $648,840 CAD from Epazz, Inc. for programming and support, salaries and wages and product development services during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. ZenaTech received services totaling $258,592 CAD from Epazz, Inc. for programming and support, salaries and wages, legal and professional services during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Key management personnel are those people that have the authority and responsibility for planning, directing, and controlling the activities of the Company directly and indirectly. Key management personnel include the Company’s directors and members of the senior management group. The Company offers its directors and officers only stock compensation for their services. Neither officers nor board of directors are paid salaries. The stock awards are recognized as an expense at the time of granting and for each period are described below.

 

The Company issued 6,667 common shares of the Company, representing 3,333 to each of Yvonne Rattray and Neville Brown for services as directors of the Company on February 7, 2024 at a price of $4.80 or $3.54 USD per share (notes 11 and 12).

No other compensation was provided to key management personnel for the years ended December 31, 2023

 

Advance to Affiliate for Future Services

 

As operation process ZenaTech advances funds to Epazz, Inc. These funds are relating to the Management Services Agreement with Epazz and are restricted for the use and benefit of ZenaTech. Funds advanced to Epazz are designed to be consumed through services provided by Epazz for the benefit of ZenaTech. Epazz is paying for product development costs, professional fees, wages and benefits, and other general and administrative costs. Funds are settled on a daily or weekly basis. The Company has the right to enforce repayment of these funds from Epazz.

 

The management services agreement is similar to software as a service, in which Epazz not only provides the labor but also the equipment and facilities. The Company prepays Epazz to acquire the equipment and facilities, and then the equipment and facilities are provided as services that correspond with our labor needs. The amount of the equipment and facilities is recorded over time as the labor uses the equipment and facilities, as a single fee per contractor.



The Company is using the management service agreement as opposed to establishing our own facility in offshore locations for the reasons that it is very time-consuming, the cost would be much greater, it is difficult to establish entities in foreign countries and establish banking relations difficult, and hiring foreign personnel which speaks different languages would cause communication issues. Furthermore, the foreign market would see ZenaDrone as a start-up company versus Epazz which has been well established in the offshore market for over a decade.

 

The Company increased the number of contractors during the two quarters ended September 30, 2024 since the Company’s drone products are transitioning from research and development projects to manufacturing. The additional 20 contractors are manufacturing technicians.

 

Through management service agreement there is a new manufacturing facility in Lahore, Pakistan. Epazz leased the facility, did leasehold improvements and purchased all of the equipment, tools, vehicles, supplies and materials needed to begin to manufacture the drones. These are upfront investments, which the Company prepaid as services which will be expensed monthly as the contractor uses the equipment and facilities to produce the drones.

 

The total advances to Epazz for future services was $12,296,051 as of September 30, 2024. Of this amount $1,963,348 was included in current assets and $10,332,403 was included in the long-term assets. The current amount is expected to be provided in services by Epazz within a twelve (12) month period based on the current projected needs of the Company. The long-term amount will be paid back in services or cash.

The total advances to Epazz for future services was $7,465,005 as of December 31, 2023. Of this amount $2,500,000 is included in current assets and $4,480,126 is included in the long-term assets. The current amount is expected to be provided in services by Epazz within a twelve (12) month period based on the current projected needs of the Company. The Company deducts every quarter the expenses from the $2,500,000 current assets then the Company debits long-term assets at the end of the quarter and credits current assets. The amount is based on what the Company needs, but the Company expected that $2,500,000 will be for a twelve-month (12) period based on the current projected needs of the Company. The Company is planning for a ramp-up period as manufacturing of the drones starts.



Therefore, the Current asset amount will most likely increase.

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the fiscal year. The Issuer makes estimates for, among other items, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, determination of future cash flows associated with impairment testing for long-lived assets, determination of the fair value of stock options and warrants, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, allowances for doubtful accounts, and potential income tax assessments and other contingencies. The Issuer bases its estimates on historical experience, current conditions, and other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

 

Changes in Accounting Policies

 

There were no changes in accounting policies during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023. There were no changes in accounting policies up through the dating of this Management Discussion and Analysis.



Management anticipates that all the pronouncements will be adopted in the Issuer’s accounting policies for the first period beginning after the effective date of the pronouncement. Information on new standards, amendments and interpretations that are expected to be relevant to the Issuer’s consolidated financial statements is provided below. Certain other new standards and interpretations have been issued, but are not expected to have an impact on the Issuer’s financial statements.

 

Future Changes in Accounting Standards

 

As of September 30,  2024 and as of December 31, 2023 the date of authorization of the Issuer's audited consolidated financial statements, certain new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been published but are not yet effective and have not been early-adopted by the Issuer.

 

There were no changes in accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30,  2024 or for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s consolidated financial instruments include amounts receivable, accounts payable, a note receivable and loans payable. The carrying value of amounts receivable and accounts payable as presented in these consolidated financial statements are reasonable estimates of fair values due to the relatively short periods to maturity and the terms of these instruments.

 

Financial instruments must be classified at one of three levels within a fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate their values. The three levels of the hierarchy are as follows:

 

·Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; 

·Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and 

·Level 3: Inputs that are not based on observable market data. 

Risk Exposure and Management

 

The Company is exposed to various financial instrument risks and continuously assesses the impact and likelihood of this exposure. These risks include credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and currency risk.  Where material these risks are reviewed and monitored by the Board of Directors.

 

Credit Risk

 

Credit risk arises from the non-performance by counterparties of contractual financial obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. Management believes the risk of loss to be minimal.

 

Liquidity Risk

 

Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations when they become due or can only do so at excessive cost. The Company had a working capital of $858,559 as of September 30, 2024. All the Company’s financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms. Therefore, the Company is not exposed to any significant liquidity risk.



Interest Rate Risk

 

Interest risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows will fluctuate because of changes in market risk. The Company’s accounts receivable currently bears no interest. The Company is not exposed to any interest rate risk.

 

Currency Risk

 

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.  The Company’s exposure to currency risk is limited to cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable and loans payable denominated in United States of America dollars. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments contracts to mitigate foreign exchange risk.

In particular, the certifying officers filing this certificate are not making any representations relating to the establishment and maintenance of

 

i)

controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in securities legislation; and
