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 $(8,524,113) as of December 31, 2024, while the Company had an accumulated deficit of $(4,042,362) as of December 31, 2023. The working capital was $3,387,365 as of December 31, 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 the 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 audited consolidated financial statements have been authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors on March 31st, 2024.
Basis and Principle of Consolidation
We consolidated financial statement reports for all the software-provider companies for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023 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. In case of transaction under common control, the assets and liabilities acquired are accounted for on the carrying value of previous owner.
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 |
Interactive Systems, Inc. |
United States of America dollar |
interlinkONE, Inc. |
United States of America dollar |
ZooOffice, 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.wsj.com/market-data/quotes/fx/USDCAD/historical-prices.
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 $3,754,075 in cash and no other cash equivalents as of December 31, 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 333,334 shares of common stock, which is earned over the one-year contract.
ZenaTech had an amount of $319,892 in other current assets as of December 31, 2024, representing $800,000 in accrued expense for Maxim Group less the corresponding expense for the ten and a half months 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.wsj.com/market-data/quotes/fx/USDCAD/historical-prices 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/Intangibles
The Company recognizes intangible assets in accordance with IAS 38 – Intangible Assets. These assets include both acquired intangible assets and internally generated intangible assets that meet the recognition criteria.
Recognition and Measurement
•Acquired intangible assets are initially recognized at cost, which includes the purchase price and directly attributable costs.
•Internally generated intangible assets are recognized only during the development phase, provided that the following criteria are met:
oDemonstration of technical feasibility for completion.
oIntention to complete and use/sell the asset.
oAbility to use/sell the asset.
oExpectation of future economic benefits.
oAvailability of necessary financial and other resources.
oReliable measurement of development costs.
oResearch costs are expensed as incurred, while development costs are capitalized when the above criteria are met.
Subsequent Measurement
The Company applies the cost model, where intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. The revaluation model is not applied, as there is no active market for these assets.
Amortization Policy
•Finite-life intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
·Software technology –15 years
•Indefinite-life intangibles are not amortized but are tested annually for impairment.
Impairment
•The Company assesses indicators of impairment at each reporting date.
•Indefinite-life intangibles and goodwill are tested for impairment at least annually.
•Any impairment losses are recognized in the statement of profit or loss.
Property Plant & Equipment
Property Plant and Equipment are recorded at its acquisition cost, which includes the costs of bringing the equipment to the condition and location for its intended use. Property Plant and Equipment 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 Patents
ZenaTech acquired the permanent licensing of drone design patent number USD932369S1 (“Design Patent”) 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 16).
ZenaTech acquired asset design patent USD1005883S1 from Epazz and Dr. Shaun Passley, related parties (note 16). The design drone patent allows for the ZenaDrone 1000 to be able to generate lift from its body design and increase payload capacity.

Goodwill
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, 2024. These customers were Wisconsin Crime Information Bureau with 14% revenue, Liquid PC, Inc. with 15% revenue and Unisys – GA with 27% of revenue.
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 to 25 years, per agreement.
Lease Liability
The Company has made lease liability payments every two months since June 2023 for the warehouse in Sharjah, UAE and will continue to make them until April 2028. Below are tables describing the maturity of the contractual lease and ROU asset.

Account Name Changes and Reclassification
We reclassified certain amounts from the prior presentation to comply with the balance sheet presentation for the quarter ended December 31, 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.

Acquisition of Ecker Capital, Inc.
ZenaTech entered into an acquisition agreement with Ameritek Ventures, Inc. to acquire Ecker Capital, LLC ("Ecker") on October 14, 2024, with an effective date of October 1, 2024. Ecker Capital, LLC is a subsidiary of Ameritek Ventures, Inc (notes 16).
In consideration of the purchase of Ecker, ZenaTech issued to Ameritek the following shares:
·5,000 Super Voting Shares with a stated value of $30.00 per share and an affective value of $2.13 per share,
·1,000,000 Common Shares at $2.67 per Common share and
·750,000 Preferred Shares with a stated value of $3.00 per share and an affective value of $2.49 per share.
Epazz is the principal shareholder of Ameritek with 95% voting control of Ameritek. Shaun Passley, PhD is the sole director and the CEO of Ameritek and the Managing Director of Ecker. Since Shaun Passley, PhD is also the Chief Executive Officer, a director and a stockholder of ZenaTech he is considered a related party to Ecker, Ameritek and ZenaTech and, therefore, Ecker and Ameritek are considered "related parties" to ZenaTech, and the acquisition of Ecker by ZenaTech constitutes a related party transaction.
Ecker is located at 602 W 5th Avenue, Suite B, Naperville, Illinois and is the software developer for warehouse products. This purchase was a benefit to ZenaDrone for its IQ drone series. Ecker is a parent holding company of Interactive Systems, Inc., interlinkONE, Inc, and ESM Software, Inc., three software technology companies.
The Company has received an independent valuation of the business of Ecker, which was prepared by the Stonebridge Advisory of Pasadena, California (“Valuator”). The effective date of the valuation is September 30, 2024, and is based on Ecker as an on-going concern which assumes Ecker has the financial resources to continue operating into the foreseeable future. All traditional approaches to value were considered by the Valuator and specific methods and calculations were weighted to reflect Ecker's value. Ecker was appraised using the fair market value as the standard of value assuming no discount for a lack of control (DLOC) and no adjustment for lack of marketability (DLOM). Because the balance sheet of Ecker might not represent the business, this valuation only values the enterprise value. The enterprise value is the invested capital value (debt and equity) of the business.
The Fair Market Value (enterprise value) of Ecker is estimated at $4,554,556. After any balance sheet adjustments, the adjusted value is $3,573,878 and after subtraction of term debt, if any, the equity value is $2,790,000. Equity value subtracts interest-bearing term debt and the working capital surplus or shortage, if any, from the enterprise value. A 100.00% interest of the Company's equity equals $4,550,000 . The Valuator's conclusion is subject to the Report's Limiting Conditions and the note in the conclusion section.
The Fair Market Value (FMV) is defined as the value an asset or liability would exchange hands given a willing buyer and seller negotiate an "arms-length" transaction with neither party under duress and with the parties having access to all pertinent information. The valuation supports the issuance of number of shares issued and the transaction at arm's length price.
The following table describes the purchase of Ecker Capital, Inc. The exchange rate for the transactions below was $1 USD to $1.3526, as listed on https://www.wsj.com/market-data/quotes/fx/USDCAD/historical-prices on October 1, 2024.

Shaun Passley, PhD is also the Chief Executive Officer, a director and a stockholder of ZenaTech. As such, Shaun Passley, PhD is considered a related party to ZooOffice, Epazz and ZenaTech and therefore ZooOffice and Epazz are considered related parties to ZenaTech, and the acquisition of ZooOffice by ZenaTech constitutes a related party transaction.
ZooOffice is located at 602 W 5th Avenue, Suite B, Naperville, Illinois and develops cloud business software products for businesses and governments. It has a compliance software what will be useful for compliance for ZenaDrone smart farming.
The Company has received an independent valuation of the business of ZooOffice, which was prepared by the Stonebridge Advisory (“Valuator”) of Pasadena, California. The effective date of the valuation is September 30, 2024 and is based on ZooOffice as an on-going concern. The going concern premise of value assumes ZooOffice has the financial resources to continue operating into the foreseeable future. All traditional approaches to value were considered by the Valuator and specific methods and calculations were weighted to reflect ZooOffice's value. ZooOffice was appraised using the fair value as the standard of value assuming no discount for a lack of control (DLOC) and no adjustment for lack of marketability (DLOM).
Because the balance sheet might not represent the business, this valuation only values the enterprise value.
The valuation supports the issuance of number of shares issued and the transaction at arm's length price.
There are no restrictive agreements that might impact the value of ZooOffice. The internal financials of ZooOffice were used by the Valuator in this valuation for analysis. The Valuator reviewed information on ZooOffice and the assumptions based on client discussions that allowed the Valuator to consider the net cash flow, the market selling multiples, ZooOffice's assets and liabilities and build out the Discount and Capitalization Rate which measures the investment risk.

Acquisition of Design Patent
ZenaTech has entered into an Asset Patent Purchase Agreement with Epazz dated October 8, 2024 for the purchase from Epazz by ZenaTech of Design Patent USD1005883S1 (the "Design Patent"). In addition, ZenaTech has agreed to purchase any future Design Patent related to the ZenaDrone 1000 product.
In consideration of the purchase of the Design Patent, ZenaTech will issue the following shares:
·6,000 Super Voting Shares with a stated value of $30.00 per share and an affective value of $2.13 per share, which will be allocated 5,000 to Epazz and 1,000 to Dr. Shaun Passley, and
·1,650,000 Preferred Shares with a stated value of $3.00 per share and an affective value of $2.49 per share, which will be allocated as to 1,150,000 to Epazz and 500,000 to Dr. Passley.
For future issue Design Patent(s) related to the ZenaDrone 1000 product, ZenaTech has agreed to issue the following shares, subject to director approval and compliance with applicable laws and regulatory rules at the time of issuance of the securities:
·16,000 Super Voting Shares with a stated value of $30.00 per share and an affective value of $2.13 per share, which will be allocated as to 12,000 to Epazz and 4,000 to Dr. Passley; and
·2,500,000 Preferred Shares with a stated value of $3.00 per share and an affective value of $2.49 per share, which will be allocated as to 2,000,000 to Epazz and 500,000 to Dr. Passley.
As disclosed above, Shaun Passley, PhD and Epazz are considered related parties to ZenaTech and the acquisition of the Design Patent by ZenaTech constitutes a related party transaction.
The Design Patent allows for the ZenaDrone 1000 to be able to generate lift from its body design.
The Company has received an independent valuation of the business of the Design Patent, which was prepared by the Valuator. All traditional approaches to value were considered in this valuation and the appropriate allocation of methods and calculations were weighted that best represent value of the value of the business. The Design Patent was appraised using the fair market value (enterprise value) as the standard of value assuming no discount for a lack of control (DLOC) and no adjustment for lack of marketability (DLOM).
The appraisal's estimated value for 100.00% of the Design Patent without any discounts and premiums, is $4,846,667 of enterprise value. This conclusion is subject to the Report's Limiting Conditions.
There are no restrictive agreements that might impact value. The Valuator reviewed information on the Design Patent as well as the assumptions based on client discussions that allowed the Valuator to forecast the future cash flow of the business, review the assets and liabilities to the extent possible and build out the Discount and Capitalization Rate, which is essentially an indicator of risk in the business investment.
The valuation supports the issuance of number of shares issued and the transaction at arm's length price. This being a transaction under common control the assets are accounted for at the carrying amount of previous owner.
The patents are yet to be registered in the name of the Company.

·46,000 Super Voting Shares with a stated value of $30.00 per share and an affective value of $2.13 per share, which will be allocated as to 37,000 to Epazz and 9,000 to Dr. Passley, and
·13,000,000 Preferred Shares with a stated value of $3.00 per share and an affective value of $2.49 per share, which will be allocated as to 9,000,000 to Epazz and 400,000 to Dr. Passley.
As disclosed above, Shaun Passley, PhD and Epazz are considered "related parties" to ZenaTech and the acquisitions of the Utility Patents by ZenaTech constitutes a related party transaction.
The Company has received independent valuations of each of the First Utility Patent and Second Utility Patent, which were prepared by the Valuator. The effective date of the valuations is December 31, 2024. All traditional approaches to value were considered in the valuations and the appropriate allocation of methods and calculations were weighed that best represent the respective value of each of the First Utility Patent and the Second Utility Patent. The Utility Patents were appraised using the fair market value (enterprise value) as the standard of value assuming no discount for a lack of control (DLOC) and no adjustment for lack of marketability (DLOM).
The appraisal's estimated value for 100.00% of the First Utility Patent without any discounts and premiums, is $29,081,865 USD of enterprise value. The appraisal's estimated value for 100.00% of the Second Utility Patent without any discounts and premiums, is $14,540,001 USD of enterprise value. These conclusions are subject to the Report's Limiting Conditions.
There are no restrictive agreements that might impact value. The Valuator reviewed information on the Utility Patents as well as the assumptions based on client discussions that allowed the Valuator to forecast the future cash flow of the business, review the assets and liabilities to the extent possible and build out the Discount and Capitalization Rate, which is essentially an indicator of risk in the business investment. The valuation supports the issuance of number of shares issued and the transaction at arm's length price. This being a transaction under common control the assets are accounted for at the carrying amount of previous owner.
The patent are yet to be registered in the name of the Company.

13.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.
No other compensation was provided to key management personnel for the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022. The Company and Shaun Passley, PhD agreed to forego his salary from inception until September 30, 2024.

14.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s financial instruments comprise financial assets such as cash, accounts receivable and note receivable from affiliate. Financial liabilities include accounts payable, loans payable, lines of credit, and lease liabilities. These instruments are primarily measured at amortized cost in the consolidated financial statements.
Management has assessed that the carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values as at December 31, 2024.
Classification within the Fair Value Hierarchy
In accordance with IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement, the Group classifies the fair value of its financial instruments based on a three-level hierarchy:
·Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
·Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.
·Level 3: Inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
All of the Group’s financial instruments are classified within Level 3, as they are valued using internal models and unobservable inputs.
Valuation Techniques
No financial instruments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. For instruments measured at amortized cost, fair values are estimated based on discounted cash flows using market interest rates applicable to instruments with similar terms and risks. Due to the nature of the instruments, carrying values are deemed to approximate fair value.
Transfers Between Levels
There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the year ended December 31, 2024
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 December 31, 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.
15.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, 2024, and 2023 respectively.

Advance to Affiliate for Future Services
As an operation process ZenaTech advances funds to Epazz, Inc. These funds relate 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. 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 because 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 December 31, 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 were $15,899,823 as of December 31, 2024. Of this amount $1,918,918 was included in current assets and $13,639,055 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 were $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.

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.
ZenaTech’s common stock is listed on Nasdaq, an American stock exchange, under the ticker ‘ZENA,’ listed on the BMV, a Mexican stock exchange, under the ticker ‘ZENA’ and listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in Germany under the ticker ‘49Q.’
United States of America Military Contracts
ZenaDrone, Inc. was awarded in December 2023 a $75,000 contract by the US Air Force to demonstrate the use of ZenaDrone 1000 being used to carry blood in the field.
ZenaDrone, Inc. signed a contract in December 2023 with the US Naval Research to demonstrate the use of ZenaDrone 1000 being used to carry cargo in below zero temperatures in Greenland.

The Company has only one operating and reporting segment. All revenue is from software licensing and subscription agreements, software support and maintenance, and technology consulting services. Software licensing, subscription agreements, software support and maintenance agreements provide ZenaTech repeat annual sales to existing clients. When the drone segment produces revenue, the Company will have two operating segments. The Company seeks acquisitions of established companies with revenue producing software solutions and an existing client base with a history of licensing renewal. The Company believes this provides stable revenue and positive cash flow while reducing risk.
2024 results
Revenue increased by 7%, to $1.96 million in 2024 from $1.82 million in 2023 due to the acquisitions of Ecker Capital, LLC and ZooOffice, Inc. during the last quarter of 2024.

Liquidity and capital resources
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Issuer will not be able to meet its obligations as they become due. The Issuer manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipating any investing and financing activities. Management and the Board of Directors are actively involved in the review, planning and approval of significant expenditures and commitments.
Liquidity risks can be challenging for all companies, especially those companies how’s product lines are in the product development, market introduction or product growth cycle. In 2024, the Company’s drone product completed the product development stage. Drone technology has a need for capital resources associated with marketing, drone distribution and production line setup. The Company manages these liquidity risks and capital resources needs in several ways. But the Company has two sides. First of which, it is a successful technology driven software company with positive margins in a business with established clients, including some in the government sector. The software and solutions side of the business provides needed cash flow for the drone technology side of the business.
Starting late in 2019, the Company has incurred costs for drone development. Most development has been completed in-house with new and existing personnel. The Company has engaged certain outside experts for specific needs when required. The Company believes this process has kept the drone development costs below what other companies may have incurred.
None-the-less, the Company will continue to face challenges with drone marketing and deployment. The greater amount of capital the Company can secure in the future will have a positive impact on the growth of drone sales.
ZenaTech did not have any commitments for capital expenditures as of December 31, 2024. During 2024 ZenaTech spent about $4,05 million on the drone business, used to support the manufacturing facility to purchase machinery and final stages of development in the warehouse facility in Sharjah, UAE. Currently the drones are manufactured by hand. The Company used the funds to purchase machines to speed up the manufacturing process and quality of the drone product.
ZenaTech’s existing cash and funds available through lines of credit will be sufficient to finance the next twelve months of the Company’s operations. ZenaTech anticipates that cash generated internally, and lines of credit will be sufficient to fund the drone development. The available funds through short-term lines of credit are more than $32,800,000. These funds are available through five separate lenders and credit facilities. In addition, the Company will receive repayments from Epazz, Inc. of long-term funds currently advanced to them.
The Company has adequate short-term capital associated with software subscriptions, programming, maintenance, and support. The Company has a receivable from Epazz, Inc. of $1.9 million as of December 31, 2024 and by comparison it was $2.5 million as of December 31, 2023. This receivable will provide funding for programming and support fees in 2025, which are associated with software services.

ZenaTech’s 2024 Financial Results and CEO Letter to Shareholders Shows Revenue and Asset Increases
Vancouver, British Columbia, (April 1, 2025) -- ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) ("ZenaTech"), a technology company specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drone, Drone as a Service (DaaS), enterprise SaaS and Quantum Computing solutions, announces 2024 financial results and presents a letter to stockholders from Chairman and CEO Shaun Passley, Ph.D.
2024 Financial Results
As of December 31, 2024, and consistent with its recent 6K filing, ZenaTech’s 2024 full year revenue increased by 7%, to $1.96 million as compared to $1.82 million for the full year of 2023 (all figures in $Cdn. dollars).
Comprehensive loss for the period was ($4.04 million) versus ($.251 million) last year due to increased one-time costs of listing on Nasdaq Capital Markets from lawyers. accountants, auditors, financial advisor (investment banker) and other going public expenses.
Assets have increased over 110% to $34.6 million at year-end 2024, up from $16.4 million at year-end 2023. This is due to the company’s acquisition of three patents, and a total of five software companies. In addition, the company has signed multiple Letters of Intent (LOI) as part of an acquisition strategy that will tremendously increase future revenue.
Liabilities continue to be low, having increased $3.7 million to $ 12.8 million at year-end 2024 from $9.1 million at year-end 2023.
The Company’s ratio of debt to total capitalization is 31%, which is well within a good level of less than 50%.
ZenaTech’s existing cash and funds available through lines of credit will be sufficient to finance the next twelve months of the company’s operations. We anticipate that cash generated internally and lines of credit will be sufficient to fund our drone development and acquisitions.
Additional information is available from ZenaTech’s 6K filing on the SEC EDGAR website. The company will be filing its 20F by the due date, which is April 30, 2024, for Private Foreign Issuers.

We’ve made progress in the development of the IQ Square, a larger version than the Nano drone that will be used for land surveys and other outdoor line-of-site inspections. We are now vertically integrated through setting up our Spider Vision Sensors company in Taiwan that will manufacture military-compliant component parts for our drones.
We continue to add to our patent portfolio; last year we acquired patents from a related party company for a second-generation improved design for the ZenaDrone 1000 enabling longer flight times and more payload capacity, and utility patents for an autonomous recharging pad and a multiple accessory securing panel. We are building our reputation for pioneering R&D projects utilizing AI drone swarms or multiple drones, incorporating the use of quantum computing with the launch of our Sky Traffic project for traffic management, weather forecasting, wildfire management and other applications.
We have been strategically expanding our offerings to innovate the drone industry through establishing a DaaS business model. At the same time, we’ve been expanding our footprint in other verticals, entering new markets both geographically and within industries for our drones and software products. I would like to highlight our accomplishments to date, and our strategy, plans, and vision for the future in the following areas:
Services/Solutions/Technology - DaaS
We believe we are the first drone company to launch a DaaS business model with a vision to have a national footprint in the US and globally. DaaS works similarly to Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), but instead of providing software over the internet, it offers packaged drone technology solutions and services on a subscription or pay-per-use basis. Businesses and government customers can conveniently access drones for tasks such as surveying, inspections, security and law enforcement, or precision agriculture solutions or without having to buy, operate or maintain the drones themselves. We believe this strategy to integrate our AI drone hardware, software, and expertise to innovate and improve operations of many traditional business verticals adds the potential for significant revenue in the US and globally. The first step of this strategy is the acquisition of land survey engineering firms giving us a base in various US regions and the opportunity to expand our range of drone services offered.
Acquisition Strategy and Expansion
While we are focused on organic growth, a forward-looking and revenue-accretive acquisition strategy will help our progress and speed in new drone and software markets. We look to acquire established companies with revenue producing software solutions or legacy businesses like land survey services, and an existing client base with a history of licensing renewal or repeat customers. We believe this provides stable revenue and positive cash flow while reducing risk.
We are currently working through negotiations on a pipeline of over 20 acquisitions primarily in the land survey industry where we have already announced eight Letters of Intent and closed on two of these acquisitions to date. This is part of a larger acquisition and roll-up strategy to disrupt the land survey business by accelerating the innovation, speed and precision benefits achieved by using AI drones. We view our strategy analogous to how Uber disrupted the taxi industry. Once we have “feet on the ground” in various regions offering drone-based land surveys to an existing customer base, we see this as the first step towards establishing and expanding our DaaS business model.
Our DaaS model enables governments, farmers, oil and gas companies, environmental firms, etc. to utilize a complete drone solution for a specific application─ i.e. land surveying, crop management, inspection, safety, or compliance application, and purchase it on a pay-as-you-go basis rather than having to buy the entire drone hardware and software solution. This business model provides cost-effective access to the enhanced productivity benefits and AI capabilities offered by drone technology to optimize time, improve precision, and eliminate outdated or manual processes.
To date, ZenaTech has announced three completed acquisitions, adding five additional software companies and brands to our collection of enterprise SaaS solutions. We acquired ZooOffice Inc., the holding company for software companies Jadian and DeskFlex, from ZenaTech’s former parent company.
These two software companies will provide important compliance and inspection software as well as scheduling and mapping software that will be incorporated into ZenaDrone AI drone solutions. We also acquired Ecker Capital, a related company and holding company for Interactive Systems and InterlinkONE- two companies offering warehouse software management that ZenaDrone plans to incorporate into its IQ Nano inventory management drone solutions. These acquisitions further expand ZenaTech’s portfolio of software and drone solutions as well as customer base and are expected to add to recurring revenue.
Most recently, we finalized the acquisition of a UK workplace scheduling and planning software company, Othership. We see an opportunity to build future applications to increase productivity for multinational companies with large and complex workforces and workplace scheduling challenges when combined with our quantum computing project.
In addition, we are strategically expanding our US footprint creating a strong base in Arizona, which is strategic to our US operations as the base of our subsidiary ZenaDrone, where our second drone manufacturing and production facility will be located and where we intend to build our drone solutions destined for the US military.
UAS Certifications, US Defense and Regulatory Requirements
As a drone company, Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) certifications in multiple jurisdictions where we operate, and FAA (Federal Aviation Authority) approvals are essential requirements for doing business. We received an FAA exception last year to demonstrate, exhibit, and test our drones in the US subject to certain requirements. We also applied for FAA Part 137 certification so we can use our drones for spraying applications for precision agriculture farming and for wildfire management applications in the future.
Our subsidiary ZenaDrone has initiated internal cybersecurity processes and controls for us to apply for Green UAS (Unmanned Aerial System) certification for the IQ Square drone for applications including land surveys, bridge inspections and other infrastructure inspections for use by US Defense agencies. This is an important steppingstone to qualifying for the Blue UAS certification to achieve supplier list status to sell directly to US defense branches.
Our subsidiaries ZenaDrone and Spider Vision Sensors are also collaborating with Taiwan-based certified electronics manufacturer and partner, Suntek Global, to apply for the company’s first Blue UAS certified IQ Nano drone sensor to enable future use by US Defense customers.
Vertical Integration and Compliance for US Government Markets
We established Spider Vision Sensors in Taiwan to ensure ZenaDrone’s products are compliant with the US National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), an important requirement for the company to win business with the US Military and a growing number of law enforcement and state/municipal governments as well. This division will manufacture and assemble drone sensors, electronics, and components such LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), thermal, infrared, multi-spectral and hyper sensors, cameras, and PBCs (Printed Circuit Boards), all in-house. Establishing a drone sensor and components manufacturer in Taiwan will help bring our products to market faster and removes dependencies on any Chinese made electronics that are becoming banned in the US.
Currently, Spider Vision Sensors is expanding its East Asian partnerships as well to sell to customers in the rapidly growing government defense and commercial drone markets in Taiwan, South Korea and Japan.
Personnel Expansion to Meet Demand
To date, we have expanded our team of drone engineers, technicians, and R&D engineers by adding 35 new hires to meet production line and capability requirements for the manufacturing of our ZenaDrone drones. These professionals will bring a wealth of differentiated and relevant skills to contribute to our future success.
In addition, we added and promoted several key team members in the business development, customer support, corporate development, and administration areas of ZenaTech and our subsidiary companies. I believe our longstanding team members will continue to be active and productive contributors in their new roles, helping us leverage growth opportunities in the AI drone and SaaS software marketplaces, and build our business over the coming months and years.
Listing of Common Shares on Foreign Stock Exchanges
We believe that there is a significant opportunity both for the company and potential investors to expand beyond our Nasdaq listing, increasing exposure, liquidity and trading by attracting foreign investors. For that reason, we have listed our shares on additional exchanges strategic to our business and customers in other parts of the world, including the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FSE) under the symbol “49Q” effective October 31, 2024, and the BMV: Bolsa Mexicana de Valores (Mexican Stock Exchange), effective January 23, 2025,
Again, I am pleased to provide you with this update, and I thank you for your continued investment in ZenaTech. Our entire team is optimistic about the company’s future potential.
We thank you for your continued support and look forward to updating you at the conclusion of the first quarter of 2025.
Sincerely,
Shaun Passley, PhD
