INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Shareholders of Biorem Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Biorem Inc. (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2025, and the consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive earnings, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2025, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. This matter was addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on this matter.
Revenue from construction contracts
Refer to consolidated financial statements Note 3 (b) - Material accounting policies - Revenue recognition and Note 4 - Revenue.
The Company earns revenue from construction contracts which require performance over a time span which may extend beyond one or more accounting periods. The Company recognized $40,340,581 of revenue on these construction contracts using the percentage-of-completion method, based on costs incurred relative to the estimated total contract costs. The determination of estimated costs to complete requires management to make estimates regarding future material and labour costs.
We identified revenue recognized from construction contracts as a key audit matter as there is a heightened degree of estimation uncertainty associated with the costs to complete these projects. Management applies judgement to make several significant assumptions including changes in project schedules, variability in material pricing, and estimates for potential cost overruns. Estimates of costs to complete may change over time due to the long-term nature of construction contracts. This resulted in significant auditor effort and judgement to evaluate cost to complete estimates and assess the reasonableness of revenue recognized.
How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter
Our audit procedures to address this matter included the following, among others:
We obtained an understanding of the budgeting process for construction contracts including how budgets are created, approved, and tracked. We obtained an understanding of how management determines costs to complete and how these estimates impact revenue recognition;
For a sample of construction revenue contracts, we:
° Inspected the final approved contract and evaluated key terms and conditions including relevant obligations of each party and payment terms.
° Evaluated the total contracted revenue, billings, change orders, and the estimated costs to complete to assess the reasonability of the Company's revenue recognized.
° Obtained project budgets and assessed cost budgets against evidence such as vendor quotes and contracts.
° Compared prior period cost estimates to actual contract costs incurred on completed projects in the current year to assess management's ability to appropriately estimate contract costs to complete.
We tested a sample of actual material and labour costs incurred by agreeing to supporting project cost summaries and invoices.
Other Matter
The consolidated financial statements of Company for the year ended December 31, 2024, were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on April 16, 2025.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A).
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
We obtained the MD&A prior to the date of this auditor's report. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the Company as a basis for forming an opinion on the group financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for purpose of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor's report is Stephen McCourt.

-
Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
Critical judgments in applying accounting policies
The following are the critical judgments, apart from those involving estimations, that management has made in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies and that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
Indicators of impairmentIAS 36, Impairment of assets, requires management to assess the carrying values of the Company's non-financial assets, excluding inventory, at each reporting period and determine whether indicators of impairment exist. The determination of the existence of indicators of impairment requires judgment. Management also exercises judgment to determine whether there are factors that would indicate a cash generating unit ("CGU") is impaired. Some indicators of impairment that management may consider include changes in the current and expected future use of the asset, external valuations of the asset, and obsolescence or physical damage to the asset.
- Basis of presentation (continued) d) Use of estimates and judgements (continued)
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The following are the key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the consolidated financial statements within the next twelve months.
Estimation of contract costsThe Comp any recognizes revenue on its construction contracts using the percentage-of-completion method, under which contract revenue is recognized in proportion to the contract costs incurred in relation to the total costs estimated to complete the contract, as indicated in note 3(b). The determination of estimated costs to complete contracts requires management to make estimates regarding future material and labour costs. Differences between actual contract costs incurred and estimated contract costs could materially affect the timing of the recognition of contract revenues.
Determination of useful lives and residual values of long-lived assetsThe Company's leasehold improvements and equipment are depreciated or amortized to their residual values over their estimated useful lives as described in note 3(f). On an annual basis, management assesses the estimated useful lives and the residual values of these long-lived assets to determine whether they are still appropriate. In the determination of useful lives, management may consider changes in the current and expected use of the asset, changes to the asset's physical condition, or the acquisition of new assets which render existing assets obsolete. In the determination of residual values, management may consider changes in the asset's physical condition, its anticipated use, and external valuations of the asset. Differences between these estimates and the actual lives and residual values of the Company's long-lived assets could materially affect both the timing and amounts of depreciation and amortization expense.
ProvisionsThe Company recognizes provisions relating to warranties, contract losses and termination benefits. As indicated in note 3(i), the determination of the warranty provision is based on historical warranty data, the time-value of money, as well as management's assessment of specific warranty claims, if any. Provisions for contract losses are determined based the difference between contract value and total estimated costs to complete the contract. Estimates are also made regarding the timing of the cash outflows relating to any termination benefits and warranty claims. Differences between the timing and amount of estimated expenses relating to these claims could differ materially from the actual expenses incurred.
Allowances for expected credit lossesAn 'expected credit loss' impairment model applies when the Company requires a loss allowance which is recognized based on expected credit losses. This applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost. The estimated present value of future cash flows associated with the asset is determined and an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between this amount and the carrying amount as follows: the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to estimated present value of the future cash flows associated with the asset, discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate, either directly or through the use of an allowance account and the resulting loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations for the period. In a subsequent period, if the amount of the impairment loss related to financial assets measured at amortized cost decreases, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through the consolidated statement of operations to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized. The assumptions used for this estimate, which are based on the Company's historical collection history, are presented in Note 8.

Basis of presentation (continued)
d) Use of estimates and judgements (continued)
ii) Key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued)
Determination of Stock-based compensationThe estimation of stock-based payment costs requires the selection of an appropriate valuation model and consideration as to the inputs necessary for the valuation model chosen. The model used by the Company is the Black-Scholes valuation model at the date of the grant. The Company has made estimates to the volatility, the probable life of the stock options granted and the time of exercise of those stock options. The expected volatility is based on the Company's historical volatility over the same time period of the expected life of the stock options. The expected life of the stock options is based on historical data. These estimates may not necessarily be indicative of future actual patterns.
Income taxesProvisions for taxes are made using the best estimate of the amount expected to be paid based on a qualitative assessment of all relevant factors. The Company reviews the adequacy of these provisions at the end of the reporting period. However, it is possible that at some future date an additional liability could result from audits by taxing authorities. Where the final outcome of these tax-related matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will affect the tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
Deferred income taxesManagement uses estimates when determining deferred income tax assets. These estimates are used to determine the recoverability of non-capital tax loss carry forward and other tax amounts. Significant judgment is required to determine the probable future cash flows in order to recognize the deferred tax assets. Changes in market conditions, changes in tax legislation, and other factors, could adversely affect the ongoing value of deferred tax assets. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reassessed at each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to utilize all or part of the deferred income tax assets. Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting period and are recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable income for the asset to be recovered.
Material accounting policiesThe accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise indicated. The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Company's subsidiaries.
-
Basis of consolidation
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The financial statements of subsidiaries (which are wholly owned by the Company) are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Biorem Technologies Inc., Biorem Environmental (US) Ltd., Biorem Hong Kong, Biorem (Beijing) Environmental Technologies Company Limited, and Biorem Wuhu Environmental Technology Ltd. and Ltd in addition to those of BIOREM. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Revenue recognition
The Company generates revenues from the sale of standard products, from construction projects for specialized products and from services for repairs and maintenance.
Under IFRS 15 revenue is recognized based on the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Specifically, IFRS 15 includes a 5-step approach to revenue recognition:
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation
Standard products and services
Revenue for standard products and services is recognized at a point in time when the performance obligation is typically satisfied on the delivery of the product or service to the customer.
Construction contracts
The Company derives revenue from construction contracts which require performance over a time span which may extend beyond one or more accounting periods. The Company recognizes revenue on construction contracts using the percentage-of-completion method, based on costs incurred relative to the estimated total contract costs.
Contract revenue includes the initial amount agreed in the contract plus any variations in contract estimated reliably. Contract revenue is recognized in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the contract. Contract costs are expensed as incurred. Contract costs include all amounts that relate directly to the specific contract, are attributable to contract activity, and are specifically chargeable to the customer under the terms of the contract.
Measure of anticipated revenues and determination of progress
Under IFRS 15, the amount of anticipated revenue used when determining the amount of revenue to be recognized must be based on contracts with legally enforceable rights and obligations.
IFRS 15 requires that assurance-type warranty costs be excluded from the measure of progress of projects for which revenue is recognized over time using a cost input method.
The stage of completion of a contract is determined by reference to actual costs of work performed and estimates of remaining work to be completed. When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognized only to the extent of contract costs incurred that are likely to be recoverable. An expected loss on a contract is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
On an ongoing basis, the estimated total costs for construction contracts are revised based on the information available at the end of the reporting period. Changes in estimated total costs are reflected in the percentage of completion calculation of applicable projects in the same period as the change in estimate occurs.
Unbilled revenue represents revenue earned in excess of amounts billed on uncompleted contracts.
Unearned revenue represents the excess of amounts billed to customers over revenue earned on uncompleted contracts.

Change orders and claims
Contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. Most of the Company's contract modifications are for goods or services that are not distinct from the existing contract due to the significant integration service provided in the context of the contract and are accounted for as if they were a part of that contact. Change orders and claims, referred to as contract modifications are accounted for under IFRS 15, based, among other factors, on the fact that the contract modification is approved and it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized on such contract modifications will not occur when the uncertainty is subsequently resolved.
Services
Revenue relating to services rendered is recognized in profit or loss when the service is provided.
Under IFRS 15, an entity recognizes revenue as a performance obligation is satisfied, for standard products, construction contracts and services. i.e. when control of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer.
-
Foreign currency
Foreign currency transactions
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated into Canadian dollars at rates of exchange in effect at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the historical exchange rate. Revenues and expenses denominated in a foreign currency are translated at the monthly average exchange rate which approximates the historical exchange rate on the date of the transaction. Adjustments to the Canadian dollar equivalent of foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities due to the impact of exchange rate changes are recognized in Foreign exchange gain (loss) in the statement of operations at each reporting period.
Foreign operations
On consolidation, assets and liabilities of BIOREM's subsidiaries are translated into the Canadian dollar at the exchange rate on the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to Canadian dollars using average exchange rates for the month during which the transactions occurred. Foreign currency differences arising on the translation of foreign operations are recognized and presented in other comprehensive earnings (loss). The Company has recorded foreign exchange and losses associated with the net investment in the US subsidiaries in other comprehensive earnings (loss) because the intercompany loans and advances are not expected to be repaid in the foreseeable future.

Financial instruments
Classification
Under IFRS 9 the Company determines the classification of financial instruments based on the following categories:
Measured at amortized cost
Measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
Measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
The classification under IFRS 9 is based on the business model under which a financial asset is managed and on its contractual cash flow characteristics. Assets held for the collection of contractual cash flows and for which those cash flows correspond solely to principal repayments and interest payments are measured at amortized cost. Contracts with embedded derivatives where the host is a financial instrument in the scope of the standard will be assessed as a whole for classification.
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if both of the following criteria are met:
Held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
Contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost unless they must be measured at FVTPL (such as derivatives), or if the Company has chosen to evaluate them at FVTPL.

Measurement
Initial recognition - A financial asset or financial liability is initially recorded at its fair value, which is typically the transaction price, plus or minus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or financial liability. In the event that fair value is determined to be different from the transaction price, and that fair value is evidenced by a quoted price in an active market for an identical asset or liability or is based on a valuation technique that uses only data from observable markets, then the difference between fair value and transaction price is recognized as a gain or loss at the time of initial recognition.
Amortized cost - The amount at which a financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition minus the principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount and, for financial assets, adjusted for any expected credit losses. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset or liability and of allocating interest and any transaction costs over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts or payments through the expected life of the financial asset or liability to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Fair value through profit or loss - Changes in fair value after initial recognition, whether realized or not, are recognized through the consolidated statements of operations. Income arising in the form of interest, dividends, or similar, is recognized through the consolidated statements of operations when the right to receive payment is established, the economic benefits will flow to the Company, and the amount can be measured reliably.
Fair value through other comprehensive income - Changes in fair value after initial recognition, whether realized or not, are recognized through other comprehensive income. Income arising in the form of interest, dividends, or similar, is recognized through the consolidated statements of net loss and comprehensive loss when the right to receive payment is established, the economic benefits will flow to the Company, and the amount can be measured reliably.
Impairment
In relation to the impairment of financial assets, IFRS 9 requires an expected credit loss model. The expected credit loss model requires an entity to account for expected credit losses and changes in those expected credit losses at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition.
The Company has applied the simplified approach to recognize lifetime expected credit losses for its accounts receivable. In general, the Company anticipates that the application of the expected credit loss model of IFRS 9 results in earlier recognition of credit losses for the respective items.
IFRS 9 outlines a three stage model for impairment based on changes in credit quality since initial recognition: Stage 1 Financial instruments that have not had a significant increase in credit risk
Stage 2 Financial instruments that have had a significant increase in risk since initial recognition Stage 3 Financial instruments that have an objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date.
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost are credit-impaired using the three stage method prescribed by IFRS 9.

Derecognition
Financial assets - The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset have expired or when contractual rights to the cash flows have been transferred. Gains and losses from the derecognition are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
Financial liabilities - The Corporation derecognizes a financial liability when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, canceled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the derecognized financial liability and the consideration paid or payable, including non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
-
Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted average and includes expenditures incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing condition. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. When circumstances which previously caused inventories to be written down to its net realizable value no longer exist, the previous impairment is reversed.
-
Equipment and leasehold improvements
Equipment and leasehold improvements are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation, applicable government assistance or investment tax credits, and any recognized impairment loss.
Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use, the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and borrowing costs on qualifying assets.
Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalized as part of that equipment.
Depreciation is recognized so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Asset
Basis
Rate
Research and production equipment
Declining balance
20%
Office equipment
Straight-line or declining balance
3 years or 20%
Computer software and training
Declining balance
20%
Leasehold improvements
Straight-line
lesser of term of lease and useful life
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted if appropriate.
The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an asset is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in income at the time of disposal.
3. Material accounting policies (continued) -
Impairment of non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Company's non-financial assets, other than inventories, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine if there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or its related cash generating unit ("CGU") exceeds its estimated recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.
The Company's corporate assets do not generate separate cash inflows and are utilized by more than one CGU. Corporate assets are allocated to CGUs on a reasonable and consistent basis and tested for impairment as part of the testing of the CGU to which the corporate asset is allocated.
Assets that suffer an impairment are tested for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
- Leases
-
Financial instruments (continued)
At the inception of a contract, to determine if it contains a lease, the Company assesses whether it conveys the right to control and obtain substantially all of the economic benefits of an identified asset, for a period of time, in exchange for consideration. Where a contract contains a lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the commencement date of the lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and may be adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. Cost is the amount of the initial lease liability plus any initial direct costs incurred and any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any incentives received. The right-of-use assets are included in the cost of property and equipment on the statement of financial position. They are depreciated, in accordance with the Company's existing accounting policy, over the shorter of the term of the lease or the life of the asset. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of future lease payments discounted at the interest rate implicit in the contract. If the implicit rate cannot be determined, the incremental borrowing rate over a similar term and with similar security for the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment is used.
The lease payments include fixed payments less any incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. Where the lease contains an extension or purchase option, the costs associated with the option are included if it is reasonably expected to be exercised by the Company. Thereafter, the amount of the lease liability is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of the lease liability is remeasured to reflect any modifications to the contract terms. Lease liabilities are presented as a component of debt on the consolidated statement of financial position. The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for contracts that have a lease term of 12 months or less or are for the use of low value assets. These contracts are recognized as an expense in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss in the period the cost is incurred. In addition, for certain asset classes, the Company has elected to treat both lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for the purposes of applying IFRS 16.

Material accounting policies (continued)
-
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Company will be required to settle that obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the cash flows estimated to settle the obligation at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and risks specific to the Company. The unwinding of the discount is recognized as finance cost.
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
A provision for warranties is recognized when the underlying products or services are sold. The provision is based on historical warranty data and a weighting of all possible outcomes against their associated probabilities.
-
Equity
Common stock issued by the company is classified as equity when there is no contractual obligation to transfer cash or other financial assets to the holder of the shares. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue or repurchase of equity instruments are recognized in equity, net of tax.
Treasury shares are equity instruments repurchased by the Company which have not been canceled and are deducted from equity on the consolidated statement of financial position, irrespective of the objective of the purchase. The Company acquires its own subordinate voting shares on the open market for its share-based payment awards. No gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of treasury shares. Consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity.
Dividends and other distributions to holders of the company's equity instruments are recognized directly in equity.
-
Stock options
The grant-date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognized as an expense, with a corresponding increase in contributed surplus, over the period that the employees unconditionally become entitled to the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized as an expense is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. If and when stock options are exercised, consideration received is credited to share capital and the fair value attributed to these options is transferred from contributed surplus to share capital.
3. Material accounting policies (continued) -
Government grants
Government grants are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.
The benefit of a government loan at a below-market rate of interest is treated as a government grant, measured as the difference between proceeds received and the fair value of the loan based on prevailing market interest rates.
Government grants whose primary condition is that the Company should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are treated as a reduction of the plant and equipment costs.
Other government grants are recognized as other income over the periods necessary to correspond with the costs for which they are intended to compensate, on a systematic basis. Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Company with no future related costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable.
-
Finance costs
Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings, that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset, and interest on lease obligations and are recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
-
Earnings per share
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share data for its common shares. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the earnings attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is determined by adjusting the earnings attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the effects of all potential dilutive instruments which comprise stock options granted. The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding share options were exercised and that proceeds from such exercises were used to acquire common shares at the average market price during the reporting period.
-
Income taxes
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized.
-
Operating segments
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief decision maker is responsible for allocating resources and assessing the performance of the operating segments and has been identified as the Senior Leadership Team that makes strategic decisions. The Company operates and reports its results as one operating segment.

-
Consolidated statements of cash flows
Cash paid for interest is presented as an operating activity.
-
Investment tax credits
The Company applies for investment tax credits relating to qualified expenditures under available government incentive programs including the Scientific Research and Experimental Development program. The benefit of investment tax credits is recognized when the applicable eligible expenditures generating the investment tax credits are incurred and are recorded as other income. Investment tax credits related to the acquisition of equipment are deducted from the costs of the related assets.

It also added new disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows and equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income. The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026.
In April 2024, the IASB issued Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (Amendment to IFRS 18) to provide further guidance on the structure of the statement of profit and loss, required disclosures in the financial statements for certain profit or loss performance measures that are reported outside the Company's financial statements and principles on aggregation and disaggregation of information in the financial statements. The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027.
The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of these standards on its consolidated financial statements.

The maximum number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to options granted to any one person is limited to 5% of the common shares outstanding at the time of the grant. The share option exercise price is the closing market price of the Company's common shares on the day prior to the date of the grant. Options granted under the plan may be exercised during a period not exceeding ten years from the date of the grant, subject to termination upon the option holder ceasing to be a director, senior executive or employee of the Company and have vesting periods of at least three years. Options issued under the plan are non-transferable.

Financial and capital risk management
The Company is exposed to risks of varying degrees of significance which could affect its ability to achieve its strategic objectives for growth. The main objectives of the Company's risk management process are to ensure that risks are properly identified and that the capital base is adequate in relation to those risks. The principal financial risks to which the Company is exposed are described below.
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. Credit risk arises primarily from the Company's cash and trade receivables. The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Company's exposure is continuously monitored.
The Company's objective of managing credit risk is to mitigate the credit losses incurred. Credit risk is mitigated by entering into contracts with stable, creditworthy parties. The Company measures credit risk by reviewing the aging of its receivables. Credit reviews are conducted as deemed necessary and take into account the third party's financial position and past payment experience. The Company minimizes the credit risk of cash and cash equivalents by making deposits with only reputable entities that have high credit ratings assigned by national credit rating agencies. The Company's credit risk and related risk management practice remain unchanged from the prior year.
The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the consolidated financial statements represents the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk. No collateral or credit enhancements are in place.
At December 31, 2025, the Company had $1,372,339 (2024-$841,644) in trade receivables that were past due against which the Company recorded an allowance for expected credit losses of $674,678 (2024-$587,308).
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk refers to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company's working capital loan with a floating interest rate. The Company is exposed to fair value risk on the Company's term loan due to the fix rate nature of the interest rate attached thereto. The Company's objective of managing interest rate risk is to mitigate interest rate fluctuations while securing financing with the most favourable terms possible. Interest rate risk is managed by negotiating the most favourable terms possible with the Company's lenders. The balance of the Company's working capital loan on December 31, 2025 was $NIL.

Market risks
Foreign currency risk:
The Company's functional and reporting currency is the Canadian dollar. Foreign currency risk is primarily related to the Company's subsidiary in the US. US operations are conducted primarily in US dollars. The Company's subsidiary in China conducts business in Chinese renminbi. For the Company's foreign currency transactions, fluctuations in the respective exchange rates relative to the Canadian dollar will create volatility in the Company's cash flows and the reported amounts of sales, cost of goods sold and general and administrative expenses on a period-to-period basis and compared with operating budgets and forecasts. The Company's sales are primarily in Canadian and US dollars. The Company's objective of managing foreign currency risk is to mitigate or eliminate the losses incurred. There have been no changes to the objective or the related risk exposure from the prior year.
At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company held no forward exchange contracts.
The carrying amounts of the Company's foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the statement of consolidated financial position date are as follows:

The following table details the Company's sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in the Canadian dollar against the United States dollar. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 10% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in profit and other comprehensive income where the Canadian dollar strengthens 10% against the United States dollar. For a 10% weakening of the Canadian dollar against the United States dollar, there would be an equal and opposite impact on the profit and other comprehensive income, and the balances below would be negative.

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, which has built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Company's short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Board of Directors reviews and approves the Company's operating and capital budgets, as well as any material transactions out of the ordinary course of business including proposals on major investments. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecasts and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
The Company's objectives of managing liquidity risk are to forecast the liquidity position as accurately as possible and to maintain sufficient resources to pursue its growth strategy. There have been no changes to the Company's objectives during the year. The Company's financial liabilities include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, unearned revenue and contract advances.
A maturity analysis as at December 31, 2025 of the Company's financial liabilities based on gross, undiscounted cash flows is presented below. The maturity analysis is based on the earliest date that liabilities may be due although the Company expects some of its liabilities to be paid later than the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay.
