DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

GENERAL

Pulse is Canada's largest pure-play seismic data library company focused on the acquisition, marketing and licensing of seismic data to the Western Canadian energy sector.

Pulse's business model is designed to generate a growing stream of cash flow by repeatedly relicensing data in its seismic data library to oil and natural gas companies, and more recently to companies exploring for non-traditional forms of energy such as lithium and geothermal. Seismic data is also licensed to customers exploring for helium and in the development of carbon capture utilization and storage projects. Success in this business model requires extensive coverage through high-quality seismic data encompassing all geological target zones.

Historically, Pulse acquired seismic data to grow its data library through two main methods. The Company purchased proprietary rights to complementary 2D and 3D seismic data sets from other data library companies and oil and gas exploration and development companies, and conducted 3D participation surveys, when the opportunities arose. Pulse has not conducted a participation survey since 2015 but will continue to consider opportunities to do so. When Pulse partnered with customers on participation surveys, the seismic data acquired was added to Pulse's data library to generate future licensing revenue. Pulse retained proprietary rights to the data and participating customers were provided with a licensed copy. Pulse used internal staff to market, manage and oversee participation surveys and subcontracted all field acquisition activities to third parties.

The Company is continuously seeking and evaluating additional opportunities to acquire high-quality 2D and 3D data sets at favourable valuations to add to Pulse's current data library.

Seismic Data

Seismic data is used by energy exploration and development companies to identify portions of geological formations that have the potential to hold hydrocarbons. Seismic data is used in conjunction with well logging data, well core comparisons, geological mapping and surface outcrops to create a detailed map of the Earth's subsurface at various depths.

Seismic data is an essential part of the oil and natural gas exploration and development process. Companies engaged in oil and natural gas exploration and development use seismic data to assist in planning land acquisition programs, in exploring for and developing new reserves and in establishing the extent of existing reserves.

In acquiring seismic data, an acoustical energy wave is transferred from an energy source at or near the surface of the earth to the subsurface. These seismic waves reflect off of the various geological beds or strata in the Earth's subsurface. Sophisticated sensors and recording instruments at the surface collect the reflected waves and convert them to digital form. The data is subsequently processed, and an image of the subsurface formations is created. The resultant seismic data provides explorationists with valuable data on the potential of a particular area to yield oil or natural gas reserves and assists in the selection of drilling locations.

2D seismic data is measured in linear kilometres and after processing provides a sectional illustration of geological formations directly below the line on which the data was acquired. 2D seismic can extend over a distance spanning many kilometres. Intersecting 2D lines can enable explorers to map large pools of oil and natural gas, but without the precision required for smaller or more complex targets. Exploration companies typically use 2D seismic to get a sense of the regional geology of an area they think is prospective for oil and natural gas. 2D seismic data continues to be used to generate regional leads and prospects in oil and natural gas exploration areas.

3D seismic data is measured in square kilometres and after processing provides map-like overhead views as well as three-dimensional visualizations of the subsurface geology. 3D seismic data is shot in grids, generating a three-dimensional image of the subsurface. 3D seismic data enables a more precise definition of geologically complex targets and facilitates precise placement of oil and natural gas wells. 3D seismic is generally used to zero-in on a discrete area of geological interest initially identified with 2D seismic. 3D seismic data is particularly important for horizontal drilling, unconventional plays (such as shale gas and tight sands) and complex conventional drilling. Typical 3D seismic surveys cover an area anywhere from a few square kilometres to several hundred square kilometres.

Pulse calculates net kilometres of 2D data and net square kilometres of 3D data by multiplying the number of kilometres of seismic data in each 2D line and the number of square kilometres of seismic data in each individual 3D seismic dataset by Pulse's percentage of ownership in each.

The oil and natural gas exploration and development industry targets natural gas reservoirs that are high in natural gas liquids and crude oil, lying in unconventional shale and less-permeable or tight formations. 2D and 3D seismic data are important tools for these developments or "plays". 2D seismic data is used to map the regional faults in shale gas prospects, and 3D seismic data is used to map the exact contours of variable reservoirs, as well as small-scale fractures in shale formations, to plan accurate paths for horizontal wells.

Seismic Data Library

Pulse owns the largest licensable seismic data library in Canada which consists of approximately 65,310 net square kilometres of 3D seismic and 829,207 net linear kilometres of 2D seismic. The library extensively covers the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin where most of Canada's oil and natural gas exploration and development occur.

Pulse's 2D and 3D seismic data library coverage is shown on the following map:



Customers

Pulse's market is the Canadian Oil and Gas exploration and development industry, and more recently includes companies exploring for non-traditional forms of energy such as lithium and geothermal. Additionally, customers of seismic data are involved in helium exploration and carbon capture and storage project development. The top 10 customers by revenue are different each year.

Data Library Sales

Data library sales are conducted under various types of sale contracts. The sale contracts are classified as retail data library sales, library cards (discount agreement, paid on predetermined payment terms with periods of up to one year to select data), commitment cards (discount agreement, paid when data is selected and delivered within a one-year period) and review and possession agreements (client is provided with data to review and selects a portion of this data to licence, with the agreement having set payment terms).

Data library sales also include transaction-based sales. There are three main types of transaction-based sales. The first is the partnership or joint venture, in which an oil and gas asset holder elects to pool their expertise, capital and/or assets with one or more new participants to explore or develop a play. Under the Company's current standard form licensing agreements, any new technical or operational participant that wishes to view or interpret the seismic data must purchase a data licence from Pulse, generally at a discount (usually pre-defined in the initial licensing agreement).

The second kind of transaction-based sale is a corporate merger or acquisition. In this case, the seismic data is transferred to the new organization. Under the Company's current standard form licensing agreements, the buyer has 30 days to determine whether they will pay a change-of-control fee to keep the data or return the data to Pulse.

The third kind is the sale of an oil and gas asset or group of assets (as well as partial mineral rights to particular zones below the asset-owner's lands). Under the Company's current standard form licensing agreements, the license agreement is not transferable upon an asset sale. In this case, no rights to the seismic data transfer to the buyer, and there are no terms of payment in the licence agreement. Should the buyer be interested in Pulse's seismic data, they must license the data from Pulse at the regular price. Following this type of transaction, considerable time may pass until a data licensing sale occurs because the new asset owner may defer development of the particular asset. In addition, the new asset owner may be interested in only portions of the original dataset. The attraction of Pulse's library remains the far lower cost of licensing the data than shooting new seismic over the same area.

Where Pulse owns less than a 100 percent ownership interest in a seismic data set in its existing library, the remaining undivided interests in such seismic data are owned by various other parties. In those circumstances, agreements are generally in place between the various interest owners of the seismic data providing for, among other things, the management of the seismic data, the licensing of the seismic data and the division of revenues arising from the licensing of the seismic data. In the absence of a written agreement, industry practice is that any licences of the seismic data require the consent of all of the owners of undivided interests in the data.

When Pulse licenses seismic data in which it owns less than a 100 percent interest, the licence fee, net of commissions and management fees, is divided among Pulse and the other interested parties. Pulse records the net amount of the revenue in data library sales. Where Pulse manages the seismic data, Pulse generally earns a 5 percent management fee and a 10 percent commission on the licence fee. This income is recorded against brokerage fees paid to external brokers.

Certain datasets are also subject to revenue sharing agreements with other parties who do not own an undivided interest in the dataset. The revenue sharing agreements provide for the management, licensing and sharing of revenues from data licence sales from these datasets. The precise terms of these revenue sharing agreements (including those assumed on data purchases or entered into as part of data acquisitions) can vary greatly.

Seismic Data Library Business Competitive Conditions

The use of seismic data by oil and gas companies in exploration and development activities greatly enhances their chances for success. As a result, seismic data is essential information in the oil and natural gas exploration and development business. Pulse owns the largest licensable seismic data library in Canada, currently consisting of approximately 65,310 square kilometres of 3D and 829,207 kilometres of 2D seismic data.

Pulse is a pure-play seismic data library company and the majority of Pulse's data library sales revenue comes from the licensing of 3D data. Though there are several companies that own seismic data libraries in Canada, in general, there is little overlap between 3D databases, due to the high costs of overshooting existing 3D seismic surveys, and so there is little direct competition between specific 3D datasets. However, seismic data library companies and individual oil and gas companies may elect to overshoot an existing 3D dataset if it is not of the desired quality or specifications.

The Western Canadian geophysical services industry is comprised of a full spectrum of service providers from full-service companies to single proprietorship owners of seismic data. Additionally, oil and natural gas companies own seismic databases, some of which they may license. Unlike full-service companies, which own and operate equipment and field crews for the purposes of seismic data acquisition and seismic data processing, Pulse's focus remains on the procurement of seismic data by purchasing existing data and if new participation surveys are conducted in the future, contracted equipment and field crews will be utilized.

Intangible Properties

Pulse relies upon a combination of licence agreements, copyright and other intellectual property rights to protect its ownership rights and confidentiality of its seismic data.

Seismic Revenue Fluctuations

Revenue fluctuations are a normal part of the seismic data library business, and data library sales can vary significantly from quarter to quarter and year over year.

Traditional data library sales can occur at any time. This is due to the nearly continual changes in oil and natural gas industry conditions, increased demand for seismic data covering a specific area or play, and the timing of public offerings of petroleum and natural gas rights (land sales). Pulse no longer sees any patterns in traditional sales by quarter or by season.

Transaction-based sales can also occur at any time. This is due to corporate merger and acquisition, joint venture and asset disposition activity by Pulse's clients, which are unpredictable.

Employees

As of December 31, 2025 the Company had 15 full time employees.

Environmental, Health and Safety Policies

The Company has implemented written policies and procedures to promote a safe, healthy and accident-free workplace for its employees and contractors and to mitigate adverse effects on the environment. In addition, the Board of Directors has established an ESG-H Committee, formally the Environment, Social, Governance and Health Committee, whose mandate includes the monitoring of the environmental, health and safety practices and procedures of the Company for compliance with applicable legislation, conformity with industry standards, and prevention or mitigation of losses.
